Chapter 100: Shingetsu vs. the 4th Raikage, the Eight Gates of Release Unleashed!
"We cannot let down the sacrifice of the moon god. Everyone, quickly set up the explosive tags and prepare to detonate!" Kakashi, the calmest of them all, quickly recovered from his grief and led the others in setting up the explosive tags.
"Okay!" Kurenai and the others nodded and immediately opened their ninja tool bags to set up the explosive tags.
The detonation tags were quickly deployed.
Kakashi and the others immediately retreated to a safe position.
The detonator was then detonated with a bang.
boom!
The loud noise shook the area for miles around.
The intense flames mixed with smoke and dust, forming a huge mushroom cloud that was particularly dazzling above the valley. Even from miles away, the towering flames and billowing smoke could be clearly seen.
"Mission successful. Retreat according to Shingetsu-kun's plan!" Kakashi saw the supply point below that had been completely destroyed by the explosion and the surrounding landscape that had been completely altered by the blast, and prepared to lead everyone to evacuate.
This is not because they are cold-blooded.
Rather, it was part of Shingetsu's plan.
Once the mission is complete, evacuate immediately and leave him alone.
"Kamizuki-kun, you must come back alive!" They all looked in the direction Kamiya had gone, their eyes filled with sorrow.
Then he turned and left without looking back.
In the distance, the Fourth Raikage was lured away by Shingetsu.
Upon hearing the loud noise, I turned around and saw a mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
"That was a supply point!" The Fourth Raikage's pupils contracted, and he immediately realized that the supply point had been completely destroyed, and even the road had been cut off.
"Damn it!" His eyes burned with rage, but then instantly cooled and transformed into a more solid killing intent.
At this moment, the Fourth Raikage was not too angry.
Instead, his face revealed a resolute and almost cold calmness.
"Kakashi and the others have finally completed their mission!"
"Fourth Raikage, you've lost!"
When Shingetsu saw this scene, he knew that Kakashi and the others had completed their mission.
He nodded with great satisfaction, and then saw the Fourth Raikage's reaction.
"You think I've lost? You're sorely mistaken!"
Upon hearing Shingetsu's words, the Fourth Raikage's expression turned cold. He calmly retorted, "A supply point can be rebuilt if it's destroyed. A road can be repaired if it's severed. But an Uchiha genius like you, possessing such strength, intelligence, and courage at such a young age, will pose a far greater threat to Kumogakure once you fully mature! Killing you here today is more important than guarding that supply point!"
As he spoke, the lightning chakra around him began to converge inward, no longer as violently outward as before, appearing more condensed and profound, as if he were accumulating all his power for the next thunderous strike.
Right now, his biggest goal is to eliminate Shenyue.
Through their exchange, he also understood the potential and strength of this Uchiha genius.
"That idiot Danzo wanted to use me to get rid of you. Although his motives were despicable, this outcome suits me perfectly!"
"As expected, no one is stupid enough to fight the Fourth Hokage and escape unscathed!"
Upon hearing the Fourth Raikage's words, Shen Yue realized that although the Fourth Raikage was irritable, he was not a reckless man.
His ability to become Raikage at such a young age and lead the Hidden Cloud Village to a powerful rise in the ninja world was not solely due to his martial prowess.
At this moment, he had clearly identified himself as a major future threat that needed to be eliminated first.
"In that case, let's fight to the death!" Shen Yue uttered these words softly, stopping her rapid retreat and landing steadily in a relatively open clearing in the forest.
The Sharingan and the Raikage's sharp eyes met across the distance.
There was no point in running away now; the enemy had completely locked onto him and was absolutely determined.
Then... let's fight!
"Ninpo!"
Shingetsu stared coldly at the Fourth Raikage and struck first once again.
This time, he immediately formed a hand seal with one hand, his movements as fast as a phantom.
At the same time, the massive chakra within his body surged wildly, splitting into wind and fire elements.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
They were not released one after the other, but rather, under Shen Yue's exquisite control, they were almost simultaneously unleashed!
The howling wind did not attack directly, but instead instantly engulfed and fueled the roaring, blazing white fire dragon!
The wind fanned the flames, and the fire was fueled by the wind!
A terrifying composite fire dragon, nearly twice the size of its predecessor, wrapped in rapidly spinning pale blue wind blades and its color shifting from blazing white to dazzling golden-white, lunged at the Fourth Raikage with a shrill shriek that tore through the air and flames that burned everything in its path!
Wherever it passed, the ground was scorched and cracked by the high temperature, the air was violently distorted, and the force was terrifying!
"The fire is amplified by the wind; what astonishing destructive power! Such incredible hand seal speed, and it's done with just one hand, simultaneously unleashing two ninjutsu!"
The Fourth Raikage's expression turned serious as he faced such a large-scale ninjutsu.
The power of this complex ninjutsu is astonishing.
But why would he be afraid?
"Lightning Release: Heavy Flow Storm!"
This time, instead of using the conventional Lightning Release chakra mode to charge in head-on, he concentrated his raging Lightning Release chakra into his right fist, forming a blinding ball of lightning, and then unleashed a powerful punch!
A thick, solid pillar of lightning shot out like an angry dragon, crashing head-on into the wind and fire composite dragon!
Rumble!
The deafening explosion resounded through the sky!
Golden-white flames, pale blue wind blades, and blue lightning collided, annihilated, and shattered wildly!
The blinding light was too intense to look at directly, and the terrifying shockwave uprooted and tore the trees within dozens of meters to pieces. The ground was plowed with deep furrows, and scorched earth and arcs of electricity spread everywhere.
This time, he suffered burns.
"Hmph!" The Fourth Raikage grunted, his cheek twitching slightly.
Although the lightning pillar shattered most of the combined fire dragon's power, the dissipated high-temperature flames and sharp wind blades still broke through part of his lightning armor's defenses, leaving several charred burn marks on his bronze skin, and even some deep wounds that oozed blood and caused a burning pain.
This was the first time he had suffered visible damage since the start of the war!
"You're being incredibly naive to think you can seriously injure me with such a mere ninjutsu attack!"
The Fourth Raikage let out a low roar, completely disregarding his injuries. He even used the shockwave from the explosion to accelerate, like a blue cannonball fired from a gun, rushing towards Shingetsu at an even faster speed.
"Kill!" The Sharingan of the God Moon tried its best to capture the Fourth Raikage's attack trajectory. The purple-red chakra steam rose around him again. The ground beneath his feet exploded. Instead of retreating, he advanced and took the initiative to meet the attack!
The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
boom!
boom!
boom!
boom!
The Fourth Raikage and the God Moon clashed fiercely.
Ripples of power erupted and spread outwards continuously.
Their fists clashed, their legs collided.
Two figures moved at high speed in the open space, crisscrossing and attacking each other, so fast that only blurry afterimages remained.
Every punch and kick from the Raikage was imbued with the immense power to split mountains and shatter rocks, along with the raging lightning. Meanwhile, Shingetsu, relying on the terrifying speed and chakra amplification brought by the Eight Gates, as well as the perception of the Sharingan, barely managed to catch the Fourth Raikage's attacks and kept counterattacking.
