Konoha, Just Like Kizaru

Facing the dense Konoha army, Ai looked on with disdain. 

"This is so annoying. I should just break into Konoha territory and bring back that Nine Tails Jinchūriki!"

Every generation of Raikage is known for their fierce temper—a blend of raw strength and combat power, quick to act on impulse. 

Though Ai wasn't Raikage yet, he already carried the commanding presence of the Third Raikage.

After all, the Third Raikage was known for his fearless spirit, even daring to challenge tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninjas alone.

"Master Ai, please calm down," said the Jōnin girl beside him, quickly trying to dissuade him. 

"We still don't know the whereabouts of Leboe and the others. Rushing in could be dangerous."

She wasn't exaggerating. Although Konoha's army didn't number in the tens of thousands, it still had thousands of soldiers.

If Ai charged in now, even with his strength, it would be a costly move, risking the future of Kumogakure, as he was destined to be the next Raikage. 

"What a hassle," Ai muttered irritably. 

For him, it was simple: go in, take what he wanted. Win if he could, die trying if he couldn't. 

Run? Running was never an option!

Suddenly, a golden light flickered across the border.

The female Jōnin who had just stopped Ai sensed something was wrong. 

Sure enough, the moment Ai saw the flash, lightning surged across his body.

Lightning Style Chakra Mode—activated!

But this was different from Leboe's Lightning Style Chakra Mode.

The Lightning Style Chakra on Ai's body formed a dense, armor-like shield, known as the Lightning Style Armor

With this intense stimulation, his cells surged with vitality, pushing his energy to the max.

"Found you, Nine Tails Jinchūriki!"

The hill beneath him cracked and shattered as Ai shot toward Konoha's territory like a bolt of lightning!

Konoha on the opposite side also found Ai's trace.

"The people of Cloud Shinobi are rushing in our direction!"

The Hyuga clan's Byakugan users focused on Ai's direction.

"He's fast. Judging by his Chakra, it must be Ai, the Raikage candidate from Kumo Village!"

A trace of seriousness crossed Akimichi Torifu's face.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be such a problem

But with Ai, his speed was simply too fast.

Gripping a huge iron fork, Akamichi Torifu commanded coldly, 

"Stop him at all costs!"

"Yes, sir!"

A large group of Konoha ninjas moved to surround Ai under Torifu's command. 

Naturally, Kumo Shinobi wouldn't stand by and do nothing.

"Do your best to cover Lord Ai's movements!"

"Yes!"

A fierce battle was about to erupt! 

The once-peaceful forest transformed instantly into a terrifying battlefield.

Ai, surrounded by blue lightning, moved swiftly through the trees.

"With that speed, you're not even worthy to touch my shoes!" 

His speed was simply unmatched.

Not only is his speed fast, but his physique and strength are also ridiculously strong.

Even ninjas who managed to intercept him couldn't stand a chance; each was taken down in a single move.

He was like a sharp dagger, cutting straight into Konoha's heart.

"Stop him!"

Konoha's ninjas charged forward, undeterred by the risk to their lives.

But there was Thunder coming, and an elbow heavier than steel.

"Heavy Burst!"

With a powerful swing, Ai released a massive current, creating a devastating impact. 

It shattered the kunai in the ninja's hand, sending him flying instantly!

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"

A large earthen wall rose up, but it couldn't stop Ai's advance. 

The walls were no match for his Lightning Style Armor and crumbled upon contact! 

"Ninja Expansion Jutsu!"

Finally, Akamichi Torifu arrived, instantly swelling to dozens of times his normal size.

Like a titan, Akamichi Torifu extended his massive hand, ready to punch Ai with a fist as large as a mountain!

Most people would retreat in fear at the sight, but not Ai. 

He wouldn't dodge; he intended to be the strongest spear, just like the Third Raikage.

He aimed to pierce through all enemies! 

The stronger the opponent, the more excited he became. 

A massive surge of lightning gathered on his arm, forming a thunder axe. 

"Lightning Style: Lateral Bolt of Pain!"

He swung the thunder-wrapped blade, colliding forcefully with the fist that was as heavy as a mountain.

Terrible thunder and lightning exploded in all directions, illuminating the ground beneath.

The earth shattered completely under Ai's feet, but he grinned fiercely. 

"You lose!"

With all his strength, he swung his hand, slicing through Akamichi Torifu's giant fist with a scary force. 

Blood fell like a torrential rain.

Akamichi Torifu staggered back from the punch, his expression ugly. 

Even with the help of Expansion Jutsu, he was at a disadvantage in a direct power clash! 

Ai smirked. Though reckless, he still had a basic sense of combat awareness. 

What mattered now wasn't defeating Akimichi Torifu, but bringing the Nine Tails Jinchūriki back to Kumo Village!

"I won't play with you anymore."

With his terrifying speed, swiftly bypassed Akimichi Torifu and charged directly toward Kushina direction.
