Chapter 841: Diving Down!
Minato Namikaze did not dispel the two Shadow Clones from before, as the Smoke and Sound when a Shadow Clone disappears are not small.
So, he simply had them walk at the very front of their Group (Unit), continuing to act as Scouts.
The four people, split into two pairs, all transformed into Desert Lizards about ten centimeters long, and then used the Invisibility Technique to further conceal their Figure.
As for 'Chamaru', since it only knew the Transformation Technique and the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to return to Konohagakure's Inuzuka Clan Grounds.
It could only transform into a Desert Lizard and then crawl into Inuzuka E's upper pocket.
Soon.
The two Manifestations, four people, and one dog silently bypassed the outer Watchtowers.
Then came the second, and the third. To ensure they didn't cause too much Commotion, their movement Speed was a bit slow. They cautiously spent nearly a full hour finally approaching the East Side of Lou Lan City's City Wall.
At this time.
The four had already stopped using the Radio, showing great Rapport, as they knew there must be many Experts on top, especially those with Sensory Ability.
However, no matter how dangerous, they still had to find a way to enter Inside the City, because they were Ninja, and their Mission was precisely this.
Next.
While maintaining the Invisibility Technique Effect, Minato Namikaze underwent Recovery to his Human Form, and then, according to the Operation Plan they had discussed along the way, he first attempted to enter Inside the City alone.
Yes.
Normally, he could have just jumped up, but for the sake of concealment, he attached a layer of Chakra to his hands and feet, climbing up the rough wall surface, which was severely weathered, like a gecko.
A moment later.
Hizashi Hyuga also underwent Recovery to his Human Form while in the Invisibility state.
Because he couldn't use the Byakugan in the form of a Lizard, he needed to use the Byakugan to conduct Surveillance of the surrounding Commotion for Minato Namikaze and give timely reminders if a Situation arose.
"There are so many!"
Minato Namikaze was surprised to find upon reaching the City Wall Top that not only was there a Gun-wielding Soldier guarding every ten meters or so on the City Wall Top.
Inside the familiar Lou Lan City, on the Sky Bridges crisscrossing between the Spires, there were also many Gun-wielding Soldiers were on Patrol in Columns, and occasionally, they could see some Men in Black flying by stepping on the Air.
This was definitely a well-organized, large Influence/Power!
"But where are the Ninja?"
Minato Namikaze's Line of Sight kept Scanning, but he couldn't see any Figure dressed as Ninja. Could it be that there was no Sea Ninja Village at all, and they were all disguised before?
Regardless, they had to go deeper.
Because there were Gun-wielding Soldiers nearby, he couldn't make a Sound, so he could only stay close to the City Wall and make a tactical Hand Signal to the people below. He knew Hizashi Hyuga was watching from below.
Soon.
With Hizashi Hyuga's discreet reminders, the three successfully climbed onto the City Wall Top one after another, and then continued to maintain a formation of two in front and two behind, moving towards the Central High Tower Inside the City of Lou Lan.
As expected of four Konoha Jonin, their Professional level in this regard was without Moisture.
Their caution was even more astonishing. Using Hizashi Hyuga's Byakugan Ability, as long as there was someone wearing a Black Suit ahead, they would always go around or wait for the other party to leave first.
Because they were unwilling to gamble on whether the other party had that strange Sensory Ability.
"We're here!"
Minato Namikaze and Choza Akimichi, who were walking in front, arrived near the base of the towering giant High Tower, pressing close to a Spire wall to observe the Gun-wielding Soldiers near the Main Gate in the distance.
"Captain, the Rooms on each floor of this High Tower have a large number of Men, Women, Old and Young who seem like Civilians. There are also a few people on the top floor, one of whom is a Women sitting on a Throne, who should be the Queen of Rōran."
Hizashi Hyuga quickly said in a heavily suppressed Voice into his Earphone from behind.
It seems they have imprisoned everyone in the entire city inside...
Minato Namikaze's Heart sank. He only felt that if Combat occurred later, he must avoid causing too much Destruction to this High Tower.
However, the News that Queen Sara was unharmed was good News.
"How is it? Do we need to take away the Queen of Rōran?" Choza Akimichi asked in a low Voice to the seemingly empty space beside him.
"We can try."
Minato Namikaze replied in a low Voice after Thought. He also felt that since that Crocodile was not here, there shouldn't be anyone too Strong in Rōran.
And with his Means, taking people away wouldn't be difficult...
"However, our Mission is to gather more Intelligence. Taking her away now will definitely cause a stir."
"Hizashi-san, next, please go to the West Side of the High Tower with E-san, and then use the Byakugan to look deep Underground there. You should be able to find a Palace similar to an Altar."
Minato Namikaze always felt that both Crocodile's appearance and the Objective of this group were inseparable from the Dragon Veins here.
After all, that was the only thing of Value in Rōran.
"Understood."
Hizashi Hyuga was particularly obedient. Upon hearing the Order, he immediately rushed to the West City District cautiously with Inuzuka E, not daring to turn off his Byakugan for a moment.
"Choza-san, let's split into one in front and one behind again and climb to the highest floor of this High Tower. Once they see useful Intelligence over there, we'll make our move and take away the Queen of Rōran!"
Minato Namikaze briefly explained the next Operation.
"No problem!"
Choza Akimichi nodded heavily.
However, both were using the Invisibility Technique, so neither could see the other. They could only achieve Perception of the other's Position by their sharp hearing and close-range Chakra Signature.
Neither of them was a Sensory-type Ninja, and they were both suppressing their Aura with Consciousness, so they could only barely sense each other within a Distance of ten.
But this was enough.
Next was climbing the outer wall of the Central High Tower. This kind of thing was completely a basic operation for them.
The convenience of Chakra was once again reflected.
"We're here..."
After a long time, Minato Namikaze finally climbed to the window on the highest floor and saw Sara, who had stood Up from the Throne at some point and was Speaking to a Women in a black dress with purple hair.
That Back View with long reddish-brown hair actually reminded him of his wife at home.
This made Minato Namikaze even more determined to rescue Sara's Heart.
"To be able to infiltrate here, you Ninja do have some Ability/Skill. However, you came at just the right time..."
But at this moment, an indifferent Voice with a hint of mockery abruptly came from inside, which startled Minato Namikaze.
He was discovered!
Minato Namikaze's Reaction speed was incredibly fast.
Almost the moment he heard the first word, he had already made a backward dodging movement. At the same time, a flash of bright Blade Light smoothly cut through the High Tower outer wall he had just been lying on.
At this instant.
The Sharpness edge of the Vacuum Blade and Minato Namikaze's nose tip, as he jumped backward, were less than two centimeters apart. The light blue Blade Light could even be reflected on his handsome face.
[Swish!]
However, Minato Namikaze disappeared into thin air, while the crescent-shaped Blade Light continued flying towards the High Altitude in the distance.
But this also caused his Invisibility Technique to fail, and he appeared beside Choza Akimichi, who was still lying on the High Tower wall below.
"Phew, is it finally time to Combat? Not bad, it's been a bit uncomfortable holding back..."
Seeing this, Choza Akimichi also let out a sigh of relief. He immediately used the Chakra on his feet to stand upright on the wall surface.
He looked up with Minato Namikaze beside him at the Figure whose upper body emerged from the cut in the wall on the top floor.
It was a man with long silver-white hair and a cold and stern demeanor, holding a slightly curved Long Saber with a Blade flashing with Cold Light in his hand.
"Samurai?!"
Choza Akimichi said in surprise.
"Die!"
The man said nothing unnecessary. The next second after his eyes met Minato Namikaze's, he dove down at high Speed without hesitation, turning into an Afterimage...
(End of this chapter)
# Rasengan!
"Partial Expansion Jutsu: Super Open Hand!"
Before Minato Namikaze could make a move, Choza Akimichi was the first to unleash his Ninjutsu.
At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Minato, you do what you need to do!"
He had worked with Minato Namikaze many times and clearly understood what he should do at this moment.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you!"
Minato Namikaze completely ignored the Black-Clad Swordsman who was about to charge at him.
He calmly nodded to Choza Akimichi.
Meanwhile.
Choza Akimichi's Gigantified right arm and palm, pressing down with visible thick Wind Pressure, slammed forward.
"Then let's test your Means!"
Gozuchi narrowed his sharp eyes.
His entire Body was shrouded in a layer of Air Current formed by his extreme Speed.
His 'Imperial Arm: Kiriichimonji', under the enhancement of the Swordsman Realm, instantly transformed into an even brighter Blade Light and slashed out.
The next moment.
The sharp Blade Light and the thick palm pressure collided with a 'Roar' and a Loud Noise.
The Air within exploded as if subjected to immense pressure.
A Lap of white mist-like Ripple Air Current spread out, simultaneously cracking the outer Wall of the nearby High Tower.
Just as Choza Akimichi and Gozuchi engaged in their first exchange, Minato Namikaze vanished without a trace once again.
This caused Gozuchi, who was already within arm's reach, to narrow his Pupils.
Because his Observation Haki had lost Minato Namikaze's Aura at that moment, and then in the next moment, he detected the Aura appearing again...
At the Position he had just been standing!
Minato Namikaze leaped through a cut in the outer Wall and entered the Top Floor Hall. On the Wall to his right behind him, beside the Window, a string of black Technique Formulas could be seen, having appeared at some point.
It turned out.
As soon as he reached the Window earlier, he had casually placed a Flying Thunder God Technique Formula there, not expecting to use it so soon.
"You... you are Konoha's..."
Queen Sara covered her mouth in shock, staring at Minato Namikaze and the symbol on his Headband.
And she immediately recalled Mako, Salai, and the other Citizens who had mentioned the blond, blue-eyed Konoha Ninja who defeated Minister Anrokuzan and saved everyone!
It must be him.
Sara felt that this person was the Hero from her Dream, but in the Dream, he didn't seem this tall?
"Hmm?"
Minato Namikaze felt very surprised when he noticed Sara's strange Gaze. Did she recognize him? That's impossible, he had clearly sealed her Memory.
But now was not the time for Speaking.
Because inside this Main Hall, besides Sara, there were two Women with beautiful Faces and Graceful Figures, both with purple hair, one long and one short, one wearing Glasses and one not, dressed in Black Suits.
Besides them were twelve obviously Henchmen, strong-bodied Men in Black with cold demeanors.
The next moment.
Two of the Cipher Pol No. 8 Men in Black skillfully used 'Shave', appearing before Minato Namikaze at a Speed invisible to the naked eye.
"Finger Pistol!"
"Leg Kick!"
One used a Six Powers Technique, the other used a Red Leg Kick Technique. One thrust at Minato Namikaze's Adam's Apple, the other fiercely kicked his Right Hand.
[Bang!]
Their attacks seemed to hit and be effective, but the Touch Sensation was a bit strange, too hard, not like a Human Body. Intelligence about Ninjutsu immediately surfaced in their minds.
Substitution Jutsu!
Indeed, as White Smoke emerged, a Log appeared, splintered by the Finger Pistol and Kicking Technique attacks, while Minato Namikaze had already used his Body Flicker Technique to move to the Power Ceiling inside.
He wasn't someone who only relied on Flying Thunder God.
Even normal Body Flicker Technique was enough to leave most Ninja far behind.
Minato Namikaze stood upside down on the Power Ceiling of the Main Hall.
With a clear Gaze, he quickly scanned the two purple-haired Women who had moved to Sara's side and formed an Escort Formation, as well as the six Men in Black around them and the movements of the other six Men in Black who were attacking him.
[Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...]
The next second, he suddenly pulled out over a dozen special Kunai and threw them.
These special Kunai, affixed with Flying Thunder God Technique Formulas, seemed like Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers but flew accurately towards everyone present except Sara, and their Speed was so fast they left Afterimages.
However, the Men in Black here were not easy opponents either.
Although they had not yet awakened their Haki, their Martial Arts were very refined, truly Elite.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to join Cipher Pol No. 8, which had to carry out dangerous Missions in Otherworlds.
Some of them used Paper Arts to dodge the Kunai, some drew the Short Swords from their backs and knocked down the Kunai, and some swept the Kunai away with a Leg Wind.
Of course, some also stood still and used Iron Body to block...
[Clang!]
And surprisingly, they blocked it. The only thing was that a hole was poked through their Black Suit.
But the next second, Minato Namikaze vanished again under everyone's watchful eyes, and then, without any Whistling Sound, appeared like a Demon behind the Man in Black who had used Iron Body.
In the blink of an eye.
Just as the people nearby faintly heard a brief cutting sound, Minato Namikaze's figure vanished again, simultaneously appearing beside the Man in Black who had just dodged the Kunai using Paper Arts.
This time, someone finally saw that the Kunai tightly held in Minato Namikaze's hand was wrapped in a layer of intensely flowing, incredibly sharp light green Energy.
"Ugh ah----"
Meanwhile, the Man in Black who had used Iron Body earlier was clutching his Throat, which had been cleanly cut open and was gushing Blood, and fell to the ground with a Face full of Suffering.
Such a large gash, even Breathing Style couldn't stop the bleeding.
How... how is this possible?
On the verge of death, his Heart was filled with Doubt. He was clearly in Iron Body state, how could he be injured by a bladed weapon?
Well.
Because Minato Namikaze's Speed was too fast, and he had his back turned, he didn't see the Kunai was infused with Wind Release Chakra.
Konohagakure had already understood most of the effects of the basic Six Powers Technique through those Cloud Hidden Ninja.
And even without Intelligence, the performance of taking the Kunai head-on without suffering any damage just now was enough for Minato Namikaze to realize that his Body Toughness was very high.
So he didn't even try attacking with a normal Kunai, but directly used the Nature Transformation of Wind Release Chakra, which had stronger cutting Power.
Without Accident.
Even Iron Body, or rather, his level of Iron Body, was still easily killed by Minato Namikaze.
Then.
The next one killed was the person who used Paper Arts, and the one after that was the person who blocked the Kunai with a Short Sword.
The entire process was like the thrown Kunai were still flying in Mid-air, but Minato Namikaze was constantly Teleporting again and again, almost wiping out these six charging CP8 Members in the blink of an eye.
[Bang!]
Just then, a gunshot rang out. Before the sound dissipated, the second and third shots continuously followed, bullets bursting out one after another from the fiery Muzzles.
The Momentum actually somewhat suppressed the Commotion outside between Choza Akimichi and Gozuchi.
"It's the short purple-haired Woman!"
Minato Namikaze glanced out of the corner of his eye, then flashed back to dodge.
But he was immediately surprised to find that some bullets curved from both the left and right sides to flank him, and some bullets ricocheted off the Wall or pillars behind him towards his back after hitting them.
Bullets from Firearms could do such a Matter?
"But it's useless."
Flying Thunder God reappeared, and Minato Namikaze was like a flickering Yellow Flash.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Sara and the two purple-haired Women, simultaneously reaching out to pat Sara's Shoulder.
But Sara was pulled back in time by the long-haired, Glasses-wearing purple-haired Woman, who simultaneously held a pair of extra-large Scissors in both hands and thrust them forward.
"Did her Reaction keep up with my Speed, or did she predict it in advance?"
Minato Namikaze's reflexes and thought Speed, almost like a Monster.
Even at this critical moment, he even had the leisure to think about such a Matter.
And it didn't delay him at all from condensing a rapidly spinning blue glowing Energy Sphere in his left hand...
"Rasengan!"
Chapter 843: What's Going On!
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Just as Minato Namikaze and Choji Akimichi were discovered by Gozuchi's Observation Haki, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle centered around Queen Sara.
Hizashi Hyuga and Gaku Inuzuka also arrived at Rōran's West City District, aided by the Invisibility Technique.
Perhaps because the commotion near the Central High Tower was too great, attracting most people's attention, their journey there was relatively smooth and uneventful.
Until they noticed more and more Soldiers and Man in Black guarding the area, they decisively stopped and found a Building to hide behind.
"Byakugan!"
Hizashi Hyuga immediately used his Bloodline Limit.
The bulging veins around his Eyes and his almost entirely white pupils made his originally handsome Face appear extremely fierce.
His Line of Sight first swept across the Base heavily guarded by troops ahead.
Finding nothing noteworthy except the large number of people, following Minato Namikaze's directions, he slowly looked underground.
"No way..."
A massive cylindrical Domain leading directly underground, wide and long Stairs spiraling down along the Wall, figures in various uniforms coming and going on the Stairs.
In the Center, there were also two Elevator Cables and massive Elevator Cars, whether they had always been there or were recently constructed was unknown.
They moved up and down, left and right, constantly transporting large and small Boxes between the Ground and the Underground, which were then carried by the Black-Clad Soldiers to different Buildings or Trucks.
The entire process was so orderly it gave Hizashi Hyuga a strong sense of oppression.
"That is..."
His Gaze finally saw the Underground Palace that Minato Namikaze had mentioned.
The Environment here had changed significantly compared to the beginning.
The two temporary Stone Bridges that were originally built in the air had become a half-fan-shaped Stone Slab Ground, meaning the usable area had become much wider.
There was also space to erect Small Buildings for the Den Den Mushi Network Relay Station and the Biochemical Safety Station.
The other half of the fan shape was still a terrifying Dark Abyss.
A team of flying Personnel had previously been dispatched with 'light cups' for Detection below, but they found it was truly bottomless.
The Scout Team didn't see the bottom even after flying down for nearly an hour, and they couldn't hear any echo when throwing things down from that Position.
This made them dare not continue, and they quickly returned while they still had Stamina.
And in the Center of the two was the Altar, with four Statues resembling figures in Black Robes and hoods standing at the four corners, and in the Center, naturally, was the Small Stargate emitting a faint Radiance from its outline.
"What exactly is this Situation?"
Hizashi Hyuga was somewhat bewildered by what he saw and mumbled to himself subconsciously. Inuzuka E, who was beside him, heard this and asked in a low voice filled with Doubt, "What did you see?"
"Well, there is indeed an Altar and a Palace underground. I also saw a glowing gate... Huh?!"
Just as Hizashi Hyuga was about to say something, he suddenly saw an extremely tall in Body Size and extremely muscular in Physique long-haired man wearing a Coat over his shoulders walk out from the Light Gate.
This made him instantly realize that it really was The Gate, so could it be that these people are all...
But just as this Speculation arose in his Heart.
He saw the 'Giant' who had just walked out of the Light Gate laugh twice, then suddenly turn his head and stare intently at him!
Yes.
In Hizashi Hyuga's Sense of Sight, the other party was indeed looking directly at him.
This made his Heart pound, while also making him wonder if it was a delusion, perhaps the other party was looking at someone else nearby?
His current Position was about three hundred meters away from the Base on the Ground in the Distance, and even further, separated by over two hundred meters of Geological Layer from the Underground Palace. How could he possibly be looking at him!
Unless the other party also possessed X-ray Vision and Far Sight abilities similar to the Byakugan...
"Phew—it was a delusion after all."
When that person actively shifted his Line of Sight and walked with an Un hurried pace towards the spiral Stairs, Hizashi Hyuga immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't realize that his forehead and back were already sweating.
"Mr. E, we can go now. After meeting up with Captain Minato and the others, it's best to leave here as soon as possible!"
Hizashi Hyuga still felt a chill in his Heart, the other party's 'looking' Gaze kept replaying in his mind.
He didn't know if it was a delusion.
He always felt that in the man's eyes first showed surprise, followed by a hint of playfulness. In any case, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
He had seen enough Intelligence!
At the same time.
Choza Akimichi and Gozuchi fought as they moved, having fallen back to the Plaza below the Central High Tower, because he also didn't want the Combat to affect the Rōran Civilians inside the tower.
Gozuchi originally didn't want to get entangled with Choza Akimichi.
But who knew that the other party was very skilled at entanglement and obstruction, and various Body Expansion Ninjutsu combined with powerful Wind Pressure had a very large range of Destruction and Power.
This made him realize that he had underestimated the Ninja of This World!
"Human Bullet Tank!!"
Pale blue Chakra surged from Choza Akimichi's Body. As he leaped into the air, his Body first underwent Gigantification, then rolled into a giant Meat Ball spinning at high Speed.
"This Technique again..."
Gozuchi watched the Human Bullet Tank, carrying surging Qi Energy, rush down and quickly dodged with a flash of his Body.
However, after the Human Bullet Tank smashed the Stone Slab on the Ground, it made an Acceleration turn and continued to attack him with great Aura.
He had previously used Slash several times against the other party.
But he found that although this Technique of the other party looked like Pure physical rotation, there was actually a layer of strong Wind Pressure and pale blue Chakra Energy providing Protection to the Body Surface.
Therefore, Pure Blade Light had little Effect, only the Blade attached with Armament Haki could break through a certain degree of Defense.
"This Pig is really annoying enough!"
Gozuchi, who already had a stern demeanor, continuously dodged using Observation Haki and High-Speed Movement, while inwardly cursing with an even colder Expression.
It wasn't that he hadn't tried flying using Moonwalk.
But Choza Akimichi would either chase him by stepping on the outer Wall of the High Tower, or Manifestation into a Human Bullet Tank and roll up along the outer Wall, then leap up and force him back to the Ground using various Partial Expansion Jutsu.
Gozuchi truly didn't expect that a guy with such a large Body Size could have such swift movements and Techniques.
What he didn't know was.
Choza Akimichi was also in a difficult situation and felt very uncomfortable.
"Hiss hiss hiss, it hurts so much. What's going on with this guy's Blade? Why won't the Wounds heal? I've already treated them with Yang Release Chakra..."
Choza Akimichi, who had returned to Human Form from his Human Bullet Tank state, stared intently at Gozuchi opposite him, but inwardly cried out in pain over the several Bloody Wounds on his Body.
The Blade in Gozuchi's hand, which had somehow become stained black, seemed to possess great Sharpness to him.
Although there was no Wind Release Chakra attached, it could always break through the Wind Pressure and Chakra he used to enhance Power and provide Protection to his Body, leaving Wounds on him.
Also, he didn't know if some Poison had been applied to the Blade?
It could actually slow down the healing Effect of Yang Release Chakra on Wounds!
Although it was still making a little Recovery, the Speed was too slow! The Blood kept flowing out, making him look quite disheveled and covered in Blood.
Choza Akimichi was certain that without Yang Release Chakra, even using Stop Bleeding Medicine, it would likely have little Effect.
Besides that.
The other party was as agile as a mosquito, slightly faster than him in terms of Speed, could also Sky Walk, and had strong evasion Ability in Perception.
Basically, it was difficult for his Ninjutsu to fully hit the other party.
Unless he used his full Strength, but it didn't seem necessary yet...
"Minato, Minato, you need to hurry. I don't think I can stop him for too long."
Choza Akimichi glanced at the top floor of the Central High Tower with a heavy Heart, then swept his Gaze over the teams of Gun-wielding Soldiers and Man in Black approaching from all directions.
Only 23 Monthly Passes left to reach 1000. Which Big Brother (Term of Address) still has Monthly Passes? Please, please, give them to me~~~ (Bow Bow!)
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 844: That's Enough!
[Rat-a-tat-a-tat]
As the nearest Army Patrol arrived, they quickly dispersed into a three-front, four-back Tactical Shooting Formation, while the Heavy Assault Rifles in their hands began firing fiercely at Choza Akimichi.
"Get lost!"
Choza Akimichi used his Partial Expansion-enlarged giant Right Hand to forcibly grab a large Stone Slab from the Ground. While blocking the Bullets for himself, he also directly flung it over.
Normally, with such immense Power throwing this large Stone Slab, those seven Army Main Combat Soldiers should have been unavoidable from being smashed and sent flying—either dying on the spot or being critically injured and near death.
This was what Choza Akimichi had anticipated in his Heart the moment he threw it.
But just as his Line of Sight was about to retract, the scene he caught in his peripheral vision made him freeze for a moment.
He saw one Army Main Combat Soldier in the front row center, without hesitation, put down the Heavy Automatic Rifle in his hand and quickly draw the Long Saber from his back.
At the same time, he let out a loud shout completely devoid of Fear: "Wind Breathing, Second Form, Claw-Paw: Koto Wind!"
In an instant, four claw-shaped green Energy Blades appeared out of thin Air, slicing the large Stone Slab, which was two meters in Diameter and nearly ten centimeters thick, into pieces.
"This..." Choza Akimichi was greatly shocked in his Heart. What kind of Soldiers are these? How does their Swordsmanship look no less inferior to those Armored Samurai from the Land of Iron?
Looking at the large number of Soldiers throughout the City, if each of them possessed this Weapons and Equipment and this level of Swordsmanship Strength, just thinking about it made his Hair stand on end.
"Hey, I didn't tell you to leave!" At this moment, Choza Akimichi noticed Gozuchi was about to run upwards using Moonwalk, and immediately shouted urgently.
At the same time, he once again used Partial Expansion Jutsu, making his already large Right Hand even more enormous, and slapped towards the opponent, preparing to obstruct him again.
But this time, Gozuchi didn't even look at him and continued flying upwards by stepping on Air.
"The Army has arrived. Let them play with you, this big fat Pig, next!" The next second after this mocking cold laugh echoed In the Court, another enthusiastic and high-spirited shout appeared, accompanied by blazing Hikari.
"Flame Breathing, First Form, Unknowing Fire!" A Fire Pillar rapidly sweeping horizontally arrived in time behind Gozuchi, blocking the giant Palm carrying surging Wind Pressure.
[Bang!]
However, the Power of this Flame was clearly not that great. It basically just took the hit and was immediately dispersed after less than two seconds.
"Hmm?"
"This Flame is a Phantasm! It has no temperature at all!"
Feeling the tactile feedback, Choza Akimichi immediately recalled that the Intelligence given by the Village did mention that those who called themselves Sea Ninja used a Swordsmanship that came with Elemental Illusions.
Regardless, his Palm strike was blocked.
But Choza Akimichi didn't have time to chase now, because the Army Main Combat Soldiers arriving one after another were constantly firing and Shooting at him from a distance.
So he could only use High-Speed Movement to first dodge the Bullet Rain that was relentlessly pursuing him.
During this process, Choza Akimichi clearly saw the appearance of the person who had just blocked his Palm.
It was a man with Flame-like long Hair, wearing a Black Military Uniform, and a Black Coat draped over his shoulders. The Long Saber tightly held in his hand clearly showed streaks of vibrant Crimson Pattern.
However, the other party had just gotten up from the Ground and was covered in Dust, so he looked a bit disheveled.
But the cheerful Smile on his face and his bright, fiery yellow Gaze made people feel Favor towards him, even though they were on opposing Stances.
"Damn it, no matter who you are, I'm angry now!"
"Partial Expansion Jutsu!" Choza Akimichi was full of displeasure. This time, he didn't expand just a part, but his entire Body, which caused his Body to rise visibly at a rapid Speed.
In the blink of an eye, he became a red-haired Giant about thirty meters tall, roughly half the height of the Central High Tower.
During this process, Large Caliber Bullets hitting the Armor on his Body were either flattened and fell to the Ground or bounced off elsewhere, as if they had hit Steel Plate.
Because Partial Expansion Jutsu enlarges the Body and Clothing together, the Skin and Muscle not only become tougher, but the Armor also becomes thicker and harder. Coupled with Chakra protection, these Firearms could hardly have any Effect anymore.
[Roar!]
The next moment, as Choza Akimichi's giant Palm suddenly swept to the right, it immediately stirred up a fierce Gale, sending a group of Army Main Combat Soldiers flying.
In this Situation, these Soldiers had no Method and could only die tragically in this Otherworld.
[Bang!]
Choza Akimichi's giant foot lifted and fell, and another Zone was completely smashed. The fierce Qi Energy rolled up Smoke and Dust, forming a Shockwave that spread in all directions.
Without Accident, another large group of Army Main Combat Soldiers fell.
Looking down from High Altitude, one could see a red-haired Armored Giant rioting and rampaging in a City filled with Spire and crisscrossing Sky Bridge. Every movement caused great Destruction to the Ground and nearby Building.
"Stop quickly, you're already threatening the Citizens inside the Tower!" Just then, a somewhat Familiarize loud shout rang out. Choza Akimichi saw another ball of blazing Flame spreading up his leg.
"Flame Breathing, Fifth Form, Flame Tiger!" In the blink of an eye, that large ball of Fire formed a Flame Tiger full of Aura along the way.
"You kidnapped them and occupied their Nation, yet you can still say such shameless words?"
"Get lost!!!" Choza Akimichi was furious. He usually had a very good Personality, but even he was provoked into Anger by the other party's utterly shameless words.
He immediately took a quick breath, then forcefully blew out towards the fiercely pouncing 'Flame Tiger'.
[Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh----]
The Effect of his single breath was actually no less than the Wind Release used by some Jonin.
The surging High-Pressure Wind quickly blew away the Flame on the 'Flame Tiger', revealing the Figure of Kyojuro Rengoku who was struggling to resist inside.
In the end, he couldn't hold on and was directly blown towards High Altitude by the Gale, then fell towards the distance out of Line of Sight.
"Choza-san, we're back!" "Chamaru, come out!" Just then, Choza Akimichi heard Gaku Inuzuka's shout from afar. His Gaze swept over and he indeed saw Hizashi Hyuga, who was no longer maintaining Invisibility.
The next second, a Desert Lizard jumped out of Gaku Inuzuka's jacket pocket, then transformed back into a Large Dog with light yellow Hair in a puff of White Smoke.
"Beast Human Clone!"
"Fang Over Fang!" In the blink of an eye, Chamaru first transformed into Gaku Inuzuka's appearance, then spun his Body at High-Speed together with him.
Forming two horizontal gray conical tops that charged through the group of Army Main Combat Soldiers who had discarded their Guns for Blades and the CP8 Members using Six Powers.
For a Time, no one could stop them.
"Rotation!" On the other side, Hizashi Hyuga faced the four or five Man in Black surrounding him and the twenty-odd Army Main Combat Soldiers firing their Guns.
He immediately released a bowl-shaped blue Energy Mass on the spot, deflecting all the Bullets, as well as attacks like Flying Finger Pistol, Tempest Kick, and Slash, while also blasting everyone within the range away amidst Screams.
"Remember, I am a Jonin of Konoha's prestigious Hyuga Clan!"
Hizashi Hyuga maintained the starting stance of Gentle Fist. His Gaze looked very firm, and his voice was also powerful and resonant.
"Oh, so you're from the Hyuga Clan. No wonder~" But the next second, as this teasing voice sounded in his ear, Hizashi Hyuga's Expression suddenly changed drastically.
"But you guys have made enough noise. Especially you, come with me, la ha ha ha ha~~"
(End of Chapter)
**Chapter 845: Doggy Spins in a Circle!**
"Who's there?!"
Hizashi Hyuga's heart jumped. He instinctively swept his Byakugan around the area he had temporarily cleared with Rotation, but he didn't see anyone worth noting.
Underground!
The Jonin's reaction speed and Combat Experience allowed his Body to perform the Body Flicker Technique the instant the thought crossed his mind.
But he was fast, and some things were even faster.
Streaks of Afterimage, quick as Lightning, shot out from the Ground beneath Hizashi Hyuga's feet, tightly wrapping around his left leg, which was already about three centimeters off the Ground.
"This is..."
His Body Flicker Technique was intercepted. Hizashi Hyuga quickly lowered his head to look, shocked to find that what was binding his left leg was a thick Tree Branch with fresh Green Leaves!
What was this?
But more Tree Branches emerged from the Ground, looking like Pythons. This immediately stopped him from thinking further, causing Chakra to once again surge out from every Chakra Point on his Body.
"Rotation!"
The surging Chakra Energy rapidly spun at high speed, tearing apart all the Tree Branches wrapped around his leg and those extending towards him.
At this moment.
Hizashi Hyuga was ready to immediately leap up as soon as the Rotation ended and temporarily escape from this place.
"An interesting Technique, but in the face of Absolute Strength..."
"Mudadada!" (Useless!)
Suddenly, that extremely arrogant shout reappeared.
At the same time, two rapidly growing thick Tree Trunks shot up from the Ground on either side of his bowl-shaped blue Energy Mass.
[Bang————]
These two Tree Trunks, covered in many lush Branches and Leaves, quickly formed giant Wood Palms and clapped together in the middle.
The entire Rotation burst open like a Balloon on the spot, and the surging blue Chakra Air Current frantically leaked out from between the fingers of the Wood Palms.
"Uh ah..."
Clamped between the two Palms, Hizashi Hyuga spat out Blood, clearly severely injured. However, his pale eyes were filled with disbelief.
His Rotation was actually shattered so easily?!
"How... how is this possible? This, this is Absolute, Absolute Defense..."
As the Wood Palms opened to the sides, Hizashi Hyuga collapsed weakly onto the Ground.
Yet, he continued to murmur the doubt in his Heart, his Line of Sight falling upon a pair of brightly polished black Leather Boots appearing before him.
He no longer had the Strength to look up at the other person.
However, the image of the Man he had seen in the Underground Palace with his Byakugan earlier flashed in Hizashi Hyuga's mind.
Was it him?
So he had already discovered it back then... But what exactly is this Wood Release... At this point, Hizashi Hyuga's Consciousness finally sank into Darkness.
Yes, he had fainted.
"Hizashi-san!!!"
Gaku Inuzuka and Choza Akimichi, who were facing the encirclement of a group of Army Main Combat Soldiers and Men in Black from CP8 in the distance, saw this scene and their eyes were about to split, their faces filled with shock and Anger.
At the same time, their Line of Sight focused on the tall Man standing beside Hizashi Hyuga.
This was Aramaki, the current Army Headquarters Vice Admiral who had just arrived in this Ninja World, a Logia System Mori Mori no Mi Ability User!
"I never expected to encounter something like this the moment I stepped out. Lahahahaha, it seems Fate is also helping me! The position of Army General will definitely be mine! Lahahahaha~~"
Aramaki laughed wildly towards the sky on this chaotic and clamorous Battlefield, completely unrestrained.
"Damn it!"
However, his arrogant Posture completely enraged Gaku Inuzuka, who immediately called out to the nearby Chamaru and charged towards Aramaki.
"Chamaru, Double-Headed Wolf!"
"Woof!"
Chamaru immediately responded, pouncing to Gaku Inuzuka's side and performing the Inuzuka Clan's Secret Technique with him.
Inuzuka Style: Human Beast Transformation - Double-Headed Wolf.
[Bang————]
As a large mass of White Smoke burst open, a giant Double-Headed Yellow-haired Dog, seven or eight meters tall, opened its Gaping Maw and pounced towards Aramaki's location.
It completely ignored the various Large Caliber Bullets hitting its Body, its fierce eyes filled with the reflection of Aramaki's cold, smiling face.
"Die! Fang Wolf Fang!"
As Gaku Inuzuka roared in his Heart, in reality, this giant **Two-Headed Dog** immediately leaped up and formed a yellow Dragon Twister, several times more intense than the previous Fang Over Fang.
This was the Inuzuka Clan's Secret Technique!
Just the outermost Qi Energy was enough to slice a Human Body into several pieces. It was a top-tier assault Ninjutsu among the many Secret Techniques of Konoha's Ninja Villages.
Hizashi Hyuga's Rotation from just now would have been absolutely unable to defend against this Technique.
Clearly.
Gaku Inuzuka, in his extreme Anger, had not completely lost his Rationality. Seeing Aramaki defeat Hizashi Hyuga, who was using Rotation, with a single move, he understood that the opponent's Strength must be extremely powerful.
So he immediately used his ultimate move!
"Oh, the little Doggy with two heads is spinning in a circle. This Performance is very interesting~"
Aramaki stood rooted to the spot, showing no intention of dodging. However, his right Arm rapidly swelled after Element Transformation into the material of Trees.
It looked very similar to the Partial Expansion Jutsu that Choza Akimichi had used earlier.
[Buzz————]
The right Arm, originally the color of Trees, suddenly became covered in a layer of Black Luster. As the Sunlight shone upon it from overhead, it immediately gleamed with a Metal-like luster.
The next second.
This thick and massive black Arm and Fist shot out like a Cannonball from a Gun, meeting the incoming yellow Dragon Twister.
[Roar!!]
The terrifying Fist Force, wrapped in a dense Air Current, violently shook the surrounding Air. The Air, suddenly pushed aside, let out a screaming Rumble, colliding fiercely with the nearly upon him Fang Wolf Fang.
The Air had completely exploded.
Large amounts of cloud-like white Air Current vented out in all directions.
The yellow Dragon Twister, under the irresistible terrifying Strength, only lasted for four or five seconds before bursting open on the spot.
The **Two-Headed Dog** formed by the Combine of Gaku Inuzuka and Chamaru flew backward under the gaze of everyone, pressed by the Sonic Boom Mist forming behind it.
Before it even landed, it transformed back into one Human and one Dog in Mid-air with the appearance of White Smoke, crashing directly towards a tall Spire behind them amidst spurting Blood.
If they hit that, they would likely die?
Fortunately, Choza Akimichi, in his Giant Form, quickly used his giant Palm to catch them, while simultaneously looking in shock at Aramaki, who was restoring his right Arm to its original state.
"Hey, what are you looking at? You're next! Lahahahaha, you're all mine!" After saying that, Aramaki shouted loudly towards the surrounding Army and CP8: "You're too noisy! Just watch from the side!"
"..."
The people on the Army side naturally stopped their attacks obediently, after all, Aramaki was an Admiral.
Meanwhile, the Members of CP8 exchanged glances, completely ignoring Aramaki's Order, and continued to attack Choza Akimichi and Gaku Inuzuka.
Because they were not from the same System at all.
Besides.
If they took down Gaku Inuzuka while he was severely injured, they would definitely get a share of the Merit!
"Ahhhhhhh, damn it, damn it! They are mine————"
Seeing this, Aramaki flew into a rage. His arms transformed into thick Tree Trunks and plunged into the broken Ground, immediately activating his Mori Mori no Mi Ability again.
And this time, he was serious.
"Forest of Hatred!"
[Bang bang bang bang...]
Thick Tree Trunks continuously emerged from the Earth of the entire Plaza near the Central High Tower.
They frantically wrapped around Choza Akimichi, who was ten meters taller than the Sea Star Giant Tribe, and the CP8 Members who had leaped into the Air to attack.
However.
Choza Akimichi, who was half the height of the Central High Tower, instantly disappeared without a trace right before Aramaki's eyes.
"What?!"
But before Aramaki could react, a yellow Flash suddenly appeared beside Gaku Inuzuka and Chamaru, who were in Freefall towards the Ground because they had lost the support of the Palm...
Then.
They disappeared together!
