Younger Raikage Attacks! Me Fighting Younger Raikage? For Real? Cannon Fodder Hyuga Shin

The moment he spoke, he sensed a dangerous aura closing in!

So fast!!

Hyuga Shin's body tensed instantly, the air around him growing heavy, his breathing slowing by a beat.

Through his Byakugan, Hyuga Shin ran toward the camp while observing behind him.

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode!" Using Lightning Release techniques to stimulate his already incredible speed, a young man charged forward at full tilt!

So, so fast!

This speed?!

No, he's going to catch up!!

Panic surged in Hyuga Shin's heart, but those emotions vanished just as quickly.

Boom!

A burst of lightning erupted from the young man's hand!

"Lightning Release: Lightning Fist!"

But Hyuga Shin narrowly dodged it!

"Hm?" The young man frowned.

Once he lost that one chance, it was gone for good.

He'd already been spotted early on; the young man had relied on his unmatched speed to close in.

"I thought I could take out a Hyuga clansman. I still need more practice." The young man remarked, then gave chase.

Hyuga Shin's heart raced with fear, but also relief that he hadn't panicked back then.

He reached the camp, where many Konoha ninja were already rushing out.

The commander was a jonin named Sarutobi Hiyori, whose combat ability ranked low among jonin—a fact that unsettled Hyuga Shin.

"You okay, Shin?" Uchiha Miya landed, his eyes already Two Tomoe.

"I almost died... Miya, be careful. He's strong." Hyuga Shin said.

"Hmph. I've long been prepared."

Without another word, battle erupted instantly.

Hyuga Shin's gaze sharpened as well.

He was only a chunin, but he quickly charged at an enemy.

"Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

After a skirmish, Hyuga Shin killed a Kumogakure ninja.

But he was exhausted.

The next moment, a feeling of being stalked by a beast washed over him.

Hyuga Shin looked over and saw the young man.

"As expected of a major Konoha clan, but I'm no pushover either!"

"What...!! Commander Sarutobi... Miya...!" Hyuga Shin broke into a cold sweat, realizing that multiple high-level fighters on his side were struggling against that young man.

"My name is A! I'm the man who will become the Raikage!" The dark-skinned young man declared, his tone brimming with confidence and coldness, his icy gaze locked onto Hyuga Shin!

He took a step forward! Boom! The ground shattered beneath him, and he shot straight toward Hyuga Shin!

Hyuga Shin's mind went blank.

Earlier, the Younger Raikage had been careless, letting Hyuga Shin escape by luck, but now Hyuga Shin faced a fully committed A!

The stench of death rushed at him.

This was war!

If they won, they could chat and leave, because the dead were from other villages.

But when they met an enemy this strong, they would be the ones to die!

"!"

Suddenly.

The Younger Raikage halted, leaping back and making a dodging motion.

Hyuga Shin: "?"

The Younger Raikage: "..."

The next moment, Hyuga Shin felt overwhelmed by fear, Negative Emotions flooding him like a torrent, instantly consuming him.

He turned and ran!

And for some reason, he ran incredibly fast!

"After him!" The Younger Raikage ordered from behind!

Time rewound to the moment Hyuga Shin was fighting a Kumogakure chunin.

The two exchanged blows, back and forth.

Inside Hyuga Shin's body.

Amid a sea of corpses and blood.

Su Nuo sat high above, one hand propping up his cheek, seated in an overwhelmingly domineering pose.

"I see."

"I understand..."

"Hyuga Shin's strength is unquestionably at the chunin level—neither too high nor too low, just chunin. With his Byakugan, he's leveraging its abilities, so he can take down an enemy chunin."

"Before this, Hyuga Shin and Uchiha Miya went through a battle together, and their unit wiped out a small Kumogakure squad."

"It was then that Uchiha Miya berated the other civilian ninja."

"So Younger Raikage has come for revenge."

"Thus, in the original timeline, this Hyuga clan branch boy and that Uchiha clan two-tomoe chunin would be defeated and die here."

The Third Shinobi World War's main combatants were the post-20s generation. That is, those born between Konoha year 20 and Konoha year 30, now aged 16 to 27. In the world of Naruto, 16 is the peak of one's prime.

"The Sarutobi clan member leading the command has racked up quite a few victories before this, which shows he's at least a passable commander."

"The squad has a Hyuga clan member, and a major clan like the Uchiha..."

"I also spotted a few surnames from smaller ninja clans in the ranks."

"This Konoha unit's combat strength qualifies as elite."

"Too bad... they've run into Younger Raikage."

In the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha produced Namikaze Minato, terrifyingly strong, but Kumogakure also had a generational young powerhouse.

That was the Fourth Raikage, Younger Raikage at this time.

"So I've really been transmigrated into a cannon-fodder role..."

Su Nuo mused.

But he wasn't worried.

Though he wasn't strong now—compared to the original Sukuna, he was probably only at the level of one finger.

However, Hyuga Shin wasn't a dedicated "Vessel" like Itadori Yuji, so Su Nuo could control Hyuga Shin's body.

It's just that people in the ninja world are different from modern humans. Ninja world people are pure plants, with cell counts far exceeding normal humans, and this world has all kinds of secret techniques. Su Nuo didn't plan to jump out immediately; he intended to slowly recover his strength.

Though he could seize Hyuga Shin's body right away... there was no need to do so.

Moreover.

The A and B Combination—A and Killer B should be acting together. Where was Killer B right now?

That was what Su Nuo was more concerned about.

As for the threat of Younger Raikage before him, he could release a slash by surprise, specifically unleashing "Kai" when the opponent closed in.

Or, if it was already undone, release "Tsubaki."

However, his current chakra reserves were limited. Against a Kage-level powerhouse in this world, he still needed to test how lethal Tsubaki really was.

Tsubaki's release required contact with the opponent, and its lethality depended on the difference in cursed technique and intensity between the two sides.

In other words, it was a skill for bullying the weak...

But Younger Raikage's chakra should be considerable too.

So releasing a close-range Kai as a skill with virtually no startup in this world—amid ninja combat where information warfare ran rampant—Su Nuo could cut off Younger Raikage's head.

Though it was a bit underhanded.

Su Nuo didn't see anything wrong with it.

Information disparity was already a key factor in ninja warfare.

"Come to think of it... why didn't Gojo Satoru react in time?"

"Mahoraga unlocked Space Slash, and it already cut off one of Gojo Satoru's hands before, didn't it?"

"Was he watching, thinking he was about to defeat me, and let his guard down? Didn't expect me to use a binding vow to pull off Space Slash?"

"To me, it looks more like a plot kill by some god-tier mangaka."
