Master, Please Become a Hokage

The last time, when Byakuren got hit in the mountains, he only suffered minor injuries, which already explained everything.

"Amazing... the Third Hokage's son... Sarutobi Ryo..."

After a brief moment of doubt, Kurotsuchi Raiga calmed down.

Which Jonin hasn't clawed their way up from a mountain of corpses?

The hoarse voice, accompanied by a low laugh, formed a deranged expression.

"He's got some skills... and he even managed to buy off Ringo Ameyuri..."

What kind of existence is the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?

The importance of this title in the Village of the Bloody Mist... is no less than that of the Sannin in Konoha.

It is a symbol of glory, and also... of many things.

If someone among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist is bought off by the enemy, it would be a huge blow to morale.

In the original story, the Mist chose to withdraw their troops after Might Duy defeated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Faced with Kurotsuchi Raiga's misunderstanding, Sarutobi Ryo was somewhat interested in explaining.

"You seem to be mistaken about one thing... I just couldn't stand the practice of harming loyal people, so I took action."

"The boring 'comrade' talk? As expected of a Konoha ninja..."

Kurotsuchi Raiga remained noncommittal.

And because they were relatively far apart, Nonoyu and the others didn't hear their conversation clearly.

"The talk ends here. Since we're ninjas, let's decide the outcome in a ninja way!"

Kurotsuchi Raiga shouted in a low voice, and as his voice fell.

Sarutobi Ryo also instantly took action: "Ha!"

After a violent shout, he stomped down with force, while simultaneously forming a hand seal with his left hand.

The entire ground seemed to tremble under this stomp.

Then, a terrifying killing intent came before him.

A seemingly simple rush contained various techniques.

Having learned from Konoha's White Fang, Sarutobi Ryo didn't just learn swordsmanship.

Konoha's White Fang's swift movements, the 'Left-Hand Seal · Body Flicker Technique', were also things that Sarutobi Ryo had learned.

The Body Flicker Technique only requires one seal.

Usually, it's the right hand that forms the seal.

And the Body Flicker Technique is divided into... ordinary Body Flicker, Water Body Flicker, Lightning Body Flicker, and other Body Flickers.

When practiced to the extreme, it can even be performed without a seal.

In Sarutobi Ryo's knowledge, in the entire ninja world, there are probably only a few people who possess the ability to use Body Flicker without seals.

One of them is Hatake Sakumo.

At this time, Sarutobi Ryo's strength is certainly not comparable to Hatake Sakumo.

But learning only a part is enough to benefit him for life.

At the same time as the left-hand seal is activated, the freed-up right hand can launch an attack at the same time.

Thus, Sarutobi Ryo transformed into an afterimage, and almost instantly arrived in front of Kurotsuchi Raiga.

If it were an ordinary Jonin, they would have been instantly killed by Sarutobi Ryo.

But Kurotsuchi Raiga's main attribute is 'Lightning'.

All Lightning Release ninjas have very agile reaction speeds.

Unless this Lightning Release ninja has a natural dynamic visual acuity defect like Kakashi.

If the dynamic visual acuity condition is met, then he will definitely be able to react quickly.

Thus...

Amidst the bloody aura assaulting his face, Kurotsuchi Raiga, with every hair on his body standing on end, subconsciously slashed out with the twin swords in his hand.

Another characteristic of the Lightning attribute—'Sharpness'.

This is vividly displayed on these Lightning Swords.

With one slash, it can be said that cutting through an earth wall is as easy as playing around.

If Lightning Release is attached, then even metal can be easily cut through.

Crackle!

White electric light flickered.

Different from the blue Lightning Release used by Ringo Ameyuri.

Although both are Lightning attributes, Kurotsuchi Raiga's chakra nature has subtle differences.

But just as the twin swords were about to slash down, Sarutobi Ryo's body flashed violently, already crossing to the side.

Then, he stomped hard with his right foot, and his body flickered again, almost circling behind Kurotsuchi Raiga.

"So fast!"

Kurotsuchi Raiga's pupils shrank sharply, astonished by Sarutobi Ryo's speed.

Because Sarutobi Ryo's speed looked like he was shrinking the ground into inches.

The Body Flicker Technique is a ninjutsu.

It doesn't require physical strength to participate.

In the original story, Gaara used the movement method of the Chakra Body Flicker Technique to replace physical movement because the sand in the gourd on his back was too heavy.

And Sarutobi Ryo at this moment not only used the left-handed Body Flicker taught by Hatake Sakumo.

But also, on this basis, added a method of physical strength burst.

Stepping on the ground generates a reaction force, and then using ninjutsu to propel his body.

The combination of the two will make the speed even faster.

Bang!

Another move.

Kurotsuchi Raiga turned around and slashed horizontally.

At the same time, his eyes looked at the place where Sarutobi Ryo had stepped.

The crater where the ground exploded was very conspicuous.

"I see..."

He understood.

The power generated by super-strong taijutsu, combined with the Body Flicker Technique...

It really is... amazing.

However...

"Wanting to come up and kill me right away is too much to think!"

Kurotsuchi Raiga smiled coldly, twin swords crossing.

"Ninpō: Lightning Armor!"

Boom!

White lightning surged, and the chakra emanating from Kurotsuchi Raiga's body was transmitted through the Lightning Swords and returned to his body.

This move, Lightning Armor.

Is his original move.

Even Ringo Ameyuri doesn't have it.

"This guy..."

Watching his own Ninja Swords being used by others, and combined with techniques to create new uses, Ringo Ameyuri's expression suddenly became strange.

Chapter 42. Kill

Completely wrapping lightning around himself.

Thereby gaining increased attack, defense, and reaction speed.

"Hahaha..."

Kurotsuchi Raiga laughed.

Having suddenly increased his abilities, he gradually began to keep up with Sarutobi Ryo's movements.

However, he didn't know that he was just beginning.

He saw Sarutobi Ryo raise his right palm and slap it over fiercely.

With a loud bang.

The palm slapped out from the air was accompanied by an explosive surge of air.

In Kurotsuchi Raiga's eyes, the power of this 'Crushing Palm' was like the sky falling and the earth splitting, the cold power wrapped in monstrous killing intent, sweeping over together.

Kurotsuchi Raiga never expected that Sarutobi Ryo was hiding a remote taijutsu attack.

At this moment, he even mistakenly thought that this was the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm of the Hyuga clan.

However, the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm of the Hyuga clan is definitely not as powerful as this.

Only when it reaches the level of 'Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher' will it have such power.

After one palm, Sarutobi Ryo's arm was numb from the lightning.

And Kurotsuchi Raiga was sent flying, and the Lightning Armor wrapped around his body flickered a few times and actually collapsed!!

"Hmm?!"

Kurotsuchi Raiga's feet plowed two tracks on the ground.

He barely stopped his figure, his eyes becoming more and more astonished.

In a flash of lightning, the two had already exchanged several moves.

The surrounding Mist ninja were dumbfounded.

Because the battle was too explosive, they hadn't even reacted at all.

It wasn't until Sarutobi Ryo's right hand trembled slightly that they thought about whether they should go forward to help Kurotsuchi Raiga...

Wait.

At this time, a thought arose in everyone's mind.

If Kurotsuchi Raiga is killed...

Negative desires began to grow.

The tradition of infighting in the Bloody Mist caused the surrounding 20-odd Mist ninja to stop.

They... like bloodthirsty sharks, after devouring Ringo Ameyuri, were even waiting to continue devouring Kurotsuchi Raiga...

On Sarutobi Ryo's side, he clenched his fist.
