Chapter 425: Lightning Shadow, You Don't Want Your Brother in Danger, Right?
"Taiichi!"
Dong Ping shouted.
Since the enemy was targeting them, he wouldn't hold back either.
In a one-on-one fight, Taiichi's role wouldn't be as significant at their level.
But when it came to destructive power, Taiichi could definitely grind the opponent into the ground.
Guwa!
Countless flames erupted from Taiichi's body as he circled in the sky, transforming him into a rising sun, illuminating the land below.
That's right!
Dong Ping was about to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy.
Inferno Sun!
Even Taiichi would need to rest for a while after using this move.
It was a suicidal ultimate technique.
The power of this move was determined by the amount of natural energy gathered.
Its current power far exceeded its previous strength, and he could even control it to some extent.
For example, reducing the explosion range, changing the direction of the blast, increasing the speed of the eruption... and so on.
If not for this, Dong Ping wouldn't dare let Taiichi use Inferno Sun.
Although he had intentionally created some distance with the Earth Flow Wall, the range was still less than a few hundred meters, well within the attack range of Inferno Sun. If the enemy couldn't block it, they would also be affected.
Xiong!!
Infinite light and heat erupted from Taiichi, causing the surrounding light to distort.
Then, it descended directly toward the Eight-Tailed Ogre, who was being battered by the raging floodwaters without a hint of disturbance.
It was like a slowly setting sun.
"Bii!"
Sensing the danger, the Ogre warned Killer B inside.
With this strike, even Killer B might be in trouble, let alone himself.
The Jinchuriki's weakness was the human, not the Tailed Beast.
"Yo, I got it, OK!"
Killer B controlled the Eight-Tailed Beast and leaped toward the falling Taiichi, leaving behind the Cloud Village ninjas scattered by the raging flood.
Being scattered by the flood didn't necessarily mean death, but if this 'sun' fell, everyone would perish. The choice was simple.
A decisive blow!
Dong Ping's carefully planned attack couldn't be countered so easily.
"Tailed Beast Cyclone!"
After leaping up, the Eight-Tailed Beast unleashed this powerful move in mid-air.
The eight rapidly spinning tentacles wrapped around itself, rushing toward the falling Inferno Sun.
Inferno Sun vs. Tailed Beast Cyclone!
The head-on collision of these two ultimate techniques was like Mars colliding with Earth.
Xiong!!
Infinite flames erupted suddenly.
Whoosh!
The whirlwind generated by the high-speed rotation firmly resisted the raging flames.
Fortunately, the collision occurred in mid-air; otherwise, the floodwaters might have been evaporated and blown away.
The destructive power of a Tailed Beast and a large summoned beast on the battlefield was indeed exaggerated.
It was like destroying heaven and earth.
Without countermeasures, no matter how many people there were, they would all be defeated.
Huala! Below, the raging floodwaters swept in, while the sky was a mix of raging winds and flames, making both sides' ninjas feel like they were in the apocalypse.
The Konoha side was still in a better position.
They didn't have to worry about the raging floodwaters below; they just needed to be cautious of the strong winds and flames.
But the Cloud Village side was in a dire situation.
One by one, Cloud Village ninjas were swept away by the roaring floodwaters.
Seeing this, a smile crept onto Dong Ping's face.
Yes, this was his goal.
Otherwise, did he really expect Danzo to go and blow up the mountains in advance?
Summoning Taiichi in advance was precisely to lure away the Eight-Tailed Beast, their only defense against the flood.
Even if the enemy didn't jump up to face it directly, they would still avoid Taiichi's attack, so there was no way they could continue protecting the Cloud Village ninjas behind them.
Without the Eight-Tailed Beast's protection, the Cloud Village ninjas could only face the floodwaters head-on.
It's important to understand this.
Ninjas could tread water in raging floods, but it required at least Hyper Shadow-level control.
Therefore, when facing the raging flood, treading water techniques were useless.
However, the impact of the floodwaters came and went quickly.
After the initial stage, the impact significantly decreased, and the water flow began to calm down.
With the slower current, the ninjas could move freely.
"Kujouse!"
After reminding Kujouse, Dong Ping rushed toward a figure enveloped in blue electric light.
Lightning Shadow: A!
The opponent hadn't stayed in place; they had retreated from the riverbed and were now counterattacking.
"Uchiha Dong Ping!!"
A's anger was at its peak.
He saw that teams of Konoha ninjas were jumping from the top of the Earth Flow Wall onto the river surface, pursuing the scattered Cloud Village ninjas.
As for Kirabi? He was currently being escorted away from the battlefield by the Byakugan.
After all, he had just clashed head-on with Taiichi's suicidal Omnidirectional Big Move, 'Inferno Sun', and even the Eight-Tailed Beast's Cyclone's formidable defense couldn't withstand it for long.
Note that it was Kirabi, the Jinchuriki, who couldn't hold on, not the Eight-Tailed Beast, the Octopus Ogre.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful Taiichi was, it would be impossible for him to severely injure the Eight-Tailed Beast, the second most powerful Tailed Beast after the Nine-Tails, with such ease.
A bold move!
Dong Ping directly used Taiichi to render Kirabi combat-ineffective.
A fair trade!
It was a very wise exchange.
And the reason he could do this was entirely because, against Taiichi's Inferno Sun, Kirabi had nowhere to escape, and he could only choose to take the hit head-on.
Otherwise, no matter how exaggerated the power of Inferno Sun was, with such a long charging time and descent speed, even ordinary lower-ranked ninjas could easily dodge it, let alone a Jinchuriki.
Regarding Inferno Sun's weakness, Dong Ping naturally understood it better than anyone, which was why he deliberately created a situation where Kirabi had no choice but to take the hit.
The result was very satisfying for him.
In one move, Kirabi was forced out of the battle.
Although he didn't kill his opponent, at the very least, his opponent wouldn't be able to make a move for a while.
After dealing with his opponent, their side gained the upper hand in terms of powerful individuals.
The key was that the Cloud Village ninjas had already been scattered, and their numerical advantage couldn't be utilized, so they could easily suppress the enemy.
If the enemy was smart enough, they would realize the situation was hopeless and, to avoid heavy losses, they should retreat immediately.
After all, their forces were merely scattered, not annihilated by a flood, and there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
If they continued to persist, anything could happen.
Even the Lightning Shadow might have continued recklessly, but wasn't there the strategist, Tadao, to ensure the Cloud Village ninjas didn't make the wrong choice?
"Thunder Devastation Dance!"
A performed this Ninjutsu Taijutsu.
The name sounded powerful, but in reality, it was just a high-flying downward-chopping hand blade.
However, its power was incredibly exaggerated under the Lightning Chakra Mode.
The Third Raikage had used this technique to sever one of the Eight-Tailed Beast's horns.
Even Susanoo could be cleaved by it.
Ziz!
Dong Ping felt the threat.
Xiong! Layer upon layer of white flame robes enveloped his body, and then he swung his right fist.
"Savage Bite!"
In Sage Mode, his Golden Phoenix-style Ninjutsu Taijutsu had improved significantly.
Their fists collided.
Xiong! Zi!
The flames and currents intertwined.
The flames and currents on both bodies seemed to come alive, desperately trying to penetrate the other, but they were all blocked by the flames and lightning on their opponent's body.
After the clash, both of them fell, exhausted.
Ta!
Dong Ping stepped onto the undulating water surface.
He relaxed at this moment because, from the moment Kirabi left the field, and the Cloud Village ninjas were scattered, he had already won.
"I never thought..."
A stood on the water's surface a dozen meters away, gazing at the figure before him and sighing.
He never expected that their side, which had such a significant advantage, would end up in this situation.
Looking at his opponent's resentful expression, even the personality-switching Dong Ping couldn't help but mock him in his heart.
'I prefer your defiant attitude. Please switch back!'
Before this, his opponent had been acting like an overbearing CEO, either trying to recruit or persuade him to surrender, and now, he had suddenly changed his style, which was indeed hard to accept.
"You Leaf Village ninjas won't always be this lucky!"
A spoke harshly.
It seemed he was preparing to leave.
"Is that so?"
Dong Ping neither agreed nor disagreed.
Whether the Leaf Village was lucky or not had nothing to do with him.
If it weren't for the Byakugan Wolf's interference, he wouldn't have taken action; he would have continued to idly watch the show.
"Hmph!"
A turned and left.
At this moment, Tadao was gathering the scattered Cloud Village ninjas, and he had to go help.
Meanwhile, the Leaf Village ninjas assembled around Dong Ping, but now it was no longer a good time to take advantage of the 'drowning dog.'
"Let's go!"
Looking at the group of Leaf Village ninjas, Dong Ping turned and left.
A would soon lead the Cloud Village army out of the Fire Country's borders.
The reason could be described in one sentence.
'Lightning Shadow, you wouldn't want your brother to get into trouble, would you?'
Currently, the opponent was heavily injured, and the top priority was to escort him back, not to continue fighting the Leaf Village to the bitter end.
If there was hope, it would be fine.
The problem was there was no hope, so retreating was the only choice.
