Chapter 107: Heavenly Transfer Technique
...
Several minutes ago, at Cloud Thunder Gorge.
Thunder roared, and lightning flashed wildly.
From within the densely packed lightning, the low roar of the Fourth Raikage, A, could be heard.
Not far away, Mabui, dressed in a tight grey pencil skirt, looked calm.
She wasn't the least bit worried that the Raikage would be injured by the lightning.
She had seen this scene countless times.
The Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode had long been tempered to its peak by the power of lightning.
Mere lightning could not harm him.
Screech! An eagle's cry came from the sky.
Mabui's expression changed instantly.
"The emergency contact ninja eagle? Is there trouble in the village?"
She raised her right arm, and the ninja eagle quickly descended.
Taking the intel tied to the eagle's leg and opening it, her pupils contracted immediately.
"The Akatsuki Organization has actually invaded the village!!"
"Raikage-sama!" Mabui shouted a warning. "There's trouble in the village! The Akatsuki's White Tiger has invaded and is fighting Killer B at the rear mountain!"
A blurred human figure could be seen within the lightning.
The moment he heard the voice, the Fourth Raikage flew into a rage. "Damn Akatsuki Organization! I haven't even gone looking for them yet, and they dare to barge right up to my door!"
Whoosh!
The Fourth Raikage appeared in front of Mabui in an instant.
He took the intel from her hand and examined it carefully.
"Akatsuki Organization, White Tiger... What gall!"
Crackle!
A bolt of lightning struck the paper, instantly shattering it into dust.
The Fourth Raikage's anger erupted, his killing intent overflowing.
Mabui said worriedly, "Raikage-sama, you must return to the village immediately."
Saying this, she prepared to use the Body Flicker Technique to return.
"Mabui!" The Fourth Raikage interrupted her. "Use the Heavenly Transfer Technique!!"
"Heavenly Transfer Technique?" Mabui stopped, her eyes widening. "That jutsu is only for transporting objects. If I transport a person..."
The Heavenly Transfer Technique was not a space-time ninjutsu.
Instead, it transported the target to a designated location through high-speed movement.
The speed far exceeded human limits, comparable to the speed of light, arriving instantly.
En route, the friction with the air would be intense, creating terrifying G-force.
An ordinary human body couldn't withstand it at all; the body would be torn apart and shattered to pieces.
"But it has transported a person before, hasn't it?" The Fourth Raikage showed no fear. "If the Old Man could do it, then I can too."
The only person who had successfully used the Heavenly Transfer Technique for transport was the Third Raikage.
He believed his physical durability was in no way inferior to his father's, so he could also succeed.
"Mabui! Use the Heavenly Transfer Technique, quickly!"
The Fourth Raikage urged.
He was extremely worried about the village's situation.
That was the Akatsuki Organization, which had destroyed Konoha not long ago.
He had to rush back immediately, or Kumogakure would follow in Konoha's footsteps.
He absolutely could not accept such a huge loss.
"Alright."
Mabui's expression shifted, but she finally gritted her teeth and agreed.
The Raikage indeed needed to return as fast as possible to minimize the damage.
She trusted that the Lightning Release Chakra Mode could withstand the terrifying tearing danger of the transport.
As she formed hand seals, streaks of flowing light began to appear on the Raikage's body surface.
"Raikage-sama, please get ready!"
As the Fourth Raikage nodded, Mabui formed the final seal and shouted in a low voice:
"Heavenly Transfer Technique!"
Shoom!
The Raikage vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.
Mabui didn't delay. She activated the Body Flicker Technique and ran toward the village at top speed.
Kumogakure.
Anbu Base, the Research Center deep underground.
The intel revealed that the enemy had already breached the Anbu's defenses, and the target was the secret research center.
This place contained Kumogakure's most important assets; nothing could be allowed to happen to it.
The transport landing point was set inside the research center.
Swish!
The transport ended, and the Fourth Raikage appeared from the void.
His whole body was shrouded in electric light, completely unharmed.
Seeing the human figure appear out of thin air, Konan's Paper Clone was stunned.
Before she could react, she heard a furious shout: "Elbow!!"
At such a short distance, the Fourth Raikage charged like a wild bull.
His right elbow, covered in electric light, slammed ruthlessly into her.
Boom!
The Paper Clone had no time to defend and was instantly blown apart.
Shattered pieces of paper scattered in all directions.
"Just a clone?"
The Fourth Raikage glanced at the tattered paper scattered on the floor, then leaped out of the research center, heading for the surface.
In mid-air.
Konan narrowed her eyes.
After the Paper Clone dissipated, the memories returned.
"Alex, the Fourth Raikage is back. He seemed to appear out of thin air in the research center."
Appear out of thin air?
Alex thought for a moment and instantly understood what had happened.
[He must have used the Heavenly Transfer Technique to transport back.]
The Fourth Raikage's defense, speed, and attack power had all been honed to their peak.
This battle...
Before Alex could finish thinking, a bolt of lightning suddenly leaped out from the Anbu Base exit.
Heading straight for the frozen Eight-Tails.
Clearly, he intended to free his brother, Killer B.
Konan immediately intervened.
Raising her hand, she waved, and a massive amount of kunai radiating cold air shot down at his head.
The Fourth Raikage looked up at Konan in the sky.
Facing the incoming kunai, he dodged rapidly like an electric mouse.
The attacks were far too slow to keep up with his reaction speed.
For saturated attacks he couldn't dodge, he simply tanked them with his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Zero damage.
"So fast!"
Konan was secretly alarmed.
He was actually faster than Killer B.
With the visual prowess of the three-tomoe Sharingan, she could only see a streak of electric light moving rapidly on the ground.
She couldn't even see the Fourth Raikage clearly.
In Konan's line of sight.
A bolt of lightning sped up the frozen Eight-Tails.
Reaching the top of the Eight-Tails' head.
Then, lightning exploded, and a furious shout rang out:
"Guillotine Drop!"
The Fourth Raikage stomped his right foot ruthlessly onto the ice layer.
The terrifying immense force caused the entire block of ice to shudder.
Crack!
The ice beneath his feet shattered.
A huge crack extended rapidly from the top of the Eight-Tails' head down to the ground.
Konan naturally wouldn't just watch.
Various Ice Release attacks had already reached the Fourth Raikage.
Front, back, left, right, and above—all surrounded, nowhere to dodge.
Hah!
The Fourth Raikage shouted explosively, his blond hair standing up like a hedgehog's quills.
The blue-white electric light on his body surface became even denser.
He had fully activated his Lightning Release, engaging his strongest Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
He paid no heed to anything else.
Roaring, his feet stomped heavily on the ice layer beneath him, shattering the hard ice.
His fists smashed upward against the massive Ice Release constructs raining down on him.
As for the attacks from the left, right, front, and back, he ignored them completely.
Such attacks couldn't break through his strongest Lightning Armor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous explosions resonated in mid-air.
The Fourth Raikage behaved like a beast.
Full of energy, with heavy and powerful momentum.
Relying solely on his fists, he smashed the various ice shield attacks above his head into crushed ice.
Ice chips flew everywhere; it was as if ice rain were falling from the sky.
He was truly worthy of being the man who could engage in close-quarters combat with the Eight-Tails using only his body.
Indeed, exaggeratedly tough.
Under the Fourth Raikage's continuous bombardment, the cracks in the ice layer on the Eight-Tails' surface grew larger.
Spreading over its entire body; escape was only a matter of time.
Inside, the Eight-Tails' bull eyes flashed. It was also exerting force, coordinating with the Raikage.
"Alex, what should we do?"
Konan maintained a high-intensity attack posture.
But unfortunately, she could only cause minor trouble for the Fourth Raikage, unable to injure him.
She couldn't break the absolute defense of his strongest Lightning Armor.
Truly a beast.
Alex looked down at the incomparably mighty Fourth Raikage, clicking his tongue in wonder.
The various attacks he and Konan currently mastered couldn't break through this beast's defense.
Once Killer B broke free.
When the two brothers combined, unleashing power where 1+1 was greater than 2, Konan definitely wouldn't have a good time.
Defense comparable to Susanoo, with speed and strength far exceeding it. No wonder the Fourth Raikage could beat Sasuke like a grandson.
The AB Brothers couldn't fly, so they couldn't threaten Konan.
But Konan also couldn't hurt the brothers. Continuing the stalemate didn't make much sense.
Alex flew in front of Konan: [Konan, let's retreat.]
"What about the biological samples of the Gold and Silver Brothers?"
[Don't worry, I've already got them.]
