An endless abyss of pitch-black ravine extended as far as the eye could see from the beginning of the battlefield to the distant horizon.
"As expected..."
"He managed to evade again..."
With a single stroke, Yu cleaved through the entire frozen battlefield before him, but the towering figure of the Third Raikage, flickering with electric light, was nowhere to be seen. Yu's Observation Haki, unleashed with all his might, immediately set off warning bells.
"You've finally shown a opening... you little brat!!"
Sure enough, the deep and resonant voice of the Third Raikage echoed.
In Yu's abruptly widened eyes, he saw a burly figure surrounded by lightning appearing right in front of him.
This is bad...
Too late...
Instinctively wanting to control Michael to deploy a Protective Barrier to block the Third Raikage's attack, Yu realized that it was already too late in the face of the Third Raikage's ghostly speed, like that of lightning.
Thread Bound Shield!!
The Thread Fruit ability activated within him instantly condensed into a resilient defensive shield in front of him.
Anger Lightning Axe!!
At the same time, the lower body of the Third Raikage unleashed a roar like a thunderous dragon, delivering a powerful kick.
"Boom!"
The seemingly invincible Thread Bound Shield before him was easily pierced by the Third Raikage, as fragile as a sheet of paper. Yu's hands, covered in Armament Haki, instinctively blocked in front of him. He felt a sharp pain in his body as an unimaginable force rushed towards him. He was sent flying like a cannonball!
"Bang, bang, bang..."
After shattering numerous frozen sculptures on the battlefield and carving a long trench in the ground, Yu finally collapsed on the distant icy surface.
"Yu!!"
"Lord Yu?!"
Witnessing Yu being kicked away by the Third Raikage, Akimichi Doto and the Konoha Ninja present were shocked. Countless shurikens and Ninjutsu rained down on the Third Raikage in a furious assault.
"Hmph, overestimating your abilities..."
Facing the onslaught of attacks raining down like a storm from the Konoha Ninja, the Third Raikage, relying on the formidable defensive power of his lightning shield, directly withstood all the attacks.
In an instant, a simple Hell Stab left a group of Konoha Ninja lying in pools of blood, showcasing the vast difference in power between the two sides.
"Enough..."
"You're not even his match; withdraw now!"
Just as it seemed the Third Raikage was about to single-handedly slaughter the entire Konoha Ninja force, a voice echoed again on the frozen battlefield, causing everyone to halt their actions.
"Yu?!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Akimichi Doto turned around with joy.
"How is this possible..."
"This kid hasn't died yet?!"
Watching the shaky figure standing up on the frozen battlefield, the Third Raikage furrowed his brow deeply.
Being hit head-on by his full-power Taijutsu in the previous situation, even an adult Kage-level ninja would struggle to endure, let alone a nine-year-old boy.
Cough, cough...
Feeling the gaze of everyone on the battlefield, Yu finally stood up again on the icy surface. He coughed a couple of times and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The black Haki-covered hands trembled slightly. If it weren't for the defense of the Thread Bound Shield and the hardening effect of Armament Haki just now, his entire body might have been shattered by the Third Raikage's kick.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
After all, the opponent was a ninja capable of engaging in hand-to-hand combat with tailed beasts. If the Third Raikage had used Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite just now, Yu wouldn't have had the chance to stand up again.
Yin Healing Wound Destruction!!
After standing up again, Yu's powerful chakra circulated through his body, and potent Medical Ninjutsu continuously healed the injuries inflicted by the immense force of the Third Raikage.
Yin Healing Wound Blast!!
Not only that, under the control of Parasitic Threads, Tyrant, who had already come behind Yu, raised a massive bear paw and pressed it on Yu's back. Instantly, a huge, round ripple of light red color, like a balloon, emerged from Yu's body.
Pain, fatigue, and the injuries from the heavy blow by the Third Raikage just moments ago – all of them were completely expelled from Yu's body by Tyrant's palm. In an instant, Yu's body and spirit were restored to their optimal state.
"How could such severe injuries be completely healed in the blink of an eye?!"
"Impossible! What level of Medical Ninjutsu is that?!"
Seeing Yu, who was on the brink of death after being heavily struck by the Third Raikage, suddenly revive and bounce back, not only the Third Raikage but even the surrounding Konoha Ninja widened their eyes in disbelief.
"So formidable... This kind of Medical Ninjutsu..."
"Even Lady Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin, might not be able to do this, right?"
Witnessing Yu completely recover in an instant, the Konoha Ninja present couldn't help but express their astonishment.
"Hmph, seems like I underestimated you..."
"No wonder you earned such a reputation on the battlefield at such a young age..."
As he watched Yu, now fully restored and approaching him with three Devil Puppets, the Third Raikage's face flashed with a tinge of blue aura. "But this time, I'll use One-Finger Nukite to directly smash your head, and I won't give you any chance for self-healing..."
Crackle!!
As the words fell, the palm of the Third Raikage flickered with violent electric light, and the terrifying Hell Stab had already taken the form of One-Finger Nukite's The Strongest Spear.
"Do you know..."
"Why my clothes are designed like this?"
Facing the Third Raikage, who locked onto him like a primordial behemoth, Yu seemed completely oblivious to the terrifying killing intent directed at him. Instead, he casually removed the slightly damaged black ninja jacket, revealing a white short-sleeved vest underneath. Unlike ordinary ninja vests, Yu's white vest lacked fabric even on the back.
"What's the meaning of this?"
Seeing Yu's inexplicable actions, the Third Raikage furrowed his brow, feeling an inexplicable unease.
"Open your eyes wide..."
"This move surpasses even your Hidden Cloud NinTaijutsu."
"It is the Ultimate Battle Technique."
With an indifferent voice echoing through the battlefield alongside the cold wind, amidst the puzzled gazes of everyone, Yu stood on the icy surface. He raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand, forming a simple hand seal before him.
"Boom!!"
Before anyone in the vicinity could react, the entire expanse of air in front of them suddenly exploded!
As all the chakra throughout his entire body reached its utmost concentration, a violently compressed ninjutsu erupted fiercely from Yu. His two arms generated immensely turbulent hurricanes on each side, instantly shattering the battlefield's icy surface beneath his feet.
The potent ninjutsu, carrying an enormous amount of chakra, manifested as a pair of white lightning wings attached to Yu's shoulders and back. In an instant, he appeared as if a divine being had descended.
One fold...
Two folds...
Three folds...
Ten folds!!
Not only that, in this brief moment, the strength throughout Yu's entire body seemed to escalate endlessly, increasing exponentially. After soaring tenfold, his power finally stabilized completely.
