Chapter 210: The Yet-Undeveloped A-B Combo

【Name: A】

【Chakra: 】

【Potential: S】

【Skills: Lightning Release Chakra Mode (Mastered: 5000/), Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation (4500/), Lightning Torture Horizontal Thousand Dance (Mastered)…】

Without a doubt, the Fourth Raikage A at this point was no longer a mere prodigy but a powerhouse who had grown into strength. With a highly proficient Mastered-level Lightning Release Chakra Mode and various mastered ninjutsu and taijutsu, he ranked among the strongest of the many panels Muyue had seen.

Muyue was not surprised that the Fourth Raikage A had such a panel, because the Fourth Raikage A was a few years older than Minato and had spent more years training.

Next, Muyue quickly identified the panels of the few people beside the Fourth Raikage A. As the son of the Third Raikage, he certainly wouldn't be walking on the battlefield alone.

【Name: Killer B】

【Chakra: 】

【Potential: S】

【Skills: Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Mastered: 100/), Supersonic Lightning Blade (Proficient), Lightning Plow Hot Blade (Proficient)…】

Killer B at this time still looked quite young, about thirteen or fourteen, the youngest among the group. According to the panel, he had not yet become the jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails.

However, looking at this panel, Muyue could only say that Killer B was also a prodigy not to be underestimated; even without the Eight-Tails, it wouldn't stop him from becoming a strong ninja.

【Name: Bokeli】

【Chakra: 7100】

【Skills: Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Mastered)…】

【Name: Motemu】

【Chakra: 6500】

【Skills: Chakra Sensing (Mastered), Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Proficient)…】

Apart from two unfamiliar jōnin he didn't recognize, there were also two chūnin with chakra just over four thousand.

If the leader had been the Third Raikage, Muyue would have immediately used the Summoning Technique to flee without a second thought. But encountering the Fourth Raikage A, who hadn't yet reached his prime, Muyue wasn't afraid—in fact, he was pleasantly surprised.

Since Killer B was still young and hadn't become the Eight-Tails' jinchuriki, the AB Combo at this point was purely a solo carry by the Fourth Raikage A.

Even though the Fourth Raikage A's chakra was more than double Muyue's, Muyue wasn't too intimidated. Although his chakra was lacking, he had many skills—a perfect-level Thunder Breathing, a perfect-level Busoshoku Haki, and a bunch of mastered abilities.

Muyue had seen many people with more chakra than him, but he had truly never seen anyone with higher skill proficiency than his.

Muyue quickly thought it over and finally decided to test this younger version of the Fourth Raikage, to gain more combat experience and also put some pressure on his disciples.

"Quick, use the Transformation Technique to become Sunagakure ninja and follow me." Muyue deactivated his Byakugan, took off his glasses, then used the Transformation Technique to turn into Aizen wearing a Sunagakure uniform, and put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

He was confident he could escape, but not confident he could wipe out the elite squad led by the Fourth Raikage; hiding his identity was necessary.

Although they didn't know what was going on, trusting Muyue, the three disciples did as told. They casually changed their faces, but their headbands and uniforms were all Sunagakure style.

Then Muyue led his disciples and began running eastward. The desert was too open—not good for escape.

"It seems they've spotted us; those chakra signatures are moving fast," Motemu said after sensing Muyue and the others' movements.

"Run? Not a chance. This is perfect for giving Bee some practice," the Fourth Raikage A said calmly, then turned to look at Killer B.

"Bee, you need to train harder. Your Lightning Plow Hot Blade is way behind mine."

"OK, I'll grow as fast as I can so I can team up with Big Brother and make those enemy village ninjas bow in admiration, until they all surrender to Cloud!" Killer B shouted passionately.

"Hahaha." The Fourth Raikage A laughed heartily with satisfaction.

"That's strange. Their speed suddenly shot up," Motemu noticed that Muyue and his group had abruptly accelerated.

"I'll go intercept them first," the Fourth Raikage A said indifferently. No matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than him.

Zzzz!!

A huge surge of lightning erupted from the Fourth Raikage A's sturdy body, instantly enveloping him entirely like a suit of lightning armor.

After activating the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the Fourth Raikage A's body was stimulated and greatly enhanced. He took a bounding step and vanished from Killer B and the others' sight in an instant.

On the other side, Muyue simply picked up his disciples and ran, dashing straight to the nearest forest without stopping.

"Let's go. We'll enter the forest first." Mu Yue put down his disciple and said.

"None of you are going anywhere!"

Just then, a blue flash sped toward them like lightning running parallel to the ground.

"What is that?" Obito could not see Fourth Raikage A's figure at all; he only felt a bolt of lightning rushing straight at his face.

Kakashi quickly pulled out several shuriken and threw them at the lightning, but they missed completely — the lightning was too fast.

The lightning flash finally passed them all and stopped in front of the forest.

Fourth Raikage A deactivated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, gave the group a once-over, and felt somewhat disappointed — he had memorized the faces of those elite Sunagakure ninja, and none of them were here.

"Such speed!" Kakashi was astonished that Fourth Raikage A had appeared right in front of him in an instant.

He was certain that the burly young man with dark skin and light yellow hair before him was not to be trifled with. That speed just now — Kakashi had only ever felt it from Mu Yue. For a moment he could not tell who was faster between Mu Yue and this enemy, because both of their speeds surpassed his understanding; there was simply no basis for comparison.

"Tell me your mission, and I'll let you die in one piece." Fourth Raikage A said calmly.

"Who would tell you that? Come at us if you've got the guts." Obito was irritated by Fourth Raikage A's words; he didn't believe he could be in any real danger with Teacher Mu Yue here.

Mu Yue extended his hand, signaling his disciples to stand behind him. Fourth Raikage A was different from the enemies they had faced before — he possessed immense strength and speed.

"You seem quite confident, but sometimes overconfidence isn't a good thing." Mu Yue said with a smile.

"Because I have the capital to be confident." Fourth Raikage A glanced into the distance; Killer Bee and the others would be arriving soon.

"If it weren't for letting Bee practice, I could finish you off anytime."

"Are you sure?" Mu Yue adjusted his glasses, drew a large amount of air into his body to enhance his abilities, burst out chakra, and his aura suddenly changed.

Swoosh!

Mu Yue flashed and appeared behind Fourth Raikage A, coating his right fist in pitch-black Armament Haki before throwing a fierce punch.

Although Fourth Raikage A had underestimated Mu Yue's strength, his reflexes were extremely fast. He instantly activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, wrapping himself in dazzling blue lightning, and threw a punch crackling with immense electricity.

One black and one blue fist collided violently.

At that moment, Killer Bee and the other Cloud Shinobi arrived.

I couldn't find out what the Fourth Raikage was called before he became Raikage, so I'll call him Fourth Raikage A for now.
