============== 

 Seeing the grinning Raikage, Yuta hurriedly retreated while holding up two fingers on his left hand.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

"Lightning Release: Thunder Abuse Level!"

The Raikage made a hand knife shape with both hands, and his hands were filled with violent lightning.

"Boom!" The Earth Flow Wall was like paper in front of the Raikage and was instantly shattered by the Raikage, and the dust splash covered the area again.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" The Raikage was very fast in Lightning Release Mode. With a kick of his legs, he rushed out of the smoke in the blink of an eye and rushed straight to Yuta. 

The Raikage waved his hands full of lightning, and each move went straight to the vital points of Yuta's body.

Yuta saw the Raikage pressing forward step by step; his eyes were stern, and his heart was also excited. This might be the strongest opponent he had ever met.

Yuta held the tantō horizontally in front of him, trying to block the Raikage's attack.

"Buzz!" As soon as the blade came into contact with the Raikage's attack, it was vibrated by the huge force and kept wailing.

However, Yuta also took advantage of this gap; his figure disappeared again and instantly appeared five meters away from the Raikage.

He looked at the trembling tantō in his hand, thinking to himself, "It seems that ordinary ninjatō are not very effective in front of a strong man like the Raikage!"

In order to prevent his son's tantō from being broken, Yuta put away the tantō and planned to have a hand-to-hand fight with the Raikage.

The long-lost blood filled Yuta's heart again, but considering the situation on the main force side, Yuta did not intend to hide his strength this time and decided to fight quickly.

"Buzz!" When Yuta released his own momentum, the electromagnetic field also unfolded instantly, and the surrounding air immediately trembled.

"The warm-up is over! Next, Raikage-sama, be careful; don't die here, otherwise it will be difficult for me!"

The Raikage was not like the previous Kumogakure shinobi, who could be killed without consequence. If the Raikage died here, Kumogakure would be leaderless and would definitely be taken advantage of by other villages.

At this time, Konohagakure was surrounded by enemies and had no extra strength to take care of the Land of Lightning, so the Raikage could not die at this time; otherwise, he would make wedding dresses for the Land of Earth and the Land of Water.

"Land of Water!" Yuta suddenly realized after thinking of the Land of Water. No wonder the Land of Earth and the Raikage came to the front line just after the New Year, and the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain also stepped up their offensive against Konohagakure.

He suspected these countries had coordinated their efforts to simultaneously increase pressure on Konohagakure so that Konoha would no longer have the strength to support its allies. And the Land of Water, which had been silent since the outbreak of the war, might have sent people to attack the Land of Whirlpools.

"What a plan!"

Originally, seeing that Yuta was full of momentum and was going to have a big fight with him, the Raikage was on guard, his whole body tensed up, ready to meet Yuta's attack.

But seeing that Yuta suddenly stopped for a moment and then said something inexplicable.

Hearing Yuta's praise, the Raikage was also stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Yuta meant.

"Haha! As expected of the Silver Fox of Konoha, you figured it out so quickly! But it's too late. I'm afraid that the Land of Whirlpools has been conquered by the Kirigakure shinobi now!"

Although he was shocked by Yuta's momentum just now, the Raikage adjusted himself in the blink of an eye and regained his unruly appearance.

"Then Raikage-sama must also be prepared for the Kumogakure shinobi on this battlefield to be buried with the Land of Whirlpools."

Although the demise of the Land of Whirlpools was expected long ago, anyone would be unhappy if they knew that they were being manipulated by others. At this time, Yuta was a little angry, and the murderous aura in his tone became heavier.

"Little brat! It's you who deserves to die!" Hearing Yuta say that the Kumogakure shinobi here should be buried with the Land of Whirlpools, the Raikage immediately remembered the ambush troops that were slaughtered by Yuta before and immediately had no intention of delaying with him.

He wanted to tear this hateful little brat in front of him to pieces.

Yuta's speed was faster than his, making it difficult for him to land a killing blow. 

So he planned to increase his attack power. As long as he struck Yuta once, he believed that Yuta would be dead. He was very confident in his attack. The Third Raikage raised his right arm and stretched it in front of him. 

He slowly bent his little finger and pressed it with his thumb. The lightning bursting from his fingertips also increased in sharpness.

"Hell Thrust: Three Finger Spear!"

"Boom!" The Raikage's figure was likelightning and instantly struck Yuta.

"Bang!" Yuta, who was struck, turned into a puff of light smoke.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" The Raikage was not surprised by this.

After a brief exchange, the two confronted each other again.

He did not look down on Yuta, a speed-type shinobi (this was his assessment based on previous intelligence), and Yuta, who had defeated Hanzō. He treated him as a shinobi of the same caliber.

The momentum of the two made the combatants on both sides of the fierce battle not far away feel a little pressure, and the intensity of their engagement lessened.

The Third Raikage. He was called the strongest Raikage of all generations by the Kumogakure shinobi. He could fight against Gyūki alone and was known to possess the strongest shield and the strongest spear!

On the other side, as Yuta utilized his electromagnetic manipulation, dense arcs flashed in the air around him. 

The iron sand within the iron ore buried underground was also extracted at this time. The iron sand floating in the air enveloped Yuta and the Raikage like a black fog.

"Magnetic Release?! No! It's not Magnetic Release! Magnetic Release won't affect my chakra network operation. Kid, you hid it very deep! No wonder you are so arrogant."

The Raikage was surprised when he saw the iron sand floating on the ground. He initially thought it was the same Magnetic Release kekkei genkai as the Third Kazekage, but when he tried to strengthen his Lightning Release Armor to resist, he found that his chakra network operation became more difficult.

This realization further convinced the Raikage that he must eliminate Yuta here today; otherwise, his strange kekkei genkai would be too restrictive for the Kumogakure shinobi.

The eyes of the two collided in the air.

The Raikage sought to eliminate Yuta, while Yuta merely intended to use the Third Raikage to test his electromagnetic manipulation!

To avoid affecting other shinobi, the two quickly moved away from the main battlefield. Under the gaze of the shinobi from both sides, they disappeared into the woods not far away. 

After running for one or two kilometers, the two stopped simultaneously.

As soon as he stood still, Yuta raised his fist and instinctively utilized his supernatural strength. Due to electromagnetic interference, Yuta was immune to lightning at this time, so he didn't have to worry about being paralyzed by it.

The Raikage could only perceive a white streak left by Yuta in the air. He understood that this wasn't a mere afterimage of Yuta's movement but rather a residual visual imprint caused by Yuta's extreme speed exceeding his visual processing capabilities.

The Third Raikage stomped his feet and thrust forward with three fingers to meet Yuta's fist. The terrifying lightning chakra was concentrated at his fingertips, appearing as a tangible blade.

"Boom!" Yuta's fist connected with the Raikage's substantial lightning blade, and a clearly visible lightning arc exploded instantly.

Yuta's eyes flashed, and the power in his hands increased abruptly.

"Electromagnetic Jet!"

That's right, Yuta utilized the principle of electromagnetic propulsion to directly amplify his striking power.

The Raikage was caught off guard by the immense force that suddenly surged from Yuta and was directly lifted into the air.
