Two generations

The Third Unit was ambushed; the Third Raikage, the Second Tsuchikage, the Second Mizukage, and the Second Kazekage blocked their path.

The Two Generations of Raikage fought fiercely, but it was clear that the Third Raikage, as the father, had the upper hand.

"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!" the Fourth Raikage roared, his palm crackling with blinding lightning as he cleaved down from the sky.

That hand possessed the power to split mountains in two, yet the Third Raikage remained completely unmoved.

Both father and son unleashed their Lightning Release Armor, but the Third Raikage's physical body was stronger, and he managed to block the attack.

"It actually blocked it!"

Many people were astonished; could the physical body possibly withstand such an attack?

"Among all the Raikage, the Third Hokage was the Strongest skilled in both Lightning Release Armor and Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

A Cloud Shinobi revealed the Third Raikage's immense power, stating that it was no rumor that the Third Raikage could withstand the Eight-Tails.

The previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Blue B, was a gifted Ninja who was chosen as the B in the "AB" combination.

For the sake of the village, he was willing to become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. However, after the Eight-Tails was implanted in his body, he found that people's gaze towards him had changed.

Unable to tolerate this change, Blue B went berserk multiple times, and was eventually suppressed by the Third Raikage himself each time.

Can the Fourth Raikage win?

"It's difficult. The Third Raikage is the only Ninja who can fight Kazan head-on."

Aside from the Cloud Shinobi, the only ones present who truly understood the Third Raikage were the Konoha Ninja who had participated in the Land of Sound campaign.

They had witnessed Kazan and the Third Raikage fighting each other on the battlefield.

That First Shinobi World War still deeply moves them.

The scene was so violent that every punch landing on the opponent's body produced a loud thud, like steel colliding.

"Fight the demons and Ghost God of Konoha head-on?"

"That's right, even though Kazan is only a little over ten years old!"

Around ten years old...

People were speechless, but upon closer reflection, they realized there was no problem.

Ghost of Konoha rose to fame during the Third Shinobi World War, sweeping across various battlefields and almost single-handedly ending the Third Shinobi World War. By his early teens, he had become the undisputed Strongest Shinobi World, with no rivals.

Boom!

On the battlefield, the Fourth Raikage was once again sent flying.

His Lightning Release Armor was pierced by the Third Raikage's One-Handed Piercing Technique technique, leaving a bloody hole in his shoulder.

Despite the pain, the Fourth Raikage charged forward again, his elbows striking the Three Great Raikage like mountains, sending them flying, but failing to harm the Third Raikage in the slightest.

"They're both Lightning Release Armor, so how can there be such a big difference?"

"The Third Hokage's two signature techniques, besides the One-Handed Piercing Technique, known as the Strongest Spear, are the Lightning Release Armor, Absolute Defense. This high-density Lightning Release can even melt Chakra, meaning it is immune to Ninjutsu bombardment."

"Then how did your Ghost God break through his Absolute Defense?" Someone turned to look at the Konoha Ninja.

How was it broken?

The Konoha Ninja revealed that even when Kazan fought the Third Raikage, he was unable to truly break through the Third Raikage's Absolute Defense.

All he could do was send the Third Raikage flying time and time again; even after punching through mountains, he couldn't break through the opponent's armor.

After all, Kazan was really too young back then.

"Haki! Kazan's Armament Haki can penetrate Lightning Release Armor and explode inside the body."

Upon hearing this, many Cloud Shinobi wore extremely complicated expressions.

The Third Raikage died a gruesome death; his internal organs were almost completely pulverized.

"So, there's no other way?"

The Haki of the Ghost of Konoha is unique in history, even rarer than the Wood Release of the First Hokage.

"With this level of skill, you're not qualified to become the Shadow of the Cloud Shinobi, Ai!"

The Third Raikage roared, his arm transforming into Spear that pierced through the Fourth Raikage's armor as if passing through the void.

That's because I haven't used my full strength yet!

The Fourth Raikage, not to be outdone, took the blow head-on, while simultaneously slamming his fist straight towards his father's face.

Boom!

The yellow sand swirled as the battle Two Generations of Raikage was incredibly violent, a brutal, hand-to-hand combat.

The desert erupted in chaos, the two figures clashing like two thunderbolts.

Meanwhile, the other three Kage were also slaughtering the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Dust Release swept across the area like laser beams, and Sand crashed against the shore like giant waves, engulfing countless Ninja.

Among them is a miniature Second Mizukage, like a ghost doll from a horror movie, wandering among the crowd and reaping lives with the help of the thick fog.

Horrifying splattering of blood continued, and the screams of the allied forces were incessant.

This place is like a Shambles.

"Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

Just then, a violent fluctuation came from the horizon, and a beam of White Light shot straight at the Second Tsuchikage.

It's Ōnoki; he's here.

"Ōnoki?"

Too much time had passed, and Ōnoki had aged considerably, but the Dust Release that he had personally taught him proved the other party's identity.

"Lord Mu!" Ōnoki was even more decisive than the Fourth Raikage.

His face was resolute as he floated in the air, gazing at his former Teacher.

"Have you gotten this old? It's time to consider passing the torch to the younger generation."

"Seventy or eighty years old is the age for striving."

That means there's no one to carry on the family tradition.

Teacher are among the people who understand their students best. A single sentence from Ōnoki was enough to make the Rock Shinobi's current predicament completely unclear.

There's a severe shortage of talent!

"I apologize for interrupting your reunion, but now is the time for battle."

Kabuto Yakushi gave them no chance, controlling the Second Tsuchikage to make his move.

Soon, the Two Generations of Tsuchikage began exchanging Dust Release techniques.

The two flew at high speed through the air, simultaneously gathering Chakra in their palms, ready to unleash a merciless attack on each other whenever they found an opening.

They were like two flying soldiers, passionately exchanging fire in the air.

Dust Release is extremely destructive; a single strike is enough to decide the outcome between the two.

On the other side, Rasa also arrived.

He was a little slower than Ōnoki, but he arrived at the battlefield quickly.

"Magnet Release: Golden Sand Waves!"

The golden Sand surged forth with tremendous force, crashing against the shore like a tsunami.

With a loud "boom," the sandstorm stirred up by the Second Kazekage was dispersed.

Gold Dust?

Magnet Release?

Such a technique is so distinctive that even if the Second Kazekage had never met Rasa, he could roughly guess the other party's identity.

What generation are you in this village?

"Fourth Hokage!"

"The Fourth Hokage, and only a short time has passed."

The Second Kazekage lowered his eyelids slightly, lost in thought for a moment.

Many of these Impure World Reincarnation Ninja died during the First Shinobi World War.

Because Hashirama Senju was still alive when the First of each village was in office, he alone intimidated the entire Shinobi World.

As a result, the major Shinobi Village entered a period of rapid development until the outbreak of the Ninja War. In order to plunder resources and land, the Five Great Shinobi Villages fought fiercely, and even the Kage died on the battlefield.

The Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage, who lived next door, died together in the First Shinobi World War, and yet in such a short time, the Sand Shinobi has already had two new Chief.

Oh well.

Why are the Sand Shinobi Ninja alongside those from other Shinobi Village? What can the Sand Shinobi gain from this war?

All the Sand Shinobi throughout history have been the same; they've been terrified of poverty and always prioritize self-interest.

Rasa wanted to say that they had just suffered a defeat and were not qualified to talk about interests; if they continued to talk about it, the village would be bombed into ruins.

But what he said before he could finish was, "There are no more Sand Shinobi now, only the Allied Shinobi Forces!"

"The Kazekage, Raikage, and Tsuchikage of this era? I wonder what kind of people our Mist Ninja Kage are."

Seeing other people's earth against earth, wind against wind, and thunder against thunder, Hozuki Gengetsu began to fantasize about his own village becoming a modern-day Mizukage.

It's definitely better than those villages.
