Year 57 of Konoha!
Following the death of Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, Fourth Raikage A had already become the number one in terms of speed, yet there was always a regret lingering in his heart—to fight Minato Namikaze once more and determine who truly was the fastest person in the world.
"Hahaha!!"
"I've already seen right through the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Today, I'll let the world know that I am the fastest person alive." Raikage A raged with blue lightning-style Chakra all over his body, speaking in an arrogant and confident tone.
"The fastest speed? As it happens, in my era, I was also the supreme speedster." Silver-haired, blue-armored Tobirama Senju looked at Fourth Raikage A with a calm gaze and spoke.
"That settles it! Saves anyone from saying I'm bullying an old man." Raikage A laughed.
As his words fell, Raikage A moved, long streaks of blue afterimages appearing across the field, his solitary arm shaped into a hand-blade as he chopped down toward Tobirama Senju's head.
Just as the blow was about to land, his pupils constricted, and he thought to himself: Something's wrong!
The next moment,
Raikage A's footing shifted, his body pulling back a hundred meters in an instant, and at the very same time, Second Hokage Tobirama Senju threw an exploding tag from his hand.
"Boom!"
The crimson explosion of fire, the black smoke, and the trembling ground undoubtedly illustrated the exact purpose of that exploding tag.
Exploding tags might look ordinary and inconspicuous, but the destructive power of a single exploding tag was enough to take the life of a normal ninja; they were the munitions of war in this world.
"So that's how it is. You intend to use Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags." The Fourth Raikage said with a slightly cold gaze.
