Seeing this, the Third Raikage shouted angrily. The power released by the Lightning Armor on his body grew even stronger, transforming from an initial illusory armor prototype into an almost solid blue electric arc armor flowing slowly around him.
Seeing the large hammer and awl coming at him, he would not wait for death. He activated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, using lightning attribute chakra currents to stimulate his nerves and muscles, thus bursting forth with speed akin to the speed of sound to dodge.
Boom! The golden large hammer and the golden awl collided. They did not cause large scale damage. Anyone with clear eyes could see that this strike's force was entirely concentrated on the tip point of the awl. Moreover, at this moment, the awl was stuck into the earth. A force transmitted through the surface into the ground, creating a small hole visible to the naked eye.
The Third Raikage's figure appeared. He looked at the awl, his eyes revealing gravity. This move was stronger than a Tailed Beast! Perhaps others had no right to comment, but he, the Third Raikage, the strongest Raikage A, had this qualification!
Ryun Uchiha showed a mocking expression. "I thought you wouldn't dodge? After all, you are known as the strongest Raikage, the possessor of the strongest physique."
The Third Raikage snorted coldly. "That also depends on the opponent. If I really took every skill head on, that wouldn't be bravery, but foolishness!" After speaking, his figure turned into a flash of lightning and charged towards Ryun Uchiha. Ryun Uchiha, holding the Uchiha War Fan, blocked with both hands forward.
With a thud, the Raikage's figure appeared. His Three-Finger Nukite attacked the Uchiha War Fan, erupting with a huge roaring sound. A wave of air spread outwards from the point of contact!
Instantly, the shinobi of Kumogakure and the shinobi of Konohagakure couldn't help but retreat over a dozen steps, looking at the two in the center of the field. They gasped. These two freaks were simply not human! This was no longer a battle that Jonin could participate in.
Even ordinary Kage-level experts would likely be severely injured if they were slightly careless and got caught in the aftermath. Seeing this, both Konoha and Kumo shinobi tacitly gave up the central area of the field, continuing their battle on the periphery.
The Third Raikage A grunted. He felt a force of recoil, then a bloody sweet sensation surged up from his internal organs. He forcibly suppressed his physical discomfort and pulled back.
Ryun only felt a shock in his arms. However, thanks to the immense physical cheat code that was the Sage Body, the shock was quickly resolved, and his condition was restored to its peak!
Ryun retrieved the Uchiha Flame Fan and thrust it into the ground. He placed one foot on the fan surface and one hand on the fan handle. "Is this all you're capable of? Then sorry, you won't be leaving! Prepare to atone with your death!"
Ryun clapped his hands together. "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!" His magnetic voice accompanied a surging wave of heat. A pillar of crimson red flame shot towards the Raikage!
The Third Raikage A's pupils constricted. He then let out an explosive shout. "Two-Finger Nukite!" Facing the surging heat wave and the almost solid-like pillar of flame, the Third Raikage A did not choose to retreat, but rather advanced against the difficulty!
The fierce blue lightning chakra crackled. As the Third Raikage A used Two-Finger Nukite plus his charge, he drew a beautiful arc in the pitch black night. But the fierce aura within it told you it wasn't beautiful at all.
The arc split the fire pillar in two, its momentum unabated as it stabbed straight towards Ryun Uchiha's face!
Ryun was stunned, too late to block. Pfft! The Two-Finger Nukite pierced through Ryun Uchiha's head. Ryun's face turned pale, his eyes bearing an expression of disbelief.
"Hmph, don't look down on me, Hokage. Although you are strong, I am not bad either!" After uttering words resembling a post-battle summary, the Third Raikage pulled his hand out, turned around, his movements seamless.
Minato Namikaze shouted angrily, "Sensei! This is impossible!" He then began to power up, throwing out nearly a hundred Flying Thunder God kunai, then regardless of consumption used the Flying Thunder God Technique, constantly shifting around the Third Raikage.
The Third Raikage gritted his teeth. "Damn mosquito! Go to hell and accompany your useless teacher!" After saying this, the Third Raikage's chakra erupted again, striking the ground. Instantly, the ground collapsed, and a wave of air generated, blasting outwards in all directions.
Even though the shinobi of Kumogakure and Konohagakure had moved quite far away, they were still affected by the air wave from this attack, sent flying one after another, screams coming from their mouths.
Minato, gritting his teeth, seized an opening. He threw a Flying Thunder God kunai towards the Raikage's head, then used Flying Thunder God Second Step mid-air. Wind attribute chakra swirling in his hand, he turned gracefully. "Flying Thunder God Second Step, Great Ball Rasengan!"
The Third Raikage, having just executed a heavy attack with his old force spent and new force not yet generated, was unable to dodge this strike. His lumbar region was forcibly pressed into the ground by a wind style Rasengan. He roared in anger, "Ah!!!!!! Damn! You little insect, when I get up, I will definitely kill you!"
Minato used his full strength in this strike, causing not insignificant damage to the Third Raikage. But who was he? He was the Third Raikage, the strongest Raikage, the one who fought the Eight-Tails alone! Even injured, he could still stand up! Continue fighting!
After Minato's chakra was exhausted, Minato was riding on the Third Raikage's back. He grabbed a Flying Thunder God kunai, his eyes fierce, and slashed towards the Third Raikage's neck.
At that moment, the Third Raikage raised his left hand, blocking this fatal strike with his flesh. Pfft. Although the Flying Thunder God kunai successfully pierced his palm, such minor damage couldn't make the Third Raikage retreat.
The Third Raikage's chakra raged. Fierce lightning attribute chakra surged, blasting away Minato. Whoosh. Minato was blasted away three meters. Due to his exhausted chakra, his physical stamina was also affected, preventing him from neutralizing this move mid-air.
He landed heavily on the ground! His eyes held hatred, disappointment, and grief.
The Third Raikage stood up. With his right hand, he pulled the Flying Thunder God kunai out of his left hand. Bright red blood gushed out, but the Third Raikage seemed to feel no pain at all. "Tsk tsk, Konoha really has many geniuses. However, precisely because you are a genius, you are worth me taking action to end your life."
After saying this, the Third Raikage walked towards Minato. Each step seemed to tread on his heart, making his mind and spirit tremble. Minato struggled, wanting to get up and resist. The Third Raikage was in no hurry, slowly walking towards him.
Heh, Ryun Uchiha is dead. Let's see who can protect you now! The Third Raikage thought this, then suddenly his expression changed. Ryun Uchiha, killed by him? Something's wrong, something's wrong! How could it be so easy? And Ryun Uchiha clearly wasn't using his full strength.
His heart raced wildly now, a feeling of unease arising spontaneously. He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the direction where he had killed "Ryun Uchiha". He saw a wooden puppet kneeling on the ground, its head blown open with a large hole. He understood now!
"Not good!" The Third Raikage just cried out when the Kumo-nin under his command all knelt on the ground, unable to move. Then, one after another, they began to self-destruct and die.
The earlier eruption of the Lightning Armor and lightning attribute chakra had drastically reduced his sense of touch and pain. The feeling of the Two-Finger Nukite piercing the wooden puppet, he couldn't feel it at all, thinking it was real. Now it seemed, it was all fake!
The Kumo-nin all knelt on the ground, wanting to shout, but their throats seemed blocked by something. Beneath their feet was a pattern drawn by a huge golden lotus. Standing inside it, they felt themselves being squeezed and oppressed.
In the sky
Ryun Uchiha's eyes shone with golden light, devoid of any emotion, looking down upon the Kumo-nin on the field, a cruel expression on his face. This time, he did not start with the lowest level of pressure, but directly applied his full power.
Instantly, three thousand shinobi died violently, just like before, their bodies and bones gone without a trace, leaving only the Kumo forehead protectors symbolizing their identity! The Third Raikage saw this scene, his eyes cracking with rage! "Beast! Ryun Uchiha, as the Kage of a village, you actually ambush a shinobi army! Do you still want any face?"
"Oh? The YY King has come to his senses? Weren't you enjoying the joy of killing me, constantly erupting?" Ryun mocked. Then he stretched out one hand, aimed at the Third Raikage, and curled his lips upward. "Almighty Pull!"
A huge attractive force generated, pulling the Third Raikage's body towards his own direction. The Third Raikage was first startled, then realized this was Ryun Uchiha's jutsu!
Since you dare to pull me, don't blame me for using this force to kill you! The Third Raikage's eyes lit up. He extended both hands, each retracting four fingers. "Dual One-Finger Nukite!" he roared angrily.
Both hands carrying astonishing momentum, he charged rapidly towards Ryun Uchiha. However, how could Ryun not have a backup plan? His expression was indifferent. "Almighty Push." A repulsive force barrier spread out from around him in all directions.
The Dual One-Finger Nukite, upon contacting this repulsive force, did not pause for more than two seconds before being blasted away, flying towards the distant forest.
Ryun looked at him coldly, the corner of his mouth upturned. Just as he was about to chase after the Third Raikage, a figure charged towards the exhausted Minato. Minato's face changed drastically. Damn, at this moment he had actually become fish on the chopping block, which was hard for him to accept.
Ryun snorted coldly. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear in front of Minato, drew a ninja sword, and stabbed towards that figure. With a tearing sound, that figure was pierced through the chest by the ninja sword. Ryun kicked out, and the figure was sent flying.
"Sensei!" Minato's eyes filled with hot tears. He should have known his sensei would be fine! And his sensei even gave up pursuing the Raikage to save him!
Ryun now wore a smile, looking at Minato. His eyes returned to the form of the Mangekyō Sharingan. The ocular technique Samsara activated, rapidly treating the injuries on Minato's body and restoring his depleted chakra.
After Minato was fully recovered, he quickly stood up and bowed. "Thank you for saving my life, sensei!"
"It's nothing. The remaining Kumo-nin, I leave to you to handle! Your teacher needs to go see if that Raikage has gone far!" After saying this, Ryun patted Minato's shoulder, then darted toward the direction where the Raikage was blasted away.
Minato nodded, picked up his Flying Thunder God kunai, and threw them into the crowd of Kumo-nin!
