"Is that so?"
The Fourth Raikage's eyes sharpened. He twisted his neck, and the next instant, his entire body moved.
"Then I apologize!"
He didn't plan to waste words. He hadn't expected to encounter so much trouble just trying to find Tsunade.
Outside the door, roars kept coming, clearly indicating that Jiraiya and Orochimaru were fighting fiercely. It was clearly not appropriate to drag this out any longer.
He would act decisively and take Tsunade with him!
"Watch out!"
Kakashi's eyes instantly widened. He flashed to try and block, and Tsunade also frowned, her Chakra instantly erupting within her body.
Buzz—
However, to their surprise.
At that very instant, a figure instantly blocked their path, and purple lightning erupted.
Boom—
Accompanied by a piercing roar, the entire izakaya instantly collapsed, and thick smoke and dust filled the air.
Whoosh—
The next moment, several figures flashed out from the smoke and dust, and the Fourth Raikage looked at the young man before him with curiosity.
"Purple lightning, how rare, but the intensity seems very high."
As a Raikage, his perception of Lightning Release was very high, so he could naturally sense the extraordinary nature of this Purple Lightning.
Moreover, Takemi had used Purple Lightning to form a defense and actually blocked him. Even though his attack was slightly rushed, he was still confident in his strength.
"Is Konoha out of people? Sending a kid like you to deal with me?"
Although he was wary, the Fourth Raikage still maintained the arrogance of a Kage.
"Let Kakashi handle it, you're still far from ready!"
"Isn't it possible that Kakashi-sensei thinks I'm enough to deal with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Takemi didn't waste another word. His figure flashed, and he charged forward directly.
The Fourth Raikage was a rare master of Lightning Release, and he had even fought Minato in the past.
Takemi naturally didn't want to miss such an opponent!
Anyway, he could attack or defend, and at this stage, who could compare to him in terms of escape ability?
"Hmph! Since you're looking for death—"
The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly, looking at Takemi charging towards him. Lightning Chakra instantly appeared on his body, and his entire being moved.
Bang—
In an instant, two Chakra-covered figures, one blue and one purple, collided, and a deep thud and a visible shockwave erupted.
Crack—
In an instant, a large number of cracks appeared in the houses around them, and many houses even collapsed.
And beneath their feet, under the impact of the two Chakra surges, the ground also shattered, and cracks continuously spread outwards.
"The strength isn't bad, huh."
The Fourth Raikage frowned, clearly realizing that Takemi seemed to be somewhat unusual.
Whether it was that Purple Lightning, or his speed and strength, this only made him more excited.
"But it's a bit of a shame, an interesting kid like you met me—"
As he spoke, the Chakra on the Fourth Raikage's body suddenly became much stronger.
The blue lightning completely covered him, and his aura became even more dominant!
"Then I won't hold back!"
"Mm, I wanted to say the same thing."
Takemi nodded, and the aura on his body also began to change.
A red eye shadow appeared on his face, and his eyes turned white at this moment.
Looking at those eyes, even the Fourth Raikage was momentarily dazed. What exactly was going on?
What was going on with his eyes and this Chakra?
However, before he could figure it out, Takemi's voice sounded again.
"Then I won't hold back!"
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Piercing roars continuously echoed, and the once bustling Sugi Village was now deserted.
The entire area seemed to have turned into a battlefield, and outside the town, countless people held torches, looking towards the commotion.
"Oh, what happened?"
Shizune, holding Tonton, opened her eyes in a daze. She had a low alcohol tolerance and was already dizzy after a few drinks.
If not for the intense noise, she probably wouldn't have sobered up so quickly.
But when she turned her head, she suddenly realized she was no longer in the tavern, and she saw people fighting in the distance.
This immediately startled her, especially when she saw Tsunade's solemn expression, and...
"Kakashi-senpai, why are you here?"
"Quiet, this isn't the time to talk."
Tsunade quietly interrupted Shizune, then turned to Kakashi.
"What's with that kid?"
Although it happened suddenly, she saw it clearly. Takemi instantly blocked in front of them, and then a purple Lightning burst from his body.
And this Lightning Release was like a shield, instantly blocking the Fourth Raikage's attack.
"That kind of Lightning Release..."
"That's something Takemi developed himself."
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head. Seeing Takemi already entangled with the Fourth Raikage, he could only speak in a low, helpless voice.
"Takemi is a genius, his talent even surpasses that of Lord Fourth Hokage. Both Jiraiya-sama and Lord Hokage agree with this."
"Hmph, just talent. But you seem to trust him a lot, don't you?" Tsunade frowned, looking at Kakashi.
She pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "What exactly is the purpose of your visit, and aren't you going to do something about that kid?"
'You just don't know this kid.'
Kakashi couldn't help but complain inwardly. Takemi already had Purple Electricity and Flying Thunder God Technique, making him incredibly difficult to deal with.
And now he's even learned Sage Mode. Regardless of whether he can win, if he wants to leave, probably very few people can stop him.
However, he was also ready to provide support at any moment.
While trying to lock onto the Fourth Raikage with his Sharingan, he spoke in a low voice, "Tsunade-sama, I will provide support over there, but our purpose in coming to see you this time is also very clear. The village is probably in trouble."
"Trouble?"
"That's right. This matter is also related to Orochimaru, and it involves many other things, such as Wood Release..."
As Kakashi and Tsunade discussed the purpose of their visit, the battle between Takemi and the Fourth Raikage grew increasingly fierce.
"This kid..."
The Fourth Raikage's expression was somewhat displeased, because he found that this kid in front of him seemed much more troublesome than he had imagined.
He didn't want to kill him, because he still needed Tsunade's help, but he found this kid somewhat difficult to deal with?
"You don't seem as fast as I imagined."
Takemi probably understood the Fourth Raikage's thoughts. He instantly dodged the Fourth Raikage's fist, then casually pulled out several kunai and threw them out.
At the same time, he formed a hand sign with one hand, and the next moment, a massive fire dragon spewed from his mouth.
"Single-handed hand signs, and the Jutsu is still so stable and powerful?"
The Fourth Raikage instantly dodged the kunai, but looking at the oncoming fire dragon, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"No wonder that purple Lightning Release has so many variations. This kid's Chakra control is extremely high."
As he thought, his Chakra suddenly burst forth, and then he powerfully swung one hand.
Violent power gathered in his hand, and that fire dragon was actually cut in half by him.
