Chapter 117 : Chapter 117 Battle Against the Third Raikage
As the Third Raikage's strongest spear thrust forward, it seemed Uchiha Kawame was about to perish.
But at the critical moment, a streak of light flashed by.
His figure instantly vanished from the spot, directly teleporting to a distant location.
Looking closely again, an additional figure suddenly appeared beside him.
It was a handsome young man, draped in the Hokage's exclusive hokage robe. Just standing there, he exuded an elegant charm, a captivating allure.
"Hokage? When did you arrive?"
The Third Raikage frowned, his gaze fixed on Minamikawa Yuu in front of him. He had already realized something was wrong.
For this surprise attack, he had done his homework, conducting extensive intelligence gathering beforehand.
If he remembered correctly, Minamikawa Yuu should still be in Konoha presiding over a celebration and shouldn't possibly be here in the Land of Whirlpools.
"Just arrived a moment ago."
Minamikawa Yuu's expression was calm: "To prevent this situation, I specifically left a Flying Thunder God mark here a long time ago. I can teleport directly when needed."
"Your Flying Thunder God Technique can do such a thing!"
The Third Raikage was astonished.
The Flying Thunder God Technique was much more powerful than he had imagined.
The distance from Konoha to the Land of Whirlpools was extremely vast; even an S-rank Ninja would need at least one or two days to arrive at that speed.
Yet, Minamikawa Yuu, relying solely on Flying Thunder God, had arrived instantly.
This was unimaginably powerful.
"Hmph!"
He snorted coldly and quickly reacted: "Even if you came, what then?"
"Kumogakure has the advantage in the current situation. Even if you can come here with the Flying Thunder God Technique, what can one person change?"
"First, a correction."
Minamikawa Yuu smiled and spoke softly: "I didn't come here alone."
"To show my respect for Kumogakure, I brought quite a few people with me this time."
As his voice fell, figures began to emerge from behind him, one after another.
Mitokado Homura, Uchiha Kagami, Shimura Danzo, Akimichi Torifu...
...A dozen figures emerged successively, the weakest among them being Elite Jonin level.
And figures like Mitokado Homura were firmly Kage-level.
And the strongest among them...
"Nagato... long time no see."
Uzumaki Mito looked at Uzumaki Sōmei in front of her, speaking softly with a gentle expression.
"You are...
...Sister Mito?"
Uzumaki Sōmei recognized Uzumaki Mito, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
He was a clansman of Uzumaki Mito, and by relation, her cousin.
Their reunion now was, in a way, a family gathering.
He looked at Uzumaki Mito in front of him with particular warmth.
"Leave the rest to us."
Uzumaki Mito's eyes were gentle as she silently comforted Uzumaki Sōmei, telling him to go and rest well.
To confront Kumogakure, Uzumaki Sōmei had been fighting for most of the day, his stamina severely depleted. It was indeed time for him to rest.
"To teleport a dozen people to the Land of Whirlpools at once?"
Compared to Uzumaki Mito's gentleness, the Third Raikage on the opposite side was horrified.
Kumogakure also had some research into long-distance teleportation. Although the Heaven-Sending Technique they later developed hadn't been fully researched yet, itsprototype (rudimentary form) already existed.
So he understood the significance of Minamikawa Yuu's action even more clearly.
Although Space-Time Ninjutsu was powerful, its Chakra consumption was also enormous.
Generally speaking, the farther the teleportation distance and the more people brought along, the greater the Chakra required.
To instantly teleport from Konoha to the Land of Whirlpools, the Chakra and Space-Time mastery required for this were already terrifying.
And teleporting a dozen people at once, just thinking about it was suffocating.
The Chakra required for that was simply terrifying.
"Is this guy a human Tailed Beast? How can he do such a thing..."
The Third Raikage frowned, this thought flashing through his mind.
In fact, even for Minamikawa Yuu at this moment, doing such a thing was not easy.
If he hadn't successively devoured first hokages cells and Nine-Tailed cells, gaining the blessings of Wood Release and Tailed Beast power, it would have been almost impossible for him to accomplish all this.
Just his own teleportation had almost drained him.
Teleporting a dozen people such a long distance was not just draining; it was life-threatening.
Even now, it wasn't exactly easy.
This was also why he had already teleported over earlier but hadn't appeared until now.
Because he was seizing the time to recover his stamina and replenish the consumed Chakra.
Of course, acting now was fine.
It wouldn't have a big impact.
"Good, that saves trouble."
The Third Raikage's face turned cold: "As long as I capture all of you, Konoha will essentially be finished."
"This time, coming to the Land of Whirlpools was not a mistake!"
These people in front of him were basically Konoha's elites, either high-ranking Konoha officials or leaders of powerful Ninja Clans.
As long as he could capture them, Konoha might not be completely finished, but it would be essentially paralyzed.
Even better, these people were now away from Konoha, with no one else around them except these eight hundred guards.
However, they had made full preparations for this surprise attack; there were a full five thousand Kumogakure Ninja standing here.
Five thousand against eight hundred, the advantage is mine!
"If you can do it, then by all means, try."
Minamikawa Yuu chuckled: "However, if possible, I ask that you, Raikage-dono, stop."
"The Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning just signed a truce not long ago. Everyone has only enjoyed a few years of peace, so why do this?"
"Enough talk!"
Hearing Minamikawa Yuu's words, veins popped on the Raikage's forehead: "Since you're here, let's have a good fight!"
As his voice fell, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged forward directly.
"It seems a fight is inevitable after all."
Minamikawa Yuu sighed softly, expressing a sentiment.
But in the next moment, he drew his Kunai.
Slash!
A violent whooshing sound echoed.
The ordinary Kunai in Minamikawa Yuu's hand seemed like a divine weapon, unleashing slashes with a mere flick.
Terrifying Chakra erupted, instantly transforming into wind blades that cut down everything in front.
"Such powerful Wind Release!"
The Third Raikage's eyes widened. He actually felt a threat from these slashes.
For him, this was a terrifying thing.
The power of the Lightning Release Armor was immense, enough to shield his body and grant him extremely powerful defense.
In the past, only certain extremely powerful Wind Release techniques were capable of breaking through his body.
But now, Minamikawa Yuu, using only ordinary slashes, subtly gave the feeling that they could break through his Lightning Release Armor.
