Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

Page 177

Meanwhile, Uchiha Kakuzan, standing beside Killer Bee, slowly withdrew his hand from Killer Bee's lower abdomen, a smile playing on his lips as he whispered:

"Eight-Tails chakra, collection complete."

After Uchiha Kakuzan finished speaking, he originally intended to leave directly, but after looking at Killer Bee, who was still unconscious, he changed his mind and finally picked him up and flew towards the entrance of Cloud Thunder Gorge.

At the entrance of Yunlei Gorge at this time

As time went by, the rumbling sounds coming from inside Yunlei Gorge made Sami outside increasingly anxious, and he couldn't help but pace back and forth.

"Lord Yukito, are Lord Okiyama really alright?"

You see, if Killer Bee were to truly reveal his Eight-Tails form, even the Raikage would find it very troublesome.

At this point, Samui couldn't help but show a look of worry on her otherwise very delicate face.

Just as Yugito was about to say something with an amused expression, he seemed to sense something, turned to look at the entrance of Yunlei Gorge, and spoke to Samui beside him:

"Alright, you don't need to worry anymore, your Lord Qiushan has returned safely."

Upon hearing Yukito's teasing words, Samui blushed slightly and looked towards the entrance with a delighted expression.

Chapter 509: Encounter with Ma Buyi

Under Samui's watchful gaze, Uchiha Kakuzan, carrying the still unconscious Killer Bee, flew to them at an incredible speed.

"Clap!"

With a soft thud, Uchiha Kakuzan threw Killer Bee to the ground and said:

"Alright, I've accomplished my objective. Is it appropriate to leave this guy here?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Samui's face showed a look of confusion, and she asked, puzzled:

"Lord Qiushan, wasn't your purpose in coming here to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki? Why did you leave it here?"

Upon hearing Samui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head and said:

"Why would I capture him? He's not as strong as me, and bringing him back would just be a hassle."

I came here only because I needed the Eight-Tails' chakra for some reason, and after knocking Killer Bee unconscious, I had already accomplished my purpose."

At this point, Uchiha Kakuzan looked around and then asked:

"This guy will need some time to wake up, and even after he does, he'll be in a period of weakness. Should we leave him here without any problems?"

Samui then understood the purpose of Lord Qiushan's visit, and after hearing his question, he quickly replied:

"No problem, Lord Qiu Shan. This Yunlei Gorge is not only harsh in environment, but also in a very remote location. Normally, there are hardly any traces of humans, let alone birds and beasts."

If Lord Qiushan doesn't want to take care of him, he can just leave him here.

After saying this, Samui couldn't help but look at Kirabi on the ground, a look of surprise in his eyes.

As Killer Bee's swordsmanship disciple, Samui was well aware of his strength. At this moment, Killer Bee was not only unconscious, but his clothes were also tattered, indicating that he was definitely at a disadvantage in this battle.

Lord Qiushan, standing to the side, remained impeccably dressed, his breathing steady, clearly indicating he hadn't used his full strength.

From these details, Samui was able to judge just how big the gap was between them.

After hearing Samui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan nodded and said:

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Although Uchiha Kakuzan didn't care much about Killer Bee, he didn't want him to lose his life due to his own negligence.

At that moment, Uchiha Kakuzan turned to look at Yugito beside him and asked with a smile:

"Little Yugito, I've accomplished my goal this time. How about we revisit this place and visit the nearby Hidden Cloud Village?"

Hearing Qiu Shanjun's slightly indulgent words, Yugito's pretty face flushed slightly. She naturally understood what Qiu Shanjun meant, and finally nodded, saying:

“Alright, Mr. Qiushan, let’s go for a stroll in Kumogakure together.”

Although Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) can be considered a military stronghold of the Land of Clouds,

However, for Uchiha Kakuzan and his group, the loopholes were like sieves, making it easy for them to wander around inside.

Samui, who was standing nearby, suppressed her faint envy of Yukito after hearing their conversation. She smoothed her short, golden hair and said:

"Since Lord Okayama and Lord Yukito wish to visit Kumogakure, I shall accompany them."

After all, Lord Yukito has been gone from Kumogakure for some time now, and some of the codes and coded messages have changed. It's better if I'm involved.

Samui knew in her heart that she now belonged to Lord Qiushan, and naturally had nothing to miss about Kumogakure.

Upon hearing Samui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan and Yugito exchanged a glance, then nodded in agreement.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan and his group did not use space-time ninjutsu this time. Instead, Uchiha Kakuzan led them directly towards Kumogakure.

After all, the environment around Kumogakure is quite unique, and it would be a good opportunity to explore it. If everything had to be done using space-time ninjutsu, it would be rather boring.

Led by Uchiha Kakuzan, they soon arrived at the entrance to Kumogakure.

However, it would be too arrogant to just fly in like that, so it landed on the ground not far from the Hidden Cloud Village and walked inside.

Under the guidance of Samui, an elite Jonin, Uchiha Okayama and his companion entered Kumogakure with great ease.

The rest of the trip involved wandering around and eating in the Hidden Cloud Village.

During this time, Yugito secretly went to visit his former residence, while Samui simply packed up the things she wanted to take and sealed them in a scroll.

Just as Samui was leading Uchiha, Hachizan, and the others on a tour of Kumogakure and preparing to leave, a very clear voice came from behind them:

"Samui, didn't the Raikage order you to guard Killer Bee over at the Cloud Thunder Gorge? What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing that voice, Samui's heart skipped a beat.

Because she was very familiar with the voice, and knew that the person was also very familiar with her, she was not so easily fooled.

However, just as the person behind him was about to catch up, Samui turned around and looked at the newcomer, saying:

“Mabui, I’ve come back this time with some business to attend to. As for Lord Killer Bee, there are others there helping to protect him.”

At this moment, Uchiha Kakuyama and Yugito also turned around with Samui and looked at the newcomer.

Compared to Samui's snow-white skin, this person has very distinctive features typical of people from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

Although this person has very delicate features and is clearly a beauty, her skin is dark, just like that of other people from the Hidden Cloud Village.

At this moment, Mabuyi was wearing a dark green suit and holding a document in his hand, looking at Samyi and his group with an inquisitive gaze.

Upon hearing Samui's explanation, Mabui frowned slightly, glanced at Uchiha Kakuyama and the other two beside him, and asked:

"Who are these two people? They shouldn't be from Kumogakure, right?"

Fortunately, Uchiha Kakuzan and Yugito had already used the Transformation Jutsu, otherwise Mabui would have recognized Yugito's identity long ago.

Upon hearing Mabuyi's question, Samyi's heart skipped a beat. Unsure whether Mabuyi had any doubts about their identities, she calmly replied:

"These two are wealthy merchants from the capital of the Land of Clouds whom I met on the road. They wanted to come to our Hidden Cloud Village to ask for a mission, so I brought them here."

They've just completed the task, and I'm about to escort them out of the village.

Chapter 510 The Thunder Shadow Arrives a Step Too Late

Anyway, Mabui has no way of knowing whether they have a mission or not. As long as they can leave Kumogakure smoothly today,

Even if Mabui later realized that the commission did not exist, she would still be unable to find them.

Upon hearing Samui's explanation, Mabuyi frowned slightly. Although she felt something was amiss, especially the two people next to Samui, who always gave her a sense of unease.

However, Mabui still trusted Samui. After listening to her explanation, although she still had some doubts, she nodded and said:

"Samui, after you've seen them off, come to the Raikage's office. The Raikage has something urgent to tell you, it's about Lord Killer Bee."

Upon hearing Mabuyi's words, Samyi finally felt relieved, though he still nodded calmly in response:

"Alright, after I see them off, I'll go and report to Lord Raikage."

After hearing Samui's words, Mabuyi nodded, glanced at the two people beside her, and then turned and left.

After watching Mabui leave, Samui didn't waste any more time. Leading Uchiha Kakuyama and the other two, she headed towards the edge of Kumogakure, explaining quietly as they walked:

"The Mabui we just met is Raikage's secretary. She is very capable and can be considered Raikage's right-hand woman."

If she had suspected us just now, she probably would have caused a huge scene before leaving Kumogakure.

Upon hearing Samui's explanation, Uchiha Kakuzan nodded thoughtfully.

He had some impression of this woman in linen clothes; he didn't know much else, but she should be very skilled in a space-time ninjutsu.

With Samui leading the way, they left Kumogakure without any problems during the rest of their journey.

After walking for a while longer, the group stopped in a grove of trees. Samui looked back reluctantly in the direction of Kumogakure before saying to Uchiha Kakuzan:

"Alright, Lord Qiushan, there's no one here anymore. Let's leave."

Samui was unaware that Uchiha Okayama was most skilled in space-time ninjutsu, and thought they would have to fly to leave this place, which is why she brought them here.

Upon hearing Samui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan did not reply. Instead, he turned around and looked in a direction behind him, speaking in a low voice:

"Alright, you've been following us all this way, aren't you going to show yourself?"

If you don't come out soon, we're really leaving.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Samui was startled and quickly looked in the same direction as Uchiha Kakuyama.

However, after Uchiha Kakuzan finished speaking, there was still no response from the other side.

Just as Samui thought Lord Qiushan had misjudged, Yugito beside her suddenly removed her disguise, revealing her true face, and then said:

"Mabuyi, I can already smell your scent, aren't you going to come out?"

As soon as Yukito finished speaking, Mabui walked out from behind a large tree not far in front of them, looking very unwell.

After Mabui came out, she first looked at Yukito, whose true form had been revealed, and then at Samui beside her, and said in a sorrowful tone:

"Lord Yugito, and Samui, I truly never imagined that you would betray Kumogakure. Why is that?"

At this point, Mabui seemed to remember something, and finally turned her gaze to Uchiha Okayama beside her, questioning him:

"Could it be because of this person? Just who is he?"

However, just as Samui showed a look of pity and was about to say something, Uchiha Kakuzan raised his hand to stop Samui from speaking. Instead, he looked with interest at Mabui, who still looked grief-stricken, and suddenly said:

"How much longer do you think it will take for your Raikage to arrive here?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Mabui's expression stiffened for a moment, then she recovered, her brows furrowing slightly as she calmly said:

"I don't understand what you mean?"

Upon hearing Mabui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan took out an ordinary kunai, which, under Mabui's somewhat puzzled gaze,

With a thought from Uchiha Kakuzan, the kunai vanished from his palm and suddenly appeared in front of Mabui.

Mabui had been quite calm, but her expression changed drastically after seeing the kunai demonstrated by Uchiha Okayama.

Seeing that Mabui hadn't spoken yet, Uchiha Kakuzan said with a smile:

"Unfortunately, I am also quite skilled in space-time ninjutsu. Just now, I sensed a spatial fluctuation at your previous hiding place. The size of the spatial fluctuation should be about the same as the one I just used."

So, you must have just used a space-time ninjutsu to send some kind of message to the Raikage, right?

Although Uchiha Kakuzan asked the question, his tone was very confident.

At that moment, Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to sense something, and looked up at the Hidden Cloud Village not far away.

With his perception, he sensed a powerful surge of lightning-attribute chakra pulsating violently in that direction, rapidly approaching him.

"Lightning Release Armor? It seems your Raikage is already on his way here."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Mabui revealed a smile.

In her opinion, the man in front of her was too mysterious. Not only did he control the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and Samui without making a sound, but he was also skilled in space-time ninjutsu. Only the Fourth Raikage could possibly be his opponent.

However, Uchiha Kakuyama had already achieved his goal for this trip, so he had no intention of fighting the Raikage.

Sensing the Raikage approaching at an extremely fast speed, Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head with some regret and said:

"I have one more thing to finish soon, so I'll let you go this time."

As soon as Uchiha Kakuyama finished speaking, Mabui's eyes met a pair of red eyes, which froze her in place before she fainted.

Uchiha Kakuzan glanced at Mabui, who had fallen into a coma, then picked her up and carried her to Samui and Yugito's side.

Seeing the blue lightning bolt hurtling towards them from afar, Uchiha Akiyama smiled and said:

"Goodbye, Raikage."
