No Need for More Words
As if he had found a pillar of support, Teyano Hisashi looked at Qingcheng with a wronged expression and said, "Fifth Hokage, we fought with the guys from Hidden Mist Village all morning and not a single one of us died. But that damned one-eyed Obito rushed up and killed more than fifty of us. You must stand up for us!"
Hyuga Natsuen also looked anxious, pointing behind him and urgently calling out, "Hokage -sama, the captain went that way this morning, about a kilometer away!"
Hearing his subordinates' vehement accusations against Uchiha Obito, Qingcheng sternly said, "You all rest here. I'll go find them. If Uchiha Obito dares to be arrogant in front of me, I will definitely take his dog's head to atone for the sins of the Konoha ninjas."
Qingcheng then warned his subordinates, "Don't wander off. The situation here is complicated. You all wait here for the Konoha army, and then we'll act together."
Upon hearing the Fifth Hokage's command, all the border ninjas stood up and respectfully replied, "Understood, Hokage- sama. We await your orders."
Qingcheng immediately activated the Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye and stared at the battlefield. Through the Sharingan's perception, he spotted Hayakumo Sōma and several fleeing Konoha Ninja.
Qingcheng, clad in the Lightning God Armor, immediately used the Lightning Body Flicker Technique, his body vanishing from the spot like a bolt of lightning.
The Konoha Ninja were all stunned, feeling as if they were hallucinating. The Hokage, who had just been on a tree branch, vanished in a Hokage, like a bolt of lightning.
Only Hyuga Natsuen could barely make out the Hokage's movements; he was as swift as a phantom, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
Teyano Hisashi still in shock. He stretched out his hands and started rubbing his eyes, then said with a bewildered look, "Hyuga Natsuen, was that the Flying Thunder God Technique just now? Or was I hallucinating, and the Fifth Hokage just turned into lightning and disappeared?"
Hyuga Natsuen, equally surprised and full of admiration, said, "It wasn't the Flying Thunder God Technique, it was the Fifth Hokage's Body Flicker Technique. His Body Flicker Technique is like lightning, his movements are dazzling. I only managed to see it clearly because I had my Byakugan activated."
The Konoha border ninjas chimed in, saying, "No wonder the Fifth Hokage could travel from Konoha to the border in just one day. With that kind of Body Flicker Technique, he could probably reach the Land of Water by tomorrow!"
Meanwhile, Hayakumo Sōma kept his eyes fixed on the fleeing Konoha Ninja, constantly using the Shadow Clone Jutsu and occasionally throwing a couple of smoke bombs behind him to confuse Obito's Sharingan.
Obito was also dazzled by the Shadow Clones of these Konoha Ninjas, unable to distinguish the real from the fake for a moment, so he unleashed another Konoha: Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu.
A barrage of wooden spikes shot out from Obito's hands, as swift as a Gatling gun; in an instant, hundreds of spikes were launched at the Konoha Ninja, aiming to wipe them out.
Originally, there were seven border ninjas, plus thirteen Shadow Clones, but after encountering these dense wooden spikes, three of them died instantly. Another Konoha Ninja, unable to dodge in time, was struck in the back by numerous wooden spikes, screaming in agony, spitting blood, and lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
Hayakumo Sōma and was filled with rage. He shouted, "Uchiha Obito! You bastard, I will never let you get away with this! Take this! You traitor, I will cut off your head!"
Hayakumo Sōma struck Obito like a thunderbolt, causing him to freeze in shock. Obito then shouted, "Traitor to Konoha! I was never Konoha person! I'm just a ghost from hell, someone who deserved to die long ago!"
Three survivors, seeing Captain Hayama charging towards them, cried out as if they had seen a savior, "Captain Hayama, be careful of that missing-nin! We're out of Chakra!"
When Hayakumo Sōma used the Body Flicker Technique earlier that morning, he immediately formed a hand seal and activated the Shadow Clone Jutsu. With several loud bangs, ten Shadow Clones appeared, all wielding katanas and charging towards Obito.
Hayakumo Sōma was well aware that to deal with Uchiha Obito, he had to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu, along with a smoke bomb.
A dozen Shadow Clones fired smoke grenades at Obito, and in an instant, a large amount of smoke filled the ground, completely obscuring Obito's figure.
Qingcheng also saw White Fang in the morning, brandishing his katana and charging into the smoke, preparing to coordinate with his Shadow Clone to unleash "Konoha-Style Kenjutsu: Dance of Ten Days."
The Dance of Ten Days and the Dance of Three Days are not significantly different. The only difference is the number of Shadow Clones Shadow Clone: the former has three, while the latter has Shadow Clone. The former's power is tripled, while the latter's is tenfold.
But the key point is that this kind of swordsmanship is still considered a superficial, ineffective technique. Therefore, Qingcheng immediately shouted, "Step back and hand this traitor over to me. Let me give him a good beating. Without Big Idiot Naruto this time, I don't think he'll escape."
The surviving Konoha border ninjas suddenly saw a bolt of lightning, like a phantom, rush directly into the smoke.
These Konoha border ninjas exclaimed in shock, "Fifth Hokage, you've finally arrived! Thank goodness!"
After saying that, the Konoha Ninja looked back at the center of the smoke, where a large amount of lightning was emerging, accompanied by crackling and rumbling sounds as loud as thunder.
The Konoha Ninja watching the battle exclaimed in shock, "The Fifth Hokage's Lightning Release is even more powerful than those Mountain Barbarians! I think this traitor is going to die at the Fifth Hokage's hands!"
While still performing the Dance of Ten Days, Hayakumo Sōma immediately withdrew from the battlefield after hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, fearing he might be accidentally injured by the lightning. Hayakumo Sōma was well aware that the Fifth Hokage's Ninjutsu were all capable of destroying the world; once unleashed, they could alter the terrain at best, and cause the heavens and earth to collapse at worst.
All the Hayakumo Sōma, not wanting to disturb the Fifth Hokage's battle, otherwise they would be hindering him.
From the center of the smoke, Obito's voice rang out again. Obito roared, "You evil bastard, you actually went to the front lines yourself! Aren't you afraid of the Ninja World War?"
At the center of the smoke, lightning bolts erupted, accompanied by deafening booms and scorching swathes of the ground.
Upon hearing Obito's words, Qingcheng laughed again and shouted, "So what if it's the Ninja World War? Let them fight! I'm not a piece of trash like you, Tenten hiding my face. No need for further words, today I'll thwart your Eye of the Moon Plan!"
As the smoke gradually dissipated in the Hayakumo Sōma saw the Fifth Hokage standing directly on the ground, his entire body crackling with blue lightning, as if he were wearing a suit of Lightning God Armor.
In contrast, Uchiha Obito had already activated his Kamui Intangibility, hiding his body within the Kamui Dimension, leaving only an illusion. He stood in mid-air, confronting the Fifth Hokage at a distance of over a hundred meters, fearing that Qingcheng would use a large-area Space Dojutsu again.
