Chapter 31

5 Minutes

As these words were spoken, everyone stared intently.

As the lightning dissipated, an elderly man with dark skin and a long beard stood proudly with his arms crossed.

He had blond hair that draped over his shoulders, a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his chest, and looked very rude and irritable.

This man is none other than the father of the Fourth A, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure, the ultimate powerhouse known as the "Strongest Spear" and the "Strongest Shield"—the Third A!

"Father, what brings you here?"

After seeing who it was, the fourth-generation Ai couldn't help but ask.

In his view, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure was rarely seen unless there was something important to do.

The battle here has only been going on for a short while, so why is my father here?

"I received intelligence about the troubles facing the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails today, and it seems the intelligence was indeed accurate!"

The Third Raikage glanced at the Fourth A indifferently and continued speaking;

"You guys have really disappointed me. These two kids, and the three of you couldn't even take them down..."

"It seems I've been too lenient with you all..."

Upon hearing this, Killer Bee and the fourth generation A were instantly embarrassed. They were scolded so harshly that they couldn't find any reason to defend themselves.

Fengtian looked at the Third Raikage who had just appeared not far away, a solemn look flashing deep in his eyes.

The three Raikage before us are extremely powerful, with their attack and defense at the top level in the entire ninja world.

Putting everything else aside, with his powerful physique and the added enhancement of the [Thunder Armor], even if Fengtian attacked him at will, he would have no chance of breaking through the opponent's defenses!

"The Third Raikage has arrived, so Sasori's side should be getting busy too..."

Fengtian murmured to himself, the entire operation currently falling within his plan, including the arrival of the Third Raikage...

The next moment, Zhishui appeared beside Fengtian, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

"How are you feeling? Do you need to rest?"

Fengtian looked at Zhishui with concern, his words revealing a hint of worry.

"I'm alright, it's just that my eyes seem unable to withstand the high-intensity combat..."

Zhi Shui spoke softly, revealing a hint of helplessness.

"Then, can you do me a favor?"

"you say."

"There's a kitten that's really bothering me right now. Its presence makes it impossible for me to fight as I please..."

"How can I help you, Fengtian?"

"Just like we agreed before, I need you to stall for five minutes, no matter what method you use!"

"In five minutes, everything here will come to an end..."

After hearing Fengtian's extremely serious words, Zhishui nodded heavily. He knew that the most crucial part of the whole plan was whether he could endure those incredibly difficult five minutes!

He had no choice but to ensure the plan's success!

"I'm leaving everything to you..."

Fengtian spoke with a heavy expression, and then used [Reversing Cause and Effect] once again to restore Zhishui to its peak state.

Then, with a helpless sigh, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and Fengtian's figure disappeared from the battlefield, directly entering the [Divine Might Space].

That's all he can do for now; the rest is up to fate...

At that moment, the Third Raikage, the Fourth Raikage, and Killer Bee in his Eight-Tails form all turned their gazes toward Shisui, who was not far away.

They were not puzzled by Fengtian's departure. According to the Eight-Tailed Gyūki's deduction, Fengtian had simply entered a strange space with a time limit!

Although we don't know why he's hiding, it doesn't matter. As long as we take down Shisui in front of us, Fengtian will definitely come back as time goes by!

Looking at the three men with unfriendly expressions, Shisui couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

There was no way around it; these three were the strongest in Kumogakure. Even though I was a renowned genius ninja, I was no match for them!

Judging from the speed of the Third Raikage just now, even if I use [Kotoamatsukami] now, there will only be one outcome.

That is, before it could even begin, it was interrupted by that unparalleled speed!

"Let's do it! There's no need to be soft-hearted when facing the enemy!"

As the Third Raikage finished speaking, apart from Killer Bee, the other two instantly transformed into bolts of lightning and swiftly headed towards Shisui!

"So fast!"

Shisui couldn't help but say, "It's fortunate that he activated the Mangekyou Sharingan from the very beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to track the opponent's movements!"

The Third Raikage and the Fourth Raikage, like two bolts of lightning, attacked from Shisui's left and right sides respectively.

Shisui swiftly turned, using the Body Flicker Technique to change position in a very short time, barely dodging the two's first attack.

But then, Killer Bee in his Eight-Tailed Gyūki form joined the battle, swinging his massive tail and smashing it down on Shisui with a thunderous roar.

Shisui felt a chill run down his spine. He knew he couldn't keep passively hiding like this.

He must find an opportunity to fight back; otherwise, if he is trapped by the three of them, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Kid, your Sharingan may be powerful, but it's futile against absolute strength!"

The Third Raikage's voice, like thunder, echoed across the battlefield.

Shisui did not answer; his eyes were fixed on the enemy before him, searching for a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, he noticed a flaw in the Third Raikage's attack—a tiny adjustment he had to make to maintain his balance while moving at high speed.

Shisui seized the opportunity, his figure flashing once more, appearing in the Third Raikage's blind spot. He quickly formed hand seals, preparing to unleash his ultimate technique.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Shisui let out a low shout, and countless balls of flame, like phoenix feathers, flew out from his palm and rushed towards the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage snorted coldly, shifted his body to the side, and easily dodged the attack of flames.

But at that moment, Shisui suddenly appeared behind him, his short sword flashing with cold light, aiming straight for his vital point.

"snort!"

The Third Raikage snorted coldly; he hadn't expected Shisui to launch a surprise attack at this moment.

However, at that moment, the fourth generation Ai suddenly appeared behind Shisui, grabbed his shoulder, and threw him away violently.

Shisui tumbled several times in the air before barely managing to steady himself.

"As an enemy, I admire your courage, but I also think you're incredibly foolish!"

"If you don't have any other means, then this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

The Fourth Raikage couldn't help but speak up, and then he and the Third Raikage decided to no longer hold back.

Then, their arms simultaneously crackled with dazzling lightning, carrying an extremely pure killing intent, as they charged towards Shisui one after the other...
