"Damn it, this is unforgivable!"
The Raikage was so furious he nearly ground his teeth to pieces. After laying Morai's body to rest, he turned and glared furiously at Kakuzu and Hidan:
"You'll pay for this blood debt with your blood! You dared set foot in Kumogakure's territory and hurt its shinobi! Today... neither of you is leaving!"
"Aaaaaah!"
The Raikage clenched his fists and roared. Vast amounts of lightning instantly surged around his powerful body.
Even his hair stood straight up, strand by strand.
"This is... Lightning Armor at its strongest!" C was startled by the sight. It had been a long time since he had seen Lord Raikage use his second state.
Darui said, "Hmph, the boss is getting this serious right from the start. These two... are dead!"
C said cautiously, "There's something that's really bothering me right now: that immortality ability Morai just mentioned..."
Expressionless, Darui drew the large sword from his back:
"Whether they can die or not, we'll know once we try. C, you don't need to move. Stay where you are and support us when you see an opening. The boss and I will handle those two. Use that move first!"
"Understood." C nodded and quickly brought his arms together. "Lightning Illusion: Lightning Pillar!"
As soon as he spoke, C's entire body turned into lightning. Its radiance spread farther and farther, so blinding that Kakuzu and Hidan could not even open their eyes.
"Damn it, what kind of ninjutsu is this?!"
"Careful, Hidan! This should be a diversion! Their attack is probably coming any moment!"
Kakuzu had guessed correctly. The next instant, he and Hidan simultaneously sensed two powerful surges of killing intent beside them.
Right on top of them!
Before they could react.
The Raikage drove a powerful punch into Hidan's chest.
