Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　The Third Raikage shook his head, clearly not believing that a war would break out in the near future.

　"The seal on the Eight-Tails has been weakening over the past two years, so I have to be constantly on guard against it going berserk. That's why our Cloud Ninja didn't participate in the Second Shinobi World War."

　However, I believe that we will definitely become the dominant force in the ninja world in the future.

　After all, I'm very strong.

　The Third Raikage said confidently.

　"Yes, with Father here, the ninjas of Konoha are nothing to worry about."

　Um... I've heard that Konoha Rasetsu is very strong. I wonder if she can withstand one of my iron fists.

　Recently, some people have suspected that he may have secretly infiltrated our Hidden Cloud Village. Father, you must be careful of his sneak attacks. The people of Konoha are the most despicable and shameless.

　Ai said, sounding very confident.

　"Bring on any sneak attacks you want, I'm not afraid!"

　The Third Raikage stood up, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said gruffly, "If he dares to come, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive! Don't compare me to the Third Kazekage! And Onoki, a mere chicken and dog! He's not worthy to be my enemy!"

　"Of course!"

　Ai praised her father for his great strength.

　Clearly, arrogance, haughtiness, and irritability are indeed characteristics of the Raikage lineage.

　The Third Raikage was like that, and so was the Fourth Raikage! Their minds were filled with nothing but muscles, and all they cared about was fighting. They were truly brainless! Otherwise, the Third Raikage wouldn't have resorted to a human body to fight the fully-formed Eight-Tails hand-to-hand. Anyone with a brain would have sought to avoid danger.

　The father and son were discussing the situation when the Cloud Ninja's ANBU (Anbu) entered to report on the village's situation.

　The news of Killer Bee's encounter with Yoruichi reached the ears of the Third Raikage and his son, though they were unaware that the man was Yoruichi.

Chapter 373 The Secret of Cloud Ninja's Lightning Release

　This content was first published here (second update).

　Cloud Village, Evening

　Killer Bee wandered the streets alone, searching for his fan.

　He is a very persistent person, especially when it comes to music, where his attitude is unwavering.

　Ye Chen was the only one who understood his music; Killer Bee didn't feel any discrimination, contempt, or disdain from him.

　He has a natural talent for judging people; he's absolutely certain he'll do that.

　The streets of Kumogakure were nearly deserted by now; most people had gone home, and the shops had closed early.

　Compared to the prosperity of Konoha, the material culture of other ninja villages was extremely low, and even their spiritual culture was lacking, with virtually no entertainment activities.

　*Thump!* Killer Bee, who was walking and writing lyrics, seemed to bump his head on something. He took a step back, looked up blankly, and exclaimed in surprise, "Big Brother!"

　The older brother he was referring to was none other than the Fourth Raikage, A! "By, why aren't you home this late!"

　The Fourth Raikage asked in a deep voice, his gaze piercing and his aura menacing, while incidentally cracking open the top of his head.

　Killer Bee clutched his head, wincing in pain, and cried out, "Big brother, bastard, bastard!"

　"Bi, you are my younger brother, the future Jinchūriki."

　"I must be responsible for your safety."

　The Fourth Raikage said

　"But I prefer music to fighting."

　I want to hold a big concert, but you all don't understand me.

　Killer Bee spoke in a rare, normal tone.

　"Don't be naive. This is a ninja world. What use is music? Can you use music to influence the enemy on the battlefield? Besides, you're too young to understand the cruelty of this world."

　The Fourth Raikage spoke earnestly, explaining that he truly loved this younger brother, even though they were not related by blood.

　Not only that, Killer Bee, despite his young age, possesses exceptional ninja talent and, to some extent, a terrifying battle intuition.

　If this ability is cultivated to its full potential, the Cloud Ninja will surely gain another powerful ninja who will dominate the ninja world in the future.

　Killer Bee didn't take it seriously, and simply said, "Big Brother..."

　You wouldn't believe it, but today I met a very strange ninja.

　That's not important. The most important thing is that he was able to understand my brother and didn't mock me.

　Wow, what a wonderful day!

　The Fourth Raikage was puzzled after hearing this; were there really any Cloud Ninja who could tolerate something more than music?

　"His name is Ye Chen! Big brother, if you run into him, you must tell me."

　After saying that, Killer Bee turned to leave.

　"Ye Chen sounds familiar!"

　"Oh Cao

　"Isn't that the Leaf Village Rakshasa?"

　"They've really come to Kumogakure!"

　The Fourth Raikage immediately realized what was happening, and seeing Killer Bee walking forward, he rushed over and lifted his younger brother up like a chick, shouting, "Where is that guy now?"

　Killer Bee looked completely bewildered and muttered, "Who the hell is that?!"

　"Ye Chen!"

　The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth. This Konoha Rascal really doesn't take their village seriously! He's just showing up like that! "Let's go!"

　Kirabi said blankly, "My older brother is really terrifying."

　"He is the Leaf Village Rakshasa!"

　"You didn't even react at all!"

　The Fourth Raikage was angry, but still let go of Killer Bee.

　You can't really blame Killer Bee; he's actually quite an idiot.

　I'd rather fish in troubled waters than get a chicken dinner while lying down! "Konoha Rashad!"

　"Oh my god, it was him!"

　"No wonder his name sounded familiar!"

　"Wait, could this be people with shared interests across national borders? That's amazing, so incredible!"

　Killer Bee looked excited, completely ignoring his older brother beside him whose face was growing increasingly dark.

　The Fourth Raikage's face was grim, his eyes flashing.

　Konoha Rashad rose to prominence during the Second Shinobi World War, becoming famous throughout the entire shinobi world.

　Without a doubt, the young Fourth Raikage was extremely jealous.

　He felt that Konoha Rakshasa didn't deserve the title! Only true powerhouses could possess such a title! And look at the Third Kazekage, hailed as the strongest, he was actually just a ranged mage; one punch in close combat was all it took.

　As for Onoki, he was just a six-month-old man, and his Dust Release technique was terrible.

　The Fourth Raikage was confident he could defeat those two! "Konoha Rasetsu, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving. Just wait to be defeated!"

　The Fourth Raikage said fiercely.

　Yoruichi deliberately revealed Killer Bee's real name.

　He has already investigated the situation in Kumogakure quite thoroughly.

　The Lightning Release technique was not found, but there was some information about the Eight-Tails' stamina.

　The current Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is training at Cloud Thunder Gorge. Cloud Thunder Gorge isn't in Cloud Village, but it's very close by, and few people usually go there.

　At this time, Ye Chen had already left the Hidden Cloud Village and headed to the Thunder Cloud Gorge to extract a portion of the Eight-Tails' power.

　Of course, there's no rush. My time spent lurking in the Hidden Cloud Village hasn't been wasted.

　He observed several Cloud Ninja practicing Lightning Release ninjutsu and seemed to have discovered the secret of the Cloud Ninja's Lightning Release ninjutsu.

　Furthermore, his cultivation method was completely different from his own, being far more violent.

　He didn't cultivate in a room at all, but rather on a mountaintop surrounded by clouds and mist.

　Because during cultivation, a great deal of noise is generated, with thunder rumbling.

　Moreover, only in environments shrouded in clouds and mist can lightning erupt further, sometimes even causing a sky full of lightning bolts to fall! This reminded Ye Chen of the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering techniques in cultivation novels from his previous life! No wonder Lei Ying's physique was abnormal; tempering oneself with natural lightning was indeed extremely powerful.

　The Hatake clan is proficient in Lightning Release, but their mastery of it is limited to cultivating their own Lightning Release chakra.

　Using natural lightning for cultivation is something I would never imagine, nor dare to do.

　Who in their right mind would use lightning for cultivation? That would be like an old man committing suicide, tired of living! That's why the Hatake sword technique, combining lightning release and swordsmanship, exists! Through continuous observation, it turns out that the Cloud Ninja's lightning release body-forging secret technique isn't actually as complicated as Ye Chen thought.

　On the contrary, it's quite simple, at least in appearance! In reality, the Lightning Release Body Tempering Technique is an extension of the Hatake-ryu Lightning Release.
