Beating Up Raiga Kurosuki
Chapter 123 Beating Up Raiga Kurosuki
It has only been five years since the end of the Third Shinobi World War. As one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Raiga Kurosuki is a renowned elite Jonin in the entire Hidden Mist Village.
When he faced Konoha, the ninjas of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans left the deepest impression on him.
The Hyuga clan's Byakugan allows them to see through the Hidden Mist Techniques commonly used by Hidden Mist Ninjas, perfectly countering the Hidden Mist Ninjas' tactical advantage.
While the Sharingan of Uchiha clan ninjas can be interfered with by the Hidden Mist Technique, their powerful dynamic capture ability allows for reaction speeds far exceeding those of ordinary ninjas.
Even worse, once you make eye contact with a Sharingan user, you will be controlled by their genjutsu!
Even breaking free from the genjutsu for just a moment is a fatal flaw on the battlefield! Countless Hidden Mist ninjas have lost their lives because of this!
"Damn it! Are they Konoha ninjas?" As the thick fog rose, Raiga Kurosuki, hiding within it, frowned and wondered if his men had recently taken down some merchant from the Land of Fire, which had attracted Konoha ninjas to their doorstep.
As is well known, among the five great ninja villages, Konoha Village is the most fond of accepting all kinds of requests. Even merchants and nobles from neighboring countries will ask Konoha ninjas to give them missions.
For example, after the Third Shinobi World War, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind repeatedly reduced the funding for Sunagakure. The Daimyo, nobles, and merchants of the Land of Wind entrusted a large number of missions to Konoha, which led to a severe economic crisis in Sunagakure and forced the village to adopt a strategy of building an elite force.
Therefore, it was not unexpected that Raiga Kurosuki would encounter Konoha ninjas, but he did not expect that they would send Uchiha ninjas.
"Wait..." Raiga Kurosuki suddenly became alert.
He recalled that he hadn't seen the other person wearing a Konoha headband or a Konoha Jonin vest.
Moreover, the people he led to surround were clearly ninjas from the Star Village.
As for why the ninjas from Hoshigakure would appear in the Land of Rivers, which is far from the Land of Bears, Raiga Kurosuki, who had been hiding in the Aloe Vera Gold Mine for a long time and had never left his home, was unaware of the changes outside.
On the other side, after seeing the opponent use the Hidden Mist Technique, Uchiha Hikaru instructed Natsume behind him: "Go and support Hotaru and the others, and take care of their ninja. I will deal with Raiga Kurosuki personally."
"Yes, sir!" Xia Ri, who had been worried about her husband, felt as if she had been granted a pardon and left in an instant.
After summer had passed, Uchiha Hikaru stood with his arms crossed, his Sharingan glowing red in the mist, and coldly mocked, "Is all you do, Kurosuki Raiga, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, hide in the shadows?"
"Kid, you're not a Konoha ninja?" Raiga Kurosuki's voice came from all directions, and with the fog concealing it, it was elusive, making it difficult for Hikaru Uchiha to determine the other party's true location.
"So what if it isn't? I'm only here to crush your Kurosuki clan and make you submit obediently." Uchiha Hikaru's Sharingan swirled as he scanned his surroundings.
"Hahaha!" Raiga Kurosuki's maniacal laughter echoed in the mist: "So the Uchiha clan has a rogue ninja now? Interesting, very interesting. If I weren't going to hold a funeral for you, I would really like to have a good chat with you about how you defected."
Raiga Kurosuki's favorite thing to do is to hold funerals for others and listen to their life stories, especially for people he knows well.
"It's alright, once I've beaten you down, we'll have plenty of time to talk." Uchiha Hikaru pondered how to find the enemy.
Suddenly, several lightning bolts shot out from the ground, striking towards Uchiha Hikaru like silver whips.
Thunder Burial - Feast of Thunder!
Another move from Raida Kiba.
Instead of retreating, Uchiha Hikaru leaped forward, heading towards the direction from which the lightning snake was attacking.
Forming hand seals in the air.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Claw Red!" Uchiha Hikaru first spat out a large mouthful of flames, then threw out more than a dozen shuriken.
The shuriken struck the fireball and dispersed it, each shuriken imbued with fire-style chakra.
The blazing fireballs and shuriken intertwined to form a rain of fire that shot towards the direction from which the lightning snake was attacking.
ding ding ding-
Several crisp metallic clanging sounds rang out from the thick fog.
While blocking several incoming shuriken, Kurosugi Raiga also revealed his position. He simply raised his Raiga sword, Kiba, with both hands, crossing them in the air to guide the lightning. Boom! Boom!
Two thick bolts of lightning crashed down, striking the tip of the Thunder Blade Kiba and infusing the ninja sword with the power of lightning.
"Ninjutsu: Lightning Armor!"
Countless bolts of lightning, guided by the Thunder Blade Fang, adhered to the body of the Black Hoshino Raiga, forming a thunder armor that combined offense and defense. Amidst the swirling electric light, sharp flashes and thunderclaps resounded.
At this moment, Raiga Kurotsuchi, clad in lightning armor, resembled a thunder god descending to earth.
"Oh? Interesting." After landing, Uchiha Hikaru looked at Kurosuki Raiga, who was unleashing various Lightning Release ninjutsu under the power of the Lightning Blade Kiba, and clicked his tongue.
As expected of an elite Jonin among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, upon realizing that the opponent was a ninja from the Uchiha clan, he immediately created distance and used the Hidden Mist Technique to disrupt the opponent's Sharingan, while simultaneously launching a long-range attack with Lightning Release ninjutsu.
The skillful use of multiple tactics, preventing the Uchiha from getting close, clearly came at a considerable cost during the Third Shinobi World War.
If it's an Uchiha Jonin with only three tomoe Sharingan, it might actually be quite troublesome.
However, Uchiha Hikaru is no ordinary Uchiha!
Gollum~
An untimely rumbling in his abdomen caused Uchiha Hikaru's ears to turn slightly red.
"I'll see how far you can hide!"
Uchiha Hikaru formed hand seals, his eyes serious.
"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"
A massive amount of Fire Release chakra surged from Uchiha Hikaru's mouth, forming a towering wave of fire that hurtled towards Kurosuki Raiga!
The towering waves of fire surged like a tsunami, evaporating all the mist in their path and tearing a path through the fog.
Seeing the terrifying wave of fire several meters high, even Raiga Kurosuki was shocked.
He had seen Uchiha ninjas use this move before.
But the massive, surging wave of fire far surpassed any fire-style ninjutsu he had ever seen!
'As expected, those who can defect are no ordinary ninjas.' Kurosuki Raiga raised his Raikou once more.
Countless bolts of lightning coalesced, swirling and dancing in the air, eventually forming a red-eyed lightning dragon.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon's Tornado!" Raiga Kurosuki roared.
As the lightning blade swung down, the ferocious lightning dragon roared and crashed into the towering wave of fire!
boom!
The earth-shattering explosion caused by the clash of ninja techniques destroyed countless ruins of surrounding villages and forests.
In the firelight, Raiga Kurosuki, having blocked the attack, wore a smug expression: "Uchiha, but..."
Before the words were finished, a dark red bone claw broke through the flames and smoke from the shock of the ninjutsu explosion and slammed down!
"What?!" Raiga Kurosuki, who had never seen such a move before, was shocked. He quickly circulated his Lightning Release chakra, turned the Lightning Armor up to its maximum power, and raised his Lightning Blade, Kiba, high in an attempt to block it.
A red bone claw descended from the sky and struck the head of the Black Hoe Raiga, but it was not harmed at all by the blade of the Raiga Blade and the Thunder Armor. Instead, it slammed Raiga hard into the ground.
cough--
Raiga Kurosuki coughed up a mouthful of blood, looked up in disbelief at the Uchiha girl who walked closer from the mist.
The girl was enveloped in a massive, dark red half-body skeleton, forming a near-perfect defense. The skeleton on her right hand extended forward by more than twenty meters, forcefully shortening the distance between the two and causing Hei Chu Lei Ya to feel dizzy and cough up blood.
The dark red bone claws were covered with a layer of dark red flames, which were actually scorching his lightning armor!
