7 Raikage, you are too thin

The next day at noon.

Two mighty ninja armys are facing of on a large empty plain. There are no tricks, no strategies, just a full blown show-down between Konoha and Kumogakure.

The 2000 man army of Konoha seems a little weak in front of the 5000 Kumo-ninjas, who were standing with high-spirits.

The huge difference in number and their leaders Fourth Raikage Ai with his sworn brother Killer Bee, the perfekt 8-Tails Jinchuriki, fills the Kumo ninjas with incredible confidence.

Their moral is at an all time high.

In contrast, the Konoha ninjas looked worried.

Is this battle really winnable?

Danzo stood at the forefront and saw the situation clearly, but he didn't plan to make any motivational speeches, because the difference is really too big.

A speech doesn't change anything, only a clear result can boost the morale of the army.

And he is ready to give them such a result.

Looking at the confident Fourth Raikage, he took a deep breath and shouted, while amplifying his voice with chakra.

"Raikage! Let's fight a life and death battle, one against one.

Anyway, you should have the confidence to defeat me.

Why don't you take this chance to eliminate a Kage-level combat power for free, before the battle even starts.

What do you think?"

This was Danzos real plan, but he didn't tell the others, because they don't know his strength and would never agree to such a 'stupid' decision.

Danzo also isn't sure if Raikage will agree, so he didn't mention it.

But seeing the differences between the armies, Danzo became firmer in his plan.

Kumogakure is not the only village that wants to attack Konoha, if the two armies are really allowed to clash, then there will be a lot of casualities, even if they win.

Then there will be fewer ninjas left to fight against other villages, who might attack.

Fourth Raikage was stunned when he heard Danzos words and then started laughing loudly.

And he wasn't the only one, almost everyone on Kumo's side started laughing, as if they had heard the biggest joke.

With a big smile, Ai spoke.

"Alright, you old guy. If you are willing to give me your head, then I will take it hahaha!"

After speaking he jumped to the empty area between the armies.

Konoha's ninjas on the other hand were horrified.

Nara Shikaku reacted the fastest and spoke to Danzo in a low voice.

"What are you doing? Do you think this is a joke?"

Danzo ignored his words and jumped 10 meters in front of Ai.

Slowly taking off the jacket and shirt he was wearing, Danzo glanced at Ai with cold eyes. Nobody likes to be ridiculed, even if it makes sense, considering the strength of old Danzo, but he will kill this bastard today. Jesus can't keep him.

But Raikage still didn't take him seriously and forcibly tore of the shirt he was wearing.

Until the body under Danzo's clothing was revealed, he fell into brief shock.

Danzo noticed it and smiled, looking at Raikage's upper body for a moment, he spoke sarcastically.

"Raikage Ai, is Kumogakure so poor? Even you as their leader don't get enough to eat. After this battle, maybe I should donate some food to your village. Otherwise, it will break my heart, if everyone is as thin as you."

The field fell into silence and Ai's face turned livid, but he didn't refute, there is a difference noticeable to the naked eye between their bodies.

Ai's eyes turned cold and without continuing to talk nonsense, electric arcs appeared all over his body.

Lightning-style chakra mode was directly activated and he disappeared from his position at extreme speed.

Danzo also instantly reacted. With one push, the ground cracked and without moving from his position he threw out a straight punch, that had gathered the power of his whole body.

And as he expected, the confident Raikage had no intention of using any complicated techniques, just went straight for his head.

Raikage who saw Danzo's move, wanted to laugh a little. Even if youre body looks amazing, you are just an old man in the end, how dare you compete with me physically.

But this thought disappeared when their fists met.

Air pressure spread in all directions, and a terrifying sonic boom sounded in the ears of everyone.

But they ignored it, instead they watched with open mouths as the fourth Raikage, was sent flying by Danzo's punch.

But when they saw Raikage jump up instantly, with no injuries, they were relieved, but still took Danzo more seriously. Someone who can compete physically with Ai should not be underestimated.

Although Ai didn't show anything on his face, in his mind he knew that he almost used 60% of his strength, but Danzo still took his punch easily.

No longer daring to play around, Ai's face turned solemn, and his three fingers of his left hand stretched out.

Hell stab: Sanbon Nukite

Danzo saw Raikages movements and a weird smile appeared on his face.

Ai, you are dead.

At extreme speed, Raikage seems to have turned into lightning and appeared in front of Danzo instantly. Sanbon Nukite was aimed straight at Danzo's heart, without holding back in the slightest.

Danzo also cooperated, seemingly unable to keep up with the speed and his face showed an horrified expression, as Raikages hand penetrated his body at the position of his heart.

Ai also breathed a sigh of relief, when he saw himself succeed so easily.

'Heh, it seems you are nothing more than that.'

But then he noticed something weird, he has penetrated the bodies of many ninjas in his career, but this time it felt completely different.

But before he could think further, he only heard a slight whisper.

Magma style: Donut no jutsu

At the same time, Danzo's fist that had turned into extremely hot, red magma had already hit his sternum with extreme force.

The fist penetrated Ai's body without any resistance and burned his internal organs into nothingness instantly. The ninjas in this world don't have the terrifying vitality of the humans in One Piece.

This kind of injury is certain death, without any possibilty of recovery.

The Kumo-ninjas who were about to cheer, stopped abruptly. With horrified expressions, they watched as the body of their mighty leader fell down, after Danzo took back his fist.

The Konoha ninjas whose attention was focused on Danzo, noticed that the place, where he should have been penetrated by Ai, turned into magma and slowly closed.

Danzo went to Ai's body, used Magma to seperate Ai's head from his body and held it up to the sky.

Letting out a loud warcry, his muscles were flexed, making him look like Hercules.

"VICTORY! AOOOHHHHH"

'For ninjas intelligence is indeed the most important thing.'

Normally, taking out such a strong Kage-level ninja as easily as now, is of course impossible for the current Danzo.

But the difference in intelligence and gave him the chance to easily kill Ai. After all, who can imagine, that Danzo, who has been famous for decades and whose intelligence is pretty clear to the high-levels of other villages, suddenly posesses such abilities?

With all that together, Ai was easily turned into a donut. Making him the first victim of this technique in the ninja world.

The others also reacted this time and loud cheers errupted from behind Danzo.

"Danzo-sama!"

"So strong, what the hell, I clearly saw his heart was penetrated?"

Nara Shikaku's eyes squinted and he forcibly calmed himself down from the shock.

'This should be a similar technique to the Hydration jutsu from Kirigakure...'

But then he stopped thinking further, the war has only just begun after all.

And sure enough, after a brief silence, the Kumo ninjas exploded.
