The Third Raikage watched the earth split before him, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. If he hadn’t dodged at the last moment, he’d be in two pieces.
“Another Mangekyō Sharingan user… Uchiha Mikoto, huh?” Lightning crackled around him as he looked at the Susanoo.
Even though he knew this Susanoo wasn’t Shin’s, he still felt a sense of despair.
“The Third Raikage is quite fast.”
Shin watched the Raikage. His speed was incredible, even Kushina and Mikoto would struggle to hit him.
“Sage Mode—!”
While the Raikage was focused on Mikoto’s Susanoo, Kushina activated Sage Mode.
She couldn’t activate it instantly, but Mikoto had bought her time.
Senjutsu Chakra flared around her—cracking the ground beneath her feet.
“Strength of a Hundred Seal—!”
Kushina’s Taijutsu was already strong; now, amplified by Sage Mode and the Strength of a Hundred Seal—her punch could shatter a mountain.
She appeared before the Third Raikage in a flash.
“DIE!!!!”
Her fist connected with the Raikage’s face, his body flying backwards like a ragdoll, His chest caved in.
“That should kill him, right?” Kushina said to herself.
“No, you underestimate him, Kushina. He’s known as the Strongest shield and spear,” Shin said, appearing beside her.
“Strongest Shield? Don’t make me laugh.”
Kushina had heard how Shin had almost killed the Third Raikage in their previous encounter. He’d almost been beaten to death; how could he be the strongest shield?
“He’s still very strong. Even Uchiha Madara wouldn’t be able to defeat him easily.”
“Uchiha Madara? I don’t think he’s even a match for me now.” Mikoto deactivated her Susanoo and joined them.
“Mikoto, even though you’ve awakened the Eternal Mangekyō, Madara has a lot more tricks up his sleeve. Don’t underestimate him just because he’s old.”
Madara might be on his last breath, kept alive by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path—He was still a force to be reckoned with. Underestimating him would be a mistake.
“Cough, cough.”
The Third Raikage spat out blood and struggled to his feet.
“Hell Stab — One-Finger Nukite!”
He unleashed his strongest attack, the One-Finger Nukite, It was probably the strongest piercing attack.
“Kushina, don’t block that head-on. You’ll get hurt,” Shin warned.
“I know, I’m not stupid.”
Kushina had wanted to block it, but Shin’s warning stopped her.
“Sage Art — Super Big Ball Rasenshuriken!”
A massive Rasenshuriken, capable of obliterating a small mountain, flew towards the Raikage.
The Reanimated Third Raikage in the original story could block a Rasenshuriken without injury, but this was a Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasenshuriken.
If the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken was an S-rank Jutsu, then the Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasenshuriken was an SS-rank Jutsu.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The Raikage was blasted away before he could even get close to Kushina.
“Fire Style — Great Fire Annihilation!”
Mikoto used a large-scale Fire Style Jutsu, creating a sea of flames that engulfed the Third Raikage.
“That should kill him.” Mikoto said. She was making sure the Third Raikage was dead.
“That’s some impressive Fire Style, Mikoto.”
Shin was amazed by the scale of her attack. It was a magnificent sight, comparable to Uchiha Madara’s Fire Style.
“Too bad he’s not dead yet. I didn’t expect him to be so resilient.”
Shin could still sense the Raikage’s life force.
“No way… he’s still alive after that?” Kushina couldn’t believe it. She’d thought her Super Big Ball Rasenshuriken and Mikoto’s Great Fire Annihilation would kill him for sure.
The flames dissipated, revealing the Raikage emerging from underground. He’d buried himself to survive the fire—though he was severely injured and burned.
“You’re tough, Third Raikage.”
“Cough, cough. I’m not that easy to kill.”
“Fine, I’ll end this quickly.”
Shin appeared before the Third Raikage in an instant. The Third Raikage didn’t even see him move.
This time, it wasn’t Space-Time Ninjutsu—but pure speed.
Shin created a Black Chakra Receiver rod and pierced the Raikage’s heart. No matter how strong he was—a pierced heart meant death!
The Raikage’s eyes dimmed, and his body collapsed.
“He’s finally dead. Didn’t expect you to intervene,” Kushina said, walking over.
“I just wanted to finish this quickly. He’s dead now.”
Shin looked at the Raikage’s corpse. It was still valuable. It would make excellent material for the Six Paths of Pain.
Of course, Shin had no use for the Six Paths of Pain, but it would be good for Edo Tensei. He had already learned this Kinjutsu. To use Edo Tensei, he needed a certain amount of the deceased’s DNA.
