"Rumble~" A thunderous sonic boom erupted before Moriyue. The Raikage's towering body, moving too fast to see clearly, charged at Moriyue like a raging bolt of lightning. Faint blue arcs covered his entire body, as though he were a general clad in lightning armor.
They had barely exchanged a few words before he threw a punch. A's short blond hair stood straight up like hedgehog spines, and massive, seemingly cumbersome bronze iron rings encircled his arms. Getting hit by that punch would definitely not end well.
Yet that punch was aimed straight at Moriyue. An ordinary shinobi would never have been able to withstand it, even with Gaara's sand shell.
The punch felt swift and sharp, not like a fist at all, but more like a keen blade thrusting at Moriyue with unstoppable momentum.
Moriyue's body was likewise surrounded by azure lightning. In that instant, he exerted strength throughout his body and directly used Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate his flesh.
"Crackle, crackle~" Violent lightning writhed between them like twisted little snakes, flooding the entire space in blue and creating severe light pollution.
Moriyue twisted around to face the Raikage head-on. Moving even faster than the Raikage, he threw an imperfect uppercut from below, colliding with the Raikage's straight punch.
The glare quickly faded. The Raikage's muscular figure reappeared, and Moriyue stood tall across from him.
"Tested enough? Want to take this outside?"
Moriyue loosened up his body, tilted his head, and pointed outside. If it had been anyone else, they likely would not even have reacted to the Raikage's first punch. But Moriyue was different; he could still laugh and chat after exchanging blows with the Raikage.
"You brat, you really have gotten a lot stronger. But..." The Raikage nodded, as though confirming something.
What Moriyue intended to do
