Chapter 323 The Battle with the Third Generation
"Hiruzen, be careful, these enemies are not easy to deal with!"
A loud shout came from within the Vajra Ruyi Staff, and at the same time, a thick arm stretched out from the staff and grabbed the Earth Grudge that was attacking the Third Generation.
With a strong tug, the Earthly Grudge was completely torn apart, and then tossed aside.
The severed earth worms, like earthworms with their bodies cut off, twisted and turned on the ground before burrowing underground and disappearing.
The true form of this Vajra Ruyi Staff is actually the summoning beast of the third generation—the Monkey King, Enma.
Seeing that Hiruzen was in danger, Enma calmly dealt with the situation. He reached out from the Vajra Staff and tore off the Earth Grudge, while simultaneously channeling his own chakra into the Third Hokage to help him break free from the genjutsu.
At the same time, the ape demon clenched his other hand into a fist and slammed it directly into Ironfire's head.
The fist carried a whistling sound. Tie Huo knew he couldn't take it head-on, so he immediately released his hands, discarded the long sword, and jumped backward into the air while forming hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
Facing the Third Hokage, Tetsuka dared not underestimate him. He expended a large amount of chakra, and the flames he spewed were like a falling sun. Even Misato, who was standing dozens of meters away, had to retreat immediately to avoid being affected by the flames.
Ironfire was gambling, and even if the third generation of gamblers could quickly break the illusion, they would not be able to deal with this attack in time.
Faced with the terrifying sea of fire, Mi Shou and the others could only suspend their attack and wait for the outcome.
After all, the flames blocked their vision, making it impossible to see anyone and continue attacking. They couldn't very well charge into the sea of fire to investigate.
Tetsuka returned to Misato's side, exhaled slightly, and his Sharingan returned to the three-tomoe state.
These past few days have been filled with either fighting or traveling, and he's been using the kaleidoscope several times, which has put some pressure on him.
Not only were my chakra and stamina depleted, but my eyes also felt sore.
It's best to avoid using kaleidoscopes if possible, otherwise you might go blind and be in big trouble.
A few seconds later, the flames had just subsided somewhat, and a wall several meters high was revealed.
Orochimaru muttered under his breath, "It's that bastard Enma again."
It turns out that the wall was made of Vajra Ruyi Wand (a magical staff).
Each Vajra Ruyi is like a thick log, standing upright on the ground, closely arranged side by side to form a wall.
Suddenly, an eye opened on the central Vajra Ruyi Staff, its pupil moving left and right, clearly observing its surroundings.
“He can block our view but still observe us; this won’t do.”
Mikami sent three shadow clones to rush towards the wall, not seeking any victory, but only hoping to find out the location of the Third Hokage.
Kakuzu and Tetsuya observed their surroundings, guarding against a possible sneak attack from the Third Hokage, while Orochimaru took advantage of this rare free time to straighten his fractured right arm with his left hand.
Kakuzu multitasked, using a grime-like creature to help Orochimaru stitch up his torn flesh.
At this point, the Third Generation had broken the illusion and, through the shared vision of the Enma, knew the situation of Mikami and the others.
According to Minato Namikaze's plan, the Third Hokage delayed these four people, allowing Minato and the others to deal with the other enemies.
However, the enemy is very powerful, and Minato Namikaze may not be able to defeat them easily.
The third generation decides to risk changing their plans and fight the enemy to the death.
"I can get into trouble, but Minato absolutely cannot. Hehe, besides, at my age, this is the time for me to take risks. If I get any older, I won't have the strength to take risks anymore."
With a self-deprecating laugh, the Third Hokage created four shadow clones and then used the Hidden Mist Technique.
"First, block the enemy's line of sight."
Before the flames had died down, thick fog began to blanket the battlefield.
The sun had just set, and it was a dark time. Coupled with the thick, persistent fog, even with his Sharingan, Misato's field of vision was limited to a range of two or three meters, and he couldn't even see the nearby Tetsuka.
At the same time, his shadow clone was instantly killed as soon as it rushed into the fog, without bringing back any valuable information.
"Hey, the Hokage are about to fight to the death, shouldn't we stick together?"
Mi Shou called out in the direction of Tie Huo, and a moment later, a very calm reply came from the mist.
"If we don't give the enemy a chance, how can we lure them out of their hole?"
This guy is really confident; I bet Orochimaru and Kakuzu think the same way.
Each of them fought their own battle, each acting as bait, hoping to lure out the Third Hokage and then eliminate him.
Mi Shou had watched the anime and knew that even the Third Hokage, more than a decade later, was not to be underestimated.
If the current third generation fights desperately, just one of their Reaper Death Seals could be fatal.
As a precaution, Mi Shou created more than a dozen shadow clones to remain in place, while his main body hid underground.
According to his guess, the Hokage would probably attack either Tekka or Orochimaru first.
Of the four, Tetsuka possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, Orochimaru has mastered numerous forbidden techniques, and both are extremely powerful.
More importantly, they are all Konoha rogue ninjas. They not only possess a wealth of intelligence about Konoha, but may also have spies lurking within the village. The harm they pose to Konoha is immeasurable.
As for Kakuzu and Yamori, they were just powerful rogue ninjas, and were not really important in the eyes of the Third Hokage.
Soon, the attack came, and Mikami's shadow clones began to fight the enemy.
Various sounds of battle could be heard from the surrounding fog, especially from the northeast.
That direction seems to be where Orochimaru and Kakuzu are. It seems the Third Hokage really loves his disciples.
After waiting for a while and confirming that the third generation was only restraining him, Mimori climbed out of the ground.
At this moment, he only had four shadow clones left.
As soon as Mikami appeared on the ground, several rapidly spinning fireballs shot out from the mist. Mikami dodged to the side, and as the fireballs flew past him, he saw a rapidly spinning shuriken inside one of them.
The fireball plunged into the mist behind Misato, and soon after, it attacked again from another direction.
"Manipulating fireballs to attack from all sides to conceal their position, interesting."
Defending against fireballs is simple, but time is passing while you're defending.
The enemy is stalling for time, preventing Misato from supporting the others.
At this moment, the battle in the distance intensified, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.
Although he didn't have a good impression of Orochimaru and the others, if they were seriously injured or even killed, Mikami himself would be in danger.
Mi Shou shouted, "Cover me!" Four shadow clones immediately stood around him.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique".
Mimori created a massive waterfall that engulfed the incoming fireballs and then surged outwards.
Mi Shouze continued to form hand seals while standing on the water's surface, unleashing a large amount of lightning into the surrounding water.
Lightning accompanied the flowing water, spreading continuously around. Mi Shou remained calm and focused, carefully listening to and discerning the surrounding sounds.
If the Third Generation was going to use fire to attack him, then the location must not be far away. Sure enough, Mikami soon heard the noise.
"Southeast! Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Mi Shou blew a strong wind to temporarily disperse the fog in front of him, and saw an earthen wall blocking the flow of water.
Because of the lightning strike, the solid earthen wall had cracked in several places, and through the cracks, Mi Shou saw a figure.
The two shadow clones immediately rushed out, and in the blink of an eye they jumped over the earthen wall, only to find a wooden figure behind it.
It's a fake target!
They immediately shouted at Mi Shou, "Watch out!"
