“Getting distracted during our fight? I admire your courage.”
Shin looked at the Third Raikage, who was sprawled on the ground, and smirked.
The Raikage spat out a mouthful of blood, That punch had almost knocked him out.
“You call yourself the ‘Strongest Shield’? I don’t even use that title, and you dare claim it? Who gave you the courage?”
Shin taunted the Raikage as he approached.
“Brat, don’t think you’re strong just because you landed a sneak attack. You’re not on my level.”
The Raikage suddenly sprang to his feet, throwing a punch at Shin’s face. This guy really liked aiming for the face. Shin did too.
Shin’s Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan locked onto the Raikage. The Raikage was fast, but to Shin, his movements were slow. The Raikage’s punch missed, his momentum carrying him forward.
“Down you go.”
Shin leaped into the air and slammed his Chakra-enhanced fist into the back of the Raikage’s head.
The Raikage’s eyes bulged, and he crashed to the ground, creating a human-shaped crater.
Shin walked over to the crater and looked at the motionless Raikage. Had he killed him with a single punch?
Even with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the back of the head was still a vulnerable spot.
“I didn’t mean to kill you, but if you die from this, don’t blame me. Your defense is just too weak.”
Shin said to the unconscious Raikage.
“Uzumaki Shin, you think that can kill me?”
The Raikage struggled to his feet, his head spinning. He fought to stay conscious.
Shin’s Chakra-enhanced punch to the back of his head had almost knocked him out, even with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
“As Expected of the Third Raikage. You’re one tough bastard. I, Uzumaki Shin, acknowledge you as the most durable.”
“Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!”
The Raikage suddenly unleashed his ultimate attack, charging towards Shin.
“Lightning Release Chakra Mode.”
Shin’s body crackled with lightning. He could feel his cells becoming more active, his reflexes sharper.
His speed and strength increased.
“Let’s see whose attack is stronger.”
Shin’s fist collided with the Raikage’s Hell Stab.
The Hell Stab was a Jutsu that focused Chakra into four fingers, granting it incredible piercing power. It was far stronger than the Chidori.
And its power increased as the number of fingers used decreased. With just one finger, it was known as the “strongest spear.”
BOOM!
The Raikage was sent flying, his four fingers broken.
Shin looked at his fist, a few drops of blood dripping from it. The Raikage’s attack had injured him.
But the wound healed instantly. The Perfect Sage Body’s regenerative ability was menacing.
The Raikage gritted his teeth in pain. They said the fingers were connected to the heart. Even he couldn’t tolerate this pain.
“How do you know the Lightning Release Chakra Mode?”
He asked through the pain.
“Heh, I know more than just that. I know everything you know,” Shin chuckled.
Shin had learned a lot from this fight. He had copied all the Raikage’s Nintaijutsu.
The core of the Raikage’s Nintaijutsu was the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
With the Sharingan’s copying ability, Shin had copied all the techniques the Raikage had used, including the Hell Stab.
Without the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he wouldn’t be able to use those techniques effectively, but he had copied that too.
“Lightning Oppression Horizontal!”
Shin appeared before the Raikage in a flash and slashed at him with a lightning-enhanced hand.
The attack sent the Raikage flying, leaving a deep gash on his chest.
“That’s quite powerful,” Shin said with a smile.
The Raikage’s heart sank. Shin’s Lightning Oppression Horizontal was identical to his own, but more powerful.
Shin’s Taijutsu was already comparable to his without the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. With it, he was even stronger.
“Thank you for your generous instruction. Goodbye.”
Shin could kill the Raikage now, but he didn’t.
“Raikage, I’ll spare you this time, considering all I’ve learned from you. But I suggest you take your Kumo Shinobi and leave. Killing you would be too easy.”
Shin opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal and stepped through it, leaving the Kumo camp.
He wasn’t boasting. Killing the Raikage would be child’s play. He had only used Taijutsu in this fight. He had many other abilities he hadn’t used.
He could kill the Raikage instantly with Genjutsu. And there was also Ice Release, the Susanoo, his Mangekyō Sharingan abilities, and Sage Mode.
He spared the Raikage because he had his reasons. If the Raikage was foolish enough to continue fighting, he would end up like the Third Mizukage.
….
After Shin left, the Kumo Shinobi returned and saw the injured Raikage.
“Raikage-sama, are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” the Raikage said, standing up. But the blood and his trembling hand betrayed his words.
“Medics! Treat the Raikage’s injuries!” a Kumo Jōnin yelled.
Several medics rushed over to examine the Raikage, who didn’t refuse. He might be putting on a brave face, but his injuries needed treatment.
Especially his fingers. If he didn’t treat them properly, he might not be able to use the Hell Stab anymore.
