The Fourth Raikage and his two bodyguards burst into the battlefield.
The moment he heard the Iron Country samurai's report about Uchiha Sasuke's invasion, his anger exploded, and he rushed there.
His younger brother had been kidnapped by Sasuke and was presumed dead.
With such blood vengeance, the stern-natured Raikage couldn't restrain himself.
He dreamed of crushing Sasuke.
At this moment, Raikage A landed and threw off his cloak, revealing his powerful muscles, then activated Lightning Chakra Mode, his body enveloped in a fierce current of lightning chakra.
"Where is Uchiha Sasuke?!?!"
His roar shook the room; even from dozens of meters away, the pressure of his chakra felt like a bijuu's.
Seeing the Raikage like this, the Konoha side all felt uneasy.
They hadn't expected the Raikage to arrive so quickly that they hadn't had time to take Sasuke away.
Currently, Sasuke had a blood feud with Kumogakure. Once the Raikage found him, he definitely wouldn't let him go.
This was a big problem!
As expected, Raikage A immediately saw Sasuke being pinned down by Naruto, his anger instantly erupting, remembering his brother Killer B.
"Boss, it seems the Konoha ninja have already subdued Uchiha Sasuke."
The Raikage's bodyguard, C, quickly analyzed the situation and reported.
"C, it looks like we don't need to intervene!" Darui said casually, thinking Konoha had already taken care of everything.
Raikage A was still furious, but seeing Sasuke captured, he maintained his composure.
He immediately glared at Danzo and demanded:
"You're the new Hokage, right? Hand over Uchiha Sasuke to me!"
Danzo frowned, stepped forward, and replied:
"Fourth Raikage? Forgive me, but we cannot hand over Uchiha Sasuke!"
"What?!"
"He is a Konoha fugitive, and we have captured him alive. Therefore, it is Konoha's business to judge him, not Kumogakure's!"
Danzo refused firmly.
Although evil, in foreign affairs, especially those concerning the village's interests, he was very stubborn.
Just like when he ordered Fuu to kill Ao of Kirigakure without hesitation, even at the risk of triggering conflict.
"What did you say? This Uchiha Sasuke bastard kidnapped my brother! This isn't just about a Konoha fugitive; I need to know where Killer B is! Hand him over now!"
"Raikage, I know you are impatient. But rest assured, I will interrogate him immediately for information about your brother."
Danzo clearly wouldn't agree.
That was the last descendant of the Uchiha, with a pair of invaluable Mangekyou Sharingan!
He already had him in his grasp; would he just let him go?
Impossible!
"I can't wait even a second! Hand over Sasuke now; this is your last warning!"
"Raikage, your request is excessive; Konoha will not—"
Danzo still wanted to stall for time, waiting for the other Kage to arrive.
The other villages also wouldn't allow Kumogakure to obtain the Sharingan Kekkei Genkai. Later, everything could be resolved through political negotiation.
That was Danzo's specialty.
But he underestimated the Raikage's anger and the depth of his affection for his brother.
"Damn it! If you won't give him to me, I'll take him myself!"
The Raikage went berserk, attacking directly without any further words. He vanished from his spot, charging towards Sasuke!
"Stop him, Fuu!"
Danzo didn't intervene; there was no way he would fight the Raikage directly for Sasuke, so he just ordered someone else.
But how fast was the Raikage?
Shunshin no Jutsu + Lightning Chakra Mode made him one of the fastest men in the world!
This type of ninja couldn't be stopped by ordinary ninja.
Fuu had just heard Danzo's order; the Raikage had already left him and Yamato far behind, reaching Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto in Sage Mode had incredible senses. Although he couldn't match the Raikage's speed, he could still sense danger.
He immediately picked up Sasuke and rolled away to dodge, narrowly avoiding the Raikage's punch.
*BAM!*
The Raikage's furious punch shattered the wall, letting in the snowy wind.
"Konoha brat, hand him over to me! I'm only saying this once; I won't hold back on the next punch!"
The Raikage looked at Naruto, feeling somewhat familiar, but didn't have time to recall his identity. Right now, he only wanted to capture Sasuke!
"No, I won't hand Sasuke over to anyone! Raikage, please listen to me! There's a misunderstanding here; Sasuke is actually—"
Before Naruto finished, the Raikage attacked, punching him in the stomach.
The unprepared Naruto was instantly thrown back.
But the Raikage was still holding back his strength; otherwise, Naruto's stomach would have been pierced!
"Hmph! You noisy brat, that's a lesson for you!"
The Raikage snorted, picking Sasuke up from the ground, intending to take him for C to interrogate.
But the thrown Naruto had already gotten up.
"Give Sasuke back to me!"
"Senpou: Chōōdama Rasengan!"
Naruto immediately charged with a giant Rasengan. No matter who his opponent was, he wouldn't let anyone take Sasuke!
He was the one who defeated Sasuke; if he let others take him away, it would mean he was sacrificing Sasuke!
Naruto wouldn't let that happen!
At the same time, the injured Sasuke gathered his remaining strength, activated his Susano'o again, and unleashed a bone claw to attack the Raikage from the left.
This two-pronged attack cut off the Raikage's retreat.
The Susano'o's claw wasn't too dangerous, but the Raikage sensed a threat from the Chōōdama Rasengan.
But as the Raikage, how could he retreat?
He instantly activated his strongest Lightning Armor; all his hair stood on end, his Raiton power reaching its peak!
*BOOM!*
The Raikage, who was blocking the Chōōdama Rasengan, was instantly thrown back, even shattering the Susano'o's claw.
The power of the Senpou: Chōōdama Rasengan was terrifying. Only a few ninja below the Kage level could withstand it.
Even the Raikage had difficulty receiving this attack.
He was thrown dozens of meters, slamming into the thick wall on the left.
After the attack, Naruto immediately helped Sasuke to his feet.
Although he had managed to drive away the Raikage, Naruto was confused about what to do next. The Raikage clearly wouldn't give up, and attacking a Kage from another village was a major crime.
It could trigger a war between nations!
Not knowing what to do, Naruto reflexively looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi was also overwhelmed by the series of sudden events, but he quickly formulated a strategy and gave Naruto an eye signal.
Naruto understood. He immediately picked up Sasuke, jumped through the hole the Raikage had made, and fled the fortress.
