After receiving such a challenge from Araki, the Third Raikage snorted angrily. "Kid, you'd better worry about yourself first!"
With that, he extended one arm forward and pressed four fingers together. Deep-blue lightning suddenly erupted, almost forming a thick aura around his body.
Crackle, crackle~
In Araki's eyes, every muscle on the Third Raikage's body swelled. His already tall and burly frame seemed to grow another size larger!
Against the flickering electric sparks, the Third Raikage stood with every strand of hair erect and veins bulging across his body. At that moment, he looked like a true god about to mete out heaven's punishment!
Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!
The dignified Third Raikage made a slight movement with his feet, and his body immediately flashed forward like a bolt of lightning.
In an instant, Araki saw a flash of sudden light before his eyes, and the Third Raikage vanished from his sight.
A streak of deep-blue lightning raced ahead. Behind it, the forcibly torn currents of air took visible form, swirling in rings as though they were escorting that speeding "bolt of lightning"!
Boom!
Only then did the violent sonic boom reach everyone's ears, while the surging airwaves split apart by sheer flesh began spreading in every direction.
"Heh. Brute-force charging, tank-style crushing... What a reckless fool with no technique whatsoever."
Araki slightly raised the corner of his lips and muttered softly.
Then he lowered his body slightly, gripped Samehada in reverse with his right hand, and a breeze rose from the tip of a blade of grass. Silently, it enveloped Araki's entire body.
Though he was about to face that enormous wooden Buddha statue, which resembled a heavenly god, Araki's heart remained calm.
His eyes lowered slightly as he entered his inner world.
[Mind's Eye: Self-Knowledge]!
His spiritual perception spread
