"You've been stalling long enough; it's time to send you on your way!"
The burly, dark-skinned Ai impatiently stomped the ground.
A massive amount of Lightning Release chakra instantly enveloped his entire body, like a fierce blue lightning bolt. Amidst the deafening sonic booms, he appeared beside Gensou first.
Lightning Release: Heavy Explosion Flow!
With a large amount of chakra gathered on his thick elbow, Ai twisted his waist and fiercely struck forward, aiming straight at Gensou's head.
Accompanied by his brutal roar:
"Die!"
The wind howled, and thunder roared.
Gensou, his black hair wildly blowing, calmly watched the scene and said indifferently: "Why the rush?"
As his words fell.
Smack!
A slender hand effortlessly landed on Ai's striking elbow.
Then, The wind ceased, and the thunder fell silent.
Everything quickly returned to calm.
Ai, just inches away, raised his head, looking at the motionless Gensou in front of him and the iron-like hand that easily blocked his attack. His pupils slightly contracted.
"Bloodline Limit-Steel Release!"
Not far away, the First Kazekage Reto, who noticed everything, squinted his eyes and spoke the truth with great apprehension.
Chakra nature transformation includes Fire, Wind, Lightning, Water, Earth, Yin, and Yang.
When two chakra natures are fused, they create a new type of release, known as a "Bloodline Limit."
Typically, only a very few ninja can develop their own Bloodline Limit.
Once successful, this new release is recorded in the ninja's genes and passed down to their descendants through bloodlines.
Many ninja clans stand tall in the ninja world because they possess Bloodline Limits.
As the leader of a village, Reto shouldn't be overly concerned about Bloodline Limits.
But what if the enemy had more than one Bloodline Limit?
Reto was lost in thought.
Ahead, Ai's anguished roar snapped him back to reality.
He turned to see Ai's burly body rocket backward like a missile.
"Raikage... truly a hasty lineage."
With one hand gripping Ai's elbow, Gensou calmly remarked, then, not giving Ai a chance to counterattack, his figure flashed, bursting out with speed even faster than Ai's earlier. Before Ai could react, Gensou struck him with a powerful punch, sending him flying.
But it wasn't over yet.
Under the gaze of the other four Kage, Gensou seemed to teleport, appearing beside the airborne Ai in the blink of an eye.
Just as he raised his elbow, about to strike Ai's head in return.
A dignified voice suddenly intervened.
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
A wind release jutsu, far more overwhelming than those performed by ordinary ninja, erupted from Reto's hands.
Gensou looked up to see a high-density, sky-darkening wind mass sweeping towards him like doomsday.
As expected of the one who "ruled the desert with overwhelming power, founding the Hidden Sand Village."
Just this one move was far superior to the future unlucky Kazekage.
Seeing this, Gensou's hands changed position, using the thick-skinned Ai as a human shield.
"Don't underestimate the Raikage, you bastard!"
Realizing the situation, Ai furiously roared, releasing even more chakra comparable to that of a tailed beast.
Strongest Lightning Armor!
With his short black hair standing on end, resembling a Super Saiyan transformation, Ai exploded with his strongest power, breaking free from Gensou's grip and attacking him with wild, unrestrained fury, ignoring the close-approaching wind jutsu.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The intense collision sounds echoed continuously.
"So fast!"
On the distant battlefield.
The five ninjas accompanying the Kage to the summit, both as guards and future second-in- command of their respective villages, watched the battle without blinking. As they struggled to keep up with the fiercely clashing figures of Gensou and Ai, they couldn't help but feel
amazed.
If they were in the arena, they'd likely be defeated quickly by these two.
Well, except for one person.
Wrapped in bandages, wearing a gray vest, and carrying two katana, the future Second Tsuchikage Mu glanced at the silver-haired Tobirama beside him, thinking that this first- speed ninja would not be inferior to them and might even surpass them.
Konoha truly was full of talents.
Tobirama ignored his temporary companion's scrutiny.
With his arms crossed, he was eyeing Gensou like a treasure, filled with anticipation:
"Steel Release, Swift Release, and other Bloodline Limits reported in intelligence. As expected of someone who could rival a god, developing so many Bloodline Limits on his
own."
"I really want to... study him thoroughly!"
Boom!
A violent shockwave spread rapidly in all directions from the two as the center.
Stepping back a few paces, Gensou looked at Ai, who had caught up to his speed, and shook his
slightly burning hand.
This First Raikage was no ordinary person.
Even with Steel Release, his body was feeling the pain.
Seeing the incoming Wind Release: Pressure Damage, Gensou glanced at a somewhat annoying gaze from a distance, clapped his hands, ignored the crazed Ai closing in on him,
and said expressionlessly:
"Lava Release: Lava Monster Jutsu!"
A large amount of sticky and highly corrosive acid appeared out of nowhere around Gensou.
It formed a protective layer around him while also erupting like a volcano, spreading rapidly
in all directions.
Ai's expression changed instantly.
Usually fearless with his strong body, he quickly retreated, warily avoiding the Lava Release
that made him uneasy.
Ai's figure disappeared.
In the next second, Reto's jutsu struck fiercely.
The wind howled.
The sound of molten rain.
The collision of the two powerful jutsu caused massive destruction within a hundred-meter
radius.
Ordinary ninja couldn't survive in such an environment.
Fortunately, those present were the pinnacle of the ninja world.
Ai reappeared beside the other four Kage.
Ignoring the residual effects of the two jutsu, he tore off his tattered Raikage robe and waited
quietly for the jutsu to end.
He naturally didn't believe that such methods could harm Gensou.
Nor did the other Kage.
Excluding Hashirama, the four Kage exchanged glances.
It was time to go all out and end this quickly.
