From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 167 Lightning Assault on Kikyo Mountain!
At the border of the Land of Fire, at the Kannabi Bridge.

A single Tailed Beast Ball fired from several kilometers away completely shattered the Uchiha's defenses.

The air was scorching hot, and the residual heat filled the air with a pungent, burnt smell. The rock layers, melted by the intense heat, had taken on a glassy, ​​sand-like appearance. The area that had just been struck by the Tailed Beast Ball had been carved out into a massive ravine, resembling the East African Rift Valley.

Suddenly, amidst the deafening thunder, several figures appeared.

The leading man was burly, with skin as black as molten copper, bulging muscles, short, light-gold hair that stood on end like steel needles, and an imposing presence emanating from his brow.

His eyes glared angrily like copper bells, and lightning seemed to surge around him, causing the air to crackle.

"Lord Raikage, should we continue the pursuit?" A man beside him swallowed hard, seemingly intimidated by the new Raikage's imposing presence, and cautiously asked, "We're already very close to Konoha. If we continue, we might encounter an ambush."

Although he didn't say the second half of his sentence explicitly, the Raikage should have been able to understand it.

"Yes, brother, we can't keep chasing them."

Killer Bee wiped the sweat from his face; he was having a hard time even standing up.

He has undergone two partial tailed beast transformations in just a few hours since last night, which has put a tremendous burden on him.

If it happened again, with his chakra and mental strength already at their limits, he couldn't guarantee that the tailed beast inside him wouldn't go berserk.

Unfortunately, Raikage A remained completely unmoved, seemingly not listening at all. With an indifferent expression, he stared blankly in the direction of Konoha. After a moment of silence, his deep voice, like muffled thunder, reverberated through the surrounding air, emanating a low pressure: "No, continue to accelerate!"

Are you crazy?!

Upon hearing the order, everyone else wore expressions of complete incomprehension.

What is the Raikage thinking? This is the Land of Fire, within the sphere of influence of Konoha Village, not their own territory!

If we continue to pursue them further, what if we encounter an ambush by Konoha? Who will come to our rescue if something happens?

Are they relying on the main force of the Cloud Ninja in the rear?

Stop it!
By the time the main force arrived, the bodies were already cold!

"keep going!"

Lei Ying Ai's eyes were cold and his extremely powerful aura stunned everyone into silence.

After a slight pause, and once no one dared to object, he continued, "Kirabi, I order you to return to the rear and rest for half a day. Then, as quickly as possible, lead my direct subordinate units to provide support along the signals I left behind. Do you understand?"

"Brother, are you really going to do this?"

Killer Bee's pupils contracted as he realized that his older brother was truly determined to pursue this to the end!
"Go."

Lei Ying Ai stopped talking and rushed out first.

The remaining five lamented their misfortune and could only place their hopes on Killer Bee before reluctantly rushing out.

No one knows what the Raikage is thinking.

Why must they follow that damned Uchiha and venture alone into enemy territory? Do they really intend to change the course of the entire war single-handedly?

Those who followed the Raikage were all handpicked, the elite of the elite, and were responsible for protecting the Raikage.

But at this moment, they still found Raikage's decision utterly absurd!

Soon, with Raikage A advancing at full speed, the distance was gradually shortened, and even the sensory ninjas in the team were able to detect the chakra ahead.

"Lord Raikage, there are two chakra trails ahead. Judging from their speed, they should be the Uchiha who are trying to escape," the sensory ninja reported truthfully.

"is it?"

Lei Ying's eyes darkened slightly, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Then... chase after them and kill them!"

Upon hearing this, he slightly bent his knees, and the moment he landed, his feet slammed down with tremendous force.

boom! ! !
In an instant, terrifying smoke and dust, accompanied by surging air currents, erupted.

The earth seemed to be trampled by an ancient beast; the terrifying force instantly shattered the rock layers, creating a dense network of visible cracks, like a spiderweb. Meanwhile, using the reverse impact, Lei Ying Ai's figure broke the sound barrier in an instant, dragging layers of air waves behind him, roaring like wind dragons. Blinding lightning accompanied the booming sound, tearing through the forest!

"No, that's not good!"

Fugaku Uchiha, who was fleeing ahead, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. His extensive combat experience prompted him to instinctively dodge.

Boom!

Just as he dodged to the side, a violent hurricane, accompanied by a shockwave, blew him away.

With his eyes half-closed, he couldn't even see the figure clearly when a blinding bolt of lightning ripped through his vision, followed by a fist full of killing intent that shattered and boiled the air in front of him!

"Lei Dou Ninja encounters the Toto Reiki Sword!"

A fist brimming with lightning-attribute chakra hurtled forth like a cannon.

The terrifying power even pierced through the air, carrying immense pressure that made it difficult for Fugaku to breathe.

Raikage?

That's impossible! How could the Raikage be here?

Isn't this guy afraid of being ambushed?

In the split second that the thought flashed through his mind, Fugaku only had time to raise his arm to defend himself.

boom! ! !
One shot, and it hit.

The fists clashed solidly, penetrating Fugaku's defenses without any resistance.

The bones in his arms were shattered in the instant of contact. The unparalleled and fierce power easily broke through his defenses and even hit his chest directly.

Click!

His sternum was shattered by the blow, and Fugaku coughed up a mouthful of blood.

However, Raikage Eiko did not intend to end it there and took another half step forward.

boom!
The hard ground seemed to be shaking!
With just a stomp of his foot, the ground within a radius of nearly ten meters seemed to collapse.

Countless fragments of stone flew everywhere, and jagged cracks spread out at an extremely fast speed. The billowing dust and smoke waves that were raised even amazed the onlookers, including Ryoma and the Cloud Ninja. Such terrifying power was as if it would turn the earth upside down!
The violent lightning release stimulated the body's cells, causing Raikage A's already powerful body to suddenly swell up like an inflating balloon.

After a brief moment of gathering his strength, he suddenly switched from a punch to an elbow strike.

"Heavy Storm!!!"

The lightning release, concentrated at the elbow, unleashed astonishing power within a small area.

Unlike the previous boxing match, this time it was at extremely close range, and without any defense, that he was hit by a concentrated, explosive attack.

The incredibly surging chakra transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, crashing into it with unstoppable ferocity.

boom! ! !
Fugaku was blasted away like a rag doll.

In a daze, Fugaku seemed to see countless flashbacks, but the suffocatingly violent lightning crashed down like a ferocious dragon.

Then everything went black before his eyes, and he was completely swallowed up.

Large swaths of blood and flesh flew everywhere. Fugaku Uchiha was sent flying backward, only to be caught by Ryoma Aburame, who didn't even dare to look at him before turning and running away. At the same time, he released a large swarm of parasitic insects, intending to hinder Raikage A's progress.

run!
At this moment, Ryoma Aburame had no other thoughts in his mind.

Raikage A was far more terrifying than he had imagined; he had severely injured Uchiha Fugaku in just one exchange!
Was Fugaku too weak, or was the Raikage too strong?

Ryoma Aburame didn't have time to think too much; he only knew how to send the swarm of insects and couldn't stop the Raikage for too long!
The chapter title is incorrect; it should be Chapter 166.
