The Konoha Ninja were shocked, incredulous, and even a little doubtful when they heard their own ninja utter those words... Could one person really withstand a thousand-strong army led by Kage Level expert?
It's truly unbelievable...!
However, the Sunagakure were enraged. This anger was like a volcano about to erupt, needing to be completely released. This guy had previously insulted the Fourth Kazekage's abilities, and now he was insulting them as well, his words arrogant and ignorant of his own limitations.
Is this guy's talk an insult and disregard for our Sunagakure by the powerful Konoha? Such a guy needs to pay the price; his arrogant words must be paid for with blood and death!
" Lord Kazekage, kill him! Kill him! Kill this arrogant Konoha Ninja and let him know the might of the Sunagakure Land of Wind!"
"This guy died because of his provocation. He dared to boast that he could single-handedly block the attack of a thousand of us. Who does he think he is? The God of Shinobi World, Senju Hashirama, who suppressed Nine Tailed Beasts with his own strength? Or Madara Uchiha, who controlled an era?"
"Hmph, I think he's tired of living and looking for death... or maybe he's trying to use this opportunity to get the title of a fallen hero so his family can receive financial assistance from Konoha. It's ridiculous, this guy!"
The Sunagakure stood in the mountains, watching the Crystal Dragon writhing and slithering about. They mocked it with indignation, their eyes filled with hostility and killing intent. These thoughts of resistance could only be subdued and made to submit by overwhelming power.
Among the Sunagakure Puppet Corps troops, a white-haired ninja with wrinkles and age spots stood atop a large rock, looking at Sato Hideaka Crystal Dragon stood like a javelin. He shook his head and sighed, "These young people nowadays... they're really something. This guy seems to be Princess Tsunade's apprentice. It's not surprising that a disciple trained by Tsunade Senju has this kind of personality."
However, Pakura, standing among the Sunagakure ninja, was filled with shock. Having witnessed Sato Hideaka instantly kill over a hundred Sunagakure, she knew that the Blue Asura's strength was absolutely formidable, so much so that it had cast a shadow over her heart.
She held a deep respect for, and even submitted to, a powerful figure like the Blue Asura.
However, despite his boastful claim of defeating the Blue Asura, Lord Kazekage possesses Kage Level strength, the Blue Asura of Konoha, though powerful, seems quite young, and his chakra is definitely not as abundant as the Lord Kazekage's. Defeating the Lord Kazekage would not be an easy task!
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa, lowered his head, his eyes burning with fury beneath the shadows, his voice trembling slightly. "This is the first time, the very first time someone has dared to disregard me like this, Konoha's Blue Asura."
"There are many people in this world who can ignore you, but your strength makes them disdain to make things difficult for you. Simply put, you are not qualified for them to take action! Eight Inner Gates Formation... the sixth gate, the Gate of View, Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder, open simultaneously!"
Standing atop the dragon's head, the green flames around Sato Hideaka rose another three zhang, and ripples began to spread through the air around him, making the entire space seem to tremble. He leaped down and landed on the ground, slamming his right hand onto the ground.
However, while still in mid-air, his slender fingers had already completed a full thirty-nine hand seals in the blink of an eye!
He pressed his right hand to the ground, causing cracks to appear. Sato Hideaka's eyes turned deathly white as he roared, "Come forth..., Lava Giant from Hell, the one who destroys everything! Lava Release: Lava Giant Technique!"
The cracks in the ground spread rapidly, instantly reaching a radius of fifty meters. Red light and scorching heat emanated from the cracks, resembling a scene from the Earth's core or hell, or a microcosm of the apocalypse.
A giant lava hand burst forth from a fissure in the scorching earth, crashing down on the Puppet Corps that was pursuing the Konoha Ninja before Rasa and the others could react. The molten lava instantly melted the forest, and the Puppet Corps was completely engulfed in the lava.
The intense heat of the massive lava created a raging inferno around us, seemingly dyeing half the horizon red, and even tinging the white clouds with rosy hues!
Standing in mid-air, Rasa's eyes were filled with a crimson glow as he witnessed this scene. A raging fire had already broken out in the forest. He muttered to himself, "This... this technique... is it a forbidden technique? It possesses such power..."
"Retreat! Sunagakure ninjas, retreat now... all troops, retreat now!"
Upon seeing this, Karura was the first to react and immediately shouted loudly to the Sunagakure on the mountain and in the valley.
The cracks in the ground were spreading, and magma was spewing from the cracks. The magma was so hot that it could melt and destroy everything. As the magma spewed out and brought intense heat, the forest fire continued to spread, and even Water Release Ninjutsu could not extinguish it.
Shinichi and his men, who had just been arguing about who would cover the rear, were forced to retreat repeatedly. The forest was still ablaze, and the ground was cracking rapidly. The power of the ninjutsu seemed not to have been fully unleashed yet, and they were utterly stunned by what they saw...
"Get out of here quickly, I can't control the power of this ninjutsu." Sato Hideaka turned back to Shinichi and the others and reminded them again, his figure rising rapidly into the air along with the surging waves of lava flowing from the ground.
Shinichi stared at Sato Hideaka with shocked eyes, then waved his hand and led his men in a swift retreat. He was beginning to believe that Sato Hideaka possessed the strength to hold off a thousand Sunagakure single-handedly, based on this technique that had not yet been fully unleashed.
A giant magma hand, shaped like a palm, braced itself against the mountainside. Using this force, its head and chest slowly emerged from the ground, and the entire body rose from the surface to the valley floor. When this ninjutsu was fully revealed before everyone's eyes, they were all stunned...
This is a magma giant, a magma giant that is a full eighty meters tall!
The mountains on either side were only a little over two hundred meters high, while this magma giant was half the height of those mountains. Almost all the Sunagakure were beneath it, and the ninjas in the distant valley were even half-hidden by it. This was a Lava Giant even taller than Tailed Beast...
Sato Hideaka stood on the magma giant's shoulder, panting heavily, one hand resting on its neck. This was the technique Tsunade Senju, a ninjutsu powerful enough to change the course of a battle. With the chakra boost from opening all Seventh Gate, he finally managed to unleash it with difficulty.
"What the hell is this? How... how could there be such a ninjutsu? It's a full eighty... eighty meters tall! This is... this is too exaggerated!"
"This is our enemy, what should we do... how can we fight him? What's the point of fighting him? Forget it... let's just surrender. There's no way we can defeat him, there's no way we can defeat this giant."
"Are we fighting a human? He... he's not human, is he? How could a human possibly unleash such ninjutsu? Absolutely... absolutely impossible. He can't possibly be human. He's just Tailed Beast in human form."
Upon seeing this Lava Giant, the Sunagakure completely lost the courage to resist. Some even trembled and collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by fear, unable to even stand up.
Seeing Rasa's seemingly dazed expression, Karura approached him and shouted, " Rasa, Rasa... quickly organize the entire Sunagakure force to retreat! Let the Water Release ninjas cover the rear... Under this Lava Release, the entire densely forested valley has become a giant furnace. If we don't retreat soon, everyone here will be engulfed by the scorching flames and magma!"
"Retreat! Retreat the entire army... Everyone, get out of this valley. Water Release ninjas, stay behind and put out the fires. The rest of you, all... all evacuate this place."
Rasa finally reacted, roaring loudly as he commanded the Sunagakure beneath his feet and on the mountainsides on both sides. His pride had been completely trampled underfoot by this incredibly powerful forbidden technique.
At that moment, Rasa finally realized just how vast this world truly was...
The Lava Giant stood amidst the sea of fire, the cracks in the ground continuing to widen, and the forest fire spreading relentlessly. The Sunagakure, unable to escape in time, fell into the molten lava fissures and vanished with screams.
There were a few Water Release ninjas who could barely stop the fire with their Water Release Ninjutsu, but they were helpless against the fire and lava!
However, at this moment, the green aura around Sato Hideaka, who was standing on the magma giant's shoulder, was faint, and his face was pale, as if he were on the verge of death, because he had instantly consumed nine and a half percent of his chakra.
Without the support of chakra, this 80-meter-tall Lava Giant would instantly crumble and fall to the ground, at which point he would be powerless to face the revenge of Rasa Karura!
[ Lava Release - Molten Waterfall Burial]
Squeezing out the last bit of chakra from his body's cells, Sato Hideaka placed his hands on the Lava Giant's body and released the last ninjutsu he could muster. After the chakra was completely injected, the Lava Giant instantly changed shape, forming a massive waterfall that seemed to cascade down from the ninth floor...
A red curtain hung down, from which a crimson waterfall of flowing lava descended, like a cataclysmic disaster, surging towards the Sunagakure who were frantically fleeing through the valley, seemingly poised to engulf everything! (To be continued.)
