Chapter 187: The Secret Technique Acquired
"Ah~"
The Raikage let out a deafening roar, incited by Orochimaru's provocation. The blue lightning surrounding his body condensed further, darkening until it appeared black in Kawakaze's eyes.
"Lightning Release: Black Panther!"
The black lightning around the Raikage surged, taking the shape of a leaping leopard. It pounced directly toward Kawakaze with incredible speed, closing the distance in an instant.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure, Kawakaze's heart sank. He recognized this technique—it was a Ninjutsu developed by the Third Raikage. Being struck by the black lightning would result in excruciating pain and leave him paralyzed, rendering him defenseless.
Without hesitation, Kawakaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, dodging instantly. Only a fool would face such a technique head-on.
The black leopard struck empty air, exploding violently at Kawakaze's previous position. Black lightning crackled and spread outward from the impact crater, creating an intimidating display of destructive power.
The Raikage had anticipated this outcome. He never expected the technique to defeat Kawakaze outright. His true focus was on rescuing his subordinates from Orochimaru's slaughter.
Turning away from Kawakaze, the Raikage redirected the black lightning, tearing through the air toward Orochimaru.
"Be careful," Kawakaze warned, recognizing the danger.
Understanding the severity of the attack, Kawakaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again, appearing beside Orochimaru. The two vanished in an instant, disappearing from the Raikage's sight.
