Chapter 194: Shattering the Mist Ninja's Worldview!
Chapter 194: Shattering the Mist Ninja's Worldview!
"Uchiha Dohei!"
The Third Mizukage removed his Mizukage hat and took off his outer robe, revealing his battle attire.
Jet-black, straight hair! Just like Orochimaru, his long, flowing black hair and squinted eyes made him look anything but a Kage.
'Does he fear his genjutsu marks will be discovered?'
Dohei immediately thought of this, but it didn't stop him from acting.
"Fall back!"
As he spoke, he lunged forward.
The moment he saw the Third Mizukage here, Dohei understood the mastermind's plan.
Testing!
The opponent wanted to use the Third Mizukage to gauge his strength.
Last time, when the Seven Shinobi Swordsmen of the Mist launched a surprise attack on Konoha, his interference thwarted their plans. With his recent activity, the enemy had turned their attention to him.
By deliberately surrounding the area for a few days without attacking, they were clearly waiting for him to make a move.
Even if he hadn't arrived in time, they likely would have played a cat-and-mouse game, letting the prisoners escape and then pursuing them until he showed up.
Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for two Kage-level shinobi to intercept the Rear Guard instead of chasing the two major clans' main forces that had been defeated.
Since the enemy wanted to test his strength, Dohei was more than happy to oblige.
"Senjutsu: True Form of Zhurong!"
Without any preliminaries, he entered his 'Gundam' state.
Roar!
Infinite flames appeared out of nowhere.
First, they formed a massive flame giant, then layer by layer, the flames transformed into a crimson armored giant.
Compared to before, he no longer needed to transform into a fire armor avatar to enter the True Form of Zhurong, skipping the prelude altogether.
The form was more refined, and the energy consumption was lower, among other improvements.
These enhancements were due to his growth in fire techniques and his advancement in Sage Mode.
Though he had many responsibilities, Dohei never rested.
He now used the Qingming Agent as an oral solution, and his growth rate was evident.
Of course, his chakra had also been steadily increasing, and he had gained several more 'kilo-units' compared to before.
While this growth hadn't allowed him to break the thirty 'kilo-units' barrier, it did enable him to cast over a dozen more A-rank jutsu.
The appearance of the True Form of Zhurong was incredibly impactful.
With no mist to obscure the view, everyone could see it clearly.
"What is that!"
"So terrifying!"
"It must be a deity, definitely a deity!"
...
Even though ninjas didn't believe in deities, they seemed to have forgotten this in the face of such a shocking sight.
It was so overwhelming that it could strip away the desire to fight.
"Senjutsu: Orochimaru's Slash!"
Standing inside the 'Gundam,' Dohei didn't bother with charging or aiming; he simply unleashed this powerful technique.
Roar!
Infinite white flames surged forward like a tidal wave.
The flames, towering dozens of meters high and spanning hundreds of meters wide, didn't require aiming because it was a large-scale area-clearing technique.
"Block the enemy!"
"Don't panic, we can win!"
"Use water jutsu!"
...
Various voices rang out among the Mist ninja, and they began using water techniques in an attempt to block the senjutsu.
"Water Style: Water Bullet!"
"Water Style: Water Wall!"
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
...
One after another, water jutsu filled the battlefield with countless streams of water.
Although they weren't near the ocean, which would have greatly reduced the effectiveness of water techniques, they were at least by the seaside, so the impact was still significant.
Dozens, if not hundreds, of water jutsu formed a massive wave in front of the white flame.
Finally, the Third Mizukage rapidly formed hand seals.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall!"
He used this A-rank jutsu.
Being a Kage didn't necessarily mean one knew S-rank forbidden techniques, just like a certain strongest Hokage who knew only the Impure World Reincarnation and nothing else (Tobirama: You can't be serious?).
The Great Waterfall, an A-rank water jutsu, was no less powerful in the Third Mizukage's hands than it would be for someone with chakra comparable to a tailed beast.
While the latter relied on sheer chakra, the Third Mizukage's mastery of water techniques allowed him to amplify the jutsu's power to an extraordinary degree.
Water overcomes fire!
At least, that's what the shinobi of the ninja world believed.
However, today they witnessed a scene that defied this rule, shattering their worldview.
The white flames, facing the overwhelming waves of water, not only failed to be extinguished but rapidly evaporated the water, pushing forward with unyielding force.
Indeed, water does overcome fire.
But when the temperature and volume of the flames far exceed that of the water, even a disadvantage won't matter.
Zzzt!
Only when someone was scorched by the intense heat and then ignited into ashes did the Mist ninjas react.
"Quick, get out of here!"
"Don't stay here any longer!"
"Fall back!"
...
With these shouts, they all quickly retreated.
In one blow, the combined jutsu of hundreds of ninjas was shattered, demonstrating the sheer power of Johei's Sage Technique. At this point, his combat strength was far beyond that of an ordinary ninja.
Showing his strength to Madara was also a way to discourage the old man from targeting him. If his power wasn't strong enough, Madara would surely find a way to eliminate him. But once Madara realized how terrifying Johei's strength was, he would think twice before taking action. Especially when Johei was outside Konoha, where he wouldn't interfere with Madara's plans, he would be ignored.
With this in mind, Johei went all out, activating Sage Mode and using his Sage Techniques without any reserve the moment he landed.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.
"Quickly!"
"Move faster!"
"Take the injured with you!"
...
Hyuga Aozuki directed the remaining breakout forces, taking advantage of the distraction to slip past the battlefield.
With her superior vision, she was the perfect commander.
"Die!"
Sankan Koji, with his towering 2.5-meter frame, charged forward like a tank, leaving no resistance in his wake.
"What is this?"
"Ahh!"
"Damn!"
...
Facing the counterattacks, he didn't even bother to dodge, plowing through them head-on.
One punch, one down!
With his terrifying strength, each punch was as powerful as if it were enhanced by the Water Cannon Jutsu.
No one could stand in his way as the vanguard.
Thanks to him, a clear path was forged for the breakout forces.
Until... Kakuji Yugao stood in his path.
"You... are truly strange!"
While speaking, he rapidly formed seals and swung his coral staff.
"Secret Technique: Water Mirror Jutsu!"
He used his most powerful secret technique.
A water mirror appeared in front of Sankan Koji, and within it, a duplicate of him materialized.
"Interesting!" Sankan Koji roared with battle fervor, "Eight Gates Released Formation: Open!"
He instantly entered the Eight Gates state.
By now, he had mastered this forbidden technique and no longer needed to keep it a secret. He focused on refining his body.
The duplicate mirrored his actions.
Both right fists clashed simultaneously.
Bang!
The massive impact sounded like two high-speed trains colliding.
However, Kakuji Yugao's face showed surprise.
"How is this possible?"
He realized that the duplicate created by his secret technique was starting to collapse.
And the opponent didn't have any secret techniques or Bloodline Limits, so the duplicate should have been equally strong, right?
"If you can replicate my body, then come at me!"
Sankan Koji's aura grew even more formidable.
He had gathered a lot of intelligence about this secret technique on his way here and was well-prepared, deliberately engaging the opponent.
The duplicate could indeed replicate the target's jutsu, but not the physical strength.
Is a piece of iron the same as a piece of iron that has been hammered a thousand times?
Whoosh, whoosh!
The flames from the two thrusters on his back suddenly erupted, and Sankan Koji unleashed a powerful attack.
"Universal Illusion!"
Directly hitting Kakuji Yugao wouldn't work, as he would dodge. But hitting the less intelligent duplicate was no problem, as it would use the same technique.
Boom!
The two powerful attacks collided, sending dirt flying and shattering the air as if a heavy missile had been detonated.
This attack also shattered the duplicate.
It wasn't the attack itself that was the issue.
The duplicate's body simply couldn't withstand such an extreme amount of damage and was shattered.
"Again!"
Sankan Koji, having defeated the duplicate, lunged at Kakuji Yugao.
By keeping him occupied, the breakout forces could escape smoothly.
On the other side, the Third Mizukage and the Mist ninja forces didn't want to let the breakout forces escape, but that was only if they could catch up.
Because Johei, without pausing for breath, unleashed a second large-scale Sage Technique.
