The Raikage Runs Out of Strength?
Is the Raikage exhausted? (Please subscribe)
"Damn it! This isn't what the intelligence said! Who said the Raikage was old? This guy's got plenty of energy!" Juzo Biwa with a face full of embarrassment, looking at the Kubikiribōchō broken in two in his hand, feeling even more heartache.
"Coo coo~"
The hilt of Samehada bent and struck Suikazan Fuguki's wrist, seemingly in protest.
Suikazan Fuguki, on the other hand, was irritated and angrily cursed, "What? You say you don't like Lightning Release Chakra? You bastard, you dare disobey your master's orders on a mere item?"
"What the hell is that thing made of? My Blunt Sword Double Strike only managed to cut a small gash!" As he spoke, Jinin Akebino clutched his chest, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. In his attempt to attack the Raikage, he himself had suffered several broken ribs from the opponent's punches.
The great battle between the Raikage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist lasted from the night of the first day until noon of the second day.
On the surface, the Raikage still didn't seem exhausted, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the Lightning Release Armor surrounding him was becoming much thinner.
At the same time, it was no longer unscathed. No matter how tough it was, after continuously resisting the repeated attacks of the Seven Great Swords of the Mist Ninja, even the Strongest Shield would develop cracks, and its body would be covered with wounds and bloodstains.
However, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist on the other side appeared to be in a much worse state, with each of the seven suffering injuries of varying degrees and their Chakra being greatly depleted.
However, behind the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist stood an entire army's medical corps, which meant that although they were all badly wounded in their battle with the Raikage, none of them were completely defeated.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist naturally wouldn't fight the Raikage to the death. Seeing that they couldn't defeat Raikage, they retreated.
Suikazan Fuguki shouted at Kitsuchi, who was AFK nearby, "You guys have had enough, it's time to step in!"
"Alright, I understand. You Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist may step back for now." Kitsuchi knew that the other party wouldn't really fight the Raikage to the death, but it was a pity that the Raikage seemed to have spared his strength and hadn't been able to finish off the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
"Next, let the lower-ranking men take over, and wear him down for another day!"
In an instant, the combat changed from small-team fighting to the original army formation fighting.
Hundreds and thousands of ninjas formed square formations, taking turns attacking the Raikage.
The Raikage is like a giant, mired in a quagmire; no matter how many people he kills, countless enemies will always come to his aid.
After the fierce battle the previous day, the Raikage killed thousands of ninjas from Stone Ninja, Konoha, and Mist Ninja, but there were still about six thousand ninjas left. However, those ninjas with mid-level strength and Kekkei Genkai were almost all killed by the Raikage, except for less than ten Shunren Uchiha, and they were all seriously injured and no longer able to fight.
There is no doubt that the Raikage's situation remains precarious. He has a large number of cannon fodder ninjas, and none of his main commanders, such as Kitsuchi, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, or Uchiha Shunren, have been defeated.
The Raikage was helpless in this situation. In a one-on-one fight, he could overwhelmingly crush anyone present with his power. However, facing a superior enemy force, the Raikage had to consider the sustainability of his Chakra. Like against Shunren, even with Shunren using Tensa Zangetsu, the Raikage was not without the ability to defeat him. Shunren was well aware of this, otherwise Shunren would have already challenged the Raikage to a duel. What truly made the Raikage back down was the immense cost of defeating Shunren; after one battle, another would immediately follow. The enemy would not give him any respite.
And so the battle continued until the third day.
The battlefield was littered with corpses, and blood stained the earth, even forming streams. The air was thick with the stench of blood.
"Thump~" Raikage knelt down on one knee, his face pale and his breath coming in gasps.
The ninja army also suffered heavy casualties, with nearly five thousand people losing their lives at the hands of the Raikage. Most of the survivors were wounded and their fighting spirit was greatly diminished.
However, on the other side, after a day of rest, whether it was Stone Ninja's Kitsuchi, Konoha's Shunren, or Mist Ninja's Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they had all basically recovered to a large extent.
Kitsuchi stepped forward first, his gaze coldly fixed on Raikage, and said in a deep voice, "It seems this is the end, Third A."
Raikage, who was kneeling on one knee, suddenly raised his head, a flash of lightning in his eyes.
The figure arrived in front of Kitsuchi with astonishing speed, channeling all his strength into his left arm and unleashing a fierce punch!
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"
The Cloud Ninja Style Nintaijutsu is one of the Raikage's secret techniques.
"Boom!" The Kitsuchi was completely blasted apart by the person, then turned into rubble and Earth Clone.
"Your senses are starting to dull, Third A!" Kitsuchi Earth appeared behind the Raikage, his hands forming a hand seal, "Earth Release: Fist Rock Technique!"
A large amount of earth-style Chakra condensed in his hand, forming a huge rock fist, which slammed hard into the Raikage's back.
"Bang!"
The Raikage's Chakra seemed to be depleted, and his Lightning Release Armor was barely visible before being shattered by Kitsuchi's punch.
The Third Raikage Cloud Ninja, who possessed the dual titles of the Strongest Spear and the Strongest Shield, collapsed helplessly to the ground like a tiger fallen into a pit.
With a flick of his fingers, Kitsuchi coalesced into a sharp stone spear in his hand. He slowly walked up to the Raikage and coldly said, "It's over. Third A, you have nothing to be ashamed of, dying by my hand."
However, just as Kitsuchi was about to deliver the final blow to Raikage, suddenly his eyes turned cold, and he tilted his head to the side.
"Clang~" A sharp blade flashed past his neck, almost touching the Kitsuchi, and landed at his feet.
"Crack!" A layer of mud and gravel shattered at his neck, Kitsuchi suddenly turned his head. "Uchiha Shunren, what do you mean by this?"
Shunren, wielding two swords, slowly walked towards his opponent. "Excuse me, may I deliver the final blow to Raikage?"
"Sure, but after you kill him, you must hand over the body to us, the Mist Ninja." The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also Earth Flow, each carrying a sword, with ill intent.
A ninja's corpse is a huge treasure, and the corpse of a Kage Level ninja is naturally a priceless gem. By dissecting it, one can obtain many secrets of Ninjutsu contained within it.
The Mist Ninja's involvement in this operation, besides seeking revenge against the Raikage, is primarily aimed at retrieving his corpse!
Kitsuchi's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said coldly, "It seems our turn for war has arrived."
The Stone Ninja expended enormous manpower and resources in their hunt for the Raikage, and the fruits of their victory were naturally not to be taken by anyone else.
While the Konoha authorities did not have any specific requirements in this regard, Shunren personally had a reason to kill the Raikage.
Bloodthirsty Bead!
He wants to seize the Raikage's life essence!
