In this short period of time, Sasuke regained his confidence.
Honestly, I thought I was weak when I fought Killer B before, but now it seems I'm still as strong as ever.
Now that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has come before me again, I'll make sure he suffers a terrible fate.
[Shisui: Ah, Sasuke so confident? Why isn't he running away now that he's about to be discovered?]
[Rasa: Tch, what's the point of running? The other side is just the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and elite guards from each village. These people are nothing in Sasuke's eyes.]
Rasa said sarcastically, "Look at how Sasuke is, how could he possibly take you guys seriously?"
[Itachi: I have a feeling something bad is going to happen.]
It's not that Itachi lacked confidence in his younger brother; the enemy was simply too strong. Pain n't dare to carry rice here with such a lineup.
Even Pain wouldn't dare to act tough here, Sasuke you think you can?
"Kid, let me show you my wrath!" The Raikage, who had just arrived, started taking off his clothes without saying a word.
Sasuke ignored his teammates' advice, picked up his weapon, and charged forward.
However, they were easily stopped by Xi and Darui.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!" At this moment, Xi's entire body began to glow, successfully blocking Sasuke's vision.
At the same time, the Fourth Raikage rushed to Sasuke's side and slammed Sasuke into the ground with a heavy blow.
At this moment, the other members of Taka were filled with worry. How could Sasuke be so easily defeated...?
"Seriously? That's it? That's it? You can't even last one round against the Fourth Raikage?" Hozuki Mangetsu joked.
"That's Genjutsu!" Sasuke activated his Sharingan and tried to warn the others, but the real Raikage and Darui had already arrived beside Sasuke.
"Prepare to die!"
"Sinai!"
Sasuke was caught off guard and had no time to defend himself, but Suigetsu rushed forward and blocked the Raikage's attack with his Kubikiribōchō.
However, the immense force still caused Suigetsu to sink directly into the ground, and even the Kubikiribōchō was split in two by the powerful impact.
"Wow, that's powerful?" Obito exclaimed in surprise.
The Kubikiribōchō can be broken just like that? Raikage, you must have some sense of propriety.
"Itachi? Can you please stop letting your little brother provoke these random guys? Why is it always your little brother who's showing off, while my little brother gets beaten up along with him?" Hozuki Mangetsu complained.
That's not fair! Every time it's Suigetsu who has to come to Sasuke's rescue. Can't you let your brother keep a low profile? Kill Danzo and save Danzo, does he have to make such a big fuss?
Sasuke declared, "This isn't over until you guys beat me up today."
"Chidori!"
"Severe gust!"
The sounds of birdsong and thunder mingled together, and the two collided head-on.
Sasuke's Chidori almost pierced through the Raikage's incredibly sturdy Lightning Release Armor, but it was only a close call.
The Raikage, however, held Sasuke's body tightly with both hands.
"That's quite an impressive Ninjutsu!" It was clear that the Fourth Raikage also acknowledged Sasuke's talent in Lightning Release, but Sasuke was still destined to die.
"Liger Bomb!" The Raikage lifted Sasuke's body and slammed it onto the ground beside him.
The enormous impact created a huge crater in the ground.
[Dodai: Was that Lord Raikage's Liger Bomb? Anyone hit by that would have a very low chance of survival.]
At this moment, everyone's expressions started to look strange. Weren't they supposed to be taking stock of Sasuke? Why is he either getting beaten up or on his way to get beaten up?
On the one hand, they act like the toughest guys, and on the other hand, they take the worst beatings.
All I can say is that you truly are the king of Konoha's Pretentious King.
In the scene, Sasuke's body is covered by an external soul bone made of purple skulls, and it is the purple skulls that helped Sasuke withstand the attack.
"The Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Facing the Fourth Raikage, whose body was fully activated, Sasuke's Sharingan could hardly detect him.
"Come on, kid!"
Sasuke's Mangekyou Mangekyō began to spin wildly, accompanied by blood trickling from his eyes.
"Amaterasu!"
However, the Fourth Raikage dodged the attack with his incredible speed and quickly closed in on Sasuke Uchiha.
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"
At this moment, Sasuke couldn't catch a glimpse of his opponent, and Amaterasu couldn't hit him at all.
At this moment, Sasuke quickly released Amaterasu's flames onto Susanoo's armor to stop the opponent's attack.
[Fugaku: Using Amaterasu's flames to stop the enemy's attack? Not a bad idea.]
Even Fugaku praised him, saying that Sasuke's fighting spirit seemed quite strong, and that his opponent couldn't possibly be aiming for a one-for-one exchange.
"Maybe, after all, that person is the Lord Raikage!" Dodai said worriedly. Others might not know, but he certainly Lord Raikage.
"Don't underestimate the Raikage!"
As expected, the Fourth Raikage completely disregarded Amaterasu and struck Sasuke's Susanoo with an elbow, sending Sasuke flying more than ten meters away.
Susanoo did not protect him from all the damage. Sasuke was spitting out blood, as if he had suffered a very serious injury.
The Fourth Raikage's arm was also stained with terrifying black flames.
"Die, Guillotine Drop!" The Fourth Raikage leaped into the air, about to stomp down hard in the next moment.
At this moment, Sasuke once again covered himself with Kagutsuchi, because he knew that if he were hit by this attack, he would die!
But the Fourth Raikage doesn't care about any of that. So what if it's trading injury for life? Anyone who's afraid of that is a coward.
At the critical moment, Gaara quickly intervened and stopped the Raikage's final attack.
"Why are you stopping me? If you don't give me a reason, I won't let you off the hook!" The Raikage looked at Gaara.
"If you keep fighting, the black flames will only further erode your body!" Gaara clearly didn't want to see the two of them fight to the death.
If the Raikage dies here, Kumogakure will definitely not let it go. At that point, who will care about the Akatsuki?
As for Sasuke, all I can say is that Gaara didn't want Naruto to be too upset, though of course, this reason couldn't be revealed.
[Kushina: Mikoto, look at that! Look at Kazekage!]
They're both friends, so why is there such a big difference? Naruto would get beaten to a pulp for Sasuke's sake, while Gaara would even save Naruto from the Raikage just to keep him from being upset.
The difference became immediately apparent.
At that moment, the Raikage swiftly chopped off his left hand without hesitation.
At this time, Gaara still felt great sympathy for Sasuke. He believed that Sasuke, like himself, was filled with killing and hatred in pursuit of power.
"Don't let hatred blind you!" Gaara could only offer this final piece of advice.
"Gaara, stop talking. If you could persuade him, Naruto wouldn't have failed." Seeing Sasuke, Kankuro clearly didn't want Gaara to be associated with him.
Besides, Sasuke has now become a fallen man, a criminal within the Akatsuki, so what's the point of talking to him?
"He's been wanted by the Five Great Nations Five Kage Summit; he has no future no matter what," Temari said, agreeing wholeheartedly.
