The ground instantly split apart, countless cracks spreading outward like a spiderweb, but Raito vanished like a phantom once again.
Immediately afterward, an intense sense of mortal danger surged through the Fourth Raikage.
The Fourth Raikage jerked his head up, crying inwardly, This is bad!
A sharp ninja blade thrust straight toward his chest without warning. With a wet squelch!
The blade instantly pierced his steel-hard muscles, and bright red blood dripped down along its edge.
Raito looked coldly at the Fourth Raikage. "Your Body Flicker Technique certainly is fast, but against Space-Time Ninjutsu, you're still as slow as a turtle!"
He slowly withdrew his long blade, his icy gaze fixed on the Raikage.
A faint, cruel smile curled his lips.

At the sight, everyone present froze in place.
Raito!

Only Tsunade frowned, a faint, helpless smile appearing on her face.
Just then, Raito reached out and steadily caught the head falling from the sky.
He lightly tossed the Raikage's head as though playing with a ball, while the Raikage, reduced to nothing but a head, stared wide-eyed and bewildered at the scenery spinning around him.
"Am I dead? Then why doesn't it hurt at all? Why don't I feel anything unusual?"
Raito continued playing with the Fourth Raikage's head, tossing it around.
The Fourth Raikage's expression was indescribably strange as the world spun around him. Having his view whirl about like that made him nauseous.
Meanwhile, the Raikage's headless body did not fall. Instead, it began flailing its hands and grabbing blindly in every direction, like a headless fly.
"What... what the hell is going on?"
Darui turned pale at the bizarre sight and shouted at
