"Heh, is Konoha out of people?"
The Raikage's voice boomed like muffled thunder, echoing across the battlefield.
Beneath the oppressive storm clouds.
The Third Raikage stood proudly, his entire body wrapped in blinding Lightning Release Chakra like a thunder god descended upon the world.

In an instant, the Raikage became a streak of blue lightning, moving so fast that even his shadow was difficult to catch.
Piercing thunder exploded through the air, and the ground cracked inch by inch beneath his feet.
