AB Combination vs. Yichen

Yichen naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his Chakra to run out.

Although he still had two Trump Card Little Rhino Dog and Little Chōmei.

However, since the Tailed Beast Chakra cannot enhance the Mind's Eye, it is less helpful to Yichen than Sage Mode in this situation.

Therefore, Yichen launched a large-scale counterattack.

Now that the Cloud ninja intelligence agents have analyzed my abilities, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling them that I have a backup plan and that they should be on guard if I kept it hidden?

Yichen began to unleash various elemental Ninjutsu enhanced by Sage Mode.

With Yichen's ability to Hand Seals One-handed Hand Seals and quickly with both hands, no one present could interrupt Yichen from performing a regular Ninjutsu.

As a result, the Kumogakure suddenly became lively.

The Defense Barrier set up by the Kumogakure is similar to the one used to restrict Naruto and Killer B on Turtle Island Fourth Shinobi War.

The barrier was set up based on the attack power of a Tailed Beast Bomb.

Unfortunately, Light Release requires time to prepare; otherwise, Yichen could have simply Light Release to break through the Defense Barrier and leave.

Unlike before when Yichen dodged alone in the air, Area of Effect Ninjutsu beam clashes began to become the mainstream on the battlefield.

The occasional clashes of A-rank Ninjutsu and the bursts of dazzling fireworks added a touch of vitality to the originally peaceful and tranquil Kumogakure.

However, Yichen changed his tactics, and so did the Cloud ninja.

The Fourth Raikage began to coordinate with Killer B. Originally, because Yichen was in the air, the Fourth Raikage could only attack once each time.

Often, just as he leaped into the air, Yichen would have already dodged far away. Despite being the strongest, the Fourth Raikage posed the least threat to Yichen.

But now, Killer B his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, has summoned several enormous Chakra Tentacles that stretch across the sky above the Kumogakure.

These tentacles not only cleared away the Porcelain Mud from the sky, but also launched attacks on Yichen, while incidentally providing the Fourth Raikage with ample support points.

The Fourth Raikage used the power of these Chakra Tentacles to launch continuous attacks on Yichen, making it much harder for Yichen to dodge than before.

The ninja army of Kumogakure also began to play a role after Yichen reduced the frequency of his attacks on them.

Although Yichen tried to avoid getting too close to them, some of the ninjas among them with relatively long attack ranges were still able to launch attacks when Yichen was not too far away, thus interfering with Yichen.

Moreover, a large number of Genin and lower ninja who did not know Ninjutsu were scattered throughout the Hidden Kumogakure, constantly throwing hidden weapons at Yichen.

They continued to shift positions, providing cover for the Jonin within, making it not so easy for Yichen to ascertain their movements.

Yichen was already at a disadvantage. In order to maintain the situation, Yichen had to generate more Porcelain Mud, attempting to disrupt the Cloud ninja's rhythm with the wide-range attack of Porcelain Release.

However, the Eight-Tails fox's tentacles did not give Yichen such an opportunity.

These tentacles, flailing haphazardly above Kumogakure, could easily clear away Yichen's Porcelain Mud.

The mud from Yichen was either flung away by the tentacles or stuck to them, so it couldn't form a large enough mass.

These tentacles were diligently cleaning up the skies above the Kumogakure, just like cleaning up trash.

The Porcelain Release, a wide-range, freely changeable Ninjutsu that requires no hand seals, cannot function effectively, Yichen's combat strength to decline significantly.

Yichen is facing an increasingly difficult situation.

Yichen quickly Hand Seals, unleashing a divine technique: Water Release - Water Style: Raging Waves.

To relieve the pressure from the Eight-Tails tentacles, Yichen began to use B-rank Sage Jutsu.

Ninjutsu with power exceeding that of a standard A-rank and approaching that of an S-rank ninjutsu wreaked havoc over a wide area.

This caused the area attacked by Yichen to descend into chaos once again.

To minimize Yichen's hiding space, the Cloud Ninja Army, gathered together, was relatively small in size.

They split into many teams and waited for Yichen to fly by at various locations in the Kumogakure.

Some of them even wander around, adding pressure to Yichen.

However, this means that a single ninja army can barely withstand C-rank Sage Jutsu, let alone B-rank Sage Jutsu.

The Cloud ninja began to suffer large-scale casualties. Often, a single B-rank Sage Jutsu from Yichen would result in more than half of a small ninja army being killed or wounded.

However, this was not the opportunity for Yichen to break the deadlock. Yichen's use of B-rank Sage Jutsu meant a decrease in the frequency of his attacks, which actually made it easier for the Cloud ninja to surround and annihilate him.

The overall situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Yichen.

Yichen was forced to dodge according to the route set by the Cloud ninja. Gradually, Yichen was cornered.

There's less and less room to dodge.

The Fourth Raikage's attack frequency was increasing.

Shinra Tensei.

The situation was on the verge of collapse when Yichen revealed another Trump Card.

Facing the Fourth Raikage charging at him again to prevent him from breaking out of the encirclement, Yichen unleashed the S-rank Ninjutsu: Almighty Push for the first time in front of the Cloud ninja.

Yichen's mastery of gravity-based Ninjutsu is now far beyond Elite Jonin back then.

Although Yichen's Shinra Tensei didn't send the Fourth Raikage flying, it did manage to deflect him off course.

The Cloud ninja were clearly unprepared for this turn of events; they believed that the least problematic aspect had encountered an unexpected turn of events.

The Cloud Ninja Commander had prepared many backup plans to prevent Yichen from breaking through the encirclement of the Ordinary Ninja Army, but he did not expect that the Fourth Raikage would still need someone to cover him.

This created a gap in the Cloud ninja's tight attack rhythm.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yichen set up a thick layer of Porcelain Release shield under his feet, and then forcefully broke out of that narrow space.

This rendered all of the Cloud ninja's previous efforts futile, and the seemingly imminent victory was back to square one.

At that moment, the commander's voice rang out from the Cloud ninja Command Center.

"The Tsuchikage has unleashed a new technique: gravity-based Ninjutsu that can be activated with a simple hand gesture. This increases the number of attack waves, preventing the Tsuchikage from using this technique to escape the encirclement again."

"At the same time, be careful about the auxiliary effect of this type of Ninjutsu on other Ninjutsu, such as its acceleration effect on Porcelain Release."

Yichen sighed, "Impressive! I thought Shikaku Nara was the only genius in the Ninja World, but I didn't expect there to be one here in the Cloud ninja."

The strength and resources of the Five Great Ninja Villages should not be underestimated.

Just because you've been to Konoha a few times doesn't mean you can go anywhere in the world. That's a very naive idea.

However, I've used up quite a bit of my Chakra, so I'm not playing with you guys anymore.

While the Cloud Ninja main force was still adjusting their formation, Yichen began to unleash B-rank Sage Jutsu once again.

The Fourth Raikage, the Eight-Tails' Tentacle, Darui, these ninjas acting alone, reacted quickly and immediately entangled with Yichen.

They didn't care if Yichen used B-rank Sage Jutsu, as long as it wasn't Light Release Bloodline Elimination technique.

Although B-rank Sage Jutsu would cause enormous damage to the village, it would be worth it as long as it could kill Yichen.

"Sage Art - Water Release - Rain Style: Heavy Rain Jutsu, Sage Art - Wind Release - Mass Wind Spell, Sage Art - Fire Release - Phoenix Fire Technique."

Yichen unleashed three B-rank Sage Jutsu in succession.

However, just as the third Fire Release technique was being used, the Fourth Raikage's attack arrived, forcing the Fire Release to change direction and crash into the Defense Barrier in the air.

Nobody cares, because this kind of thing happens all the time tonight.

Yichen continued to dodge, while the Cloud ninja continued their attacks.

As before, with the gathering of the Cloud Ninja Army, Yichen's room to dodge was once again restricted.

Moreover, having had the experience before, the Cloud ninja coordinated much better this time. Yichen lost his dodging territory even faster.

Until the Kumogakure's Barrier Team sensed something was wrong.

"Command Center, Command Center! The Tsuchikage's Fire Release attack on the barrier earlier was flawed. The Chakra of the barrier at that location is disappearing; the barrier is about to be burned down by the Fire Release."

The commander in the Command Center, who was arranging the Cloud ninja's attack, paused, listening carefully to the Barrier Team's report.

The Barrier Team is key to keeping Yichen alive tonight, so Barrier Team urgently contacted the Command Center, which was taken seriously immediately.

After hearing the report from the Barrier Team, the commander's expression changed. He was about to instruct the Fourth Generation Lei and others to change tactics and block Yichen.

But at that moment...

Bang bang bang bang.

A series of soft, rustling sounds echoed throughout the Kumogakure.

The commander's voice came out, but it did not reach the ears of the Fourth Raikage and the others as expected.

Because in that instant, the device they used to transmit their thoughts was destroyed by Yichen.

Yichen was using the Porcelain Mud that had been scattered everywhere by the Eight-Tails' tentacles.

While everyone's attention was focused on the air, Yichen's Porcelain Mud was all in place.

Given Yichen's Sealing Jutsu and sensory abilities, he should have figured out the mechanism by which the Cloud ninja transmit their thoughts long ago.

Yichen's actions weren't finished. The next moment, he One-handed Hand Seals and shouted in a low voice: Seal!

Then, Sealing Runes quickly appeared on the Porcelain Mud that had been stuck to the Eight-Tails tentacles.

The next moment, all the tentacles lost power and crashed to the ground.

Because of the loss of support from these tentacles, the Fourth Raikage's continuous attacks immediately ceased.

Just then, a large hole suddenly appeared in the Defense Barrier that had been hit by Yichen's Fire Release.

Yichen's figure flashed, and he flew out directly from the large hole.

Behind him Darui's massive Black Lightning bolts struck the Defense Barrier, with only a few darting out of the barrier, seemingly hitting the fleeing Yichen.

Yichen's Sealing Jutsu for the Eight-Tails' tentacles was simple, and the Eight-Tails quickly broke free.

But when the tentacles rose into the air again, Yichen had already disappeared.

Killer B had no choice but to retract its tentacles.

The Fourth Raikage knew that once Yichen left the Defense Barrier, the Cloud ninja would have no way to stop him.

So he only glanced at the hole in the Defense Barrier before helplessly releasing his fist.

His current concern was with the Command Center, because the commander who had just been giving orders had suddenly fallen silent.

At first, everyone thought the commander had gone to deal with more urgent matters, and they were all waiting for orders.

As a result, there was no news from the Command Center, and Yichen miraculously escaped during this gap.

Clearly, all of this was done by Yichen.

The Fourth Raikage was somewhat worried about the safety of the Command Center.
