Having finished their discussion, Naruto created ten Shadow Clones. Seven of them walked straight out with an arrogant gait, while three followed Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura respectively. The real Naruto went out the window and climbed the mountain.
Team 7's movements inside the house couldn't escape Ranmaru's eyes, but he couldn't figure out what the Shadow Clone with a small tag labeled No. 001 on its chest was all about, or why another Shadow Clone had transformed into a woman.
And why did the pink-haired person look at the clone's chest and then freak out?
"What's wrong, Ranmaru?" Raiga noticed Ranmaru's hesitation as he recounted the events.
"No, it's nothing, it's just that those clones are acting strangely. Raiga, be careful," Ranmaru earnestly warned.
"Don't worry, with Ranmaru here, I am the strongest!"
After the clones walked out the door, they stood in a row and formed the hand seals in unison:
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" *7
Naruto had only recently learned this technique and wasn't very good at it, requiring several times the Chakra to reach the standard level, which was a bit inefficient. But... if he supercharged it, wouldn't it be stronger than a normal Great Breakthrough?
Powerful gusts of wind erupted from in front of the seven clones, causing Raiga's cloak to flutter and the hood on his head to be blown off, revealing the small pack on his back containing Ranmaru. Even the thick mist was dispersed a lot.
Raiga shielded himself with one hand, blocking the fine sand and gravel, his feet firmly planted on the ground.
"Damn it! Ranmaru, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Damn bastards!"
Raiga angrily raised his twin swords, and two dazzling pillars of light rose from the swords, connecting to the dark clouds in the sky.
"Lightning, descend!"
Seven bolts of Lightning struck down from the sky, accurately hitting the clones. Their last thoughts before disappearing were: "Is this the retribution for advising Sakura Bro to study medicine? But you should strike the real body! It wasn't us clones who gave the advice!"
Naruto, who had already climbed to a high place and found a good position, felt a chill in his heart as he listened to the rumbling thunder.
Taking advantage of the thinning mist and the illumination from the Lightning, Kakashi and Sasuke confirmed Raiga's location. So No. 001 teamed up with Sasuke, and the unnamed clone teamed up with Kakashi:
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" *2
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" *2
"Combination Ninjutsu: Wind Fire Great Breakthrough!" *2
Combination Ninjutsu was originally a technique that required two people to practice for a period of time and develop enough tacit understanding to use.
Naruto had only learned the Great Breakthrough recently and didn't have time to practice coordination, but Sasuke and Kakashi had cheats.
These two used their Sharingan to observe the power and timing of Naruto's Ninjutsu, and then used their familiar Great Fireball Technique to cooperate with Naruto in micro-operations, forcibly using the Combination Ninjutsu.
The previous seven clones were both to blow away some of the mist and to provide them with observation samples.
Thus, a powerful storm wrapped in flames, like two horizontal fire tornadoes, rotated and advanced towards Raiga's direction.
Seeing that almost the entire flat area was covered in flames, Raiga quickly jumped down to the slope below to avoid it, not towards the mountain because Ranmaru had reminded him that there was a Little Blondie lying in ambush up there.
The two pillars of fire missed, but completely blew away the Hidden Mist Technique, illuminating the night sky.
And waiting for Raiga next was—
"Ora!" Sakura Bro landed a punch, the ground shook, and rocks shattered.
Despite Ranmaru's warning, Hakkaku Raiga was still startled by the punch, and his footing was unsteady after jumping up and landing.
Naruko followed behind Sakura Bro, raising one hand to send three Kunai with Exploding Tags towards Hakkaku Raiga, while the other hand rested on Sakura Bro's shoulder, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring her back to the rear.
Boom boom boom! As usual, all smoke and no damage. Naruto, who was waiting for the signal above, heard the explosions and immediately started attacking: throwing several Flying Thunder God Kunai down to see if he could directly launch a close-quarters surprise attack.
However, Hakkaku Raiga spun his Lightning Blades, knocking all the Kunai away.
"Tch, why doesn't this guy play by the rules?"
Naruto had no choice but to form hand seals and release Tobirama's Water Surge from the mountain.
A large amount of water was created out of thin air, forming a great river from top to bottom, rushing towards Hakkaku Raiga. Because this was a gold mine mountain:
"Water Release: Flooding the Gold Mountain Technique!"
The nearly thirty-meter-wide torrent of water didn't need Naruto's control, directly cascading down the mountain, flowing over the platform where he had just stood, stirring up huge waves that crashed down on Hakkaku Raiga.
Hakkaku Raiga had to stick his Lightning Blades into the sloping mountainside to maintain his balance. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief after the water subsided, he realized that the backpack containing Ranmaru was gone!
"Ranmaru!" Hakkaku Raiga panicked. Ranmaru's body was very weak, if he rolled from here to the bottom of the mountain...
"You guys!" Hakkaku Raiga raised his twin blades above his head and spun them around. A Lightning was drawn down from the sky, injected into the twin blades, and then flowed into his body, making his whole body glow as if he were wearing a Lightning armor.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Armor!"
It looked intimidating, and anyone who didn't know better would think the Raikage had arrived, but Hakkaku Raiga's speed didn't increase much. The trouble was that after transforming, Hakkaku Raiga seemed to have activated an infinite firepower mode, wielding his twin blades and attacking wildly.
"Lightning Ball! Lightning Strike! Lightning Dragon Tornado!"
For a time, all kinds of Lightning attacks indiscriminately filled the field.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura Bro dodged a few times in a panic, and were taken back to Naruto's side by three Shadow Clones, putting a large distance between them and Hakkaku Raiga.
Naruto looked like he was enjoying the show: "Kakashi-sensei, the Boss is berserk, don't you know the Lightning Blade? Go cut him~"
Kakashi said seriously: "Don't mess around, this guy is using the power of the Lightning from the sky, his own Chakra consumption is almost negligible, which means this kind of attack..."
Naruto immediately interjected: "He can last all day?"
Kakashi choked: "That's what I mean."
"That's easy, without Ranmaru, Hakkaku Raiga's taijutsu is as weak as Inuzuka Kiba."
Naruto said disdainfully: "You just need to use your Earth Release to sneak over and attack from below."
Kakashi squeezed the gravel on the ground: "It's troublesome to use Earth Release on this kind of mountain."
"Then dig slowly, I can help you attract his attention."
"I have no choice." Kakashi had to form the hand seals for Earth Release.
Naruto gave a thumbs up: "Go for it, I believe in you, I think you have the potential to become the Earth Shadow."
As Kakashi burrowed into the ground, Naruto created 100 Shadow Clones:
"This mission is a suicide mission, timing starts now, anyone who isn't killed by Hakkaku Raiga within two minutes will have their salary deducted!"
The Shadow Clones:
"Who are you looking down on!"
"If you're still alive in thirty seconds, I'll admit defeat!"
"That's right, that's right, we're professionals at courting death!"
...
A hundred clones charged down, howling, even No. 001 and Naruko joined the ranks.
