Naruto : Cruel Rebirth

Crack!

Raikage charged at Naruto, his two fingers, surrounded by lightning, aimed straight for Naruto's face!

"Hm?" Naruto's eyes flickered, "This move is the third Raikage's strongest spear…"

--- Shinra Tensei!

Whoosh!

Raikage's charge halted. The lightning on his fingers collided with the repulsion force, sending arcs of electricity flying, but ultimately, it couldn't break through! 

Bang!

After a few seconds of stalemate, Raikage planted his feet on the ground and rapidly retreated, coming to a stop at the open wall.

Boom! The four walls collapsed simultaneously, the repulsion force sending rocks and dust flying. The Raikage mansion had turned into an open plaza!

Raikage cursed, "Damn it, it's that rebound force again!!"

Naruto thought to himself, "If that had been his ultimate technique, this would have been bad."

Whoosh!

A gust of wind swirled around his feet as Naruto ascended into the air!

Raikage shouted at the sky, "You think you can escape!!!" 

Naruto, looking down from above, said, "If you want to fight me seriously, you should be ready for your village to be turned to rubble. Do you have the courage for that?"

Raikage replied firmly, "Hmph! I've been through the ninja world for half my life, and I'm not afraid of your father, the Yellow Flash. Why would I be afraid of his son? Especially a petty thief like you!"

Petty thief…

Naruto's Rinnegan glowed coldly as he said, "Back then, Kumogakure coveted the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. During the Chunin Exams, they tried to kidnap the young daughter of the Hyuga family. Even after the plan failed, they kept harassing them, eventually leading to the tragic death of Hizashi. Tell me, how can you say your actions were righteous?"

Raikage arrogantly responded, "Hmph! The strong prey on the weak. The third Hokage didn't dare risk starting a war with us, which led to Hyuga Hizashi's death. Don't blame that on me!" 

Naruto closed his eyes and coldly said, "Hm, I suppose that's true…"

Raikage tried to mock him, "So, you, a rogue ninja from Konohagakure, still plan to defend Konohagakure?"

Naruto opened his eyes, "I may be a rogue ninja, but because I am, everything I do is based on my own stance!"

Smack!

As his words ended, he slammed his palms together.

Sizzle!

From the gap in his palms, a small black sphere appeared! The ball, barely an inch in size, radiated a dark chakra pulse. Looking at it, it felt as if your vision couldn't escape its pull, and a chill ran down your spine. 

Raikage's pupils suddenly shrank. "What is that!?"

Naruto raised the black sphere with his left hand and threw it into the sky! 

Buzz! The black sphere blended into the night, reflecting the moonlight, scattering thousands of beams of white light!

Naruto calmly said, "This is a farewell gift..."

With a snap! He suddenly clapped his hands together, and his left eye released a blinding light! — "Chibaku Tensei!" 

Boom! The Raikage's mansion collapsed first, with debris and rubble carrying the Raikage high into the sky! 

"Damn!!! Is this gravity!!?"

As he ascended, Raikage stepped on the rubble, trying to escape the pull, but when that failed, he kept smashing the stones with his fists and feet... 

Crack! Crack! But then, the ground split open, and massive rocks began to rise, forcing Raikage to react too slowly. Unable to keep up, he was ultimately buried under the stones after being hit by more of them! 

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode, I'll make sure of this, I'll be back..." 

Whoosh! The Flying Thunder God Technique activated, and Naruto disappeared into the sky. 

Whoosh! A few seconds later, Naruto returned with everyone, landing on the ridge outside Kumogakure!

"Ha... ha... ha..." Suigetsu struggled to support himself with the giant sword, relieved, "Good thing you arrived on time. Kumogakure's Lightning Release is too effective against my Water Clone ability! If you were any later, I might have been done for!"

Whoosh! The curse mark faded, and Jugo, with deep and shallow cuts across his chest and back, spoke grimly, "Kumogakure's sword techniques are truly impressive. They can easily injure my cursed form. I almost lost control of my killing intent..." 

Hoshigaki Kisame, with his sword Samehada resting on his shoulder, said, "I actually enjoy fighting against people with huge amounts of chakra, but sadly, in Kumogakure, there are no more beasts or Raikage-type warriors left..."

Orochimaru's hair swayed, his body surrounded by a white snake. With a knowing smile and a hoarse voice, he said, "I'm more interested in the mysteries of Kekkei Genkai and techniques. This trip has given me a lot of useful samples, heh heh..."

Chibaku Tensei had been completed, frozen in the night sky, becoming a magnificent spectacle! 

Konan, with a cold gaze, admired it without holding back, "Chibaku Tensei ... I didn't realize you could already use this technique. Who's trapped inside it?"

Naruto answered flatly, "Raikage."

"!?" Everyone looked shocked. 

Konan, slightly surprised, then speculated, "Are you planning to use Raikage's life to make a name for the Light Akatsuki?"

"No." Naruto shook his head indifferently, "I just wanted Raikage to experience what it's like to be a 'caged bird.' I'm not planning to take his life!"

Zii! Orange eye line appeared, and Sage Mode activated.

— "Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken!"

Boom boom boom...! The wind blades sliced through the air, exploding with unmatched power! Once the dust settled, a gap had been blasted into the lower edge of the Chibaku Tensei, providing Raikage a chance to escape. 

"The Flying Thunder God mark is already in place. From now on, coming here will feel like coming home..."

Whoosh! Naruto's cloak fluttered as he spun around with ease, "Let's go, back to Hidden Rain!"

The group quickly returned to Hidden Rain.

Boom! A few minutes later, with a loud crash, a bolt of lightning shot out from the gap in the Earth Explosion Star.

As the lightning dispersed, the exhausted Raikage fell to the ground. Filled with rage, he yelled, "Damn Uzumaki Naruto, from now on, you are my, and Kumogakure's, number one enemy!!" 

Thud!!! He landed in a pile of rubble...

"It's Raikage-sama!!!"

"Quick, the medical team!!!"

...

Another battle came to an end. 

Crack! 

The blood-soaked tree trunk shattered from Obito's right shoulder…

The Mangekyou under the mask coldly watched the barely breathing Killer Bee, unable to rise again!

"Don't blame me, this ninja world has already rotted to the core. Only the tailed beast within you can create an infinite dream symbolizing hope…"

Whoosh! A black vortex pulling Killer Bee in!

"Eight-Tails, the hunt is a success." 

Obito, closing the portal, turned around and calmly said, "You've come..."

He didn't use Madara's voice for this greeting, but his own original voice.

Tobi said, "I was worried you might accidentally kill the Eight-Tails and mess up our future plans."

Obito withdrew his gaze, "I'm no longer a kid. Even venting my anger has its limits. Anyway, the Eight-Tails is back in place now..."

Tobi said, "Should we seal the Eight-Tails into the statue now? Honestly, with our current manpower, it'll probably take more than ten days..." 

Obito's gaze was distant, "Even if we seal the Eight-Tails into the statue, it would become stronger than it is now. It would be uncontrollable, which would be pointless."

Tobi shrugged, "Hmm, that's true. After all, only someone with the Rinnegan can control it."

Obito thoughtfully replied, "So, before we get the Rinnegan back, I'll pull the Eight-Tails out of the Jinchuriki and temporarily use it as a summoning beast, just like how I once controlled the Nine-Tails..."

Tobi clapped his hands, "Hmm~ That's a good idea. You were able to control the most powerful Nine-Tails for a while, so controlling the Eight-Tails should be easy."

Obito turned, placing a hand on Tobi's shoulder. His right eye released the Uzumaki technique. 

"Let's go back. Sasuke's eyes should be ready soon. Our next move will focus on Sasuke..."
