Chapter 572 Crush the Rock Barrier!
Boom! Boom!
Two extremely muffled explosions rang out in the sky.
One of the stone pillars grazed past Onoki's ribs, the violent airflow tearing his Tsuchikage robe to shreds.
The other stone pillar struck him squarely in the chest.
"puff!"
The mighty Third Tsuchikage, a renowned user of Dust Release who shook the ninja world, was blasted away solidly by his own village's Earth Release technique.
Onoki lost his balance in mid-air and flew more than ten meters away while screaming in pain.
"Sparashi~~"
Orochimaru stood on the ground, a strange laugh of extreme pleasure emanating from his throat.
The feeling of striking the enemy's strongest forces by using precise calculations to exploit their folly is even more intoxicating than studying a perfect living specimen.
Science truly is the truth that transcends all ninjutsu.
Sarutobi-sensei is right. As long as you grasp the laws governing the operation of all things, even the Third Tsuchikage is nothing more than a string of data that can be manipulated.
On the other side of the battlefield.
Tsunade stepped on the shattered rock armor and kicked the unconscious Huang Tu away.
She looked up at the rolling black dot in the sky.
He spat on the ground.
"To be old and not die is to be a thief. At such an advanced age, to still wander around in the sky like a young person, it's no wonder someone gets shot in the back."
The satire was undisguised in its plain language.
Compared to the ease with which the Legendary Sannin of Konoha handled the situation.
The entire Iwagakure camp fell into an eerie, deathly silence.
All the Iwagakure ninjas, brandishing kunai and ready to charge, stood frozen in place, mouths agape.
The front.
The two Chunin, who were still using Earth Release hand seals, were completely petrified.
The one on the left is called Atu.
The one on the right is called Ayan.
The two stared at each other, their bodies trembling like leaves.
A-Tu swallowed hard, his teeth chattering.
"You did it."
Ayan's eyes were practically bulging out, and his voice was distorted with extreme terror.
"Bullshit! I lost my chakra because you channeled it into my hand!"
"What the hell... If you hadn't been aiming at that white-haired kid, why would I have followed suit!"
"That white-haired brat dodged it! Who would have thought the Tsuchikage was right above him!"
The two poor Chunin had never encountered anything like this in their lives.
What level of social media frenzy is this?
At a crucial moment in the battle between the two armies, they used a low-level earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) to send their own supreme commander flying.
If this matter is reported back to the village.
No, there's no need to report back to the village.
That single impact was enough to make them hang on the pillar of shame in Iwagakure's history for hundreds of years.
"Oh no, I just promised my wife I'd buy a new house when we get back..."
A-Tu's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, covering his head and wailing.
The last straw that broke the camel's back.
Morale, that thing, had already flown to the ends of the earth the moment they saw their own earth shadow being pierced and sent flying by their own stone pillar.
The invincible aura that Onoki had previously cultivated was shattered in this farcical scene.
The once unyielding will of rock has been reduced to a thin sheet of paper that can be easily punctured.
Onoki frantically circulated his chakra in mid-air.
Although the impact didn't break through his defenses, the physical shock directly exacerbated the lumbar spine misalignment.
pain.
The pain was excruciating, like having your bones ripped out.
"You bastard! Who used earth magic down there?!"
Onoki steadied himself, one hand on his lower back, and cursed loudly in mid-air.
He, who always held himself in high esteem, was almost killed by his own people. This humiliation was even more unbearable than being disintegrated by the Dust Escape Technique.
His chest heaved violently, as if he wanted to bury all those idiots below him.
Orochimaru watched the show leisurely from the sidelines.
Hands clasped together.
"This is truly remarkable. It seems the internal cohesion within Iwagakure is even more chaotic than the bacterial communities we've observed in the laboratory. This kind of infighting must perfectly align with your Will of Rock."
Jiraiya was still falling in mid-air at this moment.
That extreme twisting motion just now had taken a lot of his energy.
"Hey Orochimaru, next time you use a tactic like this, can you at least give me a heads-up? What if I reacted a fraction of a second too late, and that old man has already turned me into atoms?"
"If you need to be informed in advance, it means your reaction time is not good enough and you need to improve your training."
Orochimaru said without turning his head, "Besides, didn't you dodge it? That proves my judgment was correct. That's what it means to have a correct result, so the process must be reasonable."
Jiraiya was speechless for a moment.
What kind of damn nonsense is this?
Although it sounds reasonable, something still feels off.
"..."
Jiraiya breathed in the blood-smelling air.
Looking up at Onoki, who was clutching his back in a fit of rage, and then down at the group of Iwa ninja who were completely devastated.
His cheeks twitched, revealing a wild smile.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The enemy's formation was thrown into chaos.
My teacher taught me that if you can't defeat an enemy in one strike when they expose a fatal weakness, it would be an insult to the ninja profession.
Since it is difficult to completely defeat Onoki under normal circumstances.
Then we'll have to use our trump card.
We must not give that old fox time to regroup.
Jiraiya rapidly formed hand seals in the air.
Bang bang bang!
Three plumes of white smoke exploded in succession.
Three identical Jiraiya shadow clones appeared in mid-air around him.
Gravity came into play at that moment, and all four bodies began to fall simultaneously.
"Could you help me stand on my tiptoes?"
Jiraiya, the true form of the body, let out a low shout.
The first shadow clone at the bottom suddenly adjusted its posture, crossing its arms in front of its chest.
The main body's foot landed precisely on the first clone's arm.
boom!
The clone used the force to push the main body upwards, then turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Then came the second clone.
Then came the third clone.
Using the continuous pedal effect of the shadow clones, Jiraiya managed to slow his descent in mid-air, where there was nowhere to take hold, and gained a period of time to hover in the air.
Orochimaru, who was below, keenly sensed the anomaly.
He looked up slightly at his white-haired companion in mid-air.
The chilling smile faded slightly.
"Oh? So they're finally going to use that trick. The stats are really something to look forward to."
Tsunade also stopped what she was doing.
She knew very well what Jiraiya's starting stance represented.
That guy who's usually so carefree is a monster that even the Hokage praises highly when he gets serious.
"Let's finish this quickly. I don't want to stay in this place full of rock debris for even a second longer."
Tsunade clenched her fists, her joints cracking crisply, ready to coordinate with Jiraiya's fatal blow at any moment.
The wind howled.
The smoke of battle swirled around the white figure in mid-air.
Jiraiya's breathing became extremely long.
He stared at Onoki, who was about to reassemble his chakra above him.
At low altitude, a wildly arrogant smile spread across his face.
"Although it's a bit of a stretch..."
"But we have no choice but to go!"
