With a loud "whoosh," the staff trembled violently, and the person was thrown backward like a kite with a broken string.

Hiruzen Sarutobi planted his staff in the ground mid-air, which stopped his body from flying backward.

But the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth showed that he was not in good condition.

"Konoha's genius? Nothing special." The burly man sneered, lightning chakra forming a layer of armor on his body. "Before my lightning armor, your attacks are like tickling."

This lightning armor is a B-rank ninjutsu he developed, its full name is "Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Armor".

By wrapping powerful electric current around the body for both attack and defense, the caster in Thunder Armor state possesses extremely fast movement speed and formidable damage immunity.

With his Thunder Armor, he could practically roam freely on the battlefield.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha were back to back, already at their last gasp.

The Konoha ninjas around them were too busy to help them, and no one could come to their aid.

"Hiruzen, are you alright?" An eye appeared on the Vajra staff in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand, looking at Hiruzen with concern.

This is not just a simple stick, but the family heirloom of the Sarutobi clan—the Monkey King Enma.

"If all else fails, I'll cover your retreat and buy you time to escape," the ape demon said in a deep voice.

"Enma, what are you saying?" Hiruzen Sarutobi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I would never abandon you!"

"I see... I understand." The ape demon didn't say anything more.

……

"Zizzi-"

A burly man clad in lightning armor approached. "The reminiscing is over. It's time to get going."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha had solemn expressions, ready for a desperate fight.

Just as the burly man was about to finish off the two men, three figures suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

P.S.: Thank you to [Kunyuhan] for the extra update and to all the other authors for their gifts and contributions.

There are still eight chapters to go, sob sob.

Chapter 148 Thunder Armor's Flaw

"Wind Release·Vacuum Wave!"

The high-pressure airflow attacked from the side, forcing the burly man to take a half step back.

He narrowed his eyes and sneered, "A few more people coming to their deaths?"

"To die?" Lian Ye slowly drew her katana, her three-tomoe Sharingan locking onto the burly man. "I don't think so."

The burly man's lightning chakra armor made him recognize the man's identity at a glance.

The future second Raikage...

Facing such an opponent, we naturally wouldn't underestimate them.

"Renya, Danzo, Koharu!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed, not expecting the three of them to come to the rescue at this critical moment.

"Xiaochun, go check on Yan's injuries quickly," Uchiha Kagami reminded him.

Even at this point, Kagami is still worried about Mitokado Homura's injuries, which shows that he is indeed an Uchiha who cares about his comrades.

Upon hearing this, Xiaochun, who was turning the dormitory, saw a figure lying on the ground in the distance. She flashed to Yan's side and quickly checked his injuries.

"Internal organs are damaged, but can still be saved." She immediately used medical ninjutsu to treat him.

"You bunch of guys are really underestimating me." The burly man looked at the group of people who seemed to be ignoring him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Being ignored like that is really unpleasant.

Especially for someone with a bad temper like him.

When did a group of dying people dare to ignore him?!

Thinking of this, the burly man took the initiative to attack, his lightning chakra suddenly erupting, his speed increasing to the extreme, and he punched Lian Ye.

"Lightning Release: Righteous Lightning Sinking Wrath Thunder Axe!"

"Renya, be careful!" Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha could only shout a warning because they were too far away to provide support in time.

They had fought the strong man before and were well aware of his strength.

If you don't dodge in time, you will definitely be seriously injured!

Mitokayaki is a good example...

The burly man's attack speed was extremely fast. Lian Ye's three-tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, barely managing to see the opponent's attack trajectory before dodging to the side at the last second.

He swung his katana at the burly man's arm.

As long as you can leave a wound on it, the battle can be easily ended!

This was also his first time facing a ninja using lightning armor, and he didn't know if ordinary attacks could break through the opponent's defense.

Under Lianye's expectant gaze, the katana landed on the burly man's wrist.

"clang!"

Sparks flew as the blade clashed with the lightning armor!

This strike didn't even leave a wound on the burly man's hand, nor did it break through Lei Kai's defenses.

Upon seeing this, Lian Ye's pupils suddenly contracted, and the shock on her face vanished in an instant.

It seems he underestimated Lei Kai's defensive capabilities.

There's a reason why the Thunder Armor is called the "strongest Thunder Armor".

Of course, it's impossible to break through the defenses so easily.

"I told you, it's no use!" The burly man grinned and delivered a backhand elbow strike.

The attack was so fast that he didn't have time to dodge and could only hold the blade horizontally in front of him.

The Sharingan detected the attack, but the body couldn't react in time.

Lian Ye was blasted back several meters, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained cold.

Given the strength the burly man displayed, it was clearly unrealistic for him to win.

But he had no intention of giving up, because he was not fighting alone.

Just then, Shimura Danzo completed the hand seals: "Wind Release: Vacuum Waves!"

Dozens of high-pressure wind blades slashed in from all directions, forcing the burly man to stop his attack, and the lightning armor attached to his body took all the attacks head-on.

Although he couldn't break through the defenses, the wind blade attacks hindered his movements.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lian Ye distanced herself from the burly man, suddenly throwing out three shuriken while simultaneously forming a hand seal.

"Fire Release: Impatiens Flower Claws Red!"

Flames enveloped the shuriken, which shot towards the burly man from different angles.

Facing the shuriken flying towards him, the burly man disdainfully waved his hand to block, but unexpectedly the shuriken suddenly changed its trajectory, bypassed his defense, and went straight for his eyes.

"A mere trick!" He abruptly closed his eyes, his lightning armor covering even his eyelids.

However, the strong man's actions were exactly what Lian Ye wanted.

"mirror!"

Uchiha Kagami, who had been waiting for an opportunity, suddenly sprang into action, his three-tomoe Sharingan emitting an eerie red light.

This is precisely the Sharingan's genjutsu.

The purpose of having Uchiha Kagami use genjutsu was to catch him off guard.

The burly man's target had always been Lian Ye, and he hadn't expected Uchiha Kagami to rush out and use genjutsu.

His gaze met the Sharingan on camera, and his movements froze instantly.

Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough.

"clang!"

Lian Ye's katana struck the burly man's neck, but a burst of dazzling sparks erupted.

"Useless." The burly man grinned, his body crackling with electricity. "My Lightning Release Armor can even seal off your pores."

"So eager to break through the lightning armor, let me guess..." The burly man looked at the katana at his neck, "You've smeared poison on the blade, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Lian Ye's face remained expressionless.

"Did I guess wrong?" The burly man looked puzzled, then shook his head. "It doesn't matter."

As he spoke, he threw a punch with his backhand, and the air suddenly exploded.

Lian Ye hurriedly used her knife to block the attack, but was blasted dozens of meters away, leaving a deep trench in the ground.

At this moment, he finally understood how Onoki felt when facing the Third Raikage in the original work.

This kind of "physical sainthood" guy is truly despair-inducing!

Even though my attack power is maxed out, the opponent's health and defense are too strong, so my attacks feel like scratching a gua sha (a traditional Chinese medicine term for minor injuries).

No wonder Onoki had to rely on sheer numbers to whittle down the enemy's health; he simply couldn't win in a normal fight.

Although the burly man in front of them wasn't as physically strong as the future Third Raikage, he wouldn't be much weaker...

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood in front of Renya, coughing up blood and forcing a bitter smile: "This guy's attack and defense are truly terrifying."

This guy has such high attack power and strong defense, he's practically a monster!

"Does this Lightning Release Armor really have a flaw?" Uchiha Kagami murmured softly, a look of despair on his face.

If they can't find a solution, they'll be done for today.

“Yes.” Lian Ye wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and explained, “His lightning armor cannot last indefinitely; there will be a period of downtime.”

Upon hearing Lian Ye's words, the burly man looked shocked and couldn't help but praise, "You're quite observant."

The lightning armor he invented is still being improved. As Lian Ye said, the lightning armor's defense sometimes disappears temporarily.

This is due to a lack of familiarity with the technique...

"But so what if you know?" the burly man said with disdain.

He didn't believe the group could seize the opportunity and harm him.

"Konoha's geniuses, you can set off now!" The burly man's lightning chakra erupted, and arcs of electricity crackled around him.

Lian Ye stared intently at the thunder armor on the burly man's body, and sure enough, she discovered that the thunder armor had disappeared in a certain instant!

Chapter 149 The Angry Strongman

"Die!" The strong man's Layton Chakra surged, and he pushed off the ground with both legs, attacking at an extremely fast speed.

Regardless, those who discovered Lei Kai's secret must die!

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!"

The high-pressure gas bomb struck the strong man's chest but caused no damage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi formed hand seals, unleashing the "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire!"

The fire dragon roared towards the burly man, but this time, instead of taking the scorching flames head-on, the man dodged the fire dragon by sidestepping.

Although Lei Kai has strong defense, he can't just stand there and take a beating.

Taking advantage of the moment the burly man dodged, Lian Ye flashed in front of him, her blade aimed straight at his right eye.

"Naive." The burly man reached out and grabbed the blade, his hand surging with lightning chakra, as if he wanted to break the blade in two.

The hand gripping the knife tightened suddenly, but the blade only bent slightly and did not break.

He stared at the knife Lian Ye was holding with some surprise; it seemed to be a fine knife...

It's a real shame to damage it like this; it would be better to snatch it and give it to a friend who needs it.

Thinking of this, the burly man abandoned his idea of ​​damaging the katana, suddenly let go of it, and threw a punch at Lian Ye's face.

Lianye raised her head and used her Sharingan's genjutsu. The burly man was caught off guard and fell into the genjutsu, causing his attack to pause.
