3rd Raikage full

Summary

A was the Third Raikage (三代目雷影, Sandaime Raikage) of Kumogakure, renowned for being the greatest Raikage the village has ever had.

Powers and Stats

Tier: Unknown, possibly 7-A, at least 6-C, possibly Low 6-B with Lightning Release Chakra Mode, far higher with Hell Stab

Name: A, "Third Raikage"

Origin: Naruto

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown

Classification: Human, Shinobi, Raikage | Edo Tensei

Powers and Abilities:

Attack Potency: Unknown, possibly Mountain level (He should be somewhat comparable to his son, as they share a similar level of power and physical constitution[Note 1]), at least Island level,[Note 2] possibly Small Country level+ with Lightning Release Chakra Mode (The Raikage, or "A", is the strongest Shinobi in the village.[92] During A's long reign this included several Jinchūriki, including Killer B, and his son. Furthermore, the 3rd Raikage has a reputation for being the only Shinobi in history to fight a Bijuu unarmored and unarmed.[78] His Databook entry[93] offers further support for this by citing his ability to fight Gyūki with his bare hands, and sever his tails. Gyūki himself praises the Raikage's strength and reselience, and tells Naruto of one of their battles where they fought until exhaustion and collapsed simultaneously[79][Note 3]), at least Island level,[Note 4] possibly Small Country level+ with Hell Stab (Using this move, the Raikage was capable of easily chopping off all of Gyūki's tails at the same time[79] due to the greatly enhanced cutting power offered by this move. This move is also capable of easily piercing the Raikage himself, even through his Lightning Release Chakra Mode[79][Note 5])

Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+ (Should likely be comparable to his son) | Sub-Relativistic (Able to keep up with KCM Naruto)

Lifting Strength: Class G (One of the physically strongest shinobi, can grapple with KCM Naruto and broke out of Gaara's sand restraint)

Striking Strength: Unknown, possibly Mountain level (Should be somewhat comparable to his son), at least Island level, possibly Small Country level+ with Lightning Release Chakra Mode (Comparable to Gyūki and his son), far higher with Hell Stab

Durability: At least Island level, possibly Small Country level+ (Should be comparable to his son, as they were stated to be the only ones able to withstand Mabui’s jutsu[94]), far higher with Lightning Release Chakra Mode (Should be comparable to his striking strength. Has been described as "impenetrable" in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.[78] Gyūki implied that he used Bijū bombs against the Raikage,[79] with him surviving them and only succumbing to his own Hell Stab. Survived KCM Naruto's Rasenshuriken with very minimal damage[78])

Stamina:

Range: Standard Melee Range, higher with Hell Stab,[79] Several Meters with shockwaves[78]

Standard Equipment:

  • Optional:
    • Kohaku no Jōhei: The Kohaku no Jōhei (琥珀の浄瓶, literally meaning: Amber Purifying Pot) is a large pot that had the ability to seal anyone within it, if the target responds when called by the wielder of the pot. If the person responds, the pot records their voice and then seals them. It is similar to the Benihisago in function, but more advanced, as less preparation is required.

Intelligence: Unknown normally, likely Above Average in combat (Little to almost nothing is shown of A's intelligence, but it should be assumed that he was an experienced individual in both leadership and battle, as he was a Kage and participated in the Third Shinobi World War)

Weaknesses: A's One Finger Kumite (also known as the "strongest spear") surpasses the power of his "strongest shield," being able to pierce through his Lightning Release Chakra Mode and his own durable body. This could be used against him if somehow he were made to attack himself.[79]

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Lightning Release: One of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allows the user to generate lightning by increasing the high-frequency vibrations of their chakra, allowing for piercing damage and fast movement. The electricity paralyzes the target so that they are unable to move and leave them vulnerable to a finishing strike. While uncommon, lightning can be infused into bladed weapons in a way similar to Wind Release thfough chakra flow for increased the piercing power through vibrations, with the added effect of inducing numbness.
    • Lightning Release Chakra Mode: The user wraps their body in a layer of lightning chakra to increase their physical parameters, with more lightning causing greater increases. As users coat more lightning chakra around themselves, the more their hair sticks up. The lightning augments the strength of the user's taijutsu, creating what is called nintaijutsu. The lightning also defends the user from most attacks, deflecting them away on contact; the Fourth Raikage is impressed when Chidori pierces through to him, however slightly. The lightning chakra stimulates the user's nervous system, enhancing their speed and their reaction time. The user's reflexes are heightened enough to perform a Lightning Release Body Flicker (雷遁の瞬身, Raiton no Shunshin, English TV: Lightning Style: Teleportation), dodging attacks as fast as Amaterasu. The user is so fast that not even the Sharingan can track their movements; only Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique and Naruto Uzumaki's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode have been shown to be faster.
      • Lightning Straight:[101] This is a direct high-speed attack employed by the Third and Fourth Raikage while cloaked in the Lightning Style Chakra Mode. The user propels themselves towards the opponent and delivers a punch at their maximum speed. Although it's a straightforward attack, it allows the user to adjust their body's direction at the last moment, ensuring they can hit the target even if they try to evade. The only shinobi who managed to evade the Straight Lightning were Minato Namikaze with his Flying Raijin Technique and Naruto Uzumaki using the speed of his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. Obito Uchiha also avoided the attack due to the intangibility granted by his Kamui.
      • Hell Stab: The Hell Stab is the strongest technique of the Third Raikage, whereby he concentrates a considerable amount of lightning chakra into just the fingertips of a single hand and then performs a thrusting motion, which allows him to pierce a target in a somewhat similar manner to the Chidori and Lightning Cutter. The intensity, size and strength of the technique can be proportionally increased by reducing the number of fingers involved:
        • Four-Finger Nukite (四本貫手, Yonhon Nukite, English TV: Piercing Four Fingered): Strong enough to break through robust defences with relative ease.
        • Three-Finger Nukite (三本貫手, Sanbon Nukite, English TV: Three Fingered Assault): Effective against even malleable materials that can usually handle a blow by dissipating its force. By swinging his hand, the Third can create a shock-wave powerful enough to send opponents in the immediate area around him flying back.
        • One-Finger Nukite (一本貫手, Ippon Nukite, English TV: One Fingered Assault): Thrusting into the target creates what is known as the "strongest spear" (最強の矛, saikyō no hoko, English TV: invincible spear), where the concentration of chakra is so great that it extends well beyond the finger in a lone point. It was capable of cutting off all of Gyūki's tails at once during an encounter and was even able to pierce the Third's own Lightning Release Chakra Mode, backfiring the damage and scarring his body, which due to his immense durability that was well regarded as the "strongest shield" (最強の盾, saikyō no tate). Depending on the situation, it can be also be used for vertical cuts, becoming a legendary sword.
    • Black Lightning: Black Lightning is a unique form of Lightning Release utilised by the Third Raikage, who passed it on to Darui alone. Not much is known about it, but as the name suggests, the lightning produced is black in colour.
