Naruto: Wooing Tsunade from Day One!-Chapter 422: Double Lariat

"Five-Tails Jinchūriki?"

The Fourth A stood firm, blocking the rampaging Han within the Kumo forces. After a fierce clash of their techniques, both were pushed back by the recoil.

"Iwagakure, Han."

Although he still maintained his human form, the stark white tail behind Han was impossible to ignore.

As he looked at the two standing before him, a flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes.

"Yo, this bastard is the same as me."

Killer Bee twirled his swords in an intricate dance, his movements flashy and exaggerated. Behind him, a thick tail of chakra flickered into existence.

"I thought you were long dead."

Fourth A sneered, openly mocking Han.

"Hmph, you'll die before me."

Han's gaze darkened, memories of the past surging forward.

The countless days and nights spent suffering at Konoha's hands could never be forgotten.

As the Fourth A had said, if Ōnoki hadn't provided him with the best medical care, he would have died long ago.

Though he was still able to fight, the truth was that his remaining lifespan was short.

"Idiot, bastard, what's there to say about my brother?"

Before the Fourth A could continue his verbal jabs, Killer Bee had already lost his patience, charging straight at Han.

"Supervibrato Lightning Release Swords."

Killer Bee, still wielding his dual blades, infused them with Lightning Release chakra, causing them to glow with an intense, blinding light.

By using high-frequency vibrations triggered by Lightning Release, his swords gained a piercing power even stronger than Wind Release.

Not only that, but any opponent stabbed by them would also be paralyzed.

This was a technique Killer Bee was particularly proud of.

"Stupid boy, don't be reckless."

Despite his harsh words, the Fourth A immediately followed.

With the help of his Lightning Release Armor, he actually overtook Killer Bee, arriving first in a blur of speed.

"Boil Release: Unrivalled Strength."

Han didn't bother dodging.

Instead, he pushed his chakra to its boiling point, enhancing his entire body's power in an instant.

A massive amount of steam burst from his red Tenzō armor, and with a devastating kick, he lashed out at the Fourth A.

Bang!

Their limbs collided—elbow against leg.

Yet, despite his heavy, storm-like assault, the Fourth A was sent flying by the sheer force of Han's kick.

"Lord Han is amazing!!!"

Nearby Iwa ninja who witnessed the battle couldn't help but cheer, even amidst the chaos.

The Fourth A had dominated earlier exchanges, but now he had finally been overwhelmed.

"Bastard, bastard~"

Seeing his older brother get blown away, Killer Bee's rage only fueled his speed.

A crimson layer of Tailed Beast chakra flickered across his body as his power surged.

"Kid, you can go to hell first."

Though Han's mask concealed his expression, his eyes were filled with unfiltered killing intent.

If he could eliminate Kumo's Jinchūriki, it would be a wound that the Raikage wouldn't recover from anytime soon.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

A rapid series of slashes rang out.

Han had underestimated Killer Bee. The young man was already incredibly powerful on his own.

Now, fueled by his Tailed Beast's chakra, his dual blades not only packed devastating force, but their rapid, intricate movements left Han completely trapped.

"Well done."

Fourth A, getting back to his feet, was visibly pleased.

This brat was proving himself.

"Guillotine Drop."

Han barely glanced at the Fourth A before noticing the lightning-charged foot descending toward him from above.

At the same time, Killer Bee continued pressing forward, his Tailed Beast chakra intensifying.

He was determined to hold Han in place, creating the perfect opening for the Fourth A.

"Get out of the way!!!"

Han roared, and his body underwent an immediate transformation.

A tidal wave of Tailed Beast chakra erupted from him, his five crimson tails sweeping Killer Bee aside.

With one powerful leap, he vaulted out of the attack's path.

Boom!

The Fourth A's foot slammed into the ground instead, creating a deep crater several meters wide.

Cracks splintered outward, spiderwebbing across the battlefield.

"Damn it! You're all going to die."

Han panted, white steam hissing from his armor.

His hatred for Konoha burned hotter than ever.

Each time he forcefully drew upon the Five-Tails' chakra, he was burning away his own life.

"Are you okay?"

The Fourth A didn't turn around, his gaze locked onto Han, no longer carrying the casual arrogance he had before.

"Bastard, I'm fine."

Killer Bee landed beside him, standing tall.

The wounds on his body were already beginning to heal, the process visible to the naked eye.

"Roar~"

Han's body was now fully wreathed in white steam.

A deep, inhuman sound rumbled from his throat as he lunged forward at breakneck speed.

In an instant, the crimson figure closed the gap.

Fourth A and Killer Bee instinctively moved to dodge—but in the next second, they hesitated.

Behind them stood hundreds of Kumo ninja.

If they let Han pass, most of them wouldn't survive.

They had no choice.

"This is what you've brought upon yourselves."

Han, his transformed face barely recognizable, twisted into a satisfied grin.

This was exactly what he had planned.

"Ahhh~"

Killer Bee had no choice but to draw more power from the Eight-Tails.

Though he had yet to master it, there was no other option.

With a roar, his body expanded, more Tailed Beast chakra flooding out.

In the blink of an eye, a monstrous humanoid form with two horns and eight writhing tails stood before the battlefield.

"Lightning Oppression Horizontal."

The Fourth A's hair stood on end as he pushed his Lightning Release Armor to its very limit.

Electricity surged violently across his body, forming a blade-like hand—a technique of his own creation. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Although he had never mastered his father's Hell Stab, this technique had once severed the Eight-Tails' horn.

Boom!

A deafening collision echoed across the battlefield.

An invisible shockwave of chakra erupted outward.

Weaker ninjas on both sides were flung back instantly, unable to withstand the sheer force of the clash.

For those caught in the aftermath, survival was uncertain.

At the center of the chaos—

Killer Bee's eight tails clashed with Han's boiling chakra, but the age gap between them was evident.

The Fourth A coughed, blood dripping from his mouth.

Without the Third Raikage's unbreakable defense or the Tailed Beast's self-healing ability, injuries were inevitable.

His hand blade had cut deep into Han's shoulder, but it had drained every ounce of strength he had left.

Just as the three of them reached a deadlock, Dodai arrived after eliminating the surrounding Iwa ninja.

"Lava Release: Rubber Ball."

With swift hand seals, a massive amount of rubber shot from Dodai's mouth, binding Han tightly.

Only then did the Fourth A and Killer Bee break free.

"Hurry, I can't hold on much longer!"

Dodai strained to maintain his jutsu's binding force, but Han was going berserk.

The crimson chakra continued to grow denser, surging violently.

Pain-filled wails spread across the battlefield.

The Fourth A and Killer Bee exchanged glances.

They both understood.

There was no choice left.

"Use that move."

Both brothers flickered behind Han.

"Double Lariat."

The synchronized movement was seamless.

Fourth A's powerful arms braced, pouring nearly all his chakra into the technique.

Killer Bee, still in Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, allowed hardened bones to sprout from his elbows—his target was clear.

Pop!

In a single decisive strike, Han's head shot into the sky.

The Five-Tails' Jinchūriki, Han, was dead.

And with him, Kokuō, the Five-Tails, perished as well.
