At this moment…
The Fourth Raikage A clearly recognized the huge gap between himself and Uchiha Madara.
So—
Which card should he pick?
After hesitating for a while, A finally made his decision—
He went with the second card.
He firmly believed in his own judgment.
He thought that the bald man depicted on the second card was just a regular person.
"Hahaha!"
"Yeah, that's gotta be it."
"I should be able to beat this bald guy easily!"
Meanwhile, in the group chat, the others were analyzing and debating the three cards.
[Group Chat]
[Izuna Uchiha @Madara]: Nii-san! Do you think the Fourth Raikage has the guts to pick the third card?
[Madara Uchiha]: Come on, Otouto—
He's chickened out of our duel multiple times.
There's no way he'd pick me in my prime.
Truth be told, even though Madara said that…
He was secretly hoping the Fourth Raikage would choose his card.
[Hashirama Senju]: So what do you guys think about the first and second cards?
[Tobirama Senju]: Nii-san! I've never seen that first guy before,
But he's clearly super buff—probably a taijutsu specialist.
He's not wearing a forehead protector, so I doubt he's a shinobi.
Meaning—no ninjutsu.
[Izuna Uchiha]: Not bad, "Dumb Tobirama"!
You actually made a decent analysis.
So what's your take on the second card?
[Tobirama]: You calling me dumb?! Come here, Izuna!
Let's have a duel right now if you're so bold!
[Izuna]: Fine, but first—your thoughts on card number two?
[Tobirama]: As for the second card…
I also think he's probably just an ordinary guy.
If the Fourth Raikage picks him, he should win easily.
[Ōnoki – Third Tsuchikage]: I don't know…
The more ordinary someone looks, the more dangerous they tend to be.
[Immature Kid Who Loves Tsunade @Old Hag Trying to Look Young]:
Yo, Old Hag! What do you think?
["Old Hag Trying to Look Young"]:
Ugh, you again? Can't you stop tagging me all the time?!
[Immature Kid]:
Don't tell me you can't tell who's the strongest and weakest among those three cards?
[Old Hag]:
Of course I can! Are you stupid?!
It's obvious: The third card is the strongest, and the first is the weakest!
[Immature Kid]:
Why do you think the first card's the weakest?
[Old Hag]:
Isn't it obvious? They're arranged in order from weakest to strongest!
Left to right—1, 2, 3!
[Madara @Hashirama]:
Haha! Gotta admit, your little Tsunade made a decent guess this time!
[Tobirama @Madara]:
Madara, earlier you said the Fourth Raikage might be trapped in that sealed space forever.
Do you actually know who those other two cards are?
[Madara]:
Not exactly.
But I know this much: Both the first and second cards…
belong to people stronger than the Fourth Raikage.
Hearing that, many in the Cloud Village started to worry—especially Killer Bee.
The rest of the villages?
They just laughed and enjoyed the show.
In the sealed space:
After a moment of hesitation, A still chose to trust his instincts.
"I choose the second card!"
The moment he made his selection, the three cards vanished.
And in their place stood a bald man:
Saitama.
Saitama blinked and looked at A, confused.
"Who are you?
Why the heck am I here?"
A: "I don't know who you are—
But I'm sorry…
Please fall before my fist!"
Without hesitation, A lunged forward with a punch.
What no one knew was—
That punch was thrown with everything he had.
But what shocked everyone—
Was that this ordinary-looking bald man…
Stopped A's full-power punch with a single finger.
At the exact moment A attacked, Saitama instantly grasped the rules of the situation.
In short:
He wasn't allowed to hold back.
A: "What?!
You're not just a normal guy?!"
Saitama: "The mall's having a sale. I'm in a hurry."
With that, Saitama casually threw a punch.
BOOM!
A was instantly KO'd.
Saitama vanished.
A was revived.
The three cards reappeared before him.
Same choices.
This time—
No way was A picking that bald guy again.
That dude was terrifying.
He had blocked A's full-powered punch with a single finger,
And then casually one-shotted him without breaking a sweat.
[Hashirama]: My god…
What kind of power is that?
[Tobirama]: Based on everything we've seen about A,
his strength and defense are top-tier.
But that guy crushed him with ease…
[Izuna]:
Tobirama, you really are an idiot.
Didn't you say that guy was just a normal person?
[Tobirama]:
Tch! You agreed with me a minute ago!
[Madara]:
Hahaha! I told you, didn't I?
It doesn't matter if A picks the first or second card—
Either way, he loses.
As for the third card…
I don't even need to explain.
[Mabui]:
No… is Lord Raikage really going to be trapped forever in that space?
[Third Raikage]:
Damn it!
If he's stuck in there…
What happens to the Cloud Village?!
[Ōnoki]:
Looks like Cloud's finished!
Hahaha—
Why am I… feeling a little sad?
Is it because there'll be no more jokes in this chat group?
[Immature Kid]:
Old Hag!
I can't believe you were right earlier.
Guess that really was the weakest card.
[Old Hag]:
Now you understand the gap in IQ between us!
Back to the screen:
After thinking it over, A picked the first card.
And then—
Son Goku appeared.
The moment Goku entered the space, he instantly grasped the rules.
He immediately transformed into Super Saiyan—
And one-shot the Fourth Raikage.
[Mabui]:
It's over…
Lord Raikage's really going to be stuck in there forever.
[Third Raikage]:
There has to be one more chance!
[Madara]:
What?
You think he can beat me?
Let me be clear—
That card isn't just me.
It's me at full power. And…
[Izuna]:
Nii-san! What "and"? What are you hiding?
[Madara]:
Hehehe…
If the Fourth Raikage really picks me…
You'll see soon enough.
Let's keep it a surprise.
Back in the sealed space:
After hesitating for a bit—
A did not pick the third card.
He picked the second card again.
His thinking?
That bald guy might just be strong physically.
But what if he launched a surprise ninjutsu assault?
Maybe he could catch the guy off guard.
Once more, he made his choice.
Saitama reappeared.
Saitama: "You again?!"
A: "Heavy Flow Smash!"
He gathered lightning chakra to his elbow and struck Saitama directly in the face.
But what shocked A—
Was that Saitama didn't even flinch.
Saitama: "Dude, stop picking me already.
You're not even close to being my opponent."
Then, with another casual punch—
BOOM!
