"It seemed I had no choice but to kill you!"
The Masked Man's voice was deathly still, and chilling killing intent gleamed in his scarlet Sharingan.
Originally, Naruto had only planned to visit Kumogakure, offer them a little warmth, and settle old scores.
He also wanted to show them that Uchiha Obito existed, while letting Kumogakure experience a little pain.
But Raikage Ay had said, "You think you can leave without killing me?"
Then,
he could only ask him to die!
Thunder Boy—no, Ay-boy—be a good person in your next life!
With that thought, his aura abruptly changed.
The playful, teasing air vanished, replaced by an abyssal chill that carried the stillness of extinction.
His Sharingan swept over the area. There were so many people around; he would clear the field first.
The Masked Man rapidly formed hand seals, then slammed his palm heavily onto the ground!
"Wood Style: Dance of the Thorns!"
A surge of Wood Style Chakra erupted from beneath the earth.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~~~
Violent Wood Style Chakra tore apart the ground as countless sharp Wood Spikes, pointed like spears, burst forth.
Their shrill whistles pierced the ears as they shot toward every Cloud Ninja present!
They were about to impale them all in an instant, nailing them to the ground!
At that critical moment,
lightning exploded around Raikage Ay's body. Chakra extracted to its very limit became a blue bolt that tore through the field of vision!
"Lightning Release: Violent Downpour!"
Big Boss's elbow strike came like a bolt of blue lightning. Faced with that speed, the Masked Man could only abandon his Wood Style and phase through it to evade.
After that strike, whoosh—
After several consecutive bursts of power, even the Raikage was panting heavily.
His speed had ultimately slowed by half a beat
