Uchiha Ling was already eager to try. That was the future Fourth Raikage A; fighting him would definitely allow her to test whether her Wind Release Chakra Mode still had room for improvement.
Although her Wind Release Chakra Mode was still relatively simple and she hadn't developed corresponding Ninjutsu, her Taijutsu was enough to deal with the Fourth Raikage A.
"I'll take the first match. Let me see if Konoha has made any progress over the years."
Fourth Raikage A leaped onto the sea surface, his body enveloped in an armor of Lightning Release Chakra. He was already impatient. He usually only fought his father and Killer Bee, either unable to defeat them or unable to kill them, and he couldn't kill them.
Now, facing Konoha Ninja, he had no scruples. Although his Four Finger Nukite was only at the Four Finger Nukite level, dealing with fragile Konoha Anbu was no problem at all.
The number of Kage-level fighters in the battle was three to one. In any case, the Kumogakure had the advantage. He even wanted to be arrogant and achieve a one-on-three victory.
Uchiha Ling was a bit speechless. The opponent stood on the sea with lightning all over him. Wouldn't electrolysis of water produce hydrogen and oxygen? If she ignited the hydrogen with a Great Fireball Technique, she could probably blow him away, right?
"Who from Konoha will come first? But it's all the same, facing me, the strongest of the younger generation, you only have one possibility: failure."
Looking at Fourth Raikage A's boundless arrogance, Minato was not angry but smiled as he looked at Uchiha Ling, who was also full of fighting spirit.
"Uchiha Ling, you go first, no problem, right?"
"No problem! Watch me work."
Uchiha Ling jumped onto the ship's railing, which made her appear more imposing. Uchiha Ling crossed her arms, imitating Uchiha Madara's posture of looking down on people.
"Uchiha Ling, you must be careful. If... if you... don't have a chance to win, then surrender. Don't risk your life."
Shisui looked at Uchiha Ling with some concern. In his opinion, his inability to fight in place of Uchiha Ling was a sign of his incompetence.
"Hahahaha! Do you also want to dance? Who claims to be unrivaled, who dares to say undefeated, not even seen in the Sengoku period."
Uchiha Ling first plagiarized some of the Heaven Emperor's boastful words, wondering if he would come to collect royalties from her.
"You? Are you a dwarf or a child? Are you Konoha looking down on me? Send your strongest."
Fourth Raikage A had a feeling of an old Stone Emperor fighting the Bell of No Beginning, and he immediately started spewing trash talk.
"Oh, am I being underestimated? But even someone as kind as me would get angry at the title 'dwarf,' wouldn't they? Let me shatter your confidence, so you retreat whenever you see me."
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
Uchiha Ling started with a Great Waterfall Technique, intending to give him a cold shower and clear out a wide enough sea area for battle.
A thirty-meter-high wave of water directly formed in front of Uchiha Ling, pushing majestically towards Fourth Raikage A. This display of Ninjutsu immediately made Fourth Raikage A serious.
He had underestimated her a bit. This little loli's Water Release was indeed powerful. Although he wasn't good at large-scale group Ninjutsu, it was impossible to defeat him with just group Ninjutsu. But the Cloud Ninja behind him might not be able to withstand this giant wave.
"Brother, don't worry, with Killer Bee here, I will take care of this giant wave."
Killer Bee grew thick octopus tentacles from behind him, firmly tying down the pirate ship, and then quickly swam out of the Great Waterfall Technique's attack range.
Uchiha Ling stood on the crest of the Great Waterfall Technique, gazing across at Fourth Raikage A, who was twenty to thirty meters below the wave.
Fourth Raikage A's Body Flicker Technique erupted, causing the sea surface beneath him to collapse. He leaped onto the approaching Great Waterfall Technique's wave crest the moment the sea surface's sunken center bulged.
He then rapidly charged towards Uchiha Ling, the light from his Lightning Release armor growing increasingly intense, like a charging Thunder God, bringing with him powerful might and pressure.
"Hey~! Hell Stab: Four Finger Nukite!"
Fourth Raikage A held his hand blade horizontally, moving even faster than before, instantly turning into an afterimage as he rapidly approached Uchiha Ling, his hand blade aimed directly at Uchiha Ling's head.
If she did nothing and took a direct hit to the body, it would undoubtedly result in her brains splattering. This hand blade strike was powerful enough to cut off the Eight-Tails' tentacles.
Uchiha Ling's Revolving Sharingan with three tomoe spun rapidly in her eyes. Coupled with her inherent dynamic vision, Fourth Raikage A's speed was only average in her eyes.
The Wind King Barrier formed by Uchiha Ling's Wind Release Chakra Mode provided defense no weaker than the Lightning Release armor. Chakra surged under Uchiha Ling's feet, activating Swift Release: Downwind, making her speed reach its extreme.
Facing such a highly mobile and highly defensive opponent, using Ninjutsu was not a good idea. Only instant, hand-seal-less Ninjutsu might cause damage.
However, having finally encountered such a high-tolerance punching bag, she naturally wanted to fight hand-to-hand and defeat the opponent with their most proficient ability to create a psychological shadow for them.
Uchiha Ling's speed and Fourth Raikage A's speed had both exceeded the Jonin's perception range. Even Shisui, with his Revolving Sharingan with three tomoe, could only see afterimages.
The Sharingan enhances dynamic vision, but one's own base is also a big problem. For example, Sasuke, even with the Mangekyo Sharingan, could be beaten to tears by Killer Bee, who wasn't particularly skilled in speed.
"Boom~!" The two's earth-shattering hand blades and fists collided, directly exploding the air and creating a vacuum.
The terrifying impact force was like a fierce giant beast crashing through, causing monstrous waves wherever it went.
With a loud "boom," the sea surface was instantly churned upside down by this force, directly raising giant waves over ten meters high!
These giant waves were like moving mountains, surging outwards with overwhelming force.
Immediately after, they collided and shattered, transforming into countless crystal-clear water droplets and fine spray, interweaving in the air to form a dreamlike mist.
This mist spread, casting a mysterious and hazy veil over the entire world.
This prevented the observers from both sides from seeing the situation inside, only hearing thunderous explosions, clearly indicating the intensity of their exchange.
Fourth Raikage A repeatedly used his Hell Stab hand blade, but despite his relentless onslaught, the little loli opposite him could still block it with her bare hands, without taking any damage.
"Ahahaha! Yes, yes, yes! Just like that! Show me the full power of your Lightning Release Chakra Mode! This alone isn't enough to make me go all out!"
Uchiha Ling's body was protected by the Wind King Barrier. Her Wind Release's destructive power was even more overbearing than Lightning Release, and Wind Release itself countered Lightning Release.
Therefore, the paralysis and high temperature and other additional damages from the opponent's Lightning Release could not break her defense at all. Instead, her supremely powerful Wind Release nature transformation could repeatedly cut through the opponent's Lightning Release armor.
"Damn brat, don't underestimate me, A!"
A was somewhat startled. He hadn't tested the opponent's limits in either strength or speed, while he himself was almost reaching his limit.
Moreover, the opponent's Wind Release Chakra nature transformation was a cut above his, meaning he was being completely overwhelmed in every aspect.
