Chapter 117 The Third Hokage Vs. The Fourth Raikage

Whoosh——

Several figures wearing Konoha vests were speeding on the southern sea surface some distance away from the Land of Waves.

The speed was comparable to a car speeding at 120 yards.

Among them, the short Sarutobi Hiruzen was very conspicuous because of his old age.

When the signal fireworks symbolizing the alliance were lit on the island of the Land of Waves, he was already ready on the nearby island.

After Mito Kado En lit another signal, he immediately rushed out of the island with the Anbu people and rushed towards the Land of Waves.

However, in addition to the signal fireworks on their side, another kind of fireworks rose from the center of the island. It seems that the Kazekage of the Sand Village has the same plan as him.

On the other side, on the western sea surface, there were also several ninjas wearing Sand Village vests running fast.

The fourth generation Kazekage Rasa suddenly appeared in the team.

The shadow of Konoha Village and the shadow of Sand Village also arrived on this battlefield.

Alliance is a very important thing.

In the past, every time a ceasefire agreement was reached, the Kages of each village would arrive at the battlefield to meet to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the alliance.

And this time was no exception.

Just like battlefield commanders are often at the back of the team, as the people in power, they are destined not to be able to charge like ordinary ninjas.

Unless they are extremely sure of winning the war.

Otherwise, once something happens to them, the forces they represent will be leaderless.

In such a severe period of war, it is likely to cause great losses.

So whether it is Mitomon En or Ebizo, they are just a test team as a forward outpost.

In fact, even if they cannot complete the mission of the alliance, as long as they ensure that other forces do have the intention of the alliance.

Then the Third Hokage of Konoha and the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure will take over, increase the importance of the representative forces to this alliance, and try a second meeting.

But now that the alliance has been successfully reached, they are no longer hiding and are ready to rush to the scene as soon as possible.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, when Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped into the sea area of ​​the Land of Waves, he shouted coldly.

In front of them, several figures rushed towards them from all directions.

Swish——

Sarutobi Hiruzen and several Anbu behind him stopped moving forward in an instant with strong control. The powerful impact caused a small wave to rise near them, but it soon returned to calm.

"Fourth Raikage... I didn't expect you to come too."

Hiruzen's face full of age spots wrinkled as he spoke. His cloudy eyes stared at the man who suddenly appeared not far away. "The alliance has been reached. It's meaningless for you to destroy it at this time."

The voice sounded dry and hoarse, like a deep well that had dried up.

Behind him, the ninjas of Konoha Anbu were ready, picking up kunai and blades and entering a state of combat readiness.

"Third Hokage, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to become like this."

Standing opposite, the Fourth Raikage spoke calmly, but his eyes were extremely hot, "Even you, who is called a ninjutsu doctor, can't resist the erosion of time."

"You are old. Why don't you make a little contribution to the rise of my Kumogakure before you retire and lie in the coffin! In this way... you can also have the honor of becoming an indispensable great man in the history of my Kumogakure."

"Your Kumogakure's style of doing things is really as arrogant as ever. I think... someone from the Fourth Kazekage has also gone there, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen half-squinted his eyes, "The young Kazekage is in his prime, but he is much more difficult to deal with than me. Aren't you afraid that your allies can't stop him and bring this news to the Land of Waves?"

He saw the plan of the Kumogakure Village without even saying it clearly.

No matter what the temporary result of the alliance is, they just want to use a tough attitude and use his head to exchange for the dominant position of the alliance and replace Konoha.

However, except for the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village, he did not see anyone from other forces around.

It seems that Luo Sha on the other side has encountered the same blockade as him.

"We are just a temporary alliance. If I take down Konoha and the old guy Tsuchikage does not replace the Wind Shadow, then we don't mind changing the target of cooperation to Sunagakure."

The fourth generation Raikage spread his hands indifferently.

During the conversation, the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas farther away had used a simple sealing barrier technique to separate this sea area from the Land of Waves.

Turning his head to look at the light blue fluorescence beside him, he seemed very proud, "The war in the Land of Waves is still going on. Even if you, Konoha Hyuga, have time to expand your perception around, you will be blocked by this barrier."

"The hero of the ninja world? I want to see today, who is stronger between you and the golden flash!"

At the end of his speech, the chakra in his body had already surged substantially.

This is the preparation of the Fourth Raikage, although the people in their entire village seem to be simple-minded.

But in fact, they are no worse than any other ninja village in terms of overt conspiracy.

Beside him, other Kumogakure ninjas also burst out extremely powerful chakra.

"Ninjutsu?"

Muttering and taking a half step back, Sarutobi Hiruzen carefully observed the chakra on the surface of the Fourth Raikage's body, trying to figure out the way and changes of the chakra.

But before he could take a few more glances, the Fourth Raikage disappeared from his sight in an instant.

"So fast!"

There is no need to think too much. Years of combat experience allowed Sarutobi Hiruzen to dodge from where he was originally standing.

And the next moment, a figure like lightning has replaced his original position, and a punch is thrown into the air.

Swish——

The powerful energy blasted out from the fist, bringing out a whole wave of spray.

Ding Ding Ding——

The actions of the two also meant that the battle had begun.

Kunai and shurikens were launched from all directions, thrown by the Kumogakure ninjas, and rushed towards the position re-selected by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

On the other side, the Konoha Anbu also threw out ninja tools in time to block these shurikens.

Within the range of the light blue barrier, the battle was divided into two parts in an instant.

The fourth generation Raikage and the third generation Hokage.

Kumogakure Anbu, and Konoha Anbu.

"The nature change of the lightning attribute has almost reached the extreme. This is a ninjutsu that incorporates the nature change."

In the distance, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who dodged the punch of the Raikage in an instant, half-crouched on the sea.

He also turned his head from time to time, or moved his arms, avoiding the kunai and shurikens of other ninjas by a little bit.

Just a simple close contact, Sarutobi Hiruzen intuitively felt the secret meaning of the Raikage's secret technique from the process of dodging just now.

This is an amplification secret technique that stimulates the activation of the body through lightning, and stimulates the conduction speed of nerves through lightning chakra, thereby achieving a two-way improvement in speed and physique.

"You are worthy of being called a ninja doctor."

Seeing that the essence of the secret technique was revealed after just one encounter, the Fourth Raikage smiled excitedly and said, "Then next... can you still see my movements clearly?!"

The moment the words fell, a larger and more substantial chakra burst out from his body, like a layer of light blue armor, covering his body.

The crackling sound of lightning kept flashing on the surface of his body.

In the blink of an eye, he had once again come to Sarutobi Hiruzen and swung a fist as big as a casserole and charged.

But unfortunately, even if his speed was increased again, this punch was still dodged by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

What can't be seen with the naked eye can be felt.

Years of combat experience have made Sarutobi Hiruzen's combat consciousness already above that of a jonin. This kind of physical instinctive consciousness cannot be affected by physical aging.

One chases, the other hides.

The two are like inseparable, glued together people and shadows. Every new place where Sarutobi lands will be quickly caught up by the Raikage.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen! As a Hokage, are you only able to dodge and tolerate?"

While chasing, the Raikage roared like a beast, and his clothes had been torn into pieces by lightning.

Wrapped in bronze muscles, he was like a cheetah staring at its prey.

The range of the barrier is not large. The fight between his own ninjas and the Konoha Anbu ninjas has already caused all kinds of ninjutsu to fly.

But those techniques can't break his lightning chakra armor at all.

Therefore, there is no need to spend time dodging like Sarutobi Hiruzen to avoid being accidentally injured.

But even so, the Raikage still can't catch this clever old monkey. The opponent can always avoid his attack trajectory at the moment he is about to touch.

And facing the powerful chakra output and sound interference of the Fourth Raikage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's wrinkled face was calm, and he just frowned slightly.

The opponent's increased chakra output means another increase in speed and physical defense, which he could expect.

Even the inner fluctuations it brought to him were not as intense as at the beginning.

The Fourth Raikage's words were mocking, so there was no need for him to care, after all, this was a battle between life and death.

Compared with the Raikage's body in his prime, Sarutobi knew that his physical functions had declined with age.

It is very likely that his attack can only cause trouble to the opponent, but the opponent's attack is enough to kill him.

So, he has been waiting, waiting for the best time to fight back.

"It looks like a very steady battle rhythm, perhaps because of his age, but... his fighting style is worth learning."

In the distance, the Hinata who could not see through the barrier mentioned by the Raikage was standing upright on a reef by the sea, observing this battle.

The Byakugan cannot see through the barrier? Maybe it used to be like this.

But that was only because the research and development of the Byakugan by Hyuga had not yet reached a sufficient level.

When these eyes appeared in Ryosuke's eyes, he could no longer use the usual information to judge.
