## Chapter 822: The Hidden Sand Arrives!
Western Zone of Lou Lan City.
"Just who exactly are you people!"
The Third Raikage was rapidly pursuing Tengen Uzui, who was constantly dodging flexibly. At the same time, he used his Hand Blade, wrapped in Lightning Flame, to continuously pierce and detonate the incoming Soundwave Cannon.
Two incomparably fast figures were in Mid-air, sometimes one chasing the other, sometimes colliding and crossing paths, then resuming their pursuit.
The Third Raikage naturally knew the principle of not being led by the nose.
But every time he wanted to find trouble with the other Sea Ninja, the opponent would harass him with various Blade Lights and Sound Wave, and even claimed they would go outside the Fortress to spar with the other Cloud Hidden Ninja.
This forced the Third Raikage to remain entangled with Tengen Uzui.
Because he had already witnessed the latter's Strength. Before, he was at most a relatively powerful Elite Jonin, but with this strange Sound Release Ability appearing, his Jonin would have no way to deal with it.
The opponent also had a peculiar Secret Technique that could turn their entire body black, easily defending against his Lightning Release.
Coupled with the two Exploding Blades in his hands that could create Great Explosions.
If a Powerhouse of this Rank rushed into his Team, even if they could eventually kill him, the losses would definitely be heavy, just like how he could cause a Bloody Storm if he charged into the enemy's Team.
Although the Third Raikage appeared rough and irritable, he cared deeply for the Ninja in his Village.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to make the move of staying behind alone to cover the retreat.
"Didn't I already say it? We are Root Ninja under Lord Danzō! If the Third Raikage doesn't believe it, go ask Konohagakure!"
Tengen Uzui laughed as he fought and ran.
"You're Talking Nonsense!"
The Third Raikage was furious. Seeing that the opponent dared to mention 'Root', he became enraged: "Where would Konoha get Exploding Blades? Where would they get Sound Release? And you haven't had any Chakra from head to toe!"
"Hmm."
Tengen Uzui first used Observation Haki and Shave to dodge the lightning-fast attack, then pulled back the Distance and said: "Our Lord Danzō is brilliant and has replicated Kirigakure's Exploding Blades."
"As for this Sound Release, it's my Bloodline Limit. And the reason I don't have Chakra is because I have no Ninjutsu Talent, so I specialize in Swordsmanship and Martial Arts. Do you have any more questions?"
The Third Raikage stopped, looking at Tengen Uzui with Doubt and uncertainty.
Because what he said seemed to make some sense.
Although he had never encountered someone who specialized purely in Swordsmanship and Martial Arts, even the Samurai of the Land of Iron had to cultivate Chakra, the opponent's various performances were quite consistent with this.
Crucially, he knew deeply that pure Martial Arts Training could indeed Resist Ninjutsu.
Because he himself relied on a Physique trained to the extreme. Not only could he wrestle with Tailed Beasts in terms of Strength, but his skin and Muscle were also Tough enough to rival Steel.
Ordinary Blades or Ninjutsu striking his body simply couldn't cause any damage.
But in the entire Ninja World, he had truly never heard of a second person who could reach his level of Martial Arts, because the Suffering during the Training process exceeded the Upper Limit of most people's endurance.
Regardless of what he thought in his heart, the Third Raikage said with a cold face: "But This Old Man's Intuition tells me that you, Kid, are Lying!"
"Then tell me, who are we?" Tengen Uzui retorted.
"..."
The Third Raikage was left speechless by the retort. That's right, if they weren't from Konoha, what Influence could they belong to?
Kirigakure?
Impossible. Their Ninja Quantity has always been the lowest. How could they deploy so many people to the Land of Wind?
If they only wanted to take away the Queen of Rōran, Dispatching a Squad led by a Jonin would suffice.
Just then.
The Third Raikage was attracted by the large number of Gunshots that appeared again. His Gaze swept over and he saw a Large Force of Man in Black swarming in, which made his Expression solemn.
"They still have so many people hidden. What exactly is your Purpose?"
At the same time, he cursed the people of Sunagakure in his heart, calling them a bunch of utterly useless individuals. They didn't even know that nearly a thousand Ninja Unit members had infiltrated their country!
As for Rōran.
He didn't put them in his eyes at all.
"Third Raikage, do you still want to fight? The Situation is very clear now. I admit I can't beat you, but you can't catch me either. How about we just call it quits?"
Tengen Uzui proposed again.
The Sensory Ability and Prediction Ability of Observation Haki, when the Speed difference between the two sides wasn't too great, could completely dodge most of the opponent's Attacks.
If his Observation Haki one day reached the level of Future Sight, then he would be confident that this Third Raikage wouldn't even be able to touch him.
After all, the opponent's Combat Style was actually quite rough, basically the straightforward type.
He also exchanged for a Paramecia System Sound-Wave Fruit based on the Merit he accumulated in the Zero Magic World. This Ability allowed him to Gigantify the various sounds he created.
For example, making the Air Blast Sound generated by Moonwalk under his feet louder, giving his Flight Speed an explosive increase.
This was also the reason he could compete with the Third Raikage in Speed.
Furthermore, the various Explosion Sounds of the Sound Breathing he used were also greatly amplified, and this was the capital that allowed him to block the Third Raikage's Four-Fingered Thrust.
However, the Technique with the greatest Power was naturally the Soundwave Cannon transformed from his roaring voice.
After taking one hit from this move, even the Third Raikage no longer dared to take it head-on, because the intense Tremor and sound could, to a certain extent, penetrate the 'Lightning Release Armor' on his body.
Of course, according to his own words, he just found it too noisy for his ears...
Tengen Uzui was now very fortunate to have acquired the Sound-Wave Fruit Ability in time. Otherwise, with only the Strength he had in the Zero Magic World, he would not have been able to last this long in front of the opponent.
At the same time, he regretted that he had eaten it for too short a Time and hadn't had more Development and Training.
"Hmph, This Old Man has three thousand Ninja outside, which is enough to kill all of your subordinates!"
The Third Raikage said with a look of disdain. He believed that those Man in Black were all the Ninja the opponent could field, and continuing to fight would only result in the opponent being annihilated.
However, there was one point that still left him very doubtful.
Whether it was the previous Man in Black Ninja or the Man in Black who appeared later, they all seemed to fight only with Illusionary Sword Technique and Martial Arts.
That's right.
In the Third Raikage's view, the Breathing Style Swordsmanship that could generate various Elemental Phantom Images was actually an Illusionary Sword Technique combined with some kind of Illusion Technique.
It was similar to Nintaijutsu and Ninkenjutsu, one could say they were more or less the same...
"But don't forget, this is the Land of Wind. You just fought a battle with them. Third Raikage, when do you think the Hidden Sand Ninja will arrive?"
Tengen Uzui said unhurriedly with a smile.
Indeed.
The Third Raikage frowned. He naturally understood this point, which was why he had previously required his subordinates to finish the battle quickly, but who would have thought it would be delayed until now.
But what he didn't know was that for Tengen Uzui's side, Sunagakure was also a threat.
And it could be said to be a greater threat than the Cloud Hidden currently before him, because this was Sunagakure's Homeland. The Ninja they could Mobilize would definitely be more numerous, and they were better at Combat in this Desert Environment.
But this did not prevent Tengen Uzui from using Sunagakure to deter the Third Raikage.
In Fact.
Behind a Sand Dune about one kilometer away from Rōran, figures of Hidden Sand Ninja had already appeared. They were observing the Situation here with Telescopes.
At the same time.
A Large Force composed of three thousand Sand Ninja was also rushing over mightily.
However, the Mission they received was not to protect Rōran, much less to keep the Cloud Hidden in the Desert, but to force the Third Raikage away as quickly as possible.
Their Commander was Rasa.
Although not yet the Fukurokuju, he was a man whose Prestige was comparable to the Fukurokuju, and the only man in Sunagakure currently capable of Resisting the Third Raikage!
