Upon hearing Hashirama's words, the Fourth Raikage's brow furrowed deeply, and a profound displeasure surfaced in his eyes.

No one dares speak to me like that!

The last time I was reprimanded like this, it was by the Third Raikage.

In the entire ninja world, who dares to speak to me in such a manner?

"Are you seeking death?"

The Fourth Raikage glared at Hashirama, his eyes sweeping over the group of individuals from different villages behind him, his face twisting into a cold smile.

"Are you really telling me that these elderly and infirm individuals are the leaders of their villages? You brought them here for a Five Kage Summit?"

The cold smile on the Fourth Raikage's face grew even more pronounced.

Before him stood:

- Emaciated old men,

- Short, frail old men who needed to be carried and could barely move,

- An older woman who fancied herself a young maiden,

- A half-blind man without eyes,

- And someone who seemed barely of age.

These people...

Are they here to joke around?

The Raikage could not believe these individuals were Kage. His information was somewhat limited, or rather, deliberately so.

The Village Hidden in the Clouds was located in the prosperous Land of Lightning.

The Land of Lightning, being a coastal country with developed water transport, boasted the strongest economy in the ninja world, with its military forces being equally formidable.

Both the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village had developed a sense of arrogance stemming from their advantageous situation.

This arrogance had made the Fourth Raikage increasingly presumptuous, no longer regarding others with any seriousness.

"Do you think you can kill me?"

Hashirama looked at the Fourth Raikage with indifference, showing no sign of being disturbed by the latter's words.

What a joke.

If you're so eager for a fight, then go ahead.

Stand there and try your best!

If you can kill me, then I'll admit defeat!

Since coming to the ninja world in the form of Edo Tensei, the greatest threat he feared was precisely this kind of empty threat.

"You're seeking death!"

When the Fourth Raikage repeated the phrase, his tone was not the same as before; it carried a deep-seated anger.

Is he really being looked down upon like this?

If he didn't deal with this situation properly, he might become a laughingstock!

In an instant, the Fourth Raikage's foot slammed down with immense force, creating a loud explosion as he charged rapidly towards Hashirama.

Immediately after, he threw a punch.

The Fourth Raikage's powerful fist drove straight towards Hashirama's chest. This punch was loaded with force, clearly intended to kill Hashirama with a single blow!

Hiss...

As this scene unfolded before everyone, each person's heart skipped a beat.

Of course.

Not out of concern for Hashirama.

Without exception, everyone thought the Raikage's punch was overly impulsive and feared it might come at a terrible cost!

This was a true warrior!

"Is this all you've got?"

Hashirama observed the Fourth Raikage's punch with a sense of disinterest.

Not only was there no added lightning chakra enhancement, but no special techniques were used either.

It was purely a physical attack.

Who does he think he's looking down on?

Hashirama didn't even consider the possibility of demonstrating the immortality of Edo Tensei by taking a hit. His eyes remained indifferent as he watched the rapidly approaching punch, and he simply raised his right hand.

Hashirama's right hand opened.

His palm met the Fourth Raikage's fist.

This...

The onlookers couldn't help but think that Hashirama's response was overly simplistic. Was he really going to catch the punch directly?

Though they all believed the Raikage was no match for Hashirama, they still acknowledged the power behind the punch.

It was impressive!

The Fourth Raikage's expression shifted again, his eyes burning with intense anger.

So much disrespect!

If this man survives, how will he ever show his face as Raikage again?

With this thought in mind, the Fourth Raikage increased the force behind his punch, using no technique, just a straightforward, brute-force attack aimed directly at Hashirama's palm.

Boom!

With a thunderous explosion, the Fourth Raikage's fist struck Hashirama's palm, and it felt as though he had hit a rock.

So incredibly hard!

Something's not right!

Even if it were a rock, it should have shattered!

What kind of body is this man made of?

Is there really such a hard man in the ninja world?

The Fourth Raikage's anger gradually turned into astonishment, and he couldn't help but lower his contempt.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

Hashirama's feet dug deeply into the ground, the immense force causing him to slide backward, yet his body remained unchanged. He carved two deep grooves into the earth, turning the soil over, his feet resembling plows in a field.

After retreating about five or six meters, the Fourth Raikage's punch lost all its force. Hashirama's right hand suddenly closed into a fist, gripping the Raikage's punch tightly.

"Is this all you've got?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Hashirama's eyes. After all, the Fourth Raikage was reputed to be the physically strongest among the Kage.

Hashirama had hoped for a truly exhilarating clash of strength.

The Fourth Raikage hadn't expected this punch to be so easily dealt with.

If just considering this punch alone, it might not even be as strong as Tsunade's.

"You..."

The Raikage's eyes were once again filled with fury. His anger had been completely ignited. His previous contempt for Hashirama had led him to hold back his full strength.

In the next moment, the Raikage's arm muscles tensed as he tried to retract his fist and prepare for a new attack.

"Now it's my turn."

Hashirama's lips curled into a slight, chilling smile. He hadn't felt any pain from the previous collision at all.

It was like playing a game.

Even if there was damage, it wouldn't hurt.

Not that he had taken any damage at all.

As Hashirama spoke, his abundant chakra surged into his wrist, and suddenly, a tremendous force erupted. Not only did it prevent the Raikage from withdrawing his fist, but it also lifted him off the ground.

The Raikage's feet left the ground instantly.

It had been a long time since he had experienced being lifted like this.

Whoosh!

Hashirama swung around, using the Raikage like a weapon, and slammed him heavily into the ground behind him.

Boom!

A vibrating sound echoed.

The Raikage crashed to the ground, the surrounding stones shattered upon impact. Thanks to his robust muscles, he suffered only minor injuries, but his pride took a significant hit.

"You're as good as dead!"

The Raikage got up from the ground, dusting off his clothes, readying himself for another round of attacks.

"Wait a moment."

Hashirama waved his hand casually at the Raikage, signaling him to hold on.

"What? Are you scared now?"

The Raikage furrowed his brows, trying to understand what Hashirama meant. Nevertheless, he paused, somewhat bewildered.

"Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"Third Tsuchikage, Onoki."

"Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi."

"Fifth Kazekage, Gaara."

"And this one..."

"Fourth Raikage, A."

Hashirama named each person, causing their hearts to race with every mention.

"Let's not make things too complicated. All five of you should join forces. It's best if you take it seriously, or someone might end up dead here."
