The Third Raikage's eyes widened, feeling somewhat confused.
"What's going on? Did he run away?"
The Third Kazekage was somewhat surprised.
He was just acting like he wanted to fight to the death a moment ago, so why did he slip away in the blink of an eye?
Is that all the Captain of the Uzushigakure amounts to?
But at that moment, the Third Raikage's pupils constricted violently, and the hairs on his body stood straight up!
A biting wind from a blade came from behind him!
Pfft—
Katen Kyōkotsu plunged into the Third Raikage's abdomen with a squelch!
The sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.
But soon, the Third Raikage's body turned into lightning and vanished.
Lightning Clone.
"Good reaction."
Shunsui Kyoraku slowly rose from the shadows and complimented the Third Raikage.
But it was clearly his current state that most grabbed the attention of the others.
He actually launched an attack from the shadows?!
What kind of ability is this?!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed slightly.
A secret technique of the Nara clan?
No, the Nara clan can only control shadows, but Shunsui Kyoraku's ability allows him to dive into the shadows themselves.
Could it be...
Is the ability of Shunsui Kyoraku's Zanpakuto to control shadows?
The Third Raikage's eyes narrowed, a few cold beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead.
If he hadn't been alert just now, he likely would have been in serious trouble.
This kind of ability from the Uzushigakure is truly bizarre!
Shunsui Kyoraku emerged from the shadows, shouldered his swords, and said slowly, "The ability of my Katen Kyōkotsu..."
"It's turning children's games into reality. The rules of the game are set by Katen Kyōkotsu, and anyone who enters her Spiritual Pressure range must abide by them."
Shunsui Kyoraku chuckled softly and said, "Including me."
These words sent a shock through everyone else.
Shunsui Kyoraku lifted Katen Kyōkotsu and said with a smile, "Although this is their charming point, it's not pleasant to be manipulated so freely all the time."
As he finished speaking, Shunsui Kyoraku flicked his blade and plunged it straight into the Third Raikage's shadow.
The Third Raikage's heart jolted, and he immediately leaped upwards!
Beneath his feet, a sharp blade extended from the shadow!
Before he could even sigh in relief, Shunsui Kyoraku leaped high into the air, holding his twin swords, and slashed down!
Bang!
The Third Raikage, clad in his Lightning Release Armor, blocked Shunsui Kyoraku's twin swords with his arms across his chest.
His body was pressed to the ground by immense force, his knees trembling slightly, showing a tendency to buckle!
How is this possible!
The Third Raikage roared in his heart; he was the Raikage, famous throughout the Ninja World for his physical prowess!
To be unable to get up, pinned down by sheer strength?!
Ōnoki and the others were also shocked.
They were all aware of the Third Raikage's intelligence.
His most formidable physical attributes were renowned throughout the Ninja World!
But what was happening now?
The Third Raikage was actually being pinned down?!
Could it be that Shunsui Kyoraku's strength was even greater than the Third Raikage's!?
Shunsui Kyoraku chuckled lightly and said, "Zanki."
"The one who stands higher wins."
The Third Raikage's heart jolted!
What does that mean?!
Could this situation be because Shunsui Kyoraku was standing higher than him just now?
How could that be! What kind of strange ability is this!!
The Ninja World shouldn't allow such an incredible existence!!
"Strongest Lightning Armor!!"
The Third Raikage roared, the lightning on his body flared, and the blue electric arcs began to turn black!
Black Lightning!
The Third Raikage's unique lightning!
The Black Lightning instantly erupted, pushing Shunsui Kyoraku's twin swords away!
Then he leaped up, diving down from above, as if holding lightning in his hands!
"Since you said you also have to follow the game, then the one who stands higher wins, which means it applies to you too!"
Shunsui Kyoraku's eyes narrowed slightly; as expected of a village's Kage, his battle intuition was sharp.
