dodge?
It was simply impossible to dodge such a dense and continuous attack.
Earth Escape?
Earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in traditional Chinese magic) can only provide temporary relief.
Under normal circumstances, Sakumo Hatake would have no choice but to fight his way out.
But under normal circumstances, he wouldn't allow so many Iwa ninja to surround him.
Earth escape—Earth flow wall!
Sakumo Hatake formed a hand seal and pressed his palms to the ground, and immediately a wall rose up from the ground on each of his four sides.
The dense barrage of iron cannon fire bombarded the rock face, creating craters.
Such a defense won't last long before it's destroyed by the Iwa ninja.
So, immediately afterward, Hatake Sakumo formed hand seals and created a shadow clone, while his main body channeled chakra into the Wind Summoning Talisman on his right wrist.
The psychic spell was activated, and a faint golden light shone from the spell.
Bang!
Smoke rose, and Sakumo Hatake's main body disappeared, leaving only his shadow clone in place.
The Iwa ninja attacking from outside were unaware of this.
Rumble!
Walls collapsed one after another with a roar. Amidst the billowing dust, lightning flashed, and Sakumo Hatake, sword in hand, rushed out and charged toward the Iwa ninja at incredible speed.
Genma's "explored" Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique was naturally not just given to Kakashi; Sakumo Hatake's Lightning Release ability has also greatly improved in the past two years.
Its speed is faster than before, reaching the limit of his neural reaction ability.
In the blink of an eye, walls were breached one after another, and before the traps could even be activated, the person had already vanished.
The Iwa ninja in charge exclaimed in surprise, "That's too fast! Even faster than before!"
"Slow down his speed!"
"Continue the attack!"
Shouts rang out one after another.
Sakumo Hatake dodged left and right, and all the sharp stone pillars that rose from the ground missed their mark.
The earth rose up ahead, transforming into a high wall.
Sakumo Hatake sped upwards, but sharp stone pillars emerged from the rock face.
The chakra blade, radiating a blazing white light, was swung, and stone pillars exploded one after another.
In the blink of an eye, Hatake Sakumo charged onto the ground, and the Iwa ninja were already close at hand.
But suddenly, Hatake Sakumo's movements became sluggish, and his feet sank into the ground.
He looked down and saw that the ground beneath his feet was cement, which was quickly solidifying.
The electric light exploded, and the solidified cement immediately cracked and then exploded.
Puff puff!
Sharp, tilted stone pillars grew out from all around, piercing through Sakumo Hatake's body as he was about to escape.
"Finally solved!"
Seeing the blood gushing from Hatake Sakumo, the Iwagakure Jonin Ishio couldn't help but wipe away his sweat.
As expected of Konoha's White Fang, he almost broke through!
Bang!
Suddenly, Sakumo Hatake, who was still bleeding, exploded into a cloud of smoke, leaving Ishio and the other Iwa ninja stunned.
Shadow—Shadow Clone?
Ishio's eyes widened: "This—how is this possible?"
"When?"
The surrounding Iwa ninja were also in an uproar.
"What happened?"
"Were they shadow clones that were surrounding us from the beginning?"
"Absolutely impossible! We injured that guy before!"
"Could they have escaped using earth magic?"
"No, we've been monitoring the underground situation ever since he used earth magic. There's absolutely no way he could have escaped from underground!"
One possibility after another was proposed, only to be quickly rejected by others.
Suddenly, Ishio thought of a possibility: "No way, could it be—"
"Spiritual communication technique—no, to be precise, it should be called reverse spiritual communication technique!"
The surrounding Iwa ninja all turned to look at Ishio.
Ishio's face darkened. "This is the only reasonable explanation!"
"That earthen wall was just to obscure our vision and lull us into a false sense of security."
Someone asked, "So, Konoha's White Fang has withdrawn from the battlefield and left the Land of Earth?"
Ishio shook his head: "He's the White Fang of Konoha, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would abandon his comrades and subordinates."
"This is probably a plan they've had for a long time."
Someone countered, "But according to intelligence, the other three guys from Konoha don't have summoning beasts with them."
Another Jonin said, "Don't forget, we especially need to pay attention to that brat named Genma Mikaze from the intelligence report. He's a disciple of Konoha's White Fang, and he could very well summon White Fang's summoning beast and then have the beast perform a reverse summoning technique!"
"If that's the case, then we're in trouble."
97
"Ishio, we must get there immediately!"
Shiwei nodded.
At this moment, everyone turned their heads to look, and saw three figures rapidly approaching from the south.
Ishio quickly recognized the newcomers: "It's Kari and the others!"
Hunting, Firelight, and Oishi arrived quickly, all looking rather grim.
"Have they dealt with Konoha's White Fang?"
After stopping, Hunti asked.
Ishio shook his head: "It's a pity, he escaped using the Reverse Summoning Technique!"
A smile appeared on Explosion Release: Hunter's face: "Reverse Summoning Jutsu?"
"Have they rejoined his men?"
Ishio nodded: "That's our deduction!"
Explosion Release Hunter looked even happier: "Excellent, I'll take care of them myself!"
Huoguang immediately said, "In that case, let's act immediately and wipe these guys out in one fell swoop."
"If we don't resolve this quickly, it will cause us a lot of trouble."
The three of them were dragged here only now by the clones of Xuanma and his two companions.
If shadow clones are this troublesome, imagine how difficult it is to deal with the original body.
If this Konoha ninja squad isn't dealt with, their supply lines will definitely be completely disrupted.
The Iwa ninja, led by the Jonin, quickly sprang into action.
at the same time.
Meanwhile, Genma and the others, having escaped the encirclement of more than twenty Iwa ninja, hid in a thicket to rest.
Sakumo Hatake's appearance brought a huge sigh of relief to everyone.
After all, they had seen Sakumo Hatake being chased by a large group of Iwa ninja from afar.
"How many Iwa ninja strongholds did you destroy?"
"I asked Hatake Sakumo."
Jingyin knelt beside him and treated his injuries.
Genma took out a soldier's ration pill and handed it to his teacher, Hatake Sakumo. Yamashiro Aoba replied, "Sakumo-sensei, we've destroyed seven so far, but the Iwa ninja have realized what's happening and are starting to set up traps instead."
After eating a soldier's ration pill, Hatake Sakumo said, "This is normal. Iwa ninja can't just sit back and take all the hits forever."
"Furthermore, the Iwa ninja should be able to find us here soon, so we can't rest for too long."
Yamashiro Aoba said, "In that case, the Iwa ninja's forces should be gathered together. They probably already number over 100, right?"
Being surrounded by more than 100 Iwa ninja, it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous!
Of course, thanks to the transformation technique of the Wind-Riding Horse, Yamashiro Aoba remained relatively calm despite being nervous.
At this moment, Genma couldn't help but feel to himself that "the cards aren't big enough," after all, the Third Raikage was besieged by thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
This shows that even though Konoha's White Fang was known to all the major ninja villages and had a great reputation, no one would treat him like the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
Hatake Sakumo didn't think he lacked prestige and decided, "After resting for a while, we'll set off to retreat. We'll withdraw by air, head south into the Land of Grass, stay there for half a day, and then re-enter the Land of Earth."
Xuanma and the other two nodded in unison without any objection.
The plan is to retreat first, wait for the Iwa ninja forces to disperse, and then infiltrate again to continue causing destruction. It's a very reasonable plan.
Ten minutes later, Shizune completely healed Sakumo Hatake's injuries.
Ten minutes later, Xuanma used his transformation spell to turn everyone into vultures again, and then they took off one after another, flying south.
About 10 minutes later, Explosion Release: Gari, Ishio, and other Jonin from Iwagakure arrived at the bushes with over a hundred people and found the bloodstained bandages left behind by Hatake Sakumo.
"It really is a reverse spirit communication technique!"
Looking at the traces left by Genma and the others, Ishio became even more certain of his conjecture.
Oishi, who was blind in one eye, said, "This is indeed the most likely possibility. Although that brat named Yufeng Genma knows space-time ninjutsu, judging from our previous encounters, his movement distance is very limited."
Huoguang quickly surveyed the surroundings and then said, "It seems the retreat was also achieved through reverse spirit communication, leaving no trace of their departure."
Explosion Release Hunter sneered: "They made a wise choice, otherwise, this would have been their burial ground."
He was a little unwilling.
He originally intended to kill those guys from Konoha to avenge himself.
Ishio's gaze swept over the traces in the bushes, but he didn't completely relax: "These guys infiltrated here to sabotage our plans, and they probably won't leave so easily."
"Make the perception team more vigilant. Once they discover anything unusual, they absolutely cannot act independently like before."
Several Jonin nodded in agreement.
Iwagaku Village, at dusk.
Onoki received the information relayed by Explosion Release: Hunting and his team, but after reading it, he couldn't help but frown: "They let the Konoha guys get away?"
"Reverse psychic abilities?"
Onoki was very unhappy. He had suffered such a great loss, yet the people of Konoha had escaped unharmed.
He looked up at his son, Huang Tu: "Send a message to Kari and Ishio: the people of Konoha won't end their harassment so easily."
"Make sure they are on their guard!"
Huang Tu nodded, and was about to turn around to deliver the message when Onoki added, "Add another 500 men, and have Higashi-no-Kami lead the team."
"500 people?"
Huang Tu was taken aback: "Even if it were Konoha's White Fang, wouldn't he need this many troops?"
Onoki was adamant: "If it really is a reverse summoning technique, then we shouldn't give them the chance to use it."
-
If a time for reverse summoning is not agreed upon beforehand, then the summoning beast must be summoned first, then the summoning must be dispelled, and then the summoning beast performs the reverse summoning technique on the other side.
This way, there's still a chance to take down Konoha's White Fang and his group.
If the enemy is prepared to retreat at any time, then the additional 500 people will prevent Konoha's White Fang and his group from causing as much destruction as before.
and----
Onoki's face was cold: "If the people of Konoha really withdraw, then if the Grass Village doesn't cooperate with us, we'll attack the Land of Grass first!"
Huang Tu's expression turned serious upon hearing this, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, I understand!"
Now is indeed not a good time to start a war with Konoha, but Huang Tu has no objection to attacking Kusagakure.
However, he didn't think the Grass Ninja Village would refuse to cooperate.
Now that Amegakure has taken over the Land of Rivers, and with the support of Konoha, they are ambitious. How could Kusagakure not be afraid of Amegakure attacking the Land of Grass?
