Orochimaru rested one hand on his hip, considering how to escape.
With his current frail body, he had absolutely no chance of taking the A-B duo head-on.
Of course, he did not mind letting Hiruko and Shinnō suffer a little, testing their current strength along the way so he could decide how to deal with them in the future.
Just then, the Fourth Raikage moved. His figure vanished instantly, turning into a blue bolt of lightning that appeared right in front of Orochimaru.
Short-tempered by nature, he had little patience for waiting.
Before Orochimaru could react, the gust from the incoming fist struck his face. Like a punctured balloon, he instantly deflated, turning into a shed snakeskin.
The next moment, several venomous snakes emerged from the snakeskin, baring their gleaming fangs.
The snakes lunged at the Fourth Raikage, but before they could reach him, they collapsed as though electrocuted, falling to the ground and dissolving into wisps of smoke.
By then, electric currents enveloped the Fourth Raikage's entire body. He had entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
After dispatching the Snake Clone in a single blow, the Fourth Raikage flashed forward and lunged at Hiruko nearby.
Following the Fourth Hokage's death, the Fourth Raikage, who had mastered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, had become the fastest man in the Shinobi World, and his strength ranked among the very best as well.
With speed and strength on their side, Kumogakure's A-B duo had become widely recognized as the strongest in the Shinobi World.
As Hiruko struggled to hold his own, Shinnō joined the battle. He was an enemy of Kumogakure, having stolen a Medical Forbidden Technique from the village.
Nearby, Orochimaru had no chance to relax. After using a clone to evade the Fourth Raikage, he found himself tied down by Killer B
