Chapter 309: The Ninja Alliance's Countermeasure
Chapter 309: The Ninja Alliance's Countermeasure
"So fast?!''
At the headquarters of the Ninja Alliance, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
It had only been a short while, and Hayori Gengetsu had already crushed a 10,000-strong ninja unit? Even though they were aware of his formidable strength, this was simply too exaggerated.
The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, recalled her previous words and murmured,
"No wonder Hayori Gengetsu dared to show up alone."
Upon hearing the latest battle report, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, clenched his fists and became even more resolute in his plan. He declared,
"If this continues, we'll only be picked off one by one! Give the order, Tsunade! Mobilize everyone; I refuse to believe we can't wear Hayori Gengetsu down!"
Hearing this, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, quickly added, "We should indeed deploy our forces, but not everyone. Against a powerful opponent like Hayori Gengetsu, having too many ordinary ninjas won't make much of a difference!"
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, agreed, "Tsunade, let's divide our forces."
Just as Tsunade was about to agree to Onoki's plan and divide their forces, Inoichi Yamanaka quickly reported, "Hayori Gengetsu has reached the second interception squad's defense line!"
Tsunade's expression turned solemn, and she immediately instructed, "Kakashi, you take command of the second interception squad. Make sure to hold them off until reinforcements from headquarters arrive!"
"Yes!"
Kakashi Hatake swiftly mounted his horse and stood before Inoichi, allowing him to place his hand on Kakashi's forehead. Empowered by the Yamanaka clan's secret technique, Kakashi began to remotely command the second interception squad.
Tsunade continued to issue orders,
"First Hokage, Second Hokage, current Kage, Minato, and half of the Impure World Reincarnation forces, follow me to deal with Hayori Gengetsu."
"As for headquarters, I leave it to you, Hiruzen."
With the commands from the supreme commander of the Ninja Alliance, everyone promptly replied,
"Yes!"
In an instant,
A series of whooshing sounds filled the air.
Led by Tsunade, the group of Kages, along with the Impure World Reincarnation forces, swiftly set off to confront Hayori Gengetsu.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Amidst the surging crowd, the clanging of metal rang out incessantly.
Wielding a stolen ninja sword, Hayori Gengetsu swung it with such speed that the ninjas and samurai around him couldn't react in time and fell beneath his blade.
"Where is he?"
"He's here... No, wait! Where did he go?"
"I can't see him at all!"
"Is that even human speed?"
"..."
The ninjas and samurai, armed with kunai, shuriken, and ninja swords, looked around in bewilderment, wanting to strike but not knowing where to begin. They could only watch helplessly as one companion after another fell swiftly.
Clang!
Just as Hayori Gengetsu was about to swing his sword, a ninja sword suddenly appeared, blocking the attack of a clueless ninja, who had been staring blankly.
Hayori Gengetsu let out a soft sound of surprise.
After fighting for so long, this was the first time someone had managed to block one of his attacks.
"Your reaction is very swift. Additionally, your strength is quite impressive."
Hayori Gengetsu tightened his grip on the sword hilt, but the ninja sword in front of him remained unmoved.
He turned his head and saw a man with a long beard on his mouth and chin. The man's head was wrapped in bandages, and he wore a green layered armor. His eyes were like sharp blades as he stared intently at Hayori Gengetsu.
The newcomer was none other than the Iron Country's general, Mifune.
"Instead of hiding in your own country, the samurai of Iron Country embrace the ridiculous Bushido and come here to die as well?" Hayori Gengetsu remarked calmly as he observed his opponent.
Mifune firmly gripped his ninja sword with both hands and stated,
"For the Ninja World! Samurai who follow the Bushido will, of course, join the battle!"
As his words fell,
Mifune abruptly swung his ninja sword horizontally, allowing Hayori Gengetsu's sword to pass in front of him. Mifune then swiftly bent his body, took a step forward, and forcefully slashed his ninja sword downward.
Yuyi Xuan Yue's pupils constricted slightly as he rarely took a few steps back.
Mifune's eyes narrowed as he channeled his chakra to swing his ninjato relentlessly at Yuyi Xuan Yue, giving the Second Interception Squad time to regroup.
Soon, under Shikaku Nara's remote command, the initially chaotic Second Interception Squad quickly stabilized and rearranged their personnel.
"Lord Mifune, you can evacuate now."
Shikaku's voice echoed in Mifune's mind.
Mifune remained unfazed as he channeled his chakra into the blade, and amidst his relentless slashes, a substantial sword aura cleaved through the air towards Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Taking this opportunity, Mifune quickly created distance by retreating.
"Trying to escape?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue, who had already anticipated Mifune's chakra movements with his Rinnegan, easily dodged the cleaving sword aura and extended his left hand towards Mifune.
Bansho Ten'in!
In an instant,
Immense gravitational force descended, causing Mifune to lose control and fall towards Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Seeing this, Shikaku Nara immediately gave a new command.
"Earth Style: Rock Cannon Technique!"
A group of Rock ninjas performed hand seals and spat out small stones from their mouths. As the stones collided in the air, they transformed into solid cannonballs that rained down on Yuyi Xuan Yue.
"The Rinnegan has the ability to absorb all ninjutsu, but can it also absorb ninjutsu simultaneously when another Rinnegan casts a different technique?"
With the help of Inoichi Yamanaka's ability, Shikaku witnessed the battle firsthand and directed the troops while testing his hypothesis.
Thanks to Uchiha Madara's previous rampage in Konoha, the Ninja Alliance had gained some understanding of the Rinnegan's abilities, unlike before when they were clueless.
Just as Uchiha Madara could not simultaneously use the Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals when casting Susanoo.
While maintaining the Bansho Ten'in, Yuyi Xuan Yue was similarly unable to perform the Sealing Jutsu.
However, he didn't seem concerned.
As Steel Release covered his body, Yuyi Xuan Yue focused his gaze on the approaching Mifune, and a black rod swiftly extended from his palm.
Despite the barrage of rock cannonballs crashing onto Yuyi Xuan Yue, they couldn't budge him an inch, and Mifune was drawn closer to his opponent.
Shikaku quickly issued a new command.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow River!"
Rows of ninjas slammed their hands on the ground.
In an instant, the ground beneath Yuyi Xuan Yue rapidly rose, while the ground where Mifune stood sank, creating distance between them once again.
It wasn't over yet.
A group of Cloud ninjas with Storm Release bloodline limits performed hand seals at incredible speed and slammed their hands together:
"Storm Release: Lightning Flash Thunderclap!"
Dozens of powerful lasers formed from a combination of lightning and water sliced through the sky, relentlessly striking Yuyi Xuan Yue's body.
"Steel Release Shield focuses on physical defense, so it's not as effective against Storm Release, which is also a bloodline limit. The absorption range of Meiton is not as vast as the Rinnegan, so it's challenging to block all the Storm Release lasers. There's only one way."
Through the eyes of the ninjas on the field, Shikaku observed Yuyi Xuan Yue, who had been pushed high into the air and had nowhere to dodge, and quickly analyzed the situation.
Indeed, his guess was correct.
The gravitational force affecting Mifune vanished.
The dozens of lasers that had reached Yuyi Xuan Yue also dissipated.
Shikaku witnessed this and relayed the new information to Tsunade, who was on her way.
However, just as he finished reporting,
Several black rods suddenly pierced Mifune's back.
With a loud thud, the samurai fell to the ground.
