Attack on Iwagakure

Amidst the yellowish-brown plateau and the endless yellow sand, a village composed of mountains and rocks appears and disappears.

This is Iwagakure, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Iwagakure has just withdrawn from the Third Shinobi World War and is currently recuperating.

The landmark battle in the original work that marked Iwagakure's withdrawal from the Third Shinobi World War was the Kannabi Bridge Battle. Not only was their supply route destroyed, but more importantly, Minato Namikaze wiped out 50 Jonin in one fell swoop.

Even though Iwagakure is known for its large number of ninjas, and its Jonin level is among the lowest of Major Ninja Villages, not even comparable to Konoha's Special Jonin, they are still Jonin! The entire Iwagakure Jonin has at most three or four hundred Jonin!

After the Ninja World War, they were left with less than 200 Jonin. A quarter of them were wiped out by Minato Namikaze in one fell swoop. The Iwagakure really couldn't fight any longer.

However, today, several uninvited guests arrived at the gates of Iwagakure.

"Who are you?! The Hyuga Clan of Konoha?!"

The ninja standing guard at the entrance of Iwagakure cautiously observed the group that had arrived at the village's gate, his gaze particularly fixed on the white-haired, Byakugan woman.

After turning over a new leaf, Obito Uchiha developed some affection for Konoha again. So when Vegapunk and his group went to Konoha to find the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Obito Uchiha used his space-time ability, fearing that Vegapunk and his group would clash with Konoha Ninja when they entered the Konoha.

But Iwagakure... As the culprit who almost crushed him into Obito- chan, Obito Uchiha's favorability towards Iwagakure was second only to Kirigakure, which killed Rin, so naturally he wouldn't help Vegapunk and the others cover it up.

Putting aside Hancock's stunning beauty and Obito's suspicious attire, Kaguya Otsutsuki Obito Uchiha's undisguised Byakugan alone was enough to arouse wariness and greed in the Iwagakure!

Sensing the gazes of the two Iwagakure, Kaguya Otsutsuki shifted uncomfortably and looked at Vegapunk: "Lord, may I make a move?!"

Under the watchful eyes of several Iwagakure had already drawn their weapons and even secretly signaled, Vegapunk shrugged slightly. "Do as you please!"

With a cold nod, Kaguya Otsutsuki indifferently looked at the two Iwagakure guarding the gate closest to her. Her Byakugan flashed slightly, and a terrifying Pressure instantly turned the two Iwagakure into bloody pulp.

Byakugan — Pressure!

This is a skill that comes with the high purity of the Byakugan bloodline. Although it is not very practical and requires a lot of Chakra to show any power in close combat, it has no effect on opponents of the same level. However, it is indeed a good skill to show off.

With a calm and collected look, Feng Danyun opened his eyes and found his opponent turned into mincemeat. This move indeed frightened many Iwagakure, and the remaining Iwagakure retreated one after another, their eyes filled with fear.

However, this was the stronghold of the Iwagakure after all. The two Iwagakure guarding the gate had given a signal, and within moments, a large number of ninjas had rushed over.

Vegapunk, having entered the gates of Iwagakure, glanced at the ninjas who had half-surrounded him, and then asked directly, "Where are your village's Jinchuriki?!"

"You villain! Who do you think you are? How dare you run wild in our Iwagakure!"

Accompanying the roar was a short, Mediterranean-looking old man with a bulbous nose, who floated in the air, his eyes filled with rage.

"We just walked in and ran into the Third Tsuchikage!" Vegapunk exclaimed in surprise. "As expected of wartime, their reaction speed is really fast!"

"There's something even faster!" Old man Ōnoki, also hot-tempered, sneered as he conjured Dust Release light in his hands, "Die!"

Despite Ōnoki's Dust Release, Vegapunk and his group were unfazed and showed no fear whatsoever.

Obito possessed Kamui Intangibility, while the other three all possessed Chakra absorption abilities. Ninjutsu that did not reach the level of Yin-Yang Release, Kekkei Mōra Limit, or Senjutsu mixed with Natural Energy were all ineffective against them, including the supposedly undefendable Bloodline Dust Release Kekkei Tōta.

Hancock took a small step forward, stretched out her hand, and blocked the Dust Release beam that Ōnoki had unleashed. Just as the group of Iwagakure were about to show their deep regret at seeing the beautiful woman's desperate situation, they were astonished to see that the Dust Release had been completely absorbed by Hancock.

"It's only fair to reciprocate, so you'd better try something out of me!"

Hancock smiled slightly, her stunningly beautiful face radiating a captivating glow that left the Iwa Iwagakure in awe.

"Bewitching Sweet Breeze!"

A pink light flickered, and after a moment, only a pile of stone statues remained. Apart from Ōnoki, there was also an Iwagakure from Iwagakure Jonin blocked Hancock's charm by self-harm.

Compared to the Pirate World, the art style of Hokage is much more serious. Perhaps for this reason, these ninjas are more resistant to Hancock's Bewitching Sweet Breeze than those in the Pirate World.

"What... what kind of Ninjutsu is this?"

Ōnoki's face turned ashen as he looked at the dozens of ninjas who had been turned to stone by Hancock: "Quickly restore them!"

Seeing Ōnoki's expression, Hancock smiled. "Alright, I'll restore them right away!"

Seeing Hancock's radiant smile, Ōnoki felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head slightly, then suddenly realized what was happening. "Stop!!"

However, Hancock had already raised her hand and clenched her fist. With a light swing, the wind from her fist whistled past, and with a series of cracking sounds, all the stone statues on the ground instantly turned into fragments.

"You damned thing!!!" Ōnoki's eyes turned bloodshot, and he was about to Hand Seals, but at this point, Hancock was already tired of playing around.

Almost instantly, Ōnoki felt a powerful gravitational force acting on him, and when he came to his senses, he found that Hancock had his neck in her hand.

The height of people in the Pirate World is often ridiculous. Although Hancock is still within the range of normal humans, she is already close to two meters tall. Ōnoki, on the other hand, is a level three disabled person who is less than 1.6 meters tall. In addition, one of them has long limbs and the other has short arms and legs. When Ōnoki was captured, he looked like a child.

"Bastard..." Ōnoki managed to squeeze out a few words, his face flushed red as he struggled desperately. He felt his Chakra being absorbed by Hancock like a tidal wave, and his limbs gradually drooped down.

"Old man, where are those two Jinchuriki?"

"Don't even think about it..."

"Leave it to me!" Obito Uchiha forward, his eyes transforming into the shape of Mangekyo: "In this situation, Genjutsu is always more effective!"

Although Hancock and Kaguya Otsutsuki have high bloodline levels, the Otsutsuki Clan almost never develops Ninjutsu. Hancock also rarely uses Genjutsu due to her fighting habits. Therefore, Obito Uchiha is truly the most skilled at using Genjutsu to interrogate people for information.

If Ōnoki were unharmed, he might have been able to withstand Obito Uchiha Mangekyō Sharingan Genjutsu, but now that most of his Chakra has been drained, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand Obito Uchiha Mangekyō Sharingan.

Obito Uchiha easily hypnotized Ōnoki and extracted information from him. Then, he frowned and said to Vegapunk, "I've found out. The Five-Tails Jinchuriki is living in a valley not far from the ninja village. As for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, he is currently living in a temple in the Earth Country."

Because of their immense destructive power and tendency to go out of control, Jinchuriki generally reside in relatively remote areas of the ninja village. However, the fact that the Four-Tails Jinchuriki left the village directly suggests that there was some conflict between him and Ōnoki.

However, as long as there is information, that's fine. Vegapunk nodded. "Alright, let's take care of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki first, and then we'll go find the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"Release Lord Tsuchikage!"

Just then, new support ninjas from Iwagakure arrived and saw the Tsuchikage who had just been captured. They were immediately filled with shock and anger and rushed forward.

Hancock and Vegapunk showed little interest in the group of ninjas, Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki also didn't react much. Seeing this, Obito Uchiha a step forward, and his Chakra instantly surged.

As his enemy in a certain sense, Obito Uchiha showed no mercy to the Iwagakure. He clapped his hands, and first, eyeshadow appeared in his eyes. Then, the earth shook, and a large number of trees grew.

"Sage Mode - Activate!"

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

"Wood Style: Wood Human Technique!"

"Armored Armor - Susanoo!"

The sea of trees, covering an area of several kilometers, instantly wiped out all the Iwagakure who rushed into the trap. The trees summoned by the Senjutsu Wood Style were not only as strong as steel, but also had the ability to absorb the Chakra of ninjas and Ninjutsu and use it for their own purposes, and to stimulate their growth.

After that, the giant wooden golem rose from the sea of trees. Then, the powerful Susanoo put a suit of armor on the golem. With a rumbling earthquake, the Susanoo began to walk step by step within the Iwagakure.

In an instant, the entire Iwagakure saw the giant Susanoo. Without needing to issue any further warnings, countless Iwagakure swarmed over like a dense mass of ants.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"Stop him! We can't let him get any further into the village!"

"That's Wood Style! It's Konoha ninja!!!"

"Damn it, the Ninjutsu is completely ineffective!!"

Earth Release, Fire Release, Wind Release, shuriken, Exploding Tags... a barrage of attacks struck the Susanoo to do was make a sound; they did not cause any damage to the Susanoo.

On the contrary, Susanoo didn't even need to attack; simply walking around was enough to cause heavy losses to the entire Iwagakure.

Wherever they went, walls collapsed, houses crumbled, and mountains crumbled, causing all the Iwagakure to become extremely anxious.

"Stop using Ninjutsu recklessly! Everyone, use combined Ninjutsu!"

At this moment, a leader emerged from the chaos of the Iwagakure and shouted loudly. Upon hearing this, the Iwagakure finally reacted and gathered in twos and threes, beginning to use combined Ninjutsu.

"Earth Release - Earth Mountain Technique!"

"Earth Release - Gōriki Style!"

A massive earthen mound rose up from both sides of Susanoo with a rumble, then directly surrounded Susanoo in the middle. At the very front, with a large amount of Iwagakure poured in by Chakra ninja, a huge rock golem suddenly rose from the ground.

Obito, standing atop the wooden doll, scoffed, "They're really determined, aren't they? They're even abandoning their own village?!"

Indeed, map-wide Ninjutsu like the Earth Mountain Technique caused even more damage to the entire Iwagakure than Obito's Susanoo. The entire Iwagakure was almost half destroyed by their own Ninjutsu.

"Although your determination is commendable, you can't defeat me with this kind of strength!"

The forest beneath the wooden figure's feet rapidly expanded, covering the earthen mounds on both sides and firmly restraining and fixing it. As for the charging rock giant, Susanoo slowly reached out, and a katana formed from the Chakra of Susanoo appeared in his hand. On the blade of the katana, there were also tiny black spatial cracks.

"Kamui Sword Slash!"

With a single, gentle slash, the Susanoo Chakra katana, imbued with spatial rifts, cleaved the colossal rock golem in two, the resulting spatial rifts even carving a massive canyon into the center of Iwagakure.

The Iwagakure on the path of this slash didn't even have time to scream before they were completely reduced to ashes.

"No..."

"Monster!!"

"We can't win, we can't possibly win!!"

With this slash, the spirits of the Iwagakure seemed to be shattered, and some even began to flee.

But just then, a loud roar was heard, and a strange, white, horse-like beast galloped out from the distant valley.

With five long tails, pure white fur, horns on its head, and slender, long limbs, it would look like some kind of unicorn elf if it weren't for its enormous size.

"That's the Five-Tails! It's quite good-looking!"

Vegapunk shaded his eyes with his hand and began to speak with great interest.

Among the Nine Tailed Beasts, the Two-Tails, Five-Tails, and Nine-Tails beasts are particularly good-looking. The rest are all very strange and bizarre, especially the Six-Tails, which looks like a clump of sticky worms.

Unfortunately, the Five-Tails didn't hear Vegapunk's praise, or perhaps it did but didn't care. It lowered its head, pointed its horn at Susanoo, and the entire Tailed Beast ran faster and faster, crashing into Susanoo like a white Inazuma.

With a loud bang, Susanoo was sent flying dozens of meters away. Then, the Five-Tails raised its head, a black sphere appeared in its mouth, and swallowed it whole, spitting out a flash of light.
