Chapter 254: The Human-Shaped Monstrous Beast!
Chapter 254: The Human-Shaped Monstrous Beast!
"Eight Trigrams Palms of Destruction. Wound Gate. Open!"
Yamazaka Koji's roar echoed from beneath his power armor.
At this moment, his metallic armor was removed, and a terrifying amount of chakra gushed out from the power armor, forming a visible whirlwind.
The power armor seemed to come to life, revealing its sleek curves.
It was the Needle Storage Technique!
One of the two secret techniques Jiraiya had exchanged.
By controlling the hardness and softness of the power armor, it appeared as if it had come alive.
As for the Wound Gate of the Eight Trigrams Palms of Destruction?
It was normal to have made such progress.
With his unwavering determination and exceptional taijutsu talent, Yamazaka Koji lacked nothing. Combined with ample resources and secret potions, he might one day challenge the 'Emperor' for the title of the strongest in taijutsu.
"Brat, why would a genius like you be born in Konoha?"
Generations' question seemed directed at both Yamazaka Koji and the Ninja World.
Indeed!
Konoha's geniuses seemed endless.
Not to mention the former God of Shinobi and the Demon of the Ninja World.
There was also White Fang and the Three Sages, and now they had Purifying Flame, Golden Flash, and Yamazaka Koji, the 'Storm's Wrath'. It was indeed unfair for the other ninja villages.
"If I were born in the Sand Ninja Village, would I have achieved what I have today?"
With just one sentence, Yamazaka Koji silenced Generations.
Indeed, if Yamazaka Koji were in Sunagakure, he would have no chance to rise.
In the Sand Ninja Village, ordinary non-bloodline limit ninjas who wanted to stand out had only three paths: Wind Style, Poison, and Puppetry. Other talents simply couldn't flourish.
This wasn't a talent issue but a resource problem.
"Since it's like this, I'll destroy you, the genius of Konoha!"
Generations' chakra threads trembled in her hands.
Kacha!
Three puppets stood together, one jumping onto the shoulders of the other two, forming a triangle, and then they simultaneously performed a hand seal.
"Puppetry: Three Treasure Devouring!"
A terrifying tornado formed with Yamazaka Koji at its center, locking him firmly in place.
Whether it was poison or mechanisms, they had little effect on Yamazaka Koji, who wore power armor, which was why Generations used this ultimate move.
Violently!
A fierce flame erupted from the back of the power armor, and Yamazaka Koji, in the Fourth Gate state, unleashed his strongest attack.
"Cosmic Illusion!"
The tornado was directly blown away by his punch, carrying an immense force as it rushed towards Generations.
Boom!
The fist tore through the earth, and the wind pressure blew away the surrounding tents and corpses, as if an invisible giant beast had charged through, leaving a deep gorge on the ground.
Yes, this was how exaggerated the ultimate move was in the Wound Gate state.
The biggest drawback was its difficulty in hitting the target.
But Generations had just revealed her position to use Three Treasure Devouring, allowing Yamazaka Koji to land this strike.
First, he encountered three overlapping puppets.
Bang! The fist shattered the three puppets and continued forward.
"Puppetry: Mach Light Shield!"
Generations crossed her hands in front of her eyes, then transformed all the chakra in her body into this defensive ninjutsu.
A transparent chakra light screen unfolded.
The fist slammed into the light style.
Boom!!
It was like setting off an explosion.
The surrounding earth was directly shattered, and everything was swept away by an invisible air current.
When the tremors subsided.
Generations finally managed to withstand the attack, but her condition was terrifying.
Her face was pale, and she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.
Yamazaka Koji's previous attack had completely drained her chakra, and even her modified arm suffered damage, temporarily losing her combat effectiveness.
"Generations-sama!"
Several masked Sand Ninja Anbu appeared.
One person supported Generations as she walked away, while the other two simultaneously performed Wind Style, and the last one quickly collected the nearly ten people.
Don't underestimate these puppets.
They represented the crystallization of puppetry, so it was natural not to leave them behind.
The Sand Ninja Village's greatest advantage over other ninja villages was puppetry, so advanced puppetry knowledge must not be leaked.
Bang, Bang!
Yamazaka Koji, withstood the Wind Style attack and shattered the two Anbu.
With his current strength, there was no situation where a punch couldn't kill.
Of course.
Even if it were a Jonin with Taijutsu specialization, such an attack wouldn't be able to directly shatter them.
But these two Anbu were at best Chunin, and not Taijutsu specialists, so they couldn't withstand his punches.
With Chakra enhancement, Yamazaka Koji's casual strike was no weaker than a B-rank Ninjutsu attack.
He was like a human monster!
The next moment proved this.
He focused on Generations, and any Sand Ninja who dared to approach was directly knocked away and shattered, with no one able to withstand a single blow.
A thousand armies trembled, and none could match him!
Yamazaka Koji perfectly embodied these two idioms.
"Stop him!"
"Don't use throwing tools!"
"Watch out for his Taijutsu!"
...
Amidst the Sand Ninjas' various shouts, Yamazaka Koji only had eyes for Generations, and wasn't affected by the chaos.
During their conversations, he learned something from Dohei.
The true pillar of Sunagakure was Generations.
Defeating her would be like breaking the Sand Ninja's backbone.
What a pity!
One by one, the Sand Ninjas rushed forward, determined to delay even for a second.
However, even though he didn't catch up to Generations, Yamazaka Koji's disruption of the Sand Ninjas' rear allowed the battle to shift in favor of the Leaf Village.
"This was the crucial role of a Semi-Shinobi God on the battlefield, directly influencing the outcome."
The prerequisite was that the armies were not vastly different in strength.
Bang, bang!
Several signal flares rose into the sky.
"Full retreat!"
After forcing Danzo back, Elder Crab loudly ordered the surrounding Sand Ninjas to retreat.
"Elder Crab, you won't escape today!"
Danzo instantly regained his spirit.
This was an opportunity to earn merit.
Capturing the Sand Village's strategist would be a massive achievement.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Great Ball!"
Danzo, disregarding the cost, used this advanced Wind Style technique.
He didn't intend to kill Elder Crab but to stall him, allowing others to capture him.
At that moment, a voice that made Danzo angry sounded.
"Hey, isn't that 'Danzo-sama'? After a short absence, why are you struggling against even a Jonin?"
Dong Ping, with his arms crossed, stood on a wooden pillar, looking down at the battlefield.
His mockery was powerful.
"Because before losing his leg, Danzo was a quasi-Shinobi God, and even if he couldn't dominate the Elder Crab, he could definitely suppress him easily. Now, they were like two weaklings fighting, which was indeed laughable."
"You..."
If not for the inappropriate location, Danzo might have attacked Dong Ping, who had struck at his heart.
The decline in his strength was a pain in his heart.
But after losing an eye and a hand, he became a Jonin, and recently, with another leg lost, he became an elite Jonin. One could imagine the frustration and anger in his heart.
Now, with Dong Ping's mockery, how could he possibly calm down?
"Also, Danzo-sama, are you sure you want me to take action?"
Dong Ping's gaze swept to the side.
Leaf Warehouse!
He had also returned.
Their battle was a draw, so it was impossible for either to be defeated or killed.
At the same time, Dong Ping left a message for Leaf Warehouse.
That if he had no way out, the Heavenly Fortress would always welcome him.
In response, Leaf Warehouse's reply was only two words.
Dream on!
Now, back on the battlefield, one side wouldn't take action, and the other wouldn't either.
"Hmph!"
Danzo naturally understood Dong Ping's hint.
It meant that if he took action to capture someone, Leaf Warehouse would do the same, and it would be a test of who had the tougher luck between him and Elder Crab. So, he coldly turned away.
Elder Crab also began to retreat under Leaf Warehouse's cover.
Naruto Uzumaki didn't intend to pursue them to the end.
The Leaf Village... couldn't afford to chase them.
