Chapter 629: , The Source of Breaking Perfection
The situation on the field reversed so quickly that it caught everyone off guard.
No one would have thought that at the critical moment of the decisive battle between the Third Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage, someone would suddenly intervene halfway.
The scorching lava body with terrifying high temperature attacked from behind; the Third Raikage, who possessed battle instincts honed through thousands of trials, naturally felt the danger approaching from behind.
But right now, the time left for him to consider was extremely short, only a brief instant.
And in this very instant, the Third Raikage suddenly understood many things in his heart.
No wonder Onoki insisted on challenging him even though he knew he was no match for him.
It turned out he had already prepared a backup plan, using himself as bait to lure him into revealing a flaw.
It must be said that although Onoki's strategy was a huge gamble, Onoki had won the bet.
The fist struck squarely at the Third Raikage's most vulnerable weak point.
Onoki's strategy was interlocking; although insidious and ruthless, exposing himself voluntarily also voluntarily gave the Third Raikage an opportunity.
Onoki himself also bore huge risks; in this back-and-forth, it can only be said that the Third Raikage himself was still a move behind.
In this clash of tactics and combat, up to this point, both sides generally had their own advantages and disadvantages.
The only advantage Onoki gained was one thing—the initiative!
Everything in the world has its cause and effect; everything exists with a corresponding causal relationship.
Standing in different positions, one has different perspectives on problems.
And to successfully scheme against others, one must learn to look at problems from others' perspectives; this is the principle of "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."
Onoki had long calculated that facing his active challenge, it was impossible for the Third Raikage to avoid the fight.
Whether it was the Third Raikage's own personality or the situation Cloud Village was facing, the Third Raikage would definitely happily bite the "bait" thrown by Onoki.
First, in terms of personal combat power, the Third Raikage was undoubtedly superior to Onoki, and coupled with his arrogant personality and confidence in his own strength, he had no reason to avoid the fight. Onoki's active search for battle was equivalent to helping the Third Raikage exert his own advantages.
Second, the attrition of Cloud Village also did not allow the Third Raikage to avoid the fight; after all, as long as he could take down Onoki head-on, this war would eventually come to an end.
Such an opportunity to end the war with his own martial power was something the Third Raikage would never let go of.
Onoki's plan seemed to have elements of a "gamble," but in reality, many factors depended on whether Onoki himself could do it!
In other words, human effort is the deciding factor; Onoki always kept the initiative in his own hands.
The most difficult point was whether he could create an opportunity for Roshi to successfully ambush the Third Raikage.
The current result was undoubtedly telling Onoki that he had won the bet.
Under Onoki's layered designs, the Third Raikage fell into his trap.
And for the Third Raikage, this battle seemed to be an extremely unfair "one-on-two," and Onoki's actions contained many unsavory elements, but he was not the disadvantaged party.
Because even if Onoki and Roshi were added together, they might not necessarily be able to defeat the Third Raikage.
And Onoki alone might not even be able to pose a threat to him.
Looking at it from another angle, if the Third Raikage had gone all out from the start, sparing no cost to kill Onoki quickly, would Onoki still have had such an opportunity?
Saying this now was undoubtedly too late.
The Ninja World is not a ring, and it will not talk to you about the so-called principles of "fairness and justice."
Winners are kings and losers are bandits; even if you fall under a scheme, you can only blame yourself for being a move behind.
As a hero who had dominated the Ninja World for many years, the Third Raikage naturally understood this truth.
The Third Raikage knew clearly in his heart that it was meaningless to consider the gains and losses of the past now; the only plan for now was to think about how to escape from the current predicament.
At this time, the Third Raikage, using the strongest spear, Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite, was still in a stalemate with Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu.
Although the white field created by the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu was on the verge of shattering, it would still take at least one to two seconds for the One-Finger Nukite to break through it.
And by the time he shattered the Particle Style, the Lightning Armor on his body would also be completely disintegrated.
Behind the Third Raikage, the Lava Release: Great Burning River Rock Technique was already extremely close; it was estimated that in another second, this attack would also cover his body...
In other words, if the Third Raikage still insisted on pushing forward to break the Particle Style and kill Onoki, then when his Lightning Armor shattered, he would have to take a hit from the Lava Release: Great Burning River Rock Technique first.
Losing the Lightning Armor and relying solely on his physical body to resist the ultimate move of a Kage-level powerhouse—no matter how you look at it, this was a path to death.
And originally, the Third Raikage had a compromise method.
He could cancel the attack of the One-Finger Nukite, resist the damage of the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu, and rely on his own speed to dodge the Lava Release: Great Burning River Rock Technique behind him.
The biggest loss in doing so would be nothing more than losing an opportunity to kill Tsuchikage Onoki.
But previously, due to being affected by Onoki's Added-Weight Rock Technique, the Third Raikage's speed dropped sharply; according to his calculations, even if he withdrew the attack, he would not be able to dodge the Lava Release: Great Burning River Rock Technique attack behind him no matter what.
Onoki's sacrifice of his own serious injury to exchange for the opportunity to use the Added-Weight Rock Technique to affect the Third Raikage's speed became the most important foreshadowing.
Not only that, the thrust of the One-Finger Nukite was an irreversible straight line and could only thrust in one direction in front of him.
The Third Raikage naturally could not manage to turn back and annihilate Roshi's ambush.
Once the Third Raikage's "perfect" cycle was broken, his combat power would also have flaws.
Just like a thousand-mile-long levee, as long as an ant bores a hole in it, it will eventually collapse completely. ===== CHAPTER 631 =====
