The Raikage Was the Best Fellow Cultivator

Shazo's face showed a mixture of relief and lingering fear.

Just now, when Raikage lifted him high, Shazo's body was indeed paralyzed, and he couldn't make any struggling movements.

He subconsciously embraced the Human Body Great Elixir again, but as soon as the thought arose, the Kekkei Genkai Ring residing in his lower abdomen reacted.

With the Kekkei Genkai Ring as its core, Shazo instantly completed the Great Dan Embrace and compressed a sufficient amount of Chakra.

Even the violent Lightning Release Chakra the Raikage infused into his body was contained and compressed by the Great Dan.

The compression of the Elixir Embrace was completed in an instant. Shazo was so shocked that his mind went blank. He subconsciously detonated the Great Core that had been compressed to its limit, creating a Chakra storm on his body.

As he released his Lightning Release Chakra, he regained control of his body and broke free from the Raikage's control.

Only after regaining his freedom did Shazo realize how frightening it was.

Just one second away, he was about to be hit squarely by the Fourth Raikage's [Liger Bomb], and under that absolutely fatal blow, Shazo would have been forced to reveal his long-hidden Asura True Form.

It was really just a hair's breadth away.

But Shazo wasn't angry; instead, he burst into hearty laughter.

Influenced by the shared memories, Shazo also yearns for visceral, hand-to-hand combat deep down.

However, Ninja in the Ninja World are too fragile in their physical form and too agile and slippery in their movements, making it difficult for them to land a punch on their enemy during combat.

After entering Swift Style mode, Shazo was able to easily hit his enemies, but his own strength was severely limited; at most, his punches could only knock out a few teeth.

A punch that can't be lethal at all, what kind of "flesh-and-blood" punch is that?

Instead of wasting time on this, it would be much more satisfying to slice the enemy to pieces with Ninja Blade.

Now that Shazo has completed the Kekkei Genkai Ring, his physical attributes have undergone a qualitative change. He has initially overcome the suppression of his power by Swift Style and can finally fight without restraint.

Even better, his enemy was the Fourth Raikage, the most resilient Ninja in the Ninja World.

There is none other than that.

Moreover, this guy just gave Shazo Zuo a sound beating, almost knocking him out of his original form with his [Liger Bomb], and Shazo is still seething with anger.

Several factors combined to completely activate Shazo's long-suppressed desire for hand-to-hand combat, which he could no longer suppress.

In any case, he's going to have a good fight today.

Shazo stopped talking, pushed off the ground with his left foot, and used the sudden burst of speed from his Swift Style technique to rush towards the Fourth Raikage.

Halfway through the sprint, Shazo instantly Elixir Embrace and then unleashed his power!

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage also unleashed unprecedented power.

In his burst state, the Fourth Raikage's blood pressure was extremely high, and after the blood vessels in his forehead ruptured, blood gushed out like water from a gun.

In the blink of an eye, half of Raikage's face was stained red with blood, but he didn't care about this minor injury. He focused on Shazo and raised his right hand.

But just before he launched [Hell Stab - Four Violet Fists] with a do-or-die attitude, he suddenly felt a strong palpitation in his heart.

The Fourth Raikage unconsciously and quietly withdrew some of his power.

Then, like a ferocious ghost, surrounded by hundreds of bolts of lightning, he charged towards Shazo.

Neither of them dodged, defended, or parried; they each struck at the other's face, chest, and lower abdomen.

Boom!...

The fight between the two was not like two people punching each other, but like Mount Tai colliding with Mount Lu, and the resulting roar was earth-shattering.

Especially Shazo, the way he withstood the Fourth Raikage's heavy punch and penetrating hand was not by directly taking it, but by first sensing the location of the enemy's attack, and then Elixir Embrace energy to counter with the same or even stronger force.

The resulting terrifying shockwave caused trees dozens of meters away to fall in droves, breaking huge trunks that would take ten people to encircle, and even uprooting some.

Even the Eight-Tails Gyuki and Susanoo, who were fighting not far away, could not withstand such a terrifying storm and had no choice but to retreat to a more distant place.

Sensing the aftershocks of their leader's battle, Killer B and Shisui Uchiha, both shocked, lost interest in continuing the fight.

Why bother fighting? It doesn't matter who wins!

The Fourth Raikage won; with Killer B, he Susanoo destroyed Shisui Uchiha's Susanoo.

Shazo won, and could easily trap the Eight-Tails like a dumpling, making it difficult for him to die.

Although Shazo's Wood Release doesn't have the ability to absorb Chakra, nor does it possess the First Hokage's natural ability to suppress Tailed Beast, his Chakra are greater than the Eight-Tails'. How can Killer B possibly defeat him?

Killer B, thinking of this, looked up at Shisui Uchiha, Susanoo, and was surprised to find that his eyes were full of boredom.

[So you don't want to fight anymore either!]2

Thus, the two colossal beings became entangled, seemingly competing with each other, but in reality, they were concentrating on waiting for their respective leaders to decide the victor.

After the Fourth Raikage unleashed his power, his speed and strength increased several times over.

Despite having completed the Kekkei Genkai Ring and using the powerful Elixir Embrace Technique, Shazo was still overwhelmed by the Fourth Raikage and quickly became look disheveled.

Therefore, Killer B was convinced that his Big Brother would win.

However, Shisui Uchiha noticed that although Lord Shazo Zuo looked disheveled, he had no broken skin or bleeding.

Shisui knew that Shazo had a miraculous Self-Healing ability that he claimed "Ninja Never Dies in Battle."

Shazo won't use his Self-Healing ability unless there's bloodshed in the battle, meaning he doesn't use his full strength at all.

However, the Fourth Raikage was clearly fighting desperately, so Shisui Uchiha was certain that Shazo would win!

[Once Big Brother /Lord Shazo wins, this guy won't be able to escape!]2

Just as they were thinking this, the situation suddenly changed.

Suddenly, the Fourth Raikage went from having the upper hand to a stalemate. The stalemate lasted only a few seconds before Shazo turned the tables and took the lead.

The turn of events was not due to the Fourth Raikage making a mistake, but rather because Shazo's power was increasing rapidly.

According to the "<Five Spirits Battle True Interpretation>", Shazo knows that completing the Kekkei Genkai Ring can improve physical attributes.

But he hadn't expected the boost to come so quickly, and the intensity to be so powerful.

Firstly, because this is the Ninja World, and the environment densely packed with Chakra is more suitable for the Kekkei Genkai Ring.

But more importantly, the Fourth Raikage unleashed a powerful force that, despite the risk of damaging his own body, shattered Shazo's body like a hammer.

Stimulated by this, the full potential of the Kekkei Genkai Ring was unleashed.

The Fourth Raikage is truly a perfect fellow cultivator.

His desperate measures not only failed to defeat Shazo, but actually saved Shazo two years of hard work.

When Shazo's strength suddenly increased, the Fourth Raikage knew that he was no longer able to turn the tide.

As soon as he let out that breath, the backlash from the Raikage's outburst beyond his limits erupted.

The out-of-control Lightning Release Chakra raged within him, destroying everything in its path.

Fortunately, he had withdrawn some Chakra earlier, so the Raikage was able to barely protect his heart and other internal organs, thus saving his life.
