Chapter 1060: Yecheng: Indeed, Female Disciples Are the Best!
Chapter 1060: Yecheng: Indeed, Female Disciples Are the Best!
Not long after the Third Raikage was sealed, the Fourth Raikage also tearfully sealed his younger brother, Killer Bee.
Yugito, the Two-Tails jinchūriki, had been evenly matched with Dariu and even slightly dominated the battle. However, when Rin and Obito joined the fray, she was quickly overwhelmed and eventually sealed.
After the battle in the Hidden Cloud Village concluded, Yamanaka Ichi used the Yamanaka clan's secret technique to telepathically contact Yecheng, informing him that the other shinobi villages had already gathered at the designated location. Ichi urged Yecheng to return as soon as possible, as it seemed that Uchiha Fugaku was planning another major move.
Suna, being closer to Konoha, and with the Eternal Truth ninjas not being particularly strong, was relatively easy to handle. The Fourth Kazekage, who was one of the more capable fighters, had already been eliminated by Yecheng during the Konoha collapse plan.
Thus, when Minato and Kakashi arrived, it took them very little time to stabilize the situation.
The Stone Village was the only one of the other four major shinobi villages to stabilize their front lines through their own strength.
Kingeshi and his teacher, Mu, fought fiercely using their "Kekkei Genkai" Dust Release, eventually emerging victorious, though Kingeshi had injured his back. As a result, Sakon led the main force to the rendezvous point.
"From our current position, it will take at least half a day to reach the gathering point, and most of our Hidden Cloud Village ninjas are injured..."
Samui knew that delaying the operation was unwise, but the consecutive heavy losses had already caused significant casualties among their Kirigakure ninjas.
If they were to rush to the final battlefield through the night, their Kirigakure ninjas would likely arrive with only a fraction of their original strength.
Samui, for the first time, voiced her opposition to the Fourth Raikage's order for a forced march.
Forcing injured ninjas to travel would be no different from sending them to their deaths once they reached the final battlefield, where the fighting would be even more intense.
However, the Fourth Raikage dismissed Samui's concerns, insisting that the Hidden Cloud Village had no cowards.
Who, upon choosing the path of a ninja, had not already accepted the possibility of death? Now that the other four major shinobi villages had already gathered, how could the Hidden Cloud Village possibly back out at the last moment?
Even if they survived, how would the entire ninja world view them?
Reputation was crucial for a shinobi village, as it directly affected the number of missions they could secure.
Just as the Fourth Raikage and Samui were arguing, they noticed a green aurora-like curtain suddenly appearing in the sky.
The green aurora, covering a significant portion of the sky, was exceptionally bright and beautiful against the night sky, with points of light resembling fireflies descending from the aurora's range.
One of the severely injured Kirigakure ninjas, seeing the beautiful, firefly-like lights falling from the sky, reached out to catch one. To his surprise, the green light merged into his body and disappeared.
At first, he was puzzled about what the green light was. However, he soon discovered that the moment the green light entered his body, a warm, soothing sensation enveloped him, and his injuries began to heal at an astonishing rate.
Similar scenes were occurring throughout the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas' forces. Even the Fourth Raikage and Samui, who had been exhausted after the fierce battle, found their fatigue dissipating, and their chakra rapidly restoring!
Haruno Lin clasped her hands together in front of her chest, looking at Yecheng, who was enveloped in a layer of fluorescent green light, with adoration.
Standing beside Rin, Obito, who was also bathed in the green light, felt no healing at all. Instead, he noticed that the green light gathering around him seemed more intense and vibrant than that around others.
I really hope Lord Yecheng and the Fifth Mizukage get married right here! Otherwise, with Lord Yecheng being so outstanding, I really can't beat him...
After demonstrating a wave of group healing magic, which made the Cloud Village ninjas profoundly grateful, even the previously grumpy Fourth Raikage became much more polite towards Yecheng.
Following this, Yecheng drew a magic array on the ground with a branch...
Of course, in the Hokage world, they preferred to call it a sealing technique.
"Lord Raikage, please have all the Kirigakure shinobi step into this array. Next, I will use the Space-Time Seal to teleport all of us to the rendezvous point."
Hearing Yecheng's words, the Fourth Raikage, Samui, and the other Cloud Village ninjas were all stunned, their eyes filled with shock.
"Are you sure this sealing technique will work? Even Konoha's Yellow Flash doesn't have such a powerful space-time ninjutsu, right?"
It was normal for the Fourth Raikage to have concerns, as they had a similar ninjutsu in the Hidden Cloud Village, performed by Mabui.
However, the "Heavenly Transport Jutsu" was generally used only for transporting supplies, as its principle involved moving the target at high speed to the designated location.
Due to the high speed, there was intense friction with the air and significant G-forces, which ordinary people couldn't withstand, leading to their bodies being torn apart and killed.
To date, only the Third Raikage could perfectly withstand the effects of the Heavenly Transport Jutsu.
Even the Fourth Raikage, while capable of surviving the teleportation, couldn't do so as effortlessly as the Third Raikage.
As for ordinary ninjas, they would almost certainly be torn apart the moment the jutsu was activated.
Before Yecheng could respond to the Fourth Raikage's doubts, Rin, who was standing nearby, stepped forward, clearly annoyed.
"What's the problem? We relied on this jutsu of our teacher to get here so quickly.
Teacher's strength and abilities far exceed your imagination. Even a strong ninjutsu and taijutsu user like the Third Raikage was defeated by Teacher using ninjutsu and taijutsu.
As a medical ninja, do you think even Lady Tsunade could perform that miraculous healing ninjutsu?
Space-time ninjutsu might be the most difficult to master, but for Teacher, it's nothing."
Yecheng, who had been about to say something, chose to remain silent upon hearing Rin's spirited defense.
Indeed, in the Hokage world, it seems that taking on female apprentices is the way to go. They're like little cotton coats, unlike those male disciples who might turn on their teacher at any moment.
Given the urgency of the situation and Yecheng's previously demonstrated strength, which was indeed trustworthy,
the Fourth Raikage, after a brief hesitation, finally had all the Cloud Village shinobi stand within the array Yecheng had drawn.
Despite the recent battle, there were still nearly ten thousand Cloud Village ninjas. Yecheng's confident demeanor made the Raikage curious to see how he would manage to teleport such a large group.
