Chapter 094: Three Powers Stand Shoulder to Shoulder

The Silver Superman nodded, raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and pulled it back. “If you can take this punch of mine, I’ll take my men and leave the Land of Lightning, never to set foot in this country again.”

Upon hearing this, the Raikage flew into a rage, fury surging through his entire body. In an instant, his Lightning Release chakra boiled over, and he pushed his ninja body art to its absolute limit.

“Don’t underestimate me, Mizukage!!!”

“Good. Take my serious punch!”

The Silver Superman threw a punch. A force like mountains toppling and seas splitting burst forth from his fist—a fist that could pierce mountains, split the ocean, tear through clouds, and shatter the atmosphere.

This was a fist that shook heaven and earth, that trembled the universe.

This was a fist that, no matter how powerful the enemy, would shatter them completely with a single blow.

This was a fist that had removed its limiter.

If Wang Bo had been there, he would have recognized it as Saitama’s punch, only imitated by the Silver Superman, yet its power was in no way inferior to the original.

Facing such a fist, the Raikage’s pride, courage, confidence, and anger were all effortlessly crushed, turned to ashes. He couldn’t even dodge; he could only watch as the fist drew inexorably closer.

A huge character for “death” flashed in his mind.

For a moment, a single thought surfaced in the Raikage’s heart: Ah, I’m going to die.

But the Silver Superman didn’t kill the Raikage with that punch. The fist stopped just a few centimeters from the Raikage’s forehead.

Then, the Silver Superman flicked his finger.

Bang!

The Raikage was struck on the forehead, sent flying, and landed with a thud, unconscious.

Thus, the battle between Kirigakure and Kumogakure ended with the Raikage’s defeat.

Not long before, the Silver Superman had taken over Kumogakure Village.

…

The shinobi world was neither too small nor too large. News that the Mizukage of Kirigakure had defeated the Raikage of Kumogakure quickly spread far and wide, across every corner of the ninja world.

Wang Bo naturally heard the news too. As expected of the Silver Superman, he moved fast, taking over Kumogakure so easily. Although Kumogakure had the AB Combo, unfortunately, even together they were no match for the Silver Superman.

They weren’t on the same level.

Just as Wang Bo was pleased, the ninja of Sunagakure and Iwagakure were dumbfounded.

What happened to the joint operation of the four great ninja villages to attack the Land of Fire together? How come Kirigakure and Kumogakure started fighting each other first, and Kirigakure actually won? This was too unbelievable.

Ever since the Fourth Mizukage Yagura implemented the Blood Mist Plan, Kirigakure had been called the Blood Mist Village. Although the other great villages didn’t know the details, they knew that Kirigakure’s strength was definitely the weakest among the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Because the Blood Mist Plan was too disastrous.

Anyone with a brain knew that the Blood Mist Plan wouldn’t improve the village’s strength but would instead reduce it. Although no one knew what had gotten into Yagura’s head, they knew Kirigakure’s strength would decline. How much it had declined was a mystery.

But among the Five Great Ninja Villages, Kirigakure being at the bottom was probably a sure thing.

Now, however, Kirigakure had defeated Kumogakure, and especially that the newly appointed Mizukage had taken out the Raikage with a single punch—this news was too shocking.

If they hadn’t confirmed the news repeatedly and verified it was true, the Kazekage and Tsuchikage would have thought they were reading some kind of novel.

Even novels wouldn’t dare write something like that.

The Mizukage took out the Raikage with one punch?

That was too exaggerated. Any ninja who reached the Kage level was no weakling; each had their own abilities and trump cards.

A one-shot kill was impossible.

In fact, even for a Kage-level powerhouse to one-shot an elite jonin wasn’t that easy.

If it were a sneak attack, it could be done. But in a frontal fight, a Kage-level powerhouse would need a few moves to defeat an elite jonin.

As for a Kage-level powerhouse one-shotting another Kage-level powerhouse, that was pure fantasy.

But now, this fantasy had become reality. The Kazekage and Tsuchikage were at a loss for words.

This was too absurd.

Yet no matter how many times they inquired, the news remained the same.

Now both of them couldn’t sit still. The Mizukage’s strength was beyond imagination—able to one-shot the Raikage. This was enough to prove one thing: the Mizukage had reached the level of Hashirama Senju.

The God of Shinobi.

And what was worse, the current ruler of the Land of Fire had, during his attack on Konoha, defeated most of Konoha’s strong ninja, even the Edo Tensei First Hokage.

This was another God of Shinobi.

Now, two freaks had suddenly appeared in the ninja world. One was vigorously developing the Land of Fire, and the other had already conquered the Land of Lightning. Both had shown their sharp fangs.

Next, the ninja world would inevitably see a bloody storm.

When two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt.

But the question was, would they eliminate Sunagakure and Iwagakure first before their conflict?

And this possibility was high.

No one wanted to defeat an enemy only to have someone else reap the benefits. So before their battle, they would surely eliminate the obstacles first.

Then settle the final胜负.

Thus, the Kazekage and Tsuchikage concluded that these two would next attack the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, divide the two countries, and then fight it out.

If they acted alone, they would inevitably be picked off one by one by the Land of Fire and the Mizukage. So the two decided to form an alliance. To counter these two behemoths, they also actively contacted other small ninja villages.

If you don’t want to be annexed, join our alliance.

Otherwise, annexation awaits you.

After considering the matter, the leaders of some small ninja villages decided to join the Wind-Earth Alliance. Though they were small villages, they had wisdom and understood that when the nest overturns, no egg remains unbroken.

So joining the Wind-Earth Alliance was the best choice.

Of course, some people tried to join the Land of Fire or the Land of Water. In their view, these two sides had a higher chance of winning, so joining the victor would bring benefits in the future.

Finally, there were still some foolish people who joined nothing, trying to remain neutral.

For such people, the Tsuchikage had only one thought: stupid to the core.

Did they really think they could stay independent in this situation? Once war broke out, the first to suffer would be these neutralists.

Thus, the ninja world underwent a massive reshuffle, from the five-way struggle of Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, and Lightning to a three-way standoff among the Land of Fire, the Land of Water, and the Wind-Earth Alliance.
