"You?!"
Outside the purple Susanoo, the Third Raikage stared in disbelief at the little green man who had blocked his Hell Stab with his bare flesh.
After all, the Hell Stab—Four-Finger Nukite—was his Strongest Spear. It was sharp enough to cut off one of Gyuki's horns!
And yet now, someone had stopped his Strongest Spear with their bare flesh!
Even as the Third Raikage struggled to believe it, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret that such talent had gone to waste. "I never expected the Shinobi World to produce someone like you after my death. Tell me your name!"
"Gekko Hayate," Hayate said softly. At the same time, he cupped his left hand and formed a black Truth-Seeking Orb.
"Someone from Konoha's Gekko Clan?" The Third Raikage remembered the unremarkable clan. Then he looked at the Truth-Seeking Orb in Hayate's hand and frowned. He sensed a tremendous threat to his life emanating from it. A flash of lightning flickered over his right hand, and he swiftly leaped back.
Pretty quick.
Hayate flashed outside the Susanoo, transformed into a green streak, and pursued the Third Raikage. "Lord Third Raikage, this is a new jutsu I developed. Don't run! You were brought back with Impure World Reincarnation, so you have an Immortal Body. What have you got to be afraid of?"
At Hayate's words, the Third Raikage suddenly saw the light.
That's right!
I'm an Impure World Reincarnation body now. I have a true Immortal Body!
No matter how terrifying the jutsu is, it can't kill me anymore!
The Third Raikage's lightning halted. He turned to face the approaching green streak, his expression icy. "In that case, try my strongest move!"
Hell Stab—One-Finger Nukite!!
Roar!!
With a furious roar, the Third Raikage became a streak of lightning and thundered
