Naruto didn't think he was wrong. After all, the Third Raikage was no match for the Fourth Raikage A. The main reason for using the Impure World Reincarnation was to reunite the father and son.

I'm so sad, the dream-fulfilling master of the Shinobi World.

The Fourth Raikage, however, seemed unmoved, perhaps having already said everything he needed to say last time. Now, with family reunited, a second reunion, had his filial piety been exhausted?

Seeing the Fourth Raikage bypass his own Impure World Reincarnation father and head straight for Naruto's face, Naruto immediately sensed danger and turned to run.

He wasn't some stubborn fool who insisted on a duel between men; that would be pure madness. Faced with the enraged Fourth Raikage, running away was the best option, of course.

With a bang, Naruto burst out of the door, the wall behind him shattered by the Fourth Raikage. Smoke and dust filled half the corridor, and then a series of hurried footsteps echoed at the end of the corridor.

Seeing that the Kumogakure's Anbu were closing in, he had nowhere to go but to step onto the windowsill and jump out. At that moment, the Impure World Reincarnation Third Raikage caught up with the Kumogakure group and began to fight them.

Black lightning and blue lightning collided head-on, creating a deafening roar Raikage Tower. The fight between father and son kept the Kumogakure Anbu busy, forcing them to watch Naruto escape.

Fortunately, the blue lightning quickly gained the upper hand, punching his own father into the ground and creating a large crater. The Fourth Raikage then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Where's the Sealing Team?"

"They're here! They're here! Raikage-sama!"

The Sealing Team, a lean group of men, some dark-skinned and some fair-skinned, arrived carrying Scroll of Seals. They unrolled the Scroll of Seals and immediately and expertly surrounded the Third Raikage, Impure World Reincarnation.

"Seal it immediately!" The Fourth Raikage threw down these words, holding his breath, and continued his pursuit of Naruto.

Naruto ran across the rooftops of Kumogakure, glancing back as he went. Seeing the Fourth Raikage's incredible speed, he couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.

"Your speed is so fast, could you be the fastest man in Kumogakure!"

"Stop right there! Don't get too cocky! I'm going to kill you!"

"You... you stop running and I won't run anymore!" Naruto panted, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to keep running. The Kumogakure could only see two beams of light intertwining in the air when they looked up.

"Shameless brat! Didn't you say you wanted a duel between men?" The Fourth Raikage was furious, wishing he could tear Naruto to pieces on the spot.

The repeated use of the Impure World Reincarnation his ancestors was tantamount to rubbing the Raikage's face in the dirt. Practice makes perfect; the despicable Impure World Reincarnation could no longer interfere with the Fourth Raikage.

"Catch me first!" Naruto retorted defiantly, deliberately leading the Fourth Raikage in the direction the Hawk Team had gone. "I'll use Water Release!"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage, who was rushing forward at high speed, was startled, thinking that Naruto was about to unleash Water Style Ninjutsu head-on. He instinctively wanted to accelerate his charge, but unexpectedly, the other party simply turned around and spat.

Physical damage is almost negligible, but mental damage is absolutely massive.

This infuriated the Fourth Raikage, who vowed to smash that evil Uchiha in front of him into a pulp with one punch, or two if one wasn't enough.

Now.

Sasuke, who was leading the Hawk Team in a head-on retreat, suddenly raised his head and looked back at the clear blue sky after the rain. He frowned slightly, a chill running down his spine.

"What's wrong, Sasuke?" Karin asked, turning her head.

"It's nothing, I just have a bad feeling," Sasuke said coldly, then looked at Karin, "Karin, check the surrounding area."

"Okay, wait a minute." Karin closed her eyes to sense something, then opened them abruptly. "Oh no! Something's coming towards us from the sky!"

"What!" Suigetsu exclaimed in surprise. "What's that in the sky?"

"I don't know! It's too fast!" Karin's expression changed drastically.

"Never mind that, let's get going!" Sasuke made the decision immediately, and led his men to speed up their retreat. "Karin, lead the way, Jugo, protect Karin, and Suigetsu and I will cover the rear."

"What a nuisance," Suigetsu complained, grabbing her knife and charging forward. "Which bastard is flying in the sky? If I catch him, I'll make sure he pays the price!"

With a loud bang, before Suigetsu could finish speaking, a burly, dark-skinned man descended from the sky. He crashed straight into the street, smashing through a wall and sending dust billowing up.

Suigetsu was stunned and speechless.

"Oh no, what a jinx!"

Sasuke's expression was complicated as he drew his Kusanagi Sword. The Fourth Raikage also somewhat bewildered. He had accelerated and almost crashed into the kid, and it looked like he was about to land a punch on him.

It was really strange that I didn't feel any impact until I landed.

As the smoke cleared, the Fourth Raikage shook his head and vaguely saw Sasuke Uchiha's figure. Enraged, he instantly unleashed blue lightning.

"Sasuke Uchiha! Die!" The Raikage, his towering figure appearing instantly in front of Sasuke, and suddenly threw a punch.

With a sizzle, Sasuke nowhere to dodge. He drew his Kirin, Kirin, and infused it into the blade. Using his waist as a pivot, he tried to use the momentum of the impact to retreat and avoid the collision.

However, the Raikage was faster. He passed right through Sasuke's drawing of his sword, and just as Sasuke was about to throw a punch, a large red "Danger" sign appeared in Sasuke's eyes.

Sasuke's sixth sense was giving him a frantic warning, and he dared not underestimate his opponent, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning wildly in his eyes.

"Susanoo!"

The enormous purple bone hand, barely formed, was smashed in front of Sasuke by the Raikage's punch. The force of the punch, still crackling with blue lightning Chakra, continued straight towards Sasuke's face.

Taking advantage of the Susanoo's brief obstruction, Sasuke coughed up blood and managed to retreat. He inwardly cursed, wondering, "Who is this guy anyway?!"

It was as if he'd dug up the Raikage's ancestral grave. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the Raikage, and nearly coughed up blood again. It was their first meeting, yet it was like he'd killed his father!

The battle happened in an instant, with a loud bang, and the distance between them widened in an instant.

"Sasuke!" Karin realized what was happening and quickly Sasuke up, rolling up her sleeves to bring her arm to Sasuke's mouth. "You're injured."

Sasuke coughed, pushed Karin's hand away, stood up, and frowned at the Fourth Raikage.

"Raikage?"

"The evil Uchiha?" The Fourth Raikage showed no sign of stopping. If he had been calmer, he would have noticed that Sasuke's expression and tone were off.

But the Raikage's eyesight wasn't good, and he was in a rage after being spat on. He stopped calling them "Uchiha" and started calling them "evil Uchiha" repeatedly.

Sasuke isn't one to explain himself; he's known for his aloof and reserved demeanor.

"As expected of the Raikage." Sasuke spat out a mouthful of blood, his Mangekyō Sharingan swirling menacingly in his eyes. "But that's all."

Having said that, he grabbed his sword and charged forward. Sparks and lightning streaked across his path, the blade crackling with electricity like the cry of Kirin, and in the blink of an eye, he slashed at Raikage.

"Stop spouting nonsense! I'll show you what the power of anger is!" The Raikage was a rough man and couldn't utter anything that struck a chord with people.

Too honest, I'm so sad.

Naruto remained an observer, reverting to his original blond-haired appearance, and squatted on a high place, watching with a grin as the Raikage and Sasuke started fighting each other without warning.

One is straightforward and aloof, the other has a fiery temper.

"That was ruthless, as expected of you, Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto muttered, watching Sasuke swung his purple Gundam and hammer the Fourth Raikage, his heart pounding with fear.

The half-body purple Susanoo ten meters tall, skeletal in shape, and enveloped in dense purple Chakra. This is the first form of Susanoo, capable of completely enveloping the body.

While the half-body Susanoo enhance defense, it is not without weaknesses. First, attacks from the feet upwards cannot be defended, and second, the Raikage's attacks can break through the defenses of the Susanoo.

Sasuke didn't care, barely blocking the Raikage's attack with a bang. As a price, half of Susanoo's bones were shattered. The Kumogakure Anbu seized the opportunity to catch up, but unexpectedly, they were smashed to pieces by a single punch from the fully formed Susanoo.

With a loud crack, like smashing several tomatoes, blood splattered everywhere.

"Damn Uchiha!" the Raikage gritted his teeth again.

He hadn't expected Sasuke Uchiha to use his scheme so skillfully, deliberately taking a heavy punch from him and using the appearance of Susanoo's half-broken body to lure the Kumogakure Anbu's ANBU into attacking.

Feigning exhaustion, he unleashed a devastating attack at the last moment, wiping out a group of Kumogakure's Anbu. Fortunately, the Kumogakure Anbu's ANBU were numerous, so only a small portion perished, preventing the Raikage from being so enraged that he vomited blood.

At the same time, Sasuke's Susanoo underwent another change. His previously purple skeletal frame suddenly sprouted tendons and flesh, and he also acquired the weapon, a bow and arrow.

In this state, Susanoo's balance is surprisingly good. It doesn't become sluggish due to its large size; on the contrary, it moves very nimbly.

The battlefield was located on the edge of Kumogakure, so it wouldn't harm the Kumogakure's core members. The Raikage, using Nintaijutsu fueled by blue lightning to infinitely enhance his physical strength, charged directly at the purple Gundam.

A violent collision occurred again, followed by a deafening explosion, as blue and purple Chakra overflowed the sky. The two Chakra, one blue and one purple, almost split the sky in two, evenly matched.

After the Raikage's repeated attempts failed, Naruto had been waiting for a long time, began to complain.

"Has the Fourth Raikage not eaten? He was so fierce chasing me just now, but now he's fighting like a coward. His hits on Uchiha Sasuke don't even hurt him. Is he really that useless?"

He was genuinely worried for the Fourth Raikage, facing a junior Sasuke Uchiha had just turned 18. Winning wasn't anything to be proud of, but losing would be incredibly embarrassing.

Although Sasuke is overpowered, he's still a newcomer and shouldn't be able to defeat the Fourth Raikage. Unless the Raikage is holding back or waiting for his right-hand man.

"Are you kidding me, Raikage? Still messing around with your lightning? Where's the Uchiha? Can't you see that big Uchiha? Go and beat him up!"

"How can I release the Yugito Nii if you don't beat him until he's overflowing with gold coins!"

"Still playing around there? I'm asking you, where are the Tailed Beast? Where are the Tailed Beast of your village? Have you forgotten after two years? Sasuke Uchiha kidnapped the Yugito Nii! Damn it!"

Naruto was anxious looking at the half-dead battle situation and kept muttering to himself.

"Never come to Konoha again, or you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Normally, Uchiha Sasuke would have been beaten to a pulp. But after the Fourth Raikage punched Sasuke, he seemed to be writing a self-criticism, just observing from the sidelines.

Suddenly, a loud explosion shook the heavens and the earth.

A black Tailed Beast Ball shot out from afar, carrying world-destroying power, heading straight for Susanoo. Sasuke didn't intend to fight it head-on, and controlled Susanoo jump away.

Boom! The massive shockwave ripped up a corner of Kumogakure, leaving the area resembling a demolition site. A huge ravine, ten meters deep, appeared and stretched all the way to the edge of the village.

"By! Are you going to destroy the village?" The Fourth Raikage couldn't help but turn around and yell, his body crackling with lightning the instant the Tailed Beast Ball was launched.

A crackling blue lightning bolt, twice as powerful as before, enveloped him. In that instant, Raikage's speed increased infinitely, and he shot towards Susanoo like a humanoid cannonball.

In that instant, the Fourth Raikage's movement speed was comparable to the Space-Time Ninjutsu Flying Thunder God. Almost instantly, he arrived beside Susanoo, gathering Chakra throughout his body and charging towards Sasuke Uchiha at high speed.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Scalpel!"

This blow violently shook Susanoo, creating a gash in its Susanoo and exposing its massive sternum.

"Die!" Raikage Body Flicker Technique into the gap, like a sharp arrow piercing Susanoo's chest, breaking through quickly and unstoppable.

The Raikage concentrated his Chakra into his elbow, raised it, and slammed it down on Sasuke Uchiha, who was in the center of the attack. The elbow strike landed solidly, and Sasuke was practically crippled.

In an instant, Sasuke Mangekyō Sharingan activated, Susanoo changed shape once more. In its second form, the purple Susanoo donned the Crow Tengu Armor.

Encased in armor on the outside, the inside was layered and solidified. The purple Chakra was almost visibly materialized, effectively blocking the Raikage's attack.

With a loud boom, Sasuke the void and flung the Fourth Raikage out of the Susanoo.

Naruto watched from the sidelines and immediately thought that these people were all incredibly cunning. They had many tricks up their sleeves but kept them all to themselves, cleverly countering every move as it came.

However, Sasuke was severely injured at this point. While the third form of Susanoo cool, it consumes a lot of Chakra, and Sasuke couldn't maintain it for long in his current state.

Before he could even attack the Kumogakure Village group, he directly deactivated his Susanoo form. This gave Naruto, who was watching the battle, a sudden idea – his chance had arrived.

With a roar, a Lightning Black Panther suddenly leaped out from the middle of the battlefield, howling as it charged towards Sasuke. This was the Third Raikage's signature technique, later inherited by Darui.

In his Black Panther form, Sasuke with incredible speed, barely having time to swing his sword once before a blue lightning Kirin appeared. The two bolts of lightning Chakra collided violently, creating a deafening explosion.

In the midst of the smoke and fire, Naruto took advantage of the chaos to release the Yugito Nii, creating the illusion that Sasuke Uchiha but to release them as a Yugito to save his own life.

Roar! The fully-formed Two-Tails Matatabi landed directly in the center of the battlefield, letting out a roar.
