The reason the Fourth Raikage came here alone was, of course, Obito's doing.
After personally framing Naruto, he deliberately had a White Zetsu transform into his own appearance, leaving clues along the way.
Unfortunately, Raikage arrived a step too late. If he had intervened earlier, he might have briefly delayed Naruto.
At least, he won't leave in such a ruthless manner.
Looking at the expressionless Naruto before him, Raikage had a smile on his face, but he was thinking about Mabui and the others, who were severely injured and undergoing treatment, and his anger grew increasingly intense.
As the Fourth Raikage's personal guards and secretary, their relationship was naturally very close.
In the past, whenever Raikage wanted to do something impulsive, these few would always stand in front, persuading him with earnest words to change his mind.
But now, they were temporarily unable to speak, so no one else in Kumogakure could stop Raikage A.
-Oh, there was one more.
But that person was currently confined by Raikage in Unraikyo.
"Strong hostility. You're also from the Akatsuki-"
Naruto's monotone words were cut short by Raikage A's elbow strike.
[Lariat!]
He went straight for the decapitating kill move.
Don't be fooled by it just being an arm. After being enhanced by Lightning Release Chakra Mode, its power far surpassed ordinary sharp blades.
On the battlefield, Raikage had indeed used this move to sever many enemies' heads.
Bang!
"How come?"
Even amidst his burning rage, Raikage's face showed disbelief.
Originally, Raikage thought Naruto would use some Genjutsu again, turning into an illusion to dodge.
For that, he had prepared to immediately follow up with another attack.
But the reality was that his sure-kill move was blocked by this kid with just one hand.
Raikage could sense that the other party was using pure physical strength without any Chakra Enhancement like him.
He had only seen such terrifying physical prowess on his deceased father, the Third Raikage.
"An enemy, then."
After hearing these words, Raikage's vision blurred abruptly, followed by intense pain in his abdomen.
Boom!!
Raikage was sent flying back faster than before.
Naruto, however, stood frowning in place, looking at his palm.
'Conqueror's Haki… couldn't be used.'
'Why?'
He tried Armament Haki and Observation Haki… While both could be used, they were subject to varying degrees of 'interference'.
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Raikage's mouth, but the lightning around him intensified. Even his usual slicked-back hair now stood on end.
This was the [Strongest Lightning Armor]… the maximum output mode of Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
He leaped high, and with his palm formed into a blade, he chopped downward.
Don't be fooled by Raikage's moves seeming ordinary… their actual lethality was terrifying.
The move [Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop] alone had once severed the Eight-Tails' horn.
Its sharpness was on a completely different level from the previous Lariat.
In response, Naruto raised his right hand flat.
Unlike Raikage's Chakra Enhancement, a transparent blade edge truly appeared on Naruto's palm.
Clang!
Their hand blades collided, emitting the sound of metal clashing.
Unlike the furious and ferocious Raikage, Naruto didn't even frown.
"Guillotine Drop!"
Seeing his hand blade blocked, Raikage decisively switched to another move.
Using Naruto's force to flip backward, he came down with an axe kick.
But Naruto's speed seemed even faster than his, the blue lightning warrior.
He clenched his fist, leaving only one finger pointed at the descending Raikage.
[Sage Art: Shigan.]
Without even a sound of tearing air, a bullet composed of Senjutsu Chakra pierced through Raikage's shoulder first.
Even a body tempered for years couldn't withstand such a highly penetrating strike.
"Cough-"
Although his shoulder was injured, Raikage's 'battle axe' still came down, heavily striking Naruto's shoulder.
Bang!
After the strike, even the ground beneath Naruto's feet showed extensive spiderweb-like cracks.
But Raikage felt as if his foot had struck a solid rock wall, his entire leg going numb.
Naruto didn't dodge this attack because it wasn't necessary.
Because at this moment, a layer of white Chakra-formed outer clothing appeared on his body.
"Impossible! This is my Lightning Release Chakra Mode?!"
Compared to being inferior in direct combat, Naruto learning his Signature Jutsu in just a few seconds shocked Raikage even more.
Lightning Attribute Chakra could activate muscles and cells, enhancing the user's physical strength and reaction speed to varying degrees.
As mentioned earlier, during Naruto's twenty-plus years in the One Piece World, he had successfully mastered the other four basic Chakra Nature Transformations besides Wind Release.
In other words, he also knew Lightning Release.
And not just any Lightning Release.
This was Lightning Release Chakra Mode under Sage Art.
Grabbing Raikage's calf with a backhand, Naruto exerted force with his arm, throwing the other upward, then leaped up himself at an even faster speed.
"Damn it! Don't even think about it…"
Raikage, who was thrown into the air, stimulated his limbs with lightning, adjusting his posture to counterattack Naruto.
But Naruto's attack was faster.
An elbow strike solidly hit Raikage A, and the next second, he crashed back to the ground at an even faster speed.
Boom!
This time, not only the ground shattered, but the surrounding trees and houses were also affected.
Raikage was entirely 'embedded' into the earth and rocks, his arm along with half his body completely numb.
"Not a bad ability."
Naruto landed slowly. Though his words praised the Raikage's Jutsu, his face remained expressionless.
Sage Art: Lightning Release Chakra Mode had fewer side effects compared to Body Revival Technique and the Eight Gates, making it quite suitable for regular use.
"Since you initiated the attack, it means you're mentally prepared to be killed, right?"
Suddenly, a giant octopus tentacle attacked from the side, smashing toward Naruto.
Naruto seemed to have anticipated this sudden assault, leisurely raising his palm before him.
The two crossed paths… Naruto's hand remained a hand, but the octopus tentacle was cleanly severed into two.
The cut was smooth and even, showing considerable sword skills.
"You idiot, you bastard! If you hurt my brother, I'll grill you like octopus skewers! Yo!"
Naruto and Raikage's gazes simultaneously turned toward the source of the voice.
The person was a dark-skinned Ninja wearing combat gear, a Kumogakure's forehead protector, sunglasses, and carrying seven swords.
Naruto easily discovered the other party's true identity from his Chakra.
At the same time, Raikage exclaimed in disbelief.
"B! What are you doing here?!"
'Shouldn't he be in Unraikyo?'
"Stupid brother! Chasing alone! Almost got killed, Killer B here to help! Yo!"
Hearing his brother's unreliable way of speaking, even beaten so miserably, veins bulged on Raikage's forehead.
"Idiot! You're no match for this kid!"
Unfortunately, B wasn't the type to listen to his brother.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly followed him here.
To be honest, B felt incredulous when he saw Raikage being defeated head-on by Naruto in the area he was best at.
In his heart, his elder brother had always been immensely powerful.
But now, what he felt more was anger toward Naruto for injuring Raikage.
Raikage and B were an inseparable combo, so harming Raikage was harming him.
Knowing Naruto's strength, B didn't underestimate him. He directly communicated with the Eight-Tails, Gyuki, inside him, and the next moment, the Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak draped over him.
Six tails directly emerged from his back, his aura rapidly soaring as he charged at Naruto.
Naruto stood still, watching B thoughtfully.
