Boom!!!!
The gale howled through the valley, sending shattered rocks flying through the air.
The Third Raikage's bronze arm was knotted with bulging sinew. Crackling lightning filled every inch of it with the murderous weight of countless battles, as heavy as a mountain.
Blood-red steam rose from Kamizuki's body as a scorching gale exploded outward from him. His utterly pure physique tore through the air.
With just one strike.
The collision of flesh against flesh flattened mountain peaks and sent waterfalls flowing backward.
"I know you... no, it would be more accurate to say that I have always desired you."
The Raikage spoke in a deep voice.
"But I still underestimated you. A body under Heavenly Restriction actually rivaled mine, forged through countless trials and clad in Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!
Fists and legs collided head-on, knees crashed into elbows, and the dull sounds of bodies striking one another echoed endlessly through the valley, like the unceasing rumble of Cloud Thunder Gorge.
The Raikage continued.
"I have no intention of harming you and your sister. If you are a smart man, you should know that the Uchiha have no future in Konoha."
"Even Madara Uchiha could not change your awkward circumstances. Leaving is your only choice."
"I can guess why you came here, but from beginning to end, we never intended to take your sister's life."
"I truly wanted you to join Kumogakure, at least... before today!"
The Raikage's expression turned fierce. Four fingers came together as lightning blazed!
"You actually dared... kill my important companion!!!"
"Unforgivable!!"
"Die!!!"
Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!!
Kamizuki remained expressionless, his five fingers forming a blade as well.
Hizuki Style: Quench.
Boom—!!!!!!
The clash of taijutsu unleashed an explosive shockwave almost like a natural disaster!!
