Using my One-Attack Perfect Prediction to mislead my attack, seizing the instant I committed everything to my strike, and launching a surprise attack on Hirohiko! Chiba, whose entire body remained suspended in a forward-thrusting posture after his attack missed, desperately looked back. As he rushed forward, that instant, which had already spread sideways into a thin line, was shattered and vanished into the air.
The scene from just now flashed through his mind.
Just moments ago, along the attack path predicted by his One-Attack Perfect Prediction, just as his thrust and the Third Raikage's thrust were about to meet, the Third Raikage suddenly vanished. In that instant, from the Third Raikage's final tiny movement of his eyes and his last glance, Chiba's instinctive predictive thinking immediately saw through his objective.
Hirohiko, behind Chiba! This scene felt so familiar! The decisive move in Kushina and Yagura Bi's battle had been the difference in speed! Back then, Yagura Bi had first allowed Kushina to adapt to his current speed, then suddenly accelerated and caught her off guard, severely wounding her.
And now, the Third Raikage had first launched a straightforward frontal attack, then relied on his speed advantage to increase his speed severalfold in an instant. He broke free of the "opponent speed prediction" within Chiba's One-Attack Perfect Prediction, fooled Chiba, then charged straight behind him to attack Hirohiko.
It was essentially the same as deliberately allowing Chiba to predict correctly, only to change course after the attack at the last moment. Relying on his overwhelming speed advantage over Chiba, he created an effect where Chiba was caught off guard—he had time to predict it, but not enough time to react based on that prediction.
After all, no matter how formidable Chiba's predictions were, no matter how he could react in advance
