"The recovery speed is also that fast... just what kind of monster is this guy..."
The Fourth Raikage stared grimly ahead.
At that moment, Naruto hesitated. He wanted to use Kongō Fūsa (Adamantine Sealing Chains), Rasengan, and other more powerful abilities.
But doing so would risk exposing his identity.
After all, both Kongō Fūsa and Rasengan were directly tied to Konoha. On top of that, he hadn't exactly gone out of his way to hide his appearance...
"If my identity is revealed, then I'll be the enemy of the entire world..."
Konoha, Akatsuki, the other four major villages, even Kuro Zetsu and Uchiha Obito—all of them would target me..."
"In the worst case, I might face enemies resurrected by Edo Tensei..."
All these thoughts flashed through Naruto's mind, but he quickly made his decision, eyes gleaming coldly:
"Rasengan!"
Before the shocked eyes of the Fourth Raikage, a swirling blue orb formed in Naruto's hand.
Soon after, the Rasengan began to transform, expanding into a four-pointed blue shuriken swirling with raging wind chakra.
"That's... the jutsu used by the Fourth Hokage of Konoha! What's your relation to Konoha!?"
The Raikage exclaimed in shock.
He had recognized it.
In the last Great Ninja War, he and Killer Bee had once invaded Konoha intending to cause destruction, but they encountered Namikaze Minato.
It was during that battle that Minato had used the Rasengan against him.
Staring at Naruto now, the Raikage's pupils dilated as a ridiculous thought formed in his mind:
"Could it be..."
Was I exposed...? Naruto's gaze grew colder. He knew he had to silence the Raikage.
Even though he was powerful, he couldn't yet do what Uchiha Madara had done—take on the entire ninja world alone.
"Could it be... you're Minato's father or maybe his brother!?"
The Raikage finally voiced the absurd suspicion.
Naruto's mouth twitched.
It wasn't really the Raikage's fault—after all, Minato had only been married a few years before his death.
Even if he had a child, there was no way they could've grown this much in such a short time.
Naruto didn't bother to explain further and simply said:
"Fūton: Rasenshuriken! (Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!)"
With a swing of his right hand, the Rasenshuriken flew toward the Raikage, aiming for his heart.
"Tch..." The Raikage snapped back to reality and quickly dodged, his body turning into a flash of lightning.
The Rasenshuriken grazed past him.
Even just feeling the micro wind blades on the edge of his body made the Raikage gasp in shock.
A wind-style ninjutsu... with this level of threat...
At that moment, Naruto stepped through a spatial gate, appearing in front of the Rasenshuriken's trajectory.
He opened an Air Door, absorbing the Rasenshuriken.
Then, behind the Raikage, he opened another Air Door.
Before the Raikage could react, the Rasenshuriken shot out point-blank from the second door.
"A space-time ninjutsu..."
BOOM!!
The Rasenshuriken slammed into the Raikage's chest.
In an instant, trillions of micro wind blades clashed with his Raiton no Yoroi (Lightning Release Armor).
Blue-white light and yellow lightning exploded in all directions.
"ARGHHHHH!!!"
The Raikage howled in agony as he was blasted backward.
The Rasenshuriken detonated and expanded to a three-meter-wide sphere of wind chakra, pulverizing everything nearby into dust.
The Raikage tumbled back dozens of steps before stopping, his face pale and clutching his chest:
"This kind of wind-style... almost shattered my Lightning Armor..."
Naruto's gaze was cold as he looked at the Raikage:
"If it were your father—the Third Raikage—this level of wind-style wouldn't even have scratched him."
The Raikage's heart trembled again.
"You knew my father!?"
But Naruto ignored the question and formed a hand seal.
Suddenly, over a thousand shadow clones surrounded the Raikage.
Each one raised its right hand:
"Ōdama Rasengan! (Big Ball Rasengan!)"
In an instant, the sky filled with giant blue orbs, like planets, descending like meteor showers.
The Raikage stood frozen, overwhelmed by the sheer scale.
This chakra level... it's almost like a Tailed Beast's...
With a roar, the Raikage's body burst with lightning as he charged the clones.
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
Explosions erupted nonstop.
The battlefield turned into a wasteland—land, buildings, everything reduced to rubble.
Blue orbs, blazing flames, golden flashes—flashed continuously through the chaos.
Suddenly, the Raikage sensed something off.
Looking at his arm, his pupils contracted:
"That's... Minato's Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique)!?"
A black seal mark had appeared on his left arm—where one of Naruto's clones had touched him earlier.
"He even knows Flying Thunder God... Could he really be Minato's father or brother!?"
The Raikage grew increasingly unsettled, increasingly regretful.
But all he could do now was keep smashing through clones.
"Damn it... this guy's individual strength is too ridiculous..."
Naruto coldly stared at him.
Unlike Orochimaru or Konan, the Raikage had refined his single-target combat ability to its extreme.
The others, no matter how powerful, were still limited by their human physiology. Once seriously injured, they'd die.
But the Raikage, with his cellular activation and Lightning Armor, was like a monster covered head to toe in Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki).
"Time to bind you, then eliminate you..."
Naruto focused his mind, about to summon his other Kekkei Genkai—Golden Chain Sealing Technique.
But at that moment, he paused.
A beastly roar echoed from below as a surge of violent chakra shot into the sky.
Looking down, Naruto's eyes narrowed.
In the sea of flames below, Killer Bee, partially transformed, let out a furious roar.
His body rapidly swelled, wrapped in blood-red chakra.
But that blood-red chakra soon receded, revealing a gigantic figure—half bull, half octopus.
"Full Tailed Beast Transformation... Gyūki the Eight-Tails!"
