"Wind Style Chakra Mode?"
The Raikage's face was a mix of uncertainty and anger, his eyes flashing with intensity. His voice, deep and rich, cut through the tension: "Humph, you can't even stabilize your chakra; it's nothing but a poor imitation."
His criticism wasn't just for show.
He studied it closely and noted that, while it resembled the Lightning Chakra Mode of the Hidden Cloud Village, it lacked crucial details.
In the perfected Lightning Chakra Mode, chakra envelops the user's body in a stable, controlled form through their muscles and acupoints. This not only activates the user's physical abilities but also significantly enhances their defense, strength, and reflexes, including nerve response.
More importantly, the perfected Lightning Chakra Mode poses no harm to the user.
However, when he looked at Uchiha Sogetsu, he saw that the Wind Style Chakra Mode—created as a mere imitation of the Lightning Style Chakra Mode—harbored numerous hidden dangers.
Firstly, the unstable chakra had torn the clothes from Sogetsu's shoulders and back, and the high-density compressed chakra was placing a severe strain on his internal organs.
"Even if you're talented enough to learn the 'Lightning Chakra Mode' from a single scroll," the Raikage said, crossing his arms confidently, "the true Lightning Chakra Mode requires precise stimulation of the body's tendons and acupoints—details not covered in that scroll."
Such an 'incomplete' ninjutsu might show significant improvements quickly but would also cause irreversible damage to the body, particularly the internal organs, tendons, and acupoints, essentially sacrificing one's future as a ninja.
"You're right about that, but my 'Infinite Tempest' is not so simple."
Uchiha Sogetsu smirked, his fingers curling into a confident gesture. "As for whether it's a 'poor imitation,' wouldn't it be clearer if Lord Raikage experienced it for himself?"
"Very well, let me see what you've truly learned about this so-called 'Wind Style Chakra Mode'!"
The Raikage's eyes burned with fierce determination. He took a powerful step forward, causing a thunderous roar as the force of his movement crashed into the ground. The immense power shattered the earth within a radius of dozens of meters.
The ground cracked and splintered like a spider's web, sending countless shards of rubble flying. Some of the Cloud Ninjas who were watching were caught off guard, pierced by the debris and screaming in pain.
The survivors who had managed to avoid the impact stared in shock at the debris embedded deep into the walls and ground. Their faces went pale as they quickly scrambled away from the area using all their strength.
Boom!!!
In an instant, the Raikage's figure shattered the sound barrier.
A blinding blue light ripped through the air, accompanied by turbulent waves.
With the force of steel, the Raikage's five powerful fingers clenched tightly. The immense gripping power caused the air to burst with a deafening explosion.
He threw a straightforward punch, devoid of any unnecessary movements—simple and direct.
Yet, with the Raikage's body capable of withstanding the tailed beast's power and pushing the limits of human endurance, his punch actually shattered the air.
Whoosh!
The explosive air collapsed in front of his fist and surged forward like heavy artillery.
"You're too slow!"
In an instant, the raging storm around Uchiha Sogetsu erupted, and he vanished from his previous location.
Just as the Raikage's expression changed, he saw Uchiha Sogetsu reflected in his eyes. Sogetsu had managed to close the gap before the Raikage could complete his punch. They were now almost at zero distance, leaving no time for the Raikage to alter his movement.
Uchiha Sogetsu lightly pressed his palm against the Raikage's solid chest.
"Infinite—Tempest!"
Boom!!!
Spiraling storms gathered in his palm, compressing with intense force before exploding.
Amidst high-frequency vibrations that pierced the eardrums, the roar of the attack was like a giant dragon. It slammed into the Raikage's chest with terrifying force, sending him spiraling backward uncontrollably at an unseen speed.
Boom, boom, boom.
The houses ahead were reduced to rubble by the massive dragon formed from the storm.
The ground was torn apart by the intense wind pressure, leaving a gash several meters wide where the Raikage had been flung backward.
"Hey, you must be joking!"
Ai's face was etched with terror. He watched his father being thrown back, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead without him even noticing. "Father, has he been overpowered?"
"Don't panic!"
A seasoned Cloud Ninja with a grave expression cut in sharply, "Lord Raikage will not be defeated. Remember, Lord Raikage once subdued the Eight-Tails on his own!"
Yes, he needs to stay calm!
Ai quickly regained his composure, took a deep breath, and said, "You're right, Father will not lose!"
He turned his attention back to the battlefield.
The Raikage, now lying amidst the debris, coughed violently, blood staining the corners of his mouth.
He wiped the blood away, feeling the intense pain in his body, but a fierce fighting spirit sparked in his eyes. The long-suppressed desire within him was ignited: "Excellent, this is the battle I have yearned for!"
Boom!
Lightning split through the ruins.
Bathed in the glow of lightning, the Raikage tore off the obstructive remnants of his clothing, revealing his powerful and broad chest. A lightning-shaped scar added to his fierce appearance.
"Come on, Uchiha clan ninjas!"
The Raikage's hair and beard stood erect like steel needles, and lightning and thunder surged around him. He declared with intensity, "I acknowledge you. Since the Eight-Tails, you are the first opponent to truly excite me. You've earned the right for me to use this technique against you."
As he spoke, he bent his knees slightly, took a half step with his left foot, and leaned his body sideways.
Then, he extended his right arm horizontally to his chest, aligned his four fingers together, curled his thumb inward, and shaped his palm into a blade. Lightning crackled across his body, emitting a blinding light.
"That's it!!!"
The watching Cloud Ninjas couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
The Sharingan in Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes whirred as he observed the Raikage's chakra flow with heightened clarity.
He watched as the chakra gathered and intensified in the Raikage's arms, coursing through the tendons like flowing rivers, converging at the four fingers where the tendons were most delicate and slender.
Boom!
Lightning surged and crackled at the fingertips with a deafening roar! If the Rasengan represents the ultimate transformation of nature, then the Hell Stab of the Third Raikage signifies the ultimate transformation in shape.
It's a straightforward technique, focusing lightning on the fingers.
Yet, this seemingly simple maneuver is unique to him alone, and not even the Fourth Raikage could replicate it in the future.
At the tip of his right arm, the lightning chakra was compressed to its utmost limit, focusing on the four fingers.
The blade of lightning extending outward was like the sharpest divine weapon in existence. Anything that dared to obstruct it would be ruthlessly torn apart and pierced!
"Father, you have to be serious!"
Ai's eyes gleamed as he watched the move: "Hell Stab. Four-Finger Nukite!"
This was the technique that made the Third Raikage renowned, helping him defeat the rampaging Eight-Tails. It involved concentrating lightning on the fingers and thrusting it with extreme speed.
The moment the Raikage took the Hell Stab stance, the dark expressions on the Cloud Ninja's faces were lifted as if by the blazing sun.
In their hearts, every Kumo Ninja believed that the Raikage would emerge victorious!
"Don't die, kid!"
The Raikage lowered his center of gravity and took a sprinting stance, his gaze locked ahead with lightning speed: "Hell Stab - Four-Finger Nukite!"
