Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Why would Akai pull this stunt at such a crucial moment?

The Raikage also fell silent.

That guy...

Is he really a master of physical combat?

Is Konoha okay?

He couldn't help but look at Chiba and Tsunade.

Chiba remained expressionless and calmly asked, "Lord Raikage, what are your thoughts now?"

"Hmm, I don't have any ideas."

The Raikage was naturally too embarrassed to suggest that Chiba replace him with someone else.

but.

Chiba grinned and said in a low voice, "You must think that Teacher Kai is weak, right? But why don't you think this is Teacher Kai's tactic?"

"..."

I've fallen for your nonsense.

The Raikage mentally scoffed, then walked forward, saying impatiently, "You're Might Guy? Chiba said your taijutsu is very strong and wants you to spar with me. Will you go first or should I?"

"This is Konoha, so of course we should let the guests make the first move."

Matt Kai darted forward and gestured for them to proceed.

Raikage stood there arrogantly, and after hearing this, kicked a pebble over.

Matt Kai didn't move, letting it fly past his ear.

The Raikage smiled slightly: "I've already made my move."

"Well, in that case..."

Matt Kai's eyes hardened, and his aura instantly changed.

Jingmen Gate, open!

Raikage's pupils shrank instantly.

A powerful burst of chakra erupted from Kai's body, flowing across his skin and muscles, forming a protective layer.

What kind of technique is this?

He looked at Might Guy, recalling Chiba's words just now—

How do you know this isn't a disguise?

The moment the thought crossed Raikage's mind, he saw the other party appear in front of him instantly.

In an instant, powerful lightning chakra appeared on the Raikage's body.

Lightning armor!

boom!

As their fists collided, Might Guy instantly stumbled back several steps.

Atsui clenched his fist, secretly pleased for the Raikage.

really.

Although Guy is strong, the Raikage is still the most powerful!

but.

Samui is not so optimistic.

Lord Raikage...

It seems like I suffered a hidden loss.

She couldn't figure out the trick, but given the Raikage's personality, if he had the upper hand just now, he would definitely have immediately followed up and defeated Might Guy with a single punch.

But he didn't do that; instead, he let Kai stand still.

Something is wrong!

She observed secretly, and then her guess was further confirmed.

Lord Raikage...

Avoid the opponent's attack!

why?

Samui couldn't understand it; this wasn't the Raikage she knew.

Chiba and Tsunade understood why.

Because that punch wasn't just a hard punch.

Kai may not be a genius in physical skills, but through hard work and perseverance, he has been able to use Gentle Fist techniques even under the Eight Gates.

The Raikage wanted to avoid a direct confrontation with Guy.

but……

How easy is it?

In his six-gate state, Kai's speed is comparable to his.

The Raikage could only clash with his opponent's fists again and again, but what annoyed him was that there was a layer of chakra attached to Guy's surface, which meant that at most half of his attacks could hit Guy.

And this half...

In fact, most of it was offset by Kai's muscles and bones.

This is the effect of the Chakra Armor!

Raikage's eyes narrowed, knowing he could no longer use conventional techniques.

The opponent was not an ordinary Jonin, but a taijutsu master who was comparable to him, or even stronger!

Chapter 253 Raikage: Chiba, you win.

The Raikage's hair stood on end.

Lightning Armor in its strongest form!

Chiba narrowed his eyes.

He sent Kai along so he could directly observe the numerous changes in the Raikage's physical functions at their strongest state.

It's a pity that Sharingan tools can't be used.

That's too obvious; the Raikage will probably just send me off.

but.

The perception is also similar.

Chiba observed the Raikage's condition and was secretly surprised.

In this state, the Raikage's speed is impossible to detect with the naked eye; his movements can only be clearly discerned through perception.

He sidestepped to avoid it.

Bang!

Boom!

No wonder the Raikage's fighting power is so amazing.

The lightning in his palm was as solid and terrifying as a blade.

After activating his strongest Lightning Release armor, the Raikage's speed was significantly greater than Guy's, and he landed hits on Guy much more frequently than before.

Was it blocked by the defense?

Then throw a few more punches!

He punched the air several times faster than before!

boom!

The waving fists and chakra bombarded the air, creating waves of air.

But the next second...

Physical Technique: Night Phoenix!

He used chakra to raise his defense to the limit, turned around and charged at Might Guy, making a chop motion with one hand and swinging it forward like a knife.

Tsunade roared.

Unfortunately, they were powerless to stop them.

His lightning armor was shattered, leaving a noticeable hole in his chest. If someone were to strike him now, the Raikage would surely die.

"Rescue!"

Chiba had no interest in this.

That's speed comparable to Minato Namikaze!

This ability has already reached its limit!

Lightning Release Chakra Mode combined with its ultimate state, along with the effects of the Lightning Release Armor, plus the Raikage's own powerful physique and chakra...

He supported Raikage, carefully sensing Raikage's internal condition.

A fiery red light shone in his vision, and his outstretched arms resembled a phoenix bursting forth from its body, spreading its wings and soaring.

His lightning chakra, muscles, and physical condition had all reached their limits.

Explosions and collisions echoed through the air.

She hadn't expected Kai and Raikage to fight to this extent, and Raikage showed no sign of stopping, turning a match into a life-or-death struggle.
