114 Naruto Mobile Game

[Invincible Dreams! Together!]

[Lightning Speed—Impact!]

The teaser silhouettes for the new High-Class Recruitment were announced inside Ninja Mobile Game, and this time there were two at once.

A lot of people were interested, but that pitch-black blur was really hard to make out. As for me, though, I already knew.

"Information conference guests?"

In Kumogakure, the Raikage looked at the invitation privately sent by Ninja Mobile Game's official team. As he kept reading, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift.

Finally! Finally!

Konoha! Akatsuki! Konoha! Akatsuki! The arena had been completely dominated by these two sides! The other villages were being crushed so hard they could barely breathe!

And now, finally, it was Kumogakure's turn. At last, they could vent this pent-up frustration!

"Mabui, if I go on the information conference, do you think I should say something to show off the might of the Land of Lightning?"

The Raikage's words made his secretary break out in a cold sweat.

Show off your power? In front of the entire ninja world?

Please! Even the boss of Akatsuki, who once destroyed Konoha by himself, behaved properly when he went on the information conference!

"Raikage-sama, I think it's more important to keep an eye on Killer Bee-sama."

"Yes, you're right."

The Raikage leaned back in his chair, rubbing his head in irritation.

It was certainly worth celebrating that the two brothers were appearing on the information conference together—but what if that brat Killer Bee started causing trouble?

"Listen carefully, Bee. On the information conference, stay quiet for me. Other than your job, don't do anything extra!"

Just before the information conference, the Raikage directly summoned Killer Bee and grabbed him, warning him with a deadly serious expression.

Killer Bee scratched his head, then nodded.

"Yo~ viewers of the entire ninja world, how you doin'!"

"I'm Killer Bee~ super hot! From that corner of Kumogakure! Eight-Tails as my chorus! My words all rhyme! Rap skills super unique!"

"Little Eight inside my body, seven blades on my back! I don't exaggerate my strength at all—Tailed Beast power in my hands, strutting sideways across the battlefield!"

"Sunglasses on, I love no one! Seven blades swinging, ultra cool! Enemies see me, they worship! Killer Bee-sama is just that—crazy cool~"

"Strong and commanding—the power of a perfect Jinchūriki!"

"Raikage is my brather, our ultimate moves sync just right! Rap together, dance together, we vibe the hardest!"

"Come on come on follow my beat, lock into our rhythm, the swagger of a top-tier rapper can't be escaped!"

"You ask what else is awesome? Thinking day and night dreaming every night mature ladies' soft~ chests!"

"Wu~ wei!!!"

The ninja world: ....

Kuroda: ....

Raikage: BEE!!

No one expected that the moment a guest stepped onto the information conference—before it even officially started—he would launch straight into a live performance.

"Sorry… he didn't take his medicine."

The Raikage forcibly dragged Killer Bee to sit down, adding an awkward explanation.

Killer Bee stopped talking, hugged his head with both arms, and curled up on the sofa, his body still trembling slightly.

Kuroda glanced at the lump on top of Killer Bee's head—bigger than his head itself. It was clearly fresh, still practically steaming.

"A-san and Killer Bee-san are brothers, right? Your relationship is really good."

Kuroda teased.

The Raikage coughed lightly.

"Host, let's get back to business. Are we both S-rank ninjas?"

Hearing this, Kuroda found it a little funny—not laughing at the Raikage, but at Cube Internet Café of his previous life.

Raikage being S-rank was obviously fine, but Killer Bee—who fought alongside Naruto in the Fourth Great Ninja War as a main attacker, a dignified perfect Jinchūriki—didn't even get an S.

Of course, these two super armor brothers had both dominated the arena. When they first came out, they were blazing like the midday sun.

As for ninja ranking, there was nothing that could be done. The Raikage could only be disappointed.

Whoosh!

Behind the stage, a large screen lit up, showing the character art of the Raikage and Killer Bee.

One was smiling, the other serious, but just from their looks, outfits, and skin tone, no one would doubt they were real brothers.

Bee is A-rank, huh...

The Raikage sighed, unable to say much. He couldn't seriously raise objections about ninja rankings.

What if he got blacklisted? What if future High-Class Recruitment skipped Kumogakure? No Killer Bee would be bad enough—but he absolutely had to get himself in, and he had to be strong!

But he might have forgotten—or rather, overlooked—something.

A ninja that's well-made and strong will certainly be popular with players, but if it's too strong… then sorry, it's straight to the ban slot.

"Host, let's just demonstrate the skills directly."

The Raikage turned to look at Kuroda.

Because the Raikage was sitting to Kuroda's left, when he turned, his arm moved closer as well… Kuroda almost reflexively activated Secret Scrolls!

"...Alright, let's begin."

Kuroda relaxed a bit. For a moment, he thought he was about to get elbowed by air.

...

Entering the practice field, the two new ninjas stood facing each other, completely motionless.

The Raikage elbowed Killer Bee. Killer Bee pouted, then reluctantly began the demonstration first.

After getting beaten, he had originally planned to play dumb and let his brother demonstrate first. After all, everyone knew the later one to appear was always stronger.

But when he held concerts in Kumogakure, he was usually the first to come out—not for any special reason, just because there was no one after him.

Now, though, there was no helping it. The authority of the elder brother!

Huh? You're asking why the Raikage told Killer Bee not to do anything extra at the information conference, yet Killer Bee still blasted out rap the moment he appeared?

Rap is not extra! Killer Bee was absolutely certain.

[Killer Bee]'s normal attacks are decent. The first three A attacks push forward, the fourth A spins with displacement, but the fifth A has a huge ending lag.

Second skill, Lightning Blast—simply put, it's a body-charge dash with pretty good speed.

During the ending lag, pressing normal attack lets you chain into an extra fourth A. After landing it at the start, you can pull back to bait a substitution.

Of course, that's not the focus. The real core of [Killer Bee] is his first skill, Tailed Beast Transformation.

"Tailed Beast Form 2? Why isn't there a 1?"

"Read the skill description!"

After the Raikage kicked Killer Bee, Bee stopped fooling around and read it out loud while looking.

"Gathering chakra to envelop himself and spinning at high speed, then erupting with Tailed Beast chakra, Killer Bee enters Tailed Beast Form 2. In Tailed Beast Form 2, movement speed increases and Super armor is active for the entire duration."

The Raikage froze.

Killer Bee froze.

Everyone watching froze.

What the heck? Super armor for the entire duration?

At that moment, in the underworld, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama suddenly felt his brow twitch, an ominous feeling rising in his heart.

In Ninja Mobile Game, ninjas with grab skills were extremely rare. Dealing with Super armor was already hard—and his main ninja was one of those few.

No way...

"I'm going to dominate everything!"

"What?! What happened? Quick, let me see! Does it affect passing on the family line?"

"Uh, calm down. I mean my main ninja's strength has exploded! First skill has Super armor the whole time—yo ho ho ho~ totally invincible!"

The Raikage didn't respond immediately. Instead, he looked down and fiddled with his phone for a moment, then spoke calmly.

"Oh. I activate Lightning Armor—both skills have Super armor."

Killer Bee: ...

Waaah~ what did he just say again?

Sure enough, the one who comes out later is the stronger one!
