"I told you-"
"You're so slow!"
To Naraku, the Fourth Raikage's all-out strike looked like slow motion, riddled with openings!
Had his opponent been in perfect condition, Naraku would have either dodged with Observation Haki or countered it with Elementalization, but now there was no need.
Rather than retreating, Naraku advanced, appearing before the Fourth Raikage as if teleporting. Catching the wrist behind that powerful strike with both hands, he slammed him into the ground with a vicious shoulder throw!
Boom!
Crack...
"Urgh!"
Spiderweb cracks spread as A crashed into a deep crater, his entire body wracked with pain. Naraku's strength was so terrifying that the Fourth Raikage's internal organs seemed to have suffered severe damage.

The lightning coiling around the Fourth Raikage began to flicker and dim. Clearly, the damage Naraku's move had inflicted was a little too terrifying.
Whoosh-
Naraku swept a hand through the billowing dust, tearing it apart. Killing intent filled the air as he stomped viciously at the Fourth Raikage.
Caught between life and death, his opponent reacted quickly, scrambling up and dodging away.
Naraku immediately followed, easily keeping pace with A. His fist, growing increasingly terrifying beneath its coating of Armament Haki, hurtled toward A. A flickered like lightning, dodging the fist while turning his hand into a blade and chopping viciously at Naraku's neck.
