3. Ay, The Fourth Raikage

This story begins when the Five Kage gathered for an important meeting to form the Shinobi Alliance with the main goal of eradicating the Akatsuki. During the meeting, Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, took the initiative by appointing Danzo as the leader of the Five Great Nations’ Shinobi Alliance. However, Ao, using his Byakugan, noticed something suspicious. He revealed that Danzo had been manipulating Mifune with Genjutsu from Shisui’s Sharingan.

Amid the rising tension between the Five Kage due to Danzo’s deceitful actions, the meeting grew increasingly heated. Suddenly, Zetsu appeared and caused an uproar in front of everyone, saying, “Sasuke Uchiha is here—find him.” Ay, accompanied by Darui and Shee, immediately rushed to find Sasuke, eager to vent his anger, as Sasuke was blamed for Bee’s abduction.

The encounter between Ay and Sasuke quickly escalated into a fierce battle. During the fight, Ay praised Sasuke’s Chidori for piercing his body, even though he was protected by his Lightning Release Armor. Ay also noted that Chidori was Kakashi’s creation, making him even more impressed with Sasuke’s mastery of the technique.

Ay then grabbed Sasuke and slammed him to the ground with his Taijutsu move, Liger Bomb. However, Sasuke managed to save himself by activating Susano’o just in time, which shielded him from the devastating impact. This feat amazed Darui, as Sasuke became the first person to survive Ay’s deadly Liger Bomb.

Ay didn’t stop there. He heightened his Chakra levels to match those of a Bijuu, granting him speed comparable to Minato. With incredible swiftness, Ay suddenly appeared behind Sasuke, ready to deliver a fatal punch with his Raigyaku Suihei technique.

However, he hesitated when he noticed that Sasuke had covered his Susano’o with an Amaterasu Shield. Realizing that touching it would set him ablaze, Ay paused for a moment.

Feeling insulted, Ay decided to press on with his attack and struck Sasuke’s face, sending his body flying and causing him to spit out blood. Ay’s bold decision to continue the assault came with a heavy price. His left arm was engulfed by Amaterasu’s black flames, forcing him to sever it to prevent the inextinguishable fire from spreading further.
