"Who is that? The Third Raikage?!"
Hatake Sakumo recognized the man who had suddenly appeared before them at a glance. His burly frame, the deep-blue Chakra swirling around him, and his oppressive presence all told Sakumo that the man before them wasn't an impostor.
"How did he get here?"
Sakumo asked intently, every muscle in his body taut. The pressure the Third Raikage put on him was unlike anything he had ever experienced. Even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had never made Sakumo feel this oppressed.
"Space-Time Ninjutsu! I can sense the traces of Space-Time Ninjutsu!" Minato Namikaze said gravely under his breath.
"It's the Heavenly Transfer Technique!"
After a moment's thought, Uzumaki Kuming realized how the other side had transported the Third Raikage to this battlefield. Sure enough, when he heard Kuming's words, the Third Raikage looked surprised. He glanced at Kuming and said,
"You know a lot about Kumogakure, kid! And that technique of yours that enhances your physical abilities is quite similar to the secret techniques of the Yotsuki Clan!"
"Kid, come to Kumogakure and be my son! Whatever Konoha can give you, we can give you too!"
"And are those two beside you Hatake Sakumo and Minato Namikaze of Konoha?"
The Third Raikage looked at Sakumo and Minato standing beside Kuming, his face showing interest. But his words put Sakumo and Minato on high alert, and they immediately stepped in front of Kuming.
"His son? True, this guy's beard is white too."
Hearing the Third Raikage's nonsensical remark, Kuming couldn't help thinking to himself. He gently patted Sakumo and Minato on the shoulders and said, "Sorry, but I won't leave Konoha."
"Heh, what a shame. In that case, I'll have to deal with you myself!"
"Thunderclap of Konoha!"
The Third Raikage shook his head and sighed.
