Konoha Hypocrite

Chapter 257.1: Shocking Appearance, Battle Begins

Just at the critical moment, when all hope seemed to be lost…

Crackle, crackle, crackle… Ear-piercing electric sounds were heard throughout the battlefield, and a dazzling light flew straight toward Sandaime Raikage from the distance. The Raikage’s eyes narrowed and he crossed his hands in front of him. Right in the next moment, a lightning-covered fist hit his arm.

Boom… A deafening sound of an explosion was heard and Sandaime Raikage was sent back flying, turning into a blue electric light. The moment he landed on the ground, he stamped his feet hard to hold on but he still slid back hundreds of meters, setting off a long trail of smoke and dust.

At the same time, Uchiha Tonan, who was wearing a black windbreaker, landed firmly on top of Gamabunta’s head, the dark material gently fluttering behind him making everything around motionless. The entire battlefield fell into deathly silence for a while.

Soon after, as everyone came back to their senses, all eyes were locked on the person on top of Gamabunta’s head in great shock. Everyone loudly exclaimed and began talking in simultaneous conversations…

“Tonan!” “It’s Tonan-kun!” “Is that Uchiha Tonan?”

“Hokage-sama sent him over to support us.” “How long has it been? How come he feels so different from the time when I saw him in the village?”

“It must be because of the battlefield. After being tempered by blood and war, how can he still resemble his former self?”

……

Tonan had arrived at the battlefield long before this battle had started. The reason why he chose right this moment to appear and not a second earlier, was obviously to increase the shock factor. Like this, he could get twice the result with half the effort in gaining acknowledgments.

“I have to pretend again.” Tonan thought to himself in his heart. He turned his head to Uzumaki Kushina and showed a gentle smile. He asked, “Kushina-senpai, are you alright?”

Kushina was stunned for a moment. She looked at Tonan whose height was about the same as hers and answered in a daze, “I… I’m fine.” Tonan gave a small smile as if to reassure her, and turned his head to look at Sandaime Raikage who was standing in the center of the battlefield again. He then leisurely said to her, “Leave Sandaime Raikage to me.”

The Raikage in the distance was worth his experience. He didn’t attack rashly and instead looked at ‘A’ and Killer B and instructed, “You two, come back.”

“Damn it, just a bit more and my tactics would have succeeded!” ‘A’ was completely unwilling but he had no choice. He reluctantly walked toward the Kumo battlefront and shouted out loud, “B! Come back here quickly.”

Upon hearing ‘A’, Killer B dispelled his tailed beast transformation and turned around. He walked away while swaying his hips sensationally. “Lost the fight, yo yo… Change people, yeah yeah, maintain this gorgeous rhythm…”

On the battlefield, almost everyone’s gaze was focused on Sandaime Raikage and Tonan. But only Namikaze Minato noticed something different. His figure flashed and appeared beside Hatake Kakashi. He then pulled Kakashi and left. No one knew where they went.

Tonan watched Sandaime Raikage quietly maintaining a stalemate of sorts for some time. He then took off his black windbreaker neither hurriedly nor slowly. Suddenly, Gamabunta’s displeased voice came from under his feet. “You little brat, don’t stand on my head!”

Gamabunta knew that Tonan had killed Senju Tsunade, and forced Jiraiya to defect. Therefore, he didn’t have any good impression of Tonan in his heart. If it weren’t for the fact that both of them belonged to the same side right now, based on his violent temper, he would have already cursed Tonan a long time ago.

When Tonan heard Gamabunta’s words, a hint of pallid light flashed through his eyes. He squinted his eyes a little and coldly said, “Oh? What a disobedient summoning beast!”

In the next moment, he lifted his left leg and stomped lightly. Bang… Tonan stepped lightly but Gamabunta felt like he was hit on the head with great force, and his head instantly entered the ground.

“Huh…” Seeing this situation, Kushina quickly persuaded Tonan, “Tonan, this is Minato’s summoning beast.” Tonan nodded his head lightly and indifferently said, “I’m sorry, this is wartime, but this summoning beast is making the other side feel that we are not united enough. So it needs to be taught a lesson.”

“Damn it…” Gamabunta’s entire head had sunk into the mud. He was furious and wanted to curse Tonan but he was also afraid of Tonan’s strength. His move just now gave Gamabunta an inexplicable sense of powerlessness. After hesitating for a while in his heart, he chose to endure for the time being.

In the distance, Sandaime Raikage carefully sized up Tonan and began to analyze the information in his mind. “According to the intelligence I received, this little kid’s ninjutsu is very powerful. Moreover, he has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan just like Uchiha Madara. So, his ninjutsu and genjutsu are both very impressive. But judging from that punch just now, his taijutsu should also be very strong.”

“Is he a ninja with perfect ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu without any flaws? No, the intelligence also said that every time this kid fights with all his strength, he will suffer a serious backlash. It seems he is over-drafting his body in exchange for powerful strength. Since it’s like this, the best tactic would be…”

“Don’t care about anything else, hit him directly!”

Sandaime Raikage directly threw out the nauseating and complicated information in his mind and yelled at Tonan, “Uchiha Tonan, I’ve heard of you. You killed Suna’s Kazekage.”

At this moment, Tonan had already taken off his black windbreaker. He held it with one hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. He calmly replied, “Senior Raikage, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you and wanted to ask for advice for a long time.”

Behind, Kushina said with a worried look, “Tonan, he’s very strong, you’ve to be careful.”

The corners of Tonan’s mouth curled up a little, and he slowly said word for word, “I’m also very strong.”
