Chapter 258: Raikage Vs Hokage!

"Boom!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Enemy attack! Hurry up and stop them!"

"Ah! Help!"

"Cuckoo...!"

As Ai and others rushed out, the scene in front of them already left them in shock.

Cloud Ninja's camp was flooded with water, creating chaos. Waves, dozens of meters high, had washed away Cloud Ninja's camp barrier.

Countless Cloud Ninjas drifted with the current in the water. Occasionally, one could see Cloud Ninjas submerged, flickering and struggling, but it was as embarrassing and ridiculous as if electricity was leaking.

"Damn! Senju Tobirama!"

Observing the handsome man standing above the raging waves, who was not Senju Tobirama!

Tobirama alone summoned a terrifying attack like the sea, and Cloud Ninja was ill-prepared for such a defense.

Lightning Release claimed to restrain water Release, but in reality, it was only because water conducted electricity. The ninjutsu of these Cloud Ninjas could not harm Tobirama. Moreover, everyone submerged in the water risked accidentally injuring allies!

No one could anticipate everything, not even Black Zetsu, Madara Uchiha, Takeshi, who was familiar with the original plot, and especially not Ai.

Originally, it was thought Tobirama would be overwhelmed guarding against the Uchiha clan. However, Tobirama had the courage to launch a counterattack directly against him.

Tobirama wasn't afraid of a Uchiha clan rebellion because of his courage, confidence to negotiate with the Uchiha clan, and the determination to bear huge losses!

Uchiha was no longer the formidable enemy of the past. Hyuga was content with the status quo, and Senju had the support of the rest of the clan and civilian ninjas. Even if there were disturbances, Tobirama was determined to suppress everything with his own strength!

On the contrary, Tobirama also saw this as an opportunity to test and resolve the Uchiha clan once and for all!

Konoha's Uchiha and Kumogakure's golden and silver horns were also sources of concern.

But Ai was anxious to conclude everything and return to settle matters at home, while Tobirama wanted to teach the enemy who dared to provoke Konoha a painful lesson.

In this way, Ai was not fully prepared for the judgment and suffered a significant loss!

"Hateful! Tobirama, let me meet you!"

Ai was furious, his face growing darker, and he entered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, resembling a fiery meteor rushing towards Tobirama, standing on the raging waves, looking down at everything coldly.

"Hehe, it's good that you came. Let me ask, how can you dare to invade my country of fire!"

Tobirama said coldly, forming seals rapidly. The vast Chakra turned into a massive wave of water, sweeping in with astonishing force!

"Water Release·Big Explosive Water Rush!"

Tobirama directly unleashed his ultimate move. The Land of Rain's environment was humid, with continuous rain, making water abundant and enhancing the power of water Release.

Tobirama was in his element in such conditions. If others had fought him here, they would have suffered even more.

"Such scale... Damn! You guys, back away. I'll deal with him alone!"

Ai shouted angrily.

Facing the colossal waves, dozens of meters high, covering the sky like a nightmare, even the strongest like Ai felt his scalp tingle, while ordinary Cloud Ninjas despaired!

If the future third Raikage, Ai, was the strongest in one-on-one combat, then Senju Tobirama was the contemporary king of group attacks.

These enormous waves, like landslides and tsunamis, swept across, obliterating any formations and troops!

This was also Ai's first encounter with Tobirama since the first ninja war, feeling the pain akin to facing the golden and silver horns.

Ai entered a violent state instantly, his thunder and lightning changing from blue to a dazzling purple-white. His blue veins protruded, hair stood on end, and his expression turned ferocious like a beast.

Ai was clearly entering a thunderstorm!

Reaching this intensity without gaining momentum put a tremendous load on the body. Ai gritted his teeth, gathering countless electric cocoons on his hands, compressing them into a terrifyingly blazing ball of light!

"This... what is this?!"

Tobirama, emerging from the waves, was equally stunned witnessing the thunder and lightning ball that tore through the sky and earth. He felt an overwhelming and perilous sensation.

"Hehe... This is a technique I devised based on the Eight-Tails' move, compressing chakra and releasing it in a single breath!"

Observing Tobirama's terrified expression, Ai grinned grimly, blood faintly escaping from the corners of his mouth.

Ai lacked the theoretical foundation for chakra deformation and qualitative changes in later generations. He also lacked the finesse in chakra control seen in the Rasengan technique. However, Ai's strength lay in his unusually robust physical prowess, directly mimicking the tailed beasts and forcefully compressing chakra.

"Lightning Release · Billion Furious Forbidden Thunder!"

Blood vessels burst in Ai's eyes as he bellowed, turning his hands outward, propelling the lightning ball towards the approaching giant wave.

"Oops!"

In Tobirama's horrified gaze, the lightning ball collided with the massive wave, resulting in a powerful explosion.

"Bang————!!"

An instant, a terrifying shockwave erupted, a ring of water carrying high-voltage current burst out, and the rising smoke was overshadowed by a more dazzling light.

Heaven and earth fell silent. Countless Konoha ninjas and Cloud Ninja were engulfed by the massive waves, succumbing to electric currents. Cloud Ninja's station was nearly submerged by the flood.

"Ah ah ah!"

Screams echoed slowly; numerous people struggled in the electrified water, corpses floated, carried away into the distance.

Ai stood with a somber expression, surrounded by water vapor, electric light coursing through his body turned blue.

It was truly astonishing that the enormous water wave was directly electrolyzed by his thunderbolt.

Yet, Tobirama's water Release was on a grand scale. A colossal wave was annihilated in front of Ai, but more waves advanced toward Cloud Ninja. The Lightning Release explosion caused the current to spread into the water, escalating casualties.

Lightning Release countered Water Release, making it challenging to employ against Tobirama. The battlefield was filled with sorrow.

"Huh—it's genuinely dangerous. I underestimated you, Ai."

Tobirama, still standing on a wave, appeared slightly embarrassed.

His armor was torn and soaked, a consequence of being affected earlier and losing control of the water Release. His white hair was disheveled, face displaying embarrassment, and the corners of his mouth twitching from the impact of high-voltage electricity.

"It wasn't easy to sense just now. If that were a real hit, I'd be seriously injured. Truly perilous!"

Tobirama discarded the cracked armor on his shoulders, holding a special kunai in his hand.

In the previous moment, Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God to dodge Ai's fatal attack, albeit being slightly affected.

"Haha, the fastest ninja in the ninja world lives up to its reputation!"

Ai glared at Tobirama, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

While dealing with Sarutobi, Ai hadn't exerted himself as much, and both sides had reservations. Unexpectedly, Tobirama's Flying Thunder God technique proved formidable. Even Ai's strongest move struggled against it, and the water Release extended across the army.

Tobirama had to be restrained; otherwise, with his large-scale water Release, Cloud Ninja would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.

"Tobirama! Let me see if your water Release can break through my Lightning Release defense! I'll fight you to the death!"

Ai roared angrily, despite the considerable physical damage from the previous move. He mustered his strength to charge at Tobirama again.

His speed, even without considering the Flying Thunder God, was unparalleled in the ninja world. His physical strength matched Tobirama's, necessitating engagement.

"Humph! Ridiculous!"

Tobirama sneered, refusing to be provoked. Raikage's challenge was not something either army could concede before battle. Despite understanding Ai's intentions, Tobirama charged towards him!
