Sand Village Arrives!

Western district of Roran City.

"Who exactly are you people?!"

The Third Raikage chased the ever-nimble Tengen Uzui at high speed while using his lightning-wreathed hand to repeatedly pierce and blast apart the incoming sonic cannons.

The two incomparably swift figures chased and fled through the air at times, collided and crossed paths at others, then resumed their pursuit.

Naturally, the Third Raikage knew he could not let himself be led around by the nose.

Yet whenever he tried to go after the other Sea Ninja, the enemy would harass him with all manner of blade flashes and sound waves, even claiming they would head outside the city to spar with the other Cloud Village ninja.

This left the Third Raikage with no choice but to remain entangled with Tengen Uzui.

He had already witnessed the latter's strength. Before, he had merely seemed like a rather formidable elite Jonin, but once that strange Sound Release ability came out, his Jonin had no way of dealing with it.

The enemy also possessed a strange secret technique that turned his entire body black and easily defended against Lightning Release.

Combined with the two Blast Swords in his hands that could create massive explosions.

If a powerhouse of this level charged into their ranks, even if they ultimately killed him, they would suffer devastating losses—just as he could stir up a bloody storm if he charged into the enemy's ranks.

Although the Third Raikage appeared crude and hot-tempered, he cared deeply about the ninja of his village.

Otherwise, he would never have chosen to stay behind alone and cover the retreat.

"Didn't I already tell you? We're Root ninja under Lord Danzo. If the Third Raikage doesn't believe me, go ask around in Konoha!"

Tengen Uzui laughed as he fought and retreated.

"Bullshit!"
