The two traded insults from a distance, their tempers rising with every exchange until their accumulated suspicions and schemes erupted!
Clang!
An ear-piercing burst of concentrated chakra rang out!
The two elite Kage-level fighters dropped all pretense!

The Dust Release spread out in an instant!
Boom!
An earth-shaking collision thundered out!
The lightning-clad iron fist slammed into the Dust Release barrier!

The piercing ring of clashing metal went on and on!
Lightning rampaged against the Dust Release barrier, yet could not penetrate it in the slightest!
The Third Raikage's eyes reddened, and the lightning around his arm surged again!
"Break!"

Ōnoki hovered in midair, rapidly forming hand seals, his aged body as steady as a mountain.
