Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　The future Fourth Raikage arrived at the mountain peak just in time to witness his father being sent flying by a hammer, crashing through two mountain peaks.

　He froze for a moment, his face showing shock.

　How could this be?! Someone could blast his father away? His father's strength is invincible! Who could possibly smash him away and then dare to come here? All the Cloud Ninja watching this scene looked at each other in disbelief. No one believed such a thing; it was simply a joke! In the hearts of the Cloud Ninja, the Third Raikage was an invincible figure! Just like Hashirama Senju in the hearts of the Konoha Ninja, they were both figures of faith.

　Even the Cloud Ninja believed that after Hashirama Senju's death, the Third Raikage was the strongest ninja in the world.

　After all, who could withstand the Eight-Tails' power with their bare hands? The mountain peak was smoking, making it difficult to see the Third Raikage's condition for the time being.

　However, the smoke quickly dissipated! The Third Raikage's entire body was embedded in the mountainside, with rings of oval cracks appearing on his back.

　Upon seeing this, Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

　"Old man!"

　The future Fourth Raikage roared

　The Third Raikage, having finally noticed the arrival of his son and the village's ninjas, felt extremely aggrieved and gritted his teeth.

　With a whoosh, he forcibly pulled himself out of the mountainside and stood on the steep cliff face.

　The lightning that had vanished reappeared, and these bolts intertwined on its body, forming a deep blue lightning armor.

　This is the Cloud Ninja's secret Lightning Release technique, Lightning Armor! Only those who have mastered Lightning Release to an extremely high level can complete it.

　A smug smile appeared on the Third Raikage's face. His lightning armor had absorbed most of the damage; although he had crashed through two mountains, he had only sustained minor injuries.

　But the next moment, his smile vanished, and his stomach churned violently below his chest! "Ugh!"

　His pupils dilated several times, and he spat out a mouthful of deep red blood!

Chapter 377 Impotent Rage, The Strongest Spear

　This content was first published here (second update).

　Ugh! The Third Raikage, possessing an inhuman body, suddenly had his pupils dilate several times over and coughed up blood.

　The lightning armor on his body emitted a strange sound, as if it were tearing.

　The Third Raikage's eyes were fixed on his chest, his expression one of utter disbelief.

　The seemingly indestructible armor of lightning was developing cracks, and the cracks were spreading like a spider web.

　Of course, the crack did not spread throughout his body; it was limited to his chest, the spot where Ye Chen had just struck.

　"How can it be"

　The Third Raikage clutched his chest, the tearing pain inside his body growing increasingly intense.

　These cracks eventually take the form of vortexes, a kind of extreme, twisting force.

　Standing atop Cloud Thunder Gorge, Ye Chen remained calm and offered a rare explanation: "There is no absolute defense. Although your strength is not weak, your technique for generating force is still too superficial."

　My superhuman strength just now didn't act directly on your body, but rather penetrated through your armor and reached your internal organs.

　"Damn it, Konoha Rashad, you bastard!"

　The Fourth Raikage, with his fiery temper, clenched his fists and charged forward in a flash upon seeing his father being attacked! The Third Raikage tried to stop him, but it was too late! The pale blue arcs of electricity around the Third Raikage's body were identical to the Fourth Raikage's! However, in terms of speed and strength, the Third Raikage was far inferior. The current Fourth Raikage hadn't yet matured; he hadn't reached Kage level, and was at most a top-tier Jonin.

　In fact, in the Naruto world, there aren't such clear-cut restrictions on levels and realms.

　The strength levels among the titles Genin, Chunin, and Jonin are not so clearly defined.

　Because a sufficiently talented ninja, even a genin, can challenge a jonin! A ninja's strength is a comprehensive strength, involving many aspects! Kage level represents a true transformation in strength, capable of taking on hundreds or even thousands of opponents single-handedly.

　The Fourth Raikage was very fast, but in Ye Chen's eyes at this moment, he was only slightly faster than a tortoise.

　A slight smile played on his lips as he deftly sidestepped the attack.

　"He dodged it."

　The Fourth Raikage was surprised by his own confident attack.

　The next moment, his expression froze. A pitch-black iron fist instantly pressed against his face, and before he could even react, his body was slammed heavily to the ground.

　The Fourth Raikage felt as if his body had exploded, his mind went blank, his internal organs were in excruciating pain, he lost all strength, and he couldn't even stand up.

　What followed was an even more humiliating scene that the Fourth Raikage would likely never forget! Ye Chen's expression was cold; he placed one foot on the Fourth Raikage's face and said indifferently, "Who do you think you are, fighting any ninja?"

　"hateful!"

　The Fourth Raikage fought back fiercely, but his face was stepped on the entire time, and he couldn't break free.

　"Ai"

　Upon seeing the Raikage's son, the Cloud Ninja behind them were filled with righteous indignation, glaring angrily! They swarmed forward to attack! "Ryuo!"

　Ye Chen glanced at it indifferently, then swiftly threw a punch, striking the air! An invisible aura of dominance transformed into an invisible shockwave, slamming the Cloud Ninja away! In the blink of an eye, all the Cloud Ninja lay on the ground, writhing in agony.

　"He's incredibly strong!"

　Why am I so weak!

　"Konoha Rashad, you bastard!"

　The future Fourth Raikage's mind

　(1/2)

　A furious roar, eyes bulging with rage.

　On the second distant mountain peak, the Third Raikage sneered, a surge of anger rising within him.

　This was the first time in many years that he had been blasted away, the first time he had coughed up blood, and the first time his son had been bullied in front of him! And these bullies were even coming to their village! Did they even respect him, the Raikage?! "Konoha Rasetsu!"

　With a furious roar, the Third Raikage's body crackled with lightning more intensely than ever before! As if burning with blue flames, his seemingly ethereal lightning cloak materialized at that moment.

　Possessing incredibly terrifying defensive capabilities, coupled with his already powerful physical body, ordinary level-one ninjutsu can hardly harm him in the slightest.

　It was clear that the Third Raikage was unleashing his true power! That... terrifying surge of chakra was chilling to the bone.

　At the mountaintop, Ye Chen stood calmly in the wind, his face expressionless, his feet resting on the future Fourth Raikage.

　It didn't deliberately project a powerful aura, yet it inexplicably sent shivers down one's spine.

　Is this what a strong person is like?! Crackling sounds filled the air as the changes continued. The lightning on the Fourth Raikage flickered wildly, the deep blue arcs growing ever more intense, until finally turning black! Black lightning! And his previously disheveled yellow hair stood on end like a hedgehog! He looked exactly like a ninja version of a Super Saiyan! "Hell Thrust!"

　Four-fold skill!

　The Third Raikage unleashed his strongest attack, concentrating his chakra into his four 44-finger fingers, thus gaining immense offensive power.

　Not only did this technique break the Eight-Tails' horns, but also, after being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Third Raikage used this technique to break through the Allied Shinobi Forces' defensive ninjutsu, "Earth Release: Thousand-Mile Earth Flow Wall."

　And the defensive ninjutsu "Lava Release: Sticky Barrier" set up by the bloodline limit ninja Tsuchikage.

　Furthermore, the power of this technique increases as the number of fingers decreases.

　When this technique is enhanced to the point where only one finger remains, it is known as the strongest spear.

　Whoosh! In the next instant, the Third Raikage's figure, enveloped in lightning, suddenly transformed into a blur, charging towards Ye Chen.

　In his eyes, the Third Raikage's form had vanished; all that remained was a black bolt of lightning tearing through the void.

　Even with his eyesight, Ye Chen could hardly discern its trajectory! He immediately released his Observation Haki, creating an absolute detection field within a hundred meters of himself.

　And in terms of speed, Ye Chen believed he was second to none! "Superhuman strength"

　shave!"

　Boom! In the next instant, the ground beneath Ye Chen's feet suddenly shattered, and then Ye Chen flashed to the side, avoiding the Third Raikage's strongest attack.

　As for the Fourth Raikage, who had been being trampled, his head swayed, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.

　The Third Raikage's strongest attack missed its mark, but he didn't stop! Because of his immense speed, he couldn't control his movements in mid-air! Boom! With a deafening roar, the Third Raikage's Hell Thrust suddenly pierced a small mountain ahead, his arm piercing right through it. The concentrated lightning exploded, shattering the entire mountaintop.

　The Third Raikage withdrew his finger, looked down at Ye Chen, and said, "How many more times can you dodge my attacks?"

　Looking at the mountain peak pierced by a single finger, Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and laughed, "As expected of the strongest spear, now please amuse me with your strongest power!"

Chapter 378 Golden Buddha - Shockwave

　This content is being published for the first time (first update).

　In Yunlei Gorge, lightning raged, and the air was filled with a scorching and terrifying atmosphere, sending chills down one's spine.

　The Third Raikage, the strongest Raikage of all time, and the Leaf Village Rakshasas engaged in an earth-shattering battle here! The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Brubi, slowly awoke, his body utterly powerless.

　At a glance, many Cloud Ninja lay on the ground, each suffering injuries of varying degrees, including A, the son of the Third Raikage.

　Boom! A loud roar drew his attention, and his gaze involuntarily turned over.

　"drink!!"

　On the other side, the Third Raikage let out a low shout and, still using his four-finger piercing hand technique, suddenly thrust it towards Ye Chen.

　The strongest spear, combined with the strongest lightning attribute, unleashes a power that is truly astounding! Under its four fingers, nothing is indestructible.

　This time, however, Ye Chen did not dodge. Instead, he clenched his fist, covered it with Armament Haki, and suddenly threw a punch at the charging Third Raikage.

　"Well done! I'll destroy you in one fell swoop!"

　The Third Raikage was slightly surprised to see that Ye Chen didn't dodge this time but instead wanted to fight him head-on. He had thought Ye Chen would keep hiding.

　Although Ye Chen was an enemy, he still admired Ye Chen's courage.

　Then destroy the enemy with your strongest attack! Reaching the level of the Third Raikage, one possesses the pinnacle of ninjutsu and taijutsu, and doesn't even need hand seals to perform ninjutsu.

　Absolute speed and power are enough to instantly kill most ninjas! Leaving aside Might Guy's Eight Gates, in terms of taijutsu, the Third Raikage is absolutely at the pinnacle.
