The Two-Tails Matatabi's 'Rat Jutsu' struck Ryun completely. The power of this explosive attack was enough to instantly kill an ordinary elite jonin.
But contrary to the Third Raikage's expectations, as the thick smoke cleared, Ryun remained completely unharmed.
"Damn it."
Looking at the Susanoo skeleton surrounding Ryun, the Third Raikage gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.
This damned brat had an endless stream of tricks, each one terrifyingly powerful. Just when the Third Raikage thought he had seen all of Ryun's abilities, the next moment Ryun would suddenly use another different technique.
Genjutsu, taijutsu, ninjutsu, offense, defense, speed, this youth seemed to have no weaknesses. After fighting him for so long, the Third Raikage couldn't find a single flaw.
The Third Raikage admitted to himself that he was no match for Ryun. But the war demanded it, the situation forced his hand. Even if he was no match, he had to push forward.
"Laser Circus."
The Third Raikage formed hand seals and clasped his hands together. A large amount of lightning was released from his hands in the next moment.
A rapid series of homing lightning bolts shot directly toward Ryun.
This type of guided lightning was very difficult to dodge. However, Ryun was currently using Susanoo. Even in its skeletal state, it was more than enough to block this level of attack.
Boom.
The lightning struck the skeleton and exploded again. The attack only cracked a few Susanoo ribs, still unable to harm Ryun inside his "shell."
Taking advantage of the smoke from the explosion temporarily blocking vision, the Third Raikage immediately used Lightning Release Body Flicker. Relying on instinct, he judged Ryun's exact position and once again used his strongest killing move.
"Hell Stab. One Finger Nukite."
The Third Raikage's single finger stabbed directly onto an extremely hard object. This sensation made him feel surprised instead of alarmed. He thought that as long as his "strongest spear" could hit the target, all defenses would be useless before him.
But this time, he was clearly mistaken.
The "strongest spear" first shattered a hard arm that came forward to block. Then he clearly felt it hit something even harder.
As the powerful One Finger Nukite pushed the Susanoo out of the smoke, the Third Raikage finally saw the full form of the hard object.
It was a half-body demon god burning with black flames. The One Finger Nukite was firmly stabbed onto the black armor.
"Ah."
Seeing Ryun hiding inside the demon god, the Third Raikage roared angrily. All the power in his body burst forth in the next moment. He exerted his full strength, intending to pierce through the youth inside the "shell."
This was the first time Ryun was clashing with him head-on. The Third Raikage felt this was his only chance to win, even to kill Uchiha Ryun.
With the Third Raikage going all out, the One Finger Nukite pierced through the black armor hard as steel. It then pierced through the Susanoo's body, shattering the Susanoo ribs.
The unstoppable "strongest spear," after breaking through layer after layer of defense, finally reached Ryun. That single finger, unleashing its last bit of force, struck the youth's chest.
The black, hard, fine dragon scales completely exhausted all the momentum of the "strongest spear." A trickle of blood flowed from Ryun's chest.
"What a pity. You were just a little bit away from piercing my heart."
Looking at the wide-eyed Third Raikage, Ryun couldn't help but let out a light laugh.
In the next moment, he raised his hand and grabbed the Third Raikage's wrist. A large amount of senjutsu chakra gathered in his palm, and a spiral pattern manifested in the center of his hand.
"Sage Art. Sealing Technique Suppression."
As the spiral pattern in his palm fully formed, Ryun slapped his palm onto the Third Raikage's abdomen.
The moment his palm struck the abdomen, a certain technique rapidly spread out. The chakra in his body core was instantly completely sealed by those strange techniques.
As the chakra in his body was temporarily sealed by this sage art that combined sealing techniques, the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Armor dissipated into nothingness.
Seizing this opportunity, Ryun quickly gathered Sage Art: Chidori in his palm. He then directly dismissed the Susanoo outside his body, his gaze cold as he looked at the panicked, retreating burly man before him.
If the other's attack couldn't kill him, it was his turn to strike.
In the next moment, Ryun's figure seemed to transform into lightning. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before the Third Raikage. The Chidori in his hand accurately stabbed into the other's heart.
Without the protection of the Lightning Release Armor, even though the Third Raikage's physical body was strong as steel, it still couldn't withstand the piercing of the sage lightning.
The Chidori instantly shattered the entire large heart. Ryun's hand pierced completely through the body in an instant, bringing out a large amount of blood.
"You go first. Soon, I will have the entire Cloud Village join you."
Heterochromatic eyes, one red, one white, coldly stared at the Third Raikage so close.
At this moment, the Third Raikage finally saw those strange eyes clearly. Ryun didn't waste any more ocular power using ocular techniques on him, so the Third Raikage could see very clearly now.
The gray-white eye contained no color or light, so dim it made one feel despair. The spiral crimson eye was filled with an indescribable sense of evil. This strange pattern seemed capable of devouring others' spiritual consciousness, making one feel disgusted unconsciously.
Hearing Ryun's final declaration, the Third Raikage realized this person might bring disaster to their Cloud Village in the future. He mustered all his strength, wanting to eliminate this scourge for the Cloud Village. But having lost his heart, his strength drained away extremely rapidly.
Coupled with his chakra being sealed, in just a few breaths, the Third Raikage's originally powerful life force vanished at a visible rate.
His final counterattack was merely stretching out both hands to choke Ryun's neck. Then, with wide, unblinking eyes, he completely ceased breathing.
Ryun raised his hand to pry off the Third Raikage's arms, but found the other's grip very firm. In the next moment, he did not hesitate to use Chidori to sever the other's arms. Then he turned his gaze toward the giant beast battle not far away.
But before he could go to support them, he saw many Cloud ninja, their faces full of grief and indignation, surrounding him to attack.
Seeing that Black Dragon had the upper hand, Ryun paid it no more mind. Instead, he actively charged toward those troublesome Cloud ninja nearby.
Without the Third Raikage, a Kage-level powerhouse, to restrain him, Ryun facing ordinary Cloud ninja was completely a one-sided slaughter.
This time, his purpose in coming to the Lightning-Fire battlefield was not only for the Two-Tails, but also for revenge.
