"LARIAAAT!!!!"

...

I immediately tried to jump backward.

*CRACK*

I can feel my neck getting slashed and broken. 

*BOOM*

I got thrown on the ground and a crater is formed all around me.

I can feel blood bursting out of my neck. The only thing holding my head together with my body is my spine. I can't even move my body below my neck anymore as the lighting running through my system has temporarily paralyzed me.

<Creation Rebirth>

I hope this can heal my injuries... c'mon please I... I don't want to die... I am scared... SH*T... the flesh is too far apart IT'S NOT HEALING... 

F*CKF*CKF*CKF*CK...

OK CALM DOWN...

I extend chakra strings from my head and bring the separated flesh on my neck closer together...

He was a tall, dark-skinned man with a large muscular and well-defined build. He had a full head of white hair that flowed into his back along with a long beard. He had unusual eyes, which had green irides, dark sclerae, and no pupils. 

His face has pronounced cheekbones and tear troughs under his eyes, and a prominent crease across his forehead with a mole above his right eyebrow. His top lip also had a darker pigmentation than the bottom one. His canine teeth were also slightly elongated. He has the kanji for 'lightning' tattooed on his right shoulder. He also had a lightning bolt-shaped scar that runs across the right side of his c.h.e.s.t.

There's no doubt about it, IT IS THE 3RD RAIKAGE!

Then I feel the ground under me shift a little I panic but when I notice the two chakra signatures under me I relax.

*Crack*

Two of my shadow clones come from underground and take me below the ground. Then they start running away from there.

Now that I am safer I need to think of a plan. When the 3rd Raikage appeared far away within my range of detection, he didn't stop to look for me, he just charged... 

So the most likely conclusion is that he had a long-distance sensor with him... and a good one probably, because why didn't the Raikage attack my other 100 clones...? The most probable answer is because the sensor is able to sense which is a clone or which one is not.

I need to run away NOW... since once he meets with the Raikage... I am a DEAD man...

...

...

After almost 4 minutes my neck is all healed. But even with the healing, I have a huge scar surrounding my neck.

*Boom*

I hear the Raikage attacking the earth on the surface. He knows that I probably went into hiding underground. 

I am having the two of my clones fix my arteries and vocal cords or I won't be able to talk for the rest of my life. Even Creation Rebirth can't perfectly fix an almost cut off head with lightning running through my body...

...F*CK... I was so close to dying... if I hadn't jumped back to lessen the impact my head would have been separated from my shoulders.... and I would have died...

...

...

After healing me, I have ordered my last two clones to take out the last members of the Kaguya clan. It's a shame that I wouldn't be able to have them as test subjects but I can't let that uncertainty in my plan live. No loose ends...

*Boom*

The Raikage is still rampaging about. But I need to first wait for the sensor to meet up with the Raikage and then kill the sensor to escape... 

Because even if I escaped now, they would follow me anyhow. After all, even after almost 10 minutes since I disappeared underground, he hasn't entered my chakra sensing range. For a ninja traveling at that speed, it must mean that the sensor has a detection range between 5-10 km... 

That is crazy... I don't know anyone even in Konoha who has that type of range. The longest I know is the Yamanaka Clan Head who is said to have a sensing range of 3 km.

But I know with the Raikage here the chances of me killing the sensor are almost zero. Also, there might be other ninjas with the sensor… Then my chances of getting out of this alive become 0% with a 100% chance of death…

If I travel underground with an earth Jutsu I will be too slow to escape... I need to get on the surface and somehow run away from the Raikage... 

NOW...!
