3rd Raikage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Character Information: The Third Raikage (三代目雷影 Sandaime Raikage Literally meaning "Third Lightning Shadow") was the leader of Kumogakure thirty years prior to the Fourth Shinobi World War. The Third held try-outs along with Dodai in order to search for a tag-team partner for his son A which is a long-standing tradition for the Raikage. As the exercise was seemingly going to end in failure again, he lamented the fact that this would have been unnecessary if A had an actual brother. After seeing the dummy's head finally falls off, he looks on at B and his son, glad that they had finally found a suitable candidate. His rule was punctuated with the berserk attacks of the Eight-Tails. As they couldn't dispose of such a valuable war deterrent, he was forced to look for a suitable jinchūriki one after the other. During one of these attacks, the Third fought the Eight-Tails alone, allowing his comrades to escape. As a result received the scar on his chest which became his life's shame and as such has never spoken about it. This was because the Raikage had inflicted the wound on himself after collapsing onto his own hand after fighting the beast. He made it a personal duty to combat the Eight-Tails whenever its jinchūriki lost control of it. His son was also made part of this group. At one point, he chose to seal the Eight-Tails in the Kohaku no Jōhei, resulting in the host's death, hoping that someone else would have more success in controlling it. When Killer B was made the jinchūriki, the Eight-Tails' rampages were brought to an end. At some point he also mentored Darui, passing the secrets of the Black Lightning technique down to him. In the past, he once faced an army of ten thousand Iwagakure shinobi by himself for three days and nights in order to allow his comrades to escape to safety. He eventually died after this encounter, and with his death, the position of Raikage was passed onto his son, A. He would however become renown for his extraordinary level of endurance and strength above all else to the point where his body itself would become renown as the "strongest shield".



Abilities: The Fact that he became the Third Raikage is testiment enough to his Abilities. He like his son A have a enormous reserve of chakra which goes hand in hand with his immense stamina so much so he was able to halt the advance of an army of 10, 000 shinobi for 3 days and 3 nights. To complement this great stamina he also has great physical strength and speed. His is capable of withstanding attacks of B rank and below without damage. This has given him the saying that his body is the strongest shield. The Third was a very powerful Lightning Release user, known for using Black Lightning, which he taught to Darui. Like his son he is also capable of using the Lightning Release Armour. He also possesses a technique that is comparable to the chidori and the Raikiri where he focuses his lightning chakra into his fingers, creating a strong piercing effect and can make the piercing effect even more powerful by focusing the lightning chakra by reducing the number of fingers used. Dodai claims that it is his strongest ninjutsu referring to it as the "strongest spear" when the Raikage used the attack with one finger.
