IW: Chapter 132 - Bai Ye: "They blocked the first one, but what about the second?"
"Oh, you're finally here!"
Bai Ye stood with his arms crossed, his gaze disdainfully sweeping over the Allied Shinobi Forces led by Ōnoki and Ay.
Because the interests of the Daimyos were at stake, aside from Kirigakure and the two countries controlled by Orochimaru and Pain, every country with even a little military might sent their people to participate.
This was a clash between new and old orders. The Daimyos clearly understood that if Bai Ye won, there would be no Daimyos in this world. The beneficiaries would never allow themselves to be overthrown.
The lives they enjoyed were built upon the NinjaVillages and the people.
"This guy's eyes are exactly like that guy's from back then."
Ōnoki felt a slight displeasure in his heart. When he was young, he wasn't very strong and was humiliated by Uchiha Madara. Now, with the scene repeating itself, he secretly vowed to use this opportunity to overcome his inner demons.
He was no longer the same person he was back then!
"Let them fight. It'll be a good chance for me to pick up the scraps."
Orochimaru, hidden among the Allied Shinobi Forces, his eyes glinting, then turned his gaze towards Bai Ye on Konoha's side.
Ever since Itachi defeated him in the Akatsuki Organization, his obsession with the Sharingan had reached its peak. He originally intended to acquire a pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan. Although it was a pity not to have a Mangekyo, at least he would have a Sharingan.
But the outbreak of this Ninja World War directly changed Orochimaru's plans.
This was an opportunity to seize a Mangekyo.
He knew that Bai Ye had awakened the Mangekyo.
So, why not take advantage of this opportunity to get that Mangekyo?
Uchiha Itachi had directly fled when facing Bai Ye back then. If he had this body, then when he faced Uchiha Itachi again, he wouldn't be as pathetic as he was before.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but let out a sinister chuckle.
"This guy is the Hokage of Konoha, right? I heard he's only a teenager? Konoha is really going backwards if a teenager can become Hokage!"
Ay finished speaking, his gaze fixed on Bai Ye. Although he said that, Ay was not careless in his heart. He didn't believe that a Ninja capable of defeating Hiruzen Sarutobi was someone to be trifled with.
"What are you going to do?"
Jiraiya stood beside Bai Ye. Everyone had arrived, and the opposing side clearly had higher combat power.
Even if Bai Ye was strong, their side had fewer Ninja.
And while other small-scale battles might have compensated for the difference before, this time it probably wouldn't work.
In any case, Jiraiya was already prepared to cover their retreat later.
He couldn't see a way to win.
"You guys just watch from the back for now. I'll go test their strength!"
"You, alone?"
Jiraiya looked at Bai Ye with a strange expression. Just him, going alone?
There were many Kage-level experts over there. This guy wasn't thinking of fighting all of them, was he?
"Why don't you think about it again?"
Hyuga Hiashi also quickly advised. He admitted that Bai Ye had acted like a War God when fighting Hiruzen Sarutobi, but the current situation was different from back then.
Back then, Bai Ye was only facing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Root's Danzo. But here, there were Ninja from many Villages, and they wouldn't just stand by and watch.
"No need. You guys just watch when the time comes. If I can't hold them off, then you can just step in, right?"
Bai Ye waved his hand, rejecting their suggestion. What a joke, did he need a group attack to deal with a bunch of weaklings?
I want you to find Uchiha Madara!! Hurry up and call Uchiha Madara over!!
"Don't try to persuade him. I think we can watch first."
Shisui saw that the others still seemed to want to say something, so he quickly interrupted them.
Haven't these people figured it out yet?
He was about to show off!
Shisui had known Bai Ye for quite some time now. Through their interactions, he had a good grasp of what kind of person Bai Ye was. This guy seemed serious, but he was actually a bit repressed and showy deep down.
From his repeated rejections just now, Shisui could tell that this guy's refusal wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
If he let the others keep talking, Bai Ye could keep up his act. He wanted to interrupt Bai Ye's show-off.
He had the Mangekyo and could use Flying Thunder God, so there was no real danger. Therefore, they could completely follow Bai Ye's instructions.
If he was in danger, they could join the battle, which was also fine.
With Shisui's interruption, the others stopped speaking, and Bai Ye also seemed a bit dispirited. The feeling of holding back words for a long time was truly uncomfortable.
With a leap, he arrived in the middle of the battlefield. The KonohaNinja behind him didn't move, only watched him eagerly. After receiving Bai Ye's command, although they felt it was a bit off, they still complied.
On the other hand, the Allied Shinobi Forces, seeing Bai Ye jump out alone, began to wonder if there was some kind of trap.
"What are you afraid of? Just go for it!"
Ay finished speaking and was about to charge.
This guy wanted a true man's 1v1 battle, right?
Then he would face him!
"Raikage-sama, I think we can wait and see for now."
Samui stopped Ay's movement. At this moment, without understanding why Bai Ye was doing this, it was best not to act rashly.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Ay's face as he was stopped. The opponent had already issued a true man's 1v1 challenge. Although he hadn't spoken, Ay could feel it. Was this just going to be ignored?
"Heh heh, rushing into battle without even knowing the opponent's abilities? You might not even know how you died then."
Ōnoki sneered. The KumogakureNinja, from Genin to Kage, all seemed strong at their respective levels, but why were they all so brainless?
You don't even know the opponent's abilities, and you're just going to charge in? Do you really think you're invincible?
"If our alliance is just you mocking me and me mocking you, then I think this alliance is unnecessary."
Even with her good temper, Samui was infuriated by this old man.
From before until now, he had been subtly and overtly mocking them. Was this old man just a jerk?
If her strength wasn't insufficient, and given that they were currently in an alliance, she really wanted to beat him up.
She had never seen an old man with such a nasty mouth.
"Old man, say less. You can say whatever you want later."
Kitsuchi quickly played mediator. Ōnoki also stopped talking. After all, he was just being a bit of a jerk, not genuinely wanting to break the alliance with Kumogakure right now.
He was still waiting for these hot-headed KumogakureNinja to exert some effort so he could get the Land of Fire. If the alliance broke now, he would have nothing.
Moreover, after returning to the Land of Earth, the inevitable distrust between the Village and the country would arise. Bai Ye's strategy was very successful; at least, they all had a slight crack in their hearts.
A few verbal jabs were enough. Looking at the Ninja charging towards Bai Ye, even without orders, the Ninja knew that taking down Bai Ye at this moment would be a great achievement.
Although those at the front were mostly likely to become cannon fodder.
However, the Ninja behind had already charged, and they were at the front. Plus, most of those at the front were Jonin and elite Chunin, so they held a glimmer of hope.
With so many people, perhaps they could take down Bai Ye?
No matter how strong he was, he was still just one person, right?
"Hey, hey, hey, are you sending just a bunch of cannon fodder to deal with me?"
Bai Ye scratched his head in annoyance. He had originally wanted to finish the battle quickly, but instead, a bunch of cannon fodder showed up, which somewhat dampened his interest.
He put his hands together in front of his mouth to form a hand sign, then took a deep breath. A burst of flames directly erupted from his mouth: "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
"This is…!?"
"Are you kidding me? This is Fire Release!?"
"Water ReleaseNinja, go!"
Among the Allied Shinobi Forces, the Ninja in the front ranks were in a panic. The Fire Release was rushing towards them, and if they got any closer, they feared they would be incinerated without a trace.
The Water ReleaseNinja stood firm at the front, then water spewed from their mouths. Fire and water collided, and steam began to spread rapidly, then accumulated upwards.
"A bit interesting."
Bai Ye's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan peered through the steam. With a leap, he charged directly towards the Stone Ninja not far in front of him.
With every punch and kick, people were constantly sent flying wherever he went.
"That guy's Taijutsu is pretty strong too?"
As the steam dispersed, Ay watched as waves of Ninja were sent flying, then fell to the ground, unable to get up again. He felt a bit of shock in his heart.
Bai Ye's strength was that great?
Judging by the Chakra traces, those people were all dead. With just one punch, even Ninja hit by the recoil would also die?
"Don't get cocky here! Earth Release: Earth Spikes."
Seeing her Ninja being continuously slaughtered by Bai Ye, Kurotsuchi couldn't sit still. From the ground where Bai Ye stood, countless sharp stone pillars, like bamboo shoots, pierced upwards towards Bai Ye. The sudden force also lifted Bai Ye from the ground.
Bai Ye leaped backward, glanced at Kurotsuchi, and brushed the dust off himself, saying, "Is that all?"
"Don't underestimate me!"
Kurotsuchi flew into the air using the Light-Weight Rock Jutsu. Bai Ye looked up at her, but unfortunately, she wasn't wearing a qipao.
"Kurotsuchi, don't be reckless!"
Ōnoki wanted to stop her, but Kurotsuchi had already flown out. Seeing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Ay's face: "Looks like you Iwa Ninja have your own hotheads too!"
Didn't you keep calling us KumogakureNinja hotheads earlier?
Look at your granddaughter, Ōnoki. Isn't she the same?
"Old man, I'll go grab Kurotsuchi back!"
Kitsuchi said, about to go, but was immediately stopped by Ōnoki.
At this moment, Kurotsuchi couldn't come back. Returning before even fighting would only affect their morale.
After Bai Ye's earlier assault, many Ninja were already a bit scared. If Kurotsuchi came back without fighting, what would the other Ninja think?
Moreover, in Ōnoki's opinion, if she was flying in the air, Bai Ye shouldn't be able to hit her. And even if there was danger, he could quickly go to support her, so for now, he could let Kurotsuchi try.
If Bai Ye couldn't deal with aerial targets, then the rest of the battle would be much easier.
"But…"
"She's not being reckless. Just wait and see!"
Ōnoki saw Kurotsuchi fly to a relatively safe position, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. Although rushing out to fight Bai Ye at this moment was a bit reckless, knowing to protect herself and maintain a safe distance from Bai Ye, she was actually quite good already.
And Kurotsuchi clearly had no intention of directly clashing with Bai Ye. Flying to a relatively high position in the air, she didn't believe Bai Ye's Ninjutsu could reach her there.
"Ōnoki's granddaughter, huh? You don't look like your grandfather. Are you really your grandfather's biological granddaughter?"
Ōnoki, that old man, and Kitsuchi, that rough man, produced Kurotsuchi, such an elegant woman.
Was the mother's genetics too strong?
"This guy…"
Kurotsuchi bit her lip, a trace of gloom flashing in her eyes. Although she usually argued with the old man, being questioned about not being his biological granddaughter, especially by an enemy, somewhat angered Kurotsuchi. This was an insult to her grandfather's face.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this world isn't just your Iwa Ninja who can fly!"
With that, Bai Ye instantly appeared beside Kurotsuchi. Under her terrified gaze, Bai Ye directly grabbed her neck and slowly, gently increased the pressure in his hand.
"Ōnoki, if you use Dust Release, your granddaughter will die with them, you know? And aren't you going to deal with that guy in the sky?"
A smile played on Bai Ye's lips as he watched Ōnoki, wanting to act but not daring to. He felt like laughing and pointed to the purplish-black lightning orb above their heads.
That was the Lightning Release: Thunderclap that had been created earlier by the steam from the Fire Release and Water Release.
However, due to the short time, it hadn't grown very large, but it still covered a lot of area. When Ōnoki saw it, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The Ninja below looked at the lightning orb falling continuously, their hearts filled with even greater despair.
How could they dodge that?
"I'll do it!"
Ōnoki said, pushing his Chakra to its limit, then aimed his Dust Release at the Thunderclap: "Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Jutsu!"
Half of the lightning orb was swallowed by the Dust Release, instantly draining most of Ōnoki's Chakra. He then looked at Ay and said, "Hurry and act, otherwise everyone will be finished!"
Although they had been bickering, if they didn't resolve this now, everyone would die. He had used a lot of Chakra and needed to recover for a bit.
"Understood!"
Saying that, Ay looked at Killer Bee beside him. Clearly, a Tailed Beast Ball was needed at this moment.
Seeing the Thunderclap shattered in the air by the Tailed Beast Ball, the Allied Shinobi Forces showed a faint smile. It looked terrifying, but it was actually just that.
However, before they could rejoice for long, Bai Ye's voice, like that of a Shinigami, once again echoed in their ears, and the even more terrifying scene before them filled them with even greater despair: "They blocked the first one, but what about the second?"
