From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 141 The Strongest Lightning Release VS The Strongest Wind Release

The Raikage was reminded of the most shameful memories he least wanted to recall.

But being proud as he was, he disdained to cover it up with lies. So he simply nodded calmly and said, "In my life, I have experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, but only that one battle with the Eight-Tails can be called a 'defeat'."

"As expected of Lord Raikage, you are indeed formidable."

Uchiha Muneki smiled and said, "I've long heard that you've suppressed the rampaging Eight-Tails many times. In that respect, you can hardly be considered a failure."

"Are your questions over?"

Raikage had been waiting impatiently for a long time, so he slowly stood up, resting his hands on his knees.

Just then, outside the Hidden Cloud Village, a firework suddenly shot into the sky.

Snapped!
Brilliant fireworks exploded against the blue sky.

In an instant, as if some kind of signal had been triggered, a violent gale, like a turbulent torrent, swept through the entire office.

With thunderous roars and raging lightning, the surrounding air currents surged and crisscrossed, and chakra surged and burned like flames, bursting forth and transforming into solid armor that covered his body. In a short moment, the Raikage's aura rose to its peak, howling in like a mountain storm.

Even Uchiha Muneki's composed expression couldn't help but show a hint of seriousness.

"Listen up, everyone! No one is allowed to interfere!"

Raikage's muscles were bulging, and his dark veins throbbed as he beckoned to him with his finger: "Boy, let this old man see just how capable you really are!"

"Then... I'll have to offend you—!"

Before the words had even faded, Uchiha Muneki stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and his figure vanished abruptly.

The wind is howling!
A raging storm, carrying extreme anger, swept across the land like a tsunami rising from a vast ocean.

With that incredibly fast figure, sprinting at a speed that nearly surpassed everyone around him, the Storm was left far behind, like a roaring dragon crashing through the narrow space, creating a series of exploding sound barrier rings.

Along the way, walls and ground crumbled, and the shockwaves sent the Cloud Ninja flying.

Without any fancy moves, using the immense momentum of his forward charge, Uchiha Muneki leaped high into the air, then gathered all his strength and kicked out with a single blow.

"Well done!"

Raikage's eyes lit up, seemingly delighted. He immediately assumed a fighting stance, neither dodging nor avoiding, and struck with his fist.

The fists and feet collided, producing a piercing explosion.

boom! ! !
Centered on the two people, the neat and hard rock floor around them was lifted up in layers by the air waves.

The shockwave, almost tangible, created a cavity-like area, carrying immense force that forced the onlookers, the Cloud Ninja, back again.

"What terrifying power!"

The Cloud Ninja stared wide-eyed at the two who appeared to be evenly matched, his face immediately showing horror: "This is the first time I've ever seen someone who can be on par with the Raikage in terms of physical strength!"

It's important to know that the Raikage relies on Lightning Release Chakra Mode to activate his body's cells, which allows him to unleash extraordinary power.

But why did that guy do that?!

"These are...scales? Strange ninjutsu."

The Raikage immediately noticed the fine, hard, pale golden dragon scales covering Uchiha Sogetsu's skin and showed a hint of curiosity: "However, these are not enough!"

As he spoke, the lightning around the Raikage exploded again, and his arm muscles became even more muscular.

"Give it to me—break it!"

With a roar like thunder, Lei Ying strode forward, his fists as hard as iron, unleashing an invincible force.

A powerful force, like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelmed Uchiha Muneki, shattering the dragon scales on his arm and causing blood to flow from the gaps. Finally, unable to withstand the force, Uchiha Muneki was sent flying by this punch.

boom! boom! boom!
He smashed through several walls in succession, and like a cannonball, he flew backward at an angle and crashed through the floor.

It wasn't until it landed on the last layer, creating a crater several meters deep in the surrounding ground, that the force was barely dissipated. Uchiha Muneki felt dizzy and his internal organs seemed to be displaced.

What a heavy punch! What incredible strength!
This was the first thought that flashed through his mind.

No wonder even the rampaging Eight-Tails couldn't do anything about it, and in the end both of them were exhausted. The Third Raikage is indeed terrifying!
However, Raikage had no intention of giving him time to leap down from the shattered ground.

boom!
It crashed to the ground like a meteorite, creating another shockwave.

Raikage was clad in armor, his entire body bathed in lightning, with violent arcs of electricity leaping around him. His bronze skin resembled refined steel, gleaming with a metallic sheen.

"What? Is that all you've got?" His eyes, as big as copper bells, widened in anger, releasing a terrifying killing intent as he stared at Uchiha Muneki lying in the pit. He said in a deep voice, "Get up. You must have more than this much skill, right? If you can't even withstand one punch from this old man, that would be too disappointing!"

Instead of worrying about me, you should look at yourself.

Uchiha Muneki got out of the pit, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.

"Well?"

Lei Ying was slightly taken aback, and belatedly looked down, only to find that his fist was also bleeding.

Tick ​​tick
Bright red blood splattered on the ground.

On his fist, there was a deep, bone-revealing scar, the flesh torn open, and only then did the pain reach his brain.

"I see, a change in wind attribute properties?" The Raikage only glanced at it and roughly understood the cause of the damage. His eyes immediately lit up with fanaticism. He grinned, lowered his body, and his brows radiated intense fighting spirit: "Not bad, now you're worthy of making me take you a little more seriously!"

Crack! Crack! Crack!
Even more violent lightning gathered directly around Raikage.

The leaping arcs of electricity, compressed by chakra, made the armor even more solid, and even the patterns became clearly visible.

"Come on, kid!"

Raikage roared to the sky, his voice like rolling thunder: "Let me see whether your Wind Release is sharper or my Lightning Armor is tougher!"

"Just what I wanted!" Uchiha Muneki stretched out his right hand, his five fingers forming a tiger claw. As he suddenly clenched his fist, a storm of wind howled and gathered from all directions, flowing in opposite directions on both sides, like the sharpest grinding stone, creating an extremely thin 'blade' out of thin air: "Wind Release: Guillotine Blade!"

tread!
As you take half a step, lower your body to its limit.

Uchiha Munetsuki gripped the 'decapitation sword' in his right hand, assuming a drawing-slash stance, and the air he exhaled faintly emitted bursts of shrieks.

After a brief silence, the two figures disappeared simultaneously.

Then, the gale and lightning intertwined, and at the moment of collision, they generated a huge shock wave!

Boom!

Using the wind as a blade, it slashed out a dazzling, cold light.

When an extremely sharp blade meets an indestructible lightning armor, countless sparks fly.

With a deafening roar, the 'decapitation blade' shattered instantly, and at the same time, a gap was cleaved in the hard armor. The sharpest spear and the hardest shield broke almost simultaneously.

The next moment, the two who had been staring at each other charged straight at one another.

The clash of fists, the fierce battle of flesh against flesh.

Two figures were engaged in a fierce and intense confrontation in the cramped office, moving at a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye, creating waves of violent wind and air that impacted the surroundings.
