Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, the Fourth Raikage transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged forward.

"Big brother—"

Killer Bee wanted to capture the Fourth Raikage, but the Fourth Raikage was impatient and didn't want to watch Liao Wu show off any longer.

The Fourth Raikage rushed up through the water.

Liao Wu was considering avoiding war.

Because this is just a clone, not the original body.

Its endurance, chakra reserves, ninjutsu, and bloodline limit are all inferior to its original form.

Even half of its power would be considered impressive.

However, retreat is not an option at this point. We must suppress the Fourth Raikage with an absolute advantage to prevent the Allied Shinobi Forces from recognizing him as a clone.

Looking at the great river in front of him, Liao Wu had a plan in mind.

He also practices Water Release techniques frequently. Don't worry about who he practices with; Liao Wu is already very proficient in the hand seals for Water Release.

Many complex printing techniques have been simplified.

Battles on the great river are Liaowu's home ground.

Moreover, the Fourth Raikage, a tanky character, is most vulnerable to genjutsu control. In the original manga, when fighting Sasuke, he relied on high-speed movement to avoid the Sharingan's line of sight.

He can withstand the genjutsu of a Jonin, but he can't withstand the advanced genjutsu of the Sharingan from the Uchiha clan.

Liao Wu prepared to use illusion magic to control the opponent.

"Nekomata, you and I will use illusion magic to deal with this big oaf!"

The cat nodded again.

Then the cat rushed up with Liao Wu, and gathered chakra under its feet to walk on water.

"Come on! Let's fight to our hearts' content! Those who dare not come are cowards!"

Liao Wu used Magnet Release to condense a halberd, and charged towards the Fourth Raikage like a warrior on the battlefield.

The Fourth Raikage was incredibly fast. After activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode, lightning coiled around his body, and his physical body, activated by Lightning Release, had become a buff.

Its speed was like that of blue lightning.

If he hadn't inherited the name of the Fourth Raikage, he would have been given a nickname—the Blue Lightning of Kumogakure.

The yellow flashing light is a reference to the water gate.

Furthermore, Lightning Release activated the Fourth Raikage's body, greatly increasing his defensive capabilities and enhancing his nerve conduction speed.

The responsiveness has been greatly enhanced.

The Fourth Raikage was very fast, but Ryogoku's Sharingan was still able to see his movement trajectory clearly.

However, the Fourth Raikage's ninjutsu was too strong, making it impossible for Liao Wu to engage in close combat with him.

In the original work, the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Strike, Chiyo-bu, which is essentially a hand chop, severed the left horn of the Eight-Tails with a single chop.

It would be unwise to engage in close combat with the Fourth Raikage.

However, the Fourth Raikage's weakness was also obvious: he could not sense ninjutsu.

Liao Wu formed hand seals, unleashing Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!

Immediately, Liao Wu exhaled thick fog, creating a large-scale fog environment above the river.

This obstructed the Fourth Raikage's vision, but it also prevented Ryogoku's Sharingan from making eye contact with the opponent.

However, the Fourth Raikage's speed-type ninja, with his high-speed movement, made it impossible for Liao Wu to successfully cast Sharingan genjutsu.

The Fourth Raikage himself also avoided making eye contact with Liao Wu.

Enveloped in the thick fog, the Fourth Raikage lost all sight.

Because the Fourth Raikage had no sensory ninjutsu.

He is a pure close-combat brute, relying on speed and strength to overwhelm opponents, and is completely unaware of ninjutsu.

In the original work, the battles relied entirely on intelligence and location provided by his perception-type subordinates, such as Hijiri.

This is the limitation of the Fourth Raikage; he is different from Minato.

Minato was a well-rounded individual, proficient in ninjutsu, sensory perception, speed, and sealing techniques.

The Fourth Raikage was very specialized, focusing on ninjutsu and taijutsu, which wasn't a problem when he had his comrades around.

However, once he fights alone, his disadvantages will be magnified by the enemy.

Liao Wu was able to clearly sense the location of the Fourth Raikage by relying on the White Zetsu cells and the Sharingan's ability to observe chakra flow.

He laughed loudly, "Raikage, you think you're worthy to fight me?"

The Fourth Raikage angrily shouted, "Uchiha Ryou, you despicable scoundrel! Didn't you say you'd fight like a samurai and have a good time? Why are you resorting to underhanded tricks here?"

Liao Wu mocked the Fourth Raikage: "Raikage, you actually believe what I say? I told you to go back to your country and send me a hundred foreign women, why didn't you do it?"

"ah--"

The Fourth Raikage roared in fury, "Uchiha Ryouu, come out here! I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

Liao Wu kept provoking the Fourth Raikage: "Raikage, you're just like your reckless father. Onoki could have been dragged down by a bunch of weaklings."

"Onoki is an idiot too. How can you fight head-on with brutes like you?"

Onoki's decision to use his own men to drag the Third Raikage to his death shows a complete disregard for the lives of his subordinates, as the Third Raikage preferred head-on battles.

The more people there are, the happier he is.

To deal with this kind of melee-focused, thrusting enemy, you should attack their weakest point: illusions, mind control, ranged attacks, and verbal attacks on their entire family...

Combat is a game of maximizing the margin for error; both sides should exploit each other's weaknesses and attack relentlessly.

Whoever makes fewer mistakes will win.

How can you fight each other with swords like samurai?

Liao Wu wouldn't be in a hurry if he attacked the Fourth Raikage himself, but he would react strongly if he attacked the Fourth Raikage's most respected father.

"Ahhhhh—"

The Fourth Raikage roared in anger, channeling all his chakra. Lightning surged violently across his body, crackling and popping.

"Uchiha Ryogoku, you're not allowed to insult my father!"

The Fourth Raikage swung his fist, trying to disperse the surrounding mist with the high-speed wind from his punch.

Because the Fourth Raikage's ninjutsu was all focused on close-combat attacks, he basically had no ranged attack techniques.

For example, releasing a wind jutsu to blow away the surrounding fog.

No, the Fourth Raikage's chakra nature is lightning and earth, and he specializes in lightning in all his ninjutsu training.

Lightning-attribute ninjutsu are all offensive ninjutsu, and there are no auxiliary defensive or counter-attack ninjutsu.

The Fourth Raikage's punches were incredibly powerful, even producing sparks as they landed.

The surrounding fog was affected by the force of his punches, and a large portion of it was knocked away when he swung his fist.

However, Liao Wu controlled the surrounding water mist at all times. When he saw that part of the mist was impacted, he released chakra to create a continuous fog that enveloped the Fourth Raikage's location.

"hateful!"

The Fourth Raikage looked somewhat gloomy. He hadn't expected that before even engaging in battle with Liao Wu, Liao Wu would see through his disadvantage.

Who exactly sold his ninjutsu information?

The Fourth Raikage wanted to break through the thick fog and return to the Allied Shinobi Forces' location.

The inability to see clearly in the fog was a disadvantage for the Fourth Raikage.

When the Fourth Raikage wanted to retreat, Liao Wu provoked him: "Raikage, you brat, with so many Allied Shinobi Forces watching, how will the other shinobi feel if you, as the first to appear, retreat back to your village?"

"What will your subordinates think? You were the first to fight me with the honor of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Your retreat is damaging the image of your Kumogakure."

The Fourth Raikage dared not retreat. When he rushed out, he didn't think much; he just wanted to teach Liao Wu a lesson for his arrogance.

But now he's in a difficult position. If he loses to Liao Wu, many people will underestimate Yun Yin.

They were just a bunch of brutes, without any brains.

"Damn it, Uchiha Ryougo, have the guts to fight me head-on!"

"Idiot, am I stupid? Do you think I'd go head-to-head with a big, black bull like you?"

Liao Wu stopped arguing with the Fourth Raikage and began to use Water Release.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
