Raikage A's Rise: Breaking Through His Limits

"Zzzzz..." As he thought about it, lightning-attribute Chakra spread throughout Ai's entire body.

Tianqi looked at Ai at this moment. Although he was surprised, he was not unexpected. From the first time he saw Ai, he had discovered the fighting spirit hidden in Ai's heart. Although he hid it well, Tianqi still found it. He was not surprised that Ai would seize the opportunity to make a move today.

The other Kage were quite surprised. They thought the matter was over, but Raikage A stepped forward at the last moment.

As Ai increased his strength, he kept thinking about the method his father had once mentioned.

"Actually, breaking Uchiha Tianqi's strange techniques is very simple: it all comes down to one word—speed! Extreme speed!"

"Extremely fast speed?"

"That's right. Although Uchiha Tianqi's techniques are strange, he is, after all, a member of a clan that uses Dōjutsu. That strange power must come from his eyes. And the tracking vision of the eyes is limited. As long as you are fast enough, you can defeat him!"

"How can we achieve this speed?"

"Unleash your body's potential, activate your cells, and use lightning as an aid to achieve speeds that are impossible for the naked eye to follow. While Uchiha Tianqi's intangibility is incredibly powerful, he absolutely cannot maintain this state for long. As long as you can maintain your speed, you can defeat him!"

"Developing potential and activating cells with the power of lightning as an aid, in that case!" Thinking of that method, Ai squeezed out his life force to gain powerful strength, activating all the cells in his body with the power of lightning.

The powerful Lightning Release Chakra continued to expand, and the lightning power raged, causing the ground to crack continuously. A squeezed out his life force, and his strength once reached the peak of the Kage Level. It was clear that he had exceeded his limits.

"Uchiha Tianqi of the Shinobi World, let me, who has inherited the name of A, challenge you!" Having gained unparalleled power, A was now filled with confidence.

"Challenge me? Hahahaha... It's been a long time since I've heard that. Fourth Raikage A, I accept your challenge, come on!" Tianqi waved to A nonchalantly.

"Hmph!" Ai snorted, his legs moving so fast they seemed to disappear.

"Such speed!" Gaara also extremely shocked to see the Raikage disappear just like that.

Tianqi watched Ai's movements with admiration. To possess such speed was truly worthy of being the successor of the Third Raikage. However, his attack... Just as Tianqi was still somewhat dismissive of Ai's speed, Ai suddenly accelerated and disappeared from Tianqi's sight.

"Oh... that speed is really surprising!"

Ai Tu appeared behind Tianqi threw a punch at him, but just as it was about to hit, Tianqi vanished.

"I saw it, you can't escape!" Seeing Tianqi's moving figure clearly, Ai Yi chased after him at an even faster speed.

"Heavy Current Burst!!!" Ai grabbed Tianqi's foot and with a powerful swing, flung Tianqi off the ground.

"Bang!!!" Tianqi was slammed into the ground, instantly kicking up a large amount of dust.

"Lightning Release - Lightning Burst Technique!" Seeing that the first strike had succeeded, A quickly Hand Seals and unleashed several bolts of lightning to deliver another blow.

Seeing that the Raikage had succeeded, the three Kage and the others widened their eyes in disbelief. They had never expected that the Fourth Raikage could unleash such powerful strength. They had thought he was invincible, but it turned out he could be defeated.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Raikage with admiration.

However, while everyone admired Ai, Ai did not smile after landing. Instead, he stared at the direction where Tianqi was with utmost seriousness, because the kind of etherealization and spacetime magic his father had mentioned had not yet appeared, and he could not be careless now.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Tianqi slowly climbed out of the pit, dusted himself off, and said, "Things have really changed. I never imagined the Third Raikage's son would grow to this level. It's truly astonishing. The younger generation is surging; it seems the older generation needs to catch up quickly!"

"Lightning Release - Lightning Leopard!" Seeing Tianqi emerge, Ai dared not hesitate for a moment, quickly Hand Seals and using the power of lightning to condense a Lightning Leopard to attack.

Tianqi watched Lightning Leopard charge towards him, a slight smile playing on his lips. He transformed into a streak of blue light and appeared before Ai, delivering a powerful punch that sent him flying.

Ai, who was sent flying, spun around and landed on the wall just before hitting it, launching a counterattack. Tianqi and Ai then began a race of speed.

In this contest of speed, no one could help; the three shadows of earth, wind, and water were reduced to mere background figures, barely visible to the two combatants.

Although Ai broke through his own limits and forcibly reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm, such a small breakthrough was clearly not enough for Tianqi, who had already surpassed the Six Paths Realm. As time passed, the wounds on Ai's body inflicted by Tianqi's hammer increased, and this was only after Tianqi had gone all out.

I never expected Uchiha Tianqi to have such speed. This guy gets stronger the more he fights. If this continues, I can only be defeated. The Hollowfication that my father mentioned hasn't appeared yet. I can't fall here! Looking at Uchiha Tianqi, who is flawless and fighting harder and harder, Ai once again remembered his father's words.

"Kouichi, you are the next Raikage to inherit the name of Ai. I believe you can defeat Uchiha Tianqi in one move and wash away the shame of my father's past. I believe in you!"

Seeing Uchiha Tianqi's composed demeanor, Ai couldn't help but doubt himself. Father! Could I really defeat such a powerful enemy?

Just then, the Third Raikage seemed to appear in front of A. He gently raised a finger and said, "There is no perfect enemy. No matter how strong an enemy is, he has his weaknesses. Find his weakness and you can defeat him in one move, one move, the strongest move!"

Yes, there is no truly perfect enemy. Even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt fear fighting him. But I am the Raikage, I cannot be afraid. I almost lost myself in his oppressive aura. In that case, I will use this move to find his weakness! With that thought, A quickly increased the distance between himself and Tianqi and began to Hand Seals.

"Lightning Release - Lightning Spear!" Countless bolts of lightning condensed into countless spears, appearing in the room and completely surrounding Tianqi.

"Oh, this kind of power, that's quite interesting!" Tianqi looked at the spears surrounding him with interest. He had thought the Fourth Raikage was nothing special, but Ai had really given him a lot of surprises today.

The Lightning Spear rained down like countless drops, blocking all angles of evasion. "Show me your opening!" Ai controlled countless spears and attacked directly.

As Tianqi watched the countless spears attack, he slowly raised his right hand.

This simple action made the Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, jump. He had a feeling something bad was about to happen, and immediately shouted, "Those two lunatics! Everyone, get out of here right now!"

After shouting, Ōnoki left without paying attention to anyone else, taking his granddaughter Kurotsuchi and his guard Akatsuchi with him. Seeing the old fox Ōnoki run away, the others were not to be outdone and quickly withdrew from the stone tower building.
