Chapter 371: The Xuanyuan Cong's Surprise Attack!
Chapter 371: The Xuanyuan Cong's Surprise Attack!
Bang!
A figure, clad in white power armor, descended from the sky, landing beside Uchiha Yae.
Although she was confident in a two-on-one fight, war was not a place for bravado, especially when one had ample strength but chose not to use it, which would seem rather foolish.
Although Uchiha Yae admired Uchiha Han, she would not be as arrogant as him.
"Storm Fury!"
Scorpion's gaze turned to Yamagawa Kousuke, knowing that he was there for him.
Natural Enemy!
For a puppeteer, Yamagawa Kousuke was a natural enemy.
His power armor ensured immunity to poisons, eliminating puppeteers' most feared weakness.
Additionally, his terrifying strength allowed him to effortlessly shatter puppets.
Might makes right!
No matter how sturdy the puppets were, they couldn't withstand the force of several dozen to a hundred tons with a casual strike.
"Crimson Sand Scorpion!"
Yamagawa Kousuke's gaze fixed on Scorpion.
He was well aware of his opponent's intelligence, as Dong Ping would never conceal information from the core members.
"How do you know my identity?"
Scorpion was perplexed.
He was currently inside the Crimson Flow Amber puppet.
His appearance was drastically different from his true self, making it impossible for anyone to recognize him.
"Who knows!"
Yamagawa Kousuke, of course, would not reveal his intelligence sources and tightened his body, preparing to strike.
Even against a natural enemy puppeteer, he remained vigilant.
After all, ninja battles were incredibly dangerous, and a moment of carelessness could lead to tragedy.
"Now, let's begin the second round!"
Uchiha Yae took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with battle intent.
The current situation was absolutely advantageous for their side.
After all, with an inside agent among the ninja army, no one dared to trust their allies easily, while their side was led by elites and strong individuals, coupled with high morale, making it unsurprising that they held the upper hand.
With the army's advantage, Uchiha Yae could fight with peace of mind.
Otherwise, as the commander and main general of the army, she would not display personal bravery but would instead prioritize ensuring their side's victory first.
As for casualties?
Although Dong Ping always wished to minimize casualties, Uchiha Yae found it a bit 'weak.'
Strong and elite warriors were destined to bathe in blood.
Therefore, one could make thorough preparations but must not hesitate because of it.
If there were still casualties with so many advantages on their side, it could only mean that the enemy lacked effort or luck.
Zila!
She entered the Lightning Transformation Mode.
However, it was a modified version, resembling Dong Ping's Flame Robe.
Blue electric currents appeared around her, making her seem like a goddess bathed in lightning.
Previously, she dared not use it for fear of being recognized as a Cloud Hidden Village Lightning Transformation Mode, which would have been troublesome.
After all, it was the Lightning Shadow's inherited technique, and once it was known to be leaked, they would stop at nothing to retrieve it.
But with the modified appearance resembling the Flame Robe, there was no need to worry.
Regardless of who saw it, they would only assume it was a 'Lightning Robe' developed based on the Flame Robe.
"Lightning Transformation: Lightning Robe!"
Uchiha Yae confidently declared the name.
Regardless of whether others believed it, the Heavenly Fortress would firmly call it by this name.
This way, they could avoid attracting the attention of the Cloud Hidden Village.
At least until they had a real confrontation with the Lightning Shadow, the Cloud Hidden Village would not know that the Lightning Robe was their Lightning Transformation Mode.
The Lightning Robe and Amaterasu were vastly different, with stronger enhancements and improved defense.
Moreover, regular training in this mode could enhance basic reactions, speed, defense, and more, making it a combination of training and combat.
It was because of this immense potential that this technique became the Lightning Shadow's inheritance.
Once it was known that this technique had leaked, the Cloud Hidden Village would spare no effort to retrieve it, regardless of the cost.
Originally, this technique should not have been learned by outsiders.
But Dong Ping not only obtained the Third Lightning Shadow's corpse but also possessed an astonishing research ability. He deduced the Lightning Transformation Mode from the corpse.
During the previous battle with Kakudo, as the modification was not complete, this technique was not used. Now, upon using it, Kakudo instantly felt the danger.
Zizi!
Uchiha Yae's speed, accompanied by lightning flashes, was astonishing.
Boom!
With a single sword slash, she simultaneously kicked Kakudo away.
The instinct of a powerhouse was truly remarkable; the more lethal the attack, the faster the reaction. Kakudo managed to dodge the Shinobigatana but couldn't avoid the kick.
Kakudo was no pushover, and he immediately retaliated.
But the more they fought, the more surprised he became!
Under the influence of the 'Lightning Robe' technique, Yae's speed and reflexes had significantly improved.
Most importantly, her defense had also been considerably enhanced.
Defense!
This was the key to the technique's superiority over the Amaterasu in terms of physical enhancement.
The Third Raikage utilized the Lightning Transformation Mode to refine his physical prowess, reaching a level capable of close combat with the Eight-Tails.
Although Yae was far from achieving such a level, her defense was already formidable.
After all, not only had she been cultivating this ninja technique for years, but she also had a significant advantage.
Resources!
Various nutrient solutions, natural power potions, and medical ninja techniques from Dong Ping allowed her to fully unlock her physical potential without fear of depletion.
As a result, she could maintain her training while maintaining a slender and graceful figure with skin as fair as snow. Otherwise, without these resources, she might have quickly transformed into a Thunderous Maiden.
If that had happened, Dong Ping might have had to 'reject' her.
Indeed, he was that straightforward.
Just as he openly expressed his desire to 'lie down' and 'open a harem', he never concealed his ambitions.
It was fortunate that he had gone to great lengths to save Yae when she lost her eyesight, for if he had not, she would have undoubtedly taken action against his blatant 'infidelity'.
The Uchiha clan does not divorce; they only become widows!
Kakudo's regular attacks couldn't breach Yae's defenses, and with his inferior speed and reflexes, he was at a severe disadvantage. The situation was much more perilous than their previous encounter.
As for creating distance and engaging in a long-range battle?
Sorry, but Yae wouldn't give him that chance.
It was evident that the Lightning Transformation Mode, a secret technique passed down by the Raikage, was genuinely powerful.
Not far away, Yamagawa Kousuke had an even greater advantage.
It wasn't that Scorpion wasn't strong, but some of his specialized techniques were unsuitable for this battlefield.
At the very least, they weren't ideal for this kind of battle.
For example, the Third Wind Shadow's Human Puppet and Hundred Machine Performance; using them on the battlefield would be like publicly revealing one's identity.
He wasn't afraid of exposing his identity, but he didn't want to attract the attention of the Hidden Sand Village in the future, so he could only rely on Crimson Flow Amber.
Scorpion's disadvantage grew as his signature poison was ineffective, and he couldn't use his trademark ability.
Fortunately, the Ninja Army wasn't limited to just two powerhouses.
Not far away...
"Boss, a Shadow Rank powerhouse with a bounty of fifty million ryo. Should we take him on?"
One of the five Xuanyuan Cong members looked at their leader.
The leader, the oldest among them with white hair, gazed intently at Yae, who was enveloped in lightning and dominating Kakudo. He felt a sense of familiarity.
Yes, they had fought the Raikage and witnessed the Lightning Transformation Mode, which explained their feeling.
"Let's do it!"
The leader made his decision.
If they dared to take on a mission to hunt the Raikage, they certainly wouldn't hesitate to target Yae.
As he made his choice, the others quickly moved in, concealing themselves as they approached the battlefield.
The fifth member of their group, a young man in a green top, began discreetly unleashing his ultimate move.
Bursting Insects! This technique had given the former Raikage a hard time, and he might have been defeated if he hadn't sought Tsunade's help in time.
Now, he was repeating the same strategy, intending to use this move to defeat Yae.
These insects were completely immune to chakra; once inside a target's body, they would absorb the target's chakra and grow, eventually bursting and tearing the target's body apart, hence the name 'Bursting Insects'.
Due to the difficulty in cultivating these insects, the target had to be carefully chosen.
But a Shadow Rank powerhouse was definitely worth the effort.
As for why they didn't target Yamagawa Kousuke, it was because the 'Powered Armor' had no openings, capable of withstanding even poison gas, let alone insects.
Soon, Yae sensed something amiss.
