Chapter 121: The Death of the Third Raikage

A white glow lit up the sky and covered the ground.

There was no thunder or lightning.

Nor was there an earth-shaking rumble.

But the surrounding people faced a terrifying aftershock, causing Tsunade, who raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light, to lose her balance.

Shinku Yuhi and the rest of the Konoha ninja recoiled from this aftershock.

"What was that!"

Killer B, who had managed to escape for quite a long distance, came out of Bijuu Mode and carried the future Fourth Raikage on his back, when they both at the same time saw the flash of white light in the distant sky

Even at this distance, the light shone so brightly that it was difficult to look at it.

"It's not Father's Jutsu..."

A's face was even pale from blood loss as he said, "It should be done by a Konoha ninja, to have such terrifying after-effects, this attack is terrifying."

Killer B was visibly nervous and said, "Big brother..."

A didn't let Killer B finish and said, "Don't stop, we have to get out of here as soon as possible. Don't worry about something like this, you know even Hachibi can't hurt father."

Killer B regained his composure and nodded, quickly running with A on his back.

....

Somewhere in the middle of the forest.

About a hundred Konoha ninja were running forward, led by Uchiha Fugaku, the Head of the Uchiha Clan, and Shikaku Nara, the Head of the Nara Clan.

Suddenly.

Fugaku and Shikaku stopped abruptly.

At the same time, the hundred ninja behind them also stopped, all looking in the same direction, a bright white light could be seen in the distance, as if something had exploded.

"What is that!"

A ninja exclaimed in bewilderment.

Fugaku and Shikaku looked at each other in silence, seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

In their opinion....

This is the aftermath of some kind of attack!

Looking at the direction and roughly estimating the distance, it should have happened just before the Nitani Bridge they were headed for.

There was still a long way to go, but they could see the aftermath of such a powerful attack? How great was the power of this attack!

"Bijuu?"

Uchiha Fugaku's expression became extremely serious as he whispered softly.

From these consequences, one can safely judge that the power of the attack is simply unthinkable, although the information received says that Yeruashi was able to suppress Hachibi, but what can you do with such a terrifying attack?

There was tension in Shikaku Nara's voice as he said, "I'm not sure.... Anyway, we have to hurry!"

After saying that, he continued running forward.

Fugaku's expression became heavy, the strength of a Bijuu is too terrifying, even if they provide timely support, it will be too difficult to deal with it, but at this moment they are forced to follow the Hokage's orders and must provide support as soon as possible.

It is hard to say what happened to Yeruashi and Tsunade after this attack.

...

The white light gradually dissipated.

Tsunade hit the ground with her fist wrapped in chakra to overturn a large rock and avoid the aftermath of the attack, at which point she slowly lowered the hand covering her eyes.

She already got the message and met with Katsuyu, she knew that Yeruashi was alive and did not receive serious injuries.

It was obvious that Yeruashi's chakra was completely depleted after such an attack, Tsunade was already transferring her chakra to him with the help of Katsuyu.

Whoosh!

Tsunade jumped on top of the stone, still transmitting chakra, and looked in the direction of Yeruashi's collision with the Third Raikage.

The scene before her caused her to show a look of surprise.

"What the hell..."

Yeruashi was standing with heavily damaged clothes, the hand gripping the Kusanagi sword was pushed down, the sword still crackling with small arcs of lightning.

And right in front of him....

There was a wide ravine that stretched for over a kilometer and disappeared into the distance, it looked as if the whole world was splitting in two!

A few meters ahead of Yeruashi lay the Third Raikage.

Half of his right arm lay to one side.

There was a black burnt incision running from his shoulder to his chest, severe burns were visible all over his body and his hair was completely burnt.

Yeruashi slowly stepped forward and said, "You didn't die immediately after colliding with the Heavenly Cut.... In fact, you have the strongest defense among the ninja I've met, not even the Hachibi can compare to you in terms of defense!"

"This attack... it's called.... Heavenly Cut?"

The third Raikage wheezed with difficulty and coughed, spitting out clouds of black smoke, "Cough...cough.... I didn't expect to lose here... especially against a Lightning attribute user... cough.... "

The Third Raikage sculpted half a sentence with difficulty and coughed a couple of times, with some charred blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and dripping onto the floor.

Hell's Stab was crushed in a direct collision.

Even a Bijūdama could be crushed by his Hell Stab, resisting all the aftermath with her powerful defense, but this blow from the Silver Flash was impossible to resist.

While in a state of quadruple time acceleration and opening the Fifth Thunder Gate, Yeruashi concentrated a large amount of lightning attribute chakra into the Kusanagi Sword, throwing an attack that surpassed even a Bijūdama in power, This power was enough to directly crush and destroy the Hell Stab!

Doesn't the information say that Silver Flash is only eleven years old now?

Thinking about this, the Third Raikage couldn't help but feel bitter. At such a young age, to possess such terrifying strength? What kind of monster is he?!

It's scary to even imagine how strong he will be in the future.

It looks like the Great Ninja Villages will be in big trouble, but this has nothing to do with him anymore.... The Third Raikage's consciousness was rapidly darkening, and soon he was completely plunged into darkness.

Not too far away.

Sensing that the Third Raikage's chakra had completely disappeared, Shinku Yuhi and the other Konoha ninja looked at each other, showing stunned and disbelieving looks.

"The third Raikage... is dead?"

Someone muttered in astonishment.

Silence fell.

Along with the rustling of leaves in the distance, a breeze blew quietly, causing a bit of coolness to be felt on everyone's body.

...

The beginning of the forty-fourth year since the founding of Konoha.

The Third Raikage engaged in a fierce battle with the Silver Flash of Konoha in Fire Country at the Nitani Bridge to cover the retreat of his successor ,A and the Jinchuriki of the Hachibi.

In the end.

The third Raikage died in the battle!

After this battle, a large ravine was left, stretching for more than a kilometer east of the Nitani Bridge.

Soon this ravine was artificially connected to the adjoining river, creating a tributary of the river that allowed to bring water closer to some villages farther away.

Because of the reason for its appearance, this branch is called Thunder Fall.
