Chapter 119 : Chapter 119 The Strongest Spear Defeated
"What powerful Wood Release!"
The Third Raikage rushed out from a distance. Feeling the injuries on his body, his expression became exceptionally grave.
After being struck by the Wood Dragon Jutsu, although he wasn't heavily wounded, his Lightning Release Armor had been severely damaged, showing several cracks.
This was a very dangerous sign.
While the defensive power of the Lightning Release Armor was strong, it had its limits; it would also collapse when facing power that exceeded its threshold.
Clearly, Minamikawa Yuu's power had already surpassed that critical point.
"Still not surrendering?"
Minamikawa Yuu's figure appeared in front, standing atop the head of the wood dragon, quietly looking at the Third Raikage ahead: "If this continues, I'm afraid it's hard to say what your end will be."
"Stop talking big!"
The Third Raikage's face showed anger: "We have five thousand people here. No matter how strong you are, Third Hokage, you are ultimately just one person!"
"What you say isn't wrong."
Minamikawa Yuu's face was calm: "Therefore, I have already made preparations."
"Lady Mito, I'll leave the rest to you."
He looked into the distance.
There, Uzumaki Mito stood quietly. Meeting Minamikawa Yuu's gaze, she nodded, indicating she understood.
She took out a scroll and summoned an object.
It was an exquisitely crafted fan. It was none other than the basho fan that Minamikawa Yuu had previously snatched from the Kinkaku Brothers.
Now, this basho fan had fallen into Uzumaki Mito's hands.
"Could it be..."
Watching this scene, the Third Raikage's heart skipped a beat as an ominous premonition rose within him.
Sure enough, in the next moment, that ominous premonition was realized.
Uzumaki Mito held the basho fan high and swung it down fiercely.
Bang!
Five-Element Burst!
Terrifying power gathered upon the basho fan as the power of Five Elements Ninjutsu erupted, condensing together before blasting forward with a roar.
A power as terrifying as a Tailed Beast Ball landed among the crowd, instantly causing heavy casualties among the Kumogakure Ninjas.
"Damn it!"
The Third Raikage's eyes nearly split with rage as he watched the scene: "To actually use the basho fan against us!"
The basho fan was originally a Ninja tool held by the Kinkaku Brothers; in other words, it was something belonging to Kumogakure.
Yet during the last encirclement of the Kinkaku Brothers, it was forcibly snatched away by Minamikawa Yuu, and now it was being used against Kumogakure themselves.
In a way, it was truly ironic.
"The power of the basho fan is quite decent."
Standing to the side, Minamikawa Yuu couldn't help but nod as he watched the power of the basho fan.
Strictly speaking, the basho fan was not a Ninja tool that just anyone could use.
Without sufficiently powerful Chakra as support, attempting to use this six paths tool would drain one's Chakra in minutes; it wasn't impossible to drop dead on the spot.
However, while this tool was unsuitable for average people, it was perfectly suited for Uzumaki Mito, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
After all, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the one thing she did not lack was Chakra.
Even excluding the Nine-Tails factor, she was also a princess of the Uzumaki Clan, and the sheer volume of Chakra in her body far surpassed that of ordinary people.
This basho fan was a perfect fit in her hands.
Rumble!
Before the Raikage's side could react, series of rumbling sounds echoed from mid-air.
Several powerful Ninjutsu continued forward, looking as though they were about to strike the crowd.
"Stop it!"
The Third Raikage roared, his Black Lightning Release exploding as he tried to rush forward to stop Uzumaki Mito.
Unfortunately, Minamikawa Yuu did not remain idle in front of him.
"Your opponent is me."
He spoke quietly. Although he didn't make many movements, he remained blocking the Third Raikage's path.
"Damn it, does Konoha want to go to war with Kumogakure?"
The Third Raikage roared.
"The ones who want to go to war are you!"
Shimura Danzo spoke with a cold expression: "You clearly signed a ceasefire agreement, yet you secretly came to the Land of Whirlpools for a surprise attack. Is this the attitude of Kumogakure?"
"This outcome is only deserved. If you are sensible, surrender early and you might still receive some leniency."
"If you have the guts, fight a fair duel!"
The Third Raikage said: "A showdown between the strong."
"If you want it, then come."
Minamikawa Yuu took a step forward, his face calm: "Fight me. If you win, I can treat today as if nothing happened and let you withdraw with your people."
"But if you lose..."
"Then I shall be at your disposal!"
The Third Raikage let out a roar and threw a punch straight forward.
"Good!"
A look of satisfaction appeared on Minamikawa Yuu's face.
What he had been waiting for was exactly those words from the Raikage.
In the next moment, he clapped his hands together and began to form hand signs.
"That is..."
On the ground, Uzumaki Mito looked up. Watching Minamikawa Yuu's movements, she felt a sense of realization: "Could it be that move..."
Sure enough, in the next instant, her premonition was confirmed.
Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!
Rumble!
The ground began to bulge continuously as the earth trembled, and forests began to form in this place.
In the blink of an eye, the originally flat ground had turned into a vast, dense forest filled with a vigorous life force.
A powerful Chakra aura crushed down; that kind of power was something even the Third Raikage could not withstand.
Crack!
The Lightning Release Armor on his body began to shatter, having been forcibly broken through.
The myth of the Ninja World's strongest shield was shattered here.
"Ah!"
Within the sea of trees, the Third Raikage struggled desperately, trying hard to rush out of this forest.
Unfortunately, although his strength was great, it was impossible to completely break free from this technique.
Even if his strength was enough to easily smash steel, facing the continuously growing ancient trees, there would eventually be a moment when his strength was exhausted.
Furthermore, his Chakra was far inferior to Minamikawa Yuu's; continuing to resist like this would only result in being worn down to death by Minamikawa Yuu.
Finally, when he could no longer endure, the Lightning Release Armor on his body completely vanished. All his Chakra was absorbed by the Wood Release, and he was thoroughly suppressed.
The Third Raikage had lost!
Watching the scene of the Third Raikage being suppressed in the distance, all the Kumogakure Ninjas wore expressions of shock.
They were filled with disbelief, almost unable to believe their own eyes at this moment.
"How could the Raikage lose?"
"This is impossible!"
They shouted loudly, unwilling to believe this fact.
But no matter what, the truth was right before their eyes.
"Truly fierce."
Minamikawa Yuu took a step forward and arrived beside the Third Raikage.
He looked down at the Third Raikage. Although his face remained calm, he was somewhat surprised in his heart.
The Third Raikage before him was even stronger than he had expected; his strength had definitely reached the top tier of the Ninja World.
In terms of pure strength, among the many Ninjas Minamikawa Yuu had encountered in the past, perhaps only Minato Namikaze was qualified to compare with him.
Of course, compared to the current Minamikawa Yuu, he was ultimately still a bit lacking.
