"Who is this person?!"
The sudden sword aura had instantly interrupted the momentum of the four elite jonin from the Hidden Stone Village. And this brilliant yet sharp slash had torn the entire sky in two, even sweeping away the combination ninjutsu on the battlefield.
Powerful. Terrifying. Unparalleled.
Such immense power and astonishing range... if it wasn't an S-rank ninjutsu, then what was it? For a man who could unleash a slash comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu, and on the Konoha side no less... there was only one answer.
That man... he had arrived.
"This is bad. That monster from Konoha is here."
At this moment, Hokaku of the Land of Earth and his three teammates looked at each other, their faces filled with gravity. Originally, the Hidden Stone Village had the absolute advantage on the battlefield. Whether it was at the jonin or chunin level, their numbers were in the absolute lead. Konoha was no match at all. After all, as long as they could prevent this green beast before them from opening the final gate of the Eight Gates, they, the Hidden Stone Village, were destined to win.
However, the arrival of Hatake Kusuo had forcefully broken this situation.
"Great! Kusuo, I'll leave the main battlefield to you!" Guy's dynamic vision after opening the seventh gate was extraordinary. While others were still just guessing, he had already seen the true face of the newcomer. Instantly, Guy became excited. Without hesitation, he cupped his palms together and shouted, "Morning Peacock!"
He charged out rapidly. The pure white pupils under the Gate of Shock radiated an ultimate danger. Dozens of rapid punches, the friction with the air generating a large amount of flames, and he used this flame and shockwave to go straight for the four elite jonin.
"Not good! Retreat!" Hokaku of the Land of Earth and the others knew they couldn't take this move head-on. Their figures flashed, and they immediately shot backward.
The next second, Guy's figure appeared above them again. He pulled one fist back to his chest, ready to strike, his body tense like a crouching tiger.
"Daytime Tiger!"
BOOM!
A violent sound pierced their eardrums. A super-high-speed straight punch crushed everything, violently shattering the air in front of Guy, compressing it into a tangible air cannon, and then firing it out. Such a high-level taijutsu move... this scene made the four jonin from the Land of Earth's scalps tingle.
The speed and power... were simply not on the same level. How could a ninjutsu burst out so unreasonably?
"Earth Style! Earth-Style Rampart of the Imperial Court!"
"Earth Style! Super Hardening Technique!"
The four of them jointly cast one A-rank and one B-rank ninjutsu. In the sky, they created a dome that blotted out the sun. The thick and tough dome was enhanced by the Super Hardening Technique, and with the chakra support and joint casting of four elite jonin, it was indestructible.
RUMBLE!
A world-shaking impact. The white air cannon of the Daytime Tiger crashed head-on into it. The terrifying airflow swept through heaven and earth. After a violent shake, the great dome cracked, covered in a dense network of fissures.
But what made the four jonin from the Land of Earth breathe a sigh of relief was that by pouring out all their chakra, they had managed to defend against it. Since that was the case... they looked at each other and once again formed hand seals together.
"Earth Style! Super Hardening Technique!"
The four elite jonin reinforced the cracked rampart again, and the A-rank ninjutsu, Earth-Style Rampart of the Imperial Court, was once again intact. They... this time... relying on the tactic of hiding in a turtle shell, had successfully stalled Guy's advance.
"Little tricks," Kusuo said. He had already landed in the center of the battlefield, facing the thousands of troops of the Hidden Stone Village without any fear. He looked at the Iwa ninja, who were so fond of casting jutsu together, with a look of disdain.
Can a multitude of ants shake an elephant?
Clang!
He lightly swung the sword in his hand. A crack appeared in the sky, crackling like shattering ice crystals. The sword aura trembled slightly as it gathered momentum. It was as if... once it was unleashed... it would have the power to shake the nine heavens.
This one slash from Kusuo temporarily brought the originally bloody and tense atmosphere of the battlefield to a standstill. He, one person, had single-handedly held off an entire army.
The jonin and chunin of the Hidden Stone Village looked at him with shock and uncertainty. Their intelligence had information about Kusuo. But it was the same for every village; if your level wasn't high enough, you didn't know enough. They only knew that Kusuo's swordsmanship was terrifying, that he could even suppress a Tailed Beast and defeat a Kage-level powerhouse.
But so what? They had over a dozen jonin, several hundred chunin, and countless genin in their allied force. And in the lead was Lord Onoki Shio, who was deeply trusted by the Third Tsuchikage. These people... there was no reason they couldn't win.
Therefore, a cruel smile appeared on each of their faces, as if they were watching Kusuo swing his sword as if it were child's play.
SWISH!
The sword aura finally slashed out. Just in mid-air, the sharp aura made one's cheeks sting. This one slash covered half the battlefield. Almost all the Hidden Stone Village ninja were within the range of this sword.
But they were, after all, a ninja army that had seen blood on the battlefield. The Hidden Stone Village side immediately recovered from their brief palpitation, with not much fear on their faces. It was still that same thought. We have so many powerhouses, how could so many of us be afraid of a single boy?
A dozen jonin were the first to step forward. "Earth Style! Earth-Style Dome!"
Then, hundreds of chunin and even more genin followed. "Earth Style! Earth-Style Wall!"
Surging chakra, visible to the naked eye, poured from everyone's bodies into the rising earth wall and dome. The ninjutsu, cast in concert by so many ninja, had literally created an artificial city wall. A wall dozens of meters high and nearly ten meters thick stood as the first line of defense. Its thickness alone was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
The sword aura was brilliant, carrying a majestic momentum. It fearlessly slashed towards the Sand Village's defensive turtle shell.
DONG!
One slash. The earth wall was on the verge of collapse. The inertia from the powerful force made the entire earth tremble nonstop. This sudden earthquake made them slip, and they were further suppressed by the terrifying sword aura, falling to the ground.
"This..." One slash was almost enough to break through the combination ninjutsu of several hundred, even a thousand of us?! What kind of monster is this?
Onoki Shio saw this, and his eye also twitched. His heart had almost leaped out of his chest just now. He gritted his teeth. Word by word, he said, "Everyone, return to your positions! Reinforce the earth wall!"
With this one command, it was as if the Iwa ninja had been given a tranquilizer. They all scrambled up from the ground, their hands once again clapping together, restoring the nearly collapsing earth wall to its original state.
"Dammit! These bastards just hide in their turtle shell when they see Lord Kusuo coming!"
"What kind of Hidden Stone Village is this? They should just change their name to the Hidden Turtle Village!"
"Hahahaha! Well said! The Hidden Turtle Village!"
The Konoha ninja were watching with their scalps tingling, but a fire of anger was also welling up in their hearts. Their side had been suppressed for so long. Now, the situation had finally reversed. They saw Lord Kusuo, with one slash, forcing all the enemies on the Iwa side to bow their heads. However, this group of bastards didn't plan on attacking, instead starting to build a turtle shell to hide in.
"Like father, like son! Like mother, like daughter!"
"Your Hidden Turtle Village... are the women not up to par?"
The Konoha ninja erupted in laughter, preparing to use words to provoke the other side and create an opportunity for Lord Kusuo. But this group of Iwa ninja had felt that world-destroying sword aura. How could they dare to stick their heads out? Now, even if they were being cursed at, they could only cower.
They didn't dare to come out.
