Chapter 111: Two Shadows Hunting
After knocking Sakumo flying, the blue figure attacked Kakuzu at an extremely fast speed.
"You are......"
After recognizing the other party's identity, Kakuzu had no time to dodge and could only choose to harden his body.
However, the opponent's stabbing arm pierced through Kakuzu's body like cutting tofu.
"The Third Raikage..."
He spoke haltingly about the identity of the person in front of him, and as the Sandaime Raikage pulled out his arm, Kakuzu staggered and fell to the ground.
No way......
In just a few minutes, the two strongest fighters on his side were both eliminated.
Uchiha Qing, who witnessed all this, felt dizzy.
Especially when he heard the identity of the visitor from Kakuzu, he became even more desperate.
Why would the Raikage appear in Taki no Kuni? !
"Humph, is this the only strength of Konoha's ninjas? Ohnoki said he could catch big fish, but in the end, they were just some shrimps."
Although Konoha did not leak out much information, Ohnoki still concluded through clues that Konoha would definitely take action against Takigakure Village.
Therefore, while he was secretly mobilizing manpower, he also sent people to deliver a letter to the Hidden Cloud Village.
Invite the Sandaime Raikage to hunt together in Takigakure Village.
After receiving the letter, the Sandaime Raikage did not hesitate at all and immediately sent his men to the Land of Hot Springs to create trouble and attract Konoha's attention.
He himself led the elite Cloud Ninjas towards Takigakure Village.
On the way, the Third Raikage, who witnessed Ōnoki releasing Dust Release, abandoned his large army, activated the Lightning Release Chakra mode, and approached the battlefield at full speed.
Then he saw the team led by Hatake Sakumo.
Ignoring Uchiha Qing and others who were treating him as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the Third Raikage focused his attention on the monster holding the Thousand Stones.
Although he was well-informed, he couldn't recognize what the strange masked creature in front of him was.
"Ah, hum, ah——"
Before the Sandaime Raikage could figure out what was going on, Kakuzu, who was lying at his feet, suddenly made an unidentified sound.
He subconsciously dodged to the side, and under the surprised gaze of the Sandaime Raikage, Kakuzu, whose entire chest was pierced, actually stood up staggeringly.
This was the first time he had seen such a scene.
"Hatake Style - Rainaga!"
Just when the Sandaime Raikage's attention was all attracted by Kakuzu, Hatake Sakumo, who was originally knocked away by him, also rushed over, waving his White Fang and rushing towards the opponent.
Hearing the thunder coming from behind, the Sandaime Raikage didn't even turn his head and let White Fang chop him.
"You are so brave to use Lightning Release in front of me!"
Under Hatake Sakumo's shocked gaze, White Fang, which had cut off countless enemies, failed to even break the opponent's lightning armor.
When his attack failed, Sakumo retreated immediately.
The Sandaime Raikage ignored the other party and frowned as he looked at Kakuzu in front of him.
As Kakuzu groaned, two things similar to the two black monsters outside broke out of his body.
[Are these things originally kept in his body? ]
Now the Third Raikage finally figured out where the monster in front of him came from.
Immediately afterwards, one of the black monsters that had just come out of Kakuzu's body shook its body a few times and then turned into a pool of mud.
"Damn it, Wind Style: Suppression!"
Having lost a heart, Kakuzu's eyes flashed with ferocity as he commanded the wind-attribute heart to launch an attack.
Lei controlled the earth, so the hardening that he just performed subconsciously had no defensive effect at all.
[Can you still use ninjutsu? ]
Facing the oncoming Wind Style, the Sandaime Raikage raised his right hand high and chopped down fiercely.
Directly split the wind escape in front of him into two halves.
"Just kidding..."
Uchiha Qing stared at the other party's outrageous actions in amazement.
It was said that wind could restrain thunder, but why didn’t they even move an inch?
"This level of wind escape is not enough to break my defense!"
Although he had not yet figured out his opponent's abilities, the Sandaime Raikage still rushed towards Kakuzu.
"Composite Ninja Technique: Flame Wind and Waves!"
Kakuzu no longer cared about the Sensei Stone and put it aside. He combined his fire and wind hearts into one and launched a mixed ninjutsu.
Fire Style: Headache and Wind Style: Damage Suppression were activated together, instantly submerging the figure of the Sandaime Raikage.
"Boxers boxers!"
With a huge roar, the Sandaime Raikage rushed out of the sea of fire with his right hand raised.
"Water Escape·Water Curtain!"
Although Kakuzu had lived for decades, this was the first time he had seen this type of attack.
At this moment, he didn't care about any attribute restraint and hurriedly controlled the water-attribute heart to block the opponent's attack.
"Hell Thrust·Four Pen Hands!"
Four fingers stretched out at the same time, and with unstoppable force, pierced through the water-attributed heart.
Then, without stopping, he continued to rush towards Kakuzu.
"Wind Escape·Vacuum Wave."
Just as the Sandaime Raikage was about to rush in front of Kakuzu, Danzo finally arrived at the battlefield.
Seeing that his own Finance Minister was about to be pierced by the opponent, and not knowing how many hearts Kakuzu had already lost, Danzo immediately released ninjutsu to stop the opponent.
bang——
As the strongest wind-style ninja in Konoha Village, Danzo's ninjutsu successfully repelled the Third Raikage.
The Third Raikage, who was pushed more than ten meters away from Danzo's Wind Style, left a deep mark on the ground.
"Danzo!"
Having briefly fought Danzo when he was young, he quickly realized the identity of the visitor.
"Long time no see, Raikage."
Slowly walking forward, Danzo looked at the furious man in front of him with an expressionless face.
That guy Ohnoki really gave himself a big problem.
Fortunately, Yamanaka Ken sensed the arrival of the Raikage in time, otherwise Sakumo and Kakuzu would probably have gone to see Rokudo.
To the Third Raikage, Sakumo's attack was like scraping.
Kakuzu's large-scale wind jutsu can only repel the opponent, not injure him.
"It's been more than ten years since the last time we fought."
Shaking his wrist, the Sandaime Raikage looked at the wound on his fingertips. Danzo's vacuum wave just now successfully tore apart the lightning chakra on his hand.
Just like ten years ago.
"I don't mind tearing your lightning armor apart again."
Squinting his eyes, Danzo looked at the Sandaime Raikage in front of him.
During the confrontation that year, Danzo had already torn the opponent's lightning armor once.
