Given their opposing stances, everyone naturally knows why he would be here.
The crowd was somewhat surprised. They had an army of five thousand men; what right did you have to dare to come and stop them on your own?
Does he really think he's a god?!
After a brief moment of surprise, the leader instantly realized this was a good opportunity.
By eliminating the Hokage of Konoha, Cloud would immediately gain a decisive advantage.
At that time, that fertile land of the Land of Fire will be theirs.
"This is truly divine intervention!" The man raised his hand, and the army immediately began to stir.
His eyes were sharp, and a murderous intent suddenly arose, but the man opposite him just smiled.
He was laughing very happily.
"That's right, you should maintain this kind of fierce killing intent when facing the enemy."
He took a step forward, a simple action that caused Cloud to tense up.
A person's reputation precedes them. No matter how much the higher-ups belittle Konoha's efforts to create a god-like figure, they cannot conceal the formidable personal achievements of the God of Shinobi.
Defeating five hundred ninjas single-handedly is a terrifying feat, not to mention that several of them were Kage Level powerhouses.
Now that the enemy's numbers have increased tenfold, will the outcome be different?
"Hmph, what a pretentious charlatan." A powerful figure stepped forward, attempting to calm the crowd.
"I'll fight you!"
"Me too!"
Count me in!
After all, it is Hidden Village of a great power, and the number of strong individuals there is far greater than that of a single Family.
Within minutes, five exceptionally skilled ninjas stepped forward, ready to challenge the God of Shinobi.
Faced with a vast disparity in combat strength, all that's needed is to stall the enemy and prevent him from using powerful, lethal Ninjutsu; the enemy can be worn down and killed simply by attrition.
"Go!" At the leader's command, the five men instantly moved over, completely sealing off Kyosuke's escape route.
At the same time, the massive force of five thousand men was dispersed to prevent the enemy from using Ninjutsu to launch an attack.
It was a clever approach, but unfortunately, their calculations were still not comprehensive enough.
The Truth-Seeking Orb transformed into a black barrier, blocking the attack from behind. Kyosuke no longer needed to be distracted and could focus solely on the enemy in front of him.
Purple Electricity!
Purple Electricity: A new type of Lightning Release Ninjutsu that can be activated without relying on the Sharingan or Hand Seals.
Its power is extremely strong, surpassing Chidori and Lightning Blade, and it belongs to the extreme nature evolution of Lightning Release Chakra.
The original creator was Kakashi, but it has now become Kyosuke's unique Ninjutsu.
The purple lightning was stunning, possessing a mesmerizing, fantastical luster.
The Kusanagi Sword, when guided, possesses a terrifying destructive power far exceeding that of the Chidori Blade.
With a single, fatal blow to the throat, before the enemy's blood could even spurt, Kyosuke had already rushed to the other man's side.
"Die, you bastard!" The enemy drew his Samurai Sword and thrust it at him head-on, his momentum resolute, clearly prepared to die with the enemy.
However, with a flick of the longsword formed from the Truth-Seeking Orb, the enemy's weapon shattered as easily as tofu.
"That's not enough."
"Show us your true strength!"
The remaining five Truth-Seeking Orb shot out, and any enemy within a seventy-meter radius would become their target.
Ninjutsu defense? Useless.
Weapon resistance? That won't work either.
Even if the first person manages to dodge, the remaining ninjas behind him will inevitably suffer.
From the very beginning of the battle, the casualties of the Cloud forces remained high.
Knowing that close combat was ineffective, the commander immediately shouted, "Everyone spread out! Use Ninjutsu to blast open that black membrane!"
"The commander, huh?" Kyosuke's gaze shifted, locking onto the man who had spoken.
The Truth-Seeking Orb has strong defensive capabilities; attacks below the Six Paths Level are almost ineffective against it.
Unfortunately, they cannot exist for long periods of time; they are nearing their limit now.
"You want to settle this with Ninjutsu?"
"Then, I'll play with you guys today."
Earth Release: Super Earthquake Core!
The best way to break the enemy's swarm tactics is to disrupt their formation.
When Ninjutsu cannot be developed to a certain scale, its lethality against top-tier powerhouses like Kyosuke will vanish.
"Damn it, isn't he a ninja from the Land of Fire? How come his Earth Release techniques are so powerful?!"
"Everyone, don't panic."
"Continue with the Ninjutsu attacks, don't give the opponent a chance to breathe."
Just then, a pungent smell of sulfur gradually spread throughout the canyon.
Amidst the horrified gazes of many, Taiseki composed of lava rained down from the sky like a curtain of rain.
Lava Release: Great Fireball!
Kekkei Genkai formed by the combination of fire and earth properties, it is mostly manifested as Lava and has extremely powerful destructive force.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The terrifying tremors lasted for a full three minutes. Only when the canyon had completely turned into a Lava field did Kyosuke stop releasing his Ninjutsu.
He glanced around indifferently, seemingly dissatisfied with the damage he had caused.
Despite their seemingly destructive power, Lava is too large a target; with careful dodging, one can always avoid its most direct lethal effects.
"Isn't this tarnishing my reputation God of Shinobi?" Kyosuke smiled faintly, then used Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the cliff above the canyon.
"When it comes to reaping lives, I really have to use your Ninjutsu, Hashirama."
With his hands clasped tightly in front of his chest, he used Chakra as the source of his life force, causing countless enormous trees to rapidly grow from the ground.
Wood Release: Birth of the Tree World!
Faced with Kyosuke's powerful Chakra, comparable to that of the Nine-Tails, the enemy's Ninjutsu attacks were a complete joke.
In less than ten seconds, an area with a diameter of five kilometers was completely enveloped by the Tree Sea. No matter how hard they struggled, the Cloud could only struggle to survive in the face of his Wood Release.
Points: 168200.
"It seems pretty good."
Silently ceasing the use of Ninjutsu, he sensed that most of the ninjas within his range had perished, and the rest had escaped the Wood Release's coverage area from the very beginning.
He currently doesn't possess many Wood Release Secret Technique; Birth of the Tree World is already his limit, but it's enough for clearing the battlefield.
As for what comes next... that's when he'll truly unleash his full potential.
A dark golden light shot into the sky, and the Perfect Susanoo, like a war god, appeared, its wings spread, and it charged from the Tree Sea toward the Cloud troops directly in front of it.
Susanoo Sword was drawn, the terrifying impact of its blade swept across the square formation of over two hundred people like a raging river.
"If you attack Konoha, you should be prepared to die at any time."
"Accept your fate."
Overlord Sword - Kamui Prison!
Boom!
By the time Raikage arrived after receiving the news, the battle in the canyon had already ended long ago.
Of the 5,000 ninja soldiers, less than a third remained; the horrific casualty report stunned everyone.
"This was really done by one person?!" Raikage was somewhat incredulous.
Although he knew that the so-called five thousand troops were mostly Genin used to fill the ranks, their actual combat strength was very limited.
But to have them all slaughtered by one person seems a bit too exaggerated, doesn't it?
