Seeing hope, the Fourth Raikage was unwilling to give up, so he continued to unleash his Lightning Release chakra, his body crackling with lightning, and his hands were infused with even more Lightning Release, constantly being struck by high-intensity electricity.
Break it for me!
The Fourth Raikage roared.
He had concentrated all his strength, maximizing his Lightning Release and pushing his Ninjutsu and Taijutsu to their limits, unleashing everything he could.
For the Fourth Raikage, he was still no match for his father, the Third Raikage. If he had his father's powerful physique and could use the Lightning Release ninjutsu developed by his father—Hell Thrust Four-Pronged Piercing Hand!
So the Fourth Raikage wouldn't have been caught in such a difficult battle. Unfortunately, he couldn't control the situation, but the Fourth Raikage knew he had a goal.
If I fail this time, I must go back and train hard to master stronger Lightning Release ninjutsu and taijutsu, otherwise I will be a failed Raikage.
However, what the Fourth Raikage didn't know was that the opportunity would never come again.
Bai Mu stood inside the Susanoo, which was on the verge of collapse. He looked up at the Fourth Raikage, who was breaking through the Susanoo's defenses with all his might, sighed softly, and said, "Your performance is really good. Although I didn't use much force, it's quite good that you were able to make the Susanoo show signs of collapse."
That's a compliment!
Praise for the enemy's outstanding performance signifies approval.
But for the Fourth Raikage, this was undoubtedly a disgrace. How dare a mere brat speak in such a tone? It was utterly arrogant.
"Kid, don't think you're so strong. I'll show you right now that I can smash through this turtle shell!"
In his rage, the Fourth Raikage finally pierced through the Susanoo, which was on the verge of collapse, and shattered it completely.
Upon seeing this, the Fourth Raikage threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Kid, did you see that?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he accelerated again and rushed towards Hakubaku, who had lost the protection of Susanoo, because this was the opportunity to kill him.
Bai Mu is very strong, there's no doubt about that.
Whether it's ninjutsu or taijutsu, they are all outstanding. And the Sharingan, the strongest eye technique of the Uchiha clan, goes without saying. They already have the Mangekyou Sharingan, so why would they need to question it?
Despite this, the Fourth Raikage firmly believed that Hakuba was now at his last gasp.
Because techniques like Susanoo consume a huge amount of chakra, and what good is a weakling like Hakumu, no matter how strong he is? How long can his chakra last?
Furthermore, the use of Susanoo, the supreme power of the Uchiha clan and the so-called ultimate eye technique, will likely cause discomfort to the eyes.
For these reasons, the Fourth Raikage believed this was an opportunity—an opportunity to kill Hakubaki.
Facing the ferocious attack of the Fourth Raikage, Bai Mu maintained a calm expression, as if he were unmoved by the impending fatal blow.
The Fourth Raikage didn't care about any of that; the opportunity was right in front of him, and he couldn't afford not to seize it.
"Kid, I'll take your head!"
Determined to win!
The Fourth Raikage was determined to take down Bai Mu's head. He gathered lightning in his hand and slashed down at Bai Mu's head with all his might.
If it hits, the Fourth Raikage is convinced that this head will be destroyed.
No one can survive my lightning strike.
Without the protection of Susanoo...
Uchiha Hakumaki, you're dead.
The Fourth Raikage's response was a dazzling golden light, not Susanoo, but the Golden Light Divine Mantra, which could be used for both offense and defense. However, this time, Bai Mu chose to attack.
Its speed far surpasses that of the Fourth Raikage.
The latter only felt a blur before his eyes, and then the arm that was swinging down with all its might suddenly lost sensation, followed by a sharp pain.
I am...
The Fourth Raikage was bewildered and at a loss.
What followed was an indescribable, excruciating pain.
My arm is broken. My right arm is completely severed.
The part from his hand to his forearm was severed—was he killed by that bastard Uchiha Hakubaku? But how did he do that? I couldn't even see it…
Unbelievable!
For the Fourth Raikage, it was unbelievable and unacceptable, but the matter had already been discovered. He looked down and saw that it was indeed as he had thought.
His right hand was gone, just the wrist part. It wasn't his entire arm that was lost, but it was still a blow, which made the Fourth Raikage a little annoyed.
But now is not the time to be frustrated. The enemy's attacks are relentless. The Fourth Raikage discovered that he had lost sight of Shiramaki and had no idea where he had gone.
The priority now is to stop the bleeding, and then to create distance.
"Big brother!"
Killer Bee ran over.
Although he had entered a half-tailed beast form, his consciousness remained, so he saw the Fourth Raikage lose his right hand, which undoubtedly angered Killer Bee.
My older brother's hand is gone.
The key is the right hand, which has a significant impact.
It was a devastating blow to the battle.
"It's good that you're alright. My injury is nothing. I still have my left hand." The Fourth Raikage was very calm and not flustered at all.
Losing a hand doesn't mean anything.
The Fourth Raikage believed in his abilities, especially since he had his left hand.
However, at this point, Killer Bee was already considering retreating, because the Fourth Raikage had suffered a severe injury and lost an arm, which was no small matter, not to mention that the current situation was very unfavorable.
On his side, only he and the Fourth Raikage remained; everyone else had been killed by Tsunade and two other mysterious women.
Both are users of Ice Release, one with blond hair and the other with blue hair. Their abilities are the same—both use Ice Release—but their methods are different.
The blue-haired woman was even more ruthless, especially towards her own ninjas, whose deaths were extremely gruesome. The blonde woman, on the other hand, was merely frozen in ice; her body remained intact.
Regardless of what it is, these two women pose a great threat, not to mention Tsunade is also watching us closely. Furthermore, we don't have a good chance of winning against Shiromu right now, so to be on the safe side, we should retreat.
Therefore, he had to whisper, "Brother, let's retreat!"
Chapter 60 Are you all that crazy?
retreat?
The Fourth Raikage was unwilling.
There was no option for him to retreat.
Moreover, given the current situation, it's impossible to retreat casually.
The arrival of Hakumaki, Tsunade, and the others was likely aimed at ascertaining the Cloud Village's plans. Now that both sides have encountered each other here, if our side suffers a crushing defeat...
Without a doubt, the blow to the morale of Kumogakure was enormous and immeasurable, which is why the Fourth Raikage could not accept it, even though he knew the situation was already very unfavorable.
But so what?
If you are the shadow, you must shoulder the responsibility and continue fighting.
Furthermore, considering that his father had just died and he had succeeded to the position of the Fourth Raikage, if this war could not bring greater benefits to Kumogakure, how would he suppress the dissenting voices in the village when he returned?
War exploits!
The Fourth Raikage undoubtedly desired this position, so a humiliating retreat would severely damage his prestige, though it might not affect his position.
However, the effects of these blows will continue, so there must be a result.
In any case, I can't just slink back.
Even if things don't go well, we should at least get something.
"No need to say anything more."
"This cannot be returned!"
Upon hearing this, Killer Bee was undoubtedly anxious. He couldn't just watch the Fourth Raikage be in danger, so he still had to try to persuade him.
Before Killer Bee could speak, Shiro's voice came.
"Retreat? You can't retreat!"
Upon hearing this, the two men were immediately enraged and then looked in the direction of the sound.
What came into view was Bai Mu, standing in mid-air, his whole body surrounded by golden light.
The latter stood in mid-air, looking quite relaxed, with a smile on his lips as he looked at them.
"Uchiha Hakumoku, you brat are incredibly arrogant, but you're clearly unable to withstand that kind of drain without using Susanoo..."
"Hehe, are you alright?"
The Fourth Raikage was immediately enraged by Bai Mu's attitude, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly that this was the result of his analysis based on the available intelligence.
Bai Mu is very strong, there's no doubt about that, but can he withstand such a huge drain on his energy?
That raises a question mark, and the Fourth Raikage is very skeptical about it.
I don't believe you're really that strong, unaffected in the slightest.
"Whether it works or not, isn't it obvious at a glance?"
Bai Mu, standing in mid-air, smiled calmly.
Do you think it's okay?
Isn't my performance right now enough to illustrate the point?
The Fourth Raikage clenched his left hand, glanced at his missing right hand (643), the bleeding of which had been stopped, then looked up at Bai Mu and sneered, "Hmph, you didn't even use Susanoo, which means you're already done for, so why are you trying to be brave here? It's pointless."
The strongest Lightning Release Armor remains intact, only slightly weakened, but the Fourth Raikage firmly believes that in terms of energy consumption, Hakubaki will definitely consume more.
Seeing this, Killer Bee knew he couldn't dissuade him, so he immediately whispered, "Big brother, let me do it."
Killer Bee's intention was naturally for the Fourth Raikage's benefit, fearing it might affect his injuries, but the latter refused, saying, "No need, I'm fine."
He added immediately after saying that, "But you should still provide support with the Tailed Beast Ball."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage's chakra became violent once again.
Thunder escape, thunder plow, hot knife!
