"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Wind Style: Gale Force!"
"Whoosh-ugh!"
A combination of fire and wind ninjutsu was unleashed. A giant fireball, accompanied by strong winds and steaming heat, quickly dispersed the Hiding in Mist Jutsu.
You want to use thick fog to conceal yourself and then assassinate me, Uzumaki Hassan? What a joke. It's a miracle I haven't assassinated you yet.
The thick fog dissipated, revealing Kurotsuchi Raiga hidden within: "Konoha's Copy Ninja honors us with his presence. I wonder..."
"You hold on for a moment, I'm going in."
After saying this to Sasuke, Naruto casually took something from his storage and threw it at Kurotsuchi Raiga.
We're fighting, don't talk so much. And I already know what you're going to say next.
"Clang"
Casually deflecting it with his Lightning Blade, Kurotsuchi Raiga focused his eyes and was stunned: "Brat, your weapon is very peculiar."
After so many years as a ninja, this was the first time he'd seen someone throw a shoe to start a fight.
It was a Mithril shoe, made of Mithril, exclusive to dwarves. The largest size was only made for those 119 cm tall.
Naruto had tried it on when he was little, but the damn shoe was truly unwearable; it hurt his foot too much.
He activated his Charge skill, planning to test Raiga's actual strength with close-quarters combat first.
Although he had seen Raiga's battles in the original story, watching anime only showed a person's abilities, not their strength.
Just like the Ten-Tails in the Four Red Yang Formation in the original story, which used a super-large Tailed Beast Ball to make itself wilt, but not a single stone on the ground was broken. Who could tell whether that Tailed Beast Ball was truly strong or weak?
"Kakashi, you're just going to let this brat..."
"Clang, clang, clang."
A pile of random items interrupted him again.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!" Raiga, interrupted twice, was furious. His twin Lightning Blades clashed, and a lightning ball was born at their point of contact, which Raiga flung at Naruto.
"Boom."
The lightning ball, dodged by Naruto who sidestepped, hit a rock, sending stone fragments flying.
After just a moment of close-quarters combat, Naruto felt that Raiga's taijutsu wasn't very good.
Dodging one of Raiga's downward slashes, he grabbed the hand holding the sword, pulled it back, and then slammed his shoulder into Raiga's chest, pushing him back.
This guy's taijutsu is as pathetic as Neji Hyuga's.
It was just these two swords that were a bit troublesome.
Thump-thump-thump, Raiga stumbled back a few steps: "Brat, your taijutsu is good."
"However... Lightning Style: Lightning Whip!" The lightning on his twin swords transformed into whips, sweeping towards the charging blond-haired figure.
Leaping to dodge the whip, a Mithril sword appeared in Naruto's hand. He chopped it onto Raiga's other sword, which was about to swing.
"Sizzle..." Sparks flew at the point where the two weapons met. The Mithril sword was stuck in the fork of the Lightning Blade.
Neither could harm the other.
Among the seven ninja swords, besides the Kubikiribōchō and the sharkskin-impersonating Samehada, the rest were quite sturdy. It was normal for the Mithril sword not to be able to cut through it.
But there was a way. There was one method that could damage a ninja sword.
That was, to defeat a ninja sword with a ninja sword!
Naruto held the sword with one hand, and a Mithril hammer appeared in his other hand. He slammed the hammer onto the Mithril sword.
Naruto used the attack method of Blunt Blade - Kabutowari.
"Crack..." The Mithril sword was driven halfway into the fork of the Lightning Blade, and cracks appeared on the Mithril sword itself.
"Brat!!!" Raiga, his beloved sword damaged, was enraged beyond measure. Lightning crackled around his entire body like armor, his physical prowess surged, and he swung his other sword upwards.
Naruto, unable to gain leverage in the air, could only block with the Mithril hammer.
"Clang"
The Mithril hammer was struck out of his hand by immense force, and then an electrically charged leg kicked Naruto in the chest.
A figure leaped out from behind Naruto, one hand holding a Kusanagi sword, chopping into the fork of the Lightning Blade, while the other hand caught the Mithril hammer in the air. Using the same move he had just copied, he slammed it onto the Kusanagi sword: "Don't underestimate the Uchiha! The Sharingan cannot be deceived by mere illusions!"
Ranmaru's ability could create illusory human bodies and even simulate chakra pathways, which greatly affected the Byakugan. But it was less effective against the Sharingan, so Sasuke recovered after a few seconds of adjustment.
Both were Lightning Release ninja, and their weapons were imbued with lightning. For a moment, the battlefield was ablaze with lightning.
Watching Sasuke, who held an electrified Mithril hammer, and hearing what Sasuke said, Naruto's mind unconsciously provided a voice-over for him.
I am Sasuke, the God of Thunder, for the glory of the Uchiha.
The Lightning Blade, having been attacked twice in the same spot, could no longer withstand such heavy blows. Its fork was completely severed.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck from the sky, forcing Sasuke to retreat.
Raiga caressed his Lightning Blade, which was now missing a fork: "You guys actually!!!"
His twin swords were thrust into the ground. Raiga channeled chakra and roared: "Lightning Style: Lightning Gate!"
The current on his twin swords guided the lightning from the clouds to strike down. A portion was channeled into Raiga's body, and the rest struck towards the two of them.
Naruto's scalp tingled. His body instinctively performed a Neymar roll, dodging a bolt of heavenly lightning.
This guy's taijutsu isn't good, but his Lightning Release is truly powerful.
Sasuke also dodged a lightning bolt. His Sharingan ignored the surrounding illusions, fixating on the flow of Raiga's chakra.
[So this is how Lightning Release can be used.]
And under the vision of the Sharingan, he could also see the external lightning power continuously pouring into Raiga's body, inexhaustible and endless.
Naruto, having dodged another lightning bolt, rolled to Sasuke's side and took the hammer he offered: "See anything?"
Sasuke drew a circle around Raiga with his finger: "There's an electric net."
Before Naruto could reply, another tingling sensation spread through his scalp, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
Too late to think, Naruto kicked Sasuke away, using the momentum to dodge another lightning bolt.
Raiga, now like a madman, continuously summoned lightning from the sky under his control. An electric net surrounded him, and his Lightning Blade had transformed into a lightning whip.

The shadow clone, who had been waiting for a long time outside Konoha's main gate, finally saw the person he was waiting for: Konoha's second wealthiest, Tenten.
Hinata, though wealthy, had accumulated her money over many years. She couldn't compare to people like Yakumo and Tenten, so Hinata could only be considered very rich, but not ranked among Konoha's top tycoons.
After briefly explaining the situation, the clone led Tenten to the small forest.
"It's so big! And there are five of them? I'll be exhausted!" Tenten, the little loli, complained, her voice exceptionally sweet.
She had just run all that way to get a piano, and before she could even catch her breath, she had to deal with such a massive item. It was going to be very tiring.
The clone pulled a treasure from his pocket: "How about this?"
"Ooh..."
Tenten, the little loli, took the Mithril kunai. She had never seen this material before.
She took out a regular kunai and clashed it against the Mithril one. The regular kunai snapped in response. Tenten smiled sweetly: "One at a time."
She loved collecting ninja tools the most.
Before long, Tenten finished her work. She sat on a tree stump, panting, and handed five scrolls to the clone: "Earning from you... this one... it's really... tiring!"
"Thanks, I'll call you again next time."
The foreman clone, wearing an iron helmet, took the scrolls. He patted a nearby clone and pointed at Tenten, asking, "Do you know who she is?"
Clearly, this was a clueless clone: "I know, Tenten..."
Thump
"It seems you don't understand." The foreman clone retracted his kunai.
"Eeeek..." Tenten's face turned pale with shock. Why would he stab him just because he recognized me?
A purple teleportation gate lit up. The clone walked towards the gate and turned to ask, "Want to go see together?"
"No," Tenten refused the invitation. She was already tired from the long journey, and then expended so much chakra. She really didn't want to move anymore. Most importantly, she saw the pools of water outside the small forest, and she was very tempted.
"Help me tell Naruto not to come this way when he gets back."
"Okay." The clone agreed.
————
Meanwhile, Naruto's main body, who had been struck by lightning twice after receiving the news of his clone's demise, had hair standing on end like a Super Saiyan.
"Sasuke, you hold them off for a bit!" Naruto yelled, then turned and retreated from the battlefield.
Although this kind of abandoning teammates would usually earn one the label of an orphan, Naruto didn't care at all, because in this life, he truly was an orphan.
Taking the five scrolls brought back by the foreman clone, Naruto began to use Shadow Clones.
Distributing the scrolls, Naruto waved his hand: "Quick."
"Mission accomplished!" The foreman clone saluted, his expression resolute, as if he had received a mission to destroy a bunker.
"This... these clones are too dramatic." Naruto scratched his head.
No time to think too much, he rushed back into the battlefield.
The enraged Raiga was a bit fierce. Raiga, receiving the power of lightning, wielded Lightning Release as if he had endless energy.
Strikes of heavenly lightning combined with his swinging twin whips made it impossible for the two to get close.
But his good days were about to end.
"Lightning Rod Formation! Rise!"
Accompanied by the roars of a group of clones, five iron pillars, thick as sea bowls and over ten meters long, were erected on the high ground around the battlefield.
Large kites were also hung from the iron pillars with steel wires.
The attracted lightning struck the iron pillars, and the current scattered, causing clones to die in droves.
Only one, the helmet-wearing leader, was special. He looked back at the battlefield, his eyes revealing a reluctance to leave the world, then resolutely embraced an iron pillar.
With the lightning threat neutralized, Naruto smiled.
Raiga, today, let me, Uzumaki Benjamin Franklin Naruto, teach you how to attract lightning with a kite!
Naruto, having been struck by heavenly lightning twice and accumulating a belly full of resentment, truly wanted to raise his Mithril hammer and shout: "Damn old heavens, try striking me one more time!"
But considering that the last person who raised a hammer and cursed the heavens was blasted into nothing, he gave up on that idea.
This was Naruto's plan.
You talk ninjutsu, I'll talk physics. You talk physics, I'll talk reason. You talk reason, I'll talk ninjutsu.
Looking at Raiga, who had no lightning left to borrow, Naruto weighed the brick in his hand and chuckled.
Come, let me properly reason with you.
————
And this was also why the foreman clone was so dramatic.
Because he learned from Fuzuki Yukie's Uzumaki No. 2 Assembly Line Quality Control Worker - Uzumaki Tetsuju!
The people from Assembly Line No. 1 were all collectively fired after they finished building the water pools.
