Chapter 290 - 290: Ashveil’s Unseen Origins

Normally, powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu was mastered only by the ninja of the Land of Lightning.

How could a member of Akatsuki wield such techniques?

This was Ninjutsu that even the most skilled shinobi of the Land of Lightning had not fully mastered.

Killer Bee and Darui stared in disbelief, utterly shocked.

"Who exactly are you, and why do you wield Lightning Release Ninjutsu from the Land of Lightning?" Killer Bee muttered, narrowing his eyes.

"Yes, who are you really? Akatsuki could never possess someone this terrifying," Darui added, unease creeping into his voice.

"My identity isn't important. What matters is that you are about to become my experience points," Ashveil said with a slight smirk.

The reason he joined Akatsuki was clear: to gain combat experience while capturing Tailed Beasts.

In the next instant, a massive bolt of lightning surged forward, carrying Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki-infused giant fist.

The speed of the strike was extreme, enhanced by the lightning's power. In an instant, the fist reached them.

Both Killer Bee and Darui froze.

They could hardly believe that an Akatsuki member could command Lightning Release so flawlessly, surpassing even the best ninja of the Land of Lightning.

Their minds raced, questioning Ashveil's origin.

Deidara and Tobi, observing from a distance, were equally stunned.

The sheer power and speed of the lightning were overwhelming, striking them with explosive force.

Zzzzt… Zzzzt…

The current surged across Killer Bee and the surrounding ninja. Even the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Cloak offered limited protection. Killer Bee twitched under the shock, struggling to maintain control.

Darui fared worse. Without the Tailed Beast Cloak, the electric assault left him incapacitated, and he collapsed immediately.

Killer Bee grit his teeth, staring at Ashveil. "This Lightning Release… it can even paralyze the Eight-Tails. Ashveil, what kind of monster are you?"

"Were you once a ninja from the Land of Lightning?" he asked, bewildered.

Ashveil chuckled lightly. "I already told you, I'm not from the Land of Lightning. You're overthinking, Killer Bee."

He added with a smirk, "If you still doubt me, my next move will convince you… though naturally, once I use it, you won't survive."

Killer Bee's eyes widened, puzzlement deepening. What could Ashveil be planning next?

Then, Ashveil's body radiated a chilling aura, his chakra forming a swirling, icy energy around him.

Deidara and Tobi reacted immediately.

"Oh, right… I almost forgot," Tobi murmured.

"Ashveil has incredible ice manipulation abilities. This is perfect for capturing the Eight-Tails. It doesn't matter how resilient the beast is—if he freezes the entire body, he takes control entirely. Let's see how you escape now."

Tobi's voice carried excitement, encouraging Ashveil.

Ashveil's lips curved into a faint smile. He was pleased with the reaction, knowing this upcoming battle would be a valuable experience. Beyond the Tailed Beasts, encounters with legendary ninja like Uchiha Madara—or beings of similar level—were precisely what he craved.

Killer Bee, feeling the cold energy wash over him, gaped in disbelief. The ice Ninjutsu radiated power beyond his understanding, rivaling techniques from the Rain Hidden Village itself.

How could Ashveil, a mere Akatsuki member, possess such a combination of lightning and ice Ninjutsu? These were skills even the Kage of the great nations could scarcely wield.

"Who… how… could possess such terrifying techniques?" Killer Bee muttered, his scalp tingling.

"Could it be… Uchiha Madara?!" he exclaimed, eyes wide in disbelief.

Ashveil internally rolled his eyes. Clearly, Killer Bee was imagining him as Madara, curious about his origins.

He considered revealing the truth. "How about I tell you who I really am?" Ashveil said with a slight smirk.

Killer Bee swallowed hard, anticipating the answer. Deidara's eyes widened alongside him. Even among Ashveil's allies, his origins were a mystery, and this might be the first opportunity to hear it.

Tobi, masking his identity as Obito, leaned in as if listening intently. Even he was intrigued, cautious that Ashveil's power might soon exceed control.

Finally, Ashveil spoke, voice calm but carrying weight.

"Listen carefully. The reason I can wield so many Ninjutsu… is because I am an alien."

Silence fell.

Those who had leaned in to hear him were stunned into disbelief.

Killer Bee was the first to react, eyes wide. "An alien… you're joking, right? Even if you're lying, find a better reason!"

Deidara's brows furrowed in frustration. An alien… How could that be possible? Yet, the overwhelming power before them left no room for doubt.

Ashveil's smirk widened, fully aware of the shock he had caused.
