Chapter 148: Thunder Armor's Flaw

“Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!”

The high-pressure airflow attacked from the side, forcing the strong man to retreat half a step.

He narrowed his eyes and sneered, “More people coming to their deaths?”

“To their deaths?” Renye slowly drew his Tachi, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan locking onto the strong man. “I don’t think so.”

The Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) on the burly strong man’s body allowed Renye to recognize his identity at a glance.

The future Second Raikage…

Facing such an opponent, he naturally wouldn’t underestimate him.

“Renye, Danzo, Koharu!” Hiruzen Sarutobi’s face lit up with joy, not expecting the three of them to arrive in time to save them.

“Koharu, quickly go check on Homura’s injuries,” Uchiha Kagami reminded her.

Even at this moment, Kagami was still worried about Homura Mitokado’s injuries, which only showed that he was indeed an Uchiha who cared for his comrades.

Utatane Koharu heard this and saw the figure lying in the distance. She flickered to Homura’s side and quickly checked his injuries.

“Internal organs are damaged, but he can still be saved.” She immediately performed medical Ninjutsu to heal him.

“You guys, you’re really not taking me seriously.” The strong man looked at the few people who were acting as if he wasn’t there, his eyes filled with killing intent.

This feeling of being ignored was truly irritating.

Especially for him, with his short temper.

When did a group of people about to die dare to ignore him?!

Thinking this, the strong man attacked first. The Lightning Release Chakra on his body suddenly erupted, his speed increasing to the extreme, and he punched Renye.

“Lightning Release: Lariat!”

“Renye, be careful!” Hiruzen Sarutobi and Uchiha Kagami were too far away to provide support and could only shout warnings.

They had fought the strong man before and knew how powerful he was.

If he didn’t dodge in time, he would definitely be severely injured!

Homura Mitokado was a good example…

The strong man’s attack speed was extremely fast. Renye’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, barely allowing him to see the trajectory of the attack, and he dodged sideways at the last moment.

His Tachi slashed at the strong man’s arm.

As long as he could leave a wound, he could easily end the battle!

It was also his first time facing a Ninja using Lei Kai (Lightning Armor), and he didn’t know if ordinary attacks could break through the opponent’s defense.

Under Renye’s expectant gaze, the Tachi landed on the strong man’s wrist.

“Clang!”

The blade collided with the Lei Kai (Lightning Armor), actually sparking!

This slash didn’t even leave a wound on the strong man’s hand, let alone break through the Lei Kai (Lightning Armor)’s defense.

Seeing this, Renye’s pupils suddenly constricted, and the shock on his face was fleeting.

It seemed he had underestimated the defensive power of Lei Kai (Lightning Armor).

Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) being called the “Strongest Lightning Release Armor” indeed had a reason.

Of course, it couldn’t be so easily broken through.

“I told you, it’s useless!” The strong man grinned, countering with an elbow strike.

The attack speed was so fast that he didn’t have time to dodge and could only block with the blade of his Tachi.

His Sharingan captured the attack, but his body couldn’t react.

Renye was knocked back several meters, blood spilling from his mouth, but his eyes remained cold.

With the strength the strong man displayed, it was clearly unrealistic to win.

But he had no intention of giving up, because he wasn’t fighting alone.

Just then, Danzo Shimura completed his hand signs: “Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!”

Dozens of high-pressure wind blades cut from all directions, forcing the strong man to stop his attack. The Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) attached to his body took all the attacks head-on.

Although it couldn’t break his defense, the wind blades’ attacks hindered his movements.

Renye took the opportunity to distance himself from the strong man, suddenly throwing three Shuriken while simultaneously forming a single hand sign.

“Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!”

Flames enveloped the Shuriken, shooting towards the strong man from different angles.

Facing the Shuriken flying towards him, the strong man disdainfully waved his hand to block, but he didn’t expect the Shuriken to suddenly change trajectory, bypassing his defense and heading straight for his eyes.

“Petty tricks!” He suddenly closed his eyes, and the Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) even covered his eyelids.

However, the strong man’s action played right into Renye’s hands.

“Kagami!”

Uchiha Kagami, who had been waiting for an opportunity, suddenly burst forth, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan emitting an eerie red glow.

This was the genjutsu of the Sharingan.

Having Uchiha Kagami use genjutsu was to catch him off guard.

The strong man’s target had always been Renye, and he hadn’t expected Uchiha Kagami to rush out and use genjutsu.

His gaze happened to meet Kagami’s Sharingan, and his movements instantly stiffened.

Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough.

“Clang!”

Renye’s Tachi slashed at the strong man’s neck, but it erupted in a dazzling shower of sparks.

“It’s useless,” the strong man grinned, electric arcs flickering around him. “My Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) can seal even my pores.”

“You want to break through my Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) so badly, let me guess…” The strong man looked at the Tachi on his neck. “You smeared poison on the blade, right?”

Hearing this, Renye’s face showed no expression.

“Did I guess wrong?” The strong man looked puzzled, then shook his head. “It doesn’t matter.”

As he spoke, he threw a backhand punch, and the air suddenly exploded.

Renye quickly blocked the attack with his Tachi, and he was sent flying dozens of meters, plowing a deep furrow in the ground.

At this moment, he finally understood how Ōnoki felt when facing the Third Raikage in the original story.

These “physical saints” really made people despair!

His own attack stats were maxed out, but the opponent’s health and defense were too strong, so his attacks were like a gentle massage.

No wonder Ōnoki had to rely on a war of attrition with sheer numbers; he simply couldn’t win in a normal fight.

Although the strong man in front of him wasn’t as physically strong as the future Third Raikage, he wasn’t far off…

Hiruzen Sarutobi came and stood in front of Renye, spitting blood and smiling bitterly: “This guy’s attack and defense are truly terrifying.”

A guy with high attack and strong defense like this was simply a monster!

“Does this Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) really have a weakness?” Uchiha Kagami murmured softly, a hint of despair appearing on his face.

If they couldn’t find a way to deal with it, they would be finished here today.

“Yes,” Renye wiped the blood from his mouth and explained, “His Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) can’t be maintained constantly; there will be a brief vacuum period.”

The strong man heard Renye’s words, his face showing shock, and he couldn’t help but praise, “You really observe carefully, don’t you?”

The Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) he invented was still being perfected, and currently, just as Renye said, there were times when the Lei Kai (Lightning Armor)’s defense would briefly disappear.

This was due to his lack of proficiency with the Ninjutsu…

“However, what does it matter if you know?” The strong man looked disdainful.

He didn’t believe that they could seize the opportunity and inflict damage on him.

“Konoha’s geniuses, you can hit the road!” The Lightning Release Chakra on the strong man erupted, electric arcs flickering around him.

Renye stared intently at the Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) on the strong man, and indeed, at a certain moment, he noticed the Lei Kai (Lightning Armor) disappear!
