The Fourth Raikage, A, frowned tightly. If Mokgetsu also had a dark complexion and a body full of sturdy muscles, he might even suspect that the Third Raikage had an illegitimate child outside.
"Lariat!"
The Fourth Raikage calmed his heart, deciding to ask about the illegitimate child issue later. The most important thing right now was to defeat the enemy.
Consecutive failures made the Fourth Raikage regard Mokgetsu as the strongest enemy he had ever encountered. To turn the tide, he used his most powerful Ninjutsu and Taijutsu combination!
Lariat is a Hiden Nin-Taijutsu from The Hidden Cloud Village, with extremely fast speed and massive power. It can be considered the pinnacle of Hidden Cloud Lighting Release Nin-Taijutsu. The Double Lariat performed by two people together possesses a terrifyingly lethal force.
The Fourth Raikage had already used Double Lariat with Killer Bee to kill many from the Hidden Sand, but against Mokgetsu, he wasn't planning on cooperating with Killer Bee to use the Double Lariat.
The Double Lariat requires the users to maintain the same strength. During its use, the Fourth Raikage would usually significantly lower his power to coordinate with Killer Bee.
His current opponent wasn't those weak and powerless ordinary ninja, but someone equally proficient in the Lighting Chakra Mode.
A terrifying aura rose from the Fourth Raikage's body as he utilized the Lighting Chakra Mode to its limits. The constant crackling of lightning surrounded him. At this moment, his power and defense had reached their utmost peak.
As the Fourth Raikage began sprinting, even with Mokgetsu's Byakugan, he could only see a mass of powerful Chakra moving rapidly, unable to see the Fourth Raikage's figure.
Whhhoooo!!
The Fourth Raikage, using Lariat, was like a heavily armored tank with the speed of an airplane, bursting out with a forceful gust that even broke the big tree behind Mokgetsu.
Faced with the oncoming Fourth Raikage, Mokgetsu's expression remained unchanged, and he did not dodge.
He could only say that the Fourth Raikage was unfortunate to encounter him. Most people in the Ninja World couldn't withstand such a collision and could only evade.
Originally, the power of the Lighting Chakra Mode was strong enough, and with the added power from the acceleration, it could smash an ordinary ninja into pieces.
However, Mokgetsu did not fall into the category of most people. In the Breath of Thunder Pattern State, he could greatly enhance his strength by activating his body, and the Transparent World allowed him to exert one hundred percent of his power. Coupled with the perfectly controlled Perfect-Level Armament Aura, as long as he had enough Chakra, Mokgetsu feared no direct confrontation.
Mokgetsu constantly concentrated his breathing to the extreme, gathering a massive amount of electricity on his arms, enhancing the power of his arms. Soon, the power of his entire body converged on his right arm, making the muscle and veins bulge powerfully.
Next, the pitch-black Armament Aura covered Mokgetsu's fist, further entwined with a colorless Armament energy on Mokgetsu's fist.
Since the Fourth Raikage gave the opportunity, he would not be polite.
"Breath of Thunder: Serious Punch!"
Mokgetsu suddenly charged, raising his lightning-encased black fist towards the Fourth Raikage.
The activation of the powerful strength brought by the Body Activation of the Breath of Thunder Pattern, the reinforcement of Armament Aura, and the Transparent World of the Breathing Technique Ultimate Intent—three powers combined in use, Mokgetsu's single strike generated massive shockwaves.
A large amount of sand and gravel was blown up, with wild winds carrying sand and dust raging everywhere.
Apart from Killer Bee, wearing sunglasses, the other two Hidden Cloud Ninja had to shield their eyes with their hands to prevent the wind and sand from entering.
"How is there such terrifying power!" Motomu displayed an expression of utter shock, sensing the current terrifying aura of Mokgetsu.
"Could it be..." A terrifying thought flashed through Motomu's mind.
He quickly shook his head, repeatedly telling himself, "Impossible, how could our Candidate for the Raikage from The Hidden Cloud Village lose to an unknown figure."
"That was the child of the Third Raikage, whom even the Third Raikage himself praised for soon possessing the strength to be the Raikage."
But no matter how much Motomu convinced himself, he couldn't change reality.
Even without Perception Ninjutsu, the Hidden Cloud Chunin perceived the extraordinary from the power unleashed by Mokgetsu's punch. He had to use Chakra to stand firm against the strong storm or risk being blown backward.
"Big brother!" Killer Bee had no mind for rapping either. Despite his strong belief in the Fourth Raikage, the strength exhibited by Mokgetsu was astonishingly overwhelming.
BOOM!!!
Mokgetsu's black fist wrapped in Lighting Release collided with the high-speed charging Fourth Raikage.
A massive explosion sounded, with terrifying lightning turning the surrounding land charred black.
In the next second, with the two as the center, the area over twenty meters around them directly shattered, resulting in a massive crater.
In the next moment, with a loud bang, the robust body of the Fourth Raikage was fiercely sent flying backward.
Killer Bee rushed to mitigate the force for the Fourth Raikage, but overestimated his power and was also sent flying backwards, though he succeeded in dispersing part of the force.
"It's actually stronger than anticipated!" Although he had guessed it, it was different when facing the reality on the ground, and cold sweat poured from Motomu's forehead.
In his eyes, someone like the Fourth Raikage was already a non-human monster. Under Lighting Chakra Mode, his speed was untraceable even by him, a Perception Jonin. Yet, such a monster had lost, and the opponent wasn't one of the Five Kage or a renowned strong person in the Ninja World.
"Cough, cough." The Fourth Raikage coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood. As Killer Bee supported him up, he looked at Mokgetsu with a face full of disbelief.
He had thought Mokgetsu might burst out with speed surpassing before and avoid the attack, but he hadn't expected Mokgetsu could directly confront and injure him.
One must know that this was The Hidden Cloud's top-level Nin-Taijutsu, Lariat, a powerful Nin-Taijutsu he had been cultivating since childhood.
That peak collision just now, before Mokgetsu's hand, the Fourth Raikage believed that besides his father, all other ninja only had the choice of avoiding or suffering severe injuries.
Yet, the power suddenly unleashed by Mokgetsu was beyond his imagination. Not only did it withstand his charge, but it also directly landed a punch that broke his Lighting Chakra Mode.
In shock, Motomu also realized Mokgetsu's danger, quickly forming seals and releasing a Lighting Release towards Mokgetsu with another Hidden Cloud Chunin.
But how could their Ninjutsu hit Mokgetsu in the Breath of Thunder state? Mokgetsu easily dodged their attacks, then raised both hands to grip empty air. Instantly, two lightning spears appeared in Mokgetsu's hands, which he then threw at the Hidden Cloud ninja.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The Hidden Cloud Chunin were directly pierced by the lightning spears, their bodies electrocuted to become scorched and instantly dying.
Motomu's speed couldn't match the lightning spears, but the Fourth Raikage intervened, entering the ultimate Lighting Chakra Mode to rescue Motomu.
Saved, Motomu couldn't hide the frightened look in his eyes.
"Being able to perform such a level of Lighting Release Ninjutsu without seals!" Mokgetsu became even more terrifying in Motomu's heart.
Seeing the Fourth Raikage hurt yet still urgently saving Motomu made Mokgetsu think that the status of special talents really was something else. In the Fourth Raikage's heart, probably as long as Killer Bee and Motomu survived, the sacrifice of others wasn't much of an issue.
The Fourth Raikage took a long breath, wiping off the blood from the corner of his mouth while protecting Motomu and Killer Bee and distancing himself from Mokgetsu.
Seeing this, Mokgetsu quickly released the Breath of Thunder Pattern Mode, using the Transparent World to hide his breath and kept up an unfathomable look, then began to quickly refine Chakra.
Although his Chakra refining speed didn't match his strength, any bit of recovery helped.
His skills were strong, indeed, but their consumption was equally fierce.
"Unleash the potential within your bodies." While paying attention to the Fourth Raikage and others, Mokgetsu also observed the battle on Obito's side through his Byakugan.
The situation on his side was quite good; despite consuming a large amount of Chakra, he successfully injured the Fourth Raikage. If Mokgetsu wanted to leave, he could easily do so now.
However, the situation with his disciples wasn't as favorable. They were pursued by a jonin with 7100 Chakra Master-Level Lighting Nature Transformation and another skilled chunin with 4000 Chakra, posing great pressure on Obito and the others.
