Rumble!
Crackle!
Dark clouds blanketed Cloud-Thunder Gorge, Lightning Snakes dancing wildly through the sky.
"Again!"
An elderly man with dark brown skin, pale blond hair, and a thick beard shouted fiercely.
Two young men dressed in styles remarkably similar to his stood before and behind him. One of them even bore a sixty-percent resemblance to him.
"Got it, Pops!"
A took several deep breaths, and blue lightning once again crawled over his bronze right arm.
"Yo, yo, Pops, you better get ready~"

Two currents of lightning, so deep they were nearly black, bloomed in his hands. He raised his palms like blades and spun, meeting the AB Brothers' thunder-charged elbows with two perfectly timed hand chops.
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"
Rumble!
Four arms collided, lightning intertwining. After holding out for barely a second, the young A and Killer B were flung away, each crashing into the rock walls behind them and kicking up clouds of dust. Meanwhile, the Third Raikage remained completely relaxed, not even out of breath.
"Get up quickly. We're continuing!"
The Third Raikage gave them no time to rest and immediately urged them on.
"Lord Raikage! Lord Raikage!"
At that moment, a young ninja wearing a black cap and an eyepatch shouted from outside the training grounds.
"Hm? Dodai?"
The Third Raikage was somewhat surprised,
