Invincible? How ridiculous!

"You're right."

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly.

Even the Wind Style Rasengan could only temporarily break through the defenses without causing any real damage, so he had no better options.

Unless the Tailed Beast Chakra within the scroll is released, or Sage Mode is entered.

That will take time.

but.

Not only did the Third Raikage and A have helpers, but he also had helpers.

Kyohiko had already anticipated that the Third Raikage's abilities would be difficult to deal with, and had previously stated that he would enter Sage Mode before coming over.

Let's calculate the time...

It should be soon!

On the other side, A used a large-scale Lightning Style to directly destroy a section of the Flying Thunder God Kunai talismans that were defending against him, and then laughed, "Minato, you were careless about one thing."

"Please speak."

Minato Namikaze was very polite.

Ai sneered, "We're waiting for our own people, and we're gathering our strength. What are you waiting for? To have Kyohiko Yoshimine run all the way from dozens of kilometers away?"

"Or do you think he can Flying Thunder God?"

The Third Raikage chuckled softly.

His positioning with A has already brought Minato Namikaze Flying Thunder God Kunai possesses, and they are slowly closing in.

"But I have mastered the Flying Thunder God and can leave at any time. What can you do to me then?"

Minato Namikaze smiled slightly.

He could already sense a subtle spatial fluctuation emanating from the previously constructed spatial passage.

Because Space Stabilization Barrier was prepared in advance, the fluctuations were very small and almost imperceptible.

but--

Excluding the caster Minato Namikaze.

He held Kunai).

The next instant, a massive burst of Chakra from the Third Raikage's body.

The powerful Chakra almost materialized, and then, from his shoulder, black lightning transformed into dark clouds that swept outwards, obscuring the entire sky.

The Third Raikage sneered, his arm like a silver spear, accompanied by bolts of lightning, closing in on Minato Namikaze.

Boom!

Black lightning raged.

The entire space seemed locked, filled with turmoil and terror.

This was an attack that the Third Raikage had been preparing for.

In an instant, he was close to Minato Namikaze. At that moment, Minato Namikaze saw clearly that the opponent's finger had turned into a single finger.

On the other side, Ai's arm slashed down like a knife.

Lightning Cruelty Level, One-Finger Nukite.

They were attacked from both sides, giving them no room to breathe.

But.

Just as the two attacks were about to hit him, Minato Namikaze vanished instantly and reappeared beside A.

It's not Space-Time Ninjutsu, but simply Body Flicker Technique.

Following closely behind--

Call out!

The Third Raikage suddenly accelerated and punched the formed Rasengan.

Boom!

Chakra collided and erupted, transforming into small air waves.

but.

At this very moment--

Bang!

Before Ai could understand what was happening, a huge cloud of dust erupted, followed by a massive aura rising up.

Then, he saw it clearly.

Above the forest, a figure was blasted away like a phantom.

Immediately following, another person arrived in Body Flicker Technique.

Shadow Leaf Dance!

The difference is that in Sage Mode, Kyohiko doesn't need to use the "Gate of Opening" from the Eight Inner Gates at all; he can do it directly using his own abilities and speed.

The Third Raikage's cheeks trembled.

That was incredibly powerful!

He used his Lightning Armor, combined with his own physical body, and even the Eight-Tails couldn't break through his defenses, but the attacker just now...

Who exactly is he?

Jiraiya, huh?

Impossible!

Jiraiya should be on the Land of Hot Water side!

The Third Raikage's mind went blank; he maintained the release of Chakra, keeping his Lightning Armor at its strongest.

but--

Another punch!

Bang bang bang!

The repeated punches, though intensely painful, only fueled his excitement.

long time...

It had been a long time since anyone had made him feel such pain!

The Third Raikage gritted his teeth and persevered. As he was struck by another punch, his shoulder jerked, and he lashed out with his other hand.

At the same time, the Black Lightning inside his body and on his arm erupted again.

Lightning Style: Black Spot!

He combined the two attacks and charged at the person behind him.

Laugh!

He felt his fingers pierce the other person.

I won!

However.

Bang!

With one punch, his black spots were shattered.

and.

His own attack seemed to have failed to harm the opponent at all.

The Third Raikage was secretly astonished; such an ability was rare even in the entire Shinobi World.

He realized who the other person was.

Kyohiko Yoshimine!

No Jiraiya today's standards, possesses such ability; only this mysterious genius has it.

He suddenly turned around in mid-air, his hand slashing backward like a knife.

The air was almost torn apart.

However.

What he struck was merely an afterimage.

Flying Thunder God.

The Third Raikage understood everything.

Not only Minato Namikaze of Konoha mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, but Kyohiko also mastered this Ninjutsu.

but.

He realized it a little too late.

The next second, the Third Raikage sensed that the attack was different.

Wind Style Rasengan!

He was attacked by Minato Namikaze.

That...

He immediately sensed something was wrong.

really.

The Wind Style Rasengan descended.

Although the Third Raikage immediately countered with his shoulder, hitting Minato Namikaze's hand, he himself also took a solid hit.

The next second.

A powerful attack followed immediately.

One finger!

The Chakra, infused with Wind Style nature transformation, transformed into needle-like forms with his finger and pierced directly into his body.

Laugh!

The destructive power of Wind Style was so great that even Lightning Armor could not withstand it, and Kyohiko's Senjutsu Chakra was something that even the Third Raikage's physical body could not resist.

At this moment, the Third Raikage finally felt even more intense pain.

Fortunately, he dodged in time and was not hit directly.

The Third Raikage immediately swept one hand across, forcing Kyohiko back as well.

In the blink of an eye.

He and his Shadow Clone landed together from the air.

However.

The Third Raikage's joy didn't last long before he sensed something was wrong.

A strange Chakra was growing within him, seemingly absorbing and devouring his power, and then giving birth to new Chakra.

Raikage glanced down, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

A patch of green was quietly growing at his wound site, disrupting his body's balance.

This is...

Wood Release Ninjutsu!

This can't go on!

Otherwise, both of them would die here.

He coughed up large amounts of blood.

The two opponents were quite fast; even without the Flying Thunder God, it would be almost possible to keep up with their speed, while Ai...

He's fine now, but once the other side targets him, defeat or even death is only a matter of time.

The terrifying power of Flying Thunder God...

This time he truly felt it.

In particular, the Flying Thunder God combined with the power of Kyohiko Yoshimine.

This is practically a combination of Senju Tobirama and Hashirama Senju.

They're clearly not pure-blooded descendants of the Senju Clan, so how can they be so powerful?

He dared not slacken his efforts, and with a clap of his hands, both his main body and his Shadow Clone simultaneously unleashed black lightning.

"Father!"

Ai Body Flicker Technique past, then was filled with horror.

In his mind, his father's armor was an indestructible and absolute defense, but at this moment, it too had been severely damaged.

this...

How is that possible?

The Third Raikage wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's go! Continuing this entanglement will do us no good!"

"Yes!"

Ai threw a punch, causing a group of trees behind him to collapse, creating chaos and propelling himself backward.

Trees, lightning, and the Double Black Spot wove together a power grid, cutting off the pursuit direction of Kyohiko and Minato Namikaze.

However.

The next moment, two figures appeared beside them simultaneously.

Then...

Whoosh!

A and Minato Namikaze disappeared at the same time.

"Ai!"

Enraged, the Third Raikage unleashed a powerful attack on Kyohiko.

One-Finger Nukite...

With just a slight swipe, before it even touched anything, Kyohiko's arm was already cut.

This was still Kyohiko was in Sage Mode.

If he weren't in Sage Mode, Kyohiko would have a really hard time fighting the Raikage.

This guy is really scary!

so.

He chose to "kidnap" the easier-to-use future Fourth Raikage A, instead of the Third Raikage A.

Kyohiko took a step back, and the wound on his arm healed rapidly under the effect of Yin Healing Wound Destruction.

The Third Raikage's eyes darkened.

This guy...

He is proficient in all three Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Medical Ninjutsu

even.

They also possess this strange power, and the legendary Wood Release!

What exactly is it that the other person can't do?

In addition, he quickly thought about how the other party had used Flying Thunder God to get to their side.

It shouldn't be Ai.

More likely...

He!

The Third Raikage looked at his chest, where a sapling was growing, its Chakra spreading and drawing the shape of the Flying Thunder God Formula around him.

really.

He looked up at Kyohiko Yoshimine.

"Your alliance with Minato Namikaze is terrifyingly powerful."

Minato Namikaze Kyohiko Yoshimine are also very strong individually.

But.

In the Third Raikage's view, either of them individually would be relatively easy to deal with.

Join forces...

Even he would be extremely difficult to deal with.

Unless we can find a way to ban the Flying Thunder God.

otherwise--

Even if the opponent is in a disadvantageous situation, they can leave using the Flying Thunder God as before. It's almost wishful thinking to defeat the two of them working together.

"Now is not the time for praise. Danzo already feels your praise deeply."

Kyohiko said calmly.

Senjutsu Chakra is incredibly powerful, but it's also consumed very quickly.

In particular, he also performed a long-distance Flying Thunder God.

but.

If the Raikage still wants to fight, he has a Wood Clone that can be deactivated and returned to its original form.

so.

He was fearless, standing about ten steps away from the Third Raikage.

"Lord Raikage, if you don't want anything to happen to your son, you'd better send someone to Konoha to explain things clearly, otherwise..."

"I have no choice but to conclude that you are colluding with Konoha, missing-nin from Danzo, in an attempt to harm my Land of Fire!"

"At that point, it wouldn't be impossible for them to declare war."

The confidence radiating from Kyohiko's face greatly displeased the Third Raikage, but his son's condition also worried him.

The Third Raikage took a deep breath.

He hadn't faced such a threat in a long time, but he had to admit that the other party's goal was very clear, leaving him no choice but to admire and accept it.

Behind them, figures rapidly approached, with Killer B being the first to arrive.

"Lord Raikage, where is my elder brother?"

Killer B looked around but didn't see A. Instead, he spotted Kyohiko Yoshimine from Konoha, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Brother, you wouldn't...

Kyohiko smiled slightly and greeted him politely, "Killer B- senpai, Konoha also welcomes you. I think there's room for negotiation between us."

The Third Raikage understood.

"You want a method to control Jinchuriki?"

"It's not about control; you should know what we want."

Kyohiko said calmly.

The Third Raikage took a deep breath and said, "Release A, and everything can be discussed."

"Senior Ai will be alright, provided... you understand."

After Kyohiko finished speaking, he bowed politely, and then the Flying Thunder God disappeared.

During their conversation, Killer B unusually remained silent.

He worried that his every word and action would affect his elder brother's safety and the future of the village.

Until the other party leaves.

He then whispered, "Lord Raikage, my elder brother..."

He'll be fine.

The Third Raikage closed his eyes, looked at the sapling with characters appearing on his chest, took a deep breath, and was about to pluck it out...

"Lord Raikage, let us do it!"

A boy ran up quickly.

The Medical Team quickly caught up with him.

hope.

This name also carries a sense of heritage.

The boy before them was none other than the next "Xi" chosen by the Third Raikage.

He remained silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.

A few minutes later, the sapling was finally removed.

It was rooted in flesh and blood, absorbing the Chakra of the Third Raikage, and withered and dissipated immediately after being separated from flesh and blood.

Looking at its pattern, the Third Raikage understood.

My momentary carelessness and haste led to the death of my son.

If he hadn't rushed things and removed the Chakra from his chest first, Ai wouldn't have been kidnapped. But now it's too late to say anything.

However.

All of this is because...

He's been invincible for far too long!

Especially after his battle with the Eight-Tails, he almost believed that no one in the world could break through his absolute defense, which is why he acted so recklessly.

Today, I finally stumbled.

The Third Raikage sighed, "This defeat was truly due to my overconfidence. Fortunately, it didn't cause too much damage..."

Invincible?

I'm so ridiculous.

"Lord Raikage."

The surrounding ninjas looked worried.

After a brief period of depression, the Third Raikage, seeing everyone's concerned looks, immediately burst into hearty laughter again.

"Hahaha!"

"It's nothing, everyone don't need to worry. I'll explain to His Feudal Lord situation. Besides, this was just a chance test anyway."

Then he got up.

"The operation has failed. Let's go back to the ship."

"Big brother..."

Killer B, however, couldn't forget it.

The Third Raikage patted him on the shoulder. "Let's go, your older brother will be alright."

He walked very slowly, each step heavy, as if he had lost his former high spirits and invincible demeanor.

Killer B shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.

He realized--

Compared to himself, the Third Raikage, as A's father, was actually the one who cared about A the most.

However, Lord Raikage needs to hide his emotions...

He followed silently behind.

The Raikage is reflecting.

The reason the two from Konoha were able to defeat him and A was that they could keep up with their speed, and they both mastered powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu.

What about their Kumogakure?

While there are a few scattered ninjas who master other types of Ninjutsu, such as Taijutsu, swordsmanship, and Lightning Style, they are not numerous.

But...

Researching Ninjutsu requires funding, personnel, and equipment.

I wish they could get Danzo!

The Third Raikage sighed inwardly.

This was a complete disaster; they tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, suffering a huge loss!
