“Hell Stab · Four Finger Nukite!”
“Breath of Dissolution · First Form · Ion Severance!”
Another clash.
At this moment, the Third Raikage had unleashed his full power, activating the Lightning Release Armor, his golden hair standing on end, his speed, strength, and defense all rising another level.
Several cracks appeared on the ninja sword.
Shimizu retreated, gripping the ninja sword with both hands, several imperceptible chakra threads fluttering on his fingers, connecting to the puppet, blocking A.
“Chiyo, that old woman, taught a good disciple. With your strength, even if I used all my means, if it weren't for my son's assistance in restraining your puppet, I might not be able to defeat you.”
The Third Raikage shook his arm, glanced at the fine wounds on it, and couldn't help but praise.
Wind Release has a suppressive effect on Lightning Release, and Dissolution Release, formed by the fusion of Lightning Release and Wind Release, also has the ability to suppress the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
He wasn't trying to defeat these two brutes, just needed to stall for enough time.
But it was also a good opportunity to practice.
If it was just the Third Raikage alone, he should be able to gain the upper hand, but the opponent's defense was too strong, and there were no obvious weaknesses. It would be very difficult to win, let alone kill him.
Adding A, who has super-fast speed, even if he hasn't reached his peak yet, he also has near-Kage level strength, and he would be the one being suppressed instead.
If he used the Blood Demon Art version of Flying Thunder God, he could regain a lot of ground, and even suppress these two, but it would still be difficult to take their lives.
There's no need to say more about the Third Raikage. With Shimizu's current attack methods, it's difficult to cause effective damage to him.
Such a strong person can only be worn down little by little, just like how Iwagakure mobilized tens of thousands of elite ninjas in the original timeline to exhaust him to death.
As for A, it would be even more difficult to kill him.
His speed is too fast, his reaction speed is also unbelievably fast, and his physical strength is not as outrageous as the Third Raikage, but he can't be killed so easily either.
A, in his prime in the future, may find it difficult to defeat those peak Kage-level powerhouses, but relying on his speed and decisive personality, it is difficult to lose.
A at this time is still slightly lacking.
Shimizu estimates that if he uses the Blood Demon Art version of Flying Thunder God to keep up with his speed in a one-on-one situation, he has a certain degree of certainty to take him down, but it will take hundreds of moves.
Now that there is an additional Third Raikage next to him, whose abilities are from the same source, who is stronger, and who cooperates fairly well, it is very difficult.
Since using or not using the Blood Demon Art Flying Thunder God has the same result, it's better to just drag it out.
Because Shimizu is confident that without Flying Thunder God, relying on his super regenerative ability alone, he can easily retreat completely.
Then let's just have a good fight!
“Chirp…”
Ethereal white mist accompanied Shimizu's breathing, and a steady stream of Dissolution Release chakra poured into the ninja sword in Shimizu's hand, making the light on it even more dazzling, turning it into a light sword.
The Third Raikage wouldn't really think his sword was about to break, would he?
The avatar in the Demon Slayer world can swing a crimson blade with arm strength, causing the temperature of the blade to rise and become red-hot. Now, Shimizu's main body is injecting high-temperature Dissolution Release chakra into it and controlling it, which is enough to melt the blade and repair it.
Even if doing so would cause the ninja sword to turn into a fire poker, and its sharpness would not be as good as before, it would still be good relying on Shimizu's strength and the power of Dissolution Release itself.
The Third Raikage's heart sank, not expecting Shimizu to have such methods.
The four fingers of his outstretched right hand slowly retracted two of them.
He also had to bring out his trump card.
“Hell Stab · Two Finger Nukite!”
Three years ago, Orochimaru secretly infiltrated Kumogakure and assassinated the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Blue B, with poison, causing the Eight-Tails to go berserk. At that time, the Third Raikage used his strongest spear, One Finger Nukite, to subdue the Eight-Tails, and accidentally injured himself.
That was also the only time the Third Raikage's defense was truly breached, and he was seriously injured.
Therefore, most of the time, the Third Raikage would not easily use that.
Four Finger Nukite is enough to pose a threat to strong people of the same level. The speed and power possessed by Two Finger Nukite are already enough for the Third Raikage to deal with almost all enemies.
Bright blue Lightning Release chakra condensed in the Third Raikage's hand, condensing into a sharp spear along the two fingers at the tip, piercing the air, accompanied by the buzzing of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and instantly arrived in front of Shimizu.
In this state, the Third Raikage's body is further activated by Lightning Release, and his speed in a straight line is almost no less than A's.
At the same time, a round mirror of the same brilliance rose and rotated quickly.
“Breath of Dissolution · Tenth Form · Dissolution Revolving Mirror!”
This move is the tenth sword form of Breath of Dissolution that Shimizu has recently developed. It is a combination of the previous Third Form, Dissolution Whirlwind, and Seventh Form, Dissolution Karma Mirror, and is faster and more powerful.
The next second, the rotating light mirror shattered, and the ninja sword in Shimizu's hand also shattered.
The Third Raikage had many deeper wounds on his body, and pieces of broken sword fragments were stuck in his body, dripping a few drops of blood, which were quickly evaporated by Lightning Release.
He can control the muscles of his body to swell and block this wound, and the high temperature of Lightning Release can also quickly stop the bleeding.
If what Shimizu caused him just now were just superficial wounds, now they are flesh wounds, which will not affect the Third Raikage's combat power.
“You're really amazing… more amazing than I imagined.”
Shimizu looked at his blood-stained right arm, smacked his lips in wonder, and felt a little pain. Then, his left hand covered it with a bright green light and pressed it on his right arm.
If he doesn't heal it, the injury will heal, so he has to use medical ninjutsu to cover it up.
In the absence of absolute crushing strength, the battle of ninjas largely depends on intelligence.
The more intelligence you can hide, the better. Anyway, as long as a force of Kumogakure's level wants to investigate, most of the methods I have used, including medical ninjutsu, can be found. My super self-healing ability was only possessed by Hashirama Senju in the past ninja world, and Tsunade has to be able to do it within a certain time limit after opening the Strength of a Hundred Seal.
