SIZZLE—
Lightning flashed. A violent and terrifying aura climbed onto the Fourth Raikage's body, his hair fluttering with the flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder. At a glance, he was like a demon king being born. His aura was滔滔 (tāotāo) - torrential, and he was不可一世 (bùkěyīshì) - unparalleled in his generation.
As A activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the lightning-attribute chakra transformed into baring-fanged and brandishing-clawed thunder-serpents, choosing a person to devour. At this moment, the Raikage's aura had climbed to its peak. His Kage-level combat power was on full display, a power infinitely close to the super-Kage level.
BOOM!
He threw a punch. The air cracked with a kaka-kaka sound, as if the very atmosphere had been pierced. His arm, full of explosive power, was surging with electric arcs. The Raikage A let out a fierce roar, "Liger Bomb!"
Swoosh.
An afterimage. A gust of wind was kicked up. Then, A's entire person had vanished from the spot. In almost the blink of an eye, he had escaped from under the sword aura swung by Kusuo.
POW!
The Raikage's body, wreathed in countless bolts of lightning, had already descended at the far end of the dust cloud. On the other side, invisible to Mabui and Samui, the two had already clashed.
At this moment, it was an incomparably fierce collision. Every strike was accompanied by a world-shaking sound. Feeling the bone-chillingly violent wrist strike, the power coming from the other side could almost crush mountains and shatter stone.
Kusuo's eyes narrowed. He forced the Fourth Raikage back, but the Fourth Raikage A performed a spiral kick, literally kicking the air into an explosion, and used the force to quickly approach again.
Just as A's attack was about to touch Kusuo, Swoosh!
An identical afterimage. Kusuo shot towards the sky, his entire person leaping up.
This scene was witnessed by Mabui and Samui on the ground. The two of them stared in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief, a shock that was hard to put into words.
They were stunned. They were watching, stunned.
"Hiss..."
"How is that possible?"
"To be able to launch into the air with just the power of his physical body, to fly to such a great height?"
"This level of physical strength... not even Lord Raikage can do it!"
"This is too monstrous."
"Hatake Kusuo, who is crowned with the name of a monster, truly lives up to his name."
This scene made Mabui's heart tremble violently. She was completely dumbfounded, already not knowing how to describe the raging waves in her heart. That kind of power... was simply not something a normal human could possess.
What's more, that boy hadn't used any special chakra mode at all. Lord Raikage, whose physical fitness was as strong as his, also had to rely on the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to reach the peak strength of the human body. Of course, if he were to open a higher gear, Lord Raikage's physical strength could be even greater. At that time, it would be impossible to track his movements with the naked eye.
But there were no strange fluctuations on this boy's body. In other words, a boy in his teens, relying on his physical body, had teleported to the sky?
Could the intelligence be wrong? Was Kusuo not a ninja from Konoha, but a disciple of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, who had also learned the Super Light-Weight Rock Technique? Otherwise, how could one explain the miracle of him being able to fly in the air?
After briefly ascending into the sky, Kusuo looked down on the Raikage below. As for the other two, although the dark-skinned, magnificent woman Mabui had mastered the secret Heavenly Transfer Technique, and the white-skinned, magnificent woman Samui was at the elite jonin level, to the current him, they were nothing.
He had pinpointed the Raikage's position below. A was still in the motion of swinging his wrist for the Liger Bomb and hadn't been able to retract his body.
The next second, Kusuo, in the air, slashed out.
CLANG!
A sharp, crisp sword hum. In a flash of lightning, the slash struck the Raikage's arm guard.
SIZZLE!
Crackling lightning. It struck the sword in Kusuo's hand, and they were actually locked in a stalemate.
"Not bad wrist strength," he commented faintly.
Kusuo retracted his blade, then slashed with a backhand. A slash in the air. Sharp. Like a torrential downpour. With an un-dodgeable ultimate attribute, it quickly cut towards the Raikage's body.
"Not good!" Samui saw it clearly. While her heart was trembling nonstop, it was the first time she had witnessed the terror of this boy. That... was a terror that absolutely surpassed the description in the intelligence reports.
Only those who have truly seen his sword are qualified to praise Kusuo's swordsmanship as unparalleled in the world. Because almost no one could survive it.
Kurotsuchi's young heart had already gone numb. Looking at this scene, her face was like a raging sea of shock. When a swordsman... possessed taijutsu on par with, or even far surpassing, the Cloud Village's Raikage, how could you fight? The problem was that this swordsman's sword aura didn't consume chakra. To be able to react and even counter-attack under the pincer attack of the Raikage's Liger Bomb, with such fast movements... in history, there was only the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
So... the Hidden Stone Village was already hopeless, wasn't it?
Kusuo's strength made Kurotsuchi feel despair. That little bit of desire in her heart to return to Konoha, steel her will, and train hard to one day get revenge had vanished like smoke.
At this very moment, Kurotsuchi just wanted to say to her grandfather, Onoki, I'm sorry, I can't do it. The enemy is simply too strong.
RUMBLE!
A world-shaking tremor was transmitted. Accompanied by a deafening roar, it resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Swoosh! A blue figure was sent flying backward, like a cannonball being thrown, flying to a mountain at the edge of his vision.
BAM! BAM! BAM—
He crashed through two small mountain peaks in a row, only stopping at the third. Finally, he smashed out a deep, human-shaped crater, embedded within it.
The Fourth Raikage. The Fourth Raikage, who had opened his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, had even launched a surprise attack first, and had fought head-on, was in the end sent flying into a mountain by a single slash?!
This... was unheard of. Unbelievable.
Mabui stood on the spot, trembling. She didn't dare to make a sound, afraid of disturbing the sword-wielding boy who was standing quietly at one end. Her two beautiful legs, wrapped in stockings, were trembling like chaff. She was carefully controlling her breathing.
"Lord Raikage!" Samui, on the other hand, cried out in alarm and quickly flew over to find the Raikage's body. She was the only one, besides Kurotsuchi, who had seen Kusuo's final movements clearly.
Kusuo... under Lord Raikage's Liger Bomb, had first shot into the air, then slashed down. After being blocked by Lord Raikage's specialized arm guard, he had immediately followed up with another slash. A magnificent sword aura had bombarded Lord Raikage's lightning armor. A, caught off guard, was directly sent flying several hundred meters, shattering two mountain peaks, only stopping at the third.
The entire process took less than a second.
One second. A normal person's breath took longer than that. That monster Kusuo... he could actually make so many moves, and his strength was so horrifying.
Too strong. Completely beyond human imagination.
A faint smile hung on the corner of Kusuo's mouth. The experiment just now was very successful. After unlocking 80% of his template, his physical fitness had indeed been greatly enhanced, comparable to Guy opening the sixth or even the seventh of the Eight Gates. And that wasn't even counting the mark on his forehead. If he opened the mark, his physical strength could be even stronger.
This was just the enhancement from 80%. Just as he had expected, the system had improved the strength of his Total Concentration: Constant. So what about 90%? It would surely be an enhancement to the level of his Mark. At that time, Kusuo with his Mark open would be comparable to Guy with all eight gates open, and perhaps even surpass him, without any danger to his life. It would be purely an ultimate life leap.
At that time, as long as Madara dared to be stubborn and say the word "dance," he, Kusuo, wouldn't mind kicking Madara Uchiha around until dawn, one kick after another.
You can restore your body? I'll kick you a hundred times. You restore a thousand times, I'll kick you a thousand times.
If that day really came, Madara would definitely cry and kneel on the ground, begging for mercy:
Please! Please stop dancing! I, Madara, will acknowledge you as the strongest, isn't that enough?
