Chapter 216: Raikage Squad vs. The Immortal Duo (Part 1)
"Damn it, unforgivable!"
Raikage was so furious his teeth were nearly grinding to dust. He carefully laid down Moroi's corpse, then turned to glare angrily at Kakuzu and Hidan:
"Blood for blood! How dare you step into Cloud Village's territory and harm our shinobi! Today... none of you are getting out alive!"
"Arghhhh!"
Raikage clenched his fists and let out a roar, instantly surrounding his muscular body with intense lightning. Even his hair stood on end, charged with electricity.
"This is... the ultimate state of the Lightning Armor!" C was shocked. It had been a long time since he had seen Raikage use this form.
Darui smirked, "He's serious right from the start. These two are dead for sure!"
C cautioned, "I'm concerned about one thing, and that's the immortality Moroi mentioned..."
Darui, expressionless, drew the large sword from his back:
"Alive or immortal, we'll find out soon enough. C, you stay put and support us from here. We'll handle those two. Use that technique!"
"Understood." C nodded and quickly folded his arms, "Lightning Illusion: Flash Pillar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, C's body turned into a blinding light. The range of the light expanded, making it impossible for Kakuzu and Hidan to open their eyes.
"Damn it, what kind of jutsu is this?"
"Be careful, Hidan! It's probably a smokescreen! Their attack is coming soon!"
Kakuzu guessed right. The next moment, both he and Hidan felt a surge of intense killing intent right next to them.
They were close!
Before they could react, Raikage landed a powerful punch on Hidan's chest. Darui's sword followed through, slicing Kakuzu cleanly in half.
"Argh!" Hidan screamed in pain, feeling as if his internal organs had been shattered.
The pain didn't last long as he suddenly heard Kakuzu's voice: "Wake up! This is an illusion! Hidan!"
Upon opening his eyes again, Hidan realized he was still standing and had no injuries.
Hidan, unusually impressed, said, "Not bad, Kakuzu. You figured it out."
Kakuzu snorted, "Hmph, experience counts. I've been caught in more illusions than they've ever seen!"
"Even if you figured it out, it's too late!!" Raikage suddenly appeared behind the duo.
Kakuzu was shocked at Raikage's speed.
"Boom!"
Raikage swung his arms, delivering heavy punches to Hidan and Kakuzu's hearts.
"Ugh!"
Two large splashes of blood erupted from Kakuzu and Hidan's mouths.
C was delighted, "It's over! As expected of Raikage-sama."
Darui remained calm, keeping a close watch on the seemingly lifeless duo:
"Don't get too excited, C. Raikage-sama is testing their abilities."
C nodded, "True, defeating Killer Bee and Yugito can't be that easy."
"Ugh! The pain...," Hidan was the first to react, climbing up while clutching his chest and cursing:
"This black brute hit so hard!"
"Kakuzu, stop pretending! Get up! It's time to counterattack. I want him to feel what it's like to have his heart shattered!"
