Chapter 148 - Fourth Raikage

Just then, everyone in the chat group received a system notification:

[System Announcement]: Due to serious fight-provoking behavior between Uchiha Madara and Fourth Raikage A, a duel may be arranged immediately! Both parties must confirm now!

While everyone else was still stunned...

In the Pure Land:

Uchiha Madara received a private message, invisible to others.

[Detection Notice]: You and Fourth Raikage A have been identified with serious fight-provoking behavior. Would you like to initiate a duel immediately?

Then—

Two options appeared:

Yes

No

Madara didn't even hesitate—he chose "Yes" instantly.

At the Hidden Cloud Village – Raikage's Office:

Fourth Raikage A received the same system prompt, also hidden from others.

[Detection Notice]: You and Uchiha Madara have been identified with serious fight-provoking behavior. Would you like to initiate a duel immediately?

He, too, was presented with two choices.

But unlike Madara, Raikage A hesitated.

Despite all his loud bravado in the chat...

All he really had was a so-called "100% Accuracy Thousand Years of Death."

He could make Madara "wish he were dead" with it—

But a true duel?

He knew very well...

He wasn't Madara's match.

But if he chose "No" now—

Wouldn't that just make all his earlier taunts a complete joke?

He'd be slapping himself in the face in front of everyone!

So the Fourth Raikage hesitated...

Everyone else in the chat group was silently waiting.

After all, this was a duel—not just any duel!

It was one everyone wanted to see.

On one side, the legendary God of Shinobi, Uchiha Madara.

On the other, the extremely arrogant Fourth Raikage A, now wielding a move said to never miss: the 100% Accuracy Thousand Years of Death.

Since receiving that technique, Raikage A had been strutting around like he owned the place.

But no one had actually seen what this mysterious move looked like.

Could this be the moment?

Everyone was holding their breath, eager to finally see:

What does "100% Accuracy Thousand Years of Death" actually do?

And how would the legendary Madara react to it?

Only one person wasn't quietly observing—

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

She was excited.

"So as long as two people have serious fight behavior, the system will arrange a duel?"

"Then I could deliberately provoke the Sage of Six Paths... and force the system to pit me against him!"

Of course—

Kaguya wasn't in a rush.

She wanted to observe first:

What exactly triggered a duel?

What were the consequences?

How was victory or defeat determined?

Group Chat

Uchiha Madara @Fourth Raikage A: What's wrong? Weren't you acting all high and mighty? I already clicked 'Yes'—what are you waiting for?

First Hokage Hashirama @Madara: Madara? What do you mean you 'clicked Yes'? Why didn't I get any buttons?

Uchiha Madara @Hashirama: Hashirama! That's because you're not part of the duel!

Uchiha Izuna: Nii-san! Nii-san! Tell us more—I want to know how it works too!

Madara: I got a prompt saying it detected serious fight behavior between me and Raikage A. It asked if I wanted to start a duel and gave me two options. I clicked 'Yes' without hesitation.

Izuna: I see! So since the duel hasn't started yet, does that mean the Fourth Raikage chose "No"?

Second Hokage Tobirama: Fool. The announcement is still active, and the visual broadcast about Ōnoki was paused. That means Raikage A hasn't chosen "No"—he just hasn't made his decision yet.

Madara @Raikage A: What's wrong? Chickening out? You were trash-talking me just a minute ago. Now you're gonna slap yourself in the face that quickly? If you're gonna get humiliated, at least let me do it personally. It's no fun watching you do it yourself.

Izuna @Raikage A: Hurry up and click 'Yes'! My Nii-san's been waiting!

Hashirama @Madara: Madara! Be careful! He has the 100% Accuracy Thousand Years of Death. I bet the reason he's stalling is because he's customizing your spiked club as we speak.

Tobirama: Makes sense. Didn't they just talk about making one that can spin? He's probably finalizing the design right now.

Madara @Raikage A: Is that it? Are you really making a spinning spiked club for me? Fine. I'll wait a bit longer for you to finish.

Back in the Hidden Cloud Village:

The Fourth Raikage was sweating bullets.

Beside him, Mabui anxiously said:

"Lord Raikage! You absolutely must NOT accept the duel!"

Raikage A: "Mabui, tell me the truth—if I've got a 100% hit-rate Thousand Years of Death... do I stand a chance against Madara?"

Mabui panicked.

Was Raikage A really considering going through with it?

"Lord Raikage! Please, for the sake of the village—don't be impulsive!"

Raikage A: "So what you're saying is... I've got zero chance. Is that it?"

Mabui: "That's not what I meant! It's just that... our village really needs you."

Raikage A: "Got it. As the Raikage, I must put the village first."

With that—

The Fourth Raikage chose "No."

Then, everyone in the chat received the system message:

[System Announcement]: Uchiha Madara chose "Yes"; Fourth Raikage A chose "No." The duel arrangement is canceled.

The crowd didn't even have time to roast Raikage A.

Because—

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Madara were already feeling disappointed.

Kaguya: So... even if the system arranges a duel, both parties must agree.

Madara: Tch. All that hype for nothing. What a coward.

Suddenly—

Another announcement appeared.

[System Announcement]: Due to Fourth Raikage A's serious instigation of a fight, followed by refusal to accept a duel, he will now receive a RANDOM PUNISHMENT. The punishment will be drawn by Uchiha Madara.

Pure Land:

A spinning punishment wheel appeared in front of Uchiha Madara.

Instantly, he understood:

He had to spin the wheel, and wherever it landed, that would be the punishment Raikage A must endure—publicly.

Madara glanced at the options on the wheel...

And a wicked grin bloomed across his face.

"Hehehe... every single one of these punishments—I want to see them all!"

"Alright then—let's spin this thing!"

With a loud laugh, he spun the wheel.

It slowly came to a stop.

Madara's grin widened.

At the same time—

Everyone in the chat received another announcement:

[System Announcement]: Uchiha Madara has completed the draw. In 3 minutes, Fourth Raikage A will receive his punishment in front of everyone!
