In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 305: Shimizu vs. Raikage and his son
The Sand Village and the Cloud Village do not have any territorial borders, and unlike the Kirigakure, they do not have conflicts of interest with the Sand Village in the past. On the contrary, they both have Konoha as their enemy. If possible, the Third Raikage does not intend to make enemies with the Sand Village.

"I'm sorry, Raikage-senpai. I just said that they are already members of the Sand Village. I don't think the Cloud Village will think that abandoning their companions is the right thing to do, like Konoha?"

Shimizu smiled at the Third Raikage and mentioned the White Fang incident in Konoha.

He wished he could use words to keep these two people at bay, the longer the better.

Now the seven or eight big and small cats of the Blood Pool Clan are all gone, leaving only Yuya Shiroen standing here with them.

Together with Ye Cang, Maki, and Sanda, there are four jonins, two of whom are elite jonins. As long as they don't encounter other Kage-level strongmen or the organized troops of the five major ninja villages, there will basically be no opponents, which is enough to send the team out of the Land of Hot Springs safely.

With such a large team and an obvious target, they will definitely ask the Sand Village to send people to pick them up after they withdraw.

However, the Sand Village is quite far away, and Shimizu estimates that it will take a high price for Hanzo to take action.

As long as they can cross the Land of Fields as quickly as possible after withdrawing from the Land of Hot Springs and reach the range that Hanzo's forces can reach in a short period of time, they will basically be considered successful.

"Little devil, don't play those nonsense with me. Anyway, I just want to keep you alive and not destroy you."

The Third Raikage obviously had no patience anymore. He twisted his neck, clenched his fists as big as casserole pots, and burst out lightning chakra from his body. He rushed towards Shimizu like a heavy tank rushing at high speed.

Faster than him was the Fourth Generation Ai, who had transformed into a bolt of lightning and attacked, trying to break through the blockade formed by Qingshui and the three puppets.

"Then there's nothing we can do..."

Qingshui shook his head regretfully, and also transformed into a flash of lightning and rushed forward.

"Thunder Escape: Thunder Plow Hot Knife!"

"Li Dun·Second Form·Li Zhi Liu Wu!"

The hand knife and the ninja sword faced each other, releasing a powerful wave of energy in an instant.

Then came the second, the third...

Not far away, the fourth generation Ai instantly dodged Big Ivan's carpet bombing, elbowed the little boy, and then punched the fat man's earth-splitting punch.

It is basically impossible for three puppets with an average mass equivalent to that of the Kinmatsu Juninshu to defeat a strong man close to the Kage level, but it is not a big problem to delay him.

The little boy's speed was much slower than that of the Fourth Generation Ai, but he could at least keep up. In addition, the large-scale attacks of Big Ivan and the fat man were enough to stop the Fourth Generation Ai for a while.

Compared to him, the truly troublesome opponent is the Third Raikage.

In just a short moment, the two men exchanged dozens of moves.

The first impression Qingshui had of this guy was that he was hard.

Not only is the defense strong, but the attack is as well.

The physical fitness of the Fourth Generation Ai enables him to defend against most conventional ninjutsu when using the Lightning Release Chakra mode. In order to enhance his attack and defense capabilities, the Fourth Generation Ai wears metal arm guards made of circles of lines on his arms.

The Third Raikage didn't need it at all, because he couldn't find anything harder than his flesh in the Ninja World, even if he controlled one of the five strongest forces in the Ninja World.

Unless he can find a divine weapon like the Kusanagi sword, his body is the strongest ninja tool he can find, whether for attack or defense.

Excluding special attacks like Dust Release and Amaterasu, it would be difficult to really hurt him.

"Heavy flow storm!"

"Issue Breathing·One Type·Ion Cut!"

"Lei Dou Ninja encounters the Toto Reiki Sword!"

"Li's Breathing, Eighth Form, Li Rotation!"

The fight between the two became more and more intense. Although it was just a physical fight, Shimizu felt that the ninja sword in his hand seemed to be overwhelmed.

Although this sword is also a high-quality ninja tool that has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, and its cost is equivalent to two S-level missions, and it can withstand Shimizu's strength when facing most enemies, allowing Shimizu to basically exert his strength, it is ultimately not as good as weapons made of chakra metal such as the Thunder God's Sword and the White Fang Dagger, let alone artifacts such as the Kusanagi Sword that have been passed down from ancient times.

The hardness and power of weapons made of chakra metal will increase with the chakra strength of the holder.

If it is in the hands of an ordinary Chunin, it can greatly increase the power of the swordsmanship, but the quality is average. In the hands of a Jonin, the power is even better, but there is still a possibility of being broken.

But when it comes to the top swordsmanship masters in the ninja world like Hatake Sakumo and Senju Tobirama, these weapons made of chakra metal, after being strengthened by top-level chakra, their sharpness and hardness are enough to compete with artifacts like the Kusanagi sword, becoming the sharpest weapon in the ninja world.

But this practice is too extravagant, and few people would do this except for the wealthy Konoha.

This thing is too rare, and in the Sand Village, most of the chakra metal is used to build the key hubs needed for top-level puppets. Basically 60% of it is in Chiyo's Chikamatsu Ten.

The remaining part was used to make the Three Star Fan, and the strongest one is now in Jialuo's hands.

There are also a small amount of chakra metal in Qingshui's three puppets. This kind of chakra metal is basically melted and pulled into extremely thin filaments to strengthen the control of the chakra line over some important hubs.

The total amount of chakra metal in Qingshui's three puppets may be less than ten grams.

The truly most cost-effective way is to combine chakra metal with other special metals to make other high-quality ninja swords. The upper limit of this method is not as good as ninja swords made directly with pure chakra metal, but the lower limit is much higher. The typical representative is the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist Village. With a few exceptions such as Samehada, other ninja swords, such as the Double Swords·Ashi, the Long Sword·Stitch, etc., are all like this.

For the top swordsmen in the ninja world, that little bonus is of little use, but for some jonin and elite jonin, relying on the special mechanism of the sword itself, they can exert a power far beyond that of ordinary jonin.

In fact, if Shimizu could have a ninja sword like this, it would be enough. It doesn't need to be able to greatly enhance the attack like the White Fang short sword, but it should be durable enough to fully exert Shimizu's full strength and not be like it is now.

But unfortunately, chakra metal is expensive and in short supply. The Sand Village was not good at swordsmanship in the past, so it did not have this kind of weapon.

If Qingshui wants it, he probably has to find a way himself.

Now, the Third Raikage, who had fought for half his life, had judged through his rich combat experience that the weapon in Shimizu's hand could no longer withstand the force. After discovering that it was difficult for him to cause effective damage to Shimizu, he began to change his fighting style.
