In that case, it looks like we need to finish this quickly.

On the field!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

One blue and one red figure crossed paths as they rapidly closed in on Kakashi. They were the Fourth Raikage and Killer B.

Strike while the iron was hot—although they knew Kakashi had not suffered much damage, they still decided to press their advantage and launch a fierce assault while they still held the upper hand.

"Heh!"

"Looks like this will be a tough fight!"

A helpless smile appeared beneath his black mask, followed by a crimson glow rising from Kakashi's body.

Fire-nature chakra surged wildly from within him, and crimson and dark blue light swiftly coursed over his body.

The charging Raikage noticed the change in Kakashi almost instantly, and his expression abruptly changed.

Fire and lightning were inherently the two most violent of all chakra natures. Even someone like him, who had merely developed lightning-nature chakra to a certain extent, possessed strength that put him above the masses.

He had not expected that Kakashi, who already surpassed him in lightning-nature chakra, had now developed his fire-nature chakra to such a degree as well. If that were all, the Fourth Raikage would only have been surprised, but he could still have barely accepted it.

But Kakashi's current display showed that he had fused fire and lightning, the two most violent chakra natures, into one. It was something he had never seen before.

On the other side, Killer B, wrapped in dark crimson energy, did not think that much about it. At that moment, he had only one thought: defeat Kakashi.

Boom!

Killer B suddenly exerted himself and reached Kakashi first. Without the slightest hesitation, he launched his attack, his long blade slashing down viciously once more.

"B, be careful. That state of his..."

At that moment, the Eight-Tails gave an uneasy warning from within
