Chapter 165: Three-Minute Sasuke
The fierce aura created an immense sense of oppression.
Before the fire dragon even reached the RaikageBuilding, the air in that area was already churning with heat waves, twisting to an extreme in everyone's sight.
Such Ninjutsu was truly terrifying, causing one to lose the courage to fight back.
Just then, a brawny figure shot up from the ground like a cannonball.
Lightning flashed.
His hair stood on end.
His body seemed to be covered in armor made of lightning.
Under everyone's gaze, the Raikage directly charged into the fire dragon, crashing through it without fear of the high temperature and scorching heat.
Without any flashy Ninjutsu, just simple Taijutsu, he had already torn the fire dragon apart.
The Kumogakure watching the battle immediately erupted in cheers.
Sasuke retreated, his Mangekyo Sharingan already activated.
Because he realized he couldn't even see the Raikage's movements clearly.
"So fast!"
He couldn't help but be shocked.
The Raikage was the second Ninja who forced him to activate his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Only now did he understand that what Naruto said yesterday was not exaggerated at all.
"Who are you people?"
The Raikage instantly appeared in front of the three.
His speed was so fast that it kicked up a fierce gust of wind.
And the Chakra constantly surging from his body made people feel suffocated.
According to his usual temper, he would have knocked the three of them down without a word.
But the Ninjutsu just now was not simple.
If a conflict broke out, it might cause considerable losses to the Hidden Cloud Village.
He suddenly noticed Sasuke's eyes and asked in confusion, "Sharingan?"
Only a few people knew about the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The Raikage had never seen it either, but this aura and characteristics were the same as the Sharingan.
Except for the pattern in the eyes.
Sasuke did not answer.
He flicked the long sword in his right hand, and countless bolts of lightning suddenly surged from his body.
Light splattered everywhere.
Making him look like a Lightning Mage King.
But it was completely different from the Raikage's Lightning Release Strongest Armor.
This was Chidori Current.
Chidori spread throughout his entire body.
Sasuke suddenly took a step forward, the long sword in his hand like an extremely violent beast, emitting a piercing sound.
The Raikage's face turned cold.
He admitted that the two indeed had strength.
But to actually underestimate him like this was simply courting death!
He took a step with his right foot, raised his right hand, and his elbow exploded with incredible speed.
Sasuke was horrified.
So fast!
He had originally intended to launch a preemptive attack, but now he was a beat too slow.
The sword of the thunder god in his hand was too late to retract, so he could only convert the surrounding lightning into defense.
The next moment, his chest visibly caved in by several centimeters.
His entire body immediately flew backward.
The blood from his mouth stretched into a crimson arc in the air.
Karin's expression tightened, and she was about to step forward but was stopped by Naruto.
"It's not time yet."
"But..."
"He's right."
Sasuke staggered to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said.
Seeing this, the Raikage's body suddenly vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already above Sasuke.
He himself was nearly two meters tall, and his right foot was raised high, descending from above like a giant axe flashing with lightning.
A huge crisis struck.
Sasuke's long sword flew, like a butterfly, tracing an arc to his left, striking directly at the Raikage's heart.
This was the Nine Palace Pure Yang Sword from Eight Extremes Fist.
But he completely failed to realize one problem.
Among all martial arts, speed reigns supreme!
His long sword hadn't even arrived when he was directly struck on the shoulder, and his body instantly lost consciousness for a moment.
The Raikage immediately followed with a left punch.
A blast of air erupted from Sasuke's chest.
His body was uncontrollably dragged by the immense force, sliding back a full ten meters.
His brand new clothes were already stained with blood on the chest.
"Don't call out his name; exposing his identity would be even more troublesome."
Naruto shook his head and said.
The two words "Sasuke" that Karin was about to utter were swallowed back.
Sasuke suddenly stood up, putting away the sword of the thunder god in his hand.
Because he found that the weapon was hindering him instead.
Although he was badly beaten, he felt he still had hope of victory.
He clenched his fists.
At this moment, he had completely discarded all pretense.
The Raikage sneered, looking at his unfamiliar stance, instantly appeared in front of him, and without thinking, threw a punch.
The combination of speed and strength made Sasuke's breathing somewhat rapid.
He looked at the fist coming at his face, and his fists struck out fiercely, like a giant crab, smashing hard against both sides of the Raikage's right arm.
At the same time, he bent his waist, avoiding the punch.
The Raikage raised an eyebrow, feeling a momentary numbness in his right arm.
He did have some skill.
But it wasn't enough.
He raised his leg and kicked towards Sasuke's arched abdomen.
In a flash, Sasuke lost his footing and lay directly on the ground.
The unexpected move caused the Raikage's kick to miss.
Sasuke pressed his left hand to the ground, clamped his legs around the Raikage's supporting foot, and exerted immense outward force to trip him.
The Raikage was caught off guard, and his body instinctively tilted.
But his powerful balance kept his fall slow.
In less than a second, he would be able to regain his posture.
Just then, he heard three words.
Yomotsu Hirasaka!
An unimaginable shockwave entered his body without obstruction.
Rare in his life, the Raikage was stunned for a moment.
Even though it was only two seconds.
But time was already enough.
Sasuke's right hand instantly emitted thousands of bird cries, then directly embedded itself into the Raikage's chest.
Blood flowed out.
The Raikage regained consciousness.
With a roar of anger and malice flashing in his eyes, he grabbed Sasuke, lifted him high, and slammed him down with a crash.
Lightning Release: Lariat!
With the two of them as the center, the ground cracked open.
It spread for a full ten meters before stopping.
Dust billowed.
The Raikage retreated a few steps and looked at Naruto.
Because Sasuke was already a dead man.
No one had ever survived that move of his until now.
In the original story, Sasuke only survived by relying on Susanoo.
Now he didn't have it, so he should have died.
But he was alive.
The Raikage turned his head in surprise.
Sasuke staggered to his feet.
A faint red light appeared on his body.
Merlin's Hero Creation.
Increases Ninjutsu attack power by 30%, negates 30% damage, and restores Chakra by 50%.
Sasuke certainly had doubts, but at a critical moment, he didn't pay attention to the suddenly appearing state.
He looked at the Raikage, took a deep breath, and said, "Aoda."
Aoda immediately disappeared.
And green shadows appeared under his eyes, while countless transparent snake-shaped Chakrasurrounded him.
The Raikage frowned.
This feeling was somewhat familiar.
Although the Hidden Cloud Village didn't have any Ninja who could use Sage Mode, he was well-traveled and had heard of it.
He glanced at the wound on his chest.
It wasn't too deep, and under his strong physique, it had already stopped bleeding.
But there was still pain.
The Raikage was somewhat puzzled.
Sasuke being beaten down by him didn't mean he was weak.
On the contrary, he could be called a strong person.
Under his stormy attacks, there were few people in the entire Ninja World who could last this long.
Where did such a guy come from?
However, Sasuke's actions immediately made him cast aside all distracting thoughts.
Just move forward.
Spiderweb-like cracks immediately appeared on the ground beneath Sasuke's feet.
He unleashed a punch with powerful force.
The overwhelming momentum made the Raikage's expression change.
Something's not right!
In his thoughts, he also raised his hand and threw a punch.
Fist met fist.
A whirlwind suddenly erupted at the center.
Ring after ring of visible airwaves exploded.
Both men retreated three steps simultaneously, actually evenly matched.
"Impossible!"
The voice did not come from the Raikage, but from the young man opposite Naruto.
Dark-skinned, seven swords, wearing sunglasses.
Undoubtedly, it was Killer Bee, the Eight-TailsJinchuriki.
He looked incredulous at this moment.
Many other Hidden Cloud Village Ninja nearby reacted similarly.
Naruto glanced around.
Besides Killer Bee, he also recognized two others.
Darui, the future Fifth Generation Raikage, with white hair, brown skin, and the kanji for 'lightning' and 'water' carved on his left and right shoulders respectively.
His features were quite distinctive.
And Samui.
Tall, delicate features, short blonde hair, and a bust no less impressive than Tsunade's.
Hmm, also distinctive features.
As for the others, Naruto vaguely found them familiar but didn't recognize them.
After all, there's a significant difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional.
Naruto turned back to the battlefield.
Sasuke and the Raikage were only exchanging punches and kicks, but it felt like an earth-shattering battle.
He wasn't surprised, though.
Sasuke had both Hero Creation and Sage Mode, two amplification states.
If he still got thrashed by the Raikage after activating two cheats, he might as well bury himself.
But catching up in strength didn't mean he could win.
Because the gap in experience was gradually showing.
Sasuke was fighting very frustratingly.
Although Eight Extremes Fist was more refined, and the Mangekyo Sharingan far surpassed the Raikage, he was still at a disadvantage.
"Three minutes is almost up," Naruto said, calculating the time. "The Raikage is indeed powerful."
"Three minutes is almost up," Naruto said, calculating the time. "The Raikage is indeed powerful."
"What three minutes?"
Karin, looking nervous, subconsciously asked.
"He can only last for three minutes."
Naruto was referring to the Hero Creation state.
"That short?"
Karin asked with a worried expression, "What should we do after three minutes?"
"Run, of course."
Naruto shrugged.
Because of Sasuke and the Raikage's battle.
He was forgotten instead.
No, it couldn't be said that he was forgotten; at least Killer Bee and Darui had been watching him.
After all, the earlier fire dragon was no ordinary Ninjutsu.
"Oh, baby, let me play with you!"
Killer Bee, noticing their conversation, immediately broke into a rap.
Naruto twitched his lips, really wanting to reply with a line.
Look at this noodle, it's long and wide, look at this bowl, it's big and round!
He thought about it and decided against it.
After all, he was already singing 'Iron Window Tears' in prison, which was unlucky.
But Naruto wasn't very good at other raps.
"Kurama, you can make sure the Eight-Tailsdoesn't detect you, right?"
Before the battle, Naruto asked.
"Of course I can."
Kurama raised its chin and said displeasedly, "This old man is the strongest Tailed Beast, don't you understand?"
Naruto ignored it.
Killer Bee took out seven swords; he didn't have Samehada yet.
One in his mouth, two in his hands, two under his armpits, and two on his legs.
Seven-Sword Style.
While Naruto was marveling, Killer Bee had already charged over.
His speed was so fast that only afterimages remained, and the seven swords in his hands didn't seem messy at all.
The sword lights were well-arranged, striking one after another, all falling upon Naruto.
Naruto's hair was blown backward by the fierce wind.
Karin behind him turned pale.
But the next moment, she saw a flash of fire.
To be precise, it was an afterimage left by Naruto.
Sage Art: Sun Breathing, Fourth Form: Fake Upper Rainbow!
His body, in high-speed twists, perfectly avoided all the sword lights, while the Enma in his hand was just like him.
Flames traveled through the fierce wind.
Killer Bee controlled his two swords with both hands, attempting to block, but the blades instantly twisted.
An irresistible force sent him retreating more than ten meters.
At the same time, an octopus tentacle suddenly emerged from his hand, acting as a buffer, which allowed him to barely regain his footing.
A brief few seconds made Killer Bee realize that the person in front of him was no weaker than himself.
