Chapter 31 Jun 1 Fa, Hatake 55 Kai
"Kakashi, the Copy Ninja of Konoha with the Sharingan. Tsunade, you don't think you can defy my will with his help, do you...?" Faced with Tsunade's provocation, the Fourth Raikage did not back down and responded head-on.
As he spoke, Raikage's eyes widened, his body crackling with lightning, and his withered yellow hair and beard stood on end, making him look like a thunder god descending to earth!
How could the mighty Raikage possibly lose in terms of imposing presence to a mere woman, even if she were one of the legendary Sannin?
"By wrapping the body with the ultimate lightning chakra, using lightning to stimulate all the cells in the body, including the nervous system, to enhance the body's defense and reaction speed. This... is the Lightning Release ninjutsu known as the 'Lightning Release Armor' from the Hidden Cloud Sect?" Kakashi's eyes widened, his left eye's three tomoe rapidly spinning as he tried to discern the Lightning Release secrets of the Raikage.
He could stimulate the activation of all the cells in his body with lightning-style chakra, but he couldn't reach the level of the Raikage, who stimulated even the reflex nerves. His own chakra, hampered by the Sharingan, wouldn't allow it!
And the reaction nerves are equivalent to reaction speed. With the addition of the lightning release stimulation to the body, the Fourth Raikage's reaction speed may be astonishingly fast.
He might have already reached the speed of the Fourth Hokage, which is a big problem!
"Holy crap, Super Saiyan Raikage...!" Just as Kakashi was focused on copying, predicting, observing, and being wary of the Raikage's attack, Ishikawa was also secretly complaining that his heart was pounding with tension.
In this state, the Raikage's speed rivals that of Naruto in his golden form; one wrong move and even Kakashi might be knocked down! Tsunade is even more formidable; she may seem impressive now, but if her hemophobia kicks in during a real fight, she'll be even faster.
Outwardly strong but inwardly weak—that perfectly describes Tsunade right now!
"Lord Raikage, be careful of that guy's Sharingan." Suddenly, Amai, who had been silent, stepped in front of Raikage to warn him.
While seemingly wary of illusions, the real intention was to block Kakashi's Sharingan vision.
Although the Lightning Release Armor is said to be a secret technique kept secret by the Hidden Cloud Village, it is only as difficult to learn as a B-rank ninjutsu. It is truly a skill that is easy to learn but difficult to master.
If it were copied by Kakashi, a technician from Konoha, that would be bad news for Kumogakure!
Moreover, in the current situation, they might not gain any advantage if they actually fought. After all, one of their opponents was one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and the other was a Konoha technician—both formidable figures!
"Use the Sharingan to copy my Lightning Release? Hmph, let's see if he survives to take it back." The Fourth Raikage, who was rough but shrewd, understood Amai's thoughts perfectly. He immediately let out a low hum, and arcs of electricity crackled and flickered around his body.
【It's here!】
On the opposite side, Kakashi and Tsunade's pupils shrank simultaneously, and they saw a bolt of lightning flash past as the Fourth Raikage appeared almost instantly to Tsunade's side.
[So fast!!] A look of surprise flashed in Tsunade's eyes, and without hesitation, she immediately raised her foot and violently blasted out.
'Heavy Stream...'
Almost the instant Tsunade raised her leg, the Fourth Raikage, relying on his superhuman reflexes, concentrated his Lightning Release chakra in his elbow and unleashed a powerful blow to Tsunade's shin.
【Oops!!】
Tsunade's expression changed upon seeing this. Although she was stronger, her speed was insufficient, making her a sitting duck. No matter how powerful the attack, it was useless if it couldn't hit the enemy. This was bad!
A single hit would result in a broken bone or even a severed leg, and bleeding would be inevitable. This is bad; the Raikage, that brute, actually resorted to violence.
"Raychi..."
Just as Tsunade thought she was about to be struck by hemophobia and fall into danger, Kakashi's voice suddenly rang out from the side.
Under Tsunade's surprised gaze, Kakashi, wielding the Lightning Blade, unleashed a thunderous attack from beside the Raikage.
Although she still can't keep up with the Raikage's attack speed, as long as the Raikage's elbow strike hits Tsunade, she will inevitably be momentarily stunned and hit by Kakashi's Lightning Blade!
It can be described as a blatant, overt strategy: to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao.
[Is this the power of the Sharingan? To find this almost non-existent weakness in an instant and act immediately. If it were that technique, even I might be seriously injured.] In a flash, the Raikage sighed and decisively gave up.
Almost at the instant he was about to touch Tsunade, his chakra exploded beneath his feet, and with a deafening roar, he burst through the roof, dodging the Lightning Blade attack!
"Rumble..."
The next instant, Tsunade's powerful long leg slammed into the ground, causing an earth-shaking tremor and the ground to split open...
Everything seemed to take a long time, but it was all over in the blink of an eye. The three of them only saw lightning flashing and crackling, and before they could react, the ground cracked and the houses were about to collapse.
"This place is going to collapse, get out of here!" Seeing the situation was dire, Ishikawa immediately shouted and picked up the dazed Shizune next to him, then broke through the window and escaped.
Terrified, Tarojiro reacted quickly, unleashing chakra from his feet and following closely behind!
"Boom... Boom..."
Almost the instant the three broke through the window and reached the open space in the backyard, the izakaya shook and collapsed with a crash. Fortunately, the previous standoff had alerted the other customers and the owner, who then left the izakaya, preventing any casualties.
"Kid, well done." With a whoosh, just as Ishikawa handed Shizune and the little pig Tonton in her arms to his two underlings, Tsunade appeared in a flash, her eyes showing appreciation.
Before Ishikawa could speak, Tsunade quickly handed him a packet of powder. "This is a hangover cure. Give it to Shizune so she can wake up and help. The three of you alone can't stop that Cloud Village Jonin."
"Understood." Ishikawa hurriedly took the hangover medicine and handed it to Taro, staring warily at the person opposite him, still feeling lingering fear.
Damn, that was a close call!
Fortunately, his teacher Kakashi was a match for Hatake Uchiha, otherwise he would have almost completely failed.
But then again, Tsunade really thinks too highly of them! She actually assigned that Cloud Village Jonin to three rookie Genin and a drunkard to deal with.
This is absolutely terrible...
"That's it!!" With a whoosh, Kakashi appeared beside Tsunade, his left pupil shrinking.
"Did you find something, Kakashi?" Tsunade asked suspiciously, and Ishikawa immediately turned to look as well.
Kakashi didn't rush to answer. Instead, he rapidly rotated the three tomoe in his left eye, activating his Sharingan's perception, and frowned slightly.
“There seems to be something absorbing his chakra inside the Raikage. It wasn’t obvious before when his whole body was covered in lightning chakra, but just now, at the moment when the Raikage gathered his chakra and unleashed an elbow strike, I saw another point of convergence absorbing chakra.”
"Teacher, are you saying there's something else inside the Raikage that's absorbing his chakra?" Ishikawa seemed to have a sudden realization, but it wasn't quite clear what he was thinking.
With Naruto episode 720 and the unfinished Boruto series, even if Ishikawa were a time traveler, it's impossible for him to know every single detail of the plot! After all, it's common knowledge that the Naruto storyline is incredibly long and tedious, and the side stories are a complete mess, practically a series of recollections within recollections...
Anyway, Ishikawa doesn't have a strong impression of the current situation.
However, since I vaguely remember it, I must have seen this side plot point before! Damn it, what was it?! I need to remember...
