Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 89 Death Match!

The Third Raikage is injured!

Orochimaru's eyes lit up!

Boom boom boom!

The Third Raikage dodged and weaved, avoiding Genma's heavy punches.

A series of booming sounds exploded in everyone's ears. Most people could not see the movements of the two people who were fighting. They could only see one deep pit after another appearing on the ground and plumes of dust rising up.

"This speed is too fast. Even if the Sharingan with three tomoe can detect it, the body probably can't react in time."

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes followed the two figures closely, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead without him even realizing it.

He wasn't confident he could defeat either of these two opponents.

The two on the battlefield are not only clashing in terms of strength, but also in terms of psychology.

After being injured by a punch, the Third Raikage faced the elusive Genma. Even though he could use his Lightning Release armor to sense attacks, the latter's amazing reaction and powerful strength put him under immense pressure.

Moreover, the Third Raikage realized that if things continued this way, he would not be able to hit the Wind-Riding Horse at all, and would only be constantly worn down by the opponent finding a weakness and having his defenses breached.

Especially when one loses their sight and can only rely on the Lightning Release Armor to sense the opponent's attacks to dodge and counterattack, the margin for error is extremely low.

"In that case, let's have a competition to see who has the strongest shield!"

A plan gradually took shape in the mind of the Third Raikage.

Meanwhile, Genma was chasing after the Third Raikage, his mind also racing.

The Third Raikage was experienced in combat, reacted extremely quickly, and had amazing combat intuition. He also found a way to use the outer layer of his Lightning Release armor as a means of perception, which minimized the displacement advantage of his Substitution Jutsu.

However, Genma was also well aware that the Third Raikage was determined to kill him.

This is an opportunity that can be seized.

This is the same as dealing with the future Fourth Raikage, A.

However, the Third Raikage was clearly much more experienced than his son and could not be easily fooled.

If you don't want to kill the Third Raikage, then try using Wood Release.

If we can restrain the Third Raikage, then it might be possible to kill him.

But considering the Third Raikage's speed and the power of Hell Thrust, his current Wood Release strength probably wouldn't be able to restrain him.

Since that's the case—let's see whose defense is stronger!

A sharp glint flashed in Xuanma's eyes.

It was as if it were a tacit understanding from the heavens.

Or perhaps, when facing an evenly matched opponent, this seems to be the only way to kill them.

Genma and the Third Raikage both chose the same method.

So, when Genma once again dove to the left side of the Third Raikage to launch an attack.

As the Third Raikage twisted his body to the left, he raised his left hand, seemingly to block Genma's fist.

At the same time, the Third Raikage used his right hand to execute the One-Shot Punch, passing through from below while concealed by his left arm.

Genma's eyes darted around, capturing all of the Third Raikage's movements and discerning his purpose.

However, he did not change his offensive, as if he did not see the Third Raikage's right hand. His fist continued to punch forward, and in an instant, he condensed a huge amount of chakra that he could control to the limit.

puff!

The Third Raikage was tall with an extremely long arm span. His right hand pierced through Genma's Lightning Release armor first, then cut through his Chunin vest, and finally stabbed into Genma's chest.

Even a diamond-level hardness defense couldn't withstand the Third Raikage's Hell Thrust One-Hit Punch.

This sight caused Yamashiro Aoba's pupils to shrink sharply, and he almost instinctively shouted, "Genma!"

Hatake Sakumo was shocked, not expecting his disciple to choose a way to die together with him, and immediately drew his sword.

At that very moment, just as the Third Raikage's hand was about to continue cutting into Genma's body and completely pierce through it, Genma's fist slammed into the Third Raikage.

An incredibly powerful Sage Chakra erupted from his fist, shattering the Third Raikage's Lightning Release armor with overwhelming force.

Click!

The Third Raikage's left arm made a clear cracking sound under this force, with broken bones piercing through the flesh, blood, and even bone fragments spraying out.

The Third Raikage's left arm was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot under Genma's terrifying power, completely unable to withstand it. Then, Genma's fist crushed the Third Raikage's left arm and slammed into his chest.

boom!

The air exploded, and the Third Raikage's tall body flew backward, crashing into rings of air and shattering trees before he was sent flying deep into the forest.

After a moment of deathly silence, the Cloud Ninja cried out in alarm and could no longer hold back as they leaped out.

Some rushed towards Genma, while others rushed towards the Third Raikage who had been sent flying.

Hatake Sakumo reacted the fastest, appearing beside Genma in a few flashes and deflecting all the shuriken shot at him by the Cloud Ninja.

"Xuanma, are you alright?"

Sakumo Hatake asked.

Xuanma grinned, "No problem, it just hurts a little!"

Hatake Sakumo almost laughed in anger. Seeing several Cloud Ninjas rushing over, he didn't have time to reprimand them. He leaped up, and with a flash of his sword, two Cloud Ninja corpses fell to the ground, while another Cloud Ninja screamed and flew backward.

At that moment, Yamashiro Aoba arrived at Genma's side. Seeing the wound on Genma's chest near his heart, she couldn't help but swallow hard: "You—you won't die, will you?"

Orochimaru appeared immediately and said, "Send him to the medical ward right away. If he can't be treated, send him back to Konoha as quickly as possible. Tsunade, what about you—"

Before he could finish speaking, Orochimaru's pupils contracted, and his voice abruptly stopped.

Xuanma's chest wound healed rapidly, and the bleeding that had been gushing out stopped.

"This is—the First Generation's Unmarked Healing Technique!"

Orochimaru's heart trembled: "But why can't I sense Hashirama's cells?"

He had previously discovered that Genma Yufeng did not have Hashirama cells in his body, and even suspected that Genma Yufeng might have the bloodline of the Senju clan and had unexpectedly awakened Wood Release.

But surely it can't also awaken the unique healing power of the first generation?

Thinking about the Hashirama cells that Tsunade had taken from him, Orochimaru couldn't help but speculate: "Could it be that Tsunade has already mastered other methods to obtain Hashirama's abilities through Hashirama cells?"

"Retreat immediately!"

The Yunren shouted and left behind corpses as they quickly retreated.

"Lord Orochimaru, shall we give chase?"

"A Konoha Jonin shouted."

Orochimaru then came to his senses and ordered, "No need to chase!"

He then looked at Genma with burning eyes and a big smile on his face: "Hehe, Genma-kun, I really didn't expect that you not only inherited the First Hokage's Wood Release, but also his powerful self-healing ability."

To be honest, if Orochimaru hadn't been unable to sense any trace of Hashirama's cells, he would have almost thought that what was in front of him was a perfect clone of Hashirama.

But no matter what, such a body is too attractive; if only I could explore its secrets—

Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

Yamashiro Aoba was equally shocked. He knew that Yufeng Xuanma had strong medical abilities, and even Jingyin had admitted that she was inferior to him. He had also experienced Yufeng's treatment, which was indeed faster and more effective than Jingyin's.

But—this injury, his heart must have been hit, right?

At that moment, Hatake Sakumo returned and, seeing that his disciple's wounds had healed, breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: "You were being too reckless!"

Genma chuckled, then immediately changed the subject: "How's the Third Raikage doing?"

Hyuga Hizashi stepped forward: "Genma-kun, the Third Raikage is seriously injured. I saw that his left arm is broken, partially comminuted, and his chest is collapsed with a broken sternum that pierced his lung. His heart and other organs also appear to have been ruptured—only Lady Tsunade could probably handle such injuries—"

Before he could finish speaking, Hyuga Hizashi awkwardly shut up, as the monster in front of him seemed to have even more astonishing healing abilities.

Sarutobi Masan exclaimed excitedly, "Does that mean the Third Raikage is doomed!"

The numerous Konoha ninjas who had gathered around were in an uproar, and then their gazes toward Genma Yufeng became fervent, even fanatical.

too strong!

How could someone so old kill the Third Raikage?

This is even more powerful than the Third Hokage, isn't it?

After all, the Third Hokage is known as the strongest of all time, and the Third Raikage is also known as the strongest of all time. If someone can kill the Third Raikage, they should be able to kill the Third Hokage, right?

Well, although thinking like this is a bit outrageous, it's so exciting!

Genma, upon hearing Hyuga Hizashi's words, remarked, "The Raikage was quite lucky; the broken bone didn't pierce his heart."

Yamashiro Aoba asked, "Can someone with injuries like that really survive?"

Many Konoha ninja nodded in agreement.

Xuanma shook his head and said, "I don't know how good the Cloud Ninja are, but there is indeed some hope."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "But it's certain that the Third Raikage's left arm is ruined, and it's unlikely that he'll be able to fight again in the short term."

"The Cloud Ninja will likely retreat immediately and won't linger."

"If we pursue them now, we might be able to capture the Third Raikage. Of course, the Cloud Ninja will also protect the Raikage with their lives."

Seeing that Genma was unharmed, Orochimaru asked, "Genma-kun, are you still able to fight?"

Everyone else turned to look at Yu Feng Xuanma.

If this person were here, they could definitely kill the Third Raikage!

That's the Third Raikage!

Feeling the intense gazes around him, Genma nodded: "No problem."

Orochimaru immediately ordered, "In that case, the rest of you will be responsible for restraining the other Cloud Ninja, and Sakumo's team will take care of the Third Raikage!"

At a command, numerous Konoha ninja squads used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear and chase after the Cloud Ninja.

Many Konoha ninja rushed towards the Cloud Ninja to pursue them, while Sakumo's team fell behind.

After chasing for some distance, the Konoha ninja in front had already begun fighting the Cloud ninja who had stayed behind to cover their retreat.

"Teacher, Aoba!"

Xuanma stopped and raised his hands to form a hand seal to cast a transformation spell.

Soon, the three transformed into eagles and soared into the sky, giving chase from above.

The three of them first overtook the other Konoha ninja, and then quickly spotted a group of Cloud ninja left behind to cover the retreat on the ground.

After a moment, Xuanma shouted in a low voice, "Down there!"

The three swooped down and deactivated their transformation spells after entering the forest.

"They're Konoha ninjas!"

The Cloud Ninja protecting the Third Raikage cried out in alarm and then rushed forward.

"It's Konoha's Ranga and Sakumo! Quickly, take the Raikage and get out of here!"

A high-ranking ninja from Kumogakure was shocked when he saw who it was.

The medical ninja treating the Third Raikage's injuries was sweating profusely: "No, we must treat the chest wound first, otherwise the Raikage won't be able to hold on for much longer!"

He has already treated the broken bones. The next step is to stop the bleeding and restore the air pressure balance in the chest cavity, otherwise the patient will either go into shock from bleeding or suffocate to death.

"You retreat, I'll cover your retreat!"

The Third Raikage was not unconscious; he tried to prop himself up with his right hand.

Another medical ninja quickly pressed him down: "Lord Raikage, even if you're going to fight, you must take care of your injuries first. Otherwise, you simply won't be able to fight at a high intensity."

"Lord Takashi and the others can hold out for a while longer, please cooperate with us!"

The Third Raikage could only grit his teeth and say, "Damn it—then hurry up!"

He was well aware of Yufeng Xuanma's strength. Since he had caught up, it seemed that this person not only inherited the First Hokage's Wood Release, but also his self-healing ability.

Otherwise, even if the injury didn't pierce the heart, it would absolutely be unacceptable to pursue the enemy.

The fact that more than twenty Cloud Ninjas fought desperately to intercept them did indeed cause some trouble for Xuanma and his group.

Genma could certainly teleport to the Third Raikage's side repeatedly, but he couldn't ignore the safety of his teacher, Hatake Sakumo, and especially Yamashiro Aoba.

One by one, the Cloud Ninja fell, and seeing that only a few Cloud Ninja remained blocking his way, Genma immediately used the Substitution Technique to charge forward.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Xuanma sensed danger and immediately retreated.

Boom!

The ground exploded, and amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a tall figure appeared.

艾？

Genma's eyelids twitched slightly, and he turned his head to see Killer Bee transforming into the Eight-Tails at the Third Raikage's location, with a Tailed Beast Ball rapidly condensing.

"Don't even think about interfering!"

Ai shouted and charged towards Yufeng Xuanma in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, fresh blood seeping from the bandages on his chest.

"It's too late~"

Genma immediately dodged and retreated to his teacher, Hatake Sakumo's, side: "Teacher, retreat!"

Grabbing Hatake Sakumo's arm, Genma teleported with him to Yamashiro Aoba's location.

At that moment, the Tailed Beast Ball shot out from the mouth of the Eight-Tails.

Genma immediately shifted into the air, while the Tailed Beast Ball below, after whistling past the spot where the three of them had been standing, collided with a large tree and then expanded, releasing powerful energy.

Rumble!

The sphere of light expanded, engulfing all vegetation in all directions.

Genma carried Sakumo Hatake and Aoba Yamashiro to a height of over 200 meters in one breath before they managed to avoid the power of the Tailed Beast Ball.

Further away, Orochimaru, who had crossed the Cloud Ninja's rearguard, stopped with a dozen or so Konoha ninja. They looked up at the bursting light, and their expressions changed drastically.

Hyuga Hizashi shouted, "It's the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Sarutobi Masan quickly asked, "They must be fighting Genma and the others. How is the situation?"

Hyuga Hizashi was searching when he suddenly looked up: "In the air!"

Sarutobi Shinzan and the others looked up, but they couldn't see anything because of the tall trees all around them.

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed and said, "It seems unlikely that we can defeat the Third Raikage in one go."

"Let's go and meet up with Genma-kun and the others."

The group set off again.
