Chapter 285 A New Dharma Body Level Powerhouse!
Ding!
A flash of white light, followed by a crisp sound of metal colliding with stone.
The axe formed from lightning vanished completely from people's sight!
Silently!
The Third Raikage's pupils contracted; White Fang's blade was much faster than he had imagined!
Sakumo Hatake instantly appeared in front of the Konoha ninja, holding an unremarkable dagger and waving it at the Third Raikage.
A blade of light, shaped like a full moon, was right next to the Third Raikage's face in the blink of an eye!
The Third Raikage reacted quickly, forming a layer of armor on his face with chakra!
Hiss!
The blade struck the mask!
It pierced through the Lightning Release Armor and the protection of Chakra Mode!
The residual potential energy left a scratch on the Third Raikage's face, from which blood flowed out!
"Sakumo Hatake!" A hint of fear flashed across the Third Raikage's face.
Too fast, too lethal!
Is there really such a big difference between the Dharma Body level and the Shadow level?
In fact, the gap will only widen!
Only those who can directly and overwhelmingly defeat ordinary Jonin can be called 'Kage'.
Without using forbidden techniques, it would take three to five elite Jonin working together to possibly hold off a Kage-level powerhouse, and even then, it wouldn't be an evenly matched contest!
If the Dharma Body level doesn't have an absolute advantage over the Shadow level, why create a separate realm?
"Slash!" Sakumo Hatake didn't use any ninjutsu; relying solely on numerical values, he slashed with the White Fang!
The Third Raikage was on high alert, blinking rapidly!
With each blink, Sakumo Hatake got closer to him!
My eyes can see clearly, but my movements can't keep up!
If I can't keep up, then I won't!
The Third Raikage closed his eyes, focused intently, and unleashed all the chakra within his body!
His body spun at high speed like a windmill!
Lightning Armor: Protective Reversal!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The clash between White Fang and Thunder Armor!
As the lightning gradually dissipated, Hatake Sakumo returned to his original spot, grabbed his sleeve, and gently wiped his white teeth a few times.
The Third Raikage was sent flying backwards and landed on the ground, lying flat and looking up at the sky, panting heavily.
The difference between the Dharma Body level and the Shadow level is indeed huge!
The Third Raikage stiffly twisted his neck and looked up at Sakumo Hatake.
"As expected of Konoha's White Fang!"
The Third Raikage struggled to his feet, a flicker of resentment crossing his mind.
In recent years, in order to close the gap with Konoha Village, he has been training hard every day and has used nearly one-fifth of the village's annual wealth to research the Thunder God Armor!
Don't underestimate one-fifth; for a ninja village where expenses are almost equal to income, it's a huge sum of money!
Even if it goes to this extent.
In the end, he was reduced to a defeated opponent who managed to hold his own against Sakumo Hatake for one round!
"Raikage, you should retreat. I don't want to kill you today." Hatake Sakumo sheathed his White Fang.
The gap between the two is quite large!
But it wasn't a match that was decided in just a few rounds!
If the stalemate drags on, it could attract other top-tier Kage-level powerhouses to attack Konoha, which would be disastrous.
He's fine, but the Konoha squad behind him will probably be wiped out.
Thinking of this, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but complain about Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision. Why did he have to bring several ninja squads into dangerous areas just to show off?
An elite squad?
If you can't even handle a Shadow, what kind of elite are you?
Sakumo Hatake feigned nonchalance, partly to intimidate the Third Raikage and several other Kage-level figures.
Killing the Third Raikage would bring him no benefit whatsoever.
The Hidden Cloud Village must have already selected the Fourth Raikage!
Not all villages are like Konoha, where even the Fourth Hokage's name was never mentioned!
Sakumo Hatake sighed.
Time is a cruel knife for taijutsu ninjas!
The Third Raikage, renowned for his taijutsu, is not young anymore, and his body has long been declining!
However, logically speaking, the method of refining lightning has already been leaked.
Why didn't the Third Raikage train?
The Thunder Gathering Refining Method can slow down aging!
"OI, White Fang, what do you take the Kage of a village for?" The Third Raikage cracked his neck, stood up from the ground, and lightning flashed once more: "Are you pitying me?"
This time, the Thunder are completely different!
It is no longer violent!
The Third Raikage's mindset has always been that Kumogakure is invincible.
This mindset supported his rapid progress in the field of physical skills.
The effects of ninjutsu and mental strength are extremely significant!
Once their beliefs crumble, at best their physical skills will decline drastically, and at worst, the ninja will become depressed and commit suicide.
However, the Third Raikage was not significantly affected.
Since the emergence of a powerful figure who dominated the ninja world in the new era of Konoha, his mentality has undergone a subtle change.
This change altered the core of his spiritual power!
Today, he has finally managed to simply fuse this spiritual power with chakra!
Too much rigidity leads to breakage!
Uchiha Yuuki received messages from the Tree of Destiny and the Tree of the Mind.
Another Dharmakaya-level being has been born!
He followed the line of fate, gazing thoughtfully at the Third Raikage not far away.
The newly born Dharma Body level powerhouse in the ninja world will directly establish a connection with the two divine trees he controls.
Upon closer examination, there seems to be no problem.
The primary function of the Otsutsuki Divine Tree is plunder, not to fill gaps in the ninja world or contribute to the advancement of ninjas.
With the birth of the Dharma Body level, it was only natural that contact was established with Yuuki's side.
Pure chakra transformed into arcs of lightning!
The Third Raikage was instantly turned into a dried-up 'human body'!
This is a sign of excessive chakra extraction!
Sakumo Hatake looked at the resolute Third Raikage with a complicated expression: "You've found the key, so why don't you return to Kumogakure, train to your peak, and then fight again?"
"You no longer need the Purple Spirit Flower to break through to the Dharma Body level."
"I can wait, but my little brats can't!" The Third Raikage took a step forward, his figure growing even thinner, yet his eyes shone even brighter: "What's the use of waiting?"
"Wait until the fighting spirit is completely lost! Wait until internal strife erupts! Wait until it falls apart? Or wait until Konoha produces only a handful of Dharma Body level experts?"
"I'm getting old!"
"Then I will use my broken body to find a way out for the children!"
hum!
Chakra is enough!
An eleven-meter-tall phantom avatar materialized behind the Third Raikage!
He forced a weak smile and said, "I... I did it!"
"Sigh!" Hatake Sakumo's dead fish eyes turned serious. He closed his eyes, and an immense, unstoppable chakra quickly gathered into a human shape!
A Dharma body, a full fifty meters tall, took shape behind him!
The Third Raikage's smile froze on his face, and he gave a dry, bitter laugh. "So, the difference is this big!"
"However, let me see just how big the gap really is!"
Swish!
Two figures, far apart, clashed instantly!
A fierce clash between raging thunder and sharp slashes!
A piece of land has been cut into a no-man's-land!
None of the ordinary ninjas present could intervene in this battle!
Even the battle between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Nawaki Senju was forced to end!
All the ninjas' eyes turned towards Sakumo Hatake and the Third Raikage!
"Are you... are you kidding me? Is this really the power of a ninja?"
"With that immense chakra, they're no longer human, right? They're just ninja beasts that look like humans, aren't they?"
"..."
Ninjas from small to medium-sized countries have never seen much of the world.
I was completely stunned by the shocking scene before my eyes!
