"Hehe, Ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village, no need to be so absolute in your words."

"Allow us in or not, I believe you don't have that authority. Did you even ask your higher-ups?"

As he spoke, an astonishing aura erupted from Asahi's body.

Although Asahi didn't want to fight, being in the ninja world, necessary intimidation was indispensable no matter where he went.

The Cloud Shinobi on the opposite side couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. 

If Asahi had been serious, the Cloud Shinobi with just upper-level ninja strength would have lost the ability to resist.

"What exactly do you want to do? This is the Hidden Cloud Village!"

Swallowing a deep spit, the Cloud Jonin directly sent out a warning signal and assumed a defensive posture, sternly rebuking Asahi and his group.

Asahi, not angered by this, smiled calmly and said, "No need to be so tense. That was your Hidden Cloud Village's alarm signal just now, right?"

"Now it's simple; we'll wait for the higher-ups from your village."

After saying that, Asahi stood with folded arms quietly at the entrance of the Hidden Cloud Village, awaiting the arrival of the Cloud Village's leadership.

Seeing this, Shisui and Sakumo Hatake also stood silently behind Asahi, not saying much.

The Cloud Shinobi, though nervous, didn't dare to make the first move, only assuming a defensive posture to guard against any unexpected actions from Asahi's group.

It has to be said that the signal from the Cloud Jonin was, in fact, unnecessary.

Because of Asahi's intimidating outbreak just now, most of the strong individuals in the Hidden Cloud Village had already sensed it.

At that moment, the Third Raikage Ay, who was instructing the future Fourth Raikage Ai and the future Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails Killer Bee in their training, instantly erupted with a large amount of lightning-chakra.

After sternly shouting, "Who dares to cause trouble in the Hidden Cloud Village," he vanished from the spot, leaving Ai and Killer Bee standing there. 

The two exchanged a glance and swiftly headed towards the village entrance.

Although the Third Raikage is not as skilled in speed as his son, Ai is proficient in using lightning chakra. Therefore, his speed is not to be underestimated.

In addition, Ai is still far from growing into his peak.

So when the Third Raikage arrived at the village entrance, while Ai was still on his way.

*Boom* *Boom*

With the sonic boom, a tall and muscular man with black features appeared in front of Asahi. 

The large lightning tattoo on his shoulder easily identified him as the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, Ay.

As the Cloud Jonin who discovered Asahi's group saw their own Raikage coming, the tension in his heart instantly dissipated.

After scrutinizing Asahi and his group, the Third Raikage furrowed his brows. It seemed that this opponent was somewhat troublesome.

"Are you here to oppose my Hidden Cloud Village!?"

With the sound of his voice, lightning began to flicker around the Third Raikage. 

Although the enemy seemed challenging, as the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud, he wouldn't back down.

Helplessly watching this scene, Asahi felt deeply exhausted from the Hidden Cloud Village people. Why were the people here so muscle-brain?

From bottom to top, even the Raikage was quick to resort to violence without any discussion.

"Raikage, right? You misunderstood. We're just here to experience the local customs of your esteemed village, not to be enemies of the Hidden Cloud."

Asahi rubbed his temples and said with some headache. The Third Raikage disdainfully laughed. 

Was Ay considered foolish to think they came to experience the local customs at this moment?

"Oh? Experience the local customs? Fine, but you have to follow the rules of our Hidden Cloud."

The Third Raikage said in a muffled voice, confident that he could make these people in front of him retreat.

Swoosh, swoosh~

At this moment, Ai and Killer Bee also arrived, and many others followed suit. Seeing the appearance of the two familiar figures, Asahi didn't pay much attention.

Although the Ai and Bee duo had incredible potential, being a future Fourth Raikage and a future Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, they couldn't become Asahi's disciples. 

Hearing a turning point in the Third Raikage's words, Asahi curiously asked, "Oh~ I wonder what the rules of the Hidden Cloud Village are? Do tell."

The Third Raikage grinned, revealing his stark white teeth in contrast to his skin color, and said, "Hehe, the rules are simple. Fight with me. As long as you defeat me, you can come and go from the Hidden Cloud Village as you please."

"Don't say that we, Hidden Cloud, are bullying you. As long as you can injure me, you win."

Hearing this, not only was Asahi speechless, but even the just-arrived Ai and Killer Bee were also left speechless.

Who doesn't know that the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning possesses the world's top-tier attack and defense capabilities?

As the proclaimed strongest spear and shield, isn't he bullying others by saying such things? Clearly, anyone who becomes a Kage is not simple.

The Third Raikage's actions not only preserved the face of Asahi and his group but also adhered to the rules of the Hidden Cloud Village.

It's a fair gamble; admitting defeat when your strength is inferior is the norm. Facing a powerhouse of this level, nobody would hold a grudge.

Asahi was speechless. It's not that he lacked the confidence to defeat the Third Raikage; he just found the man's shamelessness a bit too much.

Asahi didn't forget that in the original anime, if it weren't for Naruto's clever tactics, dealing with the Third Raikage's Impure World Reincarnation would have been challenging.

Giving the Third Raikage a deep look, Asahi wondered how he managed to cultivate such thick skin.

"Byakko, are you confident that you can harm the Third Raikage, known as the strongest shield?"

Asahi turned to ask Sakumo, and if he wasn't confident, Asahi was ready to step in himself.

He wanted to make this supposed strongest shield understand that confidence is good, but overconfidence is another matter.

The Third Raikage, hearing Asahi's somewhat playful words, wasn't angered. After all, he initiated the challenge; it was only fair for them to retaliate.

It was just banter, and they couldn't possibly win against him.

Sakumo, upon hearing this, looked deeply at the Third Raikage and said, "My lord, give me a sword. I can't guarantee victory, but I can injure him."

Upon hearing this, everyone, except Asahi and Shisui, couldn't help but laugh at Asahi's masked subordinate.

Don't you know the Third Raikage is the strongest Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village?

He's a combination of the strongest spear and shield, not someone you can challenge casually, you know?
