Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Sakumo vs Third Raikage
(T/N: Please consider reviewing this Fanfic, Thanks and appreciate all who support me)
(T/N: Enjoy!!)
<><><><><><>
The Third Raikage heard Sakumo's words and couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, since you're so confident, let's have a little match. I'll use my blade, and we can have a good exchange."
The Third Raikage wasn't angered. It had been years since anyone dared to challenge him.
Hearing Sakumo, a seemingly unknown strong individual, speak this way excited him.
He just hoped that Sakumo wouldn't be defeated too quickly. As for whether he would win or lose, the Third Raikage didn't even consider it.
This is the confidence of a true powerhouse! After receiving the Third Raikage's order, Killer Bee immediately pulled out two swords from behind and threw them to Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo caught one of the swords and returned the other to Killer Bee, saying, "One is enough."
Seeing Sakumo's confidence, Asahi gave up on the idea of personally joining the fight.
"Alright, Byakko, I'll leave it to you. Be careful, don't get hurt," Asahi instructed.
"Yes, My Lord" Sakumo responded.
"Haha, good. Follow me, and let's go to a more spacious place for our match," the Third Raikage said, gesturing for them to follow.
Asahi and his group naturally didn't refuse. Following the Third Raikage, they arrived at a canyon.
The open surroundings were sufficient for the Third Raikage and Sakumo to unleash their techniques. As time passed, the auras of the two reached the Kage Level.
Killer Bee's swords were indeed impressive. With chakra-conductive metal embedded in the blades, they allowed Sakumo to nearly perfect his abilities.
Hatake Sakumo held the sword with one hand, a habit he had developed over the years.
He looked at the Third Raikage with a serious expression, and the sword occasionally sparkled with lightning.
The Third Raikage directly activated the Lightning Release Armor, and the crackling lightning around him sounded like a continuous burst of thunder.
Without much probing, the two disappeared in an instant.
*Boom*
*Clang!*
The next moment, with a light sound, Sakumo's sword heavily struck the Third Raikage's fist.
Both were users of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and the collision of their attacks instantly generated a large amount of lightning current.
The tremendous impact made both of them step back.
For Asahi, this evenly matched situation wasn't surprising. If Sakumo could go toe-to-toe with the Third Raikage, it didn't seem like a problem.
However, the people from the Hidden Cloud Village were no longer calm.
They hadn't expected this subordinate, who held a lower position, to have the strength to go head-to-head with the Raikage.
"Haha, good, let's continue."
The Third Raikage, who was facing Sakumo in the field, didn't feel shocked.
Having an opponent with equal strength who could go head-to-head was indeed a rare and fortunate occurrence.
With that, the Third Raikage once again charged towards Sakumo.
"Hell Step: Four-Finger Nukite!"
"That person is so strong! The Raikage is already using his ultimate move so quickly!"
The Hidden Cloud Village Jonin who had noticed Asahi's group from the sidelines couldn't help but exclaim.
"Ultimate move? This is just the beginning; my ultimate move is not that simple."
Ai chuckled and commented.
Amid the battle, Sakumo, facing the Third Raikage's assault, remained composed.
The blade in his hand emitted a radiant lightning glow as Sakumo, with an air of invincibility, slashed toward the Third Raikage.
The collision between the blade and the hand sounded like two pieces of iron clashing, creating a resounding impact.
However, this time, neither of them paused. Instead, they used the momentum to counterattack and clashed again mid-air.
Boom! Clang! Clang! Boom!~
The continuous sounds of collision resonated. As the echoes subsided and the smoke caused by the impacts cleared, the two figures finally revealed themselves.
Neither of them showed any injuries, appearing evenly matched.
"Haha, good, it's been a long time since I had such an enjoyable fight. Now, I'll use my strongest strike. It's with this move that I earned the title of the Strongest Spear."
Saying this, the Third Raikage's aura instantly condensed.
Intense chakra fluctuations had a profound impact on the surrounding environment.
Seeing this, Sakumo also remained vigilant. Chakra surged within him, and a significant amount of lightning chakra gathered on the blade.
This strike was also his most potent move.
"Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite!"
"Ogami Kenjutsu: White Tiger!"
(T/N: Sakumo change it due to his identity)
Boom!!
With the attacks from both, a violent lightning glow erupted, blinding everyone present.
As the intense lightning dissipated and the impact sounds gradually faded, people directed their gaze toward the center of the battlefield, eager to see what had transpired.
There, Sakumo was seen half-kneeling on the ground. The ninja sword in his hand had broken during the collision.
Similarly, the Third Raikage was in a similar posture not far away, and there was a massive crater created by the residual force of the Hell Stab.
All of this indicated that in the recent clash, the victor should be the Third Raikage.
"I lost!"
Just as the people of the Hidden Cloud Village were about to cheer and celebrate, the Third Raikage slowly spoke up.
A smile couldn't help but appear on Asahi's face; indeed, Sakumo did not disappoint him.
It was more accurate to say that the Third Raikage lost due to his arrogance rather than Sakumo winning.
Strictly speaking, the previous battle was, at most, a draw. Hidden Cloud Village Ninja now looked at the Third Raikage in disbelief.
Their voices seemed to be choked, not knowing what to say. As Sakumo and the Third Raikage slowly stood up in the middle of the field, they finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that the arm the Third Raikage had inserted into the ground using Hell Stab was now marked with a long but not severe wound caused by Sakumo
For the Third Raikage, this was naturally not considered a significant injury. It wasn't even a minor one. He could restore it to its original state at any time if he wished.
However, he chose not to. Furthermore, he used chakra to suppress the healing of his own wound. He wanted to remember this lesson, remember Sakumo, the person who had broken through his defense head-on.
"Lord Raikage, you are too humble. It's not considered my win; let's call it a draw."
Sakumo shook his head. He was telling the truth; he indeed did not win. However, the Third Raikage's character naturally wasn't that of someone unwilling to accept defeat.
As he mentioned before, as long as he injured himself, it would be considered a win. And just now, Sakumo didn't just injure him; he did so in a direct confrontation against the Third Raikage's strongest attack.
