Chapter 147: Lightning Release: Thunderstrike Armor

"You mean a Uchiha who specializes in using poison appeared on the battlefield?!"

At the Cloud Hidden Commander Camp, a dark‑skinned man shouted his question loudly.

"Yes, Commander, that Uchiha not only excels at poison, his Shisui Body Technique is also peerless!" reported the Cloud Ninja who came down from the front line.

He witnessed with his own eyes how that Uchiha killed his comrades, and hurried back to report the situation.

Hearing this, the commander furrowed his brows.

The Lord Raikage had just left the camp when a complication arose on the battlefield.

Originally the battlefield command was personally handled by the First Raikage, but after the Raikage left, the command fell onto his shoulders.

Before departing, the Lord Raikage had told him that he only needed to launch a normal attack and wait for his return.

So the commander did not issue any orders; everything proceeded according to plan.

But now a poison‑using Uchiha has suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

This is clearly a complication that must be dealt with promptly!

"How strong is this Uchiha?" the commander asked.

He thought that if the strength wasn't great, there was no need to worry; if it was strong, they'd send someone to deal with it.

"Reporting to the commander, that Uchiha's strength is high; I personally saw him kill four Jonin," the reporting Cloud Ninja recalled the scene, his face showing fear.

The village's four Jonin were easily killed like that.

Hearing this, the commander's face darkened, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Such a guy must be eliminated!"

Being able to easily slay the village's four Jonin, his strength definitely far exceeds that of ordinary Jonin; he is likely at Elite Jonin Rank.

In other small battlefields, an Elite Jonin poses a huge threat.

Given some time, he could kill large numbers of Chunin and Special Jonin.

Logically, ninjas of this caliber would be sent to the main battlefield.

Who could have thought they'd appear on a small battlefield?

They must not be allowed to continue this wanton rampage.

Considering this, the commander ordered:

"Send two Elite Jonin from the front line to eliminate that Uchiha."

"Yes, Commander!"

As the reporting Cloud Ninja left, the commander, worried, said, "Lord Raikage, please return quickly…"

He lacks any command talent, fearing he might make a wrong decision.

What the commander doesn't know is that the Lord Raikage he mentioned is already in a dire situation.

…………

Someplace in Ninja World.

"Lord Raikage, hope you're well!" Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao stepped out from the shadows, their unfriendly gazes fixed on the First Raikage and his two guards.

"Jinyin Jiaoyin, how dare you leave the battlefield on your own!" one of the Raikage's guards shouted.

The First Raikage furrowed his brows and said coldly, "Why are you here?"

The Jinyin Jiaoyin brothers are brutal.

In combat and actions, they employ ruthless methods, sparing no means to achieve their goals.

The brothers, who possess Six Paths Artifacts, are notorious troublemakers in Cloud Hidden Village, even the Raikage doesn't take them seriously.

Especially after the two gained access to Nine‑Tailed Chakra, they act even more recklessly.

The First Raikage also finds them a headache.

Now seeing them appear suddenly before him, the First Raikage instantly got a bad premonition.

"Why are we here?" Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Of course we're here to send Lord Raikage off!"

As they spoke, the two entered an incomplete Tail Beast Transformation mode, their power soaring.

"Hmph, that depends on whether you have the strength!" Lightning Release Chakra flickered around the First Raikage.

…………

"Bang—!"

On the main front battlefield, Mizuto Menyan's body hit the ground like a broken sack, blood spilling from his mouth corner, completely losing his combat ability.

"Menyan!" Uchiha Jing looked at Mizuto Menyan on the ground with worry.

"Jing, get Menyan to a safe place; I can still hold on," Yuanfei Rizhan gasped, swinging his Diamond Ruyi Staff to block the rugged brute before him.

The brute was the future Second Generation Raikage.

Hearing this, Uchiha Jing left the fight and carried Mizuto Menyan to a safe spot.

"Be careful…" Mizuto Menyan whispered.

Uchiha Jing nodded heavily, turned and rejoined the battle.

"This guy's defense is absurd!" Yuanfei Rizhan gritted his teeth, his thumb numbed from the shock, "Even the Ruyi Staff can't move it!"

Uchiha Jing activated the Three Tomoe to resist, but even so, he could only barely anticipate the opponent's moves, unable to inflict effective damage.

"Lightning Release: Heavy Flow Burst!"

The rugged brute's fist, wrapped in raging Lightning Release Chakra, slammed out; the air itself was compressed into a booming crack.

The massive fist surged toward Uchiha Jing at high speed.

That punch would mean death or maiming!

Uchiha Jing barely dodged, but the aftershock still hurled him several meters, rolling on the ground several times before stopping.

"Jing!" Yuanfei Rizhan shouted, but before he could finish, the brute's fist lunged at him.

He placed the Ruyi Staff horizontally before him to block, but before he could fully brace, a massive force slammed into him.

Only a "hum" rang out, the staff violently quivered, and the whole body flew backward like a kite whose string had been cut.

Yuanfei Rizhan thrust the staff into the ground while airborne, finally stopping his backward flight.

But the blood spilling from his mouth corner showed that his condition was far from good.

"Konoha's prodigy? Nothing more than that," the strong man sneered, Lightning Release Chakra Mode forming a layer of armor on his body, "In front of my Thunder Armor, your attacks are like scratching an itch."

This Thunder Armor is a B-rank Ninja Body Technique he developed, officially named "Lightning Release·Thunder Strike Armor."

It wraps powerful electric currents around the body for offense and defense; while in Thunder Armor state, the practitioner enjoys extremely fast movement and formidable damage immunity.

With Thunder Armor, he can practically stride across the Battlefield.

Yuanfei Rizhan and Uchiha Jing stood back‑to‑back, already at the end of their strength.

The surrounding Konoha Ninja were too occupied with themselves; no one could come to aid them.

"Ri Zhan, are you alright?" The Diamond Ruyi Staff in Yuanfei Rizhan's hand manifested an eye, looking at Ri Zhan with concern.

It is not a mere staff, but the Sarutobi Clan's hereditary Spirit Beast—the Ape King Spirit Beast.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll cover you, buying you time to escape," the Ape King Spirit Beast said gravely.

"Ape King Spirit Beast, what are you saying?" Yuanfei Rizhan raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth corner, "I would never abandon you!"

"I see… I understand," the Ape King Spirit Beast said no more.

……

"Zzzzz—"

The strong man, clad in Thunder Armor, walked over, "The reunion is over; it's time to set off."

Yuanfei Rizhan and Uchiha Jing wore grim expressions, already prepared for a life‑or‑death clash.

Just as the strong man prepared to finish the two, three figures suddenly appeared on the Battlefield.

ps: Thanks to Kunyuhan for the massive update fireworks, and thanks to the other big supporters for the gifts and power generation.

Currently still owe eight chapters, eee—.
