[V2] - Chapter 86. Captain Yuto Appears Again
---
Konoha Square Dance Association.
An unofficial organization within Konoha.
It's rumored that even the elders of the major ninja clans in Konoha have participated. Within Konoha, it's quite a fearsome organization that ordinary people don't dare to provoke easily!
Every morning and evening, you can spot their figures in spacious areas.
Wherever there's music playing, they are bound to be there.
However—
"Konoha has this kind of organization?!"
Upon hearing Jiraiya's explanation, the two were stunned and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Then they looked ahead at the members of the Konoha Square Dance Association standing on the lawn.
Suddenly—
Lively music boomed from a large black speaker!
As the music played, everyone began moving their bodies.
Their graceful movements—
Dancing elegantly!
Their charming eyes—
Captivating!
Spinning, swaying, leaping!
With each movement, the ribbons on their fans fluttered in the wind!
All four of them were captivated, their pupils following the swaying dances!
Even Senju Hashirama couldn't help but shiver, but strangely enough… the more he watched, the more exciting it became!
"Bo-bo-boring!" Uchiha Madara beside him also shivered, scoffing with disdain, "As expected, Konoha is becoming more and more corrupt. This is… this is just so boring!"
"Madara! Your body… is swaying!"
"…"
This idiot!
However—
Soon after—
The music stopped, and the dance ended.
The first dance of the day was over. A slightly warmed-up Jiraiya cheerfully walked over, looked at the four, and asked, "How about it? Want to join our Konoha Square Dance Association?"
"Ridiculous! Boring!"
"Well… Madara-sama, although our Square Dance Association doesn't have any entry requirements, we don't accept blind people! Sorry!"
"Y-y-you bastard… Get lost!"
"You two brats!" Jiraiya didn't mind and turned cheerfully to look at Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto beside him. "Why the long faces? Don't tell me it's about the Chunin Exams?" Seeing those pitiful puppy eyes, he added, "Fine! Want to join? You know, that Itachi kid also practiced taijutsu in our Square Dance Association and was even one of the lead performers!"
After those words—
"…"
The two fell silent.
Especially Sasuke… He already knew about how his Onii-chan had delivered food, run errands, and even danced.
But…
To actually make him do such an embarrassing dance in public… he was really reluctant!
As expected—
Onii-chan is Onii-chan!
He's still far from that level!
The two of them quickly shook their heads and refused!
"What a shame! In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer young people in the association! As the vice president, I'm really troubled." Jiraiya scratched his head and sighed in disappointment.
At that moment—
Break time ended.
The second round was about to begin!
Just as he was about to turn around and start—
Suddenly—
"So this is what they call Konoha Square Dance?"
A loud and curious voice rang out.
Then—
"Yo~ check it out! Konoha Square Dance, a Konoha specialty, so interesting! I'm jealous, Father!"
Another rapping voice followed immediately.
Everyone looked up in surprise and saw—
A shirtless, muscular blond man, along with another man with light blond hair and black sunglasses, standing before them!
They were the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee from Kumogakure!
"Hey~ BOY! I'm in a great mood today, full of inspiration, ready to spit some sick rhymes~ THANK U!" Killer Bee struck a pose. "Wanna come dance with me?"
As the words fell—
Everyone suddenly stood at attention. So this was… another dancer?
But—
Before anyone could react, Killer Bee jumped straight into the middle of the square, pulled out his phone, and fiddled with the speaker. While everyone was still wondering what he was doing—
They saw him… directly hoist the speaker onto his shoulder.
Suddenly—
A rhythmic and energetic beat blasted from the speaker.
"Yo yo yo!"
Left hand carrying the speaker, right hand forming a finger gun, both feet moving to the beat, he gestured energetically toward Jiraiya, "I! Killer Bee! From Kumogakure! Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, that's me! Yeah! Ah! I! Shine with charm!" Singing as he danced, "Today I'm full of inspiration, just wanna perform right here! Konoha boys! You see this? The dance has only just begun!"
As the words fell—
Everyone was stunned.
Then... Jiraiya furrowed his brows deeply, looking at the still-dancing Killer Bee in front of him.
This guy...
Is he here to challenge?!
He recalled—
He seemed to have heard that… near the end of the Third Ninja World War, Killer Bee from Kumogakure once came as an envoy to Konoha and started dancing at a disco back then, drawing cheers from the crowd!
Unexpectedly—
This time… he's actually dancing again in Konoha!
But to be fair—
As expected of Kumogakure's superstar—Killer Bee, his dance skills were truly amazing, full of the exotic style of the Land of Lightning. That wild beauty, different from Konoha's style, accompanied by the rhythmic beat, instantly drew everyone's attention!
"Yo yo yo~"
Time passed bit by bit.
Everyone was watching Killer Bee's dance moves with the speaker on his shoulder, rapping and dancing, as if fully immersed in the performance.
At this moment—
It seemed more and more people were noticing the commotion and began gathering around!
Cold sweat began forming on Jiraiya's forehead.
In his eyes—
It was like a dance prodigy stood before him!
Very soon—
The music ended.
"BANG!!"
Killer Bee slammed the speaker on the ground, struck a cool pose, grinned at Jiraiya and said, "I'm in a great mood today! THANK U—come on, everybody, have some fun!"
As the words dropped—
A wave of cheers erupted!
All the spectators who had gathered didn't hold back in showing their praise!
"Nice!"
"That was amazing! I can feel my whole body heating up!"
"That's… Kumogakure's superstar! Mr. Killer Bee! I can't believe he danced here!"
As everyone realized Killer Bee's identity, the cheering intensified once again!
Even Madara, who couldn't see, nodded seriously and said calmly, "This guy… not bad."
Just that one sentence—
It shocked Hashirama, who was familiar with Madara.
He didn't expect—
That Madara would actually give such high praise!
It looks like this Killer Bee really isn't simple!
However—
Many on Konoha's side could also see it clearly.
This Killer Bee from Kumogakure—
Had just declared war on Konoha!
Jiraiya's expression turned serious. As a member of the Konoha Square Dance Association, how could he back down in front of the crowd?
But—
With just the dances they usually practice, it was absolutely impossible to defeat this genius.
Of course, it wasn't like there was no way!
If they wanted to win… perhaps they could use the Dance of the Three Princesses of Konoha. But Jiraiya thought if he actually used that here… Orochimaru might kill him.
So, he'd have to try something else.
However—
This happened too suddenly, and there was no time to prepare at all~.
Jiraiya hesitated slightly, looked at the crowd behind him shouting "Go up!" and took a deep breath.
Just as he was about to turn back and respond to the challenge—
He suddenly froze, then his face lit up with joy. He raised his hand and waved his fist at the red-haired figure, "Nagato, you're here? Come help quickly, let's use the Toad—eh eh~ wait, wait! Don't run away!"
"…"
Who wouldn't run!?
A bunch of lunatics!
Without hesitation, Nagato turned around and ran.
Helplessly—
Jiraiya sighed, looked at Killer Bee in front of him, and could only… brace himself and go.
"I—"
Before he could even finish his sentence—
"First, never act on impulse!"
A deep and solemn voice rang out from behind, drawing everyone's attention again.
"Second, never overlook a single misdeed; Third, always judge fairly and cleanly."
Everyone turned around in unison and froze.
It was Boss Yuto!
They saw—
Uchiha Yuto waved his arm, flipped onto the lawn, looked at both sides as if he were the embodiment of justice, and shouted loudly, "Konoha Referee Captain Yuto is here to preside!"
