Rumble...!!
The Thunderclap Bomb struck, shattering the earth further as arcs of Purple Electricity spread more than ten meters outward...!
"Guaaah...!!!"
The Raikage spat out a mouthful of blood under the crushing blow. Even the Lightning Armor around his body had grown much thinner...
Naruto's arms trembled slightly as he remarked, "Hmm, only after actually using Nintaijutsu this intense do I realize my body still can't keep up with this mode. Great! Now I have a reason to train..."
"Urgh...!" The Raikage struggled to his feet through the pain and quickly put some distance between himself and Naruto. Staring hard at the lightning around Naruto, he shouted, "How do you know that technique?!"
Naruto smiled. "Who knows?"
After thinking it over, the Raikage suddenly understood everything. "Dodai!!! That bastard!!! When I get back to the village, he'll pay for this!!!"
Naruto admonished him, "Don't be ungrateful, Raikage. Without Dodai, your casualties would only have been worse!"
"Damn it!!" The Raikage clenched his fists tightly. Even with his explosive temper, he had to admit Naruto was right!
Instead, he asked, "Why is your Lightning Release Chakra Mode different from mine?! What exactly is that purple lightning around you?!!!"
Naruto smiled. "How about this? If you want to learn, I can teach you little by little. But I'd like you to change your attitude and stop being so hostile toward me!"
Naruto meant well, but for a veteran Nintaijutsu practitioner like the Raikage, being offered instruction by a beginner was nothing short of a humiliating insult!!
He roared in fury, "Stop talking so big! You've still got a long way to go, youngster...!"
"Youngster?" Naruto replied meaningfully, "Strictly speaking, not just you-even Ōnoki is my junior. I only keep speaking respectfully out of habit..."
"Utter nonsense! Enough of your boasting! Die!!!!"
Crackle!
