Every clash was accompanied by thunderous booms and dazzling flashes of lightning.
The two were actually evenly matched in strength. Shock waves swept through the surroundings like a gale, and when the battle reached its fiercest point, the trees around them were uprooted, sending dust billowing.
"What incredible strength..."
On the other side, Raikage A was secretly stunned as well.
This strength and speed...
There was no mistake.
"Eight Gates?"
"You have a discerning eye..." Su Nuo sneered.
"With this skill, no wonder my son would... But it ends here!"
Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!!
The Raikage, who had already been incredibly fast, suddenly became even faster!
Su Nuo failed to dodge in time and was directly stabbed through the shoulder!
However, he did not use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal himself. His entire body remained flushed red, steam rising from him.
"As expected of the strongest Raikage... You possess Hell Stab, the strongest spear, and Lightning Release Armor, the strongest shield."
Lightning Release Armor had blocked all of Su Nuo's attacks...
And the Hell Stab series of ninjutsu was an even more powerful S-rank technique.
"Hmph..." The Third Raikage, A, had murderous intent surging in his eyes. "My next strike will take your life!!"
He slowly folded down one finger.
His desire to avenge his son had reached its peak!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
Terrifying lightning appeared around Raikage A's body!
Boom!
"Pay for my son's life!!"
Raikage A roared. Lightning Release Chakra surged wildly into his Lightning Release Armor, making its glow even more dazzling!
Hell Stab: Three-Finger Nukite!!
A strike faster than the last shot straight toward Su Nuo's heart!
Raikage A judged that Hyuga Shin would desperately activate more of the Eight Gates to dodge.
That was why he had chosen the largest target area on the body.
Whoosh!
He closed in at tremendous speed...
Closer...
Contact!
Pfft!!
It hit!
Raikage A's heart leaped with joy.
Although Hyuga Shin had dodged with all his might, Raikage A had still successfully pierced through his chest!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The terrifying current from Raikage A surged directly through Hyuga Shin's entire body!!
"It's over..."
"Son, you can rest in peace now."
At that moment, countless memories of his son flashed through Raikage A's mind.
Hmm...
Hmm...?
Raikage A suddenly came to his senses.
What was going on?!
Why was Hyuga Shin forming hand seals at such close range, while he was sitting here recalling random memories?!
And what kind of seal was this? He had never seen it before!
Only then did Raikage A notice that the scene before him was slightly distorted!
His heart jolted!
It was an illusion!!
"You bastard!"
Raikage A panicked.
Everything had gone beyond his understanding.
Impossible!
Why?!
Why could this guy still move when his heart had already been shattered?!
What made Raikage A even more incredulous was...
He actually could not pull his hand out!
On the heart...
There was actually a Fuinjutsu!!
This circular Fuinjutsu had been waiting for Raikage A to thrust his hand into it!
Then it wrapped tightly around him and locked him in place!
Leaving Raikage A unable to pull his hand free!
"Domain Expansion..."
Su Nuo looked at the nearby Raikage A, a feral grin appearing on his face.
"Fukuma Mizushi!!"
In an instant.
A bizarre temple rose into existence! Its roof had upturned eaves, while sinister, gloomy horns stood atop it. The curses inside the temple opened their huge, bloody mouths, and the crimson pillars seemed to have been soaked in blood!
At the same time.
Countless slashes suddenly descended!
"Ahhhhh!" Raikage A unleashed Lightning Release Armor with all his strength to block them!
The strongest shield!
Block them for me!!
In reality, it did block them.
"As I expected... My slashes still can't break through this strongest shield."
"But..."
"What about that sealed arm of yours?"
Yin Seal: Absolute Death Seal!
Su Nuo had studied the Fuinjutsu in the Scroll of Seals, combined it with the Fuinjutsu of the Sarutobi Clan, and supplemented it with Sukuna's memories of cursed techniques to develop this S-rank sealing technique!
When the Third Raikage's Chakra could no longer flow smoothly into that arm,
the battle-hardened Third Raikage immediately understood his fate.
"Pfft!"
One hand remained embedded in Su Nuo's chest, while Raikage A was sent flying backward, a massive amount of blood spraying from his severed arm!
Su Nuo's feral grin was unbearably glaring in Raikage A's eyes.
"Ahhhhh! Don't look down on me!!"
Raikage A roared furiously. The Lightning Release Armor around his body suddenly expanded again!
He endured the countless slashes by force, while his other hand once again became wrapped in terrifying lightning!
Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite!
No longer daring to hold back, Raikage A fought with all his might to unleash his final divine technique!
However.
What left Raikage A incredulous and utterly shattered was—
Su Nuo merely smiled mockingly and floated backward with ease.
"Hyuga Shin! Don't run!! Fight like a man!!" Raikage A charged wildly forward.
Su Nuo treated Raikage A's words as nothing more than passing wind, casually throwing away the severed hand embedded in his chest.
The wounds on his shoulder and chest rapidly recovered!
"Try my original Fuinjutsu... Eight Absolute Seals!"
Su Nuo raised his hands and formed a seal.
Countless patterns suddenly appeared on the ground!
The formation was enormous, spanning dozens of meters!
"What?!"
Only then did Raikage A catch sight of the other Hyuga Shins from the corner of his eye.
That many clones...
"Shadow Clone Technique?!"
"No, it's Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Su Nuo sneered.
The next moment, countless black chains appeared in the sky, directly binding Raikage A's entire body!
Raikage A could not move an inch!
Meanwhile, vast numbers of slashes continued raining down on Raikage A!
He was at the end of his rope...
The Third Raikage realized this.
From beginning to end, the only techniques that had truly been activated and landed were Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite and Three-Finger Nukite...
When the strongest One-Finger Nukite was unleashed, his dominant hand had already been severed. On top of that, that bizarre Fuinjutsu had entered his body, and while enduring countless slashes, he had still failed to hit Hyuga Shin...
"Pfft!"
The armor around Raikage A began to shatter, and he began vomiting blood.
"I lost... You... What kind of monster are you?!"
Raikage A admitted defeat.
Those bizarre, invisible slashes... There were an absurd number of them.
And the Fuinjutsu on his heart.
He had also apparently been subjected to some kind of illusion, which had made him lose focus for several seconds and allowed this man to form those strange hand seals and activate something called "Fukuma Mizushi"...
And these Shadow Clones had set up the formation in advance...
Raikage A's mistake had been treating Hyuga Shin as merely a powerful Chunin. He had underestimated him from the very beginning.
His complete defeat in the intelligence war had prevented Raikage A from displaying his greatest strength. Before he knew it, he had lost his dominant hand, and now he could only wait for death... Once his Chakra was exhausted, he would be cut into pieces.
"Oh my, I never thought a Human Tailed Beast like you would call someone like me a monster."
Su Nuo smiled.
This guy had pulled the Eight-Tails apart with his bare hands, then left a lightning scar across his chest—but of course, that had happened in the original timeline. The Third Raikage had not experienced it yet.
"Boom!"
Su Nuo glanced into the distance, where the slightly pointed head of the Eight-Tails could faintly be seen.
"The Eight-Tails has gone berserk on the battlefield... How interesting."
Although he appeared to be strolling leisurely, Su Nuo had maintained his slashes the entire time.
And then.
Su Nuo casually took out a Water Ball.
He threw it directly onto Raikage A's head.
Raikage A shook his head frantically, trying to pierce the water sphere with lightning, but he was powerless to do so.
"There are quite a few Water Release techniques in the Scroll of Seals. After all, it was written by Senju Tobirama... Fortunately, Hyuga Shin's Chakra nature includes Water Release."
"That tone of voice... You... You're not... Hyuga Shin..."
"Mm, that's right."
Su Nuo raised his hand.
Terrifying lightning coiled around one hand!
Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Third Raikage's head flew through the air!
