Six Paths Clone

"This is really troublesome."

Senju Zen on the big tree and cursed impatiently.

The stubbornness of the Cloud Ninja exceeded his initial expectations; they would rather risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire village than hand over the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Given the magnitude of the blizzard, even if the Cloud Ninja did their utmost to evacuate the villagers, it would be impossible to move the entire village. In the face of such a massive blizzard, the Genin, being the largest group, would be of little use; their ability to protect themselves in the blizzard would be the best they could do.

Protecting ordinary villagers Chunin, but the village doesn't have that many Chunin available.

The Cloud Ninja need to protect not only the Kumogakure, but the entire Land of Lightning.

The Cloud Ninja guarding the borders, as well as those responsible for protecting the Daimyo and nobles, could not be recalled.

As the Raikage, A couldn't possibly be unaware of these things.

After all, even Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso knew these data, which is why they set up such a scheme in order to save effort in taking away the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Since the Two-Tails was captured, the Cloud Ninja have been so extremely protective of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki that it's almost ruthless. Forcing their way in wouldn't be impossible; with their abilities, killing thousands of Cloud Ninja wouldn't be difficult, but it would be troublesome, and they're unwilling to reveal too many of their trump cards.

Compared to the Cloud Ninja, the calamity of Konoha is the one they truly fear.

"Haha, no matter how troublesome it is, it's your fault. You figure out a solution! I have no interest in dealing with crazy Cloud Ninja."

Uchiha Genso chuckled coldly, and the three-pointed star in his eyes suddenly accelerated its rotation.

The snowstorm intensified.

Even here, the fine snowflakes instantly turned into snowflakes the size of elm seeds.

"Damn Cloud Ninja, don't they know what weighing the pros and cons? Look at Konoha, they handed it over without hesitation, so quick and easy. Such petty people, no wonder they'll never amount to anything." Senju Zen muttered curses as he jumped down from the tree, Hand Seals.

"Summoning Technique."

The white smoke was quickly dispersed by the wind and snow, and five clones appeared before them.

The Heavenly Path, the Human Path, the Hell Path, the Animal Path, the Preta Path, plus the Asura Path currently engaged in fierce battle with the Cloud Ninja at the foot of the mountain, his Six Paths Clone are complete.

Normally, the clones are stored in a base and are summoned when needed.

Go ahead.

Senju Zen said something.

The five clones nodded and then ran down the mountain.

The Six Paths Clone a common vision, are connected in thought, and each has its own independent fighting consciousness, resembling Shadow Clone, but far more sophisticated.

On the steep and towering mountain wall.

A bolt of lightning flashed continuously, each flash moving it a hundred meters away as it sped towards the mountaintop.

Behind this lightning bolt, dozens of figures followed, putting all their strength into chasing the Fourth Generation Lord.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique"

The mountain wall is steep and straight, and a silver waterfall, fifty or sixty meters wide, suddenly cascades down from the top of the mountain, carrying immense force as it rushes down.

"Snort!"

Ai Leng snorted, paused in his forward charge, turned and rushed down, arriving beside Xi and the Cloud Ninja in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand and punched the mountain wall, instantly shattering the rough, hard rock into a huge hole.

He dashed straight into the cave, Cloud Ninja following closely behind weren't fools. In fact, they were all Jonin -level experts, so they knew exactly what to do. One by one, they jumped into the cave with their lives on the line. The last one rushed into the cave at the last second, his ears ringing from the thunderous roar of the waterfall overhead. He was almost swept away by the powerful waterfall.

This terrain is perfect for unleashing the full potential of the Great Waterfall Technique. The caster is clearly a top-tier expert in Water Release. If one were to be hit head-on by this waterfall, or even just grazed by it, the result would be broken bones and tendons. Even with Ai's formidable physique, he wouldn't dare to confront it head-on.

In terms of physical defense alone, A is inferior to his father, the Third Raikage, whose physical strength is the greatest in Kumogakure. A's strength lies more in speed than in physical strength.

"Go up from here. Those who can keep up, keep up; those who can't, don't force yourself."

Ai touched his face, looked up at the uneven rocks on the cave ceiling, and said loudly.

Outside the cave entrance, the waterfall cascaded down with a thunderous roar, and the icy, bone-chilling water splashed in, making people shiver as it landed on their faces.

Climbing mountains from the outside is obviously very difficult. Water Release ninjas can maximize the impact force of the weight of the flowing water by taking advantage of the steep terrain. Head-on confrontation is the worst possible strategy.

Since we can't go up from the outside, we can only go from the inside.

"Earth Release: Earth Swimming Fish"

Ai leaped into the rock like a fish entering water. The rock, which was originally incredibly hard, was now as soft as flowing water. As Ai's body gradually merged into the rock, ripples spread across the surface of the rock like waves.

As the Raikage, Eko is not only skilled in Lightning Release, but it is his strongest technique. In addition, he is also proficient in Earth Release and Water Release, which is why he was able to judge the power of the Great Waterfall Technique immediately, because he also knows that technique.

The Cloud Ninja who possessed Earth Release also used their own techniques to closely follow the Lord Raikage's steps.

They were all Jonin. Except for a very few extremists, most Jonin had mastered at least two Chakra Nature Transformation. Lightning Release Chakra was a must for Cloud Ninja, and Earth Release and Water Release Technique were the next options.

Because the Cloud Ninja are located by the sea, Water Release Technique can be quite useful in many situations. As for Earth Release, they are the most convenient, and the Earth Travel Technique alone is the reason why many people choose to practice Earth Release.

Therefore, more than half of the twenty-odd Cloud Ninja here were proficient in Earth Release, and a total of thirteen of them followed.

The leader of the thirteen was still Xi. This handsome blond man was proficient in Genjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, and had sensory abilities. He was also extremely quick-witted, making him an all-around talent.

The dozen or so Cloud Ninja remaining in the cave all wore expressions of indignation. Although the waterfall outside had disappeared, they dared not rush out rashly, as the enemy was still watching from above. If they dared to show themselves, another waterfall might crash down.

"Damn bastards, Konoha scum, they can't even handle their own missing-nin, yet they let them out to wreak havoc on us."

"Hmph! missing-nin? I bet they're just stray dogs kept by Konoha, used specifically for doing this kind of disgusting thing."

The Cloud Ninja trapped in the cave cursed Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso with all their might, and Konoha was also caught up in the turmoil. (To be continued)
