Chapter 225: 400-Meter Long Sword!
Chapter 225: 400-Meter Long Sword!
"Shoot him, Divine Spear!"
The tip of the Sword of the Thousand Autumns in Tang Ping's hand instantly extended forward.
This was no joke; while it may look like a 'sword,' it was actually a Sage Technique, capable of changing form.
Chakra Form Transformation Technique! Just like the Chidori Spear.
There was no reason why what Chakra could do, Sage Chakra couldn't.
As long as the basic condition, which was the control of Sage Chakra, was met, developing this move was not difficult.
Swoosh!
The sky blue blade instantly pierced through the Eight-Tails' belly, making its tough and thick skin as fragile as cardboard.
It was worth noting that the Eight-Tails had previously been able to easily withstand the long-range attacks of over a thousand Konoha Shinobi.
But now, it was instantly pierced by the Sword of the Thousand Autumns.
Not far away, A witnessed this scene.
"Kirabi!"
His eyes almost bled from anger and worry.
Kirabi had grown up with him, and their relationship was closer than that of brothers.
Tang Ping, within the True Body of Zhurong, naturally heard A's voice filled with various emotions and sneered:
"Tch, acting like I'm the evil villain, you guys aren't exactly saints either."
He was well aware that the future Fourth Raikage was far from a good person.
Arrogant and reckless, he would forcefully take anything he wanted, and any resistance would result in the destruction of entire villages.
Facing such a person, he would not show any mercy.
Swish!
As he mocked, he suddenly exerted force with his right hand.
The True Body of Zhurong replicated Tang Ping's movement, fiercely slashing upward with the 400-meter-long Sword of the Thousand Autumns.
Rip!
The massive Eight-Tails, like a mountain of flesh, was cut in half.
Although the Tailed Beast Transformation wasn't a true physical body, this would certainly leave it severely injured, if not dead.
For dealing with large targets, Giga was still the best.
If it were Jiraiya... even Gamakichi's several-meter-long short sword would have become dull, and he would have been powerless against it.
Now, do you understand the value of 'Giga'?
"Heavy Stream Burst!"
A's furious full-power strike hit the back of the True Body of Zhurong.
Boom!
The terrifying impact made the True Body of Zhurong shake uncontrollably.
"Indeed, even with Sage Techniques, the defense is still far inferior to Susanoo."
Tang Ping turned his head to look at A, whose outer armor had been shattered, leaving only a single layer between them. He knew that if A's strength were just a bit stronger, he could break through the defense.
If A was like this...
Then the Third Raikage, who was far stronger, would definitely break through the True Body of Zhurong with his Hell Thrust Four-Pronged Fist.
Tang Ping was also aware of why the defense of the True Body of Zhurong was lacking.
Fire was unsuitable for defense!
This was determined by the nature of the Chakra. If it were Earth Release, the defense would be much stronger, which was one of the reasons he had chosen Earth Release as his second attribute.
With the support from the Root Division, his Earth Release had made significant progress, and he believed that he would soon see results.
"Fire Pillar Array!"
Tang Ping uttered a few words.
In the past, once the True Body of Zhurong was used, he would have to end the battle as quickly as possible due to the high consumption of Sage Chakra.
Now that his Chakra had grown significantly, he had more room to maneuver.
Boom, boom!
Dozens of meters thick white fire pillars burst from the ground, engulfing the area around the True Body of Zhurong.
Such a wide-ranging attack gave A no chance to dodge.
The power was also immense!
This time, there would be no easy escape for the opponent.
The process seemed long, but from the moment Tang Ping used the Sword of the Thousand Autumns to severely injure the Tailed Beast Transformation of Kirabi, to luring A over and using the Fire Pillar Array to heavily damage him, it all took less than ten seconds.
After Tang Ping severely injured Kirabi, Jiraiya immediately jumped onto Gamakichi.
He was ready to take advantage of the enemy's weakened state and finish them off.
Ninja do not have the attribute of "mercy" towards their enemies (Naruto: I'll give you another chance to organize your words).
"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bomb!"
A combination technique where Gamakichi provided the oil and Jiraiya provided the Fire Release.
Oil + Fire!
It was like a burning bomb.
The terrifying heat and adhesion instantly increased the destructive power several times over, engulfing the sliced Kirabi.
Tang Ping immediately dispelled the True Body of Zhurong.
This technique was a complete drain on his senjutsu chakra, and he didn’t want to keep it active.
"Next!"
Tang Ping’s gaze fixed on A, who was being pushed into the sky by the Pillar of Flame Array and was now unconscious and falling. His eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Although he didn’t want to change the plot, he figured that the loss of a potential Raikage from the Cloud Shinobi would speed up the selection of another one.
But before he could act...
"Brother!"
Killer Bee appeared below the landing point, using his octopus tentacles to wrap around A and escape at an astonishing speed.
"How is that possible?"
Not far away, Jiraiya, who was still standing on Gamakichi’s head, was stunned.
He knew very well that his Toad Oil Flame Bomb had truly burned the target, and the body was still in the swamp.
Only Tang Ping reacted quickly.
‘Octopus Tentacle Clone Technique, huh?’
He remembered that Killer Bee indeed had this move.
Even the future Itachi’s Mangekyou couldn’t see through it, let alone Jiraiya.
But this technique should be countered by the Rinnegan. If it were Hiyashi Aoi, he could have easily finished off the opponent with a Divine Sky Strike.
Since the target had been rescued, Tang Ping had no intention of pursuing.
Because the two of them couldn’t change the outcome of the battle.
Not to mention, A was unconscious, and Killer Bee had a wound that was bleeding profusely.
It must have been caused by the earlier ‘400-meter blade’ attack.
With the goal achieved, all he needed to do was ensure that Konoha didn’t lose. As for helping the enemy decimate the Cloud Shinobi army?
He must be dreaming!
After all, he had used his Sage Mode and his Giga, so no one could accuse him of not doing his best.
Even if he was still in good condition.
But as long as he didn’t say anything, who would know?
After seeing a certain signal, Tang Ping suddenly took action.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood spewed from his lips, and his expression visibly weakened.
Jiraiya, who had just dispelled his summoning technique and come over to regroup, asked with concern:
"Did you get injured in the battle?"
Fighting against the AB Combination, a Kage-level duo, getting injured was entirely normal.
"I’m... I’m fine, quickly go support Teacher Kurama!"
Tang Ping ‘struggled’ to speak.
Completely disregarding his own safety, everything was for the village to win.
The Will of Fire buff was maxed out!
After seeing this, Jiraiya thought that his teacher’s complaint in the letter was a bit too harsh.
The person might just be a bit hot-headed, but his body was filled with the Will of Fire. He didn’t seem to have any ambitions or rebellious tendencies.
"Alright, I’ll go first. Be careful!"
Jiraiya quickly headed towards the main battlefield.
His chakra consumption from the earlier battle wasn’t significant, so with him as the ‘fresh force’ joining, along with the previous Konoha reinforcements, unless the Third Raikage was prepared to die with Konoha, they had no choice but to retreat.
After Jiraiya left, Tang Ping didn’t dispel his disguise but remained ‘weak’ and was slowly supported by Hiyashi Aoi as they moved towards the battlefield.
White Zetsu!
He was nearby.
This was something Hiyashi Aoi had just discovered, so Tang Ping’s disguise wasn’t just for Jiraiya but also for White Zetsu.
He couldn’t let the other side, or Madara behind him, know his true strength.
At the same time, he could show weakness to the Shinobi World, indicating that his strength was in a ‘stagnation period’ and the threat wasn’t as serious as imagined, making them focus less on him.
A win on multiple fronts, he was completely winning.
By the time they reached the original camp, which was the main battlefield, the surprise attack by the Cloud Shinobi army had been repelled.
It had to be said, the Third Raikage was truly a ‘human Giga.’
Not only did he manage to rescue the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, who was sealed by the Diamond Fist, from the combined efforts of Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, but he also stayed behind to cover the retreat.
His combat power was off the charts!
If not for the worry about the Cloud Shinobi army, he might not have retreated at all.
Thus, this major battle, which was sparked by the plans of both sides, came to a close.
