I Never Expected Him to Be This Strong

The suddenly vanished target greatly shocked the Fourth Raikage.

But he reacted quickly as well, immediately changing tactics and launching another attack toward Uchiha Daiki.

"Excellent Body Flicker Technique... It seems you really are that man!"

The Fourth Raikage had yet to realize that what Uchiha Daiki used was no longer an ordinary Body Flicker Technique, but the Advanced Body Flicker Technique.

It was a movement technique that surpassed even Uchiha Shisui's.

Yet the Fourth Raikage did not lower his guard because of this. Instead, he became incomparably serious, going all out and pushing his Lightning Release Chakra Mode into Full Power Mode.

His speed instantly rose to the limit, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before Uchiha Daiki.

Even Uchiha Daiki could not help secretly admiring that incredible speed.

This guy's Lightning Release Chakra Mode really is extraordinarily powerful...

Uchiha Daiki did not choose to clash head-on with the Fourth Raikage in Taijutsu, because he knew exactly how powerful his opponent's Taijutsu was.

He directly activated the Advanced Body Flicker Technique and vanished.

But the Fourth Raikage immediately chased after him, his speed not much slower than Uchiha Daiki's Advanced Body Flicker Technique.

Clang! Clang!

Uchiha Daiki threw two kunai behind him, striking the Fourth Raikage with precision.

The latter merely raised his arms to block the incoming kunai, making no other move.

After the kunai struck his arms with the ring of metal, they were sent flying away, unable to harm him in the slightest.

"Try this!"

Uchiha Daiki suddenly vanished from before the Fourth Raikage.

Before the latter could react, Uchiha Daiki's voice had already appeared behind him.

The Fourth Raikage's expression shifted slightly in disbelief. The instant he sharply turned around, he saw an enormous fireball rushing straight at his face.

"Hmph!"

The Fourth Raikage neither dodged nor evaded. He directly threw a full-force punch at the incoming fireball.

With a boom, the tremendous impact generated by his fist directly blasted apart the fireball Uchiha Daiki had unleashed.

The flames filling the sky were snuffed out by the astonishing shockwave as well.

However, to the Fourth Raikage's surprise, there was nothing ahead of him.

The Fourth Raikage found it unbelievable. He had never expected his enemy to disappear so swiftly right before his eyes, so fast that even he could not keep up.

And at that very moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, screams from his own ninja came from behind him.

The Fourth Raikage spun around and saw Kumogakure's ninja falling one after another.

"Damn it..."

The Fourth Raikage flew into a rage.

Killer B moved before him.

Killer B, who had been watching the battle all along, had already seen that his sworn brother alone would not be able to defeat the opponent.

Moreover, the opponent was exceptionally cunning. Seeing that he was evenly matched against Kumogakure's strongest fighters, he refused to engage them and instead launched surprise attacks against the weaker ninja.

With his astonishing speed, Kumogakure's ninja suffered grievous casualties in an instant, with at least dozens dead or injured.

Fortunately, Killer B intervened in time, stopping Uchiha Daiki just as he was about to continue his slaughter.

"You really don't hold back, do you?"

Killer B charged forward and kicked at Uchiha Daiki.

His speed was equally unbelievable.

But Uchiha Daiki was no longer using the Advanced Body Flicker Technique. He had already switched to the Advanced Flying Thunder God Technique, easily evading his opponent's sneak attack.

He stopped over twenty meters away, facing off against Killer B and the Fourth Raikage, the two brothers who had rushed over.

"Since we can't reach an agreement, I can only continue negotiating with you in a way you can accept."

"Though it seems you don't like this method of communication very much either."

Uchiha Daiki casually glanced at the dozens of Cloud Village ninja he had just taken down.

More than half of them had already been killed, while the remaining minority were all seriously wounded.

Even now, many Kumogakure ninja had not yet processed what had happened.

Everything had happened far too quickly, almost in an instant.

Only then did all the enemies truly realize just how terrifying the man before them was.

"I never expected his speed to be so fast. There wasn't even time to react."

"No wonder he was able to make Kirigakure's forces pay such a terrible price on the battlefield between Konoha and Kirigakure, even forcing Kirigakure's main force to retreat..."

"What do we do now? Ordinary people have no way of defending against his surprise attacks!"

"..."

The remaining several hundred Kumogakure ninja were all on edge.

Their gazes toward Uchiha Daiki were somewhat evasive.

They were afraid that looking at him one moment too long would make them the next target.

Of course, Hyuga Hiashi, Hizashi Hyuga, and the three civilian Jonin from Konoha were equally stunned by Uchiha Daiki's strength and ruthless brutality.

Only now did they understand why Uchiha Daiki had dared to appear alone and make such demands of the Fourth Raikage and so many enemies.

"Just now, I thought he was merely an unremarkable member of the Uchiha Clan. I never expected him to be this strong."

Hyuga Hiashi could not help taking several more looks at Uchiha Daiki. He felt sincere admiration for this rising talent of the Uchiha Clan.

"By himself, he killed dozens of enemy ninja in an instant. That achievement is practically comparable to the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze."

Hizashi Hyuga could not help murmuring in a low voice.

"So, can he lead us out of here?"

A glimmer of hope for survival rose in Raimu Yamato's heart.

The other two could not help feeling expectant as well.

Everyone was watching Uchiha Daiki's every move while also paying attention to the Fourth Raikage's reaction.

The Konoha ninja all believed that the intimidation brought by the battle just now might force the Fourth Raikage and the others to compromise.

But at that moment, the Fourth Raikage made a decision beyond their expectations.

"Everyone, withdraw from this battlefield! Leave this place to me and B!"

"Take those five hostages away too! B, from here on out, we're going all out!!"

After saying this, the Fourth Raikage fixed his gaze tightly on Uchiha Daiki.

At that moment, not only did Lightning Release Chakra blaze all over his body with dazzling blue light, but the terrifying Chakra he unleashed also sent the surrounding sand, rocks, and dust flying.

This unprecedentedly powerful aura greatly invigorated everyone from Kumogakure.

Killer B also wore a serious expression. "When Kumogakure's AB Brothers join forces, we are invincible. Uchiha brat, prepare to pay the price."

"Once we capture you, the war can end. Let's go, brother!"
