Chapter 683: The Sins of the Cloud Ninja!
Chapter 683: The Sins of the Cloud Ninja!
"I, Kirabi, with my dazzling charm, am unmatched!"
As the rap lyrics echoed in their ears, it signaled Kirabi's arrival.
Tang Ping, now an immortal, exhibited a geometric increase in his fundamental qualities.
Previously, he could only withstand super-high-speed attacks in Sage Mode, but now he could effortlessly counter them.
Phoenix Fluid Technique: Ghost Burn!
He initiated the battle with a Ninja Body Technique.
Violently, a white flame ignited in his right hand, and as his body spun and leaped, the flames encircled him like a ribbon, forming a defensive barrier.
If he could use Melting Technique, he wouldn't need this move.
But he was truly reluctant to expose his Shell Organization disguise, even though Orochimaru knew his personality and would never reveal it, making this disguise crucial.
In the world of martial arts, lacking a disguise made it genuinely challenging to get by.
Yamagawa Koji and Izumi were besieged by Chizuru, Danzo, and those peculiar samurai.
As for Minako and Kaen?
They were only being monitored by a few, but there was no intention to engage.
Evidently, they wouldn't waste their strength to provoke him until they thoroughly dealt with Tang Ping.
Sasuke and Naruto, at this moment, also forgot their original purpose and stood in awe, watching the distant battle.
This was undoubtedly the pinnacle of combat before the later Great Tree of Wood civil war.
"Hahaha, is that all?," Tang Ping's mocking voice echoed, "It's not enough; this level of strength doesn't even qualify to make me dance!"
Indeed, he felt the joy of battle.
Yes, it was like playing a game, where his godly gear crushed those previously unbeatable opponents.
Satisfying, that's the word!
He wanted to say it again.
"Lord Tang Ping, this is just the beginning, and we will definitely make you 'satisfied' today!"
Orochimaru joined the battle, and from his words, it was clear he had great confidence.
Summoning of the Dead!
With the First and Second Hokage at his disposal, she indeed had reason to be confident.
Facing this castrated version of the First Hokage, it was genuinely not difficult to defeat him.
Summoning of the Dead was an immense boost for ordinary ninjas.
Immortality!
It was genuinely powerful.
But for the strong?
It was an epic weakening.
Therefore, even against Senju Hashirama, summoned by White Zetsu's Summoning of the Dead, Tang Ping, showing only his base strength, was unafraid.
Perhaps this plan was made possible by Orochimaru's possession of Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, which boosted everyone's confidence.
One by one, powerful warriors joined the battle.
Supersonic Thunder Style Blade!
Ai arrived, her body shimmering with electricity.
Bang! Tang Ping countered with a direct punch.
Supersonic Thunder Style Blade!
Kirabi seized the opportunity to attack from the side.
His blade infused with Lightning-nature Chakra, possessed not only terrifying penetration power but also the ability to cause paralysis upon impact.
The two worked in perfect harmony, creating a formidable combination.
Compared to the Third Ninja World War, Ai and Kirabi had both made tremendous progress, and their coordination had improved as well.
The others?
They were all waiting for the right moment to strike.
In battles between powerful warriors, numbers alone don't guarantee victory.
Even with numerous allies, without prior practice and coordination, the larger the group, the more prone to errors.
For instance, when Ai and Kirabi executed the 'Absolute Bull Lightning Cleaving Hot Blade,' if someone was in their path, it could lead to accidents.
The same applied to ninjutsu!
If used recklessly, it might harm their allies more than the damage inflicted on the enemy.
Therefore, the best strategy was to have Ai, the most coordinated and formidable in close combat, and his partner test the waters and create opportunities, while the others sought chances to attack.
Just like now.
Bang!
Tang Ping was struck by Ai and Kirabi's combined attack, flying into the upper lake of the statue.
The first to react was Daioh, floating above the battlefield.
Clap! With a light clap of his hands, he aimed a small conical object at Tang Ping and shouted.
"Dust Style: Original World Separation Technique!"
A transparent dust light pillar shot towards Tang Ping, who had just stabilized himself on the lake's surface.
Before Daioh made his move, Tang Ping, preparing to dodge, found several blue water snakes coiling around his feet.
It was Orochimaru!
At this critical moment, he had outmaneuvered Tang Ping.
It must be said that despite their lack of coordination, these powerful warriors could still execute some basic teamwork based on their individual experiences.
Boom!!
The enormous dust light pillar struck the lake surface where Tang Ping stood, creating a void region with a diameter of over a dozen meters, instantly erasing any seawater that entered it.
A breathtaking spectacle unfolded, a rare sight to behold. However, none of the onlookers had the leisure to appreciate the scene, as they were all on high alert, guarding against a potential sneak attack from Tang Ping.
No one expected the renowned 'Purifying Flame' to be dealt with so effortlessly. Even with the top ninjas of the Ninja World joining forces, it didn't guarantee an instant victory against Tang Ping.
Judging by their past encounters, Tang Ping was undoubtedly stronger than any one of them.
With such a formidable opponent, if they could defeat him in a single round, there would have been no need for such a large-scale ambush.
Suddenly, several Jonin from the Cloud Village sensed something amiss.
"Over here!"
"Be careful!"
At that moment, Tang Ping had already appeared behind them, gripping a Cloud Village ninja by the neck and lifting him up like a toy, despite Tang Ping's youthful appearance, slender and handsome, standing at around 1.6 meters tall.
The Cloud Village ninja he held aloft was nearly two meters tall, robust and formidable, resembling a basketball center in build.
Tang Ping's ability to lift him was due to the ninja's legs becoming limp, as if his bones had been removed, rendering him half-paralyzed and unable to move.
"Brat, let him go!"
The Fourth Raikage, Ai, roared as he charged forward, but he was still a step too late.
"Kingetsu Yo!" Tang Ping's lips curled into a sinister smile as he uttered this name.
He converted his chakra into fire attribute and injected it into the ninja's body, then hurled him towards several other Cloud Village ninjas rushing from the side.
"Get out of the way!"
The Jonin on the platform shouted a warning.
The Cloud Village ninjas who were about to catch their comrade were too late to create distance, and the impact was unavoidable.
Boom! The thrown ninja, now above their heads, exploded like a bomb, unleashing a terrifying flame that engulfed the surrounding area.
"Damn it!"
Ai, enraged, unleashed a powerful 'Righteous Thunder Furious Thunder Axe' with all his might.
Despite its intimidating name, it was merely a jump kick delivered straight down.
The simplicity of the move didn't diminish its power, enhanced by advanced force techniques and the speed and strength of the Lightning Style Chakra Mode.
Bang! Tang Ping could have easily dodged the attack, but he chose not to... sigh, he was toying with them, effortlessly blocking the Ghost Burn with an aerial defense.
"Why is the Raikage angry? You've also destroyed countless villages and ninja clans, and you weren't unhappy when they died. Why the double standard?" Tang Ping taunted as he blocked the kick with Ghost Burn.
Among the Five Great Hidden Villages, the Cloud Village had the worst reputation for its actions.
The other villages didn't engage in wanton pillaging of external forces like the Cloud Village did.
The Cloud Village's constant raids and plundering, like the previous incident where they attempted to rob the Cedar Village and were ambushed by the Xuanyuan Clan's Explosion Worms, were not isolated incidents.
The Cloud Village's strength meant they rarely encountered unexpected setbacks, and most of the time, they emerged victorious, taking both resources and lives.
The Cloud Village ninjas were widely regarded as 'Barbarians' rather than 'Robbers' within the Ninja World, a courtesy extended due to their status as one of the Five Great Hidden Villages.
In reality, the Cloud Village was a den of robbers, engaging in arson, murder, and pillaging without restraint.
Their frequent invasions of the Leaf Village and their shakedowns were all too common.
The Cloud Village's rapid rise to power in the resource-poor Lightning Country was primarily due to their plundering ways.
It would be a mistake to assume the Cloud Village was benevolent just because of their portrayal in a manga you read in your previous life.
Damn! Those who fell victim to the Cloud Village ninjas would surely turn in their graves if they knew the truth.
Tang Ping was willing to absorb the Leaf Village and Stone Country ninjas, but he had no intention of sparing the Cloud Village ninjas, except for the attractive females.
At least his moral compass was intact, and he wouldn't overlook their dark side just because of their 'hearty' appearance.
Whoosh! Orochimaru suddenly emerged from the lake beneath Tang Ping's feet, brandishing a Kusa Naginata, forcing Tang Ping to abandon his pursuit of Ai.
Not only did Orochimaru make a move, but Han, Huangtu, and others also joined the fray, one after the other.
Evidently, they had adjusted their tactics.
