Attack on Uzushio (4)

The Third Raikage asks him with a cold hmph, "Are you really trying to overpower me in pure strength? This is beyond foolish."

"Foolish? I don't know about that. For a decade, there hasn't been anyone in Uzushio who could be my match, whether it is my skill or power. Today, I need to rely on you to figure out where my limits lie." Uzumaki Hishin had a calm gaze in his eyes while speaking to Raikage. His body seemed to contain surprising strength as he could contend against the Third Raikge.

"All the people who said those words are corpses now." The Third Raikage, however, wasn't amused by this talk.

He used more of his physical strength to push away Uzumaki Hishin. Yet, it seemed to have been for nought as Uzumaki Hishin didn't budge.

"I see now, you are using the seals to boost the Physical Strength in your arms! You are just a sham!"

"This is my skill. Talk when you can overpower me, Raikage." Uzumaki Hishin stared at the Raikage with a calm and collected gaze.

The Sword in his hand moved, this time he tried to stab 3 different spots of the Rakage's body. However, Raikage's Thunder Armour didn't grant him a very high defence, but it did greatly enhanced his speed.

Raikage quickly blocked those stabs and shouted, "Lightning Release: Lariat!"

He decided to come close to Uzumaki Hishin and used his signature technique. He was planning on hitting Uzumaki Hishin's chest with his full strength.

Even if Uzumaki Hishin had boosted his physical strength by his seals, there was no way his physique could take on this attack from the Raikage. At the least, Uzumaki Hishin's chest would be crushed!

Naturally, Uzumaki Hishin was aware that taking on this attack wouldn't be wise. He raised his right hand and said, "Kai!"

Suddenly, his body vanished, and a log appeared in front of Raikage.

The Raikage's Lariat hits the log and breaks it into pieces. After having destroyed the Log, he frowns. This was an empty field… Just how could the Body Replacement Jutsu work when there was no log nearby.

He had no idea that this Log was pulled out of a seal on Uzumaki Hishin's body.

However, that wasn't all, there was something the Raiikage failed to notice. And that was the explosive tag on the log.

Suddenly, an explosion occurred very close to the Raikage's body which although didn't injure him, it did force him to back away by several steps.

Just when the Raikage was looking around to see where Uzumaki Hishin was, he sensed a faint danger to his life and jumped back.

It was fortunate that he jumped back or else, he would have been slashed by the Wind Enhanced Blade of Uzumaki Hishin.

Perhaps even his Lightning Armour could have been pierced by that slash.

However, Uzumaki Hishin didn't let up for a single second even though his surprise attack had been dodged. With the same intensity and ferocity as before, he attacked the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage didn't even have the time to use any Jutsu as he was on the defensive and had to dodge multiple sword attacks from Uzumaki Hishin. The Wind Enhancing his sword was so sharp that the Third Raikage was sure that if he tried to grab hold of that sword without his Lightning Chakra, his hand would be slashed.

And if it was the Third Raikage's body which would be slashed merely upon contact with Uzumaki Hishin's sword, there was no doubt that any other ninja would be cut up by Uzumaki Hishin.

"To think you had concealed such strength from us. I guess our decision to destroy you had been correct! If you continued to grow, you could have become the Sixth Great Village." Uzumaki Hishin's facial complexion still remained calm as he heard the Third Raikage's word.

He continued to attack the Third Raikage with the Uzumaki Kenjutsu Style. The Uzumaki Kenjutsu Style didn't focus on absolute attack or absolute defence. It was the every-changing style which would switch from offence to defence after a single move. It was used to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent and confuse them. The opponent would be confused when he must attack and when he must defend.

After fighting for some time, when the opponent wants to attack, he would feel as if he would be falling into a trap. And when he was defending, he would want to attack.

However, to lead the rhythm, great skill was required. Moreover, Uzumaki Hishin was leading the rhythm against the Third Raikage, also dubbed as the Greatest Raikage!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Uzumaki Hishin was the most skilled man who could take on the Third Raikage one on one and have a chance of winning.

Whether it was his knowledge of seals or his sword skill, it was among the top.

All the 1000 Uzumaki Clan Members behind him were all fighting against the Kumo Shinobi. Although they were all doing their best, they were losing the battle because of their low numbers.

Araki continued to stare at the battlefield while he and Kushina were seated on top of the Wood Dragon's Head. Nine Wood Dragons were roaming in the sky as if they were real Dragons.

A grave look on his face as he noticed the Kiri and Iwa had caught up. Once they joined the forces of Kumo Shinobi, it would only be a matter of time before the Uzumaki Clan Members lost.

He raised his hand and commanded 8 Wood Dragons to attack!

2 of these Wood Dragons were charging at the Kumo Shinobi who were already fighting against Uzumaki Clan Members. 3 Wood Dragons charged at the Iwa Shinobi, and 3 Wood Dragons charged at the Kiri Shinobi.

A bead of sweat rolled from Araki's face as he was finding it troubling to control the Wood Dragon with such great distance between them. That was why he controlled the Wood Dragon on which he was seated on and another Wood Dragon to slowly approach the main battlefield.

His 8 Wood Dragons were proving to be more than a handful for the Three Great Shinobi Forces.

Each of these Three Great Village had lost 100's of shinobi to these 8 Wood Dragons in a matter of minutes. However, fortunately for them, they managed to restrain these Wood Dragons now.

The Iwa Shinobi created Earth from their chakra to restrain the Three Wood Dragons. The Kiri used Water to cut apart the tail and to some extent retrain the Three Wood Dragons, and the Kumo Shinobis used brute strength and their quick speed with Lightning Chakra to destroy the body of the Three Wood Dragons. Only the heads remained for some reason… The Heads of these Wood Dragons were rather durable.

A ruthless smirk appeared on Araki's face as he let out a relieved sigh, "Explode!"
