One-Finger Nukite: Strongest Spear!
"My lord, how could we possibly be defeated?"
"Naive! How dare you spout such nonsense!"
The Kumogakure around him were all very confident; in their view, the Raikage's strength was absolutely unmatched by anyone else.
"That's hard to say!" Shiyu said, squinting her eyes.
"You underestimate the Kumogakure, and you underestimate the Raikage too much." The Third Raikage shook his head.
Then, the Kumogakure leader, whom Shiyu was holding hostage, suddenly spat out a sphere from his mouth.
"Lava Release: Protective Jade!"
This sphere completely enclosed Shiyu inside Shiyu.
"Well done, Dodai! That way, the brat is caught!" The Third Raikage nodded. It turned out that the ninja in front of him was Raikage, the Dodai's bodyguard and the examiner of the legendary Lightning Hot Blade.
"Naive!" Shiyu was unharmed, enveloped in the sphere. He knew that if he didn't show his true strength, the Kumogakure Village would never believe him.
"I'll only talk about defeating the Raikage first!" Shiyu made up his mind, Shiyu unleashed a powerful punch! Even the hardest object would be shattered by it, let alone a mere rubber ball.
"Bang!" After the rubber ball was punctured, Shiyu rushed out, much to everyone's surprise.
Dodai was most shocked; the rubber ball he created Lava Release was incredibly elastic, yet it was still broken through by Shiyu.
"Looks like this guy is pretty strong!"
"Looks like this kid's got some skills! While I'm fighting him, destroy the Earth Wall and attack Konoha!" the Third Hokage ordered.
"Konoha boy, I'll take you on!" the Third Raikage said to Shiyu.
"Lightning Armor!" Lightning instantly enveloped the Third Raikage's body, making him look like the god of thunder descended to earth.
"Painful Sky Leg!" Shiyu kicked the Kumogakure who were close to the Earth Wall. Shigure slammed his foot into the ground, and the Shiyu shattered instantly, creating an extremely long and deep rift.
"What!?"
"This level of power!?"
"Like the Tailed Beast!?"
Even the Third Raikage was taken aback; the power that Shiyu displayed far exceeded Third Hokage expectations.
"It seems I underestimated this junior from Konoha!" The Third Raikage also put away his contempt.
"It seems that without defeating you, none of us can get past this Earth Wall, right?" the Third Raikage asked.
"Yes! I said we could make a bet: I'll fight you, and if I win, you withdraw your troops! If I lose, we retreat and cede the territory," Shiyu said with great confidence.
"Kid? You're really that good?" After witnessing Shiyu's performance, the Third Hokage couldn't help but take him seriously.
"You can try!" The Yakumi between Shiyu and the Third Raikage was growing increasingly palpable.
"Hahaha! This is truly interesting! All Kumogakure, heed my command! Wait until our battle is over before taking any further action!" After giving the order, the Third Raikage revealed his killing intent.
"Lightning Release Chakra Mode!" The Third Raikage unleashed lightning-attribute chakra from his entire body, greatly amplifying his abilities, including penetrating power, attack power, and defense.
The Third Raikage stared at Shiyu, then quickly lunged forward. Clearly, the Third Raikage wanted to defeat Shiyu as quickly as possible, leaving Shiyu no chance to retaliate.
Shiyu smiled faintly, his senses having completely captured the Third Hokage's movements.
"Hell Stab - Four-Finger Nukite!" The Third Hokage's attack was about to pierce through Shiyu, but Shiyu vanished with a whoosh.
"With the Flying Thunder God! No matter how strong you are, you can never hit me!" Shiyu was very proud of himself, dodging the Third Raikage's thrusting attacks one after another. But the Third Raikage immediately changed his move.
"Black Lightning!" The Third Hokage unleashed black leopard-shaped lightning from his body, launching a series of attacks on Shiyu from a distance.
"My god! They've changed their tactics! I can't believe the Raikage isn't choosing to fight me head-on." Shiyu retorted, trying to justify his actions.
"It's you who's been running away!" The Third Raikage used Black Lightning from a distance, and at close and medium range, he would directly thrust his weapon through Shiyu's body.
The Third Raikage was a ruthless man who once severed all eight tentacles of the rampaging Eight-Tails. There are very few people in the entire Shinobi World who possess the ability to fight Tailed Beast in hand-to-hand combat.
"Fine! Since that's how it is! I'll face you head-on this time!" Shiyu drew his Dragon Fang Blade and prepared a super move against the Third Raikage.
Among Shiyu's sword techniques, the Three Dragon God Strike of the Shattered Blade is the most powerful. Shiyu infuses his chakra into the Dragon Fang Blade, and the entire short blade even turns into a glowing gold.
Seeing this, the Third Raikage dared not underestimate him and removed one of his four fingers, turning it into Three-Finger Nukite.
"Lord Raikage has actually switched to the Three-Finger Nukite!?"
"No matter how strong the opponent is, it seems they are destined to die without a burial place!"
"No human could withstand the impact and penetrating power of this!"
The Kumogakure always had absolute confidence in the Raikage's strength.
Shiyu unleashed his first diagonal slash, shouting, "Dragon Scale God Shatter!" A fragmented, decimeter-level shattering force attacked the Third Raikage. Even in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the Raikage's expression changed drastically.
"Susanoo can't withstand this kind of attack! Don't underestimate me!" Shiyu warned.
"Two-Finger Nukite!!" The Third Raikage once again retracted a finger, further enhancing the penetrating and destructive power of his Lightning Release, and quickly withstood Shiyu's first attack.
"Second strike! Dragon Bone God Split!!" Shiyu's second diagonal slash was unleashed, and the Third Raikage's Two-Finger Nukite Thrust was once again completely neutralized by Shiyu. Most importantly, the Third Hokage could no longer maintain his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
"Impossible! How can this guy's swordsmanship be so strong!? The destruction caused by just a slash can stop my Two-Finger Nukite strike!?"
"There's no other way! One-Finger Nukite!!" The Third Raikage retracted his fingers, leaving only his index finger. With a fierce aura, the Third Raikage thrust forward with a single finger, the penetrating force of which was extremely powerful.
Shiyu knew that among the Hell Stab, the one-finger strike was the most terrifying move, which was known as the Strongest Spear, so he naturally unleashed the strongest strike of his Three Dragon Divine Strike.
"Dragon Fang God Slash Annihilation!" Shiyu's attack was also a thrusting strike. With the wind and lightning attributes boosting his back and his feet bursting with superhuman strength, Shiyu charged towards the Third Raikage like a rocket.
The two finally met! They passed each other face to face, their attacks colliding and instantly creating a powerful hurricane and a deep crater around them.
"My God! Daring to go head-to-head with the Strongest Spear!?"
"They're the only ones like this in the entire Shinobi World, aren't they?!"
"Who won? Who lost!?"
