Lín, enveloped by Susanoo, slid through the air for a period before suddenly landing, then slid another distance on the ground before slowly coming to a stop.
His eerie Mangekyo Sharingan narrowed slightly, gazing at the crack in Susanoo's sternum. "'Too fast. Even with the visual prowess of the Mangekyo Sharingan, I could only barely catch his afterimages. Even if I could see him, my body couldn't keep up with his speed!!!!'"
Thinking of this, "'Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!!!!!!'" Forming hand seals, Lín spewed out a large amount of flames from his mouth. "'Roar!!!!!'" The roar of giant dragon heads resounded. A large amount of flames transformed into over a dozen massive dragon heads, pouncing towards the Raikage at an extremely fast speed.
"'Hmph!'" With a cold snort, the Raikage's figure instantly vanished from his spot, transforming into a blue bolt of lightning that continuously flickered past the flaming dragon heads. He rapidly approached Lín, but the flaming dragon heads significantly slowed the Raikage's speed.
Lín's Sharingan snapped wide open. The Raikage had already dodged all the fire dragons and instantly charged in front of Lín. Just then, Susanoo's fist suddenly appeared before the Raikage. "'What!!!!'" The Raikage's face instantly registered shock.
"'I've already captured your movements,' Lín said calmly. "'Boom!!!!'" The Raikage's body was instantly sent flying again by Susanoo's punch. "'Damn it!!!! Was that Fire Release just now meant to slow me down?'" The Raikage's figure landed unsteadily, appearing extremely disheveled. With a pfft, he forcibly swallowed a mouthful of fresh blood.
"'Whoosh!!!!'" Lín instantly charged towards the Raikage, quickly forming a Rasengan in his left hand. "'Still dare to charge over!!!! You don't know what's good for you!!!'" The Raikage's face was ferocious. Enveloped in lightning, he violently met Lín. Unleashing a punch, "'Lariat!!!!'"
Lín's Sharingan spun rapidly. The powerful visual prowess of his Mangekyo completely captured the Fourth Raikage's movements. Just as the Raikage's fist was about to make contact with Lín's body, he abruptly twisted to the side, successfully evading the Raikage's attack.
"'What!!!!!?'" The Raikage's expression instantly changed. "'Die!!!!'" Lín sneered, and slammed the Rasengan in his hand towards the Raikage's abdomen.
"'Zzzzt!!!!!!!!!!'" A harsh, violent friction sound instantly erupted. "'Hmm?'" Lín was instantly startled. In that moment, as the Rasengan made contact with the Raikage's abdomen, a layer of blue Lightning Release protective film appeared on the Raikage's body surface. The Rasengan was instantly blocked by this layer of lightning.
"'This is the Fourth Hokage's ninjutsu, right? Although I don't know where you learned this ninjutsu, this technique alone cannot break through my Lightning Release Armor,' the Raikage said with a ferocious expression.
"'You're celebrating too early,' Lín sneered. "'Hmm?'" The Raikage's brow instantly furrowed. He saw Lín's right Mangekyo Sharingan snap wide open. A strange visual power overflowed from his left eye. "'Amplify!!!!!!'"
"'What!!!!'" The Fourth Raikage's pupils slightly constricted. He saw the Rasengan, which was blocked by the Lightning Release Armor, instantly begin to expand. Not only the volume of the Rasengan, but also its rotation instantly surged.
"'Damn it!!!!!!!!!!'" Feeling this rapidly surging power, the Raikage's face changed drastically. "'Giant Rasengan!!!!'" Lín sneered. "'Zzzzt!!!!!!!!!!'" The friction sound became even more ear-piercing. Lightning overflowed. "'Damn it!!!! The Lightning Release Armor can't hold up!!!'" The Raikage's face was incomparably ferocious.
At this moment, the Rasengan had become incredibly huge, far exceeding the Raikage's body. The violent chakra energy ball continuously pushed the Raikage's tall and muscular body backward. A huge gully was carved into the ground.
"'Damn it!!!!'" The Raikage gritted his teeth, crossing his thick arms, adorned with metal armguards, over his chest. "'Die!!!!'" Lín said with a sinister grin.
"'Damn it!!!!'" The Raikage's ferocious face was instantly submerged by a blinding white light. A colossal spherical energy mass carried the Raikage's body towards the distance, slamming heavily into a distant mountain wall. "'Crash!!!!'" Countless shattered stones fell, and the ground seemed to tremble.
...
"'Ra- Raikage-sama!!!!!!!!'" Numerous ninjas were drawn to the battle here. Seeing the Raikage sent flying by Lín's Rasengan, many Cloud Ninjas' faces instantly changed drastically. Anxiety and worry filled their faces.
"'H-how is this possible!!!? Raikage-sama actually lost!!!'" At this moment, Cee and Ao's battle also paused. Cee stared blankly at the Raikage who had been blasted away, gritting his teeth. He vanished from his spot with a leap, disengaging from his fight with Ao, and rushed towards the Raikage.
Ao slowly put away his ninja blade and did not pursue. After all, the Hidden Mist Village had already taken a considerable risk by coming to support Sakura Ninja Village this time. And offending Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Cloud Village simultaneously
if anything unexpected happened to the Raikage, it wasn't hard to imagine that Hidden Cloud Village would go absolutely berserk. It could even become the fuse for the Fourth Great Ninja War. The Hidden Mist Village, in its current state, could hardly bear such a cost.
...
Given the Raikage's strength and physical toughness, that last blow would likely severely wound him. But it wouldn't take his life, which is why Ao was so content to let his opponent leave to aid the Raikage. After all, the Hidden Mist Village had no need to forge a deadly feud with the Hidden Cloud Village.
"'Great! Lord Sakura Kage won!!!!'" Many ninjas from Sakura Ninja Village not only cheered. While most of the Cloud Ninjas, seeing the Raikage's defeat, lost their will to fight, quickly retreating to the rear to rescue the Raikage.
"'Raikage-sama, are you alright?'" Cee rushed over with the badly injured Cloud Ninjas. He pushed aside the shattered rocks and helped the Raikage's tall body up.
At this moment, the Raikage was extremely disheveled. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his white top was nowhere to be seen, his chest and abdomen were slightly caved in, and numerous bloodstains seeped from his pores, indicating he was clearly not lightly injured.
"'That... that damn Uchiha brat, too careless. I didn't expect that kid to have that trick up his sleeve,' the Raikage gasped for breath, wobbling as he stood up, leaning on Cee's shoulder. He glared at Lín in the distance, gritting his teeth as he spoke of corpses and bones.
