Ever since the Fourth Hokage died, the Fourth Raikage had become the fastest ninja in the shinobi world.
Empowered by Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the Fourth Raikage moved so fast that even the Sharingan could barely keep up. His explosive power was even more terrifying, enough to shatter massive boulders weighing tens of thousands of tons.
But the Fourth Raikage soon discovered in surprise that the Naruto he had struck was merely an afterimage.
As the afterimage vanished, Naruto appeared dozens of meters away. Looking at the Fourth Raikage, who resembled Kennen after activating his ultimate, he said to Sasuke beside him, "Sasuke, this opponent is on your level. Make good use of this opportunity."
Sasuke snorted and drew the short sword at his waist, flashing straight in front of the Fourth Raikage.
"Big guy who only knows brute force, I'm your opponent. Don't even think about getting past me before you defeat me. Though I doubt you'll get the chance—I'll let you experience despair properly."
Faced with Sasuke's trash talk, the Fourth Raikage simply threw a heavy punch, too lazy even to call out the name of a technique.
Only when he faced the Fourth Raikage's ferocity head-on did Sasuke feel the immense pressure. He immediately raised his sword to block the punch, then thrust Raikiri straight at the Fourth Raikage's waist.
With a clang, the short sword in Sasuke's hand was knocked away, and Raikiri sank into the lightning aura with little effect.
His expression shifting slightly, Sasuke took several steps back. He directly activated Susanoo, and after a blue phantom appeared around him, it swung a heavy fist at the Fourth Raikage.
The Fourth Raikage flashed away from the blow, then punched Susanoo.
Fine cracks appeared across Susanoo's surface, but Chakra quickly repaired them as it advanced
