"Lord Raikage!" In the mist, the voice of a Kumogakure ninja echoed.
"All of you, retreat!"
Before the Kumogakure ninja's question could reach the ground, the voice of the Third Raikage came from the mist.
"What a monster!" Looking at the Third Raikage below, Kizaru commented sarcastically.
Wrapped in Lightning Release Chakra, the Third Raikage, who had just endured a heavy kick from Kizaru, seemed unharmed.
"Is this the extent of your attack?" Standing in the large pit, the Third Raikage looked up at Kizaru in the sky and taunted, "A little brat who only knows how to hide and seek, nothing more!"
Not fooled and probably not angry, Kizaru responded with a smile, "Then come up and fight me!"
"How annoyed!"
The Third Raikage, watching Kizaru flying in the sky, clenched his fists.
Seeing the angry Third Raikage, Kizaru's smile widened.
At that moment, a shuriken wrapped in Lightning Release Chakra flew out from below and rapidly approached Kizaru.
Without dodging, directly using Elemental Body Transformation to immune himself from the attack, Kizaru extended his right index finger towards the direction where the shuriken had been launched.
A bright golden light flashed, and a laser shot from Kizaru's index finger towards the spot where the shuriken had been launched.
The laser from Kizaru was too fast. The jonin who had attempted to ambush Kizaru was directly pierced through the heart.
Following that, the laser touched the ground, resulting in an explosion much larger than the previous one, instantly erupting!
This explosion directly affected an area of nearly ten meters, engulfing all the nearby ninjas.
Seeing this scene, the expression on the Third Raikage's face became even more serious.
The enemy's abilities were indeed too tricky!
Especially when targeting ordinary ninjas, it was practically instant slaughter.
"Everyone, retreat!" Unable to constrain Kizaru, the Third Raikage had to issue the order to retreat.
Turning into golden light and descending from the sky, Kizaru, watching the Kumogakure ninjas who were somewhat injured and starting to retreat, once again extended his right index finger.
"Eh, how rude!" Speaking, Kizaru's index finger tip lit up again.
"No way!" Seeing Kizaru's movement, the Third Raikage shouted loudly and charged again.
His right hand, shaped like a sword, chopped towards Kizaru's outstretched right hand, but it directly passed through, changing the expression on the Third Raikage's face.
"Letting you escape will really trouble me, you know!"
Among the retreating Kumogakure ninjas, Kizaru's hand manifested a cross-shaped light sword.
"Ame no Habakiri!"
Holding the light sword, Kizaru activated the Peerless Grass-Cutting Mode, launching direct slashes in all directions.
Several golden slashes formed a circular shape, spreading outwards.
Continuous screams echoed, and the ninjas around Kizaru, who couldn't escape in time, were directly cut in half.
Those Kumogakure ninjas who were slightly farther away were quite lucky, with most of them relying on Body Flicker Technique to dodge the slashes.
Only extremely unlucky individuals were wounded or killed by Kizaru's slashes!
Furious! Watching each comrade fall, the heart of the Third Raikage was bleeding.
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!" Eyes bloodshot, his blue Lightning Release Chakra burst out even more. The Third Raikage, using sensory ninjutsu, tried to lock onto Kizaru's position.
His eyes turned, capturing the chakra fluctuations, the Third Raikage erupted with all his strength and rushed towards the locked location.
In the blink of an eye, the Third Raikage reached the rear of the ninja team, about ten meters away from where Kizaru's figure had appeared.
In front of the Third Raikage was an empty space, but without hesitation, he raised his hand to stab forward.
"Finally realized, eh?" Appearing out of nowhere, Kizaru turned and smiled at the right hand thrust by the Third Raikage.
Aiming at Kizaru's heart, the Third Raikage ruthlessly stabbed in but felt no tangible sensation.
"Impossible!"
His right hand was still stuck in the left chest of Kizaru. The Third Raikage, with an expression of disbelief, looked at Kizaru, who was smiling.
"What a pity!" With a sigh and a smile, Kizaru's body turned into light, teleporting instantly behind the frozen Third Raikage.
Hand caressing his chin, wearing a cheeky smile on his face, light particles quickly gathered at Kizaru's right foot. Kizaru, facing the Third Raikage's back, kicked at high speed.
Lightspeed Kick, Kizaru's signature leg technique.
This time, Kizaru kicked with full force, breaking through the Lightning Release armor that covered the Third Raikage's body, sending him flying into the air.
After kicking the Third Raikage, Kizaru didn't stop his assault. The sole of his right foot, shining with golden light, emitted a powerful laser towards the airborne Third Raikage.
A violent explosion echoed, and the Third Raikage, who had been completely hit by Kizaru's combo, flew towards the distance, his fate unknown.
"Not bad!" Expressing approval with his mouth, Kizaru put down his raised right foot.
After saying that, Kizaru inserted his hands into his pockets and walked towards the direction where the Third Raikage fell.
A flash of light, and a thunderous, 1.5-meter-long blade with lightning appeared in front of Kizaru.
"Halt!" Holding the long sword, the tall elite jōnin of the Kumogakure, Yotsuki Kintaro, stood in front of Kizaru.
With the tip of the blade pointed at his neck, Kizaru raised both hands with a mocking smile.
"So frightening!"
Without wasting words, Kintaro, holding the Thunder Blade, swiftly thrust forward, aiming at Kizaru's head.
Dodging precisely, Kizaru skillfully avoided the thrusting Thunder Blade.
"Wow! That was close!" With a tone of relief, Kizaru said with a smile.
Keeping silent, seeing Kizaru dodge the thrust, Kintaro decisively swung his sword downwards.
Feeling no resistance, the Thunder Blade swung by Kintaro directly passed through Kizaru's body.
Without revealing any joy, Kintaro was surprised in his heart and vigilantly sensed his surroundings.
"Hey hey hey! I'm right behind you!" Kizaru's cheeky voice sounded from behind Kintaro.
Turning half of his body, Kintaro swung his sword towards the back but found no one there.
"You're really easy to deceive, little guy!"
Returning to the front of his enemy, Kizaru spoke and raised his right hand.
A laser beam shot out from Kizaru's index finger, precisely piercing through the right chest of Kintaro.
"Ahhh!" Uttering a low cry of pain, Kintaro turned back to face Kizaru.
Seeing the enemy turning around, the golden light on the index finger of Kizaru flashed, directly blinding Kintaro.
With his eyes injured and unable to see anything, Kintaro, with difficulty, swung his sword towards the front.
"The game is over!"
Kizaru's voice echoed again, and a laser beam directly pierced through the heart of Kintaro.
Clinging to his wound and falling to the ground, Kintaro, with his vision barely restored, could only watch helplessly as Kizaru's figure gradually moved away.
"Lord Raikage, I can only go this far. Please forgive me!"
Feeling unwilling in his heart, Kintaro slowly closed his eyes.
Sensing the gradually extinguishing breath behind him, Kizaru kicked off with both feet and rushed towards the location of the Third Raikage.
At this moment, the Third Raikage, whose defense was once again broken by Kizaru, was struggling to catch his breath and stand up.
Behind the Third Raikage, a diagonal wound covered more than half of his back, flesh turning inside out, revealing deep-seated bones, and fresh blood was continuously flowing out.
Stimulating muscle activity using Lightning Release Chakra, the Third Raikage barely managed to stop the bleeding.
"So frightening!"
Rushing to the side of the Third Raikage, Kizaru just happened to witness this scene.
This guy is as strong as a monster!
Looking solemnly at Kizaru, the Third Raikage had to admit in his heart that he was not a match for this freak.
