Chapter 99: Battle against the Fourth Raikage, the Ninja Sword shatters, and everyone admires him!
Shen Yue opened the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, further increasing his speed.
He unleashed the fastest speed of his life, the fastest he had ever achieved.
"Uchiha-style swordsmanship!"
Shen Yue drew a bright crescent arc with her blade, precisely slashing at the Fourth Raikage who was charging like a giant dragon.
However, the Fourth Raikage was completely unfazed by his slash.
They didn't even try to dodge.
Instead, their fingers joined together like knives, striking down like a thunderbolt.
clang!
Between the clash of hand blades and ninja swords.
It produced a sound like metal clashing.
Click!
Fine cracks instantly appeared on the ninja sword in Shen Yue's hand.
The Fourth Raikage's body, strengthened by the Lightning Armor, is stronger than ordinary ninja tools.
"What an amazing physique! It's a pity that my sword is just an ordinary ninja sword. If it were a Kusanagi sword, it definitely wouldn't have shattered, and it could even have cut off the Fourth Raikage's arm!" Shingetsu sighed inwardly when he saw that even his ninja sword, which had been with him for so long, had been cracked.
next moment.
The Fourth Raikage changed his attack again, turning his palm into a fist, like a cannonball firing straight at his face.
If this blow lands...
Kamizuki felt that even with the healing ability of Hashirama's cells, he would still be torn to pieces.
However, he did possess the Sharingan after all.
Even with three tomoe, it's already somewhat lagging behind the Fourth Raikage's speed, but it can still get a general idea.
At this moment, his combat experience came into play, and he did not choose to fight head-on.
The Sharingan spun rapidly, barely managing to catch the Raikage's trajectory, which was almost beyond the limits of his eye power. The chakra beneath Shingetsu's feet exploded, and he moved like lightning, retreating rapidly towards the mountains far from the supply point.
"Is that all you think you can do? You think you can kill me, Fourth Raikage?" Shingetsu's speed was also astonishing, instantly flying backward over a hundred meters.
"Don't even think about running!" the Raikage roared, pushing his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit, increasing his speed even further, like a blue lightning bolt tearing through the sky, relentlessly pursuing him.
"Since that's the case, I'll add a little something extra!" As she retreated, Shen Yue's hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and she unleashed a ninjutsu without looking back.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!" A massive dragon-shaped flame composed of blazing white flames roared out, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on the pursuing Raikage.
"Why would I be afraid of such a ninjutsu?" The Raikage neither dodged nor evaded, his lightning armor flashing as he smashed the fire dragon with his body. The scattered flames leaped and annihilated on his body, leaving only wisps of smoke and a few burn marks. His speed was almost unaffected.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Shen Yue formed hand seals again, and a fierce gale howled out, whipping up sand, stones, and withered branches from the ground to form a barrier that obstructed the view.
However, the Fourth Raikage was still like a dragon, directly breaking through the wind wall with brute force. His body was covered in dust, but his eyes became even more ferocious.
"We don't have any powerful ninjutsu to break through his defenses right now!"
Shenyue sighed inwardly.
At this moment, facing a Kage-level powerhouse who is truly unleashing his full power.
Only then did he realize how terrifying the other party was.
Orochimaru was actually harder to kill than the Fourth Raikage.
However, Orochimaru is a typical example of someone with high defense but low attack.
And I didn't use my full strength last time either.
This Fourth Raikage is different.
Shen Yue could see it.
This time, the other side is really going all out.
However, he wasn't too panicked.
After all, he had previously been aware of the Fourth Raikage's terrifying power.
At that moment, Shingetsu carefully observed how the Fourth Raikage dealt with his ninjutsu, fighting and retreating simultaneously.
At the same time, he constantly used the Body Flicker Technique to change direction at high speed in the mountains and forests, while using Fire Release and Wind Release ninjutsu to interfere and restrain others from a distance.
The Fourth Raikage, however, relentlessly pursued him.
Fortunately, his Body Flicker Technique was exquisite, and his physical attributes, fused with Hashirama's cells, provided him with astonishing explosive power and endurance, allowing him to narrowly escape the Raikage's pursuit every time.
However, the Raikage's speed was terrifying. Even with Shingetsu's Body Flicker Technique and Sharingan prediction, he was almost grazed by the lightning-encased fists several times. The wind from the fists swept past, causing him to feel a stinging pain on his skin and his robes to tear.
"Such power and speed! Is this the oppressive feeling of a Kage-level fighter?" Shingetsu thought with a chill, his desire for power burning even brighter. He also executed the plan to lure the enemy more calmly, leading the enraged Fourth Raikage step by step away from the supply point.
On a distant high ground, Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, Might Guy, Hiashi Hyuga, and Hizashi Hyuga witnessed firsthand the brief but thrilling chase and clash of ninjutsu between Shingetsu and the Fourth Raikage.
"Is that the power of the Fourth Raikage?" Kurenai Yuhi covered her mouth, her red eyes filled with shock.
The Fireball was blasted apart by a single punch, the Phoenix Claw was ignored, and even the Dragon Fire Technique could only slightly slow its progress. That ferocious attitude of crushing everything with pure power and speed was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
"It's too fast, so fast that even the White Eyes are struggling to keep up."
"And I've never seen anyone with such a massive amount of chakra!"
"It's far more massive than Shingetsu-kun's chakra, roughly equivalent to a dozen Kakashis!" Hyuga Hizashi activated his Byakugan, veins bulging around his white eyes, his tone grave.
He could see the intense and violent lightning chakra within the Raikage's body, as blazing as the sun.
"Have I become a unit of measurement for chakra?" Kakashi felt helpless upon hearing this.
"The captain's Body Flicker Technique is already that advanced, yet he's still being held firmly!" Asuma had long since put aside his resentment towards Shingetsu, and instead felt deep worry and admiration.
He asked himself, if it were him, he would probably have been defeated by the Raikage's terrifying speed and power in the very first encounter.
"Is this the kind of strong person who can fight Minato-sensei without being defeated?!" Kakashi's Sharingan was fixed on the two figures chasing and fleeing in the distance, constantly bursting with brilliant ninjutsu light. His Sharingan unconsciously rotated, trying to analyze the two's movements, his heart filled with worry for Shingetsu.
He understood that Shenyue was risking her life to buy them time.
"Now I finally understand why the captain personally lured away the Raikage. If any of us had gone up there, we would have been instantly defeated by the Raikage! So, we cannot let the captain's sacrifice go to waste! Youth does not allow us to hesitate here!" Might Guy pounded his chest, his eyes burning with raging flames, and he was also very worried about Shingetsu's fate.
"That's right, Shingetsu-kun, he's sacrificing himself to cover us!" Hiashi Hyuga, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma, and the others all choked up at this moment.
After all, Shingetsu's actions were truly remarkable.
Who says all Uchiha are crazy?
"We cannot let Shingetsu-kun's sacrifice be in vain. We must act immediately!" Hiashi Hyuga ordered in a deep voice, his tone resolute.
"Alright!" Without further hesitation, the six of them swooped down from the high ground like arrows, heading straight for the Cloud Village supply point in the valley below, which was almost undefended because the God Moon had drawn away the Raikage.
