The Guardian Angel, also known as the "Resurrection Brother Chun's Armor Resurrection Armor," is passively triggered when the host suffers a fatal injury, granting it the terrifying ability to reverse life and death. [Read full text]

"Crack~" The pure white angel wings gradually disappeared from behind Shunren.

Like the Zhonya's Hourglass, this Guardian Angel possesses incredible power, but after using it once, it will be unable to project for a long period of time. Don't ask why; it's just part of the game's design.

Shunren, who was familiar with the original plot, knew from the beginning that the incomparably powerful Raikage died after fighting ten thousand ninjas for three days and three nights. In addition, the Raikage never used his ultimate technique, the One-Finger Nukite, from beginning to end. Therefore, Shunren had reason to believe that the Raikage's premature defeat was likely a fake death.

The Raikage's Lightning Illusion Secret Technique is no ordinary Genjutsu; even Shunren's Mitsudomoe Sharingan cannot see through it.

However, he did not expose the Raikage's plot on the spot, because with his strength it would be difficult to seize the best victory from Kitsuchi hands of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Therefore, he simply turned the tables and let the Raikage fight them to the death.

In order to preserve his trump card, Shunren was extremely patient. He dared to hold back in the bloody battle with the three Ninja Blades, which was undoubtedly courting death. In fact, that was the case, and the final result was that both sides were severely injured and perished together.

Guardian Angel: If this equipment hadn't been prepared beforehand, Shunren would have already perished.

After three days and three nights of bloody battle, and all the scheming and deception among the parties, it's finally time for it to come to an end!

However, in order to achieve final victory, the Shunren prepared more than just a Resurrection Armor.

"Yin Release: Projection!"

A deep red spear appeared in Shunren's hand, and its appearance immediately brought an extremely ominous aura.

Such an ominous feeling was bound to attract everyone's attention.

"Uchiha Shunren? You're still alive!" The remaining members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were shocked. The former had ruthlessly killed two of their comrades and driven away one of them, yet he was still alive. This was even more unbelievable than the Raikage's resurrection!

"Hmph! It seems someone shares the same idea as me." Raikage was initially startled, but he quickly regained his composure. His gaze was fixed on the spear in Shunren's hand, and then he frowned. "You, who are skilled in swordsmanship, have actually taken out a spear? This truly broadens my horizons."

Before he could finish speaking, Raikage's tone shifted. His body tensed, his weight concentrated on his feet, and he didn't adopt an attacking or defensive stance. His voice was cold as he said, "However, since you're using this as a trump card, it seems this weapon has hidden dangers. To be on the safe side, I won't take your attack head-on."

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also turned serious upon hearing this, thinking that the Raikage had really been pushed to the limit today. The Raikage, who was always brave and fearless, not only faked his death, but now he was even so timid and hesitant when dealing with a junior.

However, no one would underestimate this Raikage; on the contrary, he was even more terrifying!

"Come on! After I dodge your fatal blow, I'll finish you off with my full-power One-Finger Nukite -Hit Kill!" The Raikage made no attempt to conceal his next move, revealing his strategy to Shunren. This was also a source of pride for him as the Raikage. The fact that he, known as the Strongest Shield, dared not face the enemy's attack head-on was a great disgrace in itself, but as the leader of Kumogakure, he had no choice but to carefully preserve his life.

"I'm sorry, Raikage, this shot will pierce your heart; you have no chance to fight back."

Despite Raikage's famous advice to avoid his attacks, Shunren remained unwavering, his face radiating confidence in the impending strike.

Shunren stood to one side, his hands gripping the spear tightly, and then crimson energy erupted from the spearhead, covering the entire shaft.

"The Gáe Bolg: Spear That Pierces with Death!"

No preparation or fancy moves are needed; simply thrust the gun forward with all your might.

"Chirp~"

Like a laser cannon, blood-red light waves shot out from the tip of the gun at high speed, but not to an exaggerated degree that was unavoidable.

Raikage's eyes flickered. In a battle between experts, the moment of attack is all it takes. He clearly felt the spear blade hurtling towards him, but its power didn't seem as terrifying as he had imagined; it was merely a sharp thrust. However, as he had said before, to be on the safe side, he chose to dodge Shunren's attack immediately.

"Whoosh~"

In the blink of an eye, Raikage's extreme speed flashed, and his figure retreated more than a hundred feet away in an instant.

But

A sudden numbness shot through his chest, and Raikage's pupils constricted sharply!

"Pfft~"

The crimson spear pierced Raikage's heart, then violently lifted it into the air.

With a single strike, Shunren withdrew his spear, sighing, "From the moment you chose to evade, your defeat was inevitable."

This spear is named Gaebolg, and it comes from the Noble Phantasm of the Fate Servant Cú Chulainn. It is a weapon of causality, a technique that reverses the "cause and effect" that signifies the order of things. At the moment it is released, the "effect" of "the opponent's heart being pierced" is created first. The "cause" of "because the heart is pierced, the spear must have hit" occurs afterward.

Because the spear has already "pierced the opponent's heart" when it is released, no matter how fast the Raikage is, he cannot cancel its trajectory. Even if the target escapes to the ends of the Tianya, the unleashed demonic spear will automatically track them down and pierce their heart from a thousand miles away!

The first way to counter this spear is to desperately escape its locked-on range before Shunren assumes the stance to unleash the "Gáe Bolg: Spear That Pierces with Death." The second requires possessing the Resurrection Armor ability of the dead, like Shunren, or being inherently immortal. The third way is purely based on luck—this is no joke. Gaebolg is a cursed spear, imbued with an ominous aura; if the target has strong luck, they might be able to avoid this fatal blow.

Shunren thought to himself that this fatal blow could not be used carelessly, because the more times it was used, the greater the possibility of his ability being exposed. Just like Pain, although his ability was very powerful, he was defeated in the invasion of Konoha because he recklessly used his trump cards. Konoha used a human wave tactic to obtain valuable information, which ultimately led to his defeat.

"Thump~"

That terrifying man, who fought for three days and three nights without falling, and who dared to fight back even when surrounded and beaten by ten thousand people, was lifted into the air by the spear of death. His once invincible body was now powerless, and he finally fell to the ground.
