Chapter 189 Capturing the Third Raikage
Chapter 189 Capturing the Third Raikage
The Third Raikage, A, clutched the horrifying bloody hole in his chest, blood flowing between his fingers and dripping onto the scorched earth, making a sizzling sound.
But he did not fall.
"Come on, you brats of Konoha!"
The Raikage roared, and although his lightning armor was unstable due to his injuries, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, the oppressive aura was still suffocating, reminding Nishikawa Tetsu of when he watched the Sannin fight Hanzo.
"Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!"
"boom!"
The rocks beneath his feet crumbled, and he, like a runaway chariot, disregarded his physical limits and charged once again toward Minato Namikaze, whose chakra was already depleted.
"Minato! Back off!"
A dark blue figure instantly entered the battlefield.
Fugaku Uchiha stood in front of Minato, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning wildly, and black chakra instantly condensed into a huge shield.
"Thump—!!!"
Raikage's fist, imbued with lightning, slammed heavily onto the black shield.
A terrifying shockwave spread outwards, Fugaku's feet dug two deep furrows in the ground, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he held on tightly and did not retreat even half a step.
"Fugaku-senpai..." Minato gasped for breath.
"Stop talking nonsense, you're not going to die yet."
Fugaku gritted his teeth and unleashed his eye power.
An invisible mental pressure instantly enveloped the Raikage, attempting to suppress the raging lightning chakra.
Raikage's figure suddenly froze, as if he were carrying a huge mountain on his back. The lightning on his body flickered wildly, trying to break through this shackle.
"That old man... he's really strong." Fugaku felt his eyes twitching.
Even a wounded tiger is still a tiger.
Nishikawa Tetsuya's figure appeared on the high ground on the flank.
He adjusted the power of the bee stinger while filling the firing slot with three specially made black capsule-shaped objects.
"Minato, Fugaku-senpai, can you still move?"
Nishikawa Tetsu's voice was clearly transmitted to the two of them via radio.
"Barely," Fugaku scoffed.
"Not bad." Minato gripped his kunai tightly, his eyes sharpening again.
"That's good."
Nishikawa Tetsu felt a pang of emotion.
"It's been a long time since the three of us fought together like this."
"The operation plan is simple: Fugaku-senpai will restrict his movements, Minato will create openings, and I will... take him down."
"learn!"
Before the words were even finished, the three of them moved at the same time.
They didn't ask Nishikawa Tetsuya how to take down this monstrous Raikage; as before, they just trusted him and that was it.
The Raikage broke free from Fugaku's eye power suppression and was about to smash the Susanoo in front of him with his fist.
"Flying Thunder God!"
A flash of golden light.
Minato's figure appeared in the Raikage's right blind spot—the very side where he was injured.
"Rasengan!" This attack struck the Raikage's wound with pinpoint accuracy.
The Raikage had no choice but to retreat and use his intact left arm to block.
"Now! Senpai!" Nishikawa Tetsu shouted.
"knew!"
Fugaku dispelled the shield of Susanoo, and the black chakra instantly transformed into countless chains, which tightly bound the Raikage's limbs and torso while he was off balance.
"Freeze for me!"
Fugaku roared, his kaleidoscope spun wildly, and his eye power poured out uncontrollably.
He was somewhat relieved; thankfully, he had taken the medication beforehand, otherwise his pupil strength might not have been sufficient.
The Raikage froze again.
The excruciating pain from the wound, the impact of the Rasengan, and the suppression of the Mangekyou Sharingan—even the strongest shield revealed a fatal flaw at this moment.
"Sleep well, Lord Raikage."
Nishikawa Tetsu stood on high ground, raised his left arm, and locked onto the wound on Raikage's chest.
"Bee Sting - Triple Shot"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three black capsules, accelerated by electromagnetic force, were precisely fired deep into the Raikage's wound.
The capsule bursts the moment it enters the body.
A pale purple, highly concentrated liquid spread throughout his body—this was a super-strong anesthetic specially made by the research institute.
According to the experimental results, even tailed beasts would have to sleep for several days after being affected by this stuff.
"Well……"
The Raikage's body trembled violently.
The drug's numbing effect traveled through his bloodstream and instantly flooded his brain and limbs.
His lightning armor began to flicker, disintegrate, and finally went out completely.
Those muscles, once as strong as steel, finally lost their strength and became loose.
"The... brats of Konoha..."
The light in Raikage's eyes began to fade, but he still managed to stay upright, using his last bit of willpower to look at the three people in front of him.
The Uchiha clan's Gundam, the speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and incomprehensible scientific ninja tools.
"Cough cough... What a... terrifying generation..."
With a final, unwilling sigh, the Third Raikage's massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The battlefield fell silent.
"Huff... huff..."
Fugaku deactivated the kaleidoscope, swayed, and almost fell, but was caught by Minato who rushed over.
"it's over."
Fugaku covered his stinging eyes and looked at the Raikage lying on the ground, a sense of indescribable accomplishment welling up inside him.
The three of them really joined forces to take down one of the Five Kage.
Nishikawa Tetsu jumped down from the height, walked to the Raikage's side, and checked his pulse.
Then, he skillfully took out sealing talismans and covered the Raikage's entire body before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"It seems that the teamwork of Class 5 hasn't gotten rusty yet."
Nishikawa Tetsu smiled and looked at the two of them.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the three of them, casting long shadows.
The child who once struggled to survive on the battlefield of the Land of Rain has now grown into a being capable of shaking the ninja world.
"Let's go back."
As he raised the water gate over Fugaku, a bright smile appeared on his face.
"I still have to write a battle report when I get back. I wonder how the pursuit is going with Jiraiya-sensei."
"What else can we do? It's just a one-sided massacre." Nishikawa Tetsu shook his head.
"I want to eat barbecue," Fugaku suddenly said, his voice weak. "Che, the bill is on me."
"Hey! Senior! You're the captain of the police department! And the young head of the Uchiha clan, you don't need to worry about a little money?"
"I have an eye injury; I'm a patient," Fugaku said matter-of-factly.
No matter what, he was determined to kill Nishikawa Tetsuya once, and even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't stop him.
"..."
Nishikawa Tetsu sighed helplessly.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay."
