Chapter 52: Tricking the Trickster

'Lightning Release: Lariat!'

'Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!'

The blue figure and Uchiha Kage, whose fingertips were emitting soft fist chakra, collided with each other.

"Now, Bee!", Without any extra reminder, Ay already saw Killer Bee's figure appearing behind the Uchiha boy.

"Damn it, cheating!", Unable to avoid it, Uchiha Kage, who couldn't activate intangibility in time during the attack, was stabbed by Killer Bee, who appeared almost instantly behind him, with six bee-sting short blades.

"Sorry, but this is the cruelty of the battlefield."

Because he "defeated" the opponent by sneak attack, Killer Bee wasn't happy at all.

But then, his expression changed dramatically.

POOF!

The Uchiha boy in front of him actually turned into a puff of white smoke.

"Shadow Clone? When?"

At the same time, Ay, who had taken a solid hit from Uchiha Kage in order to make him reveal a flaw, also showed a surprised expression.

Feeling his body's meridians being eroded, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

Although he only took one move, the flow of chakra in his body was actually interrupted.

'Even the Lightning Release Armor can't be maintained, this kid…'

'He's an Uchiha, how did he learn the Hyuga clan's soft fist?'

'And why did Bee stop moving after appearing behind the opponent?'

Yes, from Ay's perspective, Uchiha Kage didn't turn into a shadow clone and disappear, but kept using more soft fist attacks on him.

"You…"

Ay tried hard to use the Lightning Release Armor again, but the boy in front of him seemed to have grown countless hands.

The finger and fist attacks came at him like a storm, targeting the flaws in his body.

Soft Fist Technique, Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms… One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms.

Almost instantly, Uchiha Kage completed sealing all the acupoints around the Raikage's body, and he sealed them four times.

"Now, you can't escape!"

'Genjutsu: Mangekyo Sharingan!'

After sealing all the acupoints around Ay's body, Uchiha Kage completely eroded his brain with genjutsu.

However, just as he completed this step, Killer Bee behind him finally woke up, and the bee-sting blade with lightning almost instantly appeared behind him..

———

["Wake up, Bee, you're under his genjutsu!"], Just as Killer Bee thought he had stabbed Uchiha Kage's shadow clone, the Eight-Tails Gyuki inside him suddenly reminded him.

["That's not a shadow clone he used, but an illusion you saw in the genjutsu."]

"What?"

Only then did Killer Bee suddenly wake up.

["That Uchiha boy activated the genjutsu the second you made eye contact."]

"Then why did you only…", After opening his eyes, Killer Bee saw his brother being frantically attacked by the opponent, and it seemed like he was about to lose.

["Sorry, his genjutsu was too real, even I fell for it."], Gyuki was also a bit embarrassed.

["He's definitely a genius in genjutsu, this kind of illusion combining reality and fantasy is too hard to detect, we need to be more careful later."]

"Brother!"

Although he was rushing to rescue his brother as fast as he could, Killer Bee was still a step too late.

The six short blades with sharp currents on his body stopped in place as if time had paused.

Because the boy in front had turned around and used his brother's body as a shield.

"Let go of my brother!", Seeing that his brother's eyes were completely controlled by the Sharingan, Killer Bee shouted anxiously.

He really wanted to save his brother Ay by attacking, but unfortunately, Uchiha Kage had completely used his brother's body as a talisman.

He even pressed a kunai against Ay, who now had no ability to resist.

"To deal with despicable people, you have to use despicable tactics,"

Holding Ay in front of him, Uchiha Kage unceremoniously used him as a shield while pressing the kunai hard against his neck.

"You're the despicable one, you knew my brother wouldn't really fight you one-on-one, so you pretended to fall for it and ambushed us, right?", Killer Bee didn't expect that in just a few seconds, the opponent had completely subdued his brother.

'Is there such a genius boy hidden in the Uchiha clan?'

But recalling the battle just now, he quickly realized that the opponent did it on purpose.

"If you hadn't thought of ambushing me, how could I have fallen for it?"

Yes, Uchiha Kage knew Ay wouldn't be honest, so he threw out the bait of a one-on-one fight without using intangibility.

Then he turned the tables on the AB brothers, "By the way, I heard the Third Raikage died, now only he can be the next Raikage in your village, if I kill him now, what do you think… will happen?"

Without the protection of the Lightning Release Armor, Uchiha Kage just applied a little force, and Ay's fragile neck was soon cut by the sharp kunai, bleeding.

"You, don't do anything rash!", With his brother captured, Killer Bee was also at a loss.

The Kumogakure ninjas who were still fighting Uchiha Mikoto not far away also lost their composure and rushed over, surrounding Uchiha Kage in the middle.

"Let go of Lord Ay!"

"You don't want this future Raikage to die like this, do you?"

After capturing Ay, Uchiha Kage knew he was now in an invincible position.

This dungeon won't need any more deaths.

"What do you want? As long as you let my brother go, I… will agree to anything."

Yes, in Kumogakure now, besides his brother, no one else is qualified to be the next Raikage.

Not even him.

Killer Bee knew the village's current situation couldn't accept his brother's death no matter what.

And once his brother died, the Iwagakure army they had just repelled might come back, and then…

Everything would be over.

"Alright."

Uchiha Kage saw Uchiha Mikoto taking advantage of the chaos to retrieve the child, and his previously tense body relaxed a bit.

'This Sasuke's mother is somewhat useful.'

"First, cut off one of your hands with a knife, then I'll consider letting your brother go."

'Now, just think about how to leave here.'

Although more and more Kumogakure ninjas were surrounding them, Uchiha Kage still cared most about the strongest Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee.

Cutting off one hand should temporarily weaken his strength a lot.

"I…"

Killer Bee looked at the kunai on his brother's neck, then at his own arm.

"Fine!"

Finally, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a long knife from a nearby ninja.

"Don't try any tricks, in front of my Mangekyo Sharingan, all your actions are transparent," Uchiha Kage knew the opponent could use the Eight-Tails' tails to create very realistic clones.

THUD!

Killer Bee, for his brother's safety, of course wouldn't play any tricks.

His arm, dripping with blood, was forcefully cut off and fell to the ground.

"Good, now tell your subordinates to leave!"

"Alright…"

Killer Bee, while enduring the pain to stop the bleeding, drove away the other ninjas.

Although these ninjas were somewhat unwilling, looking at Ay completely controlled by Uchiha Kage, they could only grit their teeth and retreat.

"Let's go, Mikoto."

Uchiha Kage continued to hold Ay hostage, planning to distance themselves from the Kumogakure crowd first.

"Kage, and Naruto and Sasuke…"

Uchiha Mikoto, holding the child in her arms, gently tugged at Uchiha Kage's sleeve.

He actually won, not only saving her sister's child but also kidnapping Kumogakure's future Raikage.

'Too, too amazing, this boy named Kage…', Recalling Uchiha Kage's heroic performance just now, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but feel her heart racing, even her legs subconsciously tightened a bit.

But luckily, Naruto and Sasuke, still unconscious on the ground, distracted her from her chaotic and excited thoughts.

"They…", Uchiha Kage originally wanted to say not to worry about them, they wouldn't die anyway, but after thinking about it, he decided to bring them along.

So, he casually used the Sharingan to control a passing ordinary Kumogakure ninja to act as a laborer and carry Naruto and Sasuke on his back.

"Let's go, after another kilometer, I'll let your brother go."

Uchiha Kage stopped Killer Bee, who was about to follow them, and then took Uchiha Mikoto and the others further away.

"You, you must not harm my brother! Otherwise, even if I have to die, I'll stop you!"

Although he lost an arm, besides temporarily not being able to use ninjutsu, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Killer Bee, although he didn't follow, used his full tailed beast form's huge size to intimidate the opponent.

"One kilometer… at this distance, my Tailed Beast Bomb can still reach you, don't try any tricks!"

———

"Hurry, let's get out of here."

After reaching a place where Killer Bee couldn't catch up in a short time, Uchiha Kage quickly threw the hostage, Ay's body, into the rushing river, and then ran towards the distant mountains with Uchiha Mikoto, carrying Naruto and Sasuge.

"Damn it, such a vile Uchiha!"

Seeing his unconscious brother being swept away and gradually sinking in the rushing river, Killer Bee, who had caught up, could only give up on chasing Uchiha Kage and the others, and first rushed into the river to save his brother.

.

.

.

Having run far away, and confirming with the Byakugan that there were no other figures around, Uchiha Kage finally completely relaxed his body, which couldn't hold on any longer.

Thud!
