The Rain Village battlefield had already become a land of ruins.
Not only were there traces of raging flames and meteor impacts everywhere, but countless scars left behind by sword qi and blade strikes crisscrossed the ground as well!
After coldly beheading yet another Kumogakure ninja, Ning Feng suddenly sensed an astonishing chakra signature rapidly approaching the battlefield.
Behind that chakra source were countless additional chakra reactions.
Though none were as overwhelming as the leading one, every single one would still qualify as a dominant powerhouse anywhere else.
"Another old friend, huh?"
Ning Feng licked the blood splashed near the corner of his lips and muttered softly.
He was extremely familiar with that chakra signature.
It belonged to the Fourth Raikage A, whom he had clashed with both openly and secretly countless times already!
As for the ninja behind him—
There was no need to guess.
They were definitely Kumogakure's true elite forces.
"Should I keep fighting?"
Ning Feng frowned slightly and withdrew his Rinnegan.
His objectives this time had already been accomplished.
He had intimidated the players and slaughtered the majority of Kumogakure's forces.
Glancing around, the corpses of Kumogakure ninja alone were piled high enough to resemble small mountains.
At the same time, the rewards he gained were astonishing.
The experience from killing so many ninja had directly pushed him to Level 75!
Based on his estimates, even the Fourth Raikage's stats were probably only around Level 70.
And while the difference was merely five levels—
At the Kage tier, even a single level difference represented a massive disparity in strength.
As for a five-level gap…
Ning Feng could probably fight three Fourth Raikages simultaneously using stats alone!
Not to mention—
His true strength didn't lie in raw numbers at all.
It was his countless Bloodline Limits, forbidden techniques, and secret arts.
"If I keep going… and wipe out all of Kumogakure by myself, then what's the point of training those guys?"
Ning Feng sighed softly.
He knew very well that even after the Fourth Great Ninja War ended, members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan would eventually descend upon the ninja world.
If he happened to be absent when that time came—
And no ninja alive could stand against the Ōtsutsuki—
Then everything he painstakingly built would be destroyed.
That was why he had always deliberately trained the Rain Village shinobi, hoping they could stand on their own even when he wasn't around.
That was the true meaning of this ninja war to Ning Feng.
But…
If he personally solved every single enemy himself—
Then what exactly would his forces even train for?
"Fine. I'll exchange a few moves, then leave using Flying Thunder God."
Ning Feng still felt somewhat itchy for battle.
The Rinnegan's abilities were simply too addictive.
After using them once, he found himself reluctant to stop.
Normally, he rarely sparred with the shinobi inside his own village.
He was already far too powerful.
One careless mistake could easily kill his own people.
Meanwhile, the Rain Village was still in its developmental phase and needed to keep a low profile.
As the leader of an entire village, every move Ning Feng made would attract suspicion from all sides.
So he couldn't casually challenge shinobi from other villages either.
Opportunities to truly stretch his muscles were exceedingly rare.
Now that he had just awakened the Rinnegan and finally encountered such a perfect chance to fight—
He honestly couldn't resist.
SHING!
SHING! SHING! SHING!
Just as Ning Feng decided to continue playing around for a bit, the grim-faced Raikage A arrived at the battlefield alongside a massive force of elite ninja!
"Uchiha… Feng!"
The Fourth Raikage's face filled with disbelief upon seeing the battlefield littered with Kumogakure corpses.
Without hesitation, he instantly activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and charged straight toward Ning Feng!
"Starting without even saying hello?"
Ning Feng laughed teasingly while casually leaning backward and effortlessly dodging the Raikage's attack.
"You deserve to die!"
A roared furiously, his hand-blades slicing toward Ning Feng's neck and body in a relentless assault!
Lightning flashed wildly, carrying violent winds with every movement!
"Slow! Far too slow!"
Ning Feng sneered disdainfully as he effortlessly evaded attack after attack while continuing to mock him.
"This is all you've got?"
"Damn it! Attack him already! Don't worry about me!"
A's face twisted with fury.
Only then did the elite guards and special forces behind him snap out of their shock and begin rapidly forming hand seals!
Since the Raikage himself ordered them not to hold back…
They had no choice but to unleash their ninjutsu!
BOOM!
Several incredibly fierce Lightning Release techniques shot toward Ning Feng in an instant!
The corners of Ning Feng's mouth lifted.
His pupils instantly transformed into the Rinnegan!
A barrier spread out before him and absorbed every single technique effortlessly.
"This…"
A's expression immediately turned horrified.
Ning Feng really could ignore ninjutsu?!
The Raikage Guard Unit were masters of ninjutsu.
Even A himself had to treat their Lightning Release techniques cautiously.
So why were they completely ineffective against Ning Feng?!
When he first heard reports claiming ninjutsu were useless against Uchiha Feng, A hadn't believed a word of it.
He had even angrily cursed his own shinobi for being frightened into talking nonsense.
How could a ninja immune to ninjutsu possibly exist?
Yet now…
He had personally witnessed exactly such a monster.
"What the hell?!"
A staggered backward in both shock and fury, his momentum faltering for just an instant.
And Ning Feng instantly seized that opening.
A brutal side kick smashed directly into A's chest!
BANG!
The Raikage's expression froze.
That kick practically shattered his thoughts entirely!
At the same time, his body uncontrollably flew backward!
The Kumogakure guards behind him nearly had their eyes pop out from shock!
The Raikage had still been inside Lightning Release Chakra Mode just now!
In that state, not only did his speed rise drastically, but his defense became monstrous as well!
Yet—
Kumogakure's strongest ninja had just been kicked flying by the Rain Shadow with one casual strike?!
"Looks like this generation's Raikage isn't very impressive…"
Just as the guards prepared to catch A, a carefree and arrogant voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
"Yeah, brother. Compared to the Second Raikage, this guy hasn't improved much at all."
Everyone instantly turned in fury—
Only to see two strange shinobi standing there.
One had long golden hair.
The other possessed long silver hair.
Both had three extremely noticeable whisker-like markings on each side of their faces and wore very old-fashioned Kumogakure uniforms.
The blond ninja carried an enormous fan with a rope wrapped around his arm.
Meanwhile, the silver-haired ninja held a square-shaped giant blade and a large gourd.
The pair looked utterly out of place amidst the battlefield.
"You… you are…!"
Suddenly, several older Kumogakure ninja widened their eyes in shock as they recognized the identities of these bizarre shinobi.
Their expressions instantly became grave, filled with intense vigilance as they slowly uttered several words:
"The Gold and Silver Brothers!"
