By the middle of the battle, both sides were fighting at full tilt,
and had a good measure of each other's strength.
The Fourth Raikage's expression was savage. Lightning flickered all over his body as he chopped one hand toward Raijin's chest,
Raijin blocked with one arm. Ignoring the sharp pain in it, he let tangible Chakra surge around his body and threw a punch at the Fourth Raikage, backed by tremendous strength.
The Fourth Raikage tilted his head to dodge, only to see Fujin charging in. A kick accompanied by a burst of wind pressure came straight for his temple,
The Fourth Raikage cursed inwardly. What a nuisance. He tried to pull away,
but Raijin had somehow grabbed him. Both hands were sunk deep into the Raikage's shoulders. Ignoring the Lightning Release enveloping him, Raijin held him in place.
The Fourth Raikage's expression hardened. He leaned forward and headbutted Raijin away, then used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the spot.
"Those two..."
"They're a real pain to deal with."
The Fourth Raikage's expression was grave as he put some distance between them,
Although Fujin and Raijin were still slightly inferior to him in overall speed and strength, their teamwork was a headache. They fought as if they were willing to trade injury for injury, even life for injury.
More often than not, the Fourth Raikage didn't dare clash head-on with them or get tangled up in a prolonged fight.
"And..."
The Fourth Raikage watched Raijin's arm twitch as it healed in an instant.
"That rate of recovery... surely it has side effects..."
"The people of Konoha really are impressive."
"To create monsters of war like these..."
As the leader of a village, the Fourth Raikage knew full well that just two monsters like these could leave him helpless.
