Chapter 66 Hatake Tatsuya in Naruto (Patreon)

"Yo, listen up, here's the deal, Number one ninja village, that's the real deal, Top-notch defense, fortifications tight, Breaking through here ain't gonna be light!"

In the battlefield area on the border between the countries of Yunokuni and the Land of Fire, Killer B, who is less than 20 years old but can control the Eight-Tails more proficiently, hummed a strange RAP and turned to his righteous brother, Ai, who was beside him:

"Yo, big bro, let's scheme this right, Raikage-sama's power, join the fight tonight, Break through the barriers, side by side we'll go, Together we'll conquer, no stopping, just flow!"

Bang!!

A was furious and Roared at Killer B on the head, scolding:

"You imbecile! Can't you be more serious on the battlefield? You mess up every important task. If it weren't for Konoha's strength, my father and I wouldn't have a hard time dealing with them."

After Killer B quieted down, A explained, "Father is currently tied up dealing with Sand Shinobi and Konoha, so he can't leave at the moment. There's supposedly a guy around your age, called [Golden Flash], who's quite challenging to deal with."

"But it's fine; even without my father, we can break through the defenses of the Land of Fire!"

As he spoke, Ai cracked his knuckles, creating a series of satisfying clicks.

"Let's do it! Lord A!"

Shouted a special Jōnin from the Cloud Shinobi nearby.

A, Killer B and the others looked up. On the distant horizon, numerous dots had appeared, rapidly growing larger within their field of vision.

In less than ten seconds, the newcomers came into full view.

The Shinobi Army of Konoha!

"Is that the [Konoha Black Knife] who defeated second Kazekage in the previous battle?"

A was particularly interested in regarding any information about Tatsuya. Killer B gestured with both hands, hummed, and chimed in:

"He uses a Sword? Hey, big brother, leave that guy to me! Gyuki and I will have some fun with him. Gyuki, you can handle others!"

"Alright, but be cautious. I've heard that he's different from White Fang, who excels in lightning style. He's exceptionally skilled in fire style, and once the flames are started burning, they can't be extinguished. You need to be careful, got it?"

After A's caution, he suddenly noticed another individual at the forefront of the Konoha Shinobi's army.

The weathered face, just over fifty but heavily lined, left A in disbelief. "Is that... Danzo?

Naturally, A had heard of Danzo's name.

However, wasn't the renowned old man who was quite scheming always operating from the shadows in the Ninja World?

Why was he now on the frontlines of the battlefield? Could something have happened to Konoha? No, where were White Fang and Jiraiya?

Regardless, Sarutobi Hiruzen could manage on his own. So why did they send Danzo?

"It seems that, given the circumstances, Danzo must be the overall commander, right?"

A's hair seemed to stand on end, resembling Hatake Sakumo's, as he conjured a thunderous armor enveloping his body.

"B, taking him down should seriously undermine Konoha's morale, right?"

With that declaration, A shot forward like a heavy missile.

The tremendous impact shattered the ground he had stood on moments ago, generating a powerful shockwave that nearly knocked over other Cloud Shinobi nearby.

"Take care of the Black Fang, then!"

A shouted without looking back.

Killer B flung eight short blades into the air in succession, clamping them between his teeth, elbows, armpits, and knees.

In the next instant, he spiraled toward the Konoha army, assuming this peculiar posture.

The Cloud Shinobi Ninja Army behind him erupted with an unyielding aura, all yelling and charging at the Konoha Army.

"Master Danzo, A is targeting you!"

Hyuga Hizashi, who had foreseen the AB combination's tactics, alerted Danzo and Tatsuya, "Master Tatsuya, the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails is headed your way!"

And as Hyuga Hizashi shouted,

Tatsuya had already flashed forward to confront Killer B. Killer B's expression abruptly changed, and he muttered: "Gyuki in the house, feeling the speed, Faster than my big bro, that's a crazy lead,"

Clang!

In the next instant, the blades of Tatsuya and Killer B clashed, igniting a shower of sparks.

"Well, this feels strange."

At the moment of collision between Tatsuya's and Killer B's blades,

Even the demeanor of the Eight-Tails within the sealed space shifted subtly. This oddity, accompanied by a profound sense of unease, What could it be...?

"The son of the Third Raikage, a lightning-style ninja? My wind style isn't unfamiliar with it."

On the other side, Danzo's tone remained solemn, devoid of fear.

Lightning realase was meant to be countered by his wind style!

"Wind Style: Vacuum Continuous Waves!"

Observing A approach cloaked in lightning-style chakra armor,

Danzo's hand seals were executed at astonishing speed, causing scythe-like wind blades to burst forth from his mouth.

"Hmph!"

Confronted by the oncoming wind blades, a smug grin played across A's face.

A sudden blue flash and he vanished from view, letting the wind blades pass through empty space.

In the blink of an eye, he reappeared to Danzo's right.

"I am not as swift as Teacher Tobirama, but you can't escape my perception."

Danzo's cold voice rang out as he swung a kunai the moment A materialized.

Yet, the kunai he released broke into two upon contact with A's waist.

"Hahahaha!!!"

Tatsuya could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, one hand covering his mouth, after distancing himself from Killer B.

This scene resembled famous art from the later years.

The reminder that Danzo had attempted to use a kunai against Susanoo, with all its pomp and circumstance, was a poignant reminder of his foolishness.

Across from Tatsuya, Killer B was equally baffled by Danzo's actions.

Hadn't the other party ever heard of his older brother's name?

Even if he hadn't, the Lightning Style Chakra armor was a lineage passed down through generations of Raikage.

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, Danzo should have seen the Second Raikage's techniques in the First Ninja War, right?

A himself was flabbergasted, as the kunai was thrown at him.

What was the purpose of this?

A temptation?

"Indeed, quite resilient."

Danzo frowned and muttered.

"You fool!"

A felt that his intelligence had been insulted by facing such an opponent. His left hand melded into a hand blade, and a surge of Lightning Style Chakra erupted forth.

"Lightning Style: Hell Stab!"
