Finger Collision!
*Bang!* The Third Raikage's fist was repelled as if struck by an impact.
His entire right leg couldn't help but retreat half a step.
This single move instantly changed the expressions of everyone present, making them take him seriously.
Although the Third Raikage didn't seem to use his full power—it was just a simple heavy punch.
Shunsui Kyoraku was clearly just as calm and composed.
Furthermore, the Third Raikage's physical constitution and strength are publicly recognized in the Ninja World as the strongest of the current generation!
Even a simple, straightforward punch from him is not something anyone can easily block!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru had personally witnessed several Captains of the Uzushigakure making their moves.
Thus, they were only slightly surprised before returning to normal.
After all, the Captains of the Uzushigakure are simply that unreasonable.
But the Third Raikage, the Third Kazekage, and Ōnoki were different.
Whether it was the Uzushigakure or its Captain, they had only ever existed in their intelligence reports.
This was the first time they had seen them with their own eyes.
And this initial exchange made them realize just how extraordinary this Captain and the Uzushigakure behind him were!
Indeed... no wonder the Uzushigakure dared to send only one Captain to such an important occasion.
Their arrogance was backed by capital!
Moreover, it was rumored that the Uzushigakure had thirteen such Captain-level figures!
If this intelligence was true, then perhaps... the balance of power in the Ninja World was bound to change sooner or later.
Of course, a mere skirmish in taijutsu couldn't reveal everything.
But it did make them slightly acknowledge Shunsui Kyōraku.
However, the Third Raikage didn't think so; he only felt that he had lost Face.
How could the esteemed Raikage of Kumogakure fail to defeat a mere Captain from the Uzushigakure?
How could he then compare himself to the Lord Soul King of the Uzushigakure?!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation.
He secretly hoped that the Land of Lightning and the Uzushigakure would go to war.
This would not only divert the attention of the Uzushigakure but also allow him to develop during the interim.
Third Raikage, he has humiliated you so much, please don't hold back!
But clearly, the Third Raikage was no hothead. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:
"Why isn't your country's Lord Soul King attending the Five Kage Summit?! Is he looking down on our other four countries?!"
With one sentence, he dragged the other three countries into the fray and used the momentum to pressure Shunsui Kyōraku.
Damn, those who can become Kage are indeed not simple people!
The others cursed inwardly, but at the same time, they wanted to hear Shunsui Kyōraku's reply.
Shunsui Kyōraku chuckled lightly and said, "With all due respect, you all are merely Captain-level in my Uzushigakure. How could you be worthy of sharing a frame with our Lord Soul King?"
"Arrogant!!"
"Insolent!!"
