I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Even though the Third Raikage's chakra was comparable to that of a tailed beast, he did not have the same regenerative abilities as a tailed beast.

Now, the Third Raikage's chakra is nearing its limit, and once he loses the boost from chakra, his physique alone is clearly insufficient to stop the Iwa ninja army.

This is actually the ending of the original story of the Third Raikage, who ultimately died from exhaustion after being surrounded and attacked by tens of thousands of Iwa ninja.

Chapter 93 Bestowing Favors and Forming Alliances

"It's almost done!"

Naraku, who was keeping a close eye on the battle, realized that the Third Raikage was already at his limit. He stretched his body and then calmly strode forward.

Lightning Release: Lightning Body!

Naraku did not enter the battlefield using the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique, but instead chose to charge in head-on.

To form an alliance with a force like the Hidden Cloud Village, it's not enough to rely solely on the debt of saving a life; a demonstration of military strength is also required.

The moment lightning crackled around his body, Naraku's speed instantly surged to an unimaginable level, surpassing even the Third Raikage at his peak.

thunderbolt!!!

It was like lightning flashing by.

Naraku, who was some distance away, suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the battlefield.

Bang bang bang~~~~

A crazy collision occurred.

The Iwa ninja on the outskirts of the battlefield didn't even have a chance to react before they were torn to pieces.

With terrifying speed and defense, Naraku didn't even need to launch any attacks; the sheer force of his body alone was enough to create horrific destruction, smashing the Iwa ninja in his path into pieces.

Charge!

Naraku, transformed into lightning, swept through the battlefield, leaving behind a trail of mangled flesh, until he reached the Third Raikage.

"who?!"

"Could it be reinforcements from Kumogakure?"

"No, this person is the Silver Flash, Naraku!!"

"."

The sudden turn of events prompted the Iwa ninja to rush to find the culprit, until they saw Naraku stop after arriving at the location of the Third Raikage.

When Naraku revealed his true form, both the Iwa ninja and the Third Raikage were quite astonished.

Especially the Iwa ninja.

At first, they thought Naraku was reinforcements from Kumogakure, but soon, some of them recognized Naraku and let out a piercing scream in terror.

It's clear that the screaming Iwa ninja is a surviving member of the original three thousand Iwa ninja.

In that battle, Naraku undoubtedly inflicted a psychological scar on the surviving Iwa ninja that they could never erase for the rest of their lives.

Even the so-called 'Silver Flash' was first coined by these people.

It's as if they wanted to use their reputation to prove that their defeat in battle was not due to their own weakness, but rather to the overwhelming strength of the enemy.

In the ninja world, anyone with a reputation is not weak.

"This guy is..." While the Iwa ninja were shocked by Naraku, the Third Raikage also looked at Naraku with surprise and doubt.

Before he could ponder why Naraku was there, the attack that came immediately brought him back to his senses.

"Dust Escape·The Art of Original Realm Peeling!"

A circular, transparent beam of light shot from the sky like an energy cannon towards the Third Raikage, forcing him to react quickly and dodge.

boom! ! !

The cylindrical object slammed into the ground, instantly creating a circular hole.

And this was not the end. After the circular beam of light pierced the ground, it did not dissipate. Instead, it sliced ​​through the ground like a sharp sword and instantly struck the nearby Naraku.

brush!

A circular beam of light swept across the earth, easily tearing a massive, chasm-like crack in the ground.

Look towards the origin of the circular cylinder.

It can be seen that it comes from a figure floating in the air.

With a bulbous nose and a short stature, this figure was none other than Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure.

In order to ensure the annihilation of the Third Raikage, the person leading tens of thousands of Iwa ninja was none other than Onoki himself.

The circular beam of light that attacked the Third Raikage and Naraku was Dust Release used by Onoki.

Dust Release is a higher-level Kekkei Tota than Kekkei Genkai. It is formed by the fusion of three chakra nature transformations and is so powerful that even Susanoo would have to avoid its edge.

"Earth Release·Earth Spear!"

Dust Release tore the earth apart, displaying terrifying power, but Onoki felt no pride, only vigilance.

This was because he had a keen sense of perception during the attack, and not only did the Third Raikage dodge the Dust Release, but Naraku, who was attacked by him afterward, also disappeared from the spot just as the Dust Release was about to make contact.

Ōnoki was naturally familiar with Naraku.

Similarly, based on the information provided by those who had fled back from their defeat, he knew that Naraku was very likely to possess a space-time ninjutsu that allowed him to teleport instantly.

Almost instinctively, Onoki immediately became alert and looked around.

As it turned out, Onoki's vigilance saved him.

When he looked around cautiously, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly flew forward, even using Earth Release chakra to strengthen his body's defense.

puff! !

The lightning-wrapped hand blade sliced ​​across Onoki's back with its fingertips. The terrifying sharpness tore a bloody gash in Onoki's back, even though he had strengthened his defense with Earth Release chakra.

"So vigilant?"

The owner of the hand chop was Naraku.

He was quite surprised to see Onoki nimbly avoid his "heart-to-heart talk".

It seems that even speaking from the heart isn't invincible.

Forget it.

Anyway, his goal in coming here this time wasn't to kill Onoki.

His "heartfelt words" were merely a habitual retaliation after being attacked.

Since he couldn't defeat Onoki in one go, Naraku didn't continue fighting him. Instead, he immediately used "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" again.

brush!

In the blink of an eye, Naraku appeared beside the Third Raikage, who had dodged Dust Release and was some distance away.

Bang! !

The sharp hand chop was steadily blocked by Naraku's right hand.

"Your reaction is too extreme, Third Raikage. I'm here to save you." The hand chop came from the Third Raikage.

Naraku casually blocked the opponent's attack, looking at the Third Raikage with a smile.

"Save me?" The Third Raikage's eyes narrowed as he looked at Naraku with a mixture of surprise and doubt.

He was shocked that his hand strike was blocked so easily by the other party, and puzzled that he did not understand why the other party said that he came to save him.

"We'll talk about it later!"

Sensing the attack from behind, Naraku didn't rush to explain. Instead, he grabbed the opponent's arm and immediately activated "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" again.

boom!

A beam of dust blasted through the air, shattering the ground where Naraku and the Third Raikage had been standing, creating a large hole.

"Damn, where are the people?"

Dispersing his dust-escape technique, Onoki, floating in the air, glared in all directions, trying to find traces of Naraku and the Third Raikage.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he searched, he found nothing.

While Onoki was searching for himself, Naraku had already used the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique to quickly leave the battlefield with the Third Raikage.

He only stopped when he reached a grove of trees far from the battlefield.

"Now you can tell me, right? Why did you come to save me, Naraku, the leader of Hoshigakure!"

When he stopped, the Third Raikage freed himself from Naraku's arm. He subtly observed his surroundings, and when he found that there was no one else around, he stared at Naraku and said in a deep voice.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a village icon.

Although the Third Raikage had a rugged appearance, he was not lacking in sensitivity.

Even though he was shocked by the way Naraku took him away, he quickly adjusted his mindset and got straight to the point.

At the same time, he clearly recognized Naraku's identity from the way the Third Raikage addressed him.

However, this is not surprising, after all, Naraku is now a top figure with a great reputation in the ninja world.
