"The environment of Village Hidden in the Clouds is really strange!"
Climbing to the top of a high peak, Wang Hao looked at the Village Hidden in the Clouds, surrounded by towering mountains a hundred miles away, and couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the Naruto World.
The Naruto World is a planet, so logically the further north you go, the colder it should be. The Land of Lightning is located in the northernmost part of the Naruto World, so it should be covered in ice and snow all year round.
However, the reality is quite different. Although it's not very warm here, it's definitely not cold either. Moreover, due to the high altitude of the Land of Lightning, the sunlight and ultraviolet radiation are particularly strong.
This has resulted in the people living here having relatively dark skin, like that burly man running towards us.
"Hao of the Land of Iron, die!"
Upon seeing Wang Hao, the burly man, whose body was enveloped in countless bolts of lightning, roared and unleashed a fierce hand chop.
The hand blade was imbued with almost tangible Lightning Release Chakra, its destructive power not much less than that of the Third Raikage's Black Lightning.
Unfortunately, this hand strike, which would normally require even a Kage Level expert to temporarily evade, was nothing in front of Wang Hao.
With a flick of his right hand, the burly man, easily two meters tall, was slammed hard onto the rocky mountain below, causing the entire mountain to tremble.
The once menacing burly man turned pale instantly after this attack, his dark face turning ashen. He was unable to move an inch and was completely bewildered.
"Lord Hao, what brings you to my Village Hidden in the Clouds?"
The next instant, a bolt of black lightning shot out, and a one-armed strong man appeared in front of Wang Hao. It was none other than the long-unseen Third Raikage.
"Old Raikage, is this kid your son? He's utterly weak!"
Glancing at the burly man lying in the pit who bore a striking resemblance to the Third Raikage, Wang Hao immediately recognized the man's identity and made a sarcastic remark.
This should be the future Fourth Raikage. His strength is quite good, having already reached the Kage Level Initial Dan Peak. With a few more years of hard work, he should be able to reach the Mid Kage Level. However, he is still somewhat inferior to his father Third Raikage.
"State your purpose!"
The Third Raikage's face darkened, his gaze remaining coldly fixed on Wang Hao, his remaining right hand crackling with black lightning, ready to unleash his strongest attack at any moment.
Behind the Third Raikage, numerous bolts of lightning rushed towards them; those were the many Jonin from Village Hidden in the Clouds.
Wang Hao made no attempt to conceal himself after approaching Village Hidden in the Clouds. It was precisely because they sensed Wang Hao arrival that the Third Raikage and his son rushed over so urgently, hoping to keep him outside the Village Hidden in the Clouds.
Facing such a powerful opponent, a battle would be a Scourge. If a fight were to break out in Village Hidden in the Clouds, the entire village would likely be destroyed, something they could not afford to do.
"I want to fight you, and then we can make a deal."
Shrugging, Wang Hao paid no attention to the Third Raikage's wariness, instead observing the Jonin who had followed from Village Hidden in the Clouds.
As expected of the Village Hidden in the Clouds in the Land of Lightning, while their other attributes may not be that great, their mastery of the Lightning attribute is exceptional, with almost everyone possessing a skill in Lightning Release Nintaijutsu.
"Boy, you're too arrogant. Even the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha wouldn't dare to fight against an entire ninja village single-handedly."
The Third Raikage's anger surged; he felt that this junior, Wang Hao, was far too arrogant.
He acknowledged that Wang Hao was very strong, but not Invincible.
Despite how this kid shattered the combined power of the Five Kage back then, the Five Kage didn't actually trust each other and were always wary of one another, so they could only unleash less than half of their full strength.
That's why I was defeated by that kid.
Otherwise, if they really joined forces to surround and kill him, that kid probably wouldn't even be able to escape.
Overall, this kid has indeed reached the level of the First Hokage, but his foundation is still far inferior to that of the First Hokage.
Even the First Hokage back then wasn't enough to fight against the power of an entire ninja village. This kid coming alone is simply courting death!
" Third of old men, let's wait and see!"
With a chuckle, Wang Hao untied a huge, long box from his back.
The box was covered with Sealing Jutsu, but even so, a violent aura could be sensed from it, as if a peerless demon was sealed inside.
Using Innate Qi to break the Sealing Jutsu on the box, a surge of Blood Sha bursts forth, making one feel as if they are on a brutal battlefield, or facing an Invincible, iron-blooded army.
"This..."
The moment the box was opened, the Third Raikage couldn't take his eyes off it, and felt a calling in his heart, as if it belonged to him.
Inside the enormous box lay a Haki spiral knight's lance, similar to the lances worn by Western knights, but with an even more exaggerated and Tyrannical Dao design.
This knight's lance is three meters long, with a conical shape and a diameter of sixty centimeters at its thickest point. It also has spiral threads on it, like a drill bit.
A robotic arm is attached to the end, giving it a sci-fi feel.
This is a divine artifact that Wang Hao created during his previous seclusion, named Gungnir!
Glancing at the Third Raikage's fixed gaze, Wang Hao's lips curled into a wicked smile. He then reached his left hand onto the mechanical arm, which split open like Iron Man's suit, eventually enveloping Wang Hao's entire left arm.
That wasn't all. Intricate parts spread out from the robotic arm, forming a chest armor that completely enveloped his chest cavity, making him look like a futuristic warrior descended from a science fiction world.
"Hmm, looks like I need to recharge first!"
Sensing the remaining energy within the robotic arm, Wang Hao thought for a moment, then raised the massive spear, pointing it straight to the sky. A strange magnetic fluctuation then rippled outwards, and the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be stimulated, unleashing a massive bolt of blazing white lightning as thick as a bucket.
This bolt of lightning seemed to have flipped a switch, and one after another, bolts of lightning struck down from the thunderclouds.
Wang Hao only stopped his terrifying lightning-attracting act after receiving hundreds of bolts of lightning.
"One percent of the battery should be enough!"
Sensing the electrical energy stored in the robotic arm, and then looking at the Village Hidden in the Clouds Jonin who had already rushed forward, Wang Hao grinned maliciously and charged down with his Knockoff Gungnir spear.
The Haki spear began to spin rapidly, not only spreading sharp Tyrannical Dao lightning across its body, but also generating a powerful and chaotic electromagnetic field.
A Kage Level expert from the Village Hidden in the Clouds, who was at the forefront, slashed down with his sword. However, before the sword could reach Wang Hao, the chaotic electromagnetic field generated by the spear deflected his attack, and he was then smashed away by the rapidly spinning spear.
Wang Hao was like a tiger among sheep, wielding his electric spear and sweeping left and right. Neither the Jonin nor the Kage Level Initial Dan experts could withstand his attacks.
until...
"When!"
A black bolt of lightning flashed, and Wang Hao, caught off guard, was thrown back more than ten steps by the immense force.
Black lightning gradually coalesced, revealing a burly figure—the Third Raikage.
"Boy, Village Hidden in the Clouds is not a place for you to run wild. If you retreat now, I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, you are provoking a war, and the consequences will be something your Land of Iron cannot bear!"
Seeing that Wang Hao had only been knocked back a dozen steps, the Third Raikage was even more wary, but his aura remained domineering.
Honestly, he really didn't want to fight this prodigy, because he discovered that the kid had become even stronger in the past year, and the rate of improvement was quite exaggerated.
If a year ago this kid had only reached the initial level of the First Hokage, then now he already possesses the power of the First Hokage at his peak.
Even if the Village Hidden in the Clouds went all out against this monster, they would find it difficult to keep it alive, let alone kill it. Therefore, this battle was meaningless.
"Is that One-Finger Nukite from Hell Stab?"
Twisting his neck, Wang Hao realized that the Third Raikage must have used the Hell Stab One-Finger Nukite, otherwise even if he was caught off guard, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him.
"It just so happens that after our last battle, I also developed a move called World-Destroying Stab. Now let's see whether your Hell Stab is stronger, or my World-Destroying Stab is more lethal!"
Seeing through the Third Raikage's bluster, Wang Hao sneered, "Don't even think about running away. I still remember the ambush in the Land of Iron last year. If you don't want to see me destroy the entire Village Hidden in the Clouds, then fight me properly. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, that score will be wiped clean."
"Haha, good lad, I accept this battle!"
Sensing that Wang Hao indeed had no murderous intent, and recalling the deal the other party had mentioned earlier, the Third Raikage laughed heartily and agreed.
Since it's not a life-or-death battle, but just a friendly spar, then there's really nothing wrong with it.
Moreover, he was indeed in the wrong regarding what happened in the Land of Iron last year. If they could resolve their feud with this prodigy through a sparring match, then, to be precise, it would be a win for the Village Hidden in the Clouds!
"Bhimachi, lend me the Eight-Tails 'Chakra for a moment!"
The Third Raikage beckoned to a burly, dark-skinned boy who was supporting his son.
"Oh my god, you old man, are you going to use that move? People will die!"
The burly, dark-skinned boy Killer B, asked in a strange rapping tone, clearly knowing what the Third Raikage was about to do. A look of worry appeared on his face, indicating that the move was obviously very dangerous.
It's dangerous not only to the enemy, but also to the Third Raikage himself.
"It's alright, that kid is waiting to negotiate with me! He won't kill me!"
With a chuckle, the Third Raikage was clearly convinced that Wang Hao wouldn't actually kill him. Otherwise, if he were to kill him, all the ninjas of Village Hidden in the Clouds would surely avenge him to the death, and then there would be no point in talking about any deals.
Such an excellent experimental subject cannot be missed!
"You old bastard!"
Feeling both annoyed and amused, Wang Hao glared at the Third Raikage before turning his gaze to the burly, dark-skinned youth.
"Is that Killer B?"
In the original story, Killer B is the brother of the Fourth Raikage, but he is more than ten years younger. The Fourth Raikage's age is similar to that of his predecessor, Dan Kato, so Killer B is indeed a teenager.
Moreover, it seems that this kid has become the Eight-Tails ' Jinchūriki and seems to get along well with the Eight-Tails, otherwise he wouldn't be able to easily channel the Eight-Tails 'Chakra.
After confirming that the Third Raikage was serious, Killer B placed his hand on the Third Raikage Third Raikage's back, and crimson Chakra surged forth, enveloping both of them.
"You bastard, old man, don't die!"
After transferring nearly half of the Eight-Tails 'Chakra, Killer B weakly said something, then quickly retreated while carrying his still immobile sworn brother, A.
The other Jonin from Village Hidden in the Clouds immediately dragged their comrades who had been injured by Wang Hao and retreated at top speed. The battle that followed was no longer something they could interfere with.
"Hiss! The Chakra of the Tailed Beast is indeed powerful!"
The Third Raikage grinned and couldn't help but sigh.
The Chakra of the Tailed Beast is highly corrosive, and even the jinchūriki themselves cannot bear too much Tailed Beast Chakra at once.
Only his strong physique allowed him to withstand it for the time being, but he was still feeling very uncomfortable.
"Boy, I've never used this move since I created it, and it's completely uncontrollable. Be careful, or you'll die!"
With a bold reminder, the Third Raikage forcibly fused the Tailed Beast 'Chakra with his own black Lightning Release Chakra, transforming it into an even more violent black-red Chakra.
A violent aura surged forth, transforming into powerful gusts of wind that raged across an area of several miles.
"Indeed, the real world is far more than what is shown in movies and TV dramas."
Sensing the terrifying power of this attack, Wang Hao felt a mix of emotions, but also a sense of composure.
This attack was far from simple; it had surpassed the limits of the Kage Level and reached the destructive power of the Six Paths Level. Even he had to take it seriously.
Even the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, might not have been able to withstand it. It should be comparable to Evening Elephant, which Might Guy would unleash after opening the Eight Gates Released Formation in the future, and is only slightly inferior to the strongest Night Guy.
"Looks like I'll have to show you some real skills!"
A sinister smile reappeared on his face, and Wang Hao displayed an even more fervent fighting spirit.
This kind of battle is much more interesting!
