How did third Raikage die originally?

[Zero Tails]

My guess is in his one versus 10,000, he died from overusing chakra. Is that a safe assumption?

old age....?

 

[Klubargutan]

hearth attack

 

[deidara senpai]

[Shivamcoder3013]

Zarotails, yes-the 1000 ninjas.

 

[Sarutobi Sasuke]

Im glad this chapter came out to put an end to the amount of people saying he is top 5 caliber

 

[Professor Sarutobi]

The page makz linked, and this week reminded me of the incredibles with the robot made of metal that could only be destroyed with the same metal. The raikage is the only one who.could hurt himself xd ( hence the scar )

This is correct. The 3rd Raikage died while fightign 10,000 ninjas.

Dodai says that he "heard" that the Raikage didn't collapse for 3 days and nights. If the Raikage made it out and survived then he would have stated it as a fact instead of saying he "heard" it.
