Chapter 241: Kumogakure’s A-B Combo

With an ear-piercing sound, a huge explosion took place in the sky!

Homusubi did not have enough time to react, just as the skeletal body of the Susanoo armor covered over him, the Bijuudama that was coming towards him at an incredibly fast speed collided with the Susanoo causing a massive explosion, it not only produced a huge rumbling sound there was also terrible air pressure that knocked him and Fujin away.

Huala… Huala… Whoosh…

During the fall, Homusubi still had Tinnitus and could barely hear the screaming wind in the ear.

At this moment he was both dizzy and, in a stupor, and lost control over his body as if his nervous system was a bit unresponsive, being unable to even control his thought process, Homusubi wasn't able to confirm what happened to the Kazekage puppet who was disguised as Fujin.

Slowly and steadily, he was able to get some air in his lungs and finally regain his thought process, after taking in a few deep breaths during the continued fall, Homusubi managed to get rid of the dizziness, although his ears were still buzzing, he started to hear some of the things around him and trust me it's really not of the best experience to fall be falling from such a high altitude.

Gulping down the surging blood down his throat, Homusubi tried to adjust his falling posture, if he was going to be injured then it was better to be injured in a way that would at least not affect his mobility.

After some twists here and turns there, he was finally able to adjust his falling posture, soon his eyes widened as he spotted Fujin that was not far away from him and was similarly falling down to the ground.

Now there was some hope to be able to land safely but the problem is that most of the Iron Sand around the puppet that is used to fend off against the incoming Bijuudama was blown away by the explosion caused by it, as a result, the puppet's control over the blown away iron sand was lost, so, at this time, only a small amount of iron sand was left around.

"Perfect… just perfect!" – Homusubi cursed in annoyance and unstoppable anger started taking over him, but I guess there is no use in complaining, the fact that the Kazekage puppet managed to help in bear a Bijuudama alone is worth the praise, having too many expectations is only going to lead to disappointments.

Taking ad deep breath Homusubi calmed his emotions and thought, 'What was that just now, I rarely lose control over my emotions, so how could I have gotten angry? Is it possible that the Sharingan is affecting my emotions?'

After just a momentary thought, Homusubi put it at the back of his mind to consider it again in the future, currently, he did not have enough time to be entangled with this issue.

Closing his eyes, Homusubi focused on sensing his connection with the puppet and was soon able to reestablish the telepathic link between the two and confirmed that there were no serious damages on the puppet as the explosion was majorly tanked by the Yaoyorozu hardened Susano'o.

The only problem was temporary chakra system disordering making the puppet non-responsive for a short while but now that the telepathic link was reestablished the puppet was working to stabilize as soon as it can and will shortly be back to a functioning state.

After confirming that the puppet will soon recover, Homusubi who was midway down the fall looked in the direction that the Bijuudama came from.

The attack was all too sudden and with how fast a Bijuudama travels, Homusubi was unable to notice the exact direction it was fired from, fortunately, he was able to use Yaoyorozu hardened Susanoo to shield against most of the damage, causing both him and the puppet to only suffer some extent of damage and violent shock, otherwise, if both of them were directly hit by Bijuudama, then let alone an arm or leg, not even bones would have been left by the time dust of the explosion would have cleared away.

While he was searching for the exact direction that the Bijuudama came from, Homusubi's expression turned into a solemn one, this is because he was able to notice a row of dust clouds that was continuously rising and was moving in the same direction that he was falling in. Aside from that, there was also a faint sound of lightning flickering and someone running towards this side while plowing the ground.

Seeing that faint glow of lightning amidst the dust and smoke, Homusubi's expression condensed, "That has to be Yondaime Raikage!"

No one other than Yondaime Raikage can have such violent Lightning Chakra Nature, at this point in the timeline, therefore, Homusubi did not need to think about it too deeply, as only Yondaime Raikage who bears the title of the current fastest Shinobi can have Lightning Chakra that could even rival that of a Bijuu!

As soon as he realized this, he can't help but feel a bit depressed, if only he was in his main body right now, not only would he have sensed the incoming Bijuudama before it was even fired but would have also absorbed it pretty easily. And he could have also thrashed the Yondaime Raikage who would have lost his title as the fastest shinobi alive.

Alas, that's just wishful thinking, the Mangekyou Sharingan might also grant high-level insight and all but it does not give you three-sixty-degree vision, unlike the Byakugan and the Tenseigan.

While Homusubi was mulling over this, the Kazekage puppet regained complete control over its body as such he was able to use Magnet Release, controlled the remaining Iron Sand to form a smaller pair of Iron Sand wings, and immediately flew towards Homusubi, caught him mid-flight and controlled the falling speed such that the two of them somehow managed to offset most of the impact and safely landed on the ground.

As soon as he landed, Homusubi noticed the tremors on the ground coming closer and closer as such he understood that Yondaime Raikage would soon arrive, so regardless of the burden that this clone body would bear, he again urged his Chakra and used Susanoo to defend against the incoming attack.

In an instant, the Mangekyou wheel spinning in his eyes shed bloody tears, and the golden-orange chakra phantom emerged with a roar.

From bones to musculature, then the golden flame armor and the two swords on the two hands appeared, while the other two hands were kept free and in just a few breaths the half-body Susanoo was ready for the warfare!

Thump… Thump…

'He is here!' – Just as Homusubi thought this, suddenly something flew out of the smoke cover with a whistling sound that carried buzzing of lightning along with it and directly pounced on the Golden Chakra Phantom.

Whoosh… Zzzz…

At the moment that something appeared out of the cover of smoke, Homusubi was able to easily notice that it was just an ordinarily massive boulder, therefore, instead of taking any rash action, he controlled Susanoo to shatter that giant boulder to pieces with a…

UNITED STATE OF SMMmmmmmaaaashhHHHH...…

BOOOoooomM…

The giant boulder, which was thrown by Raikage as a feint was shattered to hundreds of pieces with just one punch.

The splattered gravel and rock chips flew everywhere like tiny raindrops, while Homusubi also blinked subconsciously.

Whoosh…

And just as he opened his eyelids past the blink, another shadow jumped out of the cover of smoke, but the difference this time was that this shadow had a blue aura around it, to be more specific, this shadow was clad in a blue Lightning Chakra Armor.

"Raikage!" – as soon as Homusubi's words fell, the Yondaime Raikage who was already clad in the violent Lightning Chakra Armor jumped out of the smoke cover and pounced on the Susanoo with all his might, overturned it in the process.

The overturned Susanoo knocked down several trees on the way, Homusubi who was finally able to stabilize his figure spoke in wonder, "Was Yondaime Raikage always so fast and strong!?"

Although he knows that Yondaime Raikage is incredibly fast while using the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he was still very surprised when actually facing the real deal.

Thinking of Raikage's incredible speed, he can't help but wonder, 'Will Shisui be able to reach such speed? And if he will, by when?'

While Homusubi was thinking that another person appeared on the battlefield.

Looking at the shinobi who was wearing oval-shaped sunglasses and carrying seven swords on his back, Homusubi instantly realized who this person is, and his face sank because it is none other than Killer Bee, the Jinchuriki of Hachibi!

'Kumogakure's A-B combo!?' – Homusubi muttered in surprise.

After turning over the Susanoo, Raikage landed on top of a tree and shouted at Homusubi, "You two are the members of this so-called Amatsukami? Come on! It's time for you to pay the debt you owed to Kumogakure for killing Watanabe!"

Although A-B Combo was standing in front of him, Homusubi was not panicked and replied calmly, "Although I am a little surprised that Yondaime Raikage would personally come here, and it's hilarious that the so-called great shinobi villages have fallen so low that they are colluding together to deal with a mere mercenary organization, but regardless of all that, whether you can make me pay the debt I owe to your village or not depends on whether you have the ability or not."

"You Bastard!" – the already fuming Raikage was further angered by Homusubi's words, "You think that just because you have gained the Mangekyou Sharingan you will be able to escape? Today is the day that I will extract out all of the debts you of Amatsukami has ever owed in your whole life!"

Finishing the sentence, he suddenly disappeared and the next instant flashed directly next to Homusubi.

But this time, Homusubi was prepared, he has already activated Yaoyorozu and strengthened this clone body and Susano'o, coupled with the Mangekyou Sharingan, even if Raikage's movements were extremely fast, they didn't go unnoticed by him, just based on the trajectory he was taking, Homusubi was able to judge the direction he would be taking and controlled the Susanoo to wave a chakra sword!

Slash…!

The chakra sword swept across the ground, evenly cutting off everything in its path!

However, just at the moment, it was about to chop the Raikage in half, several octopus' legs came out of Killer Bee; clutched the Susanoo's arm that was waving the sword!
