Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

On Fengding Plain, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure stood solemnly, staring at the distant figure perched atop a boulder. His throat tightened as he spoke. 

"Is Gural truly in his hands?" he asked, his voice low and grave. 

"Yes," Ai replied with a mix of frustration and helplessness. "Gural didn't die in the previous battle. Instead, he hid himself. We used his supposed capture as justification to move against Iwagakure. But... I don't understand why he insisted on us coming here this time."

Ai withheld one crucial detail: Gural had secretly sent him a message, urging him to bring Raikage to this location. Gural had assured him that the mission carried no real danger, a promise Ai clung to in the hopes of saving his brother.

"I understand," the Third Raikage said, his expression hardening. "Prepare for battle. That man—Madara Uchiha—is not someone you can judge by conventional standards."

The Raikage's resolve firmed. If Madara publicly executed Gural, Kumogakure would have no choice but to retaliate. Better to confront Madara here and now than to wait for an inevitable battle later.

### The Clash Begins

"It's time," Ai whispered, noticing a subtle signal from Gural in the distance.

In an instant, Ai and Killer Bee released their powerful Lightning Release techniques and charged forward like streaks of light. Behind them, the Third Raikage shouted, "Everyone, attack!" and led the Kumogakure forces into the fray.

The clash was immediate and brutal. Uchiha Madara stood unmoving as Kumogakure's elite forces descended upon him. Despite the ferocity of their assault, he swatted them away effortlessly, his strikes precise and almost casual. 

Ai and Killer Bee barely managed a few exchanges before they were sent flying, their attacks dismantled as if they were mere sparring partners.

### Enter the Third Raikage

The Third Raikage leaped into the fray, lightning crackling around him as his fingers formed into a deadly spear.

"**Lightning Release: Hell Stab!**" 

He lunged at Madara, his spear aimed directly at his opponent's chest. The attack detonated with an earth-shattering roar, the shockwave engulfing the battlefield in dust and debris. 

For a brief moment, silence reigned.

Then, cutting through the haze, a dark blue blade sliced forward. Madara's Susanoo had materialized, its immense long sword forcing the Third Raikage to retreat. 

The dust cleared, revealing the full form of Madara's Susanoo—imposing and radiating an unearthly power. 

Madara's voice rang out, calm yet chilling. "Fighting with my own body is far more satisfying. Manipulating events from the shadows never suited me." He raised a hand, releasing an overwhelming surge of chakra. The skeletal frame of Susanoo quickly evolved, muscle and armor forming in rapid succession. 

The second stage of Susanoo stood complete, towering over the battlefield.

### Kumogakure's Desperation

"Is this... the Ninja Demon?" one Kumogakure ninja muttered, his voice trembling. "How are we supposed to fight something like this?"

Before despair could fully take hold, the jinchūriki Yukito and Killer Bee unleashed their tailed beast forms. Massive chakra began to gather as they prepared **Tailed Beast Bombs**, aiming directly at Madara. 

The orbs of destruction shot forward, hurtling toward Madara's Susanoo.

"Tailed Beast Bombs?" Madara murmured, his voice laced with disdain. "You beasts dare challenge me?"

Susanoo's hand reached for the hilt of its blade. "**Sword of Budō: Soul Taming!**" With a single swing, the massive blade cut through the air, slicing the incoming Tailed Beast Bombs in half. The attacks detonated harmlessly in the distance, their power utterly neutralized.

Madara moved his fingers again, forming a sequence of seals. His Susanoo entered its third stage, its armor reinforced and wings spreading from its back.

### Relentless Assaults

The Third Raikage roared, pushing his limits. "Keep attacking! Don't give Madara Uchiha a moment to counter!"

Kumogakure's ninjas unleashed a torrent of techniques.

"**Lightning Release: Cang Lei Explosion!**" 

"**Lightning Release: False Darkness!**" 

"**Lightning Release: Heavenly Thunder Spear!**"

Each attack thundered toward Madara, but none managed to penetrate Susanoo's defenses. Even the Tailed Beast Bombs from Killer Bee and Yukito were brushed aside like toys. 

Madara's calm, mocking voice cut through the chaos. "Is this the extent of your power? You've spent years honing these techniques, yet they're no more effective than children's games."

### The Third Raikage's Revelation

Despite the hopelessness of the situation, the Third Raikage noticed something peculiar. Madara had yet to deliver a killing blow. His movements lacked the bloodlust and finality of a true battle. 

"Why isn't he trying to kill us?" the Raikage muttered under his breath. "This doesn't make sense..."

He extended his senses further, searching for an answer. What he discovered made his blood run cold.

"Hanzo of the Salamander... Onoki of the Fence-Sitter... Why are they here too?" he murmured. 

He glanced toward the horizon and saw another force approaching—Konoha's shinobi led by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Raikage-sama," Ai said urgently as he appeared beside him. "Hokage and his forces will arrive in minutes. We just need to hold out until then!"

The Third Raikage clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing. This wasn't just a battle—it was a gathering of forces from across the ninja world. But what was the true purpose behind this confrontation? Madara's restrained attacks, the presence of other villages, and the impending arrival of Konoha painted a picture far more complex than a mere skirmish.

"Hold the line!" the Raikage bellowed. "We'll deal with these mysteries once the Hokage arrives!"
