Chapter 112: Psychic Beast, Nightmare Tapir
That guy Ohnoki really gave himself a big problem.
He actually got together with the Raikage without knowing it.
Looking at the Third Raikage in front of him calmly, Danzo thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
This is the first time he has faced a Kage-level expert since his rebirth.
The last time the two sides fought was during the First Ninja World War.
At that time, the Third Raikage had not yet fully developed the "Lightning Release Armor", so he was at a disadvantage when facing Danzo who was proficient in wind release.
Now......
Feeling the strong sense of oppression brought to him by the Third Raikage in front of him, Danzo also began to quickly mobilize the chakra in his body, ready to take action at any time.
While the two were confronting each other, Kakuzu, with the help of Sakumo, retreated behind Danzo with the Senbiki.
"Ahem, Master Danzo..."
Hatake Sakumo's face was pale, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth as he coughed.
The Raikage's previous attack caused varying degrees of damage to his internal organs. If not treated in time, it would easily leave sequelae.
"Let's go down and rest for a while."
He shook his head, signaling Sakumo not to say anything more. Then, a medical ninja from the team of ninjas brought by Danzo stepped forward and helped Sakumo to the side.
"This guy is not easy to deal with."
Having lost two hearts, Kakuzu was on the verge of exploding, with an unhappy look on his face, but the opponent's powerful strength made him dare not act rashly.
"I know."
Danzo nodded.
"You guys go and help Orochimaru retreat, leave this to me."
The situation at Orochimaru's place isn't much better than here.
That guy Ohnoki is more difficult to deal with than the Sandaime Raikage.
Now we can only hope that Orochimaru and his men can hold on until Kakuzu and his men arrive.
If Hiruzen could come over, then both sides would still have a chance of fighting.
But now it has been two days since I set out. Even if Hiruzen received the news and rushed here as soon as possible, he would not be able to arrive here until tomorrow.
"Ohnoki is here too, be careful."
"..."
After hearing what Danzo said, Kakuzu was speechless.
How come the planned return trip to hometown to visit relatives turned into a battle royale?
It would be fine if there was only one Raikage, but you told me that there was also a Tsuchikage waiting for me over there.
If it weren't for the fact that his foundation was all at the root, Jiao would have wanted to turn around and leave.
But things have already happened, and there is no use complaining. Let's first find a way to get Orochimaru and the others out.
"Don't die."
After leaving these words in a muffled voice, Kakuzu ran in the direction of Orochimaru and the others.
Don't get me wrong, Kakuzu is not concerned about Danzo, but is reminding him that after the matter is over, he will still have to ask Danzo for compensation.
Kakuzu, who has been wandering alone in the ninja world for decades, does not think that he has any ties with the current Konoha.
The relationship between the two parties is just a simple monetary one.
Soon, under Danzo's arrangement, he and the Raikage were the only ones left on the battlefield.
The Raikage did not interrupt Danzo's almost time-wasting arrangement, and even when the Senbiki was taken away by Fugaku and others, he did not stop it.
Aside from the fact that the Sandaime Raikage did not know what the Thousand Hibiki Stones were, the more important reason was that the Cloud Ninjas led by him were about to arrive.
The longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it will be for the Raikage.
"The art of shadow clone."
After confirming that everyone had gone far away, Danzo took the first action.
As the smoke cleared, four identical Danzo appeared in the eyes of the Sandaime Raikage.
The speed of the Third Raikage was too fast, and the only thing he could use to restrict his movements was the Self-Binding Seal. However, in order to engrave the seal, both parties needed to have physical contact.
Danzo had no confidence that he could survive an encounter with the Raikage.
Therefore, he had only one choice, which was to suppress the opponent through large-scale wind-style ninjutsu.
"what--!!!"
Seeing Danzo release his shadow clone, the Sandaime Raikage roared like a beast and increased the output of the lightning attribute chakra covering his body.
The hair that was originally scattered behind the shoulders now stood up.
"The full power output of the Lightning Release Armor?"
Realizing that the opponent was about to attack him, Danzo immediately began to form hand seals.
"Wind Style: Suppress!" "Wind Style: Vacuum Ball!" "Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!" "Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"
"It's not over yet!"
Faced with the huge wind escape that blocked all his escape routes, along with the roar of the Sandaime Raikage, black lightning appeared on his body.
This is the black thunder developed by the Third Raikage. It has greater destructive power than ordinary lightning techniques.
"Hell Thrust·Ipponsen Hand!"
Stretching out his arms straight, the Sandaime Raikage met Danzo's Wind Style.
boom--
Along with a huge explosion, a strong air wave raised the dust all around, and the entire battlefield was covered in dust.
Putting his hands up to block the dust from blowing in his faces, Danzo and his shadow clones narrowed their eyes to look for the whereabouts of the Sandaime Raikage.
If it was the Sandaime Raikage from back then, he would have turned into a pool of minced meat by now.
But now...
crackle.
A subtle sound of electricity reached Danzo's ears.
really.
"go to hell!!!"
As the dust settled, the blood-soaked Sandaime Raikage stretched out his finger and rushed straight towards Danzo.
Danzo's wind jutsu finally tore through the Sandaime Raikage's lightning jutsu armor, but the opponent's almost abnormal physical fitness meant that the sharp wind jutsu only left scars on his body surface.
Therefore, even though the Third Raikage looked horrible with blood all over his body at this moment, it was only a superficial wound.
The deepest one stopped just before it cut into the Raikage's bones.
With his tattered thunder armor, the Third Raikage rushed up to Danzo with a ferocious face.
Pierced through three figures in a row.
Bang bang bang.
Accompanied by bursts of smoke, the first three figures were, as expected, shadow clones.
So, the last one is the real body!
"Psychicism!"
Just when the Sandaime Raikage thought the outcome was decided, Danzo's voice sounded from behind him.
【What? 】
A sound similar to that of an elephant's roar was heard, and a gigantic summoned beast appeared behind the Raikage.
Elephant trunk, tiger claws and huge tusks.
This is none other than Danzo's summoned beast, the Nightmare Tapir.
As early as when he first performed the Shadow Clone, Danzo's real body drilled into the ground using the Earth Style: Earth Submergence Technique.
Thanks to Orochimaru's cell-enhancing fluid, Danzo did not feel too much pressure even with four shadow clones and four extreme wind-style ninjutsu.
As the nightmare tapir inhaled, the huge attraction made the Third Raikage unable to move forward at all.
