Sasuke stood his ground as the Raikage stormed toward him, flanked by C and Darui. Without turning his gaze, he instructed Jūgo and Suigetsu, "Handle them."
" Why are you here?" he shouted, voice like thunder.
Sasuke's response was cold and sharp. "I'm here to kill Danzō."
The Raikage scoffed. "You've got guts—but you're a fool!"
In a flash, he activated his Lightning Chakra Mode. The air rippled as he launched forward at blinding speed—faster than most could even perceive.
But Sasuke remained unfazed.
With precise timing and complete calm, he simply sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the Raikage's devastating charge.
Sasuke sidestepped as the Raikage blitzed past him. The moment Raikage turned, he launched a powerful lightning-infused punch toward Sasuke—but Sasuke dodged again with minimal movement, reading his flow.
Without wasting a second, Sasuke jumped back and weaved hand signs mid-air.
**"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"**
A massive fireball erupted from his mouth and hurtled toward the Raikage. But the Raikage didn't flinch. He took it head-on, letting the flames crash into his body.
As the fire cleared, he stood tall—barely singed, his Lightning Chakra Mode still crackling.
Sasuke landed on the ground, a small smirk forming on his face.
"You're strong," he said calmly. "Come... let's dance."
The words, and the way he said them, made everyone around uneasy.
C and Darui—who were busy clashing with Jūgo and Suigetsu—briefly glanced over in shock. Even they could feel the shift in tension.
Karin, observing everything from the back, narrowed her eyes. She finally understood why Sasuke could react so precisely.
**"So… he's a sensory-type ninja too?"** she thought, surprised. **"But… why has he never shown it until now?"*
