Chapter 245 - – 242 Unruly Ay!
Followed by a crisp sound, the upper armor and some of the bones of Susanoo cracked inch-by-inch, and soon the cracks spread to some parts of Susanoo…
But Raikage wasn\'t finished there…
Elbow Bolt, Lightning Oppression Horizontal, Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop, Lightning Straight, were some of the attacks used by him one-after-another, without even giving Homusubi any time to take a breath who was busy fighting Killer Bee.
Boom…
Once again, a heavy fist slammed…
Boom…
Again!
Boom…
Again!
Boom… the Raikage\'s fist that was especially heavy this time again slammed at the cracked chest of the Susanoo, finally, the Susanoo couldn\'t bear the damage anymore and with a loud noise, it was completely shattered from the front.
Seeing that there was an opening, his figure again flashed and broke inside the Susanoo, leaping high, he rushed towards Homusubi while shouting, "Go to hell!"
Homusubi\'s face inside the mask was a bit panicked, this A-B combo turned out to be completely unreasonable that he didn\'t even know what to say anymore.
Firstly, Homusubi didn\'t expect that in just a few years Raikage has become so reckless that he dared to use pure brute force with Lightning Release Chakra Armor to battle with Susanoo.
And what\'s more surprising is that he actually managed to get past the so-called unbreakable defense of Susanoo.
While Homusubi was a bit panicked as Raikage was approaching him and was just about to hit him, suddenly a black barrier made of iron sand appeared between the two while another arm of iron sand dragged Homusubi backward.
Raikage\'s attacks obviously pierced through the Iron Sand barrier but it also created a short time window for Homusubi before Raikage gains enough momentum again to start another round of attacks and that small opportunity was enough for the other hand to pull Homusubi back.
At the same instant Homusubi retreated backward and got some distance between himself and the Raikage who was now covered with Iron Sand all over, he urged his chakra through the Mangekyou Sharingan and again used Susanoo.
Other than Susanoo he doesn\'t really have any better way to fight both Raikage and Killer Bee at this moment, as a result, he used Susanoo, so Susanoo again appeared on the battlefield.
"ROAR!"
However, this time, the Susanoo was different from the previous as it was more massive and let out a heart quivering roar, immediately afterward, golden flames covered the entire Susanoo body, these flames seemed to have a soul of their own, they seemed alive. The Chakra Swords that protruded out of his hands were now covered with these golden flames that burned as hot as the sun itself!
Without the slightest hesitation, Homusubi who was inside the armor of Susanoo waved two swords at once slashing towards the Raikage who was currently entangled in Prison Iron Sand Burial.
Slash… Slash…
The two upper to lower slashes cut apart a large cavity in the ground and stirred up a lot of dust and smoke, anything that came in the way was also cut into fragments and turned into ash with ease.
"Did it work?" – Homusubi muttered while trying to observe the area of attack.
The rising smoke and dust were also having an effect on his vision as even Sharingan\'s vision is hindered by smoke, therefore, he was unable to see the entire battlefield clearly.
When the smoke was cleared up by the Wind Style Jutsu used by Fujin, all Homusubi saw was two large ravines in front of him that stretched far away but there was no corpse of Raikage who had actually retreated far away thanks to his brother Bee.
Seeing that the planned attack failed, Homusubi frowned, just when he was confused why the attack field, the Kazekage puppet\'s telepathic message arrived, "The Lightning Release Chakra Armor of Raikage has very strong Lightning Chakra reaction on his body and it is interfering with the electromagnetic field induced by my Magnet Release Chakra!"
Hearing this, Homusubi realized the problem and nodded in understanding.
Magnet Release may be a Kekkei Genkai, which is the result of the fusion of Wind Chakra nature and Earth Chakra Nature, however, its principle and mechanism are quite complicated.
Generally, Wind nature has an advantage over Lightning because of its cutting properties, but Iron Sand is controlled using an electromagnetic field. Therefore, lightning is a weakness of Magnet Release.
In the presence of a strong electric current; the magnetic field would either disrupt or another magnetic field will be induced in the system depending on the direction of the flow of current, ultimately causing the Iron sand attacks to fail.
And Yondaime Raikage\'s Lightning Release Chakra Armor is doing just that Sandaime Kazekage\'s Iron Sand.
Of course, the stronger your Magnet Release chakra the stronger Electric attacks would be needed to disrupt the electromagnetic field, but Yondaime Raikage happens to possesses the strongest Lightning Chakra among the people currently alive, and his lightning Chakra is more than enough to disrupt Sandaime Kazekage puppet\'s Chakra.
\'What to do?\' thought Homusubi as he observed Ay.
At this moment, Ay dusted off the iron sand on his body and looked around the battlefield, there were many spots ignited with that raging golden flames and the temperature of the battlefield was continuously rising, seeing this his expression became a bit dignified.
Just a moment ago, he was about to be cut by that Chakra sword which is covered in those golden flames, and if that attack really hit him, then it would either mean death or he would be forced to cut off the affected part of the body, and both options are unacceptable for him.
\'It appears that I have to be a bit more cautious, the enemy is by no means weak, and seeing that his actions are calm all along, he hasn\'t been cornered enough.\' Thought Raikage as he seriously tried to evaluate the enemy\'s strength.
While Raikage was evaluating Homusubi and the other guy\'s strength, Homusubi was also evaluating Raikage\'s strength.
In terms of speed alone, although the Yondaime Raikage is clearly inferior to \'Yama\' when \'Yama\' uses the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, however, against the current Homusubi, Raikage has an absolute advantage when it comes to speed, and considering how high his defense and brute strength is, it is really impossible for Homusubi to win this battle against Yondaime Raikage with Killer Bee by his side.
\'Sigh… And here I thought that I might be able to give A-B brother\'s some tough time with this weak clone body too, but it appears that I was getting too ahead of myself.\' Sighed Homusubi.
Based on the strength and speed Yondaime Raikage has displayed up to now, Homusubi can judge that the current Yondaime Raikage is clearly stronger than the current Sandaime Hokage. The reason why he is so sure is that he has already experienced Sandaime Hokage\'s strength as Suijin.
Although at that time, Sandaime Hokage was very restrained and did not use his complete strength, Homusubi still feels that Sandaime Hokage who has been getting older has already been surpassed by Yondaime Raikage.
As far as Homusubi can think, other than Yama, only the toad Sannin Jiraiya; when using the Sennin Mode can match up to the Yondaime Raikage.
Aside from the two of them, no matter who they are, it would be almost impossible to defeat Raikage, and because Yama\'s presence in Tenseigan Chakra Mode is unknown to most so Yondaime Raikage feels that no one matches him in terms of speed. This is the most likely reason why Raikage has started to flare up so much and become unruly to such a degree.
\'Fortunately, there was Namikaze Minato during the third great shinobi war who kept A-B Combo in check, otherwise, Kumogakure would have continued the war in the same unrestrained manner.\' – such a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Cough-cough…!" – the blood that he has been suppressing down his throat was no longer restrained and was coughed out violently, \'Shit, this clone is about to reach the limit and will no longer be able to bear it anymore!\'
Realizing that if he didn\'t hurry, he will be in a pickle very soon, Homusubi controlled the Susanoo who brandished four Golden Flame Swords and started to continuously slash towards both Killer Bee who was clad with Hachibi\'s chakra and Ay who was clad with Lightning release Chakra Armor.
Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash… Slash…
The continuous onslaught of slashes started, each slash caused massive damage to the surrounding forest, and curtesy to the golden flames, each slash carried an extreme amount of heat that would melt you alive if not burn you into charcoal with the slightest of contact.
The forest was already engulfed in golden flames, countless trees that were cut in half by the sword winds were now charcoaled in those golden flames, tens of meter deep ravines were left in the surroundings, the sky was also full of black smoke and cloud of eroded dust.
Clearly telling the tale of the apocalypse.
As soon as they were covered in smoke and dust, Homusubi who was coughing turned over and jumped on the Iron Sand platform created by Fujin and said, "Go."
Fujin immediately sprouted iron sand wings at his back and flew away from the battlefield using additional Wind Chakra to increase their flight speed.
