"Mirror! Raiga Kurosuki is an elite jonin. Don't do anything reckless!"
Hatake Kakashi's face changed dramatically!
Although Hyuga Kagami had just killed three jonin, that had been thanks to his ability to control water. But now, Raiga Kurosuki not only wielded the most powerful offensive element, Lightning, he was also an elite jonin!
An elite jonin's physical abilities, chakra, and the power of their ninjutsu
were all far beyond those of an ordinary jonin!
But it was already too late. Hyuga Kagami was enveloped by a vast torrent of lightning, as if he had stepped into the grave of death.
"Damn it!"
Hatake Kakashi's face darkened. Why hadn't he stopped Kagami just now?!
"Hahaha! This guy's another one of Konoha's geniuses, huh?"
Raiga Kurosuki looked triumphant, his voice full of excitement. "There's nothing more thrilling than slaughtering a genius! Hatake Kakashi, wipe your neck clean and wait obediently for me to kill you!"
But just then,
the lightning faded, and Hyuga Kagami shot out, arcs of electricity still dancing over his body!
He descended from the sky like the God of Thunder!
A terrifying black Great Hammer flashed with a cold, metallic sheen as it came crashing down!
"Pathetic lightning. You think that could threaten me?"
Hyuga Kagami sneered. The enormous hammer was utterly massive beside him!
"How is that possible?!"
Raiga Kurosuki couldn't believe it. "How are you still alive?!"
"My lightning struck you just now!"
This was absurd.
Though ninjas could unleash powerful ninjutsu, their bodies were extremely frail. A single B-rank jutsu or kunai could kill even a Kage Level shinobi caught off guard!
Yet his lightning had done no harm at all to the ninja before him!
"Such ignorance!"
BOOM!
The Great Hammer came crashing down!
Raiga Kurosuki hurriedly raised his sword to block. Unable to withstand the weight, his feet sank into the ground as he was shoved backward, carving out a deep trench more than ten meters long!
His hands went numb. It felt like he'd been slammed by a giant beast!
"What kind of monstrous strength is this? You've got to be kidding me!"
Raiga Kurosuki's voice trembled. He wasn't laughing anymore.
"How could a monster like this exist? Even the Raikage isn't this terrifying!"
"He took a ninjutsu head-on without a scratch!"
"And he has strength this terrifying, too?"
He drew a sharp breath, his eyes shrinking with fear.
BOOM!
A thunderous roar rang out. Hyuga Kagami gave Raiga Kurosuki no chance to react, bringing the Great Hammer in his hand crashing down again!
In his hands, the Great Hammer seemed as easy to wield as a toy. It came down with the force of a thunderbolt, striking like a violent storm, faster and faster!
"What the hell did I do to deserve this?!"
Raiga Kurosuki looked utterly miserable.
His hands were numb!
He couldn't fight back at all!
Everyone around them was dumbfounded.
Mei Terumi's eyes widened. Who would have thought this body held such terrifying strength!
The situation had reversed in an instant!
"Hatake Kakashi, have the geniuses in Konoha really become this powerful? He's completely overpowering Raiga Kurosuki! How old is he? And he's already an elite jonin?"
Hatake Kakashi gave a wry smile. "Actually, I only found out how strong Kagami was today."
He didn't reveal Kagami's age. That was classified information!
Mei Terumi froze.
You only just found out about such a powerful genius?
That made no sense!
Every ninja village would carefully protect and train a genius like that into a powerful shinobi!
Her expression turned strange as she suddenly realized something. "You're clearly hiding information, aren't you? No wonder you're the Copy Ninja and the Yellow Flash's student!"
Hatake Kakashi: "..."
What the hell were you imagining?
I really didn't know!
The two exchanged a glance, then looked toward the remaining Juzo Biwa. "The tide's turned. Juzo Biwa, you're next!"
Mei Terumi gave a soft, pleased hum, her lovely face alight with delight.
Who could have imagined the odds would turn around so quickly?
Her beautiful eyes shimmered as she gazed at Hyuga Kagami on the battlefield, wild as a ferocious beast. "Now that's a real man."
"If I could bring him over to Kirigakure... he'd be a tremendous asset to the village!"
She glanced at the Forehead Protector on Hyuga Kagami's head, her eyes full of regret.
"Such a shame... He must be from the Hyuga Branch Family, a Caged Bird Seal, imprisoned by the clan."
The Hyuga Main Family used the Caged Bird Seal to imprison members of the Branch Family.
Those of the Branch Family had no control over their own lives.
They had to obey every order from the Main Family!
She gazed at him regretfully. For a wild, Haki man like him, the Caged Bird Seal was the harshest punishment imaginable.
BOOM!
The Great Hammer in Hyuga Kagami's hands crackled with lightning, and a hint of blue appeared in his White Eyes!
He looked like the God of Thunder himself!
"Damn it! I'm Lord Raiga! How could I lose to some brat?!"
Raiga roared, his eyes full of unwillingness!
At first, he'd only been chasing Mei Terumi. It had been a simple mission.
How had things come to this, with his death seeming imminent?
Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Tornado!
The air currents surged rapidly. Lightning and electric arcs flashed as a purple lightning dragon gradually took shape. Its whiskers and mane quivered, its form lifelike, and its blood-red, savage eyes looked exactly like Raiga's!
It seemed ready to destroy everything around it!
"Just an ant's trick."
Hyuga Kagami looked disdainful as he spoke. "Thunderbolt is also an Azure Dragon's power!"
Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit: Azure Dragon Form.
It gave him more than just Flame Cloud. It gave him Thunderbolt, too!
BOOM!
The Thunderbolt Great Hammer in his hands collided with the lightning dragon. The dragon crumbled in an instant, as if it had encountered its king. The Great Hammer then slammed into Raiga's chest!
A horrifying wound caved deep into him!
His heart and organs were obliterated, smashed to pieces.
Raiga Kurosuki was dead!
"This Ninja Sword is pretty good."
Hyuga Kagami picked up the Lightning Blade and felt the Thunderbolt surging through it. He was quite pleased. "My Great Hammer is big, but this Ninja Sword is much easier to use."
"Still, it's a little lacking in weight and power."
He furrowed his brow.
His gaze casually fell on the Ninja Sword in Juzo Biwa's hands.
The Ninja Sword in Juzo Biwa's hands... was Kubikiribōchō!
Kubikiribōchō was extremely heavy. Calling it a beheading sword didn't do it justice; it was more like a giant cleaver for splitting mountains!
In the original story, its later owner, Hozuki Suigetsu, had great difficulty using Kubikiribōchō!
And... it was a bloodthirsty blade that could absorb blood and restore itself!
"A blade that can restore itself... wouldn't that be perfect for me?"
Hyuga Kagami's lips curled up. "Even if it's destroyed, it can still restore itself. That makes it the perfect weapon for me!"
He liked the Lightning Blade's properties.
He also liked Kubikiribōchō's weight and ability to restore itself!
Everyone around them was already too shocked to speak.
"He... He really just killed Raiga Kurosuki!"
Mei Terumi's eyes trembled as she drew a sharp breath!
Even she, an elite jonin herself, wasn't completely sure she could take down Raiga Kurosuki!
