115 Naruto Mobile Game

"Battle start!"

The information conference finally brought back its long-missed practical combat segment, mainly because Kuroda wanted to see how this pair of brothers would fare against each other.

When the Raikage and Killer Bee were choosing their ninjas, each of them had their own little schemes in mind.

After all, these were each of their very first ninjas in Ninja Mobile Game. If the live combat demonstration turned out badly, the scene would be hard to watch.

Killer Bee directly put his main pick in the first slot. The goal was obvious: to run a three-through on his brother.

The Raikage, on the other hand, placed his own main pick in the final third slot. His purpose was just as clear—he was aiming for a comeback from two down to three up.

They didn't communicate at all while choosing ninjas, yet the final lineup ended up perfectly suited for the information conference's live combat segment.

In this regard, they might not have come from the same mother, but they were probably not far off.

The Raikage's first slot was [Mysterious Masked Man]

The reason for choosing this ninja was simple: his overall strength is high enough.

But the battle that followed made one thing clear—your grab is completely useless in front of my super armor.

"Come on, are you seriously planning to grab me with that? You've got to be joking, right?"

While mocking the Raikage to his face, Killer Bee's hands didn't slow down at all. He walked and immediately activated Tailed Beast Transformation.

The Raikage's mouth twitched, but there was nothing he could do.

Grab works by tapping a normal attack after the first skill's fire-breath. He rushes forward and pulls the enemy into a different space.

But by the time you finish breathing fire and dash forward, the other guy is already spinning in place.

The Tailed Beast Transformation process is invincible!

And it deals damage!

Of course, the skill's startup can interrupt the transformation, but that's not easy to pull off.

What's left is the third normal attack grab-and-suction… If you can land that on a Tailed Beast Transformation, then sure, I'll admit you're amazing, alright!

"Hey! Where did my invincibility frames go?"

"Brother's invincibility is short! Mine is long! Invincibility frames, invincible seconds!"

The ninja world audience watching was left with their scalps tingling.

"If it's super armor, would bringing Dispel counter it? No, wait, Dispel seems useless too."

Tobi frowned deeply, lost in thought.

He hadn't gone to the Akatsuki gathering—reasons understood by all. Unless absolutely necessary, he was basically living in Kamui space at this point.

Thankfully, the light screen was very considerate. Even within time-space, it didn't affect signal reception.

But as he kept watching the information conference, Tobi started to feel something was off. He knew Killer Bee well enough, but wasn't [Killer Bee] as a ninja a bit too overpowered?

This ninja had been getting beaten nonstop! Even if the Raikage's skill level was lacking, the one losing face in front of the entire ninja world was him.

Just from the live demonstration, there was absolutely no way to fight back. Even if you brought Dispel, what if the opponent brought super armor?

One skill for Tailed Beast Transformation, one Secret Scrolls forbidden technique Yin Heal Destruction—how does one Dispel deal with two super armors?

So it seemed that non-grab ninjas had absolutely no chance against [Killer Bee].

Even [Uchiha Itachi] would probably do better against [Killer Bee] than [Mysterious Masked Man], right?

Of course, that was talking about the current version. In the previous version, there were very few who could even fight [Uchiha Itachi].

And the second round that followed proved exactly that.

[Senju Tobirama] is strong enough, right? One of the strongest ninjas in the version. His Flying Thunder God mark lasts longer than the opponent's life, and a single Flying Thunder God Slash almost covers the entire X-axis.

But when facing [Killer Bee]'s Tailed Beast Transformation, there was nothing he could do but stand there dumbfounded or mash random normal attacks across the screen.

And so, Killer Bee successfully ran a two-through, which only further fueled his arrogance.

One current-version powerhouse, one previous-version true god—both looked like little brothers in front of him!

"Yo~ Uchiha Itachi! Second Hokage! None of them are fiercer than me! Ninjutsu, genjutsu, all handled—crazy output, super hyped! Super armor aura rumbling like thunder, enemies see me and go blank!"

Killer Bee swung his arms and swayed his body. Under everyone's gaze, he felt like a huge superstar.

'Bee, aren't you worried that acting like this will draw too much hate? Akatsuki and Konoha won't be happy, right?'

'The god of the duel arena changes constantly—every month, every day! Who was acting arrogant yesterday? Today it's my turn to run wild! Bakayaro~ konoyaro!'

The inner exchange between Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails was brief. Even so, he still cautiously glanced at his big brother.

Unexpectedly, after being brutally beaten, the Raikage wasn't angry at all—he was actually grinning happily.

The moment Killer Bee saw the next ninja, he immediately understood.

No wonder—despite the ninja counter matchup, the Raikage shouldn't have been completely powerless. Yet Killer Bee had nearly full-HP two-throughed him.

Just look at what the Raikage had used.

[Mysterious Masked Man], Akatsuki's final façade. [Senju Tobirama], Konoha's newly risen duel arena super top-tier.

And yet, both had fallen to Kumogakure's Killer Bee.

What did this mean?

On the surface, it looked like the Raikage's skill was inferior, plus a gap in ninja strength—he lost decisively to his brother.

But in reality? Stepping on the previous-version and current-version true favorites in front of everyone, just to elevate his own status!

Thinking of this, Killer Bee felt nothing but admiration.

While he was still thinking about showing off, his brother had already planned all of this. Truly worthy of being the Raikage.

"Come on, Bee. It's time for the real showdown." The Raikage rolled his neck, bones cracking loudly.

Third slot—[A · Fourth Raikage]!

As the two Kumogakure High-Class Recruitment ninjas were about to clash on the big screen, many people suddenly understood—and immediately started cursing the Raikage for being a scheming old fox.

Sacrificing an Akatsuki ninja and a Konoha ninja in exchange for triple-summon, super-armor Raikage!

"WEI AHHHHHHHHHH!"

[Killer Bee] was completely destroyed by [A · Fourth Raikage].

Different from Kuroda's previous life.

Back when the Raikage was first released, he actually couldn't beat Killer Bee at all. His skills kept getting interrupted.

A few days later, his strength got optimized straight to the ceiling.

Obviously, that kind of situation wouldn't happen in the ninja world. The Raikage was born at his peak.

Watching himself die on the phone screen, Killer Bee instantly felt dead inside.

He hadn't expected that all the earlier buildup was just to let his brother make his entrance. Didn't that just make him a clown?

The Raikage's ultimate summons Killer Bee to pincer the enemy, so it turned into Killer Bee and the Raikage killing Killer Bee together.

"Hahahaha! What a spectacular battle!" After successfully completing the reverse three-through, the Raikage patted Killer Bee on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

Killer Bee's shoulder hurt from the slap. His expression twisted slightly, but he didn't dare resist and could only endure it.

"It seems both of you are very satisfied with your ninjas," Kuroda smiled. "Then that concludes this session of the information conference."

"In the new version, aside from new ninjas, there will also be a brand-new combat power system, with ninja tools going live. Please look forward to it!"
