"Hey!" Musashi said dissatisfiedly while remaining alert: "You talk big!"
"Musashi!" Kakashi hurriedly reminded from the side: "Don't be careless!"
He looked at the black giant in front of him with extremely solemn eyes.
He even reached out and pulled down his mask, revealing the blood-red Sharingan.
Seeing his action, the giant said with a buzz. "Copy Ninja, Kakashi, huh?"
Kakashi: "You've heard of me?"
The giant said: "No, I just recognized your eye."
"That eye is quite nice, I'll take it."
As the giant spoke, there was a muffled sound under his feet, and with astonishing momentum, he rushed straight towards Kakashi.
Kakashi's eyes opened to their widest.
Just as he was preparing to respond, Musashi blocked in front of him.
"Arrogant guy! There's still me!"
As a Taijutsu ninja, both his defense and physical reaction ability were somewhat stronger than Kakashi's. Musashi naturally took the responsibility to block in front of Kakashi.
Facing the incoming enemy, his body slightly arched, lightning flickering on his body.
"Konoha Strong Whirlwind!"
BOOM!~
Musashi rushed up instantly, and then retreated at the same speed!
With a bang, he hit the wall behind him and then fell down.
"Cough cough!~" The strong impact made him cough a few times uncontrollably.
Raising his head, a solemnity never seen before appeared in his eyes.
"How is this possible!"
Musashi felt his beliefs were challenged.
Since that big battle with Itachi a few years ago, apart from Might Guy, he hadn't encountered anyone who could match him physically.
After years of arduous training, he originally thought his Taijutsu was on par with Might Guy.
Even in the entire ninja world, he wouldn't be a weakling.
However, today, a person he had never met before actually surprised him with pure strength!
Opposite.
Taking a Strong Whirlwind head-on, the black giant's face also changed slightly.
However, he was tall and had a weight advantage, only retreating a certain distance.
Looking at Musashi with some surprise.
"Not bad!"
"You are actually stronger than I imagined."
"Musashi!" Kakashi worriedly said: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Musashi said: "Senior Kakashi, this monster is very strong!"
Kakashi: "I saw it. Musashi, be very careful."
"His body is stronger than both you and Guy. Try not to match strength with him; you won't get any advantage."
Musashi asked: "Senior Kakashi, do you know who the opponent is?"
Kakashi said in a deep voice: "Not particularly clear."
"However, when I was in Anbu, I heard rumors about the other party."
Musashi: "What rumors?"
Kakashi: "The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's Black Light Guard."
Musashi: "Never heard of it."
Kakashi explained: "Daimyos of various countries organize specialized elite guards to ensure their own safety. The Guardian Shinobi of the Land of Fire, the Puppeteers of the Land of Wind, and the Black Light Guard of the Land of Lightning."
"The Black Light Guard is a death squad completely obedient to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning. Among the armed forces of various Daimyos, it has the fewest people but the strongest strength."
"Rumor has it their bodies are tough as giant beasts, unmatched by human strength."
"Musashi, you were in Anbu, didn't you hear this news?"
Musashi: "..."
"Senior Kakashi, you know me, when I was in Anbu..."
"Alright." Kakashi interrupted helplessly: "Pretend I didn't ask."
"Anyway, for people of the Black Light Guard, the physical body is the strongest method, and basically the only method."
"Musashi, you step back first, let me handle it."
Musashi gritted his teeth: "Senior Kakashi, let me do it."
"Compared to you, my skin is thicker. I'll block for a while first; you analyze the opponent's weakness."
Before Kakashi could speak, arrogant shouting came from afar.
"Stop bragging shamelessly!" Gato, hiding behind a pillar, had eyes full of pleasure.
"My Lord's strength is simply beyond what you two can imagine!"
"Do you think I could become a world-class tycoon without any background?"
"You are wrong!"
"Without the Monarch's support, how could I control so much wealth!"
"But I didn't expect you to be really this stupid! Following here foolishly."
"Opposing the Monarch will not end well!"
Musashi was fully alert.
The 'Monarch' the other party mentioned, if he guessed correctly, was probably the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
He originally thought it strange how a Gato could guard a huge amount of wealth.
So there was a backer behind him; this made sense.
In the ninja world, Daimyos were not just mascots.
Daimyos, feudal lords, Bounty Stations, tycoons...
The complex relationships within were probably hard to sort out.
However, seeing Gato so arrogant, he retorted.
"Hmph! What bullshit Monarch, would I be afraid?"
Gato laughed wickedly: "Stop being stubborn."
"A mere ninja daring to oppose the Monarch, death is your only outcome."
Musashi sneered: "Joke!"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Do you know who is behind me?"
Gato looked confused.
Could the other party have a background he didn't know?
Musashi continued.
"I am a Konoha ninja."
"The direct subordinate of the strongest Hokage—Lord Third, Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
"Whatever Monarch, with Lord Third Hokage here, I won't be afraid!"
"Hehe." The black giant seemed amused by him.
"No need to struggle and waste time."
Creak~
The hard stone blocks under his feet made an overwhelmed sound. The giant rushed forward quickly and collided with Musashi!
BOOM!~
A loud noise came out, accompanied by a strong airflow that blew Gato swaying east and west.
Lightning surrounded Musashi's body; the Lightning Style activation level had been turned to the maximum.
Even so, his arms were still numb.
The terrifying power enough to bend the Executioner's Blade was blocked by the opponent without changing expression.
"Damn!"
"How did this monster cultivate?"
Soon, the giant raised his right hand and hammered down with a bang!
BOOM!!!~
The ground piled with stones shattered with a bang.
Huge cracks spread continuously, revealing the rock layer several meters underground.
"Hehe, very fast speed?" The giant raised his right fist, looking at Musashi who retreated in a hurry.
The latter looked solemn but refused to admit defeat verbally.
"Hehe, your speed isn't much."
Musashi discovered that the opponent's strength was very strong, but compared to the terrifying strength, the speed was very average.
He originally thought the opponent was a ninja of the same style as the Raikage, but after two exchanges, he found it wasn't so.
The body cultivated by the Raikage through Lightning Style activation (different names) was not only tyrannical in strength.
More outstanding was the amazing speed.
Except in front of Space-Time Ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God, in terms of speed alone, the tall Raikage was even considered by some ninjas to be the fastest in the ninja world.
However, the black giant in front of him was different.
The opponent's characteristics were very singular. Apart from the huge body and extreme strength, even his movements revealed a kind of uncoordinated clumsiness.
It seemed that all attributes all over the body were added to defense and strength.
To verify his idea, he went up again.
