Chapter 1058: Lin: That's Right, I'm a Master Crafter!
Chapter 1058: Lin: That's Right, I'm a Master Crafter!
The Tailed Beast Ball is almost the strongest attack of the tailed beasts. A mixture of chakra in an 8:2 ratio can effortlessly level an area of several hundred meters in an instant. This is why tailed beasts are called weapons of war.
However, in the face of such a powerful Tailed Beast Ball, the Third Raikage directly countered with the Hell Thrust, the strongest spear technique.
A massive mushroom cloud rose, and the ground around it was completely shattered, but the Third Raikage emerged from the smoke as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Samui and the other Cloud Village ninjas felt their hearts sink to the bottom.
To be honest, apart from the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee, and Yugito, no one in the Hidden Cloud Village could use a technique stronger than the Tailed Beast Ball just now.
Yet, such a powerful technique, when it hit the Third Raikage head-on, left him completely unscathed. Could they really still hope to win this battle?
Would they have to resort to the same method that led to the Third Raikage's death in the past, using thousands of ninjas to overwhelm him?
But even that method seems impossible now.
Back then, the Third Raikage was exhausted after fighting to the last. But now, the Third Raikage is in the Eternal Truth state, which grants infinite chakra and no fatigue.
In other words, the Third Raikage is now a true war machine. He could fight for days on end, and without sealing him, he would never stop.
Samui bit her lip, her face filled with the grim determination of a hard-fought battle.
As a disciple of Killer Bee and trusted by the Fourth Raikage, she had been given this important command position.
Even if she couldn't defeat the Third Raikage, she had to do her best to stop him and buy enough time for the Fourth Raikage.
With this resolve, Samui quickly drew her short sword and imbued the blade with lightning chakra, then charged at the Third Raikage.
As one of the commanders of the Hidden Cloud Village, she had to minimize the casualties among her fellow ninjas. Even knowing she was no match for him, she had to face him head-on.
"Cloud Stream Instant Kill!"
As a disciple of Killer Bee, Samui was not only a high-ranking ninja of the Hidden Cloud Village but also an exceptionally skilled swordsman.
She had thought that even if she couldn't defeat the Third Raikage, she could at least buy some time.
However, when she charged at the Third Raikage and he targeted her, using the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of her, Samui realized just how great the gap between them was!
The lightning chakra that stimulated her body cells, giving her speed comparable to the Fourth Raikage's Body Flicker Technique, the Lightning Armor that could withstand a Tailed Beast Ball without a scratch, and the Hell Thrust, known as the strongest spear technique.
The Third Raikage truly lived up to his reputation as an unparalleled existence...
"Clang!"
With a sharp metallic snap, Samui watched in horror as her refined short sword was shattered by the Third Raikage's Four Piercing Fingers!
As her sword broke, the Four Piercing Fingers, still crackling with lightning, continued their momentum and thrust toward her head.
As the palm in her field of vision grew larger and larger, Samui felt for the first time how close death was to her.
Even her refined short blade had been shattered in a single strike. If her head were to be hit by this blow, she would undoubtedly meet her end.
"Damn it, if a ninja has to die, I really hope it's in a cooler way..."
Just as Four Piercing Fingers were about to pierce Samui's head, a hint of struggle appeared in the Third Raikage's eyes. However, being in the Eternal Truth state, he was unable to control his actions.
"Instant Blast——————!"
But just as Samui thought she might not escape today, a wave of energy surged, and a figure suddenly appeared beside the Third Raikage.
With a punch that arrived before the figure, the blow struck the Third Raikage's temple!
The strike, which produced a sonic boom in the air, not only instantly created a vacuum around it but also sent the Third Raikage, who had withstood many attacks without moving, flying out like a meteor!
Samui, who had already closed her eyes to await death, opened them to see the sudden appearance of a white-haired ninja and the Third Raikage flying away. Her expression was filled with astonishment.
Before Samui could say anything, she saw the white-haired ninja burst with a startling chakra aura, shattering the ground with his feet as he pursued the Third Raikage.
"We are ninja from Konohagakure, here to support you. I am Haruno Lin, and he is Uzumaki Tobi. The one who just attacked is our teacher, Nagato Senju."
Not long after Yecheng caught up with the Third Raikage, Lin and Obito also landed beside Samui and explained.
"Three-Tails Jinchuriki, the Uzumaki clan, and Yakaze. So, the Tailed Beast Ball earlier was..."
"Yes, it was me. I didn't expect the Third Raikage's Lightning Armor to be so powerful, so I had to leave it to Yecheng-sensei to handle."
Upon learning that Yecheng and his team were reinforcements from Konoha, Samui ordered the other Cloud Hidden ninja to stand down and prepared to command her forces to support Yecheng.
But before she could finish her sentence, Lin interrupted, "Miss Samui, if possible, I hope you can have the Cloud Hidden ninja stay away from the battle area between Yecheng-sensei and the Third Raikage."
"But the Third Raikage has the strongest defense with his Lightning Armor, the strongest attack with Hell Thrust, and his speed is also incredible. Even Konoha's Yakaze, in a one-on-one fight..."
Konoha's Yakaze was well-known to Samui, and she was aware of his strength.
However, the Third Raikage had once defeated the Eight-Tails Ox Demon in a single battle and now possessed the Eternal Truth's immortality. Samui felt that Konoha's confidence in this situation was a bit overblown.
"No need to worry. This is Yecheng-sensei's decision. While the Third Raikage's Taijutsu might be unparalleled, so is my teacher's!
The record of single-handedly suppressing a tailed beast is impressive, but over a decade ago, my teacher could already treat Isobu like a son."
Isobu: Lin, why do you have to bring up my past? Don't I have any dignity?
Faced with Lin's confidence, Samui couldn't argue much. As Killer Bee's disciple, she respected her teacher but wasn't blind.
However, the renowned "Sanbi's Lin" in the ninja world seemed to have a different perspective...
