Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Below the sea of clouds, a bright blue lightning bolt was rapidly approaching.

"Pain!!!" Yondaime Raikage roared as he charged toward the mountaintop, completely ignoring Hyōketsu and his group.

"I wonder how Yondaime Raikage's Chakra tastes." Kisame said with a smile. He planted Samehada in the ground and then launched a massive water projectile that hit the rapidly moving lightning bolt.

"Bastard!!!" Yondaime Raikage looked down angrily, then spotted Kisame and the others as well as… the corpses of Kumogakure's Shinobi scattered everywhere. His furious expression froze for a moment, then the Lightning Release Armor on Yondaime Raikage's body exploded!

"Die!!!"

The sight of hundreds of dead Kumogakure's Shinobi had pushed Yondaime Raikage to the brink!

With a flash of lightning, Yondaime Raikage tore through the air, appearing beside Kakuzu in an instant, his claw was already piercing Kakuzu's chest and crushing his heart, causing his chest to explode.

Bang!

Lightning flickered again, and Yondaime Raikage suddenly appeared behind Hyōketsu and chopped him in the waist.

"Eh?" Yondaime Raikage frowned, as he saw Hyōketsu, whom he had cut in half, suddenly dissipate into smoke.

'Shadow clone?'

A trace of doubt flashed in Yondaime Raikage's mind, but his movement didn't stop. With another flash of lightning, he appeared in front of Hidan, decapitating him with a single strike.

Finally, he appeared behind Kisame and threw a punch.

Boom!

Kisame picked up Samehada with his backhand and blocked Yondaime Raikage's punch.

"Swallow, Samehada!" Kisame sneered.

The purple spines on the Samehada quivered like gills, seeming to respond to his words, and cheering for the Chakra it could absorb from Yondaime Raikage.

"What?" Yondaime Raikage felt his chakra being drained rapidly into Samehada, and his face changed. At this moment, even his Lightning Release Armor became somewhat weakened.

At the same time.

From the corner of his eyes, Yondaime Raikage saw Hidan's decapitated body was stumbling toward his head on the ground.

And Kakuzu, whose heart he had crushed, shook his head and moving his neck as if nothing had happened, continuing to control his masked monsters to fight the surrounding Kumogakure's Shinobi.

Yondaime Raikage was in disbelief, 'What is going on with these guys?!'

Angry and shocked, almost half of the Chakra inside Yondaime Raikage's body has been swallowed by Samehada.

"Get off me!"

Yondaime Raikage roared and kicked Kisame, but Samehada was still clinging to his fist like a leech.

"What the hell is this thing!" Yondaime Raikage kicked Samehada away, and then rushed towards Hidan again.

"Lightning Release: Elbow!"

Boom!

Yondaime Raikage struck Hidan's chest with a lightning elbow, crushing his ribs, muscles, and internal organs into mush, and then kicked his legs apart!

Then, he turned into a flash of lightning and appeared behind Kakuzu again, effortlessly splitting him in two with his lightning-covered hands!

However, Kakuzu's split body didn't bleed, instead, countless black threads wove and danced wildly, reuniting Kakuzu in half a second.

However, one of the masked monsters near him exploded with a bang.

'Two masks destroyed in an instant…' Kakuzu was scared to death and decided to flee, but Yondaime Raikage seemed fixated on him. With a flash of lightning, he appeared behind him again, kicking him in half!

"Stop standing around and help!" The kicked Kakuzu flusteredly called for Kisame and Hidan, and used Earth Grudge Fear to reassemble his body.

"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!" Kisame responded quickly, and without saying anything further, he unleashed a terrifying torrent of water.

The water surged like waves, expanding and forming a massive oval-shaped water prison, engulfing Yondaime Raikage, the broken Hidan, Kakuzu, and himself!

"The hunt begins!" Kisame grinned and merged with Samehada, transforming into a shark-like being.

However, despite being trapped in the water prison, Yondaime Raikage still moved as fast as lightning.

Bang!

The violent blue lightning broke through the water, then Yondaime Raikage once again appeared in front of Kakuzu, "Lightning Release: Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"

Bang!!

Water splashed, lightning spread, and Kakuzu's mask was cleanly and neatly shattered by Yondaime Raikage again.

In just a few seconds, Kakuzu's four masks and four hearts were all shredded by Yondaime Raikage!

In other words, at this moment, Kakuzu only has one heart and one life left!

'If I died again, it would be over!'

Desperate, Kakuzu swam frantically towards the shark-like Kisame.

But…

Bang!

With a flash of lightning, the surrounding water broke open, and countless blue snakes of lightning pierced Kakuzu!

"I'm…dead?!"

'How is it possible?!'

'I am a being who even the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, can't kill. How could I die in the hands of a trifling Yondaime Raikage…' As the thought formed, Kakuzu's consciousness faded into darkness.

'Finally dead!'

Yondaime Raikage saw the scattered Earth Grudge Fear and felt a sense of satisfaction. Then, he noticed the changing water around him and saw the approaching shark-man Kisame.

Yondaime Raikage quickly retreated. Having experienced Samehada's terrifying power, he doesn't dare to let it get close again!

'By the way, what about that guy I beheaded, crushed, and split in half?'

Yondaime Raikage glanced around and saw two legs dragging the broken body towards the edge of the water prison, while Hidan's head sank to the bottom, covered by sand and mud.

'He's still not dead?'

Yondaime Raikage couldn't believe it. With a flash of lightning, he rushed to the left leg, pummeling it into mush, then sped away from the pursuing shark-man, and smashed the right leg into pulp before breaking out of the water prison and soaring into the sky!

"Everyone, stay away from that guy!" Yondaime Raikage commanded the Kumogakure's Shinobi below while rushing toward the top of the mountain.

"This is why I hate Taijutsu-type Shinobi the most." Kisame floated in the center of the water prison, looking at the disappearing Yondaime Raikage with regret in his eyes.

Immediately after, a series of bubbles suddenly floated up from below him. Kisame looked down to see a head hidden in the sand, glaring with eyes and bubbling from its mouth.

Kisame couldn't understand what's it saying.

...

Meanwhile.

On the peak of a mountain outside Kumogakure, Nagato and Konan stood amidst the mist, looking like immortal couples, detached from the world.

"Finally, it has come to this." Konan suddenly sighed, then raised his hand, scattering countless Explosive Tags.

"Is this how you greet an old friend?" A figure slowly ascended the mountainside. It was Kanpū.

Kanpū originally planned to enter Kumogakure to watch the show. Unfortunately, not long after entering, one of his shadow clones sensed Nagato and Konan's Chakra. He didn't dare to delay, so he immediately teleported over with Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Gekko Kanpū, stop!" Konan's cold voice commanded, and the countless Explosive Tags that were sprayed in the wind spun wildly like shuriken!
