Facing A's attack, Mikoto showed no intention of dodging. Instead, she clenched her other fist, Lightning Chakra swirling around it, and unleashed monstrous strength.
Her small fist met A's massive one. On the surface, it seemed Mikoto would be crushed, given that one was a burly man with bulging muscles and the other a beautiful young woman. However, to everyone's surprise, the terrifying power erupting from Mikoto's fist actually sent A flying.
Seeing this, the Third Raikage, who was standing by, was filled with intense killing intent. He was well aware of his son's strength.
Although A couldn't compare to him, he was already on par with the previous two Raikage, and in the future, he wouldn't be any worse than them.
His own Lightning Release Chakra Mode focused on extreme defense and extreme power, while his son A focused on extreme speed. Although A couldn't match him in power and defense, he surpassed him in speed.
The Third Raikage once believed that, setting aside the Flying Thunder God Technique, no one's speed could catch up to his son.
Of course, this didn't mean A's strength was weak.
In just a single exchange, the Third Raikage knew that Mikoto was extremely dangerous.
Why did Konoha so often produce so many excellent people, and with such formidable strength?
The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki over there had already grown strong, and now there was Mikoto, not to mention Kazuki.
This generation of Konoha left them with almost no chance to resist.
"Next up, it's you two."
Mikoto didn't consider repelling A a big deal. After all, he was just a minor existence, nothing to her.
Mikoto was a very gentle girl, but her gentleness was reserved only for her own people. Towards outsiders, and especially enemies, she was a typical Uchiha. She would be as cold as ice when dealing with them.
Mikoto stepped forward.
Thump, thump, thump.
Her speed grew faster and faster, putting considerable pressure on the Third Raikage and B.
It wasn't just Mikoto. Kazuki in the distance exerted even greater pressure on them, occupying their thoughts.
Mikoto seemed very strong, but Kazuki gave them even greater pressure.
Years ago, Kazuki already possessed the strength to suppress tens of thousands of ninjas. No matter how arrogant the Third Raikage was, claiming he could move freely amidst an army of thousands was a stretch. He had no confidence in facing tens of thousands of Iwa ninjas and Ōnoki himself alone. He wouldn't have many options, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would likely die.
After all, that was Ōnoki. Even though he was full of confidence in himself, under Dust Release, he could very well die.
"Go!"
The Third Raikage glanced at B, and then the two transformed into streaks of lightning, charging towards Mikoto. The two cooperated seamlessly, both extending an arm, aiming to clamp Mikoto's head.
Lightning Release: Lariat!
This was Kumogakure's secret Body Flicker Technique, and also a perfectly coordinated combined attack by the Third Raikage and B.
Before their strength reached its current level, they relied on their combined use of Lightning Release: Lariat to kill many ninjas stronger than themselves. Now, their strength was already among the best in the Ninja World, making it rare for them to encounter enemies that required them to cooperate again. But when facing Mikoto, both the Third Raikage and B chose to use this move once more.
However, facing their attack, Mikoto saw it clearly with her dynamic Mangekyo Sharingan. She merely bent slightly, and her agile body leaped, her figure rapidly spinning in the air, performing a 720-degree aerial spin.
The long sword in her hand spun continuously, weaving countless slashes. At the same time, terrifying Lightning Chakra burst forth from her body, swirling towards the Third Raikage and B.
The terrifying Lightning Release burst caused the Third Raikage and B's movements to momentarily falter, which gave Mikoto an opportunity. She appeared beside the two, her long sword striking out with a terrifying thrust.
Amidst the swirling lightning, even the Third Raikage and B's so-called absolute defense was breached, leaving sword marks on their bodies. If it weren't for their extremely fast reaction speed, they might have been injured by Mikoto at that moment.
In just this one exchange, the Third Raikage felt immense pressure. He had originally thought that only Kazuki in the Ninja World could suppress them. But now that Mikoto had appeared, the Third Raikage didn't know what to say.
Why was Konoha so blessed with talented people?
Uchiha, it's Uchiha again!
Why hadn't this clan been wiped out by the Senju clan?
These inherently evil Uchiha!
"Father!"
At this moment, A also returned to their side, looking at Mikoto with lingering fear.
"Be careful, this woman is very strong, don't hold back!"
The Third Raikage looked at Mikoto with a solemn expression, his gaze subtly shifting towards Kazuki.
Even now, Kazuki showed no signs of making a move, and they didn't know if he would.
If Kazuki were to act, could Kumogakure withstand it?
The Third Raikage didn't regret taking in Danzo. After all, Kazuki was already a major threat, and finding a way to counter him was not wrong.
He only resented why Kazuki knew about this matter. Their information had been exposed, or perhaps, Danzo had always been under their surveillance. This was not a good thing.
Rumble!
As the three prepared to gang up on Mikoto, the battle between the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails had already entered a fierce stage.
Since Eight-Tails had already started fighting, Kushina would no longer suppress Nine-Tails too much and directly released Kurama. Thus, the scene turned into a great battle between Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails.
Undoubtedly, Eight-Tails was very strong. Among all the Tailed Beasts, Eight-Tails was considered the strongest Tailed Beast after Nine-Tails.
However, Nine-Tails was ultimately the most special. Even half of Nine-Tails could contend with other Tailed Beasts, let alone the complete Nine-Tails.
