Konoha in Despair
"Escape? What's the point?"
Upon seeing this, Pakura couldn't help but laugh contemptuously, "Scorch Release: Steam Death Hell!"
She tossed the fireball in her hand into the sky, and the fireball expanded rapidly like a balloon, its attack range increasing dramatically, instantly engulfing the group of ninjas.
Under the terrifyingly high temperature, a large group of Sand Ninja let out heart-wrenching screams that sent chills down one's spine.
When the fireball disappeared, the ground within a radius of several hundred meters had crystallized, still radiating intense heat.
On the ground lay a pile of lifeless, desiccated corpses!
Upon witnessing this scene, the surrounding Sand Ninja couldn't help but swallow hard in horror and involuntarily back away.
They're not even in the same league, how can you fight like that!
"If you withdraw, then it will be useful?"
Seeing the group of Sand Ninja retreating with fear on their faces, Pakura's eyes flashed with disdain. A fireball condensed in the air beside him, like a series of compressed miniature suns, and Pakura hurled it out.
"Ah!"
"No!"
"Don't let anyone brush against you!"
The Sand Ninja were in despair. Pakura's abilities were too strong, and his ranged attacks were too powerful. There was simply no way for them to get close enough for a melee.
If this continues, they're doomed!
But there was absolutely no one to support them.
Chiyo was held back by Bunpuku, the One-Tail Jinchuriki.
The Kazekage Gaara and Rasa was earth-shattering.
Chiyo's Brother, Ebizo, Puppet Technique, was barely managing to fight Karura.
Baki, the only Jonin elite of Sunagakure, is leading two students, Temari Kankuro, to face off against Chiyo's Son and Chiyo's Daughter-in-law, two puppeteers.
The remaining Jonin were either dealing with other Impure World Reincarnation Tensei ninjas or were being held back by Impure World Reincarnation.
For a time, no one could stand up to Pakura.
Iwagakure!
"This is troublesome!"
Looking at the three ninjas in front of him, even Ōnoki couldn't help but show a hint of panic, and cold sweat poured down his forehead!
The three people in front of Ōnoki are none other than the Second Tsuchikage!
Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki!
Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!
These three people alone were enough to put immense pressure on Ōnoki.
When two Jinchuriki go wild, their destructive power is comparable to that of tens of thousands of ninjas!
Not to mention that there were several ninjas standing behind the three of them.
Explosion Release Ninja Hunt!
Uchiha Clan, the head of the Fugaku Uchiha clan!
Fugaku Uchiha, wife of Mikoto Uchiha!
The Uchiha Clan's genius, 'Body Flicker Shisui' Shisui Uchiha, and a group of other Uchiha Clan members!
And then there's the final, grand finale character—'demigod' Hanzo of the Salamander!
Ōnoki glanced at his own side and saw that he was the only one capable of fighting, along with a handful of others like Kurotsuchi, Kitsuchi, and Akatsuchi. He then looked at the enemy's army, a veritable gathering of elites.
Even he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
Iwagakure is truly in trouble!
But now, even if he can't win, he has to bite the bullet and go for it!
"I just don't know if we can hold out until reinforcements arrive!"
Ōnoki knew that this was definitely not an enemy that their Iwagakure army could handle.
All he has to do now is stall!
Hold off the enemy forces, then request reinforcements from Konoha and Sunagakure!
They can only win if they receive reinforcements!
He was determined to find the mastermind behind the Impure World Reincarnation Tensei ninja army.
But Bing San was very cautious and didn't show himself at all. He only sent a few subordinates to take charge of the overall situation while he hid in the dark and manipulated the Impure World Reincarnation Army!
This left Ōnoki completely at a loss!
Kumogakure!
This is probably the least stressful ninja village besides Kirigakure.
If you ask why, it's because Hama Yon's team isn't as strong as the others!
Among the Impure World Reincarnation Army, only a few were well-known.
They are: the Third Raikage, and the previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Fukai!
The rest were just some unknown rabble, numbering five thousand, which, together with the White Zetsu army, amounted to fifteen thousand!
This troop strength is nothing to Kumogakure!
Match assignments are very simple!
Fourth Raikage versus Third Raikage!
The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Fukai!
The remaining miscellaneous soldiers and the White Zetsu army were fought off by Darui, Dou Lang, and their group, and they faced off without any pressure.
The ultimate victor will undoubtedly be the Kumogakure!
The Fourth Raikage has that confidence!
"Is it really certain that you will win?"
"Naive Raikage, since that's the case, let me add another factor to make you even more desperate?"
In a dark corner, Hama Yon grinned and sneered. Beside him, a female ninja with short, grass-green hair and dressed in a rather revealing outfit rushed out.
Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki!
Since you think one Jinchuriki is no problem at all, then let's have another one!
Back to Konoha!
"Waaah!"
The Third Hokage coughed up another mouthful of blood, panting as he looked at the cold-faced ninja in front of him, his expression full of exhaustion.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
Beside him, Jiraiya in Sage Mode, was also panting heavily, with multiple wounds on his body. Tsunade was on top of them, healing their injuries.
She also had blood at the corner of her mouth and wasn't in very good condition!
"The situation is getting even worse!"
Beside the Third Hokage and the others, Shikaku Nara's face was solemn, and even a hint of despair appeared!
"Do we really still have hope?"
The Konoha Ninja were all bewildered at this moment!
Faced with the enemy, their two Hokage were forced to retreat repeatedly, but even so, they were still seriously injured.
Even with the strong support of powerful figures like Jiraiya, Mitokado Homura, and high-ranking officials like Utatane Koharu, they were still no match for the enemy's sharp edge!
Their camp has been forced to retreat sixty miles!
They had only been fighting for less than half a day, and they had already fallen into such a disadvantageous position, something they had never experienced before.
When has Konoha ever been this desperate?
"Second Hokage, Fourth Hokage, I beg you! Please regain your senses and open your eyes to look at Konoha! If you don't help us, Konoha will be destroyed by your own hands!"
Ninjas continued to pray, filled with despair.
Let's leave the other ninjas aside for now!
The Flying Thunder God Reciprocity Technique between the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, was truly miraculous and completely flawless.
Even the formidable Third Hokage Jiraiya, working together, were still utterly humiliated.
Not to mention the Second Hokage's suicidal Ninjutsu, "Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags," which would continue attacking until the enemy was dead, as long as it was aimed at them.
This truly caused the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, to suffer a serious injury!
These two Hokage alone were enough to instill a deep sense of despair in the entire Konoha!
Not to mention top-tier powerhouses like Kushina Uzumaki, Shimura Danzō, Hatake Sakumo!
