Boom!

Seiryū stomped on the ground, his immense strength shattering the earth beneath his feet.

Using that force, he shot forward and instantly vanished from where he had been standing.

The Kumo shinobi could only see a streak of light. Their naked eyes could not track him at all.

If he had charged toward them instead.

They would not have been able to react!

”Eat one of my meatballs!”

He crossed the short distance in an instant and appeared directly in front of the Third Raikage.

A humming sound came from his hand as a purple Rasengan spun at high speed and pressed toward the Third Raikage!

The Third Raikage’s eyes remained cold, and he said nothing.

His Lightning Release Chakra Mode enhanced his reflexes, allowing him to instantly track Seiryū’s movements.

He clenched his right hand into a fist. Lightning danced across the Lightning Release Armor covering his body, coating his fist as well.

Then he threw a punch to meet the descending Rasengan!

Boom!

The two attacks collided in an instant, producing a thunderous explosion.

Waves of air rolled outward as shockwaves spread in every direction.

Sizzle!

A Rasengan created from Dragon Vein Chakra was even more powerful.

It forced the Third Raikage’s fist backward and sent him sliding across the ground.

His feet carved a trail more than ten meters long before he finally steadied himself.

”Again!”

Seiryū laughed loudly.

Under his control, the Golden Chains transformed into whips and lashed out wildly, trying to crush the Third Raikage from every direction.

The assault was as dense as a torrential downpour!

”Sealing Jutsu? No, what kind of technique is this?”

The moment the Third Raikage steadied himself, he saw the Golden Chains attacking from all sides.

Each lash contained immense power and made the air explode.

At first, he thought they were the Uzumaki Clan’s Adamantine Sealing Chains.

But the Adamantine Sealing Chains did not move like this, as though they were extensions of the user’s arms.

They were incredibly flexible and possessed astonishing strength.

This was definitely not the Adamantine Sealing Chains!

Crackle!

The Third Raikage pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit.

Lightning danced violently across his body as an even more powerful Chakra fluctuation erupted from him!

Boom, boom, boom!

Tracking the Golden Chains’ trajectories, the Third Raikage swung his arms.

His movements were as fast as lightning, leaving only afterimages behind as he struck.

A series of explosions rang out as he blocked every attack!

Hum!

At that exact moment, an even sharper humming sound rang out.

A purple Rasengan more than ten meters wide rested atop one of the Golden Chains!

Rumble!

The Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan contained terrifying power.

When it struck, the earth shattered, leaving behind an enormous crater!

However, the Third Raikage was nowhere to be seen.

He had escaped with overwhelming speed!

”Where do you think you’re going?”

Seiryū’s perception covered the entire area.

His special vision tracked the Third Raikage’s movements.

With a flash, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear at the nearest marked location!

He drew back his right arm as Chakra surged through it, then threw a punch that made the air tremble!

”Hmph!”

The Third Raikage’s ears twitched as he sensed a powerful gust approaching from his left.

He did not have time to prepare the Hell Stab, so he countered with an ordinary punch!

Boom!

The moment their fists collided, another explosion rang out, and the ground around them cracked apart!

Crackle!

The Third Raikage exerted force through his right arm and blocked Seiryū’s incoming fist without retreating.

The lightning dancing around him became even more violent.

Moving swiftly, he raised his left arm and transformed it into a hand blade as Lightning Release Chakra condensed around it.

It formed an almost tangible blade capable of cutting through steel!

Slash!

The hand blade descended, intending to sever Seiryū’s arm.

It even sliced through the air itself.

However, it struck nothing.

Seiryū had already dodged using teleportation.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was instantaneous.

As long as Seiryū could react in time, almost no attack could hit him!

Flying Thunder God Seals already covered the surrounding area.

Seiryū appeared elsewhere, formed a hand seal, and pointed forward.

”Bakudō 61: Rikujōkōrō!”

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Golden light appeared and closed around the Third Raikage’s waist, attempting to restrain him!

Rip!

This time, the Third Raikage did not dodge.

Instead, he reached out and tore Rikujōkōrō apart before it could fully form, causing it to scatter into fragments of light.

It had failed!

”Lightning Release: Black Lightning Earth Flash!”

Dense Black Lightning erupted violently from the Third Raikage’s body.

It spread outward from him and covered a vast area.

But Seiryū avoided it by stepping through the air!

Thump, thump, thump!

Seiryū stepped on the air as Chakra bows appeared at the tips of the wildly moving Golden Chains.

The bows drew back and fired, sending a rain of Chakra arrows downward.

The attack covered such a wide area that it was impossible to evade!

Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

Each arrow exploded upon striking the ground.

They possessed considerable power, but they could not shake the Third Raikage’s Lightning Release Armor in the slightest!

”Is dodging and hiding all you can do?”

”Catch me first, then talk!”

The Third Raikage’s eyes darkened, and his expression became unpleasant.

Catching someone whose speed was no slower than his own and who also possessed Space-Time Ninjutsu?

That was nearly impossible!

”You’re not the only one here!”

The Third Raikage decisively changed targets.

With the protection of his Lightning Release Armor, he ignored the incoming arrows and charged toward Tsunade!

Tsunade was also someone who needed to be eliminated!

Tsunade, who had been absorbing natural energy and preparing to enter Sage Mode, noticed the Third Raikage’s movement.

However, she did not stop.

Seiryū would not simply watch as she was attacked!

”Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

Seiryū appeared in front of Tsunade.

Looking at the rapidly approaching Third Raikage, he curled his lips into a brilliant smile.

He formed a seal with one hand.

”Hadō 73: Sōren Sōkatsui!”

Whoosh!

Brilliant pale flames spread from Seiryū’s palm, covering a vast area in front of him.

Unless one possessed Space-Time Ninjutsu, dodging was impossible!

”Such powerful Fire Release.”

The surging pale flames contained terrifying heat and destructive force, causing the Third Raikage to narrow his eyes.

However, he neither dodged nor retreated.

He relied on his powerful Lightning Release Armor and forced his way through!

Sizzle! Crackle!

The lightning armor surrounding his body crackled violently.

Its defense was astonishing, keeping the flames from touching him while producing a series of rapid sounds.

”Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite!”

The Third Raikage forced his way through the curtain of flames and continued charging forward.

He extended his right index finger as Lightning Release Chakra condensed around it.

It transformed into an indestructible spear that tore through the flames and stabbed straight ahead!

”Quite determined, but will it help?”

The roar of the flames was deafening, yet it could not drown out the mocking voice that reached his ears.

The Third Raikage’s expression shifted slightly.

”Super Strength: Ikkotsu!”

The low shout came from close by.

The Third Raikage instinctively tried to withdraw his attack and dodge.

But he was already a step too late!

The curtain of flames ahead suddenly shook and burst apart as a fist emerged from within, smashing toward him.

The punch contained terrifying power, compressing the surrounding air until it seemed to solidify!

Rumble!

Because of the difference in height, Seiryū’s punch slammed directly into the Third Raikage’s chest!

Powerful Chakra erupted instantly.

The Super Strength Technique gave the strike even greater penetrating power, allowing it to bypass the surface and damage the body from within!

”Cough!”

The terrifying force passed through the Lightning Release Armor.

Although much of its power had been reduced, the remaining force still struck the Third Raikage’s body.

Even with his powerful physique, his breastbone caved in slightly, and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood!

The terrifying force sent him flying across a great distance.

He smashed through everything in his path before finally crashing into the ground.

Boom!

An enormous crater appeared in the earth.

”Lord Raikage!”

”Damn it! Why does this brat possess such terrifying strength?”

”Is he really only eleven or twelve years old?”

The Kumo shinobi watched with wide eyes, their hearts filled with shock and fear.

Even their strongest shinobi, the Third Raikage, could not defeat this boy who was only eleven or twelve?

Why had such a monster appeared in Konoha?

”No wonder he killed A and Killer B. Even Konoha’s Third Hokage might not possess this kind of strength.”

Amid the swirling dust in the crater, the Third Raikage leaped back out.

The strike had injured him.

But it had not taken away his ability to fight!

His body was naturally powerful, and injuries of this level were still within his tolerance!

The Third Raikage wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and fixed his cold gaze ahead.

”Only eleven or twelve years old. Far too young.”

Hearing about Seiryū from Dodai was entirely different from experiencing his strength personally.

Seeing was believing.

He had never expected an eleven or twelve-year-old brat to possess such terrifying power.

It filled him with deep vigilance and killing intent.

The opponent was too young.

Far too young.

He absolutely could not be allowed to continue growing!

Crackle!

Training the Lightning Release Chakra Mode was extremely difficult.

It required a powerful physique. Otherwise, the user’s body could not withstand the burden.

And at that moment.

The Third Raikage overloaded his Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

The sound of thunder became even sharper, the lightning surrounding him grew more violent, and parts of his skin began to blacken under the electrical current.

With intense killing intent in his heart, he made a decision.

Even if he had to pay a heavy price.

He would kill both of them here!

”You must die!”

The Third Raikage exhaled a stream of white air.

His eyes were cold, and his killing intent permeated the surroundings.

He kicked off the ground and charged again.

This time, he was even faster, and his momentum was even more violent!

”He can increase it even further? As expected of the strongest Raikage.”

Even Tsunade, who had entered Sage Mode, could not clearly track the Third Raikage with her eyes.

She could only see several afterimages.

She could not help feeling shocked!

Fortunately, Sage Mode allowed her to sense the Third Raikage’s movements through the changes in natural energy around her.

Tsunade stepped forward and threw a punch, making the air tremble!

Rumble!

The next moment, Tsunade’s fist collided with the Third Raikage’s.

The resulting shockwave swept through the surrounding area!

”Such heavy force!”

Tsunade immediately retreated after the impact.

The instant their fists collided, she sensed danger and used the force to pull back.

Otherwise, she might have been sent flying!

She had not expected the Third Raikage’s punch to be so heavy.

Even her Sage Mode-enhanced Monstrous Strength had been overpowered!

”Be careful. He’s completely serious now. It looks like he intends to keep us here.”

Seiryū spoke to Tsunade while keeping his perception locked on the Third Raikage.

Seeing him charge again, Seiryū did not dare become careless.

The opponent was too fast for Bakudō to restrain.

Seiryū formed a seal with one hand and shouted in a low voice.

”Hadō 66: Hyōga Seiran!”

Ice-based Kidō had a crowd-control effect.

Against a fast opponent, it could interfere with their movements and reduce their speed!

Whoosh!

Cold air surged outward as a bone-chilling wind blew across the battlefield.

Everything ahead froze, and ice crystals spread across the ground.

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and snowflakes began falling from the sky.

”Your methods truly are endless. You’ve even mastered Ice Release.”

The cold air struck him, but it did not greatly affect the Third Raikage.

Of course, his speed was inevitably reduced somewhat.

This brat even possessed the Ice Release of Kiri’s Yuki Clan?

What exactly was he?

”However, no matter what other trump cards you possess, you and that woman will both die here!”

The Third Raikage smashed through the protruding ice spikes and once again extended his index finger.

His forward momentum was like a speeding train, while his fingertip resembled a spear pointed straight ahead!

”Bakudō 81: Dankū!”

The Third Raikage was too fast.

Seiryū did not have time to chant, so he directly used Senjutsu Chakra to manifest the Dankū Wall.

He placed it in front of himself to block the attack!

Boom! Crack!

As expected of the strongest spear, the Hell Stab!

Seiryū’s Dankū, empowered by the Dragon Vein Chakra Mode and the Sixth Gate: Gate of View, could withstand attacks approaching the level of a Perfect Susanoo.

Yet it shattered beneath the Third Raikage’s Hell Stab.

In terms of concentrated offensive power, the Third Raikage was even stronger than the Madara they had faced!

A piercing attack concentrated its power into a single point and possessed greater lethality than the broad, sweeping attacks of Susanoo!

Fortunately, Seiryū had prepared for this.

The piercing finger was powerful, but not beyond his ability to handle.

”Rasengan!”

Using the same method as before, Seiryū relied on his powerful perception to track the attack’s trajectory.

He smashed the Rasengan into the back of the Third Raikage’s hand and forced the attack off course!

”Die!”

But this time, the Third Raikage was prepared as well.

After breaking through the defense, he had already withdrawn the force from the Hell Stab and prepared another strike.

Although his right hand was knocked aside, his left hand had already clenched into a fist and punched forward.

The entire sequence happened in the blink of an eye!

”Hmm?”

The sudden follow-up attack caught Seiryū by surprise.

But his reaction was extremely fast, and he vanished in a flash!

”You can dodge, but she can’t!”

Even after his attack missed, the Third Raikage did not stop.

Instead, he immediately turned toward Tsunade!

Tsunade was weaker than that brat!

His speed gave him the advantage, and it would be very difficult for her to evade his attacks.

That was her weakness!

”Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!”

Being treated as the weak point made Tsunade extremely unhappy.

He actually looked down on her?

She was clearly Seiryū’s Sensei!

Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

She formed hand seals and poured Senjutsu Chakra into the ground.

The earth shook violently as a vast forest surged upward, instantly transforming the area into dense woodland.

Trees and branches rushed forward, crushing everything in their path with unstoppable force!

Swish, swish, swish!

The Third Raikage’s speed was simply too great.

Compared to him, the spreading forest seemed to move like a snail.

Despite the overwhelming number of trees, they could not touch him.

He dodged them with ease and steadily closed in on Tsunade!

”He’s too fast.”

Seeing this, Tsunade gritted her teeth.

Speed-focused shinobi were indeed troublesome.

Moreover, the Third Raikage’s attacks were also extremely powerful.

If she had to face him alone.

Her chances of losing would be very high.

She was not skilled at dealing with speed-focused shinobi, something she had already learned from sparring with Seiryū.

Seiryū often kept his distance and attacked from angles she could not easily counter.

It was difficult for her to strike back.

Her attacks simply had trouble landing!

After all, not everyone was like the freak Seiryū, who was nearly all-around and had no obvious weaknesses.

”You’re not quite up to it, bad woman!”

Seiryū appeared beside Tsunade and said dismissively, ”Why don’t you deal with the other Kumo shinobi? Leave this guy to me.”
