Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

Chapter 391: No, this is… Flying Thunder God Technique! (Bonus Chapter)

The Kusanagi Blade, already converted into a magical artifact, also lengthened instantly, meeting the Vajra Indestructible Staff head-on.

The two massive weapons clashed and separated in an instant, emitting a teeth-grinding metallic collision sound.

Shimizu hadn't expected that the Third Hokage, who had been sitting in Konoha Village for many years, would actually step onto the battlefield again.

Moreover, his purpose upon appearing was himself.

Jiraiya's tall and sturdy figure appeared, with two old toads on his broad shoulders.

As expected, it was an ambush targeting him. Even Jiraiya was prepared, summoning the toads that require a long time to summon in advance.

This time, it might be a little tricky.

"Frog Kata!"

A sense of unknown threat assailed him, but even with Shimizu's sensory abilities, it was difficult to detect.

Frog Kata, a unique Sage Technique of Mount Myōboku, utilizes hard-to-perceive natural energy to expand the attack range.

"Clang! ~"

The magnificent Great Ivan puppet appeared in front of Shimizu, using its steel-forged breastplate to block the attack, allowing Shimizu to launch his next attack.

This puppet, like Platinum, has been completely converted into a magical artifact from the inside out, with a comprehensive rating reaching S-!

"Hiruzen, you have to be careful. The power of that Kusanagi Blade is unexpectedly strong. Even my Vajra Indestructible Body has been chipped. I am also in danger of being injured by that sword."

The voice of Enma echoed from the Vajra Indestructible Staff in the Third Hokage's hand.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru were both knocked back, shouting.

"I know, so this time, we must leave this guy behind no matter what!"

Orochimaru replied in a hoarse voice.

To this day, everyone realized that as long as Shimizu was still around, Konoha would have no chance of defeating Sunagakure!

Not only because of the various changes he brought to Sunagakure Village, but also because of his powerful strength, which faintly surpassed the current Five Kage and aimed for the new pinnacle of the ninja world!

This is the strongest single combat power that has appeared in the ninja world since the death of Hashirama Senju!

Not to mention that this guy is not even sixteen years old, and his strength has the potential to go even further.

The Third Hokage had always been worried that the Uchiha clan would produce another Madara Uchiha, but as it seems now, the next person with this level of combat power is likely to appear in Sunagakure Village!

If this guy is allowed to continue to become stronger, Konoha currently does not have a second Hashirama to resist him.

Shimizu is now Konoha's mortal enemy!

A great threat that must be eliminated at all costs!

"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"

"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!"

In the instant of repelling Orochimaru and Jiraiya, a number of well-trained Konoha ninjas spontaneously cast joint ninjutsu, attacking Shimizu.

These ninjutsu, jointly cast by hundreds or thousands of people, with enormous power, are the reason why large-scale ninja units have the confidence to confront Kage-level powerhouses!

One after another, frozen explosive tags flew out from the Blue Spring, turning into solid ice prisons, blocking the joint ninjutsu.

However, the next moment, five powerful ninjutsu, several times stronger than these joint ninjutsu, attacked Shimizu.

"Five Release: Great Consecutive Shots Technique!"

Four shadow clones appeared beside the Third Hokage, launching an attack on Shimizu together.

This ninjutsu is not like the joint ninjutsu cast by the ninjas of Konoha, which relies on quantity to win, but rather a delicate integration of the nature transformation and shape transformation of the five elemental ninjutsu, which mutually promote and strengthen each other, resulting in extremely astonishing destructive power and attack.

The ice prison shattered in response, but a terrifying storm swept within.

A surging hurricane accompanied by lightning emerged, sweeping across the earth like a natural disaster.

A shadow clone also stood beside Shimizu, one casting Wind Release and the other casting Lightning Release.

"Such powerful Wind Release and Lightning Release."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the lightning storm hurricane in front of him with a solemn expression.

Even as a master of ninjutsu, he would have to admit defeat in this regard.

Ninjutsu, puppetry, swordsmanship, as well as a large number of inventions and system reforms, is this guy really only less than sixteen years old?

In the past, the Third Hokage believed that the young people in the village, such as Minato, might not be much worse than Shimizu of Sunagakure, but now, even if he had confidence in Minato Namikaze's talent, he was not sure now.

This great enemy of Konoha must be eliminated at all costs today!

"Sage Art: Goemon!"

Jiraiya stood on top of Gamabunta's head, spitting fire from his mouth, while Shima and Fukasaku on his shoulders spewed oil and wind, jointly casting Sage Art.

Shimizu's ninjutsu was too powerful, and only by using Sage Art was it possible to overcome it.

"Jiraiya, I'll help you."

Orochimaru formed hand seals, leading the Wind Release squad of Konoha ninjas to jointly cast ninjutsu.

"Wind Release: Tornado Hurricane!"

The gale howled, merging with the fire sea of Goemon, turning into a fire tornado no less in scale than Shimizu's lightning dragon tornado, colliding with it.

A earth-shattering explosion, accompanied by hurricane-like shockwaves, swept through the Konoha camp.

The Konoha ninjas had to cast defensive ninjutsu to block the aftermath of the explosion.

The commotion was so great that it even caused a small earthquake, which was noticed by Rasa and Yekura, who were leading their teams towards the direction from afar.

"Speed up, Shimizu has already engaged with the people of Konoha."

Yekura looked up at the sky, anxiously.

"You and I are faster, go support first, leave the people behind to Jonin Chiyo and Sasori to command."

Rasa nodded to Yekura, stepping on sand gold.

To this day, the once unruly Value Bro has been completely convinced by Shimizu.

In terms of strength, the two were already not on the same level, and in terms of ability, it was even more so.

This war has proven from multiple perspectives that Shimizu has crushed him in many aspects.

Rasa asked himself, if it were him, his expression might not even be half of Shimizu's. Without Shimizu, they might still be in the Land of Rivers, fighting a war of attrition with Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Turning the perspective back to Shimizu's location.

The battle continues.

The appearance of the Third Hokage was quite unexpected for Shimizu.

In terms of strength, this old geezer might be half a point stronger than the Third Kazekage.

Because he has no shortcomings, with many methods, there is only the possibility of you being restrained by him when fighting, not him being restrained by you, and you can only resist with hard power.

Orochimaru is actually somewhat similar, but he is not as fierce as the Third Hokage in head-to-head confrontations, but his methods are no less bizarre. He has caught opportunities several times, but this slippery guy can always escape.

Adding to that, Jiraiya, who can use Sage Mode and has explosive power not much weaker than the Third Hokage, plus the surrounding Leaf Village ninjas, even Shimizu felt some pressure.

However, after this battle, Shimizu had almost figured out the limit of his own strength.

He estimated it was about the same as Pain.

He could kill one Kage.

If it were two, it would be like the last great war when he faced Jiraiya and Orochimaru together; he could win, but if they were determined to run and not fight to the death, it would be difficult to kill them, at most leaving them seriously injured.

If it were three, then the outcome would be hard to predict.

Especially this time.

The strength of the Third Hokage and Jiraiya could be ranked in the top tier of Kage-level masters, plus Orochimaru, the tacit understanding of the three masters and disciples over the years, even Shimizu found it quite difficult to fight, plus the three thousand ninja surrounding him, it was really quite troublesome.

Shimizu's chakra reserves were sufficient, and his body's recovery ability was also very strong, so he could keep going, but it was hard to say whether those five puppets could last.

If the fight lasted too long, and the puppets were scrapped later, and his combat power was damaged, he might be at a disadvantage.

However, his own safety was worry-free.

Unless he encountered a very powerful sealing technique to seal himself, there was no possibility of being killed.

And the premise of sealing himself was to find an opportunity to briefly control himself.

However, he also had the Blood Demon Art Flying Thunder God, which he could use to escape when in danger.

And this information should still be unknown.

The newest novels are at 69shu!

Putting it to use now could be used to scheme against them.

"Ten Thousand Snake Net!"

"Wind Cutter Technique!"

The group of snakes was cut and shattered by the wind blades, Shimizu glanced at Orochimaru, then raised his sword and teleported, avoiding the next attack.

This snake's hard power was the weakest of the three, but it was the hardest to kill, with too many life-saving cards; using the opportunity to kill on Orochimaru would be a waste.

Then what about Jiraiya?

"Detachment Breathing · Seventh Form · Detachment Mirror!"

A round of blue sun rose, then shattered with a bang.

Scattered white hair flew everywhere, Jiraiya narrowly but appropriately avoided Shimizu's attack, and took the opportunity to cover the Third Hokage's upcoming attack.

This guy has Sage Mode, his perception and reaction power have been elevated to an extremely high level, the unexpectedness of Flying Thunder God may be successful, but there is also the possibility of failure.

Then the remaining choice is self-evident.

Kusanagi Sword deflected the Vajra Staff, Shimizu leaned forward, stubbornly enduring the combined attack of Orochimaru and the Third Hokage on his body, giving the old man a sword, and cutting a shallow cut on his chest.

"Old man! Be careful, there's poison on the sword!"

Jiraiya hurriedly reminded him, then launched the Lion's Mane Technique, and together with Orochimaru's Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, held back Shimizu.

The Third Hokage's expression was calm, without the slightest hesitation, a circle of tiny wind blades appeared on his fingers, cutting off the discolored flesh near the wound, then releasing a simple healing technique, tearing off a corner of his clothes to wrap it up to prevent the wound from bursting, and then continued to wave the Vajra Staff and rush forward.

As a professor of ninjutsu, his medical ninjutsu was far less specialized than Tsunade's, but his ninjutsu level and chakra manipulation ability were well-established, and he could quickly master most conventional medical ninjutsu.

"Troublesome dead snake."

Shimizu waved his hand, and Da Ivan and Miss Qiu together poured various weapons onto the battlefield in all directions.

There were missiles, exploding kunai, senbon, shuriken, indiscriminately shooting and killing a large number of snake groups on the ground.

In the melee, Orochimaru's frontal threat was not great, but it was annoying enough, and he could always create opportunities for others.

Especially these seemingly endless snake groups, which were not very threatening, but were annoying enough.

Of course, Shimizu's clearing the field was also to create opportunities for himself.

"Third Hokage! I have sensed two powerful chakras approaching this place!"

A Yamanaka clan sensory ninja with golden hair in a high ponytail suddenly said loudly.

The Third Hokage's eyes narrowed.

The Sand Village reinforcements were about to arrive.

But they still failed to take down Shimizu.

The opponent's strength was far beyond the Third Hokage's expectations, and also exceeded the expectations of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who had fought Shimizu before.

The appearance of the magic weapon Kusanagi Sword and the magic weapon puppets further increased Shimizu's strength, which was already stronger than them.

Now, even with the Third Hokage, a master at the peak of the Kage level, plus a large number of Leaf Village ninjas, they could not take down Shimizu.

They must kill the Sand Village's Release Style Shimizu before the reinforcements arrive!

Otherwise, there will never be such an opportunity in the future!

For now, we can no longer consider battle damage!

Just as the Third Hokage's thoughts flashed, his peripheral vision suddenly noticed several kunai among the flying shuriken and kunai with the word "kill" engraved on the handles as the Vajra Staff knocked them away.

That's not right!

This is…

"Detachment Breathing · Sixth Form · Detachment Dragon Night Dance!"

Shimizu's figure, accompanied by a beautiful Kusanagi Sword, instantly appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, transforming into a dragon, aiming directly at his head.

Flying Thunder God!

"Clang!"

"Puff!"

Two sounds rang out one after the other.

It was Enma who came to the Third Hokage's aid in a moment of crisis.

Well, it was aid, and also an ape hand.

This indestructible, diamond-hard arm stretched out in time, protecting Hiruzen Sarutobi's vital point on his neck, preventing the Third Hokage from dying on the spot.

But this still caused Hiruzen Sarutobi to suffer heavy damage.

A deep wound, deep enough to see the bone, appeared on the Third Hokage's abdomen.

Unsurprisingly, this injury was enough to have a significant impact on his combat power.

"What a pity."

Shimizu clicked his tongue.

He miscalculated Enma, this thing was not a simple weapon, but a conscious being, a top-level psychic beast with an indestructible body that could transform into a weapon.

But it didn't matter, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already been severely injured, and Shimizu was confident that he could leave the Third Hokage's life behind today.

Calculating the time, the Sand Village reinforcements led by Rasa and Pakura should be arriving soon.

Today is this old guy's death date!

"Old man! Are you okay!"

Jiraiya hurriedly used the Lion Rampant Hair Technique, extending his hair to pull the Third Hokage back to his side.

"Damn it, that was just now… Flying Thunder God!"

Orochimaru's face was gloomy.

He didn't expect that Shimizu was actually hiding a trump card!

With this technique, they would definitely not be able to leave Shimizu behind today!

And maybe, they would have to suffer here.
