The Third Hokage Was Out of Options Too

This moment—

Lightning Release: False Darkness!

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough arrives simultaneously.

Furthermore, Fire Release, Wind Release, and Earth Release reinforce each other, forming a three-in-one combination, while Water Release and Lightning Release complement each other, roaring as they break through the air.

Its power was so great that the air itself was distorted and the earth itself trembled and cracked!

Compared to this attack, even the Void Dog Cannon is nothing special!

"It's here! It's the Lord Hokage's ultimate technique: the Great Combined Ninjutsu: Five Elemental Attack! It's said to be as powerful as a Tailed Beast Bomb!"

"The White Cold Light is doomed; he has no chance of blocking it!"

The Konoha Ninja were quite excited to see this.

However, Ye Liangnai was completely unfazed, and slammed her hand seals onto the ground. "Barrier Jutsu: Six Pillars Flame Formation!"

"Boom!"

Six Paths pillars of flame rose into the air, then extended into a hexagonal crimson barrier, colliding with the incoming attack.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the earth trembled, the wind and waves raged, and a terrifying temperature spread outwards, forcing everyone around to retreat hastily.

However, no matter how strong the power of the burst was, the barrier remained unmoved, showing no signs of strain.

"How is this possible? Why is it completely useless!"

"No, this can't be real!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the Konoha Ninja who had retreated to a distance all showed expressions of disbelief.

They were even somewhat devastated; the enemy's strength far exceeded their comprehension.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Formation!"

While inside the barrier, Ye Liangnai didn't sit idle for a moment, summoning powerful lightning to strike the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he quickly dodged.

His face turned somewhat grim, and he thought to himself, "Is it really that terrifying? Even my ultimate move is ineffective?"

In his mind, the Great Combined Ninjutsu: Five Elemental Attack was a world-destroying move.

Even this tactic didn't work, and for a moment he really felt like he had run out of ideas.

Especially considering that the Enma was severely injured and his fate was unknown.

"Third Hokage, what happened? You look so disheveled!"

Just as he was dodging the raging lightning that was closing in on him, Ye Liangnai's mocking voice suddenly came.

"!!!"

He quickly shot Kunai in the direction from which the sound came.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The Kunai blocked, but the Third Hokage had no chance to attack.

Because violent lightning was still falling from the sky, he couldn't concentrate on forming hand seals.

Fortunately, he dispelled the Shadow Clone in time, without wasting any extra Chakra.

"Lord Hokage, I'm here to help you!"

At that moment, a group of Anbu rushed in, and Inoichi Yamanaka finally found an opportunity to intervene.

The battle between the Third Hokage and Ye Liangnai was too intense for him to intervene.

"So what if there are more? Do you think that will change the fact that Konoha was defeated?"

Ye Liangnai brandished her sword and sneered, then pointed to the sky and shouted, "Wild Thunder, fall!"

Suddenly, what were originally just streaks of lightning turned into a torrential downpour, covering an area of several dozen meters in radius.

"Not good!"

Inoichi Yamanaka and the others' expressions changed, because they had no time to dodge.

"Earth Release · Earth Corridor!"

Upon seeing this, the Third Hokage quickly formed hand seals to create a defense, protecting Inoichi Yamanaka and the others inside.

With their strength, they couldn't withstand such a terrifying lightning attack.

"Bang!"

Even with the Third Hokage personally taking action, the Earth Corridor couldn't hold out for long.

In just two seconds, it cracked open under the bombardment of twenty-three bolts of Wild Thunder.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

But just before the Earth Corridor was breached, a proud Mogura burst forth from beneath Ye Liangnai's feet, forcing him to retreat hastily.

The lightning was weakened considerably because he was distracted.

The Third Hokage swiftly patched up the crack in the Earth Corridor, protecting Inoichi Yamanaka and the others from the lightning strike.

Earth Release: Mud River!

Ye Liangnai, who had retreated, was not given a chance to land.

The Third Hokage, through the Earth Corridor, transformed the ground beneath Ye Liangnai's feet into a raging river of mud and debris.

"As expected of the Third Hokage!"

Ye Liangnai sighed helplessly, because he didn't want to be swept away, but he had no choice but to be swept away.

After all, he couldn't fly, and he couldn't get any leverage in the air, so he could only fall into the muddy river.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Third Hokage immediately dispelled the Earth Corridor.

The nine Anbu behind him also split into three groups and went to surround Ye Liangnai.

Meanwhile, Inoichi Yamanaka assists the Third Hokage in controlling Ye Liangnai at the appropriate time.

"Cough cough!"

Ye Liangnai appeared from a short distance away, manifesting using the Water Transformation Technique.

Otherwise, given the density and impact of that muddy river, it would be impossible for Ye Liangnai to escape without suffering broken bones if she were swept away.

"Fire Release: Divine Fire Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

The moment he appeared, the Anbu launched an attack.

Two ANBU Anbu with Jonin-level strength launched a joint attack, instantly giving two ordinary B-rank ninjutsu the power of S-rank ninjutsu.

"Whoosh!"

The entire sky brightened, and the high-temperature air became completely distorted.

However, faced with such a terrifying attack, Ye Liangnai merely made a gesture of drawing her sword, and then—

"Flash Erasure!"

A flash of cold light streaked through the terrifying flames, slicing them open.

Two Anbu narrowly escaped the cold light, and blood immediately spurted from their bodies.

"This is...??"

The two Anbu were still a bit confused about what was going on.

I felt my strength constantly draining away, and I fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Even refining Chakra has become difficult.

"Hiss!"

Upon witnessing this scene, even the Third Hokage couldn't help but gasp in astonishment; the power was simply too immense.

Seeing the cold light continue its charge towards them, he quickly formed hand seals and shouted, "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

His mouth suddenly swelled up, and he spat out a cloud of mud that drew a line in front of him.

The silt below the line instantly grew like a life-giving soil, transforming into a solid and indestructible city wall!

The Third Hokage originally thought that his defense should be able to withstand Ye Liangnai for a while.

However, to his surprise—

"Pfft!"

A tearing sound rang out, followed by a sharp sword intent.

The city wall, which was more than a meter thick and as solid as steel, was actually cleaved open.

"Not good!"

The Third Hokage quickly pulled the Anbu beside him and retreated rapidly.

The next instant, a cold glint swept across the spot where they had just stood, tearing the air apart.

"As expected of the Third Hokage, your reaction speed is really fast. But how long can you protect them?"

Ye Liangnai looked up at the Third Hokage and the others who had just landed. Before Inoichi Yamanaka could use the Mind Body Disturbance Technique, she simultaneously formed hand seals with both hands.

"Water Release: Water Spear Technique!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Bullet Technique!"

Water bullets the size of pine nuts and lightning bullets the size of chestnuts shot out simultaneously, causing the Third Hokage and others to change their expressions.

They didn't expect that Ye Liangnai could multitask and form hand seals so quickly.
