Surrounded by Ninjas from the Great Clans
"Don't worry about me, Konoha's reinforcements are coming. Focus on your side, Summoning Technique - Impure World Reincarnation!" Orochimaru didn't waste any more words and immediately used Impure World Reincarnation to summon three coffins.
Seeing the first, second, and fourth coffins appear, Tianqi was finally satisfied and turned to deal with the ninjas who had come to provide support.
It must be said that Konoha is quite powerful. After the ordinary people went to evacuate and seek refuge, they immediately united and launched a counterattack. Meanwhile, the Sand Village's main force was unable to quickly reach the battlefield to provide support. This was destined to be a failed war, but it was still worth it to be able to take the Hokage away.
Faced with these people from powerful families, Tianqi was at a loss. These people would be Tsunade's right-hand men in the future, so he couldn't kill them or cripple them. But if he didn't take drastic measures, he couldn't get rid of so many people. Tianqi was in a real bind.
"Shadow Possession Jutsu!"
"Partial Expansion Jutsu!"
"The Mind Body Switch Technique!"
Faced with these well-coordinated third-rate clan ninjas, Tianqi could only dodge while unleashing a couple of minor Ninjutsu attacks in retaliation.
As more and more ninjas gathered on his side, Tianqi inwardly cursed, "What is Orochimaru doing? Why is it taking so long to fight old Sarutobi? Is he even capable? And why are these Konoha Ninja focusing on me? I'm all alone! Why aren't they splitting up to eliminate the invading enemy and instead targeting me?"
However, Konoha had a different idea, especially Nara Shikaku, who was very quick-witted. After a brief exchange, he immediately realized that the person in front of him was the real threat.
"This enemy in front of us is holding off dozens of our elite ninjas all by himself. He's an enormous threat. Has Inoichi called for reinforcements yet?"
"Don't worry, Shikaku, I've already notified the ninjas from the Hyuga Clan, Aburame Clan, Inuzuka Clan, and Sarutobi Clan clans to come and help. They'll be here soon!"
"Okay, Chōza, I'm counting on you. You have to hold this guy off!" Nara Shikaku said to his teammate Akimichi Chōza.
"No problem, watch this, Super Multi-Size Technique!" Instantly, Akimichi Chōza grew to tens of meters tall, unleashing a barrage of palm strikes at Tianqi.
While dodging the attacks from the giant arm, Tianqi also had to avoid being controlled by Inoichi Yamanaka and Nara Shikaku, and other ninjas would occasionally fill in the gaps with their attacks. Tianqi gritted his teeth.
Damn it, this is so frustrating! I've never fought such a frustrating battle before. If I wasn't afraid of exposing my identity and crippling them, I could have easily crushed these bastards. I'll never do anything so frustrating again!
If a group of Ino-Shika-Chō plus a bunch of small fry is this difficult to deal with, what's the point of playing if they come again?
As the saying goes, good things don't come true, but bad things do. Just as Tianqi was praying that no more people would come, a group of ninjas suddenly appeared nearby.
"Insect Sphere!" The Aburame Clan released a swarm of insects that flew towards Tianqi.
"Holy crap! Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!" Tianqi saw the attacking insects and immediately used Fire Release Ninjutsu to burn them to death.
However, just as Tianqi was breathing fire to burn the insects, several whirlwind-like things crashed into them.
"Fang Passing Fang!!!!"
"Hmm!!!" Tianqi jumped up with a push of his feet, dodging several whirlwind-like attacks.
"These dog owners are here too! Are they trying to mess with me? I don't believe things can get any worse!" Just as Tianqi was thinking this, his gaze fell directly on a group of Hyuga ninjas who were charging up and aiming at him.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!!!" The Hyuga Clan members launched a long-range attack, sending dozens of palm winds hurtling towards Tianqi.
"Holy crap! Are you messing with me? Do you really think I'm made of clay? Watch how I shatter you all! Boil Release - Super Strength Impact!" Seeing that dodging was getting difficult, Tianqi directly used the Boil Release provided by the Tailed Beast to smash the Hyuga Clan's empty palm with a single punch.
Such power! He shattered the Hyuga Clan's ranged attack with a single hand. But it seems this guy doesn't intend to kill us. What's going on? After fighting for so long Nara Shikaku finally realized that none of them seemed to be seriously injured, which left him completely baffled.
"I've been so tolerant of you all, and yet you're still growing in number. Do you really think I'm easy to bully? I'm not going to hold back anymore. No one here today will escape!" With that, Tianqi began Hand Seals.
"Oh no, this guy wasn't even going all out before! Everyone, retreat quickly! We're counting on the Hyuga Clan!" Seeing that the opponent was about to unleash a powerful attack, Nara Shikaku quickly told everyone to retreat.
The others retreated quickly, Hyuga Main Family moved to the front, awaiting the enemy's next move.
"Lightning Release - Lightning Dragon Roar!" A thunder dragon hundreds of meters long appeared, circling around Tianqi.
"What terrifying Lightning Release! This guy..." Nara Shikaku was secretly shocked as he watched this scene. With this kind of strength, killing them would be too easy. If the other party hadn't been holding back, they would probably be corpses by now.
"Die!" Tianqi controlled the giant thunder dragon, preparing to launch an attack downwards.
The Thunder Dragon raised its head and let out a roar before swooping down.
"Here it comes, everyone get ready!" As the enormous thunder dragon charged down, the leader of the Hyuga Clan immediately reminded those around him.
"Rotation!!!" When the thunder dragon was still three meters away, dozens of people immediately released the secret technique "Rotation" for defense.
Instantly, the entire area was filled with flying dust and smoke, successfully blocking the view. Tianqi's powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu only stirred up dust and did not kill a single person.
"Hahahaha, you bunch of fools have all been fooled by me! I don't have time to waste here with you today. I'll learn from you another time. I'm off!" After mocking the group of ninjas, Tianqi took to the air and flew away, heading towards Orochimaru's location.
"He can fly! Oh no, we've been tricked! His goal is to get us to do something! Quick, after him!" Realizing he'd been fooled, Nara Shikaku glanced at the direction the enemy had gone and saw that it was where the Third Hokage had gone. He quickly led his men in pursuit.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya rushed back to Konoha, summoned the Toad of Mount Myoboku to suppress Orochimaru's three-headed serpent, and led the Konoha Ninja in a defensive battle.
Tianqi flew to the outside of the Four Purple Flames Formation and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to pull Orochimaru through a struggle.
"Orochimaru, what the hell are you doing? I'm being ganged up on by hundreds of elite clan ninjas outside, and this isn't over yet! I'm telling you, I can't take this anymore. If you don't finish this soon, I'm running away!"
