"Boom...!" The instant Thunder God Fist blasted into the ground, Sasuke flashed to the Raikage's side!!
The Raikage's eyes bulged like brass bells. Impossible. My Thunder God Fist ionizes the air, paralyzing the muscles before the blow even lands. Even if his reflexes could keep up, his body shouldn't have allowed him to dodge like that...
