============== 

Seeing that his attack had worked, Yuta would definitely not give up this opportunity.

"Electromagnetic Jet!" A flash of lightning flashed under Yuta's feet, and his entire body rushed straight towards the Raikage in the air like an arrow.

"Bang!"

"Puff!" The Raikage was unable to dodge in the air and was struck hard in the abdomen by Yuta's punch. He spat out a mouthful of blood and slid more than ten meters in the air.

"Bang!" A deep pit was created in the ground by the Raikage's massive impact.

Yuta landed on the ground and looked at the Raikage at the bottom of the pit vigilantly. The Raikage was lying on his back with his limbs flailing in the air.

"Huff! Huff!" He took a few deep breaths of cold air to alleviate the pain in his body.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed.

"Haha! It's so satisfying. I haven't felt hurt for a long time! Kid, you are good. I recognize you, so… you will fall here!"

"Zizi!" The Raikage flared all his chakra, and violent lightning covered his entire body. He supported himself with his hands and slowly stood up. Then he slightly tilted his body, extended his right hand, and clenched his fist.

"Next, let me show you the strongest spear! You should feel honored to fall under this move."

Suddenly, the index finger of the Raikage's straightened fist extended, and violent lightning quickly gathered at the tip of the index finger, emitting a terrifying electric light.

"Lightning Release: Hell Thrust: One Finger!"

A flash of lightning seemed to distort space and instantly arrived before Yuta.

"Electromagnetic Release: Iron Wall!"

Yuta was constantly alert to a counterattack when the Raikage stood up. Upon seeing the Raikage's initial move, he quickly took defensive measures.

The iron sand in the air instantly coalesced into an iron wall in front of Yuta before the Raikage's attack landed.

"Boom!" Observing the finger that pierced the iron wall, cold sweat beaded on Yuta's forehead.

Although he had paid considerable attention to the Raikage, he now realized that he had underestimated him.

"Boom!" The Raikage exerted force again, and the iron wall reverted to iron sand and scattered.

Despite believing that the Raikage's attack, no matter how powerful, could not breach the iron wall's defense, Yuta, witnessing the surrounding iron sand, forced himself to sidestep half a step to the left. With his exceptional reaction time, he narrowly avoided the Raikage's strike.

While the Raikage's linear acceleration was remarkably fast, he lacked agility. After his attack missed, he couldn't halt immediately, leaving his back exposed to Yuta.

Yuta would not squander this opportunity. He drew his tantō.

"Electromagnetic Vibration!"

"Buzz!" The tantō hummed, and the blade vibrated rapidly until it blurred from sight.

Due to the extremely high vibration frequency, the emitted sound became ultrasonic. At first glance, it appeared as if Yuta was only holding the tantō's hilt.

"Electromagnetic Ejection!"

Yuta aimed to exploit the Raikage's vulnerability and deliver a powerful blow, so he launched Electromagnetic Ejection once more.

Yuta appeared behind the Raikage in the blink of an eye, and the tantō in his hand slashed fiercely at his back.

The Raikage was aware that Yuta had launched an attack from behind, but the immense inertia prevented him from taking effective defensive measures.

While this limitation had no consequence against ordinary opponents, it became a fatal flaw when facing a speed-type adversary like Yuta.

He only felt the Lightning Release Armor on his back tear apart instantly, followed by a searing pain that spread throughout his body. The Third Raikage froze momentarily before being propelled forward. His back had become a bloody mess, with a large section of flesh missing.

"It hurts!"

After flying a few meters, the Third Raikage regained his balance, spun around abruptly, and felt the agony in his back. Even with his formidable willpower, he couldn't suppress a cry of pain. 

Yuta's previous attack had been difficult to withstand. Fortunately, the forward momentum had softened the impact; otherwise, he might have been split in two.

"Even electromagnetic oscillation doesn't work? You are worthy of being the Third Raikage! Your defense is truly abnormal!"

Yuta observed the Raikage, who hadn't lost significant combat ability, and couldn't help but admire his resilience. If this technique was ineffective,

"In that case, then try this!"

Yuta spoke slowly, then sheathed his tantō, extended his arms forward, and cupped his hands. A frightening arc of electricity crackled in his palms, and the surrounding iron sand coalesced into marble-sized iron balls, which pulsed with the electric light

in Yuta's hands. The violent chakra within Yuta's body surged and poured into his palms.

At this moment, the arc of electricity in Yuta's palms intensified. With Yuta's exceptional chakra control, the iron balls ceased their erratic movements, suspended in his palms and rotating, with electric lights dancing on them like blue sprites.

"Electromagnetic Cannon!"

"Not good…!" The Third Raikage's expression shifted, and his instincts screamed a frantic warning.

"I can't stop it! I will fall if I take it head-on!"

He could sense that the energy contained within these iron balls crackling with electricity had reached a terrifying level, and even he instinctively felt the imminent danger.

The Third Raikage didn't hesitate. He bent another finger, surged towards Yuta, and thrust both hands towards Yuta's chest, attempting to interrupt his attack.

"Zizi!" A blue light flashed, and the iron ball with immense kinetic energy hurtled towards the Raikage at lightning speed.

"Bang!" The iron ball and the Raikage's attacks collided, and the immense energy was released instantly, leaving the world bathed in a blinding white light.

This was the most potent single attack Yuta could currently unleash. Anticipating a significant impact, he had only confirmed its feasibility previously, refraining from a full-scale test.

When the white light subsided, the Raikage's figure became visible before Yuta.

At this point, the Raikage was crouched on the ground, his body covered in blood, and his entire right arm hung limply at his side. His left hand supported his weakened right arm as he looked up at Yuta not far away.

"What? Do you wish to continue?"

Yuta was also panting heavily. Although the prolonged transformation by the beads had significantly increased his chakra reserves compared to ordinary shinobi, Electromagnetic Release, being a bloodline limit, still consumed a considerable amount of chakra upon use. 

Hadn't the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki been seen panting and exhausted after each release of his Dust Release, with a significant delay before he could use it again?

The murderous gaze the Raikage fixed on Yuta did not diminish; it intensified.

He glanced down at his shattered right hand, gritted his teeth, and exerted force with his left hand.

"Swish!" The Raikage tore off his entire right arm. Beads of sweat streamed down his face as he endured the severe pain, using Lightning Release to cauterize the wound on his right shoulder.

Witnessing the Raikage's series of actions, Yuta couldn't help but inwardly exclaim, "He is a ruthless individual!"

But he had no time to dwell on the Raikage's resilience. He gathered the remaining meager chakra within him, preparing to confront the Raikage, who was clearly at his limit.

Suddenly, a middle-aged Kumogakure shinobi appeared before the Raikage, shielding him. The Kumogakure shinobi looked at Yuta, grinned, and abruptly slammed his hand towards his belly.

A massive amount of chakra with a malevolent aura rapidly surged from him…
