This kind of thing depends on both strength and ability.
It also depends on a certain degree of luck. The target chosen by Deidara, when the three of them approached a certain area, Itachi also made a decision to take action after observing the appearance and aura.
"Do it!"
Wait until another group of patrol officers leave.
Under Itachi's instructions.
The three little ones also took action decisively.
"Who!?"
This directly triggered the battle.
Although the strength of this Kusa Ninja is not weak, it is the Jōnin before Kusagakure, but by the standards of Five Great Shinobi Villages, it can only be regarded as a Elite Chūnin, which Itachi can easily handle alone.
Now we have the assistance of Kurotsuchi and Deidara.
Several other Kusagakure Genin were also killed easily.
"Sharingan!"
This patrolling Kusa Ninja team was not given any chance to resist or send a signal. When several other Kusa Ninjas were lying in a pool of blood, the leading middle-aged man Kusa Ninja was also turned over and restrained by Weasel. He directly used Sharingan to pull him into Genjutsu World!
In Genjutsu World.
Itachi also learned some very important information from this Kusagakure Jōnin very easily.
'Dodai, Darui, Two-Tailed Jinchuriki, and the so-called Box of Paradise!? '
After seeing this part of the intelligence moment.
Itachi's expression became very solemn.
"How's it going? Itachi-san? Do you have any important information? Do those guys at Kumogakure really have any other preparations?"
Kurotsuchi, who was sitting nearby, saw a very curious look in his bright pupils when he saw Itachi's expression change.
Two-Tailed Jinchuriki This is the information I learned before.
Is there anything more exciting and explosive than this?
It can't be that Kumogakure and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki were sent out together, right? Or is it that the Kumogakure side really plans to use this place as a stronghold to launch an all-out war against them Iwagakure?
"There is indeed a relatively important piece of information, and it must have something to do with Kumogakure, but the more information is on Kusa Ninja's side. We have to confirm it. It happens to be not too far from here!"
Itachi took a deep breath and said with a stern expression.
It must be said.
Luck is really important sometimes.
You must know that the so-called Alliance Treaty content between the four elders Kusagakure and Kumogakure is only known to a certain number of people, especially on the Kusa Ninja side. Apart from the four elders and Mui, the most important Jōnin, only a few people can learn about it.
And the Kusa Ninja captured by the Weasels this time was one of them.
'A universal treasure that can grant all wishes? '
Of course Itachi would not believe such nonsense. If there really was such a terrifying ninja tool, would Shinobi World be in such an endless war situation now?
The former Sage of Six Paths could have brought world peace a long time ago, right?
So what Itachi can deduce is that this so-called Box of Paradise should be some kind of powerful Noble Phantasm!
Something that can exert extraordinary power.
And what exactly!
I just want them to investigate further!
Kurotsuchi and Deidara naturally would not oppose Itachi's opinion. The policy of action of their team was to obey Itachi's command in everything.
This has become a fixed habit in the three years since graduation.
"Then you must pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times. If any Kusa Ninja or Kumo Ninja approaches, you must report it as soon as possible!"
The next step is to go deep into a more dangerous area. You must be more careful, not to mention the most dangerous one Two-Tailed Jinchuriki, but if you are surrounded by dozens or hundreds of Kumo Ninja and Kusa Ninja!
It would be difficult for the three of them to escape.
From Kusa Ninja just now, Itachi learned that Kumo Ninja in the special operations team sent by Kumogakure this time are all elites!
"Well, don't worry, Itachi!"
Deidara also nodded heavily.
"So!"
After Itachi took a deep breath, he executed that Kusa Ninja.
Swing your arms down with force.
The three little ones also straightened their bodies and headed towards the predetermined direction at high speed. As for the Kusa Ninja who fell in a pool of blood, they had no time to take care of them. They would be discovered sooner or later anyway, so there was no need to deal with them!
If all goes well.
The moment these Kusa Ninja deaths were discovered.
They can already start evacuating. If there is any accident, it will not make any difference whether these dead Kusa Ninja are discovered or not.
Now is the race against time.
If you can save more time, you have to strive for more.
The bold and careful three little ones sneaked straight into more dangerous areas, which increased the risk of exposure.
In the front position.
Akatsuchi also fought and hide-and-seek with Kusa Ninja and Kumo Ninja repeatedly.
Still trapped in a bitter battle.
Because I don't want Kusagakure's plan to be affected.
When the arrival of Akatsuchi is detected.
Dodai also decisively ordered Darui to lead some Kumo Ninja to support the Kusa Ninja who were defending in the outer area.
Akatsuchi, who had been able to do it with ease before, wanted to attract as much attention as possible, had to wait until Darui arrived.
"Boom!"
"Storm Release!"
"Earth Release!"
"Bang!"
This time the battle has entered a fierce stage.
Even though Darui is still young and immature at this moment, he definitely possesses the power of Elite Jōnin, infinitely approaching the level of Quasi-Kage, When Lightning Release restrains Earth Release, even if Akatsuchi is slightly stronger, it is really difficult to get a bargain with Darui!
"Crash!"
Lightning flashes of light bloomed one after another.
"Earth Release—The Art of Earth Wall!"
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
Unparalleled thunder and lightning.
The Earth Release technique released by Akatsuchi has been penetrated time and time again. Only Akatsuchi's own strongest Earth Release technique - the powerful rock giant created by Earth Release: Rigid Arm Technique can barely block Darui's thunder Ninjutsu technique!
But in front of Kekkei Genkai——Storm Release released by the fusion of the two Chakra attributes of 'thunder' and 'water'.
"Storm Release—Laser Circus!"
The rock giant created by Earth Release: Rigid Arm Technique also seems a little bit irresistible.
"Uh-huh!"
"Bang!"
Moreover, this technique is not only powerful, but compared to the ordinary Ninjutsu, Darui can be easily guided with precision.
Facing the bombarding aurora.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the rock giant that was shattered by forceful bombardment again.
Akatsuchi's expression also became very ugly. He really didn't expect that in Kumo Ninja's surprise attack force this time, apart from Two-Tailed Jinchuriki and Dodai, the two most troublesome characters, there would be such a powerful and young Kumo Ninja!
Not much to say.
Just with this Lightning Release Nintaijutsu, as well as Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, Akatsuchi, we can be sure that the white-haired and dark-skinned Kumo Ninja boy in front of us must be the most outstanding genius in the next generation of Kumogakure, at least one of them!
The battle between the two has lasted for more than an hour.
The scene seemed as if Akatsuchi still had the slightest upper hand, but Akatsuchi knew very well how strong the boy opposite was.
Even if the rock giant created by his own Earth Release: Rigid Arm Technique can be repaired by constantly outputting Chakra, after this round and round, he must be the one who consumes more in such a battle.
You consume more Chakra than your opponent, and you can't really form a suppressive advantage. You just need to delay it longer.
He must be the one who loses in the end!
Originally, the best choice would have been to retreat. Anyway, his goal was to attract more attention from Kusa Ninja and Kumo Ninja from the front. There was no need to keep fighting. However, the Iwagakure Ninja he led was now surrounded by the same number of Kumo Ninja and more Kusa Ninja!
If I pull away here, I will leave.
These companions must be completely annihilated.
He deliberately wanted to distance himself to support his companions and create an opportunity for his companions to retreat.
However.
"Lightning Release—Lightning Release: Exciting Wave!"
"Storm Release!"
As long as Akatsuchi shows a little bit of that attitude.
Darui, who had some reservations before, will rush forward regardless, and use his Lightning Release or Storm Release spells to forcibly stop Akatsuchi.
Such a situation can be described as somewhat difficult.
It made Akatsuchi's face look even harder.
And that is when Akatsuchi made up his mind to give it a try and create an opportunity.
"Huh? Storm Release? This is also a relatively rare Kekkei Genkai. It seems that you should be the most valued person among the next generation of young Kumo Ninja among Kumogakure, Fourth Raikage? With such strength at this age, you are indeed considered outstanding!"
Suddenly.
A faint voice sounded from the left side of Akatsuchi.
When I heard this familiar voice.
Akatsuchi were also stunned for a moment.
Then the slender and upright figure came into their eyes, which was different from the ecstatic look of Akatsuchi.
Darui, who was in the opposite position, changed his expression, and there was a very dignified look on his face.
"Shōji!"
"Uchiha Shōji!"
The person who came was none other than Uchiha Shōji who had previously volunteered to Third Tsuchikage in Iwagakure to personally deal with the joint invasion of Kusa Ninja and Kumo Ninja.
Judging from the distance and travel speed between the two ninja villages, it would take about a day and a half, or even more.
From the time we received the frontline news from Iwagakure to the moment when the fight broke out between Akatsuchi and Darui, it took most of the past day.
That is to say.
It should have taken Shōji about half a day to arrive, but on the way, Shōji was a little worried about whether the three little guys Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi would really participate in this situation, so he took the initiative to abandon the Anbu he was carrying and ordered them to join the border troops before rushing to the front line.
Shōji himself increased his speed to the extreme.
Kankan arrived at this time.
"Akatsuchi-san, I leave those Kusa Ninja and Kumo Ninja to you, leave this little guy to me!"
Shōji smiled slightly at Akatsuchi and said.
In terms of age, Shōji, who is less than 20 years old, and Darui, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, should be considered young people of the same era.
But at this moment, these words came out of Shōji's mouth.
No matter it is Akatsuchi or the hostile Darui, there is no sense of violation. The reason is very simple. Akatsuchi already knows Shōji wants to become the Lord Fourth Tsuchikage of his own ninja village. His many previous strong records have also invisibly improved the status of Shōji's Shinobi World.
The world of ninjas is very simple.
The only universal truth is - the strong are respected and strength is supreme!
In terms of strength, record, and prestige of Shinobi World, Shōji is definitely ahead of Darui N. Therefore, in such a game, there would be nothing strange about saying such words.
"Yeah!"
Hear the words of Shōji.
Akatsuchi naturally nodded immediately.
He has no doubt about the strength of Shōji.
At this moment, without looking back, he jumped up and, together with the rock giant he summoned, rushed towards the battle group not far away with an extremely ferocious momentum.
above the scene.
Only two people, Shōji and Darui, were left.
Although Darui is very clear that once Akatsuchi joins the battle group on the other side, the situation will definitely turn around instantly.
But at this moment, he can no longer actively intercept Akatsuchi like before.
Shōji in the opposite position brought a great sense of coercion to Darui at this moment. I had always heard how strong Uchiha Shōji was, but in the end it was only based on information on paper, and even said that it came from the pride of young people of the same generation!
Darui really doesn't think he will definitely lose to Uchiha Shōji!
But at this moment, when he faced the majestic and awe-inspiring aura coming from Shōji, Darui realized what a terrifying existence this 'peer' in front of him who was only three or four years older than himself was.
Muscles tightened all over.
The single exposed pupil clearly revealed a very solemn color.
This is the biggest enemy I have encountered since becoming a ninja!
I must cheer up ten thousand times.
Darui really realized that the next battle was not a question of whether he could win, but whether he could find an opportunity to retreat or wait for support to arrive!
It is different from Darui, whose heart strings are extremely tense.
Shōji in the opposite position still has a leisurely attitude, even though the person standing in front of him at this moment is Fifth Raikage in Original Work, and his Storm Release has considerable power.
But it is limited to the intensity of Kage Level or even Quasi-Kage level.
Not to mention Darui, who is still very immature at the moment.
Even during the Fourth Shinobi World War period in Original Work, Darui has grown to the level of Kage Level, but it is not enough in front of the current Shōji.
To be honest, after my eyes were upgraded to Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, there were only a few people above Shinobi World that Shōji could catch my eye.
Not to mention that Dōjutsu Power has been further strengthened, and now Sage Mode has been initially mastered!
Now Shōji has enough confidence to imitate his own Ancestor Madara to fight against Five Kage alone, and easily suppress the scene!
Oh, maybe Shōji will be more difficult and not so easy.
After all, it is now three fires, not five fires, and four winds, not five winds. Fourth Raikage has been blessed by Byakugan.
The Five Kage in this stage is still stronger than the Five Kage who fought against Madara in Original Work!
But there is no doubt about the confidence and confidence of one against five.
There is really no need to take Darui and Shōji seriously.
"I should be able to get the most accurate information from you!"
But no matter how little you look down on it, Shōji will not give Darui any chance. A lion must fight a rabbit with all his strength!
The lesson that villains die from talking too much and pretending to be bad is profound. Shōji.
Even if he doesn't consider himself a villain.
He was also resolute when the words fell.
"Boom!"
It just burst out with an extremely powerful Lightning Release Chakra.
In a flash of lightning, it quickly approached the location of Darui.
A wave of surging air spread across the air.
Darui's pupils suddenly shrank.
"So fast!"
Of course, Darui didn't know that this wasn't Shōji's full force, it was just an explosion of 60 to 70% speed.
If I had known, it would probably have been even more difficult to accept.
Because the speed and power displayed by Shōji at this moment are already comparable to, or even slightly surpassed by, that of Lord Raikage!
This overwhelming force.
"Hundan!"
Darui bit his lips tightly.
"Storm Release—Laser Circus"
Imprints formed quickly.
Ninjutsu released to the extreme.
"Haha!"
Storm Release laser flashed from the front, Shōji just smiled slightly, and Thunder Marsh burst out further.
"Uh-huh!"
Tachi was whipped out from behind.
"Buzz!"
A cold light filled the air, a blue light and shadow clung to it, and a lilac halo shone above the tip of the knife.
"Bang!"
With one wave.
Block the laser from the front.
"What!?"
In the extremely shocked expression of Darui.
The Storm Release laser he released himself was forcibly split apart by Shōji's blade!
"Boom!"
A wave that explodes straight away.
Lightning Armor wrapped up.
Shōji is not damaged at all.
The next second was the azure figure forced into Darui's closest position, and Tomoe Sharingan's pupils slowly turned.
Capture the figure accurately and clearly.
"How can it be repaired?"
Facing Tachi, which carries the power of thunder.
Darui had a cold look on his face and quickly drew out the long knife from his back.
The same Lightning Release Chakra is attached.
"Keng!"
One chop.
One!
Fierce sparks burst out.
"!?"
A huge force passed on.
In the collision that lasted less than a second, Darui felt his arms tremble, and his legs suddenly sank to the ground.
"Uh-huh!"
A completely suppressed situation.
A blooming cold front.
Thunder spread all of a sudden.
"Zizzizizi!"
Hit moment.
"Ah!?"
Darui couldn't help but let out an extremely shrill scream, and thunder spread quickly.
Even if Shōji is not at full strength.
It is simply not something that the current Darui can bear.
Darui's original plan was to use the opponent's power to turn back and distance him immediately after the contact, but he didn't expect Shōji to completely see through Darui's intention.
This is not the angle of the bombardment at all.
But the angle of pressing down.
Forcibly restraining Darui on the spot.
The shock of thunder.
Immediately afterwards.
"Sharingan!"
Tomoe slowly turned in the pupils.
"Not good!"
When their eyes met.
Darui looked horrified.
Just want to avoid the eyes.
However, one step is too late, and every step is too late.
"Illusion—Demonic Illusion: Hell-Viewing Technique!"
It was only when their eyes met for that tenth of a second.
Shōji activated his huge mental power and pulled Darui into his Genjutsu World in an instant!
The body that had been struggling violently before was completely stagnant at the moment when the spirit was completely dominated by Shōji.
There was a dull look on his face.
"Hoho, is it really Box of Paradise? But Kumogakure only sent Dodai and Two-Tailed Jinchuriki. Sir Fourth Raikage, don't you look down on us Iwagakure too much!"
One second later.
Shōji obtained all the information he wanted from Daru Inari, reopened his eyes, and restored his clear pupils.
When Shōji raised a beautiful arc on the corner of his mouth.
"Uh-huh!"
The falling blade.
"Pfft!"
The body and head were cut in half, and blood splattered.
This Fifth Raikage in Original Work can be called the most outstanding person in the next generation of Kumogakure, but he died tragically under the blade of Shōji!
It can be said that from the moment Shōji appeared on the scene, Darui had no way to survive. Even if Darui in Original Work had grown to its peak, it could indeed have struggled and resisted for a while, and had the slightest possibility of escaping.
But Darui, who only possesses the strength of Quasi-Kage, which is not even interesting, has no possibility of escaping and surviving.
As for killing Fifth Raikage in Original Work.
Shōji didn't have any fluctuations in his heart. Compared with the enemies he really needed to face, Darui was just a slightly stronger ant at best.
With Shōji's current strength.
If you are not at the Strong Kage level, you are not worthy of Shōji's serious attention!
To put it bluntly, the only Fourth Raikage that has enough value to arouse the interest and attention of Shōji among the current Kumogakure is Byakugan, and there are only three Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
And Shōji is disposing of Darui.
The battle group on the other side still hasn't finished fighting yet.
Although Akatsuchi joined.
But the number of Kusa Ninja and Kumo Ninja is still greater after all. Shōji is a singular point, or it should be said that Uchiha Clan has Sharingan is very perverted, which also leads to Shōji being able to kill those Jōnin like melons and vegetables when they are at the Kage Level level.
But generally speaking.
Jōnin will not be so unbearable when facing Kage Level. He has a certain degree of resistance. Akatsuchi can only be regarded as an existence at the Quasi-Kage level. When facing Jōnin, it will naturally require more effort.
Seeing this scene, Shōji planned to help again.
"Ouch!!!"
A loud roar suddenly resounded throughout the world, and a huge Chakra wave could be sensed!
Accompanied by the violent vibration that was transmitted!
Shōji suddenly turned his head and looked at the direction where Kusagakure was.
In the sky above the village, a monster with a dark body, a pair of huge fleshy wings on its back, and a pair of giant feet like a pair of cow's hooves came into view Shōji.
It was almost the moment I saw this monster.
"Satoru!"
The name of this monster appeared in Shōji's mind.
