When the Third Raikage activated his Thunder Escape Armor, his whole body was filled with thunderous light. During his rampage, he made no attempt to cover his tracks, so it was not difficult for Lei Luo to catch up with him.
But Lei Luo only maintained a certain speed and stayed dozens of meters behind the Third Raikage. He didn't get too close, and he didn't actively seek a fight.
This is because with his current methods, there is no good way to deal with the opponent. If he rushes forward rashly, he will only be forced back by the opponent again.
What's more, if he continues to fight frequently regardless, Lei Luo feels that there is a high probability that he will be discovered by the Third Raikage, and will be discovered by the other party, and he will not be able to effectively restrict him.
Then, the opponent will most likely choose to completely ignore him and attack Namikaze Minato with all his strength. It's okay not to mention that outcome.
Secondly... it was because he suddenly thought of a move that might be able to cause a lot of damage to the Third Raikage, but the timing of its use was extremely demanding.
These two reasons may seem contradictory, but if well designed, they may not be unable to directly secure victory.
'Judging from the direction of movement, the Raikage's purpose is to recapture the Jinchuuriki candidate. This should be correct.'
With continuous steps, Lei Luo quickly shuttled high in the dense forest.
While he carefully observed the Third Raikage who was driving forward in his Thunder Armor not far ahead, he thought:
'When it gets close to a certain range, the Raikage will probably attack Namikaze Minato without saying a word, and quickly catch Kushina.'
'Based on the fighting style this guy has shown before, this is almost foreseeable.'
'But it's also a great opportunity for me.'
Thinking of this, Lei Luo silently took out two trident kunai from his ninja bag and held them in his hands, while using his perception ability to search for the location of Namikaze Minato.
"Found it." His eyes flickered slightly, and Lei Luo quickly adjusted his direction, no longer following the Third Raikage, but running to the right.
At the same time, Lei Luo used time fluctuations to send a message carrying an action plan and quickly sent it to Namikaze Minato's location.
Its content is to let Minato Namikaze change direction and move towards his own position.
After finishing all this, Lei Luo formed a seal with his hands, slowly sank into the ground and lurked, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come.
Through previous battles, Lei Luo has initially calculated the speed of the third generation Raikage:
When the Thunder Release Chakra mode is turned on, the speed of the Third Raikage is probably close to the speed of sound. When using Hell Thrust, the opponent seems to be able to increase the speed again, temporarily exceeding the speed of sound in a short period of time.
All these ability data are remembered by Lei Luo. In subsequent actions, he will use all the collected information to try to give the Third Raikage a hard blow.
'The Third Raikage... your body is indeed very hard, and you deserve to be called the strongest shield, but...'
In the dark underground space, Lei Luo gently raised the trident kunai in his hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes:
'I want to see if no matter how hard you are, can you still be harder than space?'
On the other side, Namikaze Minato received the message from Lei Luo, and without any hesitation, he quickly moved to the rear right and rushed towards where Lei Luo was.
While moving forward, Namikaze Minato silently glanced at the sleeping face in his arms, his heart couldn't help but be full of motivation, and his tenacious will was also condensed in his mind: He must protect Kushina, of course!
For Namikaze Minato, everything that happened tonight was far more thrilling and bizarre than the sum total of his more than ten years of life.
Whether it was the ferocious and violent Third Raikage, the mysterious Rairo-senpai, or Kushina who rarely showed her soft side, these people and things all opened the eyes of Namikaze Minato as a civilian ninja.
As things have developed now, the situation has gradually become clearer.
Although Namikaze Minato didn't know the outcome of the battle between Lei Luo and the Third Raikage, he believed that the Zeekage who could suppress the demigod of Amegakure Village in a head-on battle would never be weaker than the Kage of any ninja village.
Now, since Senior Lei Luo has time to pass on information to him, informing him of his next action plan.
That means that Lei Luo was not at a disadvantage in the battle with the Third Raikage. He should just be unable to decide the winner for the moment.
In this case, Namikaze Minato felt that he had to obey Lei Luo's order and help the latter defeat the Third Raikage.
His thoughts had passed, and Namikaze Minato was about to continue moving forward, but at this moment, there were waves of roaring sounds coming from behind, as if something extremely heavy was approaching at high speed.
Realizing what that sound represented, Namikaze Minato's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace again, trying his best to rush towards Lei Luo's position.
Behind Namikaze Minato, about a few hundred meters away, the Third Raikage followed the traces left by the former.
When he noticed the faint sound of breaking through the air in front of him, the Third Raikage listened attentively and at the same time looked into the distance, and soon spotted the figure of Namikaze Minato gradually retreating.
After frowning and thinking for a while, the Third Raikage glanced back unconsciously, but did not see Lei Luo following closely, which made him feel wary.
'Why didn't that Jueying guy follow?'
This question lingered in the mind of the Third Raikage. He didn't know that the other party had clearly been entangled before, but now he gave up inexplicably.
All he knew was that he was getting closer and closer to his target, but Jueying didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him.
As for Lei Luo, although the Third Raikage stated on the surface that he did not want to waste time with him, it seemed that he looked down on Lei Luo.
But in fact, the Third Raikage was deeply afraid of Lei Luo. If it hadn't been for several previous fights, he noticed that Lei Luo's attack power seemed to be weak:
This is evidenced by the fact that he was hit by the opponent's illusions several times but did not suffer any real damage.
Otherwise, he would not just ignore Lei Luo, expose his back to him, and forcefully pursue Namikaze Minato.
All kinds of thoughts flew through the mind of the Third Raikage. He didn't understand why Lei Luo suddenly stopped chasing him. Did he give up because he knew he couldn't defeat him, or was he preparing some conspiracy?
After a few seconds, the Third Raikage snorted coldly and decided not to think too much. He kicked his feet hard and at the same time used his four fingers together to use Hell Thrust and rushed towards Namikaze Minato at full speed.
No matter what, catching Uzumaki Kushina is the first priority, and it is worth taking some risks for this.
If Juekage has the ability to cause harm to him, then let's do it. The Third Raikage will not be afraid of him. After all, he is a ninja with the title of "The Strongest Shield". I don't think the other party can make any splash.
.
After strengthening his confidence, the Third Raikage used the short-term acceleration provided by the hell thrust state to cover hundreds of meters in an instant. In just a blink of an eye, he arrived not far behind Namikaze Minato.
The latter, at this time, was still running at full speed, seemingly unaware that danger had arrived.
The Third Raikage narrowed his eyes and stretched out his arm. The four fingers wrapped with electric sparks seemed to turn into the sharpest blades in an instant, thrusting straight into Namikaze Minato's back heart at a terrifying speed that ripped the air.
But at this moment, one kilometer in front of the two of them, there was a steep bulge in the ground. Lei Luo's figure emerged from the ground, and the time delay was activated at the same time.
