Chapter 778: Spectators Witness the Chaos!
Chapter 778: Spectators Witness the Chaos!
"Ha!" Deidara, atop his clay bird, performed hand seals and shouted.
Below, countless clay spiders, the size of marbles, rained down.
Boom! Boom!
The clay spiders exploded one after another, shattering the streets below.
While the individual explosions weren't too powerful, they were at most D-rank Katon-level strength, far less potent than the high-level Katon techniques of explosive tags.
The problem was their sheer number!
Dozens, even hundreds, of clay spiders were thrown, mercilessly bombarding the area.
Carpet Bombing!
That was the perfect description of Deidara at this moment.
This round of bombing didn't cause significant casualties, one could even say there were none, but it disrupted the encirclement formation and caused considerable damage.
Thanks to the agility of the ninjas, they weren't easily affected by the explosions, but the buildings weren't so fortunate.
After the barrage, half the street was destroyed.
Even with ninjutsu, it would take at least several A-rank or higher techniques to achieve such destruction.
But for Deidara, this was merely a 'basic' level of destruction.
It must be said that despite his shortcomings, when it came to sheer destructive power, Deidara was at the pinnacle, comparable to the strength of a Super Kage.
The only reason he couldn't maintain this level was that his hand-crafted 'nuclear bombs' could only be used once; if he could use them repeatedly, he would instantly reach the T0 tier in the version.
The power was on par with the Star-Shattering Spear and the Top-Tier Buddha Transformation!
He was like an unstoppable force.
It can only be said that when it came to destructive power, the explosive clay was truly top-notch.
Of course, Deidara was able to focus on bombing because of the assistance of the Third Kazekage's human puppet.
This 'Strongest Kazekage' was genuinely formidable, effortlessly holding back the Konoha aerial ninjas' assault.
While the aerial battle appeared intense, the ground combat was what truly decided the outcome.
Slap! Jiraiya clapped his hands, and frog-like features appeared on his face, his aura suddenly changing.
"Sage Mode!"
Fukasaku and Shima, perched on his shoulders, had been gathering natural energy, enabling him to enter Sage Mode in one go.
While Jiraiya's Sage Mode had its flaws, it also had its advantages.
The ability to gather natural energy and pass it to the two sages on his shoulders meant that as long as his chakra was sufficient, he could sustain this state for an extended period, unlike other Sage Modes.
Five minutes of battle, two hours of charging!
With the long-lasting Sage Mode and the assistance of two powerful Kage-level sages, their combined might was at its peak.
This was evident even in the original storyline.
Without the 'First Encounter Kill' and 'Mentor's Revenge' boosts, Nagato might not have been able to defeat Jiraiya so easily.
Especially after learning about the 'Shinra Tensei' and 'Bansho Tenin' techniques, Jiraiya's fight against Pain was completely one-sided.
If Nagato had chosen to go all out and use the 'Ultra Shinra Tensei', he could have turned the tide of the battle.
But having used it against Otsutsuki Urashiki a few months ago, and with his life force significantly drained, using it again would have been a death sentence.
In the original storyline, he had used this technique with the determination to die if he failed.
In this life, influenced by Tang Ping, Hinata had purchased life-enhancing potions, improving his physical condition beyond the original storyline, thus avoiding disaster.
While things were better, they couldn't afford to be reckless.
So, the 'Ultra Shinra Tensei' was completely out of the question.
For Nagato, the Ten-Tails was the top priority, and he wouldn't dare act recklessly before that.
"Sage Technique: Great Spiraling Sphere!"
Jiraiya, with the help of Fukasaku and Shima on his shoulders, fought several opponents single-handedly, including Hinata, Sasuke, and Kujaku.
A divine strike with the force of a thousand hammers!
The rhythm of the battle was fierce.
Biruhu was handled by Asama, while Danzo faced off against Kakashi.
As for Scarlet Sand Scorpion, the various ninja clans took care of him.
The battle raged on.
Buzz!
A massive barrier flashed into existence, separating this area from the rest of the village.
In the past, Konoha didn't have such a barrier.
As the strongest ninja village, they never imagined anyone daring to cause trouble within their walls.
But after Akatsuki's raids, the Uchiha clan massacre, the Chuunin Exams incident, and more, their confidence in the village's security had vanished.
To ensure the village's safety, a barrier was directly set up.
This guaranteed that during critical moments, the battlefield could be swiftly divided using the barrier, preventing the flames of war from spreading to more areas.
Oh right, among those dispatched from Konoha, there were some special individuals.
"Rinnegan (Rasengan)!"
A young boy with golden hair and blue eyes directly molded a Rasengan and rushed towards the besieged Scarlet Sand Scorpion.
Team 7!
They were no longer mere Ninja Academy students, and they were specifically assigned to this mission.
After all, Yamato was an essential combat force, and with the 'Nine-Tails Jinchuriki' in the team, a powerful asset, it was natural to have them participate in the battle.
Even though Jiraiya greatly valued Naruto, he knew it was impossible to keep him from fighting, so after careful consideration, he intentionally sent him into battle.
Once the situation turned unfavorable, the Leaf Village would have a backup plan.
"Super Beast Illusion!"
Sai also assisted in the attack from the side.
"Wood Style: Great Forest Technique!"
Yamato directly initiated the battle with his Wood Style.
His Wood Style was no longer a secret, so there was no need for secrecy.
And he was absolutely the bane of the Scarlet Sand Scorpion's existence, which was why the assignments were made this way.
The most regrettable thing for the Leaf Village was the absence of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans in the village.
If these two great clans were present, today's arrangements wouldn't be so strained, and they wouldn't even need to deploy the unstable Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Of course, the Aburame and other clans were also absent, but their impact was far less than that of the two great clans.
The consequences of past actions were now coming back to bite them!
However, in a corner of the barrier, two figures stood atop a high vantage point, overlooking the battlefield below.
"Not bad, that Fire Release was used well!"
"Tch, can't you even see that I'm deliberately luring them?"
"Is Akatsuki's teamwork that good?"
"Fight, come on, use your ultimate!"
...
Tang Ping's excited voice kept echoing from behind his bone mask.
Well, they had just arrived from the Hokage Rock.
To be a true spectator, one must be at the forefront of the action.
Anyway, no amount of reconnaissance would reveal their presence.
The two of them were standing right there, yet neither side could detect them.
Witnessing Akatsuki's Sky Team's performance after assembling, Tang Ping could only describe his feelings with one word.
Awesome! At least, that's how he felt as someone who enjoyed the spectacle without concern for the consequences.
However, he couldn't guarantee the mental state of those being ganged up on by Akatsuki.
They were definitely not having a good time!
After all, there were already over a hundred casualties.
The besieging forces were all elites, and the casualties were significant.
The strongest fighters were undoubtedly Jiraiya, Pain, Hinata, and a few others on the battlefield, but the most dangerous battle was undoubtedly the one-on-one fight happening elsewhere.
Kakashi vs. Danzo!
No one interfered in their battle.
On Danzo's side, no one would help him, and on Kakashi's side, he had ordered his team to support other areas, leaving him to deal with Danzo, the rogue ninja.
"Danzo, you didn't expect this, did you?"
Kakashi stared at the figure before him and drew the fang-like short sword from his back.
White Fang Blade!
This blade was the creation of White Fang.
Zira!
A Lightning Release chakra glow flickered on the White Fang Blade.
Thousand Birds Blade!
As a super genius, he had once 'overpowered' Tang Ping, and his talent was unquestionable.
His progress in Lightning Release was undoubtedly superior to anyone else's.
And Kakashi could also acquire Tang Ping's Lightning Release.
He just didn't want to reveal it before.
Today was the time to showcase it, and the reason was easy to fabricate.
His own research!
For someone who had researched and developed the 'Thousand Birds' technique in his teens, learning the enemy's Lightning Release and then referencing and researching it was not an impossible task.
"Son of White Fang, do you think you can avenge White Fang with your current strength?"
Danzo naturally sensed the killing intent from Kakashi but didn't take it too seriously.
He didn't regret his past actions and would do the same again if given the chance.
Daring to take the Hokage's sleeve was already a death wish.
"Is that so!"
Kakashi lowered his gaze and launched his attack.
