Raikage vs. 10,000 Ninjas!
Raikage VS 10,000 Ninjas! (Fourth update!)
"Those bastards from Stone Ninja have managed to muster six thousand men. What's going on? Ōnoki isn't here, which means they're still locked in a standoff with Sand Ninja. So where did they get so many ninja? Unless they brought in troops from the Land of Grass too..."
Faced with such a perilous situation, the Raikage remained calmer than ever before, quickly rethinking his strategy.
First, the only place capable of gathering so many ninjas so quickly is the Land of Grass, which is closest to here. The Land of Grass is the battlefield where the Stone Ninja and Konoha are fighting. If the Stone Ninja were to move this force to the Land of Frost, it would mean that the Stone Ninja and Konoha have reached a ceasefire agreement.
The worst-case scenario is that Konoha has already allied with Stone Ninja and even sent a force to the Land of Frost!
If Konoha wanted to deceive them and send troops to infiltrate the Land of Frost, then the first thing they would have to do was to deal with the Cloud Ninja's "radar," which is why the incident of the sensing troops being sniped in the camp occurred!
Thinking of this, Raikage's expression turned quite grim, and he immediately ordered his men, "Order the troops in the camp to retreat immediately!"
"But the Stone Ninja here..." The Cloud Ninja looked troubled. There were currently six thousand Stone Ninja watching them; how could they allow themselves to retreat so easily?
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll personally cover your retreat!" Raikage declared domineeringly. "Once I've dealt with these ants, I'll rejoin you!"
"Yes, Lord Raikage!" Out of their unwavering trust in their great leader, the Cloud Ninja obeyed the Raikage's orders without hesitation.
After giving all these instructions, the Raikage turned around and looked directly at the Stone Ninja of Iwa ninja opposite him.
Kitsuchi said calmly, "Has the Third A already given his last words?"
"Arrogant! You think six thousand ants are enough to deal with me?" Despite his words, the Raikage activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his entire body enveloped in raging lightning!
"Furthermore, regardless of the outcome of your battle with me, you already know how many of these six thousand men are left." At this moment, the Raikage used his cunning to try and sway the Stone Ninja's resolve with words.
"People generally say the Raikage is a brute, but he's actually surprisingly shrewd beneath his rough exterior," Kitsuchi said with a hint of surprise, then shook his head. "You're right. For my Stone Ninja clan alone to surround and kill you would come at too high a price, so..."
Upon hearing this, the Raikage's expression grew even more grim.
Kitsuchi raised his hand, made a gesture, and shouted, "Guards of Konoha and Mist Ninja, isn't it time to go into battle?"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Thousands of ninjas suddenly appeared from both sides of the Raikage, one side from Konoha and the other from Mist Ninja.
From the moment the Stone Ninja dared to mobilize so many troops, the Raikage had already roughly guessed that Konoha would definitely intervene. What surprised him was that the Mist Ninja, far away overseas, would also participate in the war. However, thinking about it, it was understandable, after all, the Third Mizukage of Mist Ninja had died at the Raikage's hands, so it was only natural for them to retaliate.
What truly worries the Raikage is that the Mist Ninja's participation in the war will inevitably require them to pass through the Land of Fire, which means that the Mist Ninja and Konoha have already reached a secret agreement. With the Stone Ninja, Konoha, and Mist Ninja joining forces, the Cloud Ninja will be in serious trouble.
"The Uchiha Clan of Konoha, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist Ninja... Haha! It seems your fear of me runs deep!" Facing the imposing ninjas from Stone Ninja, Konoha, Mist Ninja, the Raikage showed no fear, instead letting out a wild laugh!
However, Kitsuchi wanted to add another layer of psychological pressure to the Raikage at this moment, coldly saying, "And there are the Sarutobi Clan and Aburame Clan of Konoha, as well as the Mist Ninja and Hozuki Clan Kaguya Clan."
They were now splitting into two groups, blocking the Cloud Ninja's retreat route. In this battle, the entire elite Cloud Ninja of the Land of Frost, including the Third A, would be annihilated! "Haha!" The Raikage, instead of being angry, laughed and shouted, "I believe in my men! Just as they believe in me! Enough talk, let's fight! I will show you what true fear is!"
An earth-shattering aura, a murderous intent that terrifies even ghosts and gods, and a terrifying amount of Chakra were released from the Raikage's body!
One person faced tens of thousands of Stone Ninja, Konoha, and Mist Ninja, and for a moment he overwhelmed the courage of most of them!
Kitsuchi's expression was solemn, and none of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist changed color.
"This is the true power of Kage Level expert!"
Although they are only one step away from the Kage Level, this seemingly small difference is like an insurmountable chasm.
The Raikage's domineering aura even trembled the usually arrogant Uchiha members, and Shunren, hidden among them, couldn't help but shudder, though he quickly regained his composure. He muttered to himself, "The Third Raikage, without a doubt, is a top-tier shinobi of our time, ranking among the best even within the Kage Level. In terms of individual strength, even the Sannin of Konoha might not be his match..."
Of course, it's true that the Raikage, who is fearless and reckless, is much easier to deal with than Orochimaru, who dwells in the shadows.
Shunren's eyes flashed with a chilling light as he stared at Raikage. He then slightly opened his palm, revealing the incomparably ferocious crimson bead— the Bloodthirsty Bead. A demonic treasure that enhances oneself by plundering the lives of others!
Whether you can grow stronger by stepping on the giant's corpse depends on this battle!
In order to be able to fight against Kage Level powerhouse, Shunren needs to make more thorough preparations.
"Yin Release: Projection!"
With a wave of his hand, Kitsuchi Tu's icy voice echoed across the arena, "Hunting the Raikage, begin!"
In an instant, the Stone Ninja, Konoha, and Mist Ninja joined forces. Regardless of the Raikage's momentum, the sheer number of ninjas was overwhelming, like dark clouds pressing down on a city, threatening to crush it!
"Sizzle~" But even faster than ten thousand ninjas, the Raikage met them head-on with lightning speed!
A deafening burst of lightning!
The Raikage transformed into a speeding war chariot, violently charging into the ninja army!
"Crackling sounds~"
The horrifying sound of bones breaking immediately filled the arena. Anyone touched by the Raikage suffered the best possible fate: broken bones and tendons. Even worse, some were struck head-on by the Raikage's punch, their bodies instantly turning into a cloud of blood mist and exploding!
The ninjas' attacks, whether weapons or Ninjutsu, were all blocked by the Raikage's dazzling lightning armor. Those who dared to touch it with their bare hands and feet were instantly electrocuted into charred remains by the violent power of the Lightning Release!
