The Raikage vs. the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist

Raikage vs. Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist (Please subscribe)

Bankai: Tensa Zangetsu divides the Zanpakuto's power into two parts. One part transforms into the Shihakusho, which is red on the inside and black on the outside, allowing Shunren to perform super-fast movement and reflexes. The other part is condensed into a small Chakra with extremely high Zanpakuto density, maximizing the physical destructive power of the slash.

However, despite this, Shunren created using the power of Yin Release was merely a counterfeit. Its quality was a level lower than the original, and it could not achieve the original's full power. Moreover, it consumed a great deal of his own energy.

Therefore, Shunren's projection this time concentrated most of his Chakra into his Shihakusho, which greatly weakened the power of his Zanpakuto.

"Swish swish swish~"

During the clash of speed between Shunren and Raikage, most of the people present didn't see anything, only vaguely sensing something from the turbulent air currents.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by Raikage's deep, thoughtful voice, "To be able to match my speed in this state, just how do you...?"

A dark shadow swept past, Shunren's voice slowly drifted over, "Do you understand now? Trying to defeat me in a short time is futile."

"Hmph! You think this is all I've got?" Even afterimages were invisible; under the extreme movement of Raikage, only his voice came from all directions.

"Perhaps, but it's undeniable that if you go all out against me, the price you'll pay will be enormous. Are you sure you really want to fight me to the death right now? Of course, even if you're desperate to eliminate me first, you'll have to be able to do it."

Shunren never intended to fight the Raikage to the death from the beginning. He used Tensa Zangetsu only to make the Raikage back down. He did not draw his sword or use the Black Crescent Moon, which was greatly enhanced by his Bankai. He relied solely on the extreme speed granted by his Shihakusho to evade the Raikage's attacks.

"Sizzle~"

A flash of lightning appeared, and the rapidly moving figure of the Raikage finally came to a stop.

"Whoosh~"

A shadowy figure flashed, and Shunren's figure slowly appeared in everyone's sight. His breathing was slightly rapid, but he quickly calmed himself down, looked at Raikage not far away, and said softly, "A wise choice, Raikage."

"Hoo~" The Raikage let out a deep breath. This subtle movement showed that he had expended a lot of energy using his full Lightning Release technique. Then, his hair, which had been standing on end, slowly drooped down. He gave Shunren a complicated look and said in a deep voice, "The ninja world really is full of talented people."

"It's merely borrowed power, nothing to be concerned about."

With a gentle pinch of his fingers, Shunren's Shihakusho and the Tensa Zangetsu in his hand turned into dust and vanished.

As long as the Raikage realizes that he cannot defeat him in a short time and backs down, Shunren's goal will be achieved. For this reason, he also voluntarily disarmed Tensa Zangetsu.

The entire confrontation between Shunren and Raikage, from their initial fierce clash to their current mutual cessation, took only a few minutes. The sudden turn of events left everyone somewhat bewildered.

"Uchiha Shunren is another troublesome character," Kitsuchi muttered to himself.

"This guy actually used such a method to force the Raikage to retreat. If the Raikage can't handle him, he'll definitely turn his attention to us!" The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist also looked somewhat ashen. Being intelligent, they could naturally see what was going on at a glance.

This was also Shunren's blatant, overt scheme, telling Raikage, "I'm not someone to mess with; go deal with someone else."

However, they were unable to protest at this moment because it was the Raikage who chose whom to target, and they had stood by and gloated when Shunren fought the Raikage. Now they had even less reason to ask Shunren for their assistance.

Shunren turned his gaze to Kitsuchi and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Well then, Stone Ninja and Mist Ninja, I'll go back to the rear to recover. You all have a good fight with the Raikage!"

Shunren, with the help of the Raikage, used a strategy of using one force to weaken Kitsuchi and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Although the Raikage was well aware that he had been tricked by Shunren, from his perspective, quickly seizing one side and eliminating it first was his most basic tactic.

Considering that Kitsuchi was proficient in defensive techniques and would not be easily defeated, the Raikage ultimately decided to target the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist the Mist!

Without hesitation, the Raikage made up his mind and immediately headed towards the location of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist.

"Sizzle~"

His figure transformed once again into a streak of lightning, hurtling through everything in his path!

"Damn it! Stop him!" Suikazan Fuguki shouted, ordering the Mist Ninja cannon fodder to attack.

But cannon fodder is cannon fodder; the role of a minor character cannot stop Raikage for even a moment.

"It's too late, let's do it!" Juzo Biwa was the first to draw his Kubikiribōchō, and the others followed suit, drawing their own Ninja Blade.

In an instant, Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist appeared and confronted the Raikage head-on!

The first to attack head-on was Juzo Biwa. He Kubikiribōchō tightly with both hands, raised it to a 75-degree angle, and sprinted forward, releasing an aura different from Chakra —or rather, killing intent—as he swung it down towards the Raikage's head.

"Broken Blade Technique: Demon Slayer Blade!"

The Raikage responded by bringing his hands together in front of him, trapping the former's Kubikiribōchō between his palms.

"Whoosh~"

With a slight lift of his arm, a sharp longsword pierced through Raikage's shoulder, followed by a thin steel wire connecting the blade.

Kushimaru Kuriarare with his five fingers and snorted coldly, "Longsword Technique - Returning Injury!"

Suddenly, the long sword that had been dodged spun sharply and stabbed towards the Raikage's back.

"Snap!" With Raikage reflexes, Raikage kicked the longsword away without even turning his head.

"Greatsword Technique: Flying Slash!"

Meanwhile, Suikazan Fuguki's Samehada hilt swiftly extended, aiming horizontally at the Raikage's waist.

"Snort!"

With a Raikage, Raikage forcefully snatched the Kubikiribōchō from Juzo Biwa's hands!

"Clang!" The Raikage used the Kubikiribōchō he had seized to slice down the flying Samehada.

Just then, a powerful blow came from the sky, wielding a giant axe by the Jinin Akebino!

"Blunt Blade Technique: Annihilation Strike!"

Raikage parried the giant Kubikiribōchō Executioner's Blade in one hand. His first strike was as steady as a mountain, but when faced with the follow-up heavy blow from Jinin Akebino's hammer, his wrist trembled involuntarily. Although he managed to withstand it, the Kubikiribōchō in his hand could not withstand the enormous force from both sides, and the blade split open in the middle.

"Damn it! My Kubikiribōchō!" Seeing his beloved weapon destroyed, Juzo Biwa was naturally furious. He immediately pulled out a Kunai from his pocket, instantly condensing water into Chakra Blade, and threw it at the Raikage.

The Raikage flipped his hand and threw the broken Kubikiribōchō as if it were a lump of iron, knocking away Juzo Biwa's Chakra Blade.

"Explosive Blade Technique: Mortar!"

The Raikage's fist collided head-on with Munashi Jinpachi's Exploding Blade Shibuki!

"Boom!"

The massive explosion sent the Raikage flying, Munashi Jinpachi's hands were split open by the Raikage's fist.

Yuki Kan, wielding Hiramekarei, unleashed Chakra orb that had been gathering power for a long time!

Dual Blade Technique: Lightning Flash!

The Raikage's battle against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist was exceptionally fierce, and the visual impact was far more intense than his battle with Shunren.

The dazzling array of sword techniques before him were all absorbed by Shunren's Sharingan!
