**"Clang!"**
**"Squelch!"**
The Kusanagi sword was drawn and came into Raijin's hand. The next moment, the sound of the blade piercing flesh was heard.
The Kusanagi sword pinned the Third Raikage's relatively free arm to the ground.
Seeing this, the Kumogakure elites instinctively wanted to act, but a glance from Raijin quelled their impulse.
Raikage-sama was still in that guy's hands.
"Move?"
Only then did Raijin lower his head and softly ask the Raikage, who was gritting his teeth to suppress any sound.
"Go!"
The Third Raikage looked at the elites he had brought with him not far ahead.
He knew he wouldn't survive. Uchiha Raijin wouldn't let him go.
But now, the elites he brought still had a chance to leave before the main forces of Uchiha and Senju arrived.
"Heh..."
Raijin chuckled and looked at the hesitant Kumogakure ninjas ahead.
He tightened his grip on the Kusanagi sword.
"Ah..."
The Kusanagi sword was slowly pulled out, and the Third Raikage couldn't help but groan softly.
Holding the hilt with both hands, the sword tip shifted and slowly stopped at the back of the Third Raikage's neck.
"Three Tomoe... useful, isn't it?"
As the words fell, the Kusanagi Sword in Raijin's hand slowly pressed down.
The tip of the sword gradually pierced through the purple lightning and entered the body of the Third Raikage, causing his body to stiffen uncontrollably.
However, the paralysis brought by the lightning covering his entire body left the Third Raikage unable to do anything for the moment.
Even at this time, the Third Raikage had to admit that this Uchiha's control over lightning was incredibly high.
"It seems that compared to the Sharingan, the position of the Kage isn't very high in your hearts."
With a slight smile on his lips, Raijin looked up at Fukai and Ai in the Kumogakure team.
Fukai and A exchanged glances and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.
The value of the Sharingan no longer mattered.
Both Fukai and A were very clear about one thing.
As the younger brother of Uchiha Suisei, Uchiha Raijin was here for revenge.
So, whether or not they handed over the Sharingan, Raijin wouldn't spare anyone here.
But watching the Raikage die in front of them...
"Raijin-kun, I think there's something you might be interested in."
After much hesitation, Fukai spoke softly to Raijin.
Raijin didn't speak, just looked at Fukai with a half-smile, but his hand stopped moving.
"Uchiha Suisei isn't dead."
As Fukai's words fell, Raijin's pupils contracted sharply.
He didn't know what he felt, but it was probably a sense of relief.
But along with it came endless doubt.
"Prove it to me."
Raijin said softly, looking at Fukai.
"Fukai! What are you doing?! Go!"
At this moment, the Raikage took a deep breath, briefly overcoming the paralysis of the lightning, and shouted at Fukai.
If they continued to waste time like this, the consequences would be unimaginable!
As the Raikage's words fell, Fukai instinctively closed his mouth.
"Seriously..."
Seeing this, Raijin closed his eyes in frustration and let out a deep breath.
"Ah!!!"
The next moment, the purple lightning enveloping the Third Raikage flared up, accompanied by his heart-wrenching screams.
"Raijin! Calm down! Calm down!"
A shouted at Raijin, who turned to look at Ai
"Do you know how annoying it is to be interrupted halfway through a conversation?"
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, Hanzo the Salamander moved.
Hanzo's thoughts were simple. The purpose of coming to the Land of Hot Water had been achieved.
Even if Konohagakure wanted revenge, they would have to deal with Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure first before they had time to trouble Amegakure.
And whether Konohagakure could win against the combined forces of the four great hidden villages was still unknown.
During this process, Amegakure would have plenty of opportunities to benefit from the battlefield.
Only when the strength of the five great nations was sufficiently weakened would Amegakure have a chance to rise.
As for the Raikage's life or death, what did it have to do with Amegakure?
Hanzo the Salamander was indeed very fast. The title of "Demi-God of the Ninja World" might be somewhat exaggerated, but it wasn't without reason.
With a simple Iai Slash, it seemed as if Hanzo had cut the air in half.
But Raijin acted as if he didn't see Hanzo's Iai Slash, simply continuing to thrust the Kusanagi Sword down.
At that moment, Hanzo's slash also arrived!
"Boom!"
A purple skeletal structure appeared, accompanied by dense, almost tangible purple lightning.
Susano'o: Thunder God Mode!
Hanzo's scythe cut through the purple lightning and struck the skeleton, causing cracks to appear in the bone structure formed by pure ocular power.
The recoil forced Hanzo to retreat uncontrollably.
At the same time, Fukai and A attacked Raijin!
Susano'o appeared for just a moment before Raijin retracted it.
Using the Mangekyou's power frequently would cause irreparable damage to the body.
Until a solution was found, Raijin didn't want to overuse the Mangekyou's power.
After all, it wasn't yet a situation where he had to use the Mangekyou.
The purple lightning, split into two by Hanzo, instantly reformed, and the voltage of over a billion volts created a powerful shockwave in the air.
Thunderquake!
When the voltage is strong enough, the effect of Thunderquake can rival Pain's Shinra Tensei.
Although the forces used are entirely different, the resulting effect is quite similar.
The powerful shockwave surged forward, weakening Fukai and Ai's attacks and accelerating Hanzo's retreat.
"Crackle~"
The sound of electricity rang out, and Raijin's figure instantly appeared in front of Hanzo.
At that moment, Hanzo saw a pair of wildly spinning Mangekyou.
Hanzo knew he was probably done for.
"Ah!!!"
Sure enough, intense pain suddenly appeared, and Hanzo's body stiffened, his limbs feeling as if they were nailed in place.
Even though Hanzo knew that in reality, his limbs were fine.
This was the power of the Uchiha clan's inherited illusion: the Shackling Stakes Technique.
