The Raikage stood at the center of the chaos, his imposing figure radiating arrogance as he should given his strength.
"You both help Duy and take care of those duds," the Raikage commanded. "Fall back to Kumo if you want." He glanced back at the retreating figures of his soon-to-be subordinates, a smirk tugged on his face.
Without waiting for a response, he turned his gaze back toward the Hidden Leaf zombies. "By the way, where is Hiashi? I want something from him... did he run away scared? My wife here wanted a few Byakugan for her collection. How could I say no to her?"
Fugaku heard the Raikage's voice as kept a mental note of it and would take few if opportunity provided as he and Mikoto went to help Duy.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not waste any time as he made hand seals at blinding speed, and manifested several shadow clones. In an instant, the duplicates dispersed in a pentagonal formation, unleashing a massive coordinated assault. Fire, Earth, Water, Lightning, and Wind jutsu rushed towards the Raikage, each nature intertwining and amplifying the next to create a cataclysmic multi-layered storm of destruction.
The Raikage grunted unbothered. Reaching behind him, he drew the legendary Bashōsen... the Banana Palm Fan. With a powerful sweep, he generated the opposing chakra natures required to neutralize Hiruzen's incoming onslaught. The jutsu clashed in mid-air, canceling each other out in a blinding flash of smoke and destruction.
Seizing the momentary distraction, Benihime flickered across the battlefield intercepting Hiruzen to keep the old Hokage pinned down. Nearby, Mito threw herself into the fray to assist the monkey.
But the real threat was converging on the Raikage from above.
In a breathtaking display of synchronization, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Tsunade Senju entered Sage Mode simultaneously as the three figures lunged at the Raikage.
The Raikage bared his teeth in a savage grin. This was the danger he had been craving... a fight where he couldn't afford to hold back a single ounce of his strength. This was his second time after his fight against Hashirama and Tobirama.
"Black Lightning Hell Ultimate Series... Hell Rampage!"
What followed was a masterclass in high-speed taijutsu. The Raikage moved like a hurricane executing a relentless, blindingly fast combination: Jab. Cross. Hook. Uppercut. Roundhouse. Elbow. He drove a devastating knee upward in a tight clinch.
As the Sannin and Minato pressed their assault, the Raikage tracked a swinging kick from Jiraiya. Shifting his weight, he caught Jiraiya's leg and, using his physical strength, hurled the Toad Sage directly toward Tsunade and Minato to disrupt their coordination.
While they were pushed back to catch Jiraiya, the Raikage formed a single-handed seal.
"Black Lightning: Double Dragon!"
Massive coiled serpents of dark crackling lightning erupted from his outstretched hands, as the dragons screamed toward his targets. Minato's reflexes were instantaneous; grabbing Jiraiya and Tsunade, he used the Flying Raijin Technique to teleport them away from the blast zone.
Yet, to their horror, the black dragon construct didn't simply detonate where they had been and automatically bent and tracking for the targets, following Minato's chakra signature.
Realizing they couldn't outrun it, Jiraiya acted on instinct. "Sage Art: Gaemeno!" he bellowed, spewing a colossal deluge of thick oil into the path of the tracking lightning dragon.
Right on cue, the two great sage toads on his shoulders reacted. Fukasaku executed a massive Wind Release technique to propel and atomize the oil, while Shima unleashed a Fire Release jutsu to ignite it.
The result was an superheated inferno. The Raikage was swallowed whole by the blazing torrent, the burning oil sticking to him and creating a cage of fire. Tsunade capitalized on the opening, summoning a portion of Katsuyu, who immediately spat a highly concentrated stream of corrosive fluid from her maw.
"Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid!"
The acidic paste hissed as it struck the flames, but the Raikage on instinct poured an immense amount of chakra into his defense, bolstering his durability by condensing thicker black lightning cloak as it became an almost impenetrable armor. Though parts of acidic fire went through his defense and burnt his torso as the Raikage gritted his teeth in pain.
Jiraiya knew that physical attacks might not be enough to break the Raikage's armor. He needed something that bypassed physical durability entirely. Changing strategies, he prepared a genjutsu... a weakness he assumed a lightning-straightforward fighter like the Raikage would possess.
"Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant!"
The complex haunting melody began to echo. It was a sound-based Genjutsu of unparalleled power, passed down through generations of Mount Myōboku. Because of the intricacy of its harmonies and lyrics, only Fukasaku and Shima possessed the mastery to successfully perform it, requiring a window of preparation to align their voices perfectly.
As the final resonant sound waves washed over the Raikage. His eyes went wide, then glazed over. Within his mind, his consciousness was instantly bound, sealed inside a heavy barrier of water guarded by four towering toad samurai. He stood completely paralyzed, entirely at the mercy of the Jiraiya's Genjutsu.
"Now!" Jiraiya shouted.
Minato didn't waste anytime. Grabbing Tsunade, he teleported her into the Raikage's blind spot.
"Sage Art Creation Rebirth: Strength of a Hundred Technique!" Tsunade yelled, the diamond seal on her forehead spreading across her skin as she channeled every ounce of her immense chakra-enhanced strength into her fist.
Seeing her husband standing dazed and defenseless, Benihime broke off her bout against Hiruzen and Mito to snap him out of the genjutsu. However, Hiruzen... who was agonizingly regenerating the lower half of his body after Benihime had literally cleaved him in two... saw the opening. With a desperate surge, he extended the Adamantine Staff, and Enma struck Benihime fiercely in the abdomen, pushing her back.
At that exact moment, two catastrophic strikes landed on the Raikage.
Tsunade's fist slammed directly into the Raikage's torso with the force of a falling meteor. Simultaneously, Minato who had been gathering nature lightning, using his exquisite chakra control to shape and supplement its destructive power into a concentrated piercing strike:
"Sage Art: White Kirin!"
A sickening CRACK echoed as all the attacks struck the Raikage.
