Weakening the Raikage

Nerf the Raikage (Please subscribe!)

"Charge!"

"So what if he's the Raikage? He's just one person. Ten thousand of us can't take him down in one fell swoop!"

The two sides were outnumbered 1:10,000, and their momentum was undoubtedly overwhelming.

The ninja army unleashed tens of thousands of Shuriken Ninjutsu, carpet-bombing the Raikage with a barrage of attacks. Even the Raikage, with his incredible speed, couldn't completely evade them.

That's why the Raikage had to use his signature move, "Lightning Release Chakra Mode," from the very beginning. By concentrating Lightning Release Chakra throughout his body, he covers his entire body with Chakra and lightning, activating his powers and enabling him to use Lightning Body Flicker, while also greatly enhancing his defensive capabilities. Furthermore, the intensity of this ability can be freely adjusted according to the increase or decrease of Chakra.

"Clang clang clang clang~" Braving a dense rain of Shuriken, the Raikage charged forward, leaving no place untouched. The ninja army suffered many casualties, but their numbers remained large.

Because of his previous battle with the Raikage, Kitsuchi is now in the rear, allowing the medical team to recover.

"It's about time the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and the Uchiha members took to the field, isn't it?"

"Hmph~ Lord Kitsuchi Tu has quite the scheme!" Juzo Biwa with a slightly cold expression. He thought to himself that Kitsuchi Tu had taken the initiative to accept the mission of delaying the Raikage head-on and fighting him one-on-one. In fact, Kitsuchi had long anticipated that the Raikage would not use his full strength in order to preserve his power. However, now that the Raikage was forced into a corner, he would fight with his back against the wall and would definitely do whatever it took. Kitsuchi could then use the excuse of being injured to retreat to the rear and temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

Although they were tricked by Kitsuchi during the battle planning, since they had already agreed to the plan, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had no choice but to abide by the rules and fight.

The Uchiha group was the same.

"Die! Take this!" A Mist Ninja from the Mist, wielding a water-style Chakra Blade surrounded by flowing water, attacked the Raikage from behind.

After being activated, Raikage's reflexes were exceptionally sharp, and he turned around and delivered a chop to the side.

"Crack~"

The Chakra Blade capable of cleaving rocks was easily cleaved in two by the Raikage with a single hand, while at the same time his fingers, like a spear, pierced the enemy's heart.

Immediately, the Raikage delivered a spinning kick, sending two Stone Ninja were attempting to ambush him flying.

However, just as Raikage was wreaking havoc, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water.

What he saw was a gigantic water dragon, several meters long, surging towards him!

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

"Whoosh~"

Raikage immediately used Lightning Release Body Flicker Technique, transforming into a bolt of lightning and flashing past.

However, the ninja army in front of him was too numerous, leaving very little space for the Raikage to relocate.

Just as the Raikage was being held back for a moment by a hundred-man ninja squad.

"Whoosh~"

Five enormous water dragons suddenly appeared, rushing towards him from all directions!

"This change in nature is not the Water Release used by an ordinary ninja!" The Raikage's eyes turned cold, clearly recognizing at a glance that the attacker was no ordinary person. However, the exceptionally brave Raikage's response was still the same domineering method: a direct, bare-handed confrontation!

"Hey!" With a loud shout, Raikage clenched his right fist and smashed a water dragon coming from the front. Then, he used his left hand to slap away a second water dragon coming from the side, smashed a third water dragon coming down from above with a powerful elbow, and kicked over a fourth water dragon that was biting down from the side.

The Raikage, with unparalleled ferocity, shattered four high-level Water Release attacks in succession, but...

"Bang!"

The fifth water dragon slammed into the Raikage's back. Protected by his sturdy Lightning Release Armor, it absorbed most of the damage, but the enormous impact still forced the Raikage back several steps.

The attackers were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. In order to further weaken the Raikage's power, they first resorted to long-range ninjutsu attacks.

He took a direct hit from a Water Dragon Bullet, but it didn't cause any real injury to the Raikage; it only caused a brief surge of Chakra within him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Raikage felt several more Kunai the shadows. He was originally unconcerned about this level of attack, but when the hidden weapons got closer, he realized something was wrong!

"The trajectory of these Kunai..." At the critical moment, the Raikage turned his head to the side and saw two Kunai almost graze his cheek. His vision tightened, and he clearly saw the Explosive Tag on the Kunai.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion.

With a "whoosh," a flash of lightning appeared, and Raikage reappeared unharmed on the other side.

The fact that he was forced to use Lightning Release Body Flicker Technique: Shurikenjutsu must have originated from the Uchiha Clan. The Raikage's heart sank slightly. Although his Lightning Release Armor could completely negate the damage from Explosive Tag at close range, absorbing such a large attack would require increasing the strength of the Lightning Release Armor, which would also cause more consumption of his own Chakra.

Although the Raikage has an enormous amount of Chakra, he still has to consider the issue of Chakra sustainability in the face of this protracted war.

Besides

The Raikage swept his sharp gaze across the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist not far away, then looked at the Uchiha members who had just thrown Kunai at him, memorizing their faces one by one.

The Raikage is also shrewd despite his rough exterior; someone who can inherit the title of Kage of a village can't be that unintelligent.

The people from Stone Ninja, Konoha, Mist Ninja wanted to use a large number of cannon fodder to deplete the Raikage's Chakra, while also having another objective: to further gather information about the Raikage.

Therefore, the Raikage also secretly gathers intelligence on noteworthy enemies during battles.

The Yellow Earth of Iwagakure, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and as for the Uchiha clan of Konoha, they seem to be only second-rate. The Raikage secretly calculated in his mind.

But just as Raikage was thinking this, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

There were two flying swords, one black and one white, aimed straight at his neck from the left and right sides!

Almost every member of the Cloud Ninja cultivates swordsmanship, and the Raikage is no exception. Therefore, he could immediately see the exquisite nature of the flying sword.

Surprised but not afraid, Raikage swiftly turned around and used his raging Lightning Release Chakra to forcefully deflect the two fierce flying swords that were aimed directly at his vitals!

"Clang, clang~" The flying sword, deflected, landed on the ground and then turned into dust and dissipated.

The Raikage instinctively turned his gaze towards the direction from which the flying sword had come, but found no attacker. He frowned, thinking to himself, "To keep up with my speed and to aim directly at the weakest point of my Lightning Release Armor —that requires incredibly sharp eyesight. Is this a hidden master of the Uchiha Clan, a user of Dōjutsu?"
