"Does the Sixth Hokage not value the lives of your Konoha ninjas at all?" The Fourth Raikage seemed somewhat unable to comprehend Kaoru's words.
However, in the next moment, the Fourth Raikage understood Kaoru's intentions.
"BOOM!!!"
The massive cloud of smoke generated by the Storm Release hadn't even dissipated when a giant black arm suddenly emerged from the smoke, reaching out to grab Darui!
"This is…" Before Darui could react, he felt his body tighten unexpectedly. He was instantly gripped firmly by the giant palm and suspended in mid-air.
"Alright, the game is over…" Seeing this, Kaoru couldn't help but smile.
Upon witnessing this, the other four Kage stared intently at the cloud of smoke in the arena, their hearts growing tense.
In the next moment, as the smoke cleared, a black giant appeared before everyone's eyes, with Darui held tightly in its hand.
"What ninjutsu is this…" Mei Terumī stared at the black giant in the arena, muttering aloud.
"Alright, senior Raikage's guard, are you still not going to surrender…" Wan'er stood smiling in the arena, looking at the suspended Darui, and said,
"Damn it…" Darui frowned. He was held so tightly he couldn't move at all, unable to even form hand seals.
"Still unwilling to surrender…" Seeing Darui struggling within Susanoo, refusing to yield.
"There's no other way…" In this situation, Wan'er could only tighten the fist of her Susanoo.
A wave of intense pain immediately spread through Darui's body. He could even feel the violent grinding of his bones against each other.
"Alright, our Cloud Village concedes!" Seeing Darui stubbornly gritting his teeth and refusing to surrender, the Fourth Raikage sighed and conceded on Darui's behalf.
They had indeed lost this battle. They had never imagined that Wan'er's strength could be so formidable. Her ninjutsu, one after another, was completely unexpected and incredibly powerful…
"Alright, since the Fourth Raikage has conceded, Wan'er, release him," Kaoru said, seeing that the outcome was decided.
"Understood." Wan'er nodded and then dispelled her Susanoo, causing Darui to fall to the ground with a thump.
"I declare Uchiha Wan'er the winner of this match!" Although he found it troublesome, Shikamaru Nara's face showed a hint of joy upon seeing Wan'er's victory.
"I'm sorry, Fourth Raikage-sama, I…" After his defeat, Darui could no longer bear to stay on the field. With a Body Flicker Jutsu, he appeared beside the Fourth Raikage. He had just been praised by the Fourth Raikage, told he was the Raikage's successor, and now he had been defeated so miserably.
"There's no need to apologize. That little girl's strength is evident for all to see…" The Fourth Raikage said with a stern face. Despite his words, this battle had indeed cost him dearly in terms of face.
"Yes, the young ninjas of Konoha Village are truly…" Mei Terumī bit her lip lightly, her expression not much better.
Kaoru's gaze calmly swept over the four Kage, and he said softly, "Alright, Fourth Raikage, it seems your guard wasn't qualified to make me act. The prelude is over. Now, I'd like to ask for some pointers from you senior Kage…"
"Pointers?! I alone am enough to deal with you!!!" As soon as Kaoru's words left his mouth, the Fourth Raikage roared and instantly charged towards Kaoru's position. He was extremely embarrassed right now. Darui, whom he had praised as his successor, had been defeated by a little girl. He had to do something now to salvage some of his pride.
"Interesting…" Hearing Kaoru's words, Kaoru's lips curved upwards, and with a flash of his figure, he instantly disappeared from his seat.
"Hmph!!!" Seeing Kaoru disappear, the Fourth Raikage's charging body also vanished from his original spot!
Whoosh!!!
The two appeared in the arena, one after the other.
The other three Kage remained seated, each with their own thoughts. Regardless, they weren't in a hurry to act. While they all wanted to know the extent of Kaoru's strength, being the first to make a move would make them targets. Therefore, letting the hot-tempered Fourth Raikage go first was the best choice.
"You Sixth Hokage brat, I'll show you what happens when you provoke me, Ay!!!" Before Nara Shikamaru, acting as the referee, could announce the start, the Fourth Raikage's lightning chakra surged, and he unleashed a powerful elbow strike towards Kaoru!
"Heavy Stone Drop!!!"
Kaoru's vision blurred. The Fourth Raikage's imposing figure appeared before him. The Fourth Raikage's arm was enveloped in violent lightning chakra as he delivered a powerful elbow strike towards Kaoru's head!
"He's activated his body with powerful lightning chakra to its extreme, no wonder his speed is so fast…" In a single exchange, Kaoru's Mangekyō Sharingan clearly observed the chakra condition within the Raikage.
It had to be said that the speed and power displayed by the Raikage were indeed astonishing. Combined with his powerful Body Flicker Jutsu, it was no wonder that in the original story, Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan couldn't keep up with the Raikage's ninjutsu, and he could only stand there taking hits while using Susanoo…
However, such speed for Kaoru was…
Flying Thunder God Jutsu!
In a flash, as the Raikage reached him, a Flying Thunder God Jutsu formula on the ground flashed. The Raikage suddenly found Kaoru's figure had vanished from before him. His punch missed, hitting the ground and creating a huge crater, with lightning flashing!!
"Raikage-sama, be careful! He's behind you!!!" Darui suddenly shouted from the stands.
The Raikage was scanning his surroundings for Kaoru's trace. Hearing Darui's warning, he was startled and turned around, only to see Kaoru standing leisurely behind him!
Kaoru had already placed a Flying Thunder God Jutsu formula on the ground several meters in front of him when he first entered the arena. That was why he had easily dodged the Fourth Raikage's attack.
This feeling… "It's unmistakable… When I fought the Yellow Flash back then, it felt exactly like this…"
Kaoru's ability to vanish and reappear behind him immediately reminded the Fourth Raikage of his encounter with Konoha's Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, during the Third Shinobi World War. It was indeed the same feeling!
"Fourth Raikage, you seem to have remembered something. That's right, this technique is indeed the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, a signature skill of the Fourth Hokage. However… compared to the Fourth Hokage, my Flying Thunder God Jutsu is far superior," Kaoru said calmly, a playful smile on his face.
"What a joke. As if you've even seen the Fourth Hokage's true strength. If he hadn't died prematurely, it's unlikely you would have become Hokage…" Hearing Kaoru's words, the Fourth Raikage snorted coldly, very displeased with Kaoru's self-praise.
Kaoru simply smiled lightly, not responding to the Fourth Raikage's words. In fact, he had sparred with the Fourth Hokage not long ago…
"Flying Thunder God Jutsu, huh? I never thought I'd see the Second Hokage's ninjutsu again…" The elder Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, was thinking of Tobirama Senju from even earlier.
"In terms of speed, apart from the Fourth Hokage. I will not lose to anyone!!!"
"Raging Storm Dance of the Thousand Birds!"
