Amid the scorched battlefield, the reanimated Third Raikage lay buried deep in the earth, having smashed out an enormous crater like a collapsing mountain.
The brilliant lightning no longer raged. Only silence remained.
The arrogance had vanished from the Third Raikage's face, leaving only numbness.

"Just one person?"
"Does he think we're too weak, or... has he lost his mind?"
"Or does he think we're only worth sending a shadow clone against?"
Mu's expression was grave,
