Chapter 82

Once the jar of top-tier fine wine was in his belly.

The Third Raikage let out a long breath, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Although.

Their Cloud Village is also skilled at brewing wine.

Compared to the brewing techniques of the Senju of the Forest, it is still several grades inferior; this is also a major project for the other party to accumulate wealth.

As for.

That specially crafted kunai.

The Third Raikage also took it to heart and kept it as a collection.

From their correspondence, he could feel that the other party was a good brother worth deep friendship, not the two-faced kind, so he also treated him with sincerity.

Ten days later.

With the development of the war.

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki also utilized his advantage in troop numbers to complete an encirclement battle.

Regarding this.

In order to cover the Tailed Beast so it would not be taken.

And also to protect his subordinates and avoid the total annihilation of his army.

The Third Raikage decisively rejected the plan to lead elite troops in a breakout. To buy time for his comrades to escape, he fought alone against an enemy force of ten thousand ninja from the Land of Earth, battling single-handedly without taking a single step back!

Among them.

There were even the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.

And the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi.

These two Kage-level powerhouses were watching covetously from the sidelines.

Facing the Third Raikage, who held the title of the strongest Raikage, they dared not have any slack.

"Come!"

Accompanied by a roaring shout.

The Third Raikage activated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Known as the "Lightning Armor".

By concentrating Lightning Release chakra over his entire body, he covers himself in chakra and lightning, which activates his body and allows him to use the Lightning Body Flicker, while also greatly increasing his defensive capabilities. At the same time, the lightning bursting within his body can increase his nerve conduction speed.

As the Lightning Release chakra increases, his defense and speed also strengthen.

The "Scroll of Formation" evaluates it: "Wrapping lightning around the body to increase hardness and speed, an armor that activates the body."

"Hell Stab——"

"Four-Finger Nukite!"

Concentrating a large amount of lightning onto four fingers, then thrusting at the enemy at extreme speed.

The Third Raikage was like a wild horse off its leash.

He charged out fiercely.

Instantly severing the heads of over a dozen Rock Village ninja, leaving them dead on the spot.

Facing the Third Raikage, who possessed peak Kage-level strength, ordinary ninja were just throwing their lives away; unless they used an absolute numerical advantage to exhaust his power.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Use ninjutsu to suppress him!"

"We cannot let him continue to act so recklessly!"

"Earth Release: Earth Shore Return!"

"Earth Release: Earth Prison Dome!"

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"......."

Facing the aggressive Third Raikage.

The surrounding Rock Village ninja couldn't help but swallow their saliva, start forming hand seals, and bite the bullet to attack.

As long as they swarmed him.

They didn't believe this Third Raikage could kill them all.

Wave after wave of ninjutsu smashed continuously onto the Third Raikage, yet it had no effect at all, not even able to hinder his forward pace; the violent lightning rampaged across the battlefield.

Watching the battlefield stir up a storm of blood.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi said with some reluctance:

"Are we just going to watch like this? If the two of us joined forces, we could reduce many losses."

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki shook his head:

"You underestimate the Third Raikage too much. If he were in his peak state and fought us to the death, he could take at least one of us with him. Therefore, we must rely on the advantage of numbers to exhaust his stamina and chakra."

It was very clear.

Onoki was taking a steady and conservative route.

He did not want a sure-fire victory to be ruined by the Third Raikage taking out a Kage-level combatant before he died.

Of course.

This approach.

Clearly did not fit the personality and character of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi.

This is also why he would later choose to leave the Rock Village to wander the world; it was purely a clash of values with the Third Tsuchikage.
