Uchiha Tianqi, Surrounded by Iwagakure Ninja
"Kill me? You think you have the ability? If you're not convinced, bring it on!" Seeing that Sen'u had already traveled dozens of kilometers after stalling for a while, Tianqi didn't waste any more words and assumed a fighting stance.
"Hahaha, Uchiha Tianqi, do you think you're still the same Asura you used to be? Don't be ridiculous. After half a year of probing attacks, we've already figured out your strength. Right now, you're only at the Kage Level. You're like a candle flickering in the wind, burning out at any moment!" The quasi-Kage laughed heartily. It was precisely because they had ascertained that Uchiha Tianqi's strength was not great that they dared to launch a large-scale attack.
"A flickering candle in the wind? Heh, I'm not just a candle that burns out. I'll become a signpost to guide future generations on their path!" As he spoke, Tianqi's body was covered in lightning, Lightning Release Armor also covered his entire body.
"What kind of bullshit pointing out the way is this? Everyone from Iwagakure, charge! Kill Uchiha Tianqi!" The quasi-Kage stopped talking nonsense and pointed at Uchiha Tianqi, directly issuing the attack order.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Slay Uchiha Tianqi!!!"
"..."
The Iwagakure Ninja shouted and charged towards Uchiha Tianqi.
Tianqi accelerated and transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the enemy. Upon encountering the first Iwagakure Ninja, he grabbed the Iwagakure Ninja's head with his large hand and crushed it with a slight squeeze.
As Tianqi moved through the crowd at incredible speed, the Iwagakure Ninja were constantly being killed by him. He seemed to be moving through an empty field. The Iwagakure Ninja fell one after another, and the blood that flowed out stained the ground red. At this moment, it seemed that even the sky could not bear to watch anymore, and it began to rain.
Seeing that nearly a hundred people had been killed in just a few minutes, the five quasi-Kage were secretly surprised. However, this also proved that Uchiha Tianqi's strength had indeed declined, and by a significant margin. If it were the old him, all 1,500 of them would have been wiped out in just a few minutes.
Because Sen'u had previously used the Wood Dragon Technique and, along with a group of Konoha Ninja, eliminated five hundred Iwagakure Ninja, this vanguard team now only had a little over fifteen hundred members left.
"Stop watching! If this continues, our men will be killed by him sooner or later. Follow me!" A relatively young quasi-Kage from the Shadow Guard said to the group of elite Jonin and four quasi-Kage beside him.
"Alright, let's go!" The pillars of Iwagakure stopped watching and swarmed forward to surround Uchiha Tianqi.
It has to be said that the strength of the Jonin is truly remarkable. These thirty-odd powerful individuals managed to hold off Tianqi, who was at the late stage of Kage Level. With their combined efforts, wounds slowly began to appear on Tianqi's body.
The battle lasted for an hour.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!" After an hour of intense fighting, Tianqi was also panting heavily.
"Oh, so our Asura of the Ninja World is already exhausted? Your strength doesn't seem to match your boasting!" The quasi-Kage mocked, seeing Uchiha Tianqi's stamina failing.
"Heh, I'm not good enough? Then why don't you dare to come forward? Aren't you just afraid I'll retaliate at the last minute!" Although he was a little exhausted, Tianqi still refused to back down.
"..." The group of ninjas remained silent. They were indeed a little afraid of Uchiha Tianqi's counterattack. Kage Level powerhouse's dying counterattack was not something anyone could stop. The strength of a Quasi-Kage and Kage Level powerhouse was not comparable, especially for a veteran Kage Level powerhouse like Uchiha Tianqi.
"I've hit the nail on the head, and you can't argue with me, can you? In the end, you're nothing but grains of sand. How can the light of Fire Fly compare to the brilliance of the moon!" Tianqi said, raising his right hand.
"Sage Art - Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan Shuriken!" A five-meter-long Shuriken appeared in Tianqi's hand.
"This terrifying compressed energy is a combination of form and nature transformation. It's not something we can withstand head-on. Everyone be careful!" The quasi-Kage of the Shadow Guard immediately recognized the strength of the Ninjutsu as he looked at the Ninjutsu in Uchiha Tianqi's hand.
Upon hearing this, the group of ninjas immediately retreated a few meters. These quasi-Kage of Iwagakure Ninja were quite discerning and did not choose to test the waters like Kakuzu did.
"Go!" Aiming at a crowd, Tianqi hurled the five-meter-long Rasengan Shuriken.
"Bang!!!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
As the Rasengan Shuriken fell into the crowd and exploded, more than fifty people screamed in pain before disappearing from the world.
"To be able to unleash such high-quality Chakra, to be able to use such a technique, truly worthy of Uchiha Tianqi!" The older quasi-Kage was also shocked by this terrifying energy, and he still respected Uchiha Tianqi's strength.
"This Ninjutsu is indeed quite powerful, but it also consumes a lot of Chakra. Look at Uchiha Tianqi; after he used this technique, his Chakra was almost reduced by half. He can probably only use it twice at most. There's nothing to be afraid of!" A quasi-Kage observed carefully and said calmly.
"That's right, that's exactly it. It seems we'll be able to take him down soon!" Zhunying, who was the first to speak, also smiled. It seemed his elder brother's revenge would be achieved soon.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!" After releasing the Rasengan Shuriken, Tianqi was panting even more heavily.
"Tianqi, you've already used up a third of your Chakra. Stop focusing on using powerful Ninjutsu and start calculating your Chakra reserves," White Zetsu's voice echoed in Tianqi's mind.
"How can the consumption be so great when it's already a third full? I haven't even used that much Ninjutsu!" Tianqi was also puzzled by White Zetsu's words. With the quality and quantity of his Chakra, he shouldn't have consumed so much.
From the start of your battle, your Chakra has been draining at an accelerated rate. It's estimated that if you have another three hours, your Chakra might drop to that of Jonin. White Zetsu also roughly calculated this for Tianqi.
Three hours? That means there's only about an hour left to fight. If my Chakra drops too much, I probably won't be able to hold off the Iwagakure Ninja! Tianqi thought about it for a moment.
"Attack!" The older quasi-Kage gave the order, and five elite Jonin forward and began Hand Seals.
To prevent Uchiha Tianqi from launching a last-ditch counterattack, the leading members of the Shadow Guard discussed the matter briefly and decided to first restrict Uchiha Tianqi's movements.
"Ninja Art - Earth Barrier!" Five elite Jonin surrounded Uchiha Tianqi, and an earthen-yellow barrier rose up.
"Huh? This is a barrier!" Tianqi frowned as he saw that his movement area was restricted by a barrier set up by several Iwagakure Ninja. They were planning to trap him and start killing him!
Reaching the edge of the barrier, Tianqi raised his right hand, gathered his power, and punched the earthen-yellow barrier.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Tianqi's fist, which had been aimed at the barrier, was bounced back. The barrier's power was so strong that it was probably no less than that of the Four Purple Flames Formation. This time, he was really in trouble!
