A Daring Challenge
"Can you let Raikage go?"
Hearing Tsunade utter such words, everyone present looked utterly bewildered.
What?
This young man was even contemplating letting Raikage go? Was this some kind of joke? He was so young; what strength could he possibly possess? Who was more qualified to command Raikage?
"Hmph! Tsunade, I think your little boyfriend has confused you! You're spouting such foolishness!" Raikage snorted coldly, the lightning around his body crackling and flickering. It seemed he was on the verge of berserking at any moment! Everyone knew Raikage had a terrible temper.
However, at that very moment, Finn suddenly tossed something in Raikage's direction.
Hm?
Raikage instantly saw it was a document from the table and instinctively reached out to catch it. But just as the document was about to land in front of him, Raikage felt a flash of light before his eyes, and a figure suddenly materialized directly in front of him.
SPLAT!
A crisp, loud sound exploded throughout the entire meeting room! Everyone was stunned! Seeing Finn suddenly appear before Raikage, their expressions were a mixture of disbelief and shock! And what was that clear, loud sound just now? It was Finn, appearing abruptly, slapping Raikage directly across the face!
A collective gasp swept through the room! Everyone present felt a pang of unease. As the saying goes, don't hit someone when they're down! But this guy—he just walked right up and slapped the most irritable of the Five Kage! This was undoubtedly like lighting a stick of dynamite!
Sure enough, the very next moment, Raikage shot to his feet, a crackling aura of lightning surrounding his arm, and he threw a punch at Finn with unknown force!
Whoosh!
Finn's voice instantly vanished from his spot! Almost simultaneously, Finn reappeared in his original position. He sat back lazily, legs crossed, looking at Raikage with a comfortable air, and teased lightly, "You electric baton, I already warned you not to be rude to Tsunade! But you clearly don't understand the situation, provoking Tsunade again and again. This slap from your young master will make you remember!"
Seeing Finn suddenly appear next to Raikage and then return to his original seat so quickly, everyone immediately realized what had happened!
"That ninjutsu just now was...?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be the famous Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"You've already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique at such a young age. Your Konoha Village is truly full of talents. In time, you'll become another Namikaze Minato!" The people present couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Although the Kage of each village possessed great strength, none could truly compare to Konoha Village's historical legacy of amazing individuals. But now, the hornet's nest had been disturbed; how could it be easily contained?
"So what if it's the Flying Thunder God Technique?! I was caught off guard by your sudden appearance and made a misjudgment!" As he spoke, Raikage's body immediately burst into blinding lightning! All the cells in his body surged with terrifying activity! At that moment, Raikage himself underwent a massive transformation!
With a flash, it seemed a blue bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the meeting room! Raikage's entire body turned into this blue lightning, appearing directly in front of Finn!
"It's the Lightning Style's unique Instant Technique! Its speed is completely comparable to the Flying Thunder God Technique!"
"Lightning Style truly has a unique advantage in terms of speed!"
"This is where things get complicated!"
While everyone was discussing, Raikage and Finn had already begun their fight. Finn looked at the furious Raikage with a look of disdain at the corner of his mouth! He didn't seem to exert much effort, merely dodging like a bird. Finn simply wanted to see what the "strongest Raikage" was truly capable of.
Raikage was incredibly fast! Every attack he launched seemed unavoidable to everyone present; one could only brace for it. However, against Finn's supreme Observation Haki, all of Raikage's attacks became predictable! Finn could even anticipate the precise location of his moves in advance! This battle had been an unequal one from the very beginning, with everything under Finn's control.
"Boy! Your strength is immense! It seems this old man truly underestimated you. Even Namikaze Minato at the same age might not have been as strong as you!" After a few exchanges, Raikage had already gauged Finn's combat power and offered this assessment.
Tsunade, standing nearby, heard this and shook her head. "Don't compare him to Namikaze Minato."
"What? It seems his potential isn't as good as Namikaze Minato's?" Hearing this, Raikage sneered even as he fought.
"Don't be ridiculous! Even Namikaze Minato at his strongest period isn't one-tenth of Finn's power!" Tsunade corrected.
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing this, Raikage burst into laughter! Everyone else in the room also erupted in laughter!
Not even one-tenth of Finn's? Who is she mocking?
Everyone present had seen Namikaze Minato in action, and they were all amazed by his talent! Not one of them, even in a direct fight with Namikaze Minato, could claim a sure victory! And now Tsunade was directly stating that Namikaze Minato's strength wasn't even one-tenth of Finn's?! Wasn't this telling everyone that their own strength wasn't even one-tenth of Finn's? How could such collective ridicule not infuriate them?
Raikage laughed even more angrily: "Oh, so this kid is that strong?! I get it! No wonder Konoha Village sent Princess Tsunade to perform a 'beauty trick' just to get him! What is your Konoha Village truly willing to give away?! It's just that this kid's taste is truly admirable to this old man, to even fall in love with an 'old princess' like you! Hahahaha!"
Hearing this, Tsunade's face turned crimson with rage!
"Raikage! You old bastard! Stop talking!" Tsunade exasperated.
Seeing Tsunade's anger, Raikage not only didn't stop but intensified his taunts: "Hahaha! What's wrong? Did I hit a nerve? Konoha Village can do it, but you don't allow others to speak of it?"
"Idiot! You have touched this young master's bottom line! Today, you will leave your life here!"
At that moment, Finn's voice drifted into Raikage's ears. Although not deliberately loud, it was clearly heard throughout the entire meeting room!
