Chapter 158 Trap

With a flash of lightning, the Third Raikage, whose massive body was over two meters tall, made a move that seemed incongruous with his large size, nimbly dodging Orochimaru's wind ninja.

The next moment, the endless swarm of snakes rushed forward again, while others used their flesh and blood to restrain the Third Raikage's movements.

However, this did not work.

Lightning crackled again, but this time the lightning was no longer the blue of before; instead, it had a jet-black hue.

The snakes convulsed and died en masse.

Orochimaru, who was following closely behind the swarm of snakes and attempting to launch a sneak attack using Wind Release, was also forced to retreat and dodge, instead using his ninjutsu to counter the black lightning release.

This is a Black Lightning Secret Technique developed by the Third Raikage himself. In the original timeline, only Darui learned this technique, which is why he got a lightning tattoo on his shoulder. He received special training and became the sole inheritor of this technique after the Third Raikage's death.

"Konoha Village truly produces many talented individuals. The title of the Three Legendary Sannin is well-deserved. It's one thing to have Sakumo Hatake, but there are two more like you. Add to that your Uchiha disciple who could stop my son, and you're truly enviable."

The Third Raikage stood tall and proud, stepping over the charred snake corpses scattered on the ground, looking at Orochimaru with admiration.

Every Konoha ninja he mentioned could be nurtured like a treasure in the Hidden Cloud Village, yet Konoha produced so many in just one Shinobi World War.

The talent pool of Konoha truly made the Third Raikage envious and resentful.

"As expected of the Raikage, he lives up to his reputation. If Sarutobi-sensei were here, he certainly wouldn't be in such a sorry state as I am."

Orochimaru spat out the Kusanagi sword and looked at the Third Raikage with a wary expression.

This guy is too strong, and he has no weaknesses that can be exploited, leaving him truly helpless.

He had used all his skills, but could only barely hold off the Third Raikage.

"That's right, compared to your teacher, you are indeed somewhat inferior. Although I can't defeat you, it won't be so easy for you to stop me either."

The Third Raikage raised one finger again in front of Orochimaru.

"At least this one move, you can't block!"

In the next instant, the dazzling lightning condensed again, turning from blue to white, almost materializing, like a shooting star streaking across the battlefield.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and he withdrew, spitting out condensed wind bullets.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Linked Jade!"

This time, the Third Raikage did not dodge.

The wind bullet, powerful enough to pierce gold and split rocks, crumbled under the lightning release that it should have countered, almost as if it didn't exist.

Extremely sharp, extremely penetrating!

This is the Third Raikage's strongest spear!

Even if the Third Hokage himself were to arrive, he would have to temporarily avoid the attack.

Orochimaru could only flee in disarray once again, hiding in the distance.

However, the Third Raikage, with no sign of diminishing momentum, charged straight into the distance.

After Orochimaru saw their destination, he shouted anxiously.

"Be careful!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Lightning Spear had already crossed to the other side of the battlefield.

This is the battlefield where the three clan leaders, Kalei and the Ino-Shika-Cho, are located.

Orochimaru was suppressed by the Third Raikage, Gen Uchiha and the Fourth A were locked in a stalemate, while here, Kalei was being beaten into a perilous situation.

If no reinforcements arrive soon, he will be forced to retreat.

"We were prepared!"

The old patriarch of the Nara clan changed his hand seals, and a large number of shadows suddenly spread out from his feet, turning into sharp spikes that pierced towards the Third Raikage like a thicket of thorns.

His shadow spikes were naturally insufficient to break through the Third Raikage's defenses, but the Third Raikage was also unwilling to easily provoke these shadow spikes.

Once touched, even he would be bound by the shadow. Then the Mountain Clan's Mind Transfer Technique would invade his mind, trapping him in endless control skills, dragging him here and into the rhythm of the three.

"Wushi!"

The old patriarch of Nara called out.

The old patriarch of the mountain family beside him immediately reached out and cut the silk thread under his feet.

The other end of the silk thread was quietly merging into the shadows beneath their feet, concealed by the secret technique of shadow manipulation.

The next second, the endless shadow spikes dissipated, transforming into a dense network of threads wrapped with explosive tags, covering the area around the Third Raikage.

They had anticipated that others would try to come to their aid, so they had secretly slipped underground through the shadow of the old patriarch of Nara, waiting for the others to arrive so they could launch their attack.

The three of them were strong enough to suppress Kalay, and with the help of two others, the old patriarch of the mountain still had some spare power to carry out these petty tricks.

They knew how strong the Third Raikage was. While Orochimaru was indeed powerful, he might not be able to stop the Third Raikage indefinitely.

As for the young Uchiha Gen, although they knew that he had fought against Kaleido and the Fourth Hokage A before, they were not really at ease with him.

After all, the Fourth Hokage A was a super-fast ninja. If he were willing to abandon Gen Uchiha and come over, there was a good chance he could break through.

If the Third Raikage and the Fourth A don't come, then these actions won't be wasted.

He also has a backup plan, but the target will be Kalay instead, aiming to cause a big disaster. If he can take him down in one fell swoop, that would be even better.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another, sending flames soaring into the sky and drawing the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

A mushroom cloud rose leisurely from the explosion.

The three of them had prepared countless explosive tags for this attack. Even if the Third Raikage's defense was strong, it would still be enough to give him a hard time.

"Sandaime-sama!"

Kalay broke free from the heavy rubber that had shielded him from the aftershocks of the explosion, his bloodshot eyes wide with shock.

"I'm fine, Karley."

A dull sound came from the billowing dust, causing the three old patriarchs, Pig, Deer, and Butterfly, to change their expressions.

"How can this guy's defense be so terrifying?"

The old patriarch of the Akimichi family felt a sudden ache in his teeth.

However, when the smoke cleared, the three of them couldn't help but relax and breathe a sigh of relief.

While the Third Raikage's body surface did not suffer any serious injuries, the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth indicated that he had still suffered internal injuries from the earth-shattering explosion.

Although the strongest armor has not yet been broken, it does not mean that the Third Raikage himself is immune to injury.

"No, there were still some results. The body's surface defense is strong, but no matter how tough the internal organs are, they can't remain unaffected."

"The old patriarch in the mountains said in a deep voice."

Meanwhile, Orochimaru had caught up. After noticing the commotion, the Fourth Hokage, A, disregarded Gen Uchiha's entanglement and rushed over at top speed, even at the cost of taking a knife.
