Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
Shihōin Naraku was very interested in that extreme speed, enough to rival the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God.
He also wanted to know whether his own speed could keep up with his opponent-or surpass him.
It was rare to encounter a decent opponent, and Naraku felt excited for the first time in a long while.
Accustomed to throwing powerful moves around everywhere, he also wanted a thoroughly satisfying taijutsu battle against an evenly matched opponent.
The Fourth Raikage was a very suitable choice!
Flames blazed in one pair of eyes!
Lightning flashed in another pair of pupils!
As his aura gradually gathered and rose, the lightning surrounding the Fourth Raikage crackled. His muscles bulged, and his sturdy body visibly grew even bulkier.
Watching the Cloud Ninja being overwhelmed by the Konoha Ninja, the Fourth Raikage grew even angrier. The next second, he appeared as though he had teleported in front of a Konoha Ninja about to kill a Cloud Ninja, his hammer-sized fist poised to smash into the Konoha Ninja's head.
It was easy to imagine that, struck by a fist containing such tremendous power, the Konoha Ninja could bid this world farewell right then.
Smack!
With a soft sound, a pale, seemingly somewhat supple hand caught the Fourth Raikage's wrist in the nick of time. His iron-hard fist could advance no farther.
"What are you trying to do to my subordinate?!"
A smile appeared on Shihōin Naraku's lips, and a rare trace of fighting spirit surfaced in his eyes.
Only then did the Konoha Ninja and Cloud Ninja locked in mortal combat react. Neither had noticed when his own leader had appeared.
The Konoha Ninja broke into a cold sweat. Looking at the fist right before him, he already understood what had happened.
