Chapter 142: Storm Mode—Infinite Instantaneous Roar!
BANG BANG BANG!
In just a few dozen seconds, the two had exchanged hundreds of blows.
The Lightning Release Armor was shattered by Wind Release attacks, but the Raikage's hardened body only showed white marks.
On the other hand, Uchiha Kazuki, despite possessing the Sharingan, could only barely avoid strikes to vital points.
"HAHAHAHA... That's so satisfying! This is how it should be!"
The Raikage laughed wildly, completely disregarding his shattered Lightning Release Armor. His fist, like a giant cannonball, slammed directly toward Uchiha Kazuki.
The wind pressure from the punch distorted the air, the terrifying force even warping facial muscles, demonstrating the immense power behind the strike.
But Uchiha Kazuki suddenly bent backward, like a nimble serpent coiling around the Raikage. His legs clamped around the Raikage's neck while his hands grabbed the incoming fist, redirecting it. Twisting his waist forcefully, his spine driving the power of his entire body, he forcefully executed a python throw, slamming the Raikage's head into the ground.
BOOM!
The Raikage's head made intimate contact with the floor.
Uchiha Kazuki seized the opportunity, mounting his back, twisting his arms behind him, and clamping his legs around his neck in a rear-naked choke position.
"AAAAAHHH!!!"
But the next second, the Raikage, with terrifying strength, forcibly lifted the person pinning him down and slammed him against the wall with one arm.
BANG!
Suffering a severe back injury, Uchiha Kazuki was thrown away.
"Hey, get up!"
The Raikage grinned and shouted enthusiastically.
The battle had successfully piqued his interest.
Since his battle with the Eight-Tails, it had been far too long since anyone had given him this thrill of combat.
That visceral, soul-shaking impact—the heavy collisions and clashes—made his blood boil, his entire body burning with excitement.
That's why the Raikage didn't press his advantage. He wanted to savor this a little longer.
Looking at the Raikage now, with that violent and intense fighting spirit radiating from him, even the Cloud shinobi retreated, their faces full of concern.
Because every time the Raikage showed this expression, it meant the Hidden Cloud Village was about to undergo large-scale reconstruction!
"That guy is actually that strong?!"
Watching the two combatants fight from the fifth floor down to the first, and then from the first floor out into the streets—
leaving a trail of destruction like a storm sweeping through everything in their path—the new generation AB Combo swallowed hard, their throats dry. "Lord Raikage is currently using his full Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"
"No, that guy's about to lose!"
A, staring intently at the center of the battle where two figures constantly flashed, said in a deep voice, "Look closely, B—Lord Raikage has already gained the upper hand!"
B looked where indicated and found it to be true.
As the battle intensified, the Raikage's speed became increasingly terrifying. Even the Mangekyo Sharingan could hardly track his movements.
But what was even more frightening was that while Uchiha Kazuki's Wind Release could shatter the Lightning Release Armor, it could only inflict superficial wounds on the Raikage himself. Meanwhile, Kazuki had to concentrate fully on dodging every devastating punch from the Raikage—otherwise, even a single direct hit would result in shattered bones and torn tendons.
His Sequence 5 dragon scales couldn't withstand the Raikage's fists!
BOOM!
Another violent collision.
Uchiha Kazuki was sent flying by a single punch, crashing through several houses and carving a deep furrow in the ground.
He slowly emerged from beneath the collapsed buildings, dusting himself off, a trace of blood visible at the corner of his mouth.
"It's time to end this, boy."
The Raikage glanced around at the countless collapsed houses, knowing it was time to finish the battle.
"Truly worthy of being the Third Raikage—your physical prowess is indeed formidable." Uchiha Kazuki wiped the blood from his mouth, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly, "However, it's too early to end this battle. I've prepared a surprise for you."
"A surprise?"
The Raikage's expression hardened slightly, then he smirked. "Then let this old man see what surprise you've prepared."
"Thank you, Raikage, for giving me ample time to observe."
Uchiha Kazuki adjusted his glasses, took a deep breath, and said, "That should be enough. I hope it won't cause too much damage."
As soon as he finished speaking, his chakra erupted forth!
"Hmm?"
The Raikage frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
The wind picked up!
From a gentle breeze, it gradually intensified into a gale, and then into a full-blown storm!
The increasingly fierce tempest suddenly raged nearby, seemingly consciously gathering toward Uchiha Kazuki.
BUZZING!
Suddenly, an extremely sharp, ear-piercing buzzing sound rang out.
Like the sound of an object vibrating at high speed and cutting through air, it instantly traveled a great distance.
The nearby Cloud shinobi immediately covered their ears in discomfort.
"Damn it, what is that sound?!" A also covered his ears, his face contorted in pain.
But even covering their ears couldn't block out the ear-piercing, high-frequency buzzing.
They felt as if their eardrums were about to burst!
"What on earth is happening?"
The Cloud shinobi, enduring the pain of their vibrating eardrums, turned their gaze toward the source.
They saw a raging storm roaring around Uchiha Kazuki, like hundreds of wind dragons gathering and cascading down from the sky, crashing directly into his body.
BOOM!
Then, the next second—
Uchiha Kazuki's chakra boiled like gushing magma.
A massive amount of chakra, like burning flames or a roaring hurricane, surged and rippled across his body.
"This is..."
The Raikage's pupils constricted, his face displaying a complex mix of shock, horror, and disbelief for the first time.
"Hey, big bro, that can't be..." B's eyes widened, his expression equally horrified.
"No, there's no mistake." A's pupils dilated, his voice filled with shock. "The technique that guy is using—it's modeled after Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"
BUZZING!
A gale rose from the earth, soaring into the sky like a massive tornado!
Within a radius of several hundred meters, fierce winds raged, echoing like the roars of dragons above the Hidden Cloud Village.
A raging storm was gathering around Uchiha Kazuki.
Massive amounts of wind chakra surged through the air like turbulent currents, vibrating and spinning at incredible speeds, emitting a piercing buzzing sound. Wrapped around Uchiha Kazuki's shoulders, arms, and back, it looked as if four storm wings had torn through his black ANBU cloak, revealing his muscular upper body.
The storm wings unfurled with a WHOOSH, the resulting hurricane spreading outward, instantly clearing the area within several hundred meters.
The terrifying destructive power left countless crisscrossing trenches in the hard ground—like a storm of a thousand blades—the sharp strikes forcing even the Raikage to step back.
His prized Lightning Release Armor was torn open with numerous gaps.
The Raikage's pupils constricted, his gaze fixed on Uchiha Kazuki, utterly shocked by the storm swirling around him.
Unlike the armor in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, this was a completely new mode—a 'Wind Release Chakra Mode' created with wind attribute chakra as its core!
The two were remarkably similar, yet fundamentally different.
"This is my Wind Release Chakra Mode!"
Uchiha Kazuki, like the incarnation of a storm itself, spoke with calm, indifferent eyes: "I call it... Storm Mode: Infinite Instantaneous Roar!"
