Chapter 413: Fierce Battle!
Chapter 413: Fierce Battle!
"Fire Rat Orb!"
A blue flame in the shape of a rat was spewed out by the Two-Tailed Beast.
"Scatter!"
The surrounding Konoha ninjas weren't fools and quickly dispersed.
Squeak!
The blue flame in the shape of a rat instantly dispersed, turning into human-sized blue flames that chased after the nearby Konoha ninjas.
"Ah!"
"Beware!"
"These flames are unavoidable, find a way to break through them!"
...
Various cries rang out as dozens of Konoha ninjas were burned to death.
The casualties were significant!
It was clear that ninjas wouldn't just stand idly by and wait for their demise; they would try to dodge and defend themselves. Yet, even with their efforts, the high number of casualties indicated the terrifying nature of these flames.
"Huh?"
Dohei, who was on guard against the Eight-Tailed Beast's return, glanced curiously at the situation not far away.
Fire Rat Orb! He had a vague impression of this technique.
After all, he had skimmed through the anime before his transmigration, and there were parts he didn't know, so he felt curious.
Those flames, akin to tracking missiles, were indeed extremely effective against the highly agile ninjas.
If he unleashed his full power and brought out his hidden Melt Technique, he could even take on two Tailed Beast Jinchuuriki single-handedly.
But what right did he have? He wasn't some 'Loyal Leaf Village Subject'; how could he possibly sacrifice so much for the village?
If he used the Melt Technique, it would be like admitting his identity as a 'Shell Organization' member, instantly making him a public enemy in the Shinobi World.
After all, the Shell Organization had done too much; even if the major ninja villages didn't know his identity, it would be strange if they didn't seek revenge upon discovering it.
At that time, with Konoha's usual style, they would definitely find a way to make him 'surrender' and take the opportunity to stab him in the back, feeding on his blood-stained fortune.
Don't think it's impossible; the grass on Hyuga Hidachi's grave hasn't even grown yet.
Therefore, Dohei was merely curious about the technique the Two-Tailed Beast used and had no intention of helping.
And there was no need!
With the combined might of the Boar Deer Butterfly trio, Danzo, and Sarutobi Shinzo, if they couldn't handle a mere Two-Tailed Beast, they might as well give up and go to sleep.
The Two-Tailed Beast was indeed powerful, and this was undeniable.
Especially when the Jinchuuriki hadn't gone berserk, it avoided the 'combat intelligence' weakness of the Tailed Beasts.
But Konoha wasn't unprepared.
Knowing they would face the Cloud Village Army, they naturally prepared measures to deal with the Tailed Beasts.
As long as they could restrict the opponent, the Sealing Team could seal it.
Even without the Sealing Team, they could directly attack the Jinchuuriki.
Tailed Beasts were indeed difficult to deal with, but Jinchuuriki were much easier to handle.
Dohei himself had to face the Eight-Tailed Beast, which was far superior to the Two-Tailed Beast in every aspect.
Whoosh!
A white flame appeared on his body, forming layers of fiery gauze, and together with the flame pattern on his forehead, he resembled a sage descending upon the world.
Sage Mode had become second nature to Dohei, who had never slacked off.
At this moment, he surpassed Jiraiya in every aspect, rivaling the legendary Senju Hashirama.
Of course, reaching the level where one could clap their hands and instantly enter Sage Mode like the other party was definitely not achievable in a short time.
After all, the other party had an unfair advantage.
Sage Body!
It was a super bloodline, and the terrifying chakra quantity of the Uzumaki Clan was just a bankrupt version of this physique.
A single statistic was enough to reveal the horror of this physique.
Chakra quantity rivaling the Nine-Tails!
The value was understood by those who knew.
This unfair advantage was so blatant that it was as if they had thrown away their faces.
Therefore, as a transmigrator, Dohei had to find another way to catch up with these cheaters.
Hmm, he already had an idea, and it was almost complete.
Once this idea succeeded, he would instantly leap into the 'Hyper Shadow' level, enough to stand alongside Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Han, the Hyper Shadow powerhouses.
Of course, he might lose more than he won, but at the very least, he would reach this level.
At this moment, Dohei's pursuit was no longer aimed at the current Shinobi World powerhouses but the legendary figures.
Whoosh! Amid the sound of tearing air, a giant octopus tentacle as thick as a pillar drew near.
It was the Eight-Tailed Beast, Gyuki! After being struck by Jinzo Akado's Super Push Palm and sent flying, it had finally returned.
"Sage Art: Amanomurakumo Sword!"
Dohei's right hand reached out and directly 'drew' a beautiful long sword of celestial blue from the flames.
I'm not sure if its power has increased, but this scene is truly awe-inspiring and cool.
Strength is temporary, but being cool is a lifelong matter.
With the Sword of the Thunder God in hand, he swung it in a swift slash.
As the long sword's blade extended during the strike, it quickly grew to over ten meters in length, then sliced through the several-meter-thick, tens-of-meters-long tentacles that were being drawn in.
Swish!
With a crisp cutting sound, the tentacles, which were being pulled with terrifying force, were instantly severed by his sword.
The cut was as smooth as a mirror, indicating that there was no hesitation at all during the slicing.
Moreover, a meaty scent lingered in the air.
Wait a minute?
Although the body of the Eight-Tailed Ox-Demon was composed of chakra, it was indeed incredibly mysterious to be able to behave like a real flesh-and-blood body.
Although this was unscientific, it was very much in line with the principles of ninjutsu, so Dohei had no intention of investigating further. Instead, he calmly looked at the enormous Eight-Tailed Ox-Demon in front of him.
"Is that all?"
He taunted indifferently.
In Sage Mode, he didn't know what 'human affairs' meant unless Dohei actively switched personalities.
So he genuinely felt that the tailed beast form of Kirabi was far inferior to the human form and the partial tailed beast form in terms of strength.
Of course, this was in reference to a one-on-one fight between powerful individuals.
In a large-scale battle, the tailed beast form's effectiveness was many times greater than the human form.
"Oh, I shall shine in my attack!"
Within the Eight-Tailed Ox-Demon, Kirabi also had no intention of continuing to transform into a tailed beast.
He was well aware that if he continued to maintain the tailed beast form, he would be nothing more than a meat target against Dohei, completely unable to fight back.
Therefore, the massive Eight-Tailed Ox-Demon, as large as a small mountain, quickly retracted towards the center, eventually transforming into Kirabi, whose entire body was enveloped in red tailed beast chakra.
This was necessary!
Because the flame cloak on Dohei's body was enough to effortlessly turn flesh and blood into ashes.
Under the protection of the tailed beast chakra, he had the qualification to engage in 'close combat' with it.
"Today's Kirabi is also as powerful as the stars!"
Kirabi charged towards Dohei.
To be honest, Kirabi in this state posed a significant threat.
Whether it was taijutsu or swordsmanship, he was no weakling, and when combined with his proficiency in Lightning Style, it was enough to give him a good advantage when facing other Shadow Level Powerhouses.
If you also factor in his ability to perfectly control the tailed beast, his combat power had reached the brink of the Shadow Level.
Choking, choking!
One by one, the ninja swords were drawn from their sheaths.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, Dohei was truly inferior to his opponent.
If his swordsmanship, honed over many years, was still inferior to his, then what was the point?
However, he also had his advantages.
At the very least, the Sword of the Thunder God was too sharp, and even if Kirabi could cover the ninja sword with Lightning Style to barely withstand a few blows, he couldn't maintain contact for long.
Furthermore, Dohei could also freely control the Sword of the Thunder God, allowing it to switch between a short sword and a tens-of-meters-long sword.
At the same time, the Sage Mode also enhanced his reaction speed, strength, and perception, compensating for any shortcomings.
In his normal state, engaging in close combat with Kirabi would be asking for a beating.
However, in Sage Mode, it wasn't a problem.
Dohei wouldn't be like the future Second Pillar, getting pummeled in close combat by his opponent.
Both he and Houshi Kaise had withstood their opponents, and even Danzo and his team successfully held off the Two-Tailed Beast.
After all, the Shadow Secret Technique and the Mind Turn Technique were both powerful control-type abilities, which perfectly countered the Two-Tailed Beast's speed.
But a bigger problem emerged.
"Kill!"
"For our fallen comrades!"
"Kill them!"
...
Although the Cloud Village Army arrived a few steps behind the Fourth Raikage, they had already reached the battlefield.
It was over!
In terms of numbers and morale, the Leaf Village Forces were far inferior to the Cloud Village Army, and being ambushed, they instantly fell into chaos.
"Danzo, you and Root Division hold off the Two-Tailed Beast, we'll take charge of commanding the forces to break through!"
Nara Shikaku directly informed Danzo.
Yes, it was a notification, not a discussion, because the situation was urgent, and there was no time for lengthy deliberations.
"Alright, the Two-Tailed Beast will be held off by me and Root Division, the rest is up to you!"
Danzo also understood the situation and took on the task willingly.
For Danzo, whose condition had recovered, holding off the Two-Tailed Beast wasn't too difficult. The challenge was how to keep it a secret.
After giving instructions, Nara Shikaku retreated with Sarutobi Asuma, beginning to command the forces to break through.
