Chapter 88: The Fourth Raikage's Pursuit

How Orochimaru should deal with the Third Raikage is a matter for him as the commander to consider; Uchiha Feiyu cannot be bothered with so much.

Since the Third Raikage has appeared to the southeast of the Leaf Ninja camp, Uchiha Feiyu will simply change locations to hunt; if I cannot beat you, can I not at least hide from you?

Once more ninja corpses have accumulated, Uchiha Feiyu also plans to head to the Blood Pool to undergo more baptisms and improve his own bloodline and aptitude.

"If I could just awaken the Mangekyo directly, then even if I faced the Third Raikage, I wouldn't be afraid."

As long as an Uchiha awakens the Mangekyo, they are guaranteed to be Shadow-level, and that is not just because of the Dojutsu brought by the Mangekyo.

It is more because under the influence of the Mangekyo, the Uchiha bloodline is also greatly developed.

This leads to the Mangekyo owner making rapid progress in every aspect, including chakra volume, neural reflexes, physical aptitude, and chakra control, reaching the Shadow-level in terms of hardware.

And Uchiha Feiyu, who is already Shadow-level, would naturally take a step further if he awakened the Mangekyo; not to say he would definitely win against the Third Raikage, but he would at least have the level to fight him for several hundred rounds and then retreat unscathed.

If the awakened Mangekyo ability is heaven-defying enough, there would be no problem even in finishing off the Third Raikage directly.

"The only problem is that these ordinary ninja have little effect on improving my bloodline. To raise my bloodline to the Mangekyo level, the number would probably have to be at least a thousand, and they cannot all be those kinds of ordinary Genin."

"So... the Ninja World War is a good thing!"

"In normal times, let alone killing a thousand ninja, if you just killed a few dozen or a hundred, you would likely be wanted by the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and might even attract Shadow-level experts."

"Only during the Ninja World War can I continuously replenish corpses, souls, and the Black Qi used as offerings. No matter who wins or loses this war, I certainly won't be the one losing out."

After changing direction, Uchiha Feiyu was equally cautious, first using the Camouflage Concealment Technique to hide his figure, then starting his hunt once again.

However, this time, Uchiha Feiyu had only just hunted a few squads of Cloud Ninja when he discovered that these Cloud Ninja had begun to contract their forces, turn around, and gather together.

"Is it because I killed too many? Have the Cloud Ninja already sensed my existence?"

Seeing the Cloud Ninja begin to contract their forces, Uchiha Feiyu frowned slightly, but he was not prepared to continue attacking.

The stealth ability is elusive when hunting ninja squads, but if the number of ninja reaches a certain level, they can easily find his position even by relying on human lives.

Moreover, since they already know of his existence, it is hard to say when the Cloud Ninja experts might truly arrive, and Uchiha Feiyu does not want to get entangled by them here.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Feiyu prepared to leave silently, but just after retreating a kilometer or two, he felt several powerful soul light-flames rushing toward him.

Uchiha Feiyu changed directions several times, but no matter how he changed, the opponents locked onto him and charged straight ahead, which immediately shocked him.

"Bad, I've been sensed!"

General chakra-type sensor ninja have the ability to sense each other, meaning that at the same time they feel the other party, the other party also has the feeling of being sensed.

However, Uchiha Feiyu possesses Soul Perception, which is different from chakra sensing, so he did not feel he had been discovered at first. Only after discovering that the other party kept locking onto his position did he confirm he had encountered a sensor ninja.

Although locked on by a sensor ninja, Uchiha Feiyu did not stop his steps but instead rushed rapidly toward the Leaf Ninja main camp; the closer he was to the Leaf Ninja main camp, the higher the probability of encountering Leaf Ninja, and at the same time, there would be fewer Cloud Ninja nearby.

Although in this level of battle, the scarce ordinary ninja are difficult to intervene, they still have a certain effect after all.

"But the guy behind is running really fast... This soul radiance doesn't look like the Third Raikage, so it must be the future Fourth Raikage, A!"

Every generation of Raikage in the Cloud Ninja Village has their name changed to A; the candidate for this generation's Raikage was granted the title of A by the Third Raikage very early on due to his outstanding performance.

And this Raikage candidate, because he lamented that he did not have the talent of the Third Raikage and could not refine the Strongest Spear and the Strongest Shield, poured all his energy into speed.

In fact, if one does not count the cheating Space-Time Ninjutsu, the true number one speed in the Ninja World should be this Fourth Raikage.

As Uchiha Feiyu ran toward the Leaf Ninja main camp, he also felt the soul-fires behind him begin to split; two soul-fires suddenly surged in speed, faster than Uchiha Feiyu is now, while the remaining soul-fires simply stopped and stopped chasing.

"The people behind have stopped, and only two are tracking me... It should be A carrying that sensor ninja; the others simply cannot keep up with my speed."

As the speed behind continued to increase, they gradually caught up to Uchiha Feiyu's tail, and Uchiha Feiyu frowned slightly and simply came to a halt.

Maintaining a high-speed mode is also very consuming of chakra and physical strength, and the Raikage lineage is a famous monster in terms of both chakra volume and physical strength; otherwise, the Third Raikage in the original work could not have fought an army for three days and three nights.

The Fourth Raikage might not be as monstrous as the Third Raikage, but purely in terms of physical strength, he is definitely far superior to Uchiha Feiyu.

Therefore, after Uchiha Feiyu discovered that it was impossible to enter the Leaf Ninja main camp before being caught, he decided not to waste any more physical strength; if he ended up not hiding in the Leaf Ninja main camp and also consumed most of his own physical strength, that would truly be dangerous.

When Uchiha Feiyu stopped, it was only a dozen breaths of time before a blue electric light instantly flashed in front of him, and a giant with a majestic build, very similar to the Third Raikage, slowly walked out from the electric light.

"Damn little rat, why aren't you running anymore?!"

The giant in front of him roared, then reached out and placed the blond-haired, white-skinned man in his hand on the ground; clearly, this Fourth Raikage had been carrying this sensor ninja while chasing Uchiha Feiyu.

"Tsk... I'm not a beauty, why are you chasing so closely?"

Uchiha Feiyu joked, but his hand had already gripped the Kusanagi Sword, slowly aiming it at the Fourth Raikage.
