Chapter 412: The Battle Begins!
Tailed Beast Ball!
Two massive chakra spheres began to form at the mouths of the Two-Tailed Beast and the Eight-Tailed Beast.
At such close range, the Tailed Beast Balls spared even the time for flight, and there was no chance to dodge the attack.
With the power of the Tailed Beast Balls, a single one could level an entire camp, making a second one completely unnecessary.
But with both Jinchuriki using their Tailed Beast forms, it was clear they were afraid the enemies wouldn't die thoroughly enough.
It was also because of the Tailed Beast Balls that the surrounding Cloud Village Army didn't immediately follow.
Tailed Beast Balls wouldn't differentiate between friend and foe; they were area-of-effect attacks. If they followed, the friendly fire would be astonishingly devastating.
"Super Amplification Technique!"
A voice rang out from within the camp, and Choza Akimichi, having consumed a secret potion, transformed into a giant, blocking in front of the two Tailed Beasts.
"Super Push Palm!"
His two palms, covered in blue chakra light, pushed forward.
As the palms were about to touch the Tailed Beasts, they grew to dozens of meters in size, carrying terrifying power, and struck the Eight-Tailed Ox-Demon, who was unable to dodge due to using the Tailed Beast Ball.
Boom!!!
The Ox-Demon's massive body, comparable to a small mountain, was directly pushed away, turning into a shooting star.
"Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Compound Technique: Earth Dragon Flame Stream!"
The voices of the ninjutsu users echoed from not far beside Choza Akimichi.
It was Sarutobi Shinzo.
Naturally, he was the first to react to the presence of enemies and had prepared for battle.
It must be said that as the eldest son carefully cultivated by Sarutobi Niji, his strength was indeed impressive.
As long as he didn't compare himself to monsters.
Even the current Kakashi might not be his match.
This compound ninjutsu technique showcased a style reminiscent of Sarutobi Niji.
Unfortunately, the difference between an elite Jonin and a Shadow Level powerhouse was not just a matter of rank but a gap in quality.
This brings us to the topic of chakra quality.
The strength of a Shadow Level powerhouse's C-rank fireball would undoubtedly be more powerful than that of a lower-ranked ninja's C-rank fireball.
Even if they consumed the same amount of chakra and used the same hand seals, the power would be different.
Of course, if you had significantly more chakra than a Shadow Level powerhouse, you could also overcome them.
So, Sarutobi Shinzo's compound ninjutsu technique, like Sarutobi Niji's, didn't necessarily mean it had the same power.
Its power was only on par with an A-rank forbidden technique, and when it hit the Two-Tailed Beast, it couldn't disrupt the Tailed Beast Ball's formation.
"Find a way to disrupt the Two-Tailed Beast!"
Nara Shikaku shouted, reminding the others.
If the Two-Tailed Beast were allowed to release its Tailed Beast Ball, the entire camp would be blasted into the sky.
Various tools and ninjutsu bombarded the Two-Tailed Beast relentlessly.
However, these attacks were ineffective against the thick-skinned Tailed Beast, which simply blocked them with its two tails, using them like shields to defend against all assaults.
To be honest, most of the ninjas' abilities were designed to deal with their own kind, and they had limited capabilities against massive targets.
At least, among these people, there were few who could handle such a situation, and even if there were, they might not be able to handle the Two-Tailed Beast.
Sealing Technique!
That was the best option.
Even Danzo's sealing technique skills were far from capable of sealing a Tailed Beast, unless he used his Inner Four Elements Seal, which might be effective.
Seeing the ineffectiveness of their attacks, Nara Shikaku's gaze shifted to the camp behind him.
Their attacks might be futile, but that didn't mean no one else could succeed.
Not far away, Danzo's eyes flickered as he looked at the massive Two-Tailed Beast, his right hand already touching the bandages as if he were about to unravel the seal.
But just then, a voice interrupted Danzo's actions.
"Shoot it down, Divine Gun!"
Along with the voice, a dazzling blue light pierced through the dark night sky.
The two tails, which had easily blocked the barrage of tools and ninjutsu, were instantly pierced by this blue light, also disrupting the nearly formed Tailed Beast Ball.
Meow!!!
The Two-Tailed Beast's sharp, agonizing cry nearly shattered everyone's eardrums.
The intense attacks also came to a halt.
All the Leaf Village ninjas turned their attention to the camp behind them.
Step, step!
Three figures slowly emerged.
Although the white-armored Houshi Yamayama was eye-catching, he took a half-step back, allowing Dong Ping, with his black hair and a dark golden flame-like mark between his eyebrows, to take the lead with a domineering and fiery aura.
As for the last member, an insignificant figure, he was unconsciously overlooked by others.
404th Squad!
This was also the new legendary squad of Konoha.
However, unlike the previous 'San Nin' squad, this team's fame was so low that even ordinary people were unaware of their existence.
After all, Dong Ping had a rebellious nature, and the F4 would have to be brain-dead to help promote him.
Furthermore, they actively worked to erase their influence.
Now, unless one had personally encountered them, they wouldn't even know Dong Ping's name.
It must be said that ninjas truly excel at information blockade.
"Lord Dong Ping!"
"Lord Dong Ping!"
...
One by one, voices echoed.
Strong! The best support on the battlefield.
Dong Ping's expression remained unchanged as he slowly stepped forward.
He had already entered Sage Mode, and his emotions naturally switched to a cool and distant state.
Unless necessary, he would maintain this state to avoid his mental state being eroded or influenced by Sage Mode.
"Here!"
Dong Ping didn't look at the screaming Two-Tailed Cat Demon, his gaze fixed in one direction.
"Uchiha Dong Ping!"
A furious voice resounded first, followed by a figure shrouded in thunder and lightning rushing towards them.
Fourth Raikage: A!
He was also the opponent defeated by Dong Ping in the previous battle, and if it weren't for Kirabi's intervention, he might have been eliminated.
Unfortunately, Dong Ping showed no intention of engaging, and with a glance at his teammates, he turned his attention elsewhere.
"Eight Trigram Palms, activate!"
Mountain Clan Houshi naturally understood this as his cue and entered the Eight Trigram Palms state.
He didn't bother with the gradual activation of each gate but went straight to the highest level he could manage.
"Jing Gate, open!"
With this command, Mountain Clan Houshi's power armor glowed with a terrifying green chakra light.
Boom! The surrounding air was evacuated, enveloping his entire body in green chakra radiance.
To live a decent life, one must have a touch of green! The Jing Gate is the sixth gate of the Eight Trigram Palms, and its power enhancement is incredibly formidable.
In this state, he could use the accompanying technique.
Toward Peacock!
Yes, that 'friction-induced fire' taijutsu.
A single strike could evaporate the ocean and ignite the air—a terrifying taijutsu.
In this state, combined with the reaction speed and power provided by the power armor, Mountain Clan Houshi's mobility could barely keep up with the Raikage.
Whoosh!
After entering the Jing Gate, Mountain Clan Houshi collided with the rushing A at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
He unleashed a full-power punch with his right hand.
Bang!
The air shattered, creating a sonic boom, and a whirlwind arose from the surrounding area.
The power of a single punch was terrifying.
Mountain Clan Houshi realized that his fist was far more useful than any ninjutsu.
Even a small mountain would not withstand more than a few punches in his Jing Gate state.
If it were ninjutsu, how many techniques could achieve such power?
This was indeed a more useful ninjutsu.JPG!
The Raikage, of course, responded with an equally powerful punch.
Joking aside, as the Cloud Village's top ninja, he was a master of taijutsu, even without using chakra. His office was filled with training equipment, and he was not one to shy away from a fistfight.
And in terms of physique, the Raikage, standing over two meters tall, was not much shorter than Mountain Clan Houshi, who stood at two meters and three centimeters in his power armor, his muscles resembling a suit of armor.
The Shinobi World was full of such unreasonable, physically extraordinary individuals.
Boom!!
The clash of fists was like the detonation of a powerful bomb, instantly uprooting the surrounding soil and trees, creating a massive crater.
Skyfall Hero!
Both the Raikage and Mountain Clan Houshi were formidable men capable of grappling with Tailed Beasts.
Of course, they were still far from the level of the Third Raikage, but they had at least earned the qualification.
"Raikage, A!"
"Konoha Jonin, Mountain Clan Houshi!"
The two introduced themselves, acknowledging each other's worth as opponents.
But this wasn't the most important thing. What mattered was that after the failed Tailed Beast Ball attack, the two Tailed Beasts launched another offensive.
And the Cloud Village army surrounding them also joined the battle.
Unable to release the Tailed Beast Ball, they didn't have to worry about friendly fire, so they naturally joined the fray.
