Chapter 212: Clash of Shinobi Body Arts

Brilliant dazzling blue lightning bloomed on the Fourth Raikage A, as he used a large amount of chakra to activate his body, enhancing his strength and speed, and activating his nerves to enhance his reaction ability.

Swish!

The Fourth Raikage A directly turned into a bolt of blue lightning and charged toward Mu Yue.

"Lightning Torture Horizontal!"

After approaching Mu Yue, the Fourth Raikage A immediately raised his right hand, burst chakra, and concentrated a large amount of lightning on his palm, chopping toward Mu Yue.

The Fourth Raikage A's speed was so fast that even the Kumogakure shinobi with him couldn't react; they only felt that the Fourth Raikage A instantly appeared in front of Mu Yue and swung a hand blade.

Mu Yue, who had the Byakugan, was even more aware of how exaggerated the Fourth Raikage A's speed was; at this level of speed, even the Byakugan would find it extremely difficult to track his movements.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Fourth Raikage's full-powered burst was such that even Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan could not perceive him.

However, Mu Yue also had the Transparent World in addition to the Byakugan, so the Fourth Raikage A's movements were within his expectations.

"Breath of Lightning, Mark, Open!"

Mu Yue immediately entered the Mark state of the Breath of Lightning, absorbing a large amount of surrounding air to strengthen his physical abilities, while simultaneously performing nature transformation to convert a large amount of Lightning Release chakra; the shining blue lightning turned into a lightning armor on Mu Yue's body.

Facing a strong enemy like the Fourth Raikage A for the first time, Mu Yue was very cautious and directly prepared to use the Mark of the Breath of Lightning to counter the Fourth Raikage A's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

"Lightning Release: Finger Gun!"

A large amount of lightning burst from Mu Yue's palm and quickly wrapped around his finger; then Mu Yue poured all his strength into his finger and thrust out a powerful pointed finger.

Crackle!!!

Boom!!

The lightning-wreathed palm and the lightning-wreathed finger collided, the powerful lightning vying with each other; the scattered arcs scorched the surrounding ground black, the terrifying shockwave blasted the nearby ground apart, and the resulting airflow blew the hair of the surrounding Kumogakure shinobi into the air.

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode? How is that possible." Looking at Mu Yue also covered in lightning and starting to engage in ninja body arts with the Fourth Raikage A, Motemu was extremely shocked.

From his perspective, the scene just now was like this: A's figure suddenly vanished, Mu Yue instantly also entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and then the two clashed techniques.

"Nani, he can even use big brother's technique, bakayaro..." Killer Bee was also shocked by the ability Mu Yue suddenly displayed.

Boom!!

Another loud sound, the ground beneath their feet could no longer withstand this force and directly exploded; Mu Yue and the Fourth Raikage A each retreated over two meters.

Drip.

Red blood dripped onto the ground. The Fourth Raikage A raised his hand to look; there was a trace of blood on his right palm. The Fourth Raikage A's expression gradually turned serious.

He had actually been injured, injured in the process of clashing Lightning Release ninja body arts with a Sunagakure shinobi.

"Hell Stab? Not yet at that level." The Fourth Raikage A immediately thought of his father's strongest spear, but soon he shook his head; if it were his father's One Finger Thrust, it would not be just a little bleeding.

"Who exactly are you, to have cultivated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to this level?" The Fourth Raikage A stared at Mu Yue and asked.

"I already told you." Mu Yue replied calmly.

It had to be said, the Fourth Raikage A's strength was indeed terrifying; just now he had used the Transparent World to unleash his physical power to 100%, and the result was only a slight edge.

Mu Yue did not use the Breathing Technique and Armament Haki together; although that would allow him to gain a big advantage and injure the Fourth Raikage A, it would waste too much chakra.

If he consumed too much chakra and did not kill him, then Mu Yue would be in trouble; there was still Killer Bee, who was not weak in strength, over there.

Moreover, Mu Yue had to conserve chakra to prevent his disciples from getting into trouble; he had been using the Byakugan to watch his disciples' side, and if his disciples messed up, he would go all out and support them immediately.

His main goal was not to fight and achieve merits for Konoha, but to train his disciples.

To save unnecessary chakra consumption, Mu Yue did not even use the fastest speed of the Breath of Lightning to attack, but instead waited on the spot for the Fourth Raikage A to initiate an attack.

Under the cell activation of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the small wound on his palm quickly scabbed over and stopped bleeding; the Fourth Raikage A looked serious and prepared to launch the next attack.

Although he was at a disadvantage in two consecutive clashes, the Fourth Raikage A still believed he could win; he still had stronger Lightning Release ninja body arts that he had not yet used.

"Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!"

The Fourth Raikage A again burst into extreme speed and charged at Mu Yue; he used lightning to fully activate his body, and his light yellow hair stood up faintly under this powerful stimulation.

The Fourth Raikage A wanted to lift Mu Yue and slam him down, but just as he rushed in front of Mu Yue, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and Mu Yue instantly disappeared from his sight.

Whoosh!

Just as Mu Yue was about to attack the Fourth Raikage A, a short blade wrapped in lightning stabbed toward him. Mu Yue quickly kicked the Fourth Raikage A and sidestepped to dodge the lightning blade.

"His speed is even faster than big brother's. Idiot, jerk..." Killer Bee, who was in a throwing stance, hadn't expected Mu Yue to react so quickly, able to evade even that.

Because he had to avoid Killer Bee's sneak attack, Mu Yue's kick didn't use much force. The Fourth Raikage A quickly got up, but his expression was very unpleasant.

The Fourth Raikage A hadn't attacked first, thinking that Mu Yue wasn't faster than him, but to his surprise, Mu Yue's speed was even more exaggerated than his power.

The Fourth Raikage A frowned deeply. If Mu Yue also had dark skin and a muscular build, he would have seriously wondered whether the Third Raikage had an illegitimate child out there.

"Liger Bomb!"

The Fourth Raikage A calmed himself down. He would ask about the illegitimate child later; for now, the main priority was to defeat the enemy.

Consecutive setbacks made the Fourth Raikage A regard Mu Yue as the strongest enemy he had ever encountered. To turn the situation around, he directly used his strongest ninja body art!

Liger Bomb is a secret ninja body art of the Cloud Village. It is extremely fast and immensely powerful, and can be considered the pinnacle of Cloud's Lightning Release ninja body arts. When performed by two people as the Double Liger Bomb, it possesses a terrifying power that guarantees death on contact.

The Fourth Raikage A and Killer Bee had already killed many Sand ninja with the Double Liger Bomb, but since their opponent was Mu Yue, he didn't plan to use the Double Liger Bomb in coordination with Killer Bee.

The Double Liger Bomb requires the users to maintain equal strength, so when using it, the Fourth Raikage A would usually lower his power significantly to match Killer Bee.

But his current opponent wasn't one of those weak, ordinary ninja; instead, he was a strong warrior equally proficient in the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

A terrifying aura rose from the Fourth Raikage A as he pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit. Crackling lightning sounds rang out continuously as his strength and defense reached the pinnacle of enhancement.

When the Fourth Raikage A began to run, even Mu Yue's Byakugan could only see a mass of powerful chakra moving rapidly, unable to make out the Fourth Raikage A's figure.

Whoosh!!

Using Liger Bomb, the Fourth Raikage A was like a heavily armored tank with the speed of an airplane. The fierce wind from his sudden charge snapped even the large trees behind Mu Yue.

Facing the aggressive Fourth Raikage A, Mu Yue's expression didn't change, nor did he dodge.

He could only say that the Fourth Raikage A was unlucky to have run into him. Most people in the ninja world couldn't withstand this collision and could only evade.

Normally, the power of Lightning Release Chakra Mode was already strong, and combined with the added force from high-speed charging, it could smash ordinary ninja into pieces.

However, Mu Yue was not among most people. In the Thunder Breathing Mark Pattern state, he could greatly enhance his strength by activating his body, and the Transparent World allowed him to exert 100% of his power. Plus, with his perfectly mastered Armament Haki, as long as he had enough chakra, Mu Yue was least afraid of head-on clashes.

Mu Yue kept breathing with extreme focus. A large amount of lightning gathered on his arm, enhancing its strength. Then, all the power in his body converged into his right arm. The immense strength made the muscles and veins of his arm bulge, looking very powerful.

Next, pitch-black Armament Haki covered Mu Yue's fist, and colorless Armament Haki energy also coiled around his fist.

Since the Fourth Raikage A was giving him an opportunity, he wouldn't be polite.

"Thunder Breathing: Serious Punch!"

Mu Yue charged out suddenly, raising his lightning-wrapped black fist and smashing it toward the Fourth Raikage A.

With the tremendous power from the Thunder Breathing Mark Pattern's body activation, the enhancement of Armament Haki, and the Transparent World from mastering the breathing method, Mu Yue's strike alone generated a massive shockwave just by swinging it.

Large amounts of sand and mud were blown up, and fierce winds carried dust and sand wildly in all directions.

Apart from Killer Bee, who wore sunglasses, the other two Cloud ninja could only use their hands to shield and squint their eyes to prevent sand from getting in.

"How can there be such terrifying power!" Motoi showed an expression of extreme shock. He could sense just how terrifying Mu Yue's aura was at this moment.

"Could it be..." A dreadful thought emerged in Motoi's mind.

He quickly shook his head, telling himself repeatedly inside: "Impossible. How could our Cloud Village's candidate Raikage lose to some insignificant nobody?"

"He's the child of the Third Raikage, and even the Third Lord praised that he would soon have the strength to serve as Raikage."

But no matter how much Motoi hypnotized himself, he couldn't change reality.

Even without sensory ninjutsu, the Cloud chunin could tell from the intimidation of Mu Yue's punch that something was extraordinary. He now had to use chakra just to stand steady, otherwise he would be pushed back by the powerful storm.

"Big brother!" Killer Bee had no mood for rapping. He had great confidence in the Fourth Raikage A, but the power Mu Yue displayed at this moment was truly too exaggerated.

Boom!!!

Mu Yue's black fist wrapped in lightning clashed with the Fourth Raikage A's high-speed charge.

A huge explosion rang out, and terrifying lightning scorched the ground around them black.

In the next second, the ground within a radius of more than twenty meters around the two directly cracked, forming a huge crater.

In the next instant, with a loud bang, the Fourth Raikage A's muscular body was suddenly flung backward violently.

Killer Bee rushed forward to help the Fourth Raikage A counteract this force, but overestimated his own strength and was sent flying backward a distance as well, though he did manage to neutralize part of the force.

"He really is stronger!" Although he had suspected it, when the truth actually unfolded before his eyes, cold sweat poured down Motemu's forehead.

In his eyes, someone like the Fourth Raikage A was already an inhuman monster; under Lightning Release Chakra Mode, even he, a Sensor Jonin, could not track his speed—and yet this monster had lost, and his opponent wasn't one of the Five Kage or some renowned powerhouse of the ninja world.

"Cough, cough." The Fourth Raikage A coughed harshly, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stood up with Killer Bee's support, staring at Mu Yue with utter disbelief.

He had considered that Mu Yue might burst out with an even greater speed than before to evade the attack, but he never imagined Mu Yue could meet him head-on and directly injure him.

After all, this was Kumogakure's top-tier Ninja Body Art—the Lightning Plow Hot Knife—a powerful Ninja Body Art he had trained in since childhood.

Regarding that peak collision just now, before Mu Yue made his move, the Fourth Raikage A believed that apart from his father, every other ninja only had two options: dodge or be severely injured by the impact.

But the power Mu Yue unleashed in that instant exceeded his imagination—not only did he withstand the charge, but with one punch he knocked the Fourth Raikage A out of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Shocked as well, Motemu recognized Mu Yue's danger, quickly formed hand seals, and together with another Kumogakure Chunin, released a Lightning Release jutsu at Mu Yue.

But how could their ninjutsu possibly hit Mu Yue while he was in Thunder Breathing? Mu Yue dodged left and right, easily evading both their attacks, then raised his hands and grasped the air, instantly forming two lightning spears in his hands, which he hurled at the Kumogakure ninjas.

Swish! Swish!

The Kumogakure Chunin was directly pierced by the lightning spears, his body charred black by the electricity, and he died instantly.

Motemu's speed was no match for the lightning spears either, but the Fourth Raikage A acted, entering Lightning Release Chakra Mode again and barely managing to save Motemu.

The rescued Motemu could not hide the terror in his eyes.

"He can perform Lightning Release ninjutsu of this level without forming hand seals!" Mu Yue became even more terrifying in Motemu's mind.

Seeing that the Fourth Raikage A was injured yet still rushed to save Motemu, Mu Yue thought to himself that the status of special talents really was different—in the Fourth Raikage A's heart, as long as Killer Bee and Motemu didn't die, sacrificing everyone else would be fine.

The Fourth Raikage A let out a long breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and, shielding Motemu and Killer Bee, distanced himself from Mu Yue.

Seeing this, Mu Yue quickly deactivated his Thunder Breathing Mark Mode, used Transparent World to conceal his aura, maintained an inscrutable expression on the surface, and began to refine chakra urgently.

Although his chakra refinement speed did not match his combat power, any recovery was better than none.

His skills were powerful, but their consumption was truly intense.

"Burst out all the potential inside your bodies." While keeping tabs on the Fourth Raikage A and the others, Mu Yue also used his Byakugan to observe Obito's battle.

His own situation was not bad; although he had consumed a great deal of chakra, he had successfully injured the Fourth Raikage A, and now Mu Yue could leave whenever he wished.

But his disciples' situation was somewhat worse. The one who had chased after them was a Jonin with seven thousand one hundred chakra and expert-level Lightning Release nature transformation, along with a Chunin good hand with four thousand chakra—this put great pressure on Obito and the others.

Thinking at least to finish one side of the fight first, I wrote 4k, so it's a bit late; more is coming.
