Chapter 3: Iron Fist of Justice Descends from Heaven, Violently Beating the Eight-Tails!
Two equally domineering auras collided with a boom in the canyon, the whipped-up fierce winds blowing crushed stones everywhere.
The Hidden Cloud ninjas were breathless under the pressure of this aura, their faces full of shock.
"That guy... who is he?"
A ninja stared fixedly at the man who had suddenly appeared, his voice trembling.
The man wore a strange white coat, with a word they didn't recognize written in black ink on the back.
Justice?
What organization's emblem was this?
"I don't know, never seen him before!"
"But... he's so strong! Just standing there makes me feel like I'm going to suffocate!"
The look on Dodai's face was solemn to the extreme as he tightly clenched his fists.
This man who suddenly appeared was definitely a top-tier powerhouse!
His strength was probably not below Lord Raikage's!
Just as everyone was in a tense standoff, Garp moved.
He completely ignored the gazes of those small fries, his sight firmly locked onto the Third Raikage.
"BWAHAHAHA!"
Garp's wild laughter resounded through the canyon.
"What are we waiting for!"
"Let's get started!"
He grinned, and then, under everyone's horrified gaze, he fiercely stomped on the air!
Bang!
The air let out a muffled explosion.
Garp's body rose from the ground, as if stepping on invisible stairs, walking step by step toward the Third Raikage at the other end of the canyon!
"What?!"
"He... he's walking in the sky?!"
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"
The Cloud ninjas' eyes nearly popped out, their jaws dropping to the ground.
They had never seen such an outrageous way of moving!
However, something even more outrageous was yet to come.
Garp's arrogant behavior completely enraged the rampaging Eight-Tails, Gyuki!
ROAR!!!
A deafening roar exploded.
The Eight-Tails' mountain-sized body turned violently, its scarlet eyes locking dead onto the tiny black dot in mid-air.
It swung an incredibly thick octopus tentacle; the tip of that tentacle was surprisingly a clenched giant fist!
Whoosh!
The giant fist carried a vicious wind that tore through the air, smashing ruthlessly toward Garp!
The power of this punch was enough to raze a small mountain to the ground!
"That idiot!"
Seeing this scene, a Cloud ninja couldn't help but blurt out.
"To dare be so arrogant in front of the rampaging Eight-Tails!"
"Does he really think he's Lord Raikage?!"
"He's dead! He's absolutely dead!"
The surrounding ninjas all revealed gloating expressions.
In their view, this intruder who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth would be smashed into meat paste in the next second.
However.
In mid-air, facing that sky-blotting giant fist, the smile on Garp's face only grew brighter.
"BWAHAHAHA!"
"A disobedient big octopus!"
Not only did he not dodge, but he actually rushed up to meet that massive fist!
He also raised his own right arm and clenched his fist.
That fist, compared to the Eight-Tails' giant fist, was as tiny as a grain of sand.
But the moment he clenched his fist, a terrifying aura erupted from his body!
"Get lost!"
Garp bellowed.
He threw a punch!
The next second.
The tiny fist and the giant fist collided brutally in mid-air!
DOOOOM!!!
A muffled impact that seemed to resound through heaven and earth exploded!
A ring of visible white airwaves blasted out from the point of impact, spreading madly in all directions!
The entire Ravine of Clouds and Lightning trembled violently!
On the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, countless huge rocks were shaken loose, rumbling as they smashed into the abyss below!
The Cloud ninjas were blown pell-mell by this airwave, their faces written with terror.
When they finally managed to steady themselves and looked up into mid-air, everyone froze.
The mocking expressions solidified on their faces, turning into a horror as if they had seen a ghost.
In mid-air.
That mountain-like Eight-Tails, Gyuki, had actually been forcibly beaten back by that tiny punch!
Its massive body lost its balance in the air, stumbling back over a dozen meters before smashing heavily onto the ground!
Boom!
The earth wailed!
"H-How is that possible?!"
A Cloud ninja trembled, pointing at the figure in mid-air still maintaining his punching posture, stammering as he spoke.
"He... he beat back the Eight-Tails... with one punch?"
The whole world fell silent.
Only the pained roars of the Eight-Tails and the heavy breathing of the Cloud ninjas remained.
Even the Third Raikage, who had been waiting in full battle array, had his pupils shrink suddenly at this moment.
He stared dead at Garp's smoking fist, his eyes containing not just solemnity, but a fervent fighting intent.
This man...
Was strong!
Ridiculously strong!
The Third Raikage's pupils shrank to the size of needle tips.
He stared dead at Garp, the fervent fighting intent belonging to the strong in his eyes almost boiling over!
This guy...
No chakra flow.
Didn't use any ninjutsu.
Just pure physical strength!
Pure to the extreme, unreasonably brutal physical strength!
Could beat back the rampaging Eight-Tails with one punch!
What terrifying taijutsu was this!
"BWAHAHAHA!"
Garp landed back on the ground, the earth beneath his feet cracking from the impact.
He shook his slightly numb fist, the excitement on his face increasing instead of decreasing.
"Not bad! Not bad!"
"This world of yours is a bit interesting!"
He completely ignored the Eight-Tails that was getting back up, his burning gaze looking at the Third Raikage.
This dark-skinned macho man was his target!
"Dodai!"
The Third Raikage suddenly shouted.
"Lord Raikage!"
Dodai quickly responded.
"Take everyone and retreat immediately!"
The Raikage's order was resolute and allowed no doubt.
"Barrier Team!"
He roared again, his voice like rolling thunder.
"Here!"
Several ninjas wearing special uniforms stepped out from the crowd.
"Immediately activate the highest level barrier and completely seal off... the entire Ravine of Clouds and Lightning!"
"What?!"
As soon as these words came out, all the Cloud ninjas were stunned.
"Lord Raikage! You can't!"
Dodai was the first to rush up, anxiety written all over his face.
"If we seal the canyon, then you and the Eight-Tails, plus that mysterious man..."
"Shut up!"
The Third Raikage turned his head sharply, his eyes as sharp as unsheathed blades.
"This battle is not something you can interfere in!"
"Staying here, you will only throw away your lives in vain!"
"This is an order!"
His imposing manner was like a mountain, pressing down on Dodai so hard he couldn't say another word.
The Barrier Team ninjas looked at each other and hesitated no longer.
"Yes!"
Their hands formed seals rapidly.
"Four Violet Flames Formation!"
Hum!
Four pillars of purple energy shot into the sky, rising from the four corners of the canyon.
Immediately after, giant purple energy walls emitting an ominous aura rose quickly from four directions and closed over the canyon.
Boom!
The entire Ravine of Clouds and Lightning was completely turned into a giant cage isolated from the world!
Outside the cage, the Cloud ninjas looked at the purple barrier that cut off everything, their faces full of worry and fear.
Inside the cage.
The Third Raikage slowly turned around, facing Garp again.
The Lightning Armor on his body crackled, the electric light even more violent than before.
"Now, no one will disturb us."
His voice was low and deep, full of uncontrollable fighting intent.
Garp grinned and laughed loudly, clenching his fists, his knuckles cracking like popping beans.
"BWAHAHAHA!"
"Just what I wanted!"
Their gazes collided in the air, sparking invisible fire.
And behind them, the Eight-Tails Gyuki, dazed from the punch, struggled to its feet.
Its scarlet eyes locked dead onto the two tiny humans, its angry roar once again resounding through the entire canyon.
ROAR!!!
The stage for a three-way melee had been completely set.
