Chapter 120 The End of the Fourth Raikage
"Crackling sounds!!"
The deafening sound of metal clashing was like a torrential downpour pounding on a tin roof!
The terrifying senbon, infused with Sage Chakra and capable of piercing steel, crashed like a tidal wave against the Lightning Release armor on A's body, which still shone with a resilient blue light!
Each one possesses an extremely terrifying single-unit penetrating power, and each impact sparks a blinding electric spark!
Ai's body was pushed backward by the huge impact, and his feet carved deep trenches in the ground!
He gritted his teeth, channeling his bulging muscles with all his might! A violent surge of lightning power erupted from the core of his body!
The blue electric armor seemed to be ignited, its brightness increasing several times in an instant, with countless thick arcs of electricity leaping, wandering, and exploding wildly on the surface of the armor!
His hair stood on end, pointing skyward like a hedgehog's quills!
"Haaaaah—break it for me!!"
With a series of thunderous roars, the Fourth Raikage A pushed the defensive power of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to an unprecedented extreme!
This is his pride as the Raikage, the bulwark of his flesh and will, the strongest Lightning Release armor!!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"
The deafening sound of metal clashing instantly engulfed the battlefield! It wasn't rain pattering on banana leaves, but the thunderous roar of thousands of steel needles, imbued with destructive immortal power, striking the iron walls with devastating force!
Sage Jiraiya's Sage Technique: Thousand Needles!
Billions of white hairs, tempered by natural energy to be harder than steel and sharper than divine weapons, converged into a surging white torrent of death, crashing down upon the indomitable, roaring lightning armor covering the Fourth Raikage A's body with speed surpassing that of a swift crossbow bolt!
Each collision exploded into a blinding arc of sparks, like fireworks bursting wildly across Ai's body! So densely packed that they almost formed a curtain of light!
The immense impact propelled the Raikage, renowned for his strength, backward, his feet sinking deep into the scorched earth, creating two alarming deep trenches.
"Well!"
Ai groaned, his muscles bulging to their limit, veins popping out like tree roots wrapped around steel!
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but were instantly evaporated by the violent electric current.
Humiliation! This unprecedented sense of humiliation burned in his soul! How could he be so humiliated by the ninjutsu of this "white-haired toad"?
"Haaaaaah!!!"
A roar, a mixture of rage, pain, and endless fury, exploded from Ai's chest!
The blue lightning armor on his body suddenly shone brighter! It was no longer just protective armor, but more like a blue sun that had been ignited!
Several bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets and as ferocious as mad snakes, suddenly exploded, swirled, and swept out from his body!
Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent Dance!
The raging lightning that spread out acted as a living barrier, finally and temporarily, with difficulty, blocking the seemingly endless storm of needles!
Although most of the Thousand Sticks are still making continuous attacks, each one needs to be weakened by the layers of this berserk Razer.
The precious chakra burned away, and in that instant, A's eyes flashed with a fierce light! He forcefully twisted his body to the side!
"Whoosh!!"
Like a spinning top struck by a heavy hammer, he emerged from the torrent of needles at an almost disheveled yet extreme speed, carrying blue lightning and lingering sparks!
"Huffing and puffing..."
Ai was breathing heavily, the air filled with the smell of gunpowder and a hint of blood.
Even with his physique, the previous round of attack and defense had already taken a heavy toll. He lowered his head, his sharp, eagle-like gaze sweeping over his body.
Several sharp white hairs, which had not been completely blocked, were sticking out of the muscles of his arms and sides!
They pierced through tough skin, with wisps of azure lightning still remaining at their ends—traces of the clash and annihilation between immortal techniques and lightning escape.
"Ha—" Ai let out a low, contemptuous, yet furious laugh.
He suddenly raised his hand, his fingers like iron pincers, ignoring the sharp barbs, and with a few "plop" sounds, he forcefully pulled out the few stubborn needles that were stuck in his body, along with a tiny bit of flesh and blood, and casually threw them on the ground.
Fresh blood instantly seeped from the tiny wound, and was quickly scorched and scabbed over by the high temperature of the lightning release, leaving a few dark red marks.
"Jiraiya!!!"
Ai Rulei's gaze locked onto the immortal-like figure in front of him. His fierce and relentless aura of fighting to the death not only did not weaken, but became even more frenzied and terrifying due to the stimulation of his injury and his burning pride!
The next second, the blue light on Ai's body suddenly surged again!
If the previous lightning armor was a sturdy suit of armor, then at this moment, he seemed to have merged into lightning, radiating a terrifying pressure like a humanoid heavenly tribulation from the inside out!
The air hummed under the strain, and space itself seemed to distort slightly due to the energy he was rapidly gathering.
Limitless Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
This is a desperate state of fully burning chakra potential and forcibly pushing speed and power to a level beyond the peak!
The cost was enormous, but Ai had only one goal in mind: to destroy the powerful enemy before him!
"die!!!"
All that remained was a ring of sonic boom clouds and a huge crater that instantly cracked open!
Ai's figure completely disappeared from the sight of mortals, leaving only that elongated, space-tearing blue trail, carrying the kinetic energy to shatter everything, rushing straight towards the Sage Jiraiya!
This time, the speed was so fast that even Fukasaku couldn't help but exclaim in alarm on Jiraiya's shoulder, "Watch out! Little Jiraiya!"
However, beneath the Sage Mask, Jiraiya's lips curled into a wild, battle-ready smile that clashed sharply with his toad-like face!
"So fast!"
Those frog-like eyes caught the rapidly expanding blue light, and they secretly praised it.
He could clearly "sense" the terrifying explosive power contained in the other party's state.
However, such trump cards often don't last long.
Generally speaking, simply delaying the process slightly is the best solution.
But, Jiraiya in Sage Mode smirked, "I'll avoid his sharp edge?"
That would be his choice in his normal state, but not in his Sage Mode state!
A surge of pride welled up within him! The overwhelming power of Sage Mode filled him with unprecedented confidence!
Instead of retreating, he slightly lowered his body and shifted his center of gravity forward!
At the same time, a frog-like right hand clenched its five fingers, and within its palm, pure yet destructive natural energy frantically gathered and condensed!
hum!
A rapidly spinning, deep blue sphere of light, resembling a swirling nebula, instantly took shape in his palm!
"Xianfa·Rasengan!"
It is more solid and dazzling than a regular Rasengan, and the hissing sound it produces when it spins even drowns out the howling wind and thunder!
"Drink it!!!"
Facing the blue comet that was now right in front of him, Jiraiya let out a thunderous roar!
The muscles in his right arm were as taut as steel cables, dragging the Ultimate Rasengan containing the power of nature, and without any fancy moves, he head-on slammed into that thunderous fist!
The Fourth Raikage recognized the ninjutsu, his pupils contracting, but there was no turning back now. He unleashed a lightning-streaked punch that collided with the Rasengan.
In an instant, a bright blue light burst forth, interspersed with countless bolts of lightning.
Sage Art: Rasengan vs. Ultimate Lightning Blade!
"BOOM!!!!!"
An indescribably loud and violent explosion! It was as if a ton of explosives had detonated at the center!
A terrifying shockwave, carrying tangible energy and mixed with violent lightning and tearing whirlwinds, spread wildly in all directions in a spherical shape from the point of impact, like an apocalyptic tsunami!
At the heart of the turbulent flow of light and energy, time seemed to stand still!
Ai Hu's eyes widened, his bloodshot eyes filled with an unbelievable, turbulent aura!
The force transmitted through the fist was far beyond imagination, a spiraling tearing force capable of crushing everything!
That violent, high-speed spin instantly tore apart and disintegrated his lightning armor!
The finger bones were groaning, the arm bones were moaning, as if they were about to be swept into the vortex of destruction and utterly crushed in the next second!
"Ughhhhhh!!!"
The excruciating pain, like a volcanic eruption, overwhelmed Ai's nerves!
His pride and joy were utterly futile in the face of this divine power!
The premonition of failure rose in his mind more clearly than ever before.
But the Raikage of Kumogakure had no way out!
"Open it!!!"
A frantic roar overwhelmed the pain!
At the critical moment, Ai's intact left fist burned with the last bit of defiance and violence, carrying the purest, most squeezed-out lightning energy, and blasted towards Jiraiya, who was covered in white hair, like a heavy cannon!
He no longer hoped to break through the defense; he only wanted to use his strongest power to shake the opponent for a moment!
Jiraiya's wild white hair grew rapidly, instantly enveloping his body, and on the outermost edge of this hair were sharp needles formed from individual white hairs.
"Immortal Technique: Needle Earth Treasury!"
"Thump!!!"
This punch landed squarely on the Sage Art: Needle Jizo that covered Jiraiya's entire body!
Countless sharp white hairs pierced through the thin layer of lightning covering the fist in an instant! Blood splattered!
But the terrifying impact still penetrated through the layers of white hair defense and slammed hard into Jiraiya's chest!
"snort!"
Jiraiya, now in his Sage Mode, trembled violently! A surge of blood and qi coursed through his chest!
The sage Shima on his back cried out in distress, "Little Jiraiya!"
Even immortals felt immense pressure from this power!
Even though the Fourth Raikage's strength was only at the level of a regular Kage, the power of his desperate punch, which was extremely outstanding in terms of strength, should not be underestimated!
However, just as Ai's left hand reached its peak strength, the old power was exhausted and the new power had not yet been generated!
Beneath the raging torrent of white hair came Jiraiya's voice, as cold as the wind: "Got you!"
"Immortal Technique: Lion's Mane Dance!"
Those thick white hairs that had been binding and cushioning Ai's right fist's Sage Art Rasengan seemed to have been instantly given life!
Millions of white hairs suddenly surged and curled up! Like countless pure white venomous pythons, they instantly abandoned their defenses and, with lightning speed, coiled around Ai's shoulder, neck, chest, and waist!
The Fourth Raikage's hair stood on end as he faced the long, white hair that seemed to have a life of its own, and he suddenly retreated.
However, at such a close distance, no matter how fast he was going, he still couldn't completely escape.
"Crack!!!"
The teeth-grinding crack of bones snapping under terrifying force was exceptionally clear and jarring in the aftershocks of the energy explosion!
Ai's eyes bulged out! His body trembled violently and uncontrollably!
His right arm, the spot where he had been struck head-on by the Sage Art Rasengan, was torn open, his muscles twisted and deformed, and he could barely continue to launch an attack.
After enduring the force of his strongest punch, his left arm, fragile and brittle, snapped under the terrifying contraction of the white hair!
It looked like a piece of rotten wood that had been broken by an iron rod! It slumped there limply.
Both arms were useless! A wave of excruciating pain overwhelmed his will! A mouthful of blood gushed out!
"Ugh—Aaaaaah!!!"
Ai let out a bloodcurdling howl like a wild beast on its deathbed. Driven by the instinct to survive, the last bit of Lightning Release chakra in his body erupted violently throughout his body like a last glimmer of light before the end!
"Sizzle—!!"
A powerful electric current surged through the gaps in the white hair, attempting to scorch and paralyze these deadly ropes.
At the same time, Ai used all her strength to break free backward once more!
"Sizzle!"
Dozens of strands of his white hair were broken off, but they also took away a large piece of skin and flesh from his arm! Ai finally broke free, but flew backward like a broken doll, landing on the ground in a sorry state, rolling several times before finally stopping.
Blood kept gushing from his arms, mouth, nose, and even the places where the stab wounds had pierced his white hair.
Two arms that were once strong enough to split mountains and stop rivers now hang unnaturally at the sides of the body like two tattered strips of cloth.
His chest heaved violently, and sweat poured down his face, mixed with blood.
A dead end!
Those bloodshot, fierce eyes, yet unable to conceal the despair in them, were fixed on the white-haired immortal in front of him.
Escape? With both arms crippled, chakra nearly depleted, and lightning armor teetering on the brink of collapse, and the opponent's speed even surpassing his own at his peak! What's the point?
"It's over, Fourth Raikage."
The cold voice, like a death knell, interrupted Ai's chaotic thoughts.
He looked up abruptly! He discovered that Jiraiya, the Sage, had vanished! His fear surged to its peak instantly!
In the sky!
A dazzling, blinding light tore through the billowing smoke and dust, like a second sun rising overhead!
Ai's vision was instantly filled with a deep, enormous, rapidly spinning, and destructive energy sphere!
"Sage Art: Rasengan!" (The name "Giant Rasengan" was probably given by Naruto; it should be called Rasengan now.)
That highly compressed vortex of natural energy was as large as a house! Its edges tore at the air, emitting a wailing sound! This was the final strike, condensing all the power of Sage Mode!
Despair! Utter, chilling despair gripped Ai's heart in an instant! His body could no longer move an inch! Escape was now a futile hope!
"roar!!!"
A roar, originating from the depths of his soul and containing endless resentment, an obsession with the village, and a primal fear of death, burst forth from the depths of Ai's throat! This was his final swan song!
There's no way out! The only option is to take it head-on!
"Pfft—cough cough!"
Ai suddenly spat out a mouthful of foul blood, staining the scorched earth beneath him red.
He straightened up abruptly, despite his precarious state! Every last bit of chakra he had squeezed out of his marrow was poured into the shaky lightning armor without reservation!
"Aaaaaah!!"
The final lightning armor!
The lightning blazed fiercely once more! Like a candle flickering in the wind, burning its last breath!
This is no longer armor; it's more like a barrier ignited with all of life force and will to protect its own existence!
It covered his broken body, thicker than ever before, and the blue light was so intense that it was impossible to look directly at the body, like a giant of lightning!
"I haven't lost yet!!"
In Ai's final roar, the devastating Sage Art: Great Rasengan crashed down like divine punishment, colliding violently with his last, desperately-used "Lightning Armor"!
"BOOM!!!"
Far surpassing the previous earth-shattering explosion!
The enormous energy sphere suddenly expanded, then collapsed inward, and finally expanded again!
The blinding blue and white light illuminated the entire battlefield as if it were daytime! A huge mushroom cloud, a vortex of lightning and magical energy, rolled and surged into the sky!
At the center of the energy storm, the incomparably dazzling lightning armor burst forth with an ultimate light, representing the burning of life, the moment it came into contact with the Sage Art: Great Ball Rasengan!
"Snap!"
Cracks! Cracks spreading wildly like shattered ice! On the surface of the light that represented Ai's life and will, Ai's eyes widened, his teeth clenched! The blood vessels in his body seemed about to burst! He was squeezing out the last drop of energy from his body!
Keep going! Even just for a little longer!
But this miracle lasted for less than half a second! The Extreme Spiral Storm, which contained the natural energy of Sage Art, completely exceeded the limits that pure chakra burning could withstand in its decomposition and crushing of individual particles!
"Bang!!!"
A crisp, clean sound of shattering, symbolizing absolute crushing power!
The final lightning armor, which embodied the last will and burning life of the Fourth Raikage A, shattered like fragile glass under the relentless spinning of the Sage Art: Rasengan!
Transformed into countless, scattered, brilliant yet melancholic blue stars!
Do not!
Without the protection of the armor, the destructive magical energy struck Ai's body squarely without any obstruction!
"Is this all I can go?" the Fourth Raikage couldn't help but wonder.
The next moment, intense pain surged through his body.
And he seemed to vaguely hear Killer Bee's angry oath.
This must be his last words before he died, right?
