章 215: Ch-215 The reason found.
The result was not as surprising as Inoichi had informed; Naruto was allowed to participate in the war with the due permission of both the Raikage and the Hokage. After Onoki, the Tsuchikage, confirmed that Naruto was indeed permitted to join the war, he was finally convinced.
While Onoki was conversing with Inoichi and clarifying matters regarding Naruto's involvement, Naruto found himself engaged in combat with the Third Raikage. Amidst the chaos of battle, Naruto launched a fierce attack with his Rasengan, but it failed to even scratch the formidable Third Raikage. Instead, the force of the Raikage's counterattack sent Naruto reeling backward, surprised by the overwhelming strength of his opponent.
Undeterred, Naruto prepared to unleash his powerful 'Rasenshuriken' technique upon the Raikage. However, before he could execute his plan, the Third Raikage swiftly evaded the impending attack, moving with surprising agility in a specific direction.
"What the hell? Where are you going, abandoning the battle?" shouted Naruto in astonishment. The unexpected turn of events left him bewildered and determined to pursue the elusive Raikage, despite the uncertainty of what lay ahead.
Onoki, the Tsuchikage, too, was taken aback by the sudden turn of events, and he swiftly followed in the direction the Raikage was departing. Not only Onoki, but also elite ninjas like Temari, recognized the gravity of the situation and trailed behind the Third Raikage.
However, as they continued their pursuit, the complexity of the situation increased. They observed with growing concern as the Second Mizukage and Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, also moved in tandem with the Third Raikage.
Amidst this confusion, Gaara, who had been trailing behind Rasa, noticed Onoki soaring through the air. Sensing the urgency, he hastened to catch up and inquired, "Tsuchikage, what is happening here?"
Onoki, with a furrowed brow, replied, "I am as puzzled as you are. We must simply continue to follow, and hopefully, clarity will come."
Their questions were soon answered when the Third Raikage, Rasa, and the Second Mizukage abruptly came to a halt. From ahead, emerging from the dust cloud, a young man dressed in black with piercing sky-blue eyes and a wooden crutch in hand began to approach.
The tension in the air was palpable as the young man drew nearer. It was none other than Jiryoku, whose unexpected presence added another layer of mystery to the unfolding events.
Observing the unfolding events, Gaara spoke up, his voice tinged with realization, "Now I understand why the Third Raikage's movements were so hurried. It seems they were aware of Jiryoku's imminent arrival, and to confront him, it's clear that all the Kages will be required, without a doubt."
"You're absolutely correct," Onoki affirmed, his expression grave. "If it's indeed him, then there's no doubt that the controller of the Kages' 'Edo Tensei' will not be complacent."
"If I'm not mistaken," Temari interjected, her brow furrowed in concentration, "he specializes in lightning release and wind release, correct?"
Naruto, ever ready to contribute to the discussion, replied to Temari's question, his tone confident, "No, to be precise, he has not only mastered lightning release and wind release, but he has fused them into a unique 'Kekkei Genkai' known as 'Gale Release'."
The Second Mizukage, intrigued by this revelation, sought further clarification. "Such a prodigy has emerged in our world? But to which village does he belong? I don't see any ninja headband on him." His curiosity was palpable as he scanned the mysterious figure approaching in the distance.
Onoki replied, his voice tinged with admiration, "Indeed, he is the most brilliant genius ever seen. He surpasses even the First Hokage in genius. He was once a part of Konoha, but due to certain circumstances, he now works directly under the Fire Country and thus doesn't belong to any ninja village."
Approaching the 'Edo Tensei' manifestations of all the Kages without fear, Jiryoku stood a few feet away and addressed them, his demeanor confident, "Quite a warm welcome you've prepared for me, Kabuto. But I hope you're not under the illusion that they can stop me."
Suddenly, Kabuto's voice emanated from the Raikage's body, its tone calculated, "Of course, I'm not foolish enough to think so. I'm preparing a worthy opponent for you, but that will require time, and these Kages will suffice to buy me that amount of time."
"Hmm, I see," said Jiryoku, his eyes narrowing in thought as he processed the information.
"Then prepare as soon as possible, because I don't believe they will be able to hold me for long," declared Jiryoku. Although this statement might seem arrogant, to Jiryoku, it was simply stating a fact. The tension in the air heightened as everyone braced themselves for the impending confrontation.
Kabuto remained silent, his departure signaling the beginning of preparations for the resurrection of Uchiha Madara. Before leaving, however, he designated Jiryoku as the primary target for the attacks of the 'Edo Tensei' Kages, a decision that would soon be put into action.
The first to initiate an assault was Rasa, his control over a vast amount of gold dust allowing him to engulf Jiryoku in its shimmering embrace. Once Jiryoku was ensnared, Rasa unleashed the devastating 'Gold Dust Imperial Funeral,' conjuring a colossal shockwave that buried Jiryoku within the golden deluge.
"Will he survive such a powerful assault?" inquired the Second Mizukage, his concern evident in his tone.
Gaara, though silent, harbored a quiet confidence, knowing that Jiryoku possessed the resilience to withstand such formidable attacks.
For a fleeting moment, silence descended upon the battlefield. Rasa, aware of the potency of his technique, shook his head, convinced of Jiryoku's inability to endure. His skepticism was shared by the Third Raikage and the Second Mizukage, who observed with uncertainty. However, their doubts were swiftly dispelled as a deafening explosion erupted from Jiryoku's location. Accompanied by the resounding declaration of "Gravity Push," all the surrounding gold dust surged away from Jiryoku in a breathtaking display of power, resembling the parting of waves before a mighty force.
