The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 841 Stalemate

Raikage charged toward Isobu like a black lightning bolt.

That's right, his target wasn't the seemingly more ferocious Kyokotsu, but Isobu.

With a loud shout, he struck Isobu hard with his elbow.

"Oh!"

A dull yet deafening sound exploded on the battlefield, the blow striking Isobu's tortoise shell heavily.

The once incredibly hard tortoise shell appeared so fragile in the face of this powerful lightning force.

Instantly, fine cracks appeared on the tortoise shell, like a giant spider web, spreading rapidly.

Isobu suffered this heavy blow and let out a sad and miserable howl.

Its massive body flew backward uncontrollably, tracing a long arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seeing that Isobu had been so badly injured by the Raikage, Kyokotsu stomped his foot hard, leaving several deep footprints in the ground, and charged towards the Raikage again like an arrow released from a bow.

Seeing Kyokotsu charging towards him, Raikage roared, his chakra surging wildly once more, his muscles bulging even more.

He fearlessly went to meet him and exchanged a punch with Mad Bones.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of thunderous sounds rang out on the battlefield as both sides delivered brutal blows, each collision seemingly causing the air to tremble.

The powerful impact caused cracks to appear in the surrounding ground.

With a series of muffled thuds, both sides began to clash head-on, neither willing to give an inch.

The Raikage was utterly horrified. As a pinnacle of ultra-fast taijutsu ninja, he had dominated the ninja world for many years.

With his unparalleled physical skills, he defeated countless powerful enemies.

He had lost count of how many years it had been since he had encountered an opponent who was so evenly matched with him in physical combat.

Because those who can keep up with his speed cannot withstand his powerful punches.

Those who could catch his punches couldn't keep up with his speed.

His physical defenses reached an abnormal level.

Even the renowned Qianyao five years ago.

It was only thanks to Susanoo's massive and solid body as a barrier, and Amaterasu's black flames that could burn everything, that he barely suffered some losses.

Unexpectedly, a mysterious martial arts master suddenly appeared in Kirigakure.

He could not only easily keep up with the Raikage's lightning-fast speed, but his defensive capabilities were also exceptional.

Every time the Raikage swung his incredibly powerful fist at Kyokotsu, it was as if he had smashed into an invisible wall of steel.

Kyokotsu's body was as if it were encased in a layer of hard armor, and he was able to withstand the enormous impact of each collision with the Raikage's fist.

The Raikage's fist was incredibly powerful, but when it struck Kyokotsu, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever.

At this moment, Raikage only felt a faint pain in his hands, a lingering effect of the intense collision with Kyokotsu.

He was secretly surprised, never expecting that Kirigakure would hide such a powerful figure.

Kyokotsu's attacks were equally swift; he knew what kind of opponent he was facing.

Both Jinchūriki were hit by the other and retreated from their full Tailed Beast forms.

Because the central battlefield has been completely occupied by Kyokotsu and Raikage.

The ferocious power prevented either side from getting close.

The Raikage's fists are so fast they're like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, leaving no time to catch their trajectory.

Although Kyokotsu didn't have time to draw his bones to fight the Raikage, he was still able to fight the Raikage to a standstill.

Kimimaro's dance skills were not yet familiar to him.

However, the periosteum that his body constantly regenerates is like an indestructible armor, making his body incredibly hard.

With the powerful enhancement of the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, Kyokotsu was like a raging beast, frantically clashing with the Raikage.

The two fought with an exceptionally wild style, as if the whole world was awestruck by their aura.

The surrounding air was churning violently due to the intense energy fluctuations.

Those once towering trees, under the aftershocks of their battle, were snapped in half instantly, like fragile toothpicks.

The hard stones, as if struck by the immense force of a giant, shattered into fragments that flew out in all directions.

In the midst of this fierce battle, the Raikage suddenly flipped himself up and frantically concentrated his Lightning Release chakra into his legs.

His legs crackled with dazzling lightning, as if an angry thunder dragon were coiled around them.

Immediately afterwards, Raikage, like a fierce eagle, slashed down hard at Kyokotsu.

Kyokotsu, of course, would not sit idly by and wait to die; he keenly sensed Raikage's intention to attack.

Before his opponent could finish his move, he immediately spun around and delivered a side kick.

His leg drew a beautiful yet sharp arc in the air, carrying an indomitable momentum, and slammed into the Raikage's leg.

"Oh!"

A deep, resounding bang exploded in the air.

Their legs collided heavily, and a powerful gust of wind spread wildly outwards from them.

Raikage and Kyokotsu were both struggling to keep up, and their bodies flew backward like kites with broken strings.

In the air, they struggled to adjust their posture and try to steady themselves.

Finally, they landed heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

By this point in the battle, both the Raikage and Kyokotsu were exhausted.

Large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads.

Mad Bone felt his stamina rapidly depleting, and he could no longer even maintain the bone spear of the Early Fern Dance.

Those originally incredibly sharp bone spears shattered and dissipated due to his insufficient chakra supply.

"Ho..."

"Ho..."

Heavy breathing echoed in the damp air.

Raikage's chest heaved violently, and large beads of sweat slid down his face and splashed onto the ground, clearly exhausted from the fierce battle.

As for Kyokotsu, although he was also panting heavily, his fatigue did not stem from excessive physical exertion.

The forbidden technique of opening the Eight Gates of the Mad Bone requires a large amount of vital energy to sustain it.

He himself could not provide such a large amount of blood and energy, so he could only rely on Qianyao's main body to transfer blood and energy through his pupil technique.

However, the speed at which Qianyao can transmit qi and blood is ultimately limited, and it can only support Kuanggu in opening five gates.

During his taijutsu battle with the Raikage, every punch and kick, every movement he made, was relentlessly draining his energy.

I'm finding it a bit too much to handle now; the shortness of breath is something I can't seem to recover from.
