Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"Damn Kirigakure bastards!"

The leader of the Cloud Village side revealed a fearless smile, facing the Mist Village forces that were capable of annihilating them.

There are no cowards among the people of Kumogakure!

The Hidden Mist Village was furious. This was supposed to be a perfect plan: annihilate the forces here, then launch an attack on the weakened Hidden Cloud Village. If that were the case, the Hidden Cloud Village would be almost certain to win, since this was a surprise attack, and the Hidden Cloud Village was not only battered but also unprepared.

The aftermath of war is when people are most relaxed, and Kirigakure was just trying to take advantage of that. Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by a single lightning release ninjutsu.

"you!"

The people from Kirigakure got angry and started fighting without saying a word!

They're going to eliminate all those who sabotage their plans!

"Hahahahaha!"

Death was looming close, but Yunyin laughed heartily. They had done everything they could and made a great contribution to Yunyin, and that was enough!

"Come!"

They laughed wildly, about to make their final gamble; they laughed wildly, about to throw their final punch.

pang!

A massive bolt of lightning struck diagonally, sending many people flying.

The electric current kept creeping, and smoke and dust filled the air.

"Who gave you permission to harm my people from Kumogakure!"

A figure emerged from the smoke and dust, his eyes crackling with lightning, his body wreathed in thunder. Despite his injuries, he still possessed an aura of dominance, stunning his enemies so much that they didn't move an inch.

"Lord Raikage——"

The people of Kumogakure couldn't believe it—

Chapter 232: The Third Raikage

The place fell silent instantly, as did the air; no one would have expected such an uninvited guest.

He arrived so unexpectedly, like a thunderbolt from the sky, falling just in time.

It was truly as if a god had descended to earth, leaving people in awe.

"The Third Raikage—"

The people from the Hidden Mist side narrowed their eyes and then burst into laughter.

"The Third Raikage?"

"What can you possibly do looking like that?"

"Want to die first? Then we'll grant your wish."

It has to be said that the Third Raikage's physical condition is very bad. He went into battle before his injuries had fully healed, and now it's even more serious. With thousands of Kirigakure troops surrounding him, even if the Third Raikage were a humanoid tailed beast, he would still be exhausted to death. What's more, the Third Raikage is only half as strong as he was when he was in good condition.

"you!"

The people of Kumogakure naturally wouldn't let the Third Raikage get away with this so easily. For them, the Raikage was their idol, and each Raikage was the strongest person in Kumogakure. Moreover, Kumogakure has always admired the strong.

The people of Kumogakure all wanted to rush up and fight Kirigakure to the death, but they were stopped by the Third Raikage.

Most of the Iwagakure members who had been chased here escaped, but many were still trapped here. All of these people were dealt with by Kirigakure right in front of the Kumogakure members.

The blood slowly flowed over, accompanied by screams and shouts of killing. Wuyin was making an example of someone to intimidate others.

The Third Raikage remained silent. The current situation was truly unfavorable, a predicament within a predicament. He had already made arrangements for the people behind him, but the troops here also constituted a significant force, and they could not be sacrificed in vain.

He glanced at the Hidden Mist ninjas around him, who were waiting for their chance to strike, and silently made up his mind.

"I'll fight my way out in a bit, and you can use that time to retreat."

The Third Raikage was enveloped in electricity, which climbed from the ground up to the leader and carried his words with it.

The leader was naturally unwilling, his eyes fixed on the Third Raikage, but the Third Raikage's clenched fist and the words that followed made him grit his teeth.

"This is an order."

These four simple words reveal the Third Raikage's determination at this moment.

"How about that? We have tens of thousands of people here. Look at Iwagakure, that's what will happen to you. You're just a tiger about to die. A tiger like that has no deterrent power whatsoever!"

"is it?"

The movements of the Hidden Stone Village ceased; they had been completely wiped out.

The Third Raikage revealed a maniacal smile, still as warlike and fearless as ever, but now with a touch of resolve.

Just like before he became the Raikage, he wasn't this powerful back then.

"Lightning Release".

The Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode reached its maximum power.

"Thunder God Strike".

All the lightning bolts gathered at the fist, and so did all the lightning bolts that wrapped around the body.

The Third Raikage was panting. Most of his techniques relied heavily on physical strength, and in his current physical condition, he was finding it difficult to keep up.

"Defense! Defense!"

The Hidden Mist Village in front of them began to move. The Third Raikage was practically risking his life with this kind of attack, and even so many Hidden Mist Village members couldn't help but panic.

The Third Raikage intended for them to look like that; they thought he was going to attack them, but they were completely wrong.

"Everyone, get ready!"

The leader behind the Third Raikage let out a loud shout, filled with intense resentment, his eyes even turning red. He understood the Third Raikage's plan, and that was precisely why he was unwilling to accept it.

The Hidden Cloud Village doesn't have the resources to support the Third Raikage right now, and the Third Raikage is already burning his life force.

"what!!!"

Just like when he was a child, the Third Raikage would roar and swing his fist like that, as if that gave him unlimited power, as if that would allow him to knock down everything in front of him with one punch.

A torrent of thunder crashed down, and the Third Raikage turned and threw a punch directly behind him. At this moment, the Cloud Village had already dodged, having received the Third Raikage's message.

boom!

Rumble!

Can you imagine a lightning bolt that is nearly 100 meters long, 10 meters high, and more than 5 meters wide striking out?

And that's exactly what happened. The enormous bolt of lightning pierced through everything in front of them, and even the sky turned gray and black. The lightning seemed to have pierced through the sky, and the whole sky was pressing down.

"retreat!"

Tears welled in their eyes, but they didn't let them fall. Everyone with red eyes began to retreat at an extremely fast pace.

"Go."

The Third Raikage, a rough man throughout his life, was now exhausted and revealed a rare tenderness in his tough exterior.

"That guy! Everyone, charge at him! Don't let them get away!"

This happened very suddenly; no one expected it. The Hidden Mist Village reacted swiftly, sending thousands of soldiers. A bloody path had been carved through the encirclement, and that opening became the Hidden Cloud Village's escape route.

"Sorry, this is not the private road of the Hidden Cloud Village!"

The Third Raikage straightened up, even though he was now exhausted.

Do you know?

The Third Raikage stood there alone, facing tens of thousands of people, his body upright, talking to himself.

"Chakra is the power extracted from the cells in the body, and it also has its own spiritual power."

The massive procession of ten thousand men surged forward like a flood.

"That."

"If all the cells were allowed to explode, how much power would a person gain?"

The Third Raikage raised his head and smiled; this was his final act of madness.

"Feel the power of life, you bastards from Kirigakure!"

An immense power erupted, like a storm, blowing everything around it away.

The Third Raikage may not be the strongest Raikage, but he did comprehend this kind of power.

With lightning crackling around his body and lightning constantly striking down from the sky, the Third Raikage was now truly possessed by the God of Thunder!

My hair is slowly turning white from the roots; the process is slow, very slow.

The Third Raikage roared, knowing there was no turning back! He simply charged into the army of ten thousand!

The thunder here is deafening, the thunder is constantly falling, the thunder is constantly roaring.

------

Jiraiya led his team to the border of Kumogakure. The main force of Konoha was guarding Konoha, and he led his team here to provide support. Minato and he had already guessed that Kirigakure would make a move, and at the same time, they could not leave Konoha undefended, otherwise Kirigakure might take advantage of the situation to invade again.

The area has been flattened, and the ground beneath our feet is now black soil.

Jiraiya and the others remained silent, not uttering a single word; the air was thick with a sense of tragic grandeur.

They continued walking forward, everyone with somber expressions.

Konoha arrived too late; Kirigakure acted too quickly.

The Hidden Cloud Sect was almost destroyed, but the hero intervened in time.

Jiraiya and the others walked to the center of the flat ground. Everyone saluted in front of them, the surrounding trees having turned to ashes. Before them stood a thin figure.

He had become a skeleton, but still stood tall, surrounded by the fading lightning—

The Third Raikage lived up to his name and became a hero of Kumogakure.

Chapter 233: The Mist's Assault

The battle is over. Both Iwagakure and Kumogakure are badly injured, and even Kirigakure did not gain any advantage. The Third Raikage, who burned his own life, gave Kumogakure a temporary respite.

Jiraiya's Konoha troops didn't arrive in time; Kirigakure's actions were simply too swift.

At this time, Jiraiya and the others also lingered for a while in this black soil where the Third Raikage had sacrificed himself.
