Control Lifted! March on Sunagakure!

A huge, azure spherical lightning bolt condensed in the air,

while below it stood a thick earthen wall, released by several Stone Ninja together.

Rumble!

The spherical lightning bolt came crashing down. The thick, heavy earthen wall failed to hold for more than a few seconds before collapsing like dead wood before a raging storm.

The few Stone Ninja could not withstand it at all. They were blasted directly into charred corpses by the spherical lightning.

This was the advantage of elemental superiority. A Lightning Release Ninja could kill several Earth Release Ninja in one blow!

Ōnoki floated in the air, preparing to condense Dust Release and kill the Kumogakure ninja.

"Your opponent is me, Ōnoki!!" the Third Raikage shouted.

As he spoke, his figure flashed rapidly, and he punched Ōnoki at incredible speed.

Lightning flickered. That solid punch pierced straight through Ōnoki's body!

Splurch!

Ōnoki's body turned into mud and scattered across the ground. It was an Earth Clone!

"Don't underestimate my age, Raikage!" Ōnoki's voice rang out high above. A Dust Release technique had already been brewing in his hands for some time.

Boom!

A perfectly cut square crater appeared in the earth, but the Raikage dodged the Dust Release at incredible speed.

The moment the Raikage landed, he discovered that several enormous stone giants were already standing all around him.

"Earth Release: Multiple Golem Technique!" Ōnoki called out the technique's name.

Several gigantic stone giants slammed down at once. Even the Third Raikage struggled to break free from their immense strength.

"Now! Sealing Squad!" Ōnoki shouted with his eyes wide.

"Sorry, but I've already killed them all." A blood-covered figure appeared in front of Ōnoki.

Behind her lay more than a dozen Stone Ninja corpses. They were, astonishingly, the Sealing Squad ninja entrusted with an important mission.
