Chapter 115: The Four Great Ninja Villages Are Nothing Special! (4K)



With the addition of Kira, the Empire's Kirabi, the Cloud Ninjas found themselves overwhelmed from all sides.

Many discerning observers could tell that without any aid, the Cloud Ninjas would likely be annihilated within half an hour.

The Empire... they truly are fearsome!

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, took action, sending a pillar of light toward the group of Cloud Ninjas, indiscriminately attacking Kira, a member of the Empire, and the Ai brothers.

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Spears!"

Deidara of the Empire clapped his hands together and shouted.

The ground within a hundred meters of the Second Tsuchikage Mu transformed into countless earth spears, forcing him and a group of ninjas to retreat while also impaling the calves of some ninjas, greatly diminishing their combat effectiveness.

"You little punk!"

Oonoki, upon seeing Deidara's move, let out an angry growl.

He, too, unleashed a Dust Release technique.

Other ninjas followed suit, using Earth Style techniques.

Deidara deftly avoided the Dust Release attack.

The black-clad figure transformed into countless afterimages, spinning around Deidara and detonating all the incoming Earth Style techniques!

"Bullying us with your numbers? This was your doing first! Take this! Earth Style: Clay Soldiers Technique!"

Deidara brought his hands together.

The ground rumbled as countless clay soldiers emerged from the earth, charging toward the ninjas of Iwagakure.

There were at least five or six thousand of them.

Each one moved with extreme agility, possessing almost Jonin-level strength, and managed to hold off a portion of the onslaught.

However, against the more powerful ninjas, these clay soldiers were not enough. With simple exchanges, they were destroyed one after another.

"Hahaha... It's not over yet! Explosion Style: Clay Puppets!"

Deidara spread his hands wide, and the mouths in his palms frantically spat out piles of clay. As this clay mixed with the earth, it transformed into dozens of clay puppets that charged toward the Iwagakure ninjas.

"It's Deidara's Explosion Style! Everyone, be careful! Those things will self-destruct! Maintain your distance and protect yourselves!"

Kitsuchi shouted a warning.

He had seen Deidara use this technique before.

However, the biggest difference between Deidara of the Empire and the one from the Ninja World was the sheer number of clay puppets!

Using the same technique, Deidara of the Empire created countless clay puppets, far surpassing the number the original Deidara could create by several dozen times!

Kitsuchi covered himself with a layer of earth and charged toward the clay puppets, delivering a powerful punch that smashed one of them into the ground, creating a crater with a diameter of ten meters.

The clay puppet, which should have exploded, remained completely still.

Several other clay puppets surrounded him, their bodies transforming into sharp spikes that pierced through the layer of earth covering Kitsuchi, forcing him to retreat.

As soon as he retreated, the defeated clay puppets stood up once again.

"How is this possible?!"

Many who knew the weakness of this technique were baffled.

Even when they got close and unleashed a flurry of attacks, the clay puppets would simply split into new ones when cut or slashed.

Like this, these dozens of clay puppets were akin to dozens of Jonin-level ninjas, suppressing a large group of elite ninjas.

Additionally, with Kurotsuchi's strength, they managed to briefly hold their ground against the Iwagakure ninjas.

However, it was clear to discerning eyes that the combined might of Deidara and Kurotsuchi of the Empire fell short of that of Ai and Kira of the Empire, and their defeat was only a matter of time.

This realization filled the ninjas from the Four Great Ninja Villages with both fear and excitement:

"These guys are indeed powerful! But! We can win!"

"Victory will be ours! Damn Empire, get out of our world!"

Someone shouted in excitement.

This excitement was short-lived.

Because... Gaara's backup, a group of people wearing exoskeletons, had entered the fray.

They raised their right arms and aimed at the Iwagakure ninjas.

The next moment.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Red, blue, green, and earthy yellow lights burst forth, tearing through the air at incredible speeds. Within moments, they had crossed hundreds of meters, leaving the Iwagakure ninjas with little time to react as the earthen layers covering their bodies shattered, their bodies pierced!

"Damn! What kind of instantaneous ninjutsu is this? So fast!"

"Get away! Move!"

A group of people shouted, trying to dodge, but only a handful were fast enough to avoid the attack.

"I'll take care of them!" Oonoki roared, pausing his attack on Deidara of the Empire and redirecting his Dust Release technique toward Gaara and his companions.

They easily dodged the attack.

Several people wearing exoskeletons flew into the air above the Iwagakure ninjas and deployed their wings.

The next moment.

Countless thumb-sized metal objects rained down like droplets of water.

BOOM!!!

Upon impact, the metal objects exploded, and in a short time, a large number of Iwagakure ninjas were injured by the blasts!

This sight caused Oonoki's eyes to nearly pop out of their sockets:

"Damn it! What the hell are those things?!"

He shouted, waving his hands frantically as he tried to use his Dust Release technique to clear the exoskeletons from the sky.

But the exoskeletons were incredibly agile in the sky, dodging while dropping bombs and shouting:

"People of the Ninja World, do not continue to resist. If this continues, it will be difficult for us to control our strength, and there will be a lot of collateral damage!

The times demand reform and progress. You, who are content to stand still and rely solely on ninjutsu, will never be able to defeat us, a force that combines ninjutsu, qi, and technology!

Open your eyes and see! The times have already changed!"

"Damn it! Everyone, attack! Why are you still standing there?"

Onoki roared at the two great ninja villages who had not yet taken action.

The people from the two villages wore extremely solemn expressions.

"Everyone, let's go together! For the future of the Ninja World!"

The Third Mizukage spoke with a solemn expression.

"I wanted to wait for the First Hokage, but it looks like we have to take the lead," the First Mizukage sighed.

"Time waits for no one! Let's join forces!" added the Fourth Kazekage, Rokudaime.

They raised their hands, and the land beneath their feet transformed into a golden torrent, forming golden hands that attacked the exoskeleton warriors in the sky.

The others also took action, and the chakra rioted as various ninjutsu were unleashed.

"Since you've all joined the battle, I suppose I have no reason to hold back anymore," said the Empire's Gaara, his expression indifferent as he glanced at the sand ninjas. He brought his hands together and declared, "Sand Release: Thousand Killing Sand Dragons!"

Rumble!!!

The ground shook violently, and within a hundred-meter diameter circle in front of the Empire's Gaara, all the earth turned into sand. It then shot up into the sky, forming a 500-meter-long sand dragon!

Riding on this sand dragon, the Empire's Gaara began to dive-bomb, occasionally reaching out with its claws to grab sand ninjas like ants, pulling them into its body, leaving only their heads exposed.

The Empire's Gaara displayed terrifying strength, easily overwhelming the entire Sand Ninja Village with a single move, sending them scattering in fear and screaming:

"This is a joke! How can that monster-level sand dragon... be summoned by Gaara from another world?"

"The Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release... It crumbles at the slightest touch! Their strength is on a whole different level!"

"We can't win! The Kazekage from another world... is an absolute monster!"

"Hahahaha! These cries of terror are quite pleasing!

It seems I was too lenient before, and by not showing our full strength, I've made it difficult for you to understand our might, which has made things more troublesome than they needed to be!

Now, let's crush them all!

Water Release: Great Exploding Water Collision Wave! Shark Skin! Decapitating Knife! Combine!"

The Empire's Kisame laughed maniacally, spewing out a massive flood that turned the area within a radius of seven or eight kilometers into a pool of water. He then transformed into a metallic-colored shark with its head hanging low and charged through the water with a thousand water sharks, knocking out ninjas one after another.

"Bone Release: Machine Gun Technique!"

The Empire's Kimimaro drank low, his hands raised flat. Finger bones pierced through space, bursting out one after another like bullets, penetrating the bodies of the ninjas from the hidden villages.

The Empire's Haku, who had been silent since arriving in the Ninja World, wore a snow-white outfit, like a snow goddess. She clapped her hands and slowly exhaled.

"Ice Release: Ice Age!"

The next moment, the color of the sky changed within a radius of ten kilometers.

A cold wind blew across the world, and hail fell from the clouds!

While this level of attack was not lethal, it greatly affected the ninjas who possessed extraordinary power but still had relatively weak bodies.

They either became sluggish in their movements or had to consume a large amount of chakra to maintain their condition.

"Shadow Thousand Killing Spears!"

The Empire's Shikamaru also took action, bringing his hands together. The shadow beneath him instantly transformed into countless tentacles, touching the shadows of a group of ninjas from the hidden villages.

"Shadow Warriors!"

The Empire's Shikamaru shouted again.

The shadows were stripped from their owners, turning into black shadow warriors that began to attack their original masters, causing them to fall into chaos.

"Then, it's my turn!"

The Empire's Tenten, dressed in a light blue outfit, took out a long spear from her spatial ring. Her figure turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the ninjas from the hidden villages.

When she drew close, she waved her hands and said, "Martial Arts: White Bird Morning Phoenix!"

The spear tip split into a hundred parts, like birds chirping, leaving bloody flowers on the ninjas' bodies.

"Oooooh! Intense! My blood's pumping! Eight Inner Gates! Reverse Muscle Relaxation! Roar!"

Roaring, Empire's Rock Lee transformed into a muscular hunk, his body surging forward. With both hands swinging, he whipped up gusts of wind, sending groups of ninjas flying.

The weakest among these ninjas who had taken action were at the Kage level, while the stronger ones possessed strength comparable to, or even surpassing, that of tailed beasts.

The scales of victory quickly tipped towards the Empire.

A portion of the Empire's forces who had yet to act watched quietly, observing the battle.

Sasuke Uchiha of the Ninja World crossed his arms, a bored expression on his face as he commented:

"Is this all the Ninja Villages have to offer? They're so weak... It's a letdown that they summoned the previous Kage and strong individuals."

Though he spoke dismissively, his heart was filled with shock. Each and every member of the Empire was incredibly powerful!

Indeed, when the Empire dispatched these individuals to the Ninja World, they had already calculated that they possessed the strength to flatten the entire Ninja World...

"They're amazing... The people of the Empire are truly formidable."

"Our previous worries were completely unnecessary."

"As expected, our choice to side with them was correct!"

"Resisting the Empire is utterly meaningless."

A group of Konoha ninjas felt a sense of relief in their hearts upon witnessing this display.

At the same time, they looked towards Empire's Itachi, Empire's Deidara, Empire's Kakashi, and other powerful individuals who had yet to make a move.

Their hearts were filled with admiration.

After noticing this, a sense of despair and frustration filled the faces of some of the ninjas from the Four Great Ninja Villages:

"How can this be...? Just these few individuals are enough to suppress all the ninjas from the Four Great Ninja Villages, as well as some of the previous Kage and powerful figures... These guys... They're truly terrifying."

"Wasn't it said... that as long as we unite and work together... there's nothing we can't overcome...?"

"They're too frightening... These guys aren't ninjas at all! They're demons!"

"We're just ninjas. How can we fight against demons!? We can't win! There's no way we can win!"

"Let's surrender... These guys... At least they're holding back in the fight... If we surrender, they should accept us..."

Voices carrying similar sentiments began to echo throughout the Four Great Ninja Villages.

Hearing this, the leaders of the ninja villages couldn't help but feel anxious.

At the same time, they couldn't help but wonder, "Where's the First Hokage and the Edo Tensei ninjas from Konoha? Could it be... we've been betrayed?"

Damn you, Legendary Sannin! Damn you, Akatsuki! So, you were in cahoots with Konoha and the Empire, weren't you?

The Kage and leaders of the Four Great Ninja Villages were filled with anxiety.

Even Mizukage Mei Terumi felt the pressure mounting, and she was on the verge of surrendering.

Just then, a loud shout rang out:

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

The earth rumbled as countless giant trees sprouted from the ground, pushing back the Empire's forces who had been ruthlessly suppressing the ninja alliance.

Everyone turned their eyes towards a particular direction.

There...

The First Hokage, accompanied by the other Hokage, a group of powerful Edo Tensei ninjas from Konoha, and Jiraiya, rushed towards them at full speed.

Seeing this, the strong ninjas from the Four Great Ninja Villages couldn't help but smile.

"Finally, they've arrived. With the First Hokage here, we've got this in the bag!"

"It's the First Hokage... This might be a bit troublesome."

Some members of the Empire frowned.

According to the Empire's records, the Great God-Emperor had held the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, in high regard, referring to him as one of the few individuals capable of pacifying a chaotic world, a peerless warrior in the millennium before the Empire's unification.

But... Weren't these guys from Konoha? Why are they fighting on the other side?

The Empire's forces turned their heads towards Tsunade of the Ninja World.

"Grandpa! Great-Grandpa! Jiraiya! What are you doing!? Why are you helping the Four Great Ninja Villages?"

From a distance, Tsunade shouted back,

"Yeah! Little Tsu! We're here to protect the Ninja World!" Senju Hashirama shouted in response.

"Protect the Ninja World? What do you mean by that? Grandpa, you're supposed to be on our side!" Tsunade yelled.

"Of course, I'm here to stop the Empire and you, who's leading Konoha. I've heard about the Great Toad Sage's prophecy from little Jiraiya.

If the Empire is allowed to rule the world, this world will be doomed! That's why! We must protect it!"

Senju Hashirama replied resolutely.

"Jiraiya, you bastard! You've been well-behaved all this time, but now, at this critical moment, you're pulling this stunt on me!?"

Tsunade's veins popped out on her forehead, and she clenched her fists, wanting to punch Jiraiya.
