From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 32 Stop
"It's been a long time, Raikage-sama."

Hatake Sakumo slowly stepped out from the depths of the woods, the white fang dagger in his hand flashing with a cold light, and the expression on his face was the same as when he first met Sawara Kiri and others, calm and peaceful, without showing much emotion.

However, Sawara Kiri, who was standing not far from him, could clearly feel the trembling brought by the huge amount of chakra that was constantly surging from deep within this man's body.

Although the person who came into view was still the same person, in all of Sawara Kiri's senses, Hatake Sakumo seemed to have turned into a knife at this moment.

An extremely sharp dagger.

Just by looking at him, a slight stinging sensation would even arise deep in my eyes.

However, Hatake Sakumo's voice remained unhurried, and he paced slowly around the Third Raikage: "For safety reasons, I will ask in advance."

"That ends today's matter."

"What do you think, Raikage-sama?"

"."

"what."

The Third Raikage listened to his words and suddenly laughed, but his expression seemed to be suddenly furious. His muscles swelled, veins on his forehead bulged, and he shouted:
"That's it!?"

"Are you insulting me?"

"Konoha White Fang, whose land do you think you are standing on?"

"There has never been a coward like you in Konoha, Kumogakure!"

Hatake Sakumo stopped, turned to look at him, and sighed slightly:

"The negotiations failed."

"In that case."

Almost at the moment the words fell.

The figures of the two people disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time.

All I could hear was a delayed clanging sound.

"Soon-"

The wind howled.

Sawara Kiri placed his hands in the shape of a cross in front of him, with his feet firmly attached to the ground with chakra.

The depths of the deep blue eyes reflected every move of the two.

Six Eyes

Although the extreme speed of the Third Raikage has been witnessed many times, the shock brought by the scene when two super-fast ninjas with almost equal speeds collide with each other is difficult to describe in words.

Incredibly fast.

This is not just Sawara Kiri's idea.

Even the Third Raikage, who was fighting against Hatake Sakumo, felt shocked.

If his extreme speed was completely driven by the extremely high physical activity brought about by the special lightning escape technique and the electromagnetic force, then the man in front of him was the ultimate wind escape technique.

In his eyes, Hatake Sakumo was completely wrapped in a ball of pure white.

That is a 'protective circle' formed entirely by wind escape.

The air in front of him not only did not become a resistance, but instead turned into the strongest driving force, constantly pulling him forward.

At the same time, with his ultimate control over this technique, he could even leap among the dense bushes with an extremely flexible posture, repeatedly avoiding his collisions.

Even its straight-line speed is faster than mine.

And
The Third Raikage was still charging forward when he suddenly stopped and moved to the other side.

The next moment, the pure white sword light penetrated the rain curtain and went straight through dozens of meters. With countless extremely fine wind blades, it plowed a straight gully on the surface of the earth, just sticking to his body and passing by.

"Zizzi-"

The Third Raikage lowered his head and looked at the lightning armor on the side of his shoulder.

I saw that a tiny mark about half an inch deep was left on the surface of the originally intact armor, which caused a surge of thunder.

"Alaaa."

Hatake Sakumo stood on the treetop, looking down at the scene, seeming quite helpless.

Behind the Third Raikage were countless tree stumps that had been cut off from the roots.

"Although I've heard of the title of 'The Strongest Shield', I'm still worried that it didn't even leave a trace after using all my strength to attack."

His voice was clearly quite serious, but there was an inexplicable sense of nonchalance in his tone.

"fine."

“I’m not the main attacker.”

The Third Raikage suddenly raised his head as if he had remembered something.

Could it be? !
Immediately afterwards, the figure of 'Sawara Kiri' suddenly fell from the air, and with the violent whistling sound of "Wind Style: Instant Body Technique", he struck with a flying knee.

The target was his head.

"really!"

The two punches that were too powerful left a very deep shadow in the heart of the Third Raikage.

If there is anyone in the entire ninja world who can kill him with one move except for the old guy Ohnoki's Dust Release, it is probably only that kid.

Driven by this sense of crisis, he didn't even have time to make more observations during this high-speed movement. He immediately rolled and slid to the side, turning into a flashing stream of light.

However, the moment this 'Sawara Kiri' landed on the ground, he suddenly raised his hands and hooked his ten fingers together.

"Fuck!"

With a harsh friction sound, dozens of extremely thin steel wires were stretched along the broken tree stump and propped up near the ankles of the Third Raikage, forming a ring of tripwires.

Almost at the moment when the Third Raikage passed by that place, the steel wires that collided with the Thunder Armor broke one by one.

But the slight resistance it brought caused his steps to stagger for a moment.

This brief pause immediately made the battle-hardened Third Raikage realize the problem.

If the guy who appeared just now was really that guy, there would be no need to set up such an unnecessary trap. But, what exactly do they want to do?
Apart from his fists, is there anything else that can break my defense?
A series of questions flooded into his mind in this brief moment.

Roll, lie on the ground, twist your body, and prepare to sprint.

The Third Raikage did not notice that the moment he lowered his body, his sight passed through the puddles on the ground and met a pair of scarlet eyes dotted with magatama.

"Magic Sharingan."

The pupil technique that had been lying in wait for a long time penetrated into his mind as their eyes intersected.

For a Kage-level warrior who has extremely rich countermeasures for various illusions including the Sharingan, this Sharingan illusion of the mere two-magatama level, no matter how long it takes to prepare, has an effect on him that is so weak that it is almost ridiculous.

A moment at most.

It only took him this short moment to break free with his strong resistance to illusion and mental energy.

However, in a life-and-death struggle, this mere moment is enough to decide everything.

"Om-!"

The third generation of Lei Ying seemed to have foreseen something, and a roar more violent than a landslide rang in his ears.

He had heard this sound twice.

It was exactly the moment when he broke through the illusion and took a step forward.

Sawara Kiri's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The inertia, so huge that even he himself could hardly change it, pushed him forward. He twisted his waist and continuously transferred the force from his feet to his shoulders with the momentum of penetrating through each joint. After the tip of his fist was swung out like a long whip, it pierced the sound barrier and, with a piercing blast, brazenly stabbed into the abdomen of the brown bear-like man.

During this process, the Third Raikage only had time to protect his head with his hands, and the lightning armor on his body became brighter and brighter.

"No Limits Technique: Serious Punch"

"boom!!!"

The sound of punches was deafening.

The lightning armor that blocked this punch was like a foam made of ice crystals. After a crack was opened, it continued to collapse backwards like a domino.

A deep mark was imprinted on the surface of the strong abdominal muscles that had been trained for a long time.

The swelling blood kept rising up along the stomach, and it seemed that it would soon burst out of the mouth like a fountain.

However, a glimmer of hope still rose in the heart of the Third Raikage.

'The last punch didn't hit the head!'

However, the moment this thought popped into his mind.

However, a series of dazzling pure white arcs of light were seen slashing out from behind Sawara Kiri.

The wind was blowing fiercely.

Hatake Sakumo leaped over Sawara Kiri's figure and slashed his blade forward.

"die--"

"Asshole!!"

There was no order in which the two voices came out.

The chakra dagger named White Fang cut deeply into the shoulder and neck of the Third Raikage, and continued to chop towards the collarbone, but was blocked by the thick arms on both sides of the head, embedding into the solid muscles and bones, splattering blood.

This well-trained body was actually not much weaker than the armor wrapped around it, but it was the first time he had suffered a real wound since he had mastered the art of escape.

The rising Wind Style Chakra collided with the re-ignited Lightning Style Armor, and the two unilaterally restrained chakras continuously offset and regenerated. The Third Raikage's chakra, which was more terrifying than the tailed beasts, ignited into his power inexhaustibly. Although he was clearly the restrained party, he had the advantage in this duel with a more terrifying "quantity".

"Drink——!"

The two figures, one sturdy and one lean, wrestled with each other amid continuous shouts, knocking down huge trees one after another, pushing forward step by step, and their footsteps plowed deep grooves on the ground.

Until the end, Hatake Sakumo was finally about to feel exhausted, so he gritted his teeth, took a half step back unwillingly, drew out the dagger, and chopped forward again.

However, when he swung the sword this time, the lightning armor that had just been broken had recovered a little.

"squeak!"

Blood gushed out from the wound across his chest.

This time, the third generation Lei Ying finally felt the personal threat and jumped back more than ten meters.

They were facing each other and breathing heavily.

Only Sawara Kiri, with silent eyes, quietly looked at Hatake Sakumo's back.

really.

This man is too dangerous.

It’s better to keep a few more cards in your hand.

Whether the Raikage lives or dies has little to do with him as an undercover agent, but how he can retain his strength in a fierce battle has a lot to do with him.

Sawara Kiri knew exactly what he was here for.

The three serious punches he had delivered to the Raikage were enough to consolidate his position and value in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.

"."

This silent confrontation lasted for nearly three minutes.

Both the Raikage and Konoha sides were waiting for news from their own people.

till the end.

"Whoosh."

The Byakugan ninja in Konoha uniform jumped down from the treetop and whispered:
"Sakumo-sama, Tsunade-sama and the Kime-jounin have been relocated."

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo finally seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't say anything more, just stared in the direction of the Third Raikage and slowly and cautiously retreated behind him.

After they were hundreds of meters away, he led everyone and jumped onto the treetops.

This time, the Third Raikage just watched them leave quietly without saying anything.
