Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

Although Kazan could beat him up and send him flying like a toy, he was still the Third Raikage.

Without Kazan's immense power, who could suppress this Shadow?

Even Jiraiya couldn't do that!

"Lord Raikage!"

Tu Tai was initially delighted, but his expression changed.

He saw the Third Raikage using his imposing body to block the Konoha troops.

Then, he turned around and gave Tsuchikage a look, without saying a word, but Tsuchikage already understood what the Third Raikage meant.

He wanted to stay behind to assist the troops in their retreat.

"Boom!"

Almost simultaneously, dark red lightning struck down from the sky, and Kazan unleashed a divine beam in pursuit.

He exuded an aura of dominance, his demeanor like that of a demon or god, his cloak fluttering behind him.

"Keep chasing, don't stop!"

Before Nara Shikaku could finish considering the pros and cons, Kazan had already made his choice, his voice booming like a great bell, echoing across every corner of the battlefield.

In an instant, the Konoha troops moved forward to pursue the Cloud Ninja troops.

The Third Raikage tried to stop him, but was punched away, staggering and spitting out blood.

Tsuchida repeatedly tried to lead his troops forward to risk his life to save the Third Raikage.

But their shadows swept over again, and although they didn't speak, their determined gazes made their meaning very clear.

The Third Raikage knew he could no longer leave this battlefield.

His internal organs had been shattered by that domineering aura, and he had no chance of survival.

But the rest of the village can!

Despite his injuries, he transformed into a streak of blue lightning to halt the Leaf Village forces' pursuit.

"boom!"

He forced some people to retreat, but then took a powerful punch from Kazan from behind.

The Third Raikage straightened up as much as he could, refusing to bow in front of the Konoha ninjas.

"The Cloud Ninja will not bow to Konoha, and you cannot do that either."

Even at this point, the Third Raikage remained as assertive as ever, refusing to back down.

"But I can kill you."

Kazan's voice was softer, and his posture more arrogant.

Chapter 114 Killing the Third Raikage with a Fist

Its domineering aura swept across the battlefield.

Kazan's offensive continued relentlessly, his fists falling like waves.

"Even if I kill you, the banner of the Cloud Ninja will still fall!"

The Third Raikage was forced into a series of defeats, his decline becoming increasingly apparent.

But he still refused to retreat, dealing with Kazan while also trying to stop Konoha's forces from pursuing him.

This time.

Kazan no longer hesitated, showing no mercy as he had during the battle in the Land of Rivers. He ordered his troops to pursue and, disregarding everything, severely damaged the Cloud Ninja.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

In this battle, he intends to thoroughly inflict pain on the Cloud Ninja.

"Then let's get a new one!"

The Third Raikage roared, blood continuously flowing from his mouth, he was already at his last gasp.

His internal organs had been shattered by Armament Haki, but the lightning remained undiminished.

rear.

The Cloud Ninja forces tried to come to their aid several times, but were stopped by Tsuchida each time.

"Withdraw from the Land of Sound, and don't look back!"

He bit his lip until it bled, ordering the main force to retreat, while using his remaining strength to stop the Konoha troops from pursuing him.

With overwhelming power, Kazan relentlessly ravaged the heavens and the earth.

However, the Third Raikage, despite his physical disability, remained determined and attempted to stop both him and the Konoha forces from pursuing him.

Such will cannot be materialized like Kazan's Conqueror's Haki to influence them.

The will of the Third Raikage is equally moving.

They still refuse to back down even a step.

He had been severely injured by Kazan, his body covered in blood, his life force severed, and he was only holding on by sheer willpower.

puff!

If fireworks bloom, they are the color of blood, dazzling yet tragic.

Kazan could clearly sense that the Third Raikage's life force was almost gone, and he was on his last legs.

They're about to collapse.

Kazan intensified his offensive, unleashing a torrential downpour of punches.

After fighting for a long time, the opponent still did not fall, standing upright in front of Kazan and the Konoha troops.

At this moment, the opponent's life force had completely dissipated, and his internal organs were reduced to nothing but bits of flesh. Yet, the Third Raikage still stood there, his tiger-like eyes fixed on Kazan and the others.

Unlike Granny Chiyo, the Third Raikage remained powerful until his death, using his body to withstand an army of thousands.

The song of life unfolds.

This iconic figure of the Cloud Village may die today, but his will will live on forever in the Hidden Cloud Village, passed down from generation to generation.

Kazan stood there, facing the Third Raikage with his fierce eyes wide open, but the man was already lifeless.

"What difference would it make if I replaced it with a different one?"

Kazan stopped, and the Konoha troops in the distance were also retreating.

After suffering heavy casualties, the Cloud Ninja successfully withdrew from the battlefield in the Land of Sound.

However, compared to the losses of the troops, the death of the Third Raikage was the most difficult thing for them to accept.

"Finally, it's over!"

Nara Shikaku plopped down without any regard for his image.

This battle was far more difficult than the battle in the Land of Rivers.

If Kazan hadn't returned from his training in time, many of Konoha's ninjas would have been stuck here forever.

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze also returned in pursuit.

Just like with the Sand Village, they only wanted to expel the Cloud Village and had no intention of expanding the Land of Fire's territory.

This strategic policy persisted through World War I and World War II, and naturally remained unchanged in World War III.

........

Late at night.

The Konoha ninjas were still cleaning up the battlefield.

Of the original 3,000 troops in the camp, only 2,000 remained.

From the battles of the Land of Rivers to the battles of the Land of Sound, Konoha suffered enormous losses.

The ninjas, painstakingly trained, were harvested by war like weeds.

Looking at the casualty statistics, Jiraiya couldn't laugh. Gone was his usual arrogance; his heart was bleeding.

"It's a good thing you came back in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Jiraiya looked at Kazan with feigned nonchalance.

This junior brother of his was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

He's growing so fast, he's even completed the training for the Perfect Sage Mode.

His own teacher said he would protect Kazan, but now Kazan is saving Konoha from both fire and water.

"What are your plans next?" Kazan didn't say much, sitting in the camp.

Surrounding him were the commanders of the troops, including Minato Namikaze, Hiashi Hyuga, and Shikaku Nara.

"The death of the Third Raikage cannot be concealed. As expected, Kumogakure will consolidate its forces to guard the Land of Lightning and prevent other villages from taking advantage of the situation."

"Now that we have the Third Raikage's body, the Cloud Ninja will definitely want to go back."

Nara Shikaku pondered whether he could use this opportunity to sign a ceasefire agreement with the Cloud Ninja.

"That depends on what their Fourth Raikage thinks."

Jiraiya knew all too well that the people of Kumogakure were used to being domineering and would never easily back down.

Moreover, their shadow died at Kazan's hands; it was a blood feud.

Hiashi Hyuga frowned and said, "But their Raikage just died, and other ninja villages are eyeing us covetously. Signing an agreement with us would benefit them."

"They are from Kumogakure." That was all Jiraiya said.

Everyone else fell silent upon hearing this.

In other villages, such a matter could usually be resolved through negotiation, but the people of Yunyin cannot be viewed through the lens of common sense.

"We don't need to take the initiative; they will come to us in person."

Kazan spoke for the second time.
