Chapter 315: Battle of the Kage
Chapter 315: Battle of the Kage
"Wind Release: Compression Destruction!"
As the First Raikage, Ay, and the First Tsuchikage, Ishihara, collided, high-density gusts of wind, summoned by the First Kazekage, Reto, with a clap of his hands, rushed towards Yu Xuan Yue.
Accompanying the wind were countless pebbles that were swept up from the ground.
Empowered by the strong gusts, the pebbles became deadly projectiles, pelting towards Yu Xuan Yue with formidable force.
Yu Xuan Yue remained unfazed. With a calm clap of his hands, he countered:
"Wind Release: Compression Destruction!"
A more powerful gust of wind emerged from his hands, swiftly overwhelming the incoming attack.
Soon, the two high-density gusts collided in mid-air, creating an earsplitting howl.
Moments later, Reto's technique was dispersed.
The countless pebbles, carried by the wind, suddenly changed direction and, with a piercing sound, rushed back towards Reto.
Crackle! Crackle!
The ground beneath Yu Xuan Yue's feet suddenly cracked open, and vicious vines sprouted, reaching towards his legs as if to entangle him.
Yu Xuan Yue, anticipating this, did not continue manipulating the wind technique. Instead, he vanished from his original spot, appearing elsewhere in the blink of an eye.
The Fourth Raikage, A, reacted instantly, flashing towards Yu Xuan Yue's new position and raising his sturdy right arm to strike.
Simultaneously, the First Raikage, Ay, having recovered from the earlier clash, reactivated his Raiton chakra and also swung his right arm.
"Lariat!"
With a deafening blast, the two Raikage lunged at Yu Xuan Yue with lightning speed, one after the other, like true bolts of lightning.
As a secret Nin Taijutsu passed down in the Lightning Country, founded by the Second Raikage, the reanimated First Raikage, Ay, had quickly mastered this technique. Combined with the Fourth Raikage's prowess, their collaborative attack unleashed a might that far surpassed the renowned AB combination.
At this moment, it wasn't just the Raikage who were in action.
On Yu Xuan Yue's left and right, countless trees, densely packed without a gap in between, shot up from the ground, blocking any attempt to retreat sideways.
At the same time, the solid ground beneath his feet transformed into a quagmire, causing him to pause involuntarily.
Without needing to communicate, the battle-hardened Kage seamlessly coordinated their attacks.
As the two Raikage closed in, Yu Xuan Yue's Rinnegan narrowed slightly, but he didn't seem rushed to activate the Shinra Tensei to repel his surroundings.
The First Tsuchikage, Ishihara, and the Second Kazekage, Satomori, were lurking underground nearby.
Something seemed amiss with Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze.
And now, with a clap of his hands, the already-activated Sage Mode, Hashirama Senju, joined the fray.
"Are you waiting for the Shinra Tensei before making your move?"
Yu Xuan Yue pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowing in determination.
Just as the two Raikage were about to strike, four blazing fireballs, the size of washbasins, appeared instantly behind and in front of Yu Xuan Yue. They accurately targeted the outstretched arms and heads of the approaching Raikage.
The expressions of the First and Fourth Raikage changed.
While they did not fear death, if their arms and heads were hit by the blazing fireballs, their subsequent attacks would be interrupted.
The Raikage's Raiton chakra surged once more, and with lightning-fast reflexes, they dodged the fireballs. However, their dark, muscular arms were now poised to clamp down on Yu Xuan Yue's neck from both sides.
Slap! Slap!
Suddenly, the First and Fourth Raikage found themselves immobilized. Turning their heads, they saw their outstretched wrists restrained by a pair of slender, pale hands.
Yu Xuan Yue, with even faster reflexes, had seized the opportunity during their evasion to intercept their attacks calmly.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
Piercing cold air spread in all directions.
Visible to the naked eye, the ground beneath Yu Xuan Yue's feet turned into a sheet of ice crystals.
Over a dozen offensive puppets controlled by the Second Tsuchikage, Satomori, that had just emerged were completely frozen.
But it didn't end there.
The piercingly cold air rapidly spread underground.
Wherever it passed, the vast army of Satomori's puppets, specially hidden underground to launch continuous assaults, along with the surrounding soil, were all frozen solid.
Even Satomori himself could not escape and was likewise encased in ice.
Only the First Tsuchikage, who was more skilled in Earth Release and faster, managed to evade the encroaching Ice Release.
Yu Xuan Yue was about to press his advantage and pursue the attack.
But the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, some distance away, quickly opened her red lips:
"Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique!"
A large amount of chakra-composed mist sprayed from Mei's mouth.
In the blink of an eye, a thick fog enveloped Yu Xuan Yue.
Yu Xuan Yue's Rinnegan eyes scanned the mist but could not penetrate it.
The dense white fog before him completely obscured the Rinnegan's vision.
"The current Five Kage still have some tricks up their sleeves," Yu Xuan Yue remarked calmly.
If it had been any other ninja, the Hiding in Mist Technique would not have had the same effect as it did with the current Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.
Yu Xuan Yue was just about to summon a strong wind to disperse the mist when he suddenly frowned and took a step back. A thick vine shot out from the ground where he had been standing.
This was just the beginning.
In the following moments, wherever Yu Xuan Yue went, a large amount of Wood Release, empowered by Hashirama Senju's senjutsu chakra, followed him relentlessly, not giving him any respite.
Outside the mist.
The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, continued to expend chakra to strengthen the Hiding in Mist Technique.
Beside her, with the assistance of a Hyuga clan ninja, Hashirama Senju, constantly captured Yu Xuan Yue's movements and performed hand seals, unleashing Wood Release techniques.
There were quite a few Hyuga ninjas present as well.
Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze also threw Flying Thunder God Kunai towards various areas within the white mist with the aid of the Byakugan.
After the respective preparations were made.
The two men glanced at each other.
Swipe!
Their figures instantly vanished.
Inside the mist, Yu Xuan Yue was continuously jumping and dodging one coiling tree trunk after another when suddenly,
A familiar temporal fluctuation appeared behind him.
A blue Rasengan, spinning at high speed, was hurtling towards his back.
Yu Xuan Yue did not turn around.
He allowed the Rasengan to hit his back, and then, at a visible speed, it quickly shrank and completely disappeared.
Kakashi, with his unperturbed expression, did not stop with the Rasengan and instead, seized the opportunity to slap his hand forward, intending to leave the Flying Thunder God seal on Yu Xuan Yue.
Yu Xuan Yue flipped his right hand, and a black stick shot out.
"Puchi!" The stick pierced straight through Kakashi's head.
"Bang!" Kakashi's body turned into white smoke and dissipated.
"A shadow clone," Yu Xuan Yue muttered, her expression changing slightly.
He exhaled Boil Release: Steam Ninja Art, swiftly evaporating the relentless Wood Release and then letting it spread around him to prevent the reanimated enemies from repeatedly testing him with shadow clones.
