Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Lightning flashed in the woods, mixed with flying wind blades.

After the Third World War, there was a period of peace, and many ninjas had forgotten the last time they had seen such a high-level duel.

And because both of them are good at ninjutsu, from the beginning of the fight, it was a head-on collision with sparks flying.

Aoba has no advantage in strength and speed, but he can still fight with the Raikage. This is due to his good weapon, the Kusanagi sword.

Although there are more than one Kusanagi sword in this world, it is still an absolute divine weapon. Even if the Raikage uses the Lightning Chakra Mode, he still dare not use his flesh and blood body to directly collide with the Kusanagi sword.

Qingye's wind blade couldn't hurt him before. That was because Qingye used ordinary ninja swords before.

Those swords could not transmit chakra, so he could only release chakra from his hands, wrap the swords from the outside, and then add wind elements to form his own wind-based ninjutsu.

At that time, not only was his chakra not amplified by the ninja sword, but a part of it had to be consumed to protect the ninja sword.

Now, with the Kusanagi Sword, a top-level divine weapon, chakra is directly transmitted through the blade. One's own chakra combines with the Kusanagi Sword and strengthens each other, making the Kusanagi Sword even more terrifying in actual combat.

Even a body as strong as the Raikage's did not dare to touch it casually.

"So strong, he can fight against the Raikage without losing." The surrounding Konoha ninjas were so excited. The originally low momentum of the opponent who had the Kage but they did not had become high.

Kirabi, who was not far away, knew that something was wrong.

At this point, the Raikage has actually already lost. Again, because of the inequality between the two sides, when the Raikage faced Aoba, he should have directly demonstrated his overwhelming advantage.

After all, the strongest force of a village faced the regular force of the hostile ninja village. If they could not kill the opponent instantly, they would have completely lost in terms of momentum and face.

It would be fine if this battle could be won in the end. But this is still the heartland of the Fire Nation. I failed to quickly gain an overwhelming advantage, and from a big picture perspective, I have basically already lost.

The Raikage noticed this, but he did not stop. Instead, he intensified his attack again. Because the more he did this, the more he had to kill Aoba.

They had waited so long until Konoha was so weak. If another figure of White Fang's caliber appeared, their waiting time would be completely wasted.

With the force exerted by the Raikage, Aoba felt the pressure again.

He never used his full strength because he didn't have as much chakra as the Raikage. He could only rely on the bonus of fairy arts and the sharpness of the Kusanagi sword to delay the opponent.

The fight between the two sides was actually completely different from the conventional ninja fight. It was more like two samurai fighting for their lives.

The whole fight lasted less than five minutes, and Aoba already began to feel that his chakra could not keep up.

His Sage Mode was perfect. He hadn't tested its limits yet. But his chakra was totally insufficient.

Once the chakra is exhausted, the Sage Mode cannot be maintained.

Under the heavy pressure, Qingye had already started to prepare for retreat. However, at this moment, he glanced at the distance in an unpredictable way. Then, he used up his last chakra to fight against the Raikage.

Chiyo Mai, the master of the Thunder Slashing Chakra Mode, was the master of the Thunder Shadow. Aoba used three consecutive air-cutting flashes, but was directly broken by the Thunder Shadow.

At the moment when his sword had lost its momentum and had not yet regained its strength, the speed of the Raikage suddenly increased again. His right hand formed into a spear shape and stabbed directly into his chest.

Qingye quickly swung his sword back, but he was still a step slower than his opponent.

He only felt a violent force hitting his chest, and then he retreated. The next second, his whole body flew backwards.

However, what made the Raikage frown was that the moment he hit Aoba, Aoba's left hand performed a whirlwind ninjutsu.

This technique had absolutely no killing power. It just stirred up a lot of dust, completely covering the scene of the two people fighting.

As a result, the people around him hardly saw his fatal blow.

The next second, Qingye flew backwards and crashed directly into the crowd of Konoha ninjas behind him.

He leaned his Kusanagi sword on the ground, half-knelt on the ground, covered his chest with one hand, and said nothing.

Several medical ninjas around rushed forward, ready to treat him. But when they got close, they saw Aoba slowly stand up and release his left hand that was covering his chest.

At this time, the surrounding Konoha ninjas clearly saw that Aoba's clothes were completely torn on his chest. There was a little red mark on his chest, which seemed to be caused by the fight just now.

But other than that, he didn't have any other scars on his body.

"It was a close call, Lord Raikage. You almost pierced my chest."

Aoba took a few steps forward and continued his verbal attack, while the Raikage on the opposite side had a gloomy expression on his face.

Others didn't see it clearly, but he himself was very clear. His previous attack definitely hit Qingye's chest.

Although the opponent's Kusanagi sword returned to defend and did not penetrate completely, but the previous blow definitely broke the bones in the opponent's chest.

That blow would have crippled the opponent, even if he didn't die. But now it seems that he is completely unscathed. Such a strange sight made the Raikage a little unbelievable.

He knew that Qingye must have played some tricks. The dust raised by the other party at the end was to cover up his tricks.

But the Raikage didn't roll his eyes, and when Qingye flew backwards, he didn't see clearly what the other party did.

But no matter what they did, it must be a very shocking secret. The other party didn't even trust the people of Konoha, so they had to use this method to cover it up.

The killing intent in the Raikage's heart surged. But at the same time, his fear also deepened. He lowered his head and glanced at his right hand. Now, there were only three fingers left on that hand.

The Raikage's previous move successfully hit Aoba's chest, but Aoba's sword also arrived at that time.

If he continued, Aoba would die. The Raikage's right hand was broken.

The Raikage, who had already secured victory, would naturally not make such an exchange with Aoba. As a Kage famous for his ninjutsu, a broken right hand would be a fatal blow to him.

Therefore, he chose to retreat after one strike, hoping to win this time without getting hurt. According to the previous fights, this decision was not a problem.

But he didn't expect that at the last moment, Qingye's sword suddenly became faster. In the end, another finger on his right hand was cut off.

Including the last time when his little finger was cut off by that strange lightning ninjutsu, he had fought with Aoba twice in a row, and the other party broke two of his fingers. Such a record was the shame of his life.

The most important thing is that the boy recovered from his injuries by some unknown means.

In this way, from the outside world's perspective, Qingye only had his clothes torn on his chest, but he had a broken finger.

I actually lost this fight!!!
