"It is coming."
Following the Third Raikage's words, a ferocious large mouth immediately pounced towards them, trying to bite the two of them.
The Two-Tails Jinchuriki leaped again to kill Ryun. The Third Raikage was not arrogant enough to test the dragon's bite force. However, after dodging the pouncing bite, he chose to confront this giant summon head-on.
Currently, this evil dragon was right in the middle of the military camp. If it was not dealt with, the consequences would be unthinkable.
After dodging the pouncing bite, the Third Raikage punched the Black Dragon's lower jaw. The tremendous force sent the entire dragon head flying high up.
The two people fighting on the dragon head paused momentarily, inevitably affected somewhat.
The Two-Tails Jinchuriki thrust her sharp cat claws towards Ryun's throat. Facing such an attack, Ryun neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he also extended his own black dragon claws.
The moment he reached out to block the cat claws, he inevitably ended up facing Yuki Shinako directly. In the next instant, the Three Tomoe Sharingan in Ryun's eyes rapidly spun, directly transforming into the Mangekyo Sharingan form.
However, the moment his eyes changed, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki immediately turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze.
But Ryun's Mangekyo Sharingan was not capable of only genjutsu attacks.
Black flames erupted around his body. A skeletal arm materialized in an instant, then grabbed the Two-Tails Jinchuriki by the waist.
This move completely caught Yuki Shinako by surprise. As Ryun's dragon claw held the cat claw, and the skeletal arm exerted force simultaneously, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was immediately gripped by immense power, letting out a miserable scream.
"Hell Stab: One Finger Thrust!"
Hearing Yuki Shinako's scream, the Third Raikage immediately left the Black Dragon behind. Using a Lightning Release Body Flicker, he flashed to Ryun's flank and used the most powerful technique he could perform.
Seeing the finger thrust coming, Ryun did not want to test whether the Susanoo could block the 'Strongest Spear'. At the critical moment, he manipulated the Susanoo arm to use the Two-Tails Jinchuriki in its grasp as a shield.
Facing this situation, the Third Raikage was greatly alarmed. However, he ultimately relied on his exceptional body control to forcibly alter the attack trajectory of the 'One Finger Thrust'. He even followed through to shatter the skeletal arm Ryun was using to hold the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, successfully saving her.
But because he came to rescue Yuki Shinako, the Black Dragon took this opportunity to raise its dragon claw and deliver a heavy swipe, forcefully slapping both of them away.
"Ah..."
Yuki Shinako, who took the Black Dragon's attack head-on, couldn't help but let out a scream. The Third Raikage, protected by his Lightning Release Armor, was unconcerned by such an attack.
His 'Strongest Shield' could only be broken by piercing skills like the 'Strongest Spear'. Otherwise, attacks like ordinary Tailed Beast Balls or super strength couldn't break his defense; they would only make him consume chakra.
The two rolled far away on the ground. Ryun seized this chance to launch a sage art attack at them.
To be precise, he launched it at the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. Among the two current enemies, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was clearly easier to deal with than the Third Raikage.
"Sage Art: Dragon Flame Singing Song Technique!"
Ryun's hands quickly formed hand signs. He then spat out several extremely fast flaming dragon heads from his mouth.
The attack, swift as lightning, went straight for the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. Seeing the fire dragons were too fast to dodge, Yuki Shinako immediately revealed her Two-Tails true form. The streams of fire dragons struck its body, forcing it back continuously, but such an attack was somewhat ineffective against a Tailed Beast.
"Finally getting serious?"
Seeing the Two-Tails Matatabi, wreathed in blue demon flames, appear, Ryun felt joy instead of shock.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
"Storm Release: Black Panther!"
Some skilled Cloud ninja chose this moment to attack. The enemies Ryun faced now were not just the Third Raikage and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki; he also had to deal with certain powerful Cloud elite ninja.
"Burrow!"
Facing two powerful Lightning Release attacks, Ryun immediately commanded the Black Dragon to burrow underground.
These attacks were not easy to block. They definitely wouldn't kill the Black Dragon if they hit it, but it would inevitably be injured.
Obeying the command, the Black Dragon immediately used its specialty. Before its transformation into a flood dragon, it only knew how to use Earth Release sage arts. The great serpents of Ryuchi Cave were experts at burrowing.
The Black Dragon's enormous body swiftly burrowed into the ground. Ryun raised his Chidori-covered hand to block one of the faster Lightning Release attacks, buying a crucial bit of time for it.
He did not burrow underground with the Black Dragon, instead deliberately staying on the surface.
"We will handle this guy! You go stop the other Konoha forces!" the Third Raikage shouted anxiously.
The Konoha ninja were now attacking the camp with full force. If they couldn't hold the defense, they would be completely defeated in this battle.
"Yes!"
The surrounding Cloud ninja who received the order immediately went to the front lines to engage the Konoha ninja army. Ryun found himself simultaneously targeted by one man and one cat.
In the next instant, the Third Raikage and the Two-Tails Matatabi attacked with astonishing speed.
"Hell Stab: One Finger Thrust!"
The Third Raikage activated his ultimate technique again. Right now, he only wanted to force Ryun into a direct confrontation, as head-on battles were his specialty.
Seeing the finger thrust coming again, Ryun's body flickered as he activated Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique.
His entire person vanished and reappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Ninja Art: Mouse Ball!"
A large mouse burning with blue flames was spat out from the Two-Tails' mouth. The moment it appeared, the flaming mouse rapidly split apart.
Numerous extremely fast Mouse Balls all smashed into Ryun's body.
This attack was incredibly fast. Ryun didn't have time to use Body Flicker again. A circle of white bones wreathed in black flames suddenly emerged around him. The Mouse Balls all struck the bone structure, causing a series of violent explosions.
The moment Ryun was attacked, the Black Dragon immediately burst out from underground and bit at the large Two-Tails Matatabi.
The Earth Release burrowing technique used by the Black Dragon was silent. However, the Two-Tails Matatabi was already on guard against it, so it wasn't bitten.
The cat's reaction was extremely swift. While leaping back to avoid the Black Dragon's upward bite, it opened its mouth and bit down hard on the Black Dragon's neck.
The Black Dragon was bitten squarely. In pain, it couldn't help but roar. A pair of dragon claws took the opportunity to grab the Two-Tails' body. The two giant beasts then rolled around, wrestling together.
The scales on the Black Dragon's body were dense and hard. It was absolutely impossible for the Two-Tails Matatabi to bite it to death.
No matter how hard the Two-Tails' jaws clenched, aside from some blood seeping out, the Black Dragon's neck remained fully functional, its strength so great the Two-Tails could barely hold on.
The Two-Tails' claws scratched frantically at the Black Dragon's body, managing to tear off several dragon scales. But such injuries meant little to the Black Dragon.
In contrast, when the Black Dragon's claw scratched the Two-Tails, the Two-Tails felt as if its body was about to be torn apart by this one swipe, the pain causing it to let out a miserable scream.
