Ōnoki Is a Good Person
To be honest, fighting the Rock Ninja is much easier than fighting the Cloud Ninja.
The Rock Ninja are indeed quite weak in terms of individual skill.
It wasn't that they couldn't stop the ice spikes, but rather that their teamwork was so poor that it needlessly increased the number of casualties.
With so many people, wouldn't it be better to just charge at them? Why are you actually trying to hide?
What's the difference between this and just standing there and getting beaten?
But since the food was good, he was happy to relax.
"Leaf Village's White Ghost! Don't be so arrogant!"
Finally, a Jonin from the Rock Ninja clan appeared in the crowd, using Earth Release: Hardening Technique to charge forward despite the ice spikes.
He either smashed the ice spikes open with his fists or shattered them with a "clang" when they hit him.
"Oh?" Uchiha Shingen tilted his head slightly, dodging the opponent's Kunai.
He met the punch head-on.
Two fists, both with dark gold skin, clashed together.
Boom!
A surge of air rose up, Uchiha Shingen remained standing, while the Iwagakure Jonin flying backward, coughing up blood.
Boss Kaku's Earth Release Nintaijutsu is really useful.
Combined with his Super Strength Punch, it's incredibly effective.
Unlike Layton Chakra Mode, which is impossible to learn, Earth Release: Earth Spear something he could learn without any difficulty.
There was no way around it; Kakuzu was using the Earth Spear the whole time, Uchiha Shingen would have been doing a disservice to his eyes if he hadn't copied it.
In order to learn how to use the Earth Spear, he went back and began to practice his proficiency with earth-based techniques.
Twenty Shadow Clone were used Tenten, and now, the five elements are finally complete.
He doesn't need a knife at all now. With Earth Spear Nintaijutsu and Lightning Release Body Flicker, why would he need a knife? It's much more comfortable using his hands, and he can also practice his skills at the same time.
After sending his opponent flying with a flurry of punches, Uchiha Shingen, not one to back down, activated his Lightning Release Body Flicker and delivered another punch right to the face.
The Iwagakure Jonin made a 90-degree turn in mid-air and fell vertically.
Another loud crash rang out, Iwagakure Jonin hammered into the ground, seemingly breathing but not taking in any more.
The cutthroat competition among Jonin is truly ruthless.
When the gap reaches a certain level, it's no different from an ordinary Genin Jonin Genin.
The quality of the Jonin Iwagakure is also worrying.
If it weren't for the top few not falling behind, and Ōnoki's Dust Release holding up the prestige, the Rock Ninja army would truly have become synonymous with sheer numbers.
Namikaze Minato was able to instantly kill fifty Iwagakure Jonin with the Flying Thunder God Formation, which was partly due to the fact that the overall quality of the Iwagakure Jonin indeed a notch below.
But this punch stirred up a hornet's nest.
From all directions, dozens or even hundreds of ninjas from this Iwagakure squad who considered themselves somewhat capable rushed forward.
There were seven or eight Jonin among them, which should be all the Jonin in this Rock Ninja squad.
Meanwhile, the lower-ranking Rock Ninja, who were already suffering from psychological trauma from the ice spikes, erupted in cheers.
Unity is strength!
There is strength in numbers!
This is something the Rock Ninja firmly believe.
Behind Uchiha Shingen, another massive ice-sculpted arm rose up, its ice spikes poised to strike.
Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Formation requires the help of others to throw Kunai, but Uchiha Shingen does not.
With the knowledge accumulated from both playthroughs, he is currently considered the strongest in Leaf Village when it comes to the use of Chakra. For him, the Flying Thunder God Seal is essentially a ball of Chakra, and there is no need to be so conventional as to touch it with his hand.
Using the power of form from the Dragon Cave Sage Technique, he could place hand seals wherever his Ninjutsu struck.
With a swing of his arm, ice spikes shot out with a whooshing sound.
The Rock Ninja either intervened to stop them or simply resisted.
Uchiha Shingen's figure disappeared at the same time.
The next moment, he appeared in front of the Rock Ninja as if in no particular order.
The power of the Earth Spear Nintaijutsu lies in the fact that it has both the defense of Earth Release and the explosive output similar to the Senju Great Strength, and it has an explosive effect when it is thrown.
Typical physical defense, magic damage output.
One difference between it and Lightning Release Chakra Mode is that it lacks speed and is a stationary, stationary style.
However, if you get close enough to him and he hits you head-on, unless he knows Lightning Release, he's guaranteed to die.
The reaction abilities of these Rock Ninja are no better than those of the fifty Iwagakure Jonin back then.
The better ones among them only subconsciously exchanged blows with Uchiha Shingen.
So they were all beaten to a pulp.
A true bloodbath that spilled across the sky.
One by one, the broken and incomplete bodies fell into the dust.
The elite fighting force of this Rock Ninja squad was wiped out by Uchiha Shingen in one fell swoop.
The cheers of the Rock Ninja abruptly ceased, and each of them stared in disbelief.
What happened to Jonin, and even the Special Jōnin? They all just vanished without a trace.
Uchiha Shingen had returned to his original position. He smirked and created three Shadow Clones, one for each direction.
Scorch Release: Great Fire Scalding Kill.
Boil Release - A Thousand Dragons Rushing Forth.
Wind Release: Pressure Damage.
The brilliance of Ninjutsu shone once more, accompanied by the pitiful howls of the Rock Ninja.
These guys are so weak, they don't even deserve his Ice Release Majestic Attire.
Chapter 41 Ōnoki is a good person
The sky was overcast and gloomy, and the vast land was covered with rivers of blood and corpses. Limbs and torsos were everywhere, and the dead Rock Ninja stared at the sky with their unwilling eyes.
Carnivorous birds circled in the air, emitting hoarse cries, but dared not land.
Because there are creatures on the earth that frighten them and prevent them from approaching.
Uchiha Shingen stood on the ground; there was no one alive around him anymore.
After a barrage of Ninjutsu attacks, the Rock Ninja squad collapsed, but most of them remained there forever.
Uchiha Shingen successfully completed his mission.
But this is not the end.
The Rock Ninja army only has three squads in total.
The remaining few hundred men fled in a panic, causing instability in the central detachment.
The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, personally oversaw the entire journey.
At this moment, Ōnoki felt he had rested enough and prepared to use Dust Release to show off.
But before he could fly up to deliver warmth to the Konoha Ninja on the other side, he noticed commotion on his own side.
"What's going on?" the old man demanded sternly, questioning the Kage Guard beside him. "We're in the middle of a battle, and instead of focusing on fighting, you're making a scene! What kind of behavior is this?!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Tsuchikage, I'll go and reprimand them right away!" The Jonin beside him barely suppressed his anger.
The strange noises came from his troops.
He made him lose face in front of the Lord Tsuchikage!
He stormed off.
A few minutes later, he returned with a strange expression.
"Lord Tsuchikage..."
"Hmm?" Ōnoki glanced at him sideways.
It's not that he, as the Tsuchikage, is disrespectful; otherwise, why is it such a mess over there?
The Demolition Corps is nowhere to be found, so he's going through menopause and his period at the same time, making him particularly prone to exploding now.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Tsuchikage, our left flank squad has collapsed!"
"Oh?" Ōnoki's nose turned red. "Leaf Village, you're quite capable. Which clan is leading the army?"
"Just one person, Lord Tsuchikage..."
"Absurd! Such people no longer exist!" Ōnoki exclaimed in shock and anger.
Have the village ninjas become this despicable?
That can't be! Is the opponent Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara? Could one person take down an entire squad of them?
The Third Raikage was powerful enough, wasn't he? Even the Rock Ninja Army didn't collapse back then.
"That's what the retreating ninjas said: they... only have a few hundred left."
"Good heavens!" Ōnoki, who had been sitting, jumped to his feet. "I was wondering where the Demolition Corps had gone! Turns out they were right here!"
Her tone and demeanor were spot-on, but her height was a major drawback.
This prevented them from gaining momentum.
However, he was, after all, the Tsuchikage, and had served Tsuchikage for many years, so everyone around him cooperated by making expressions of being shocked by his imposing figure.
After so many years, it's become a bodily instinct for everyone.
The Lord Tsuchikage is the treasure of Iwagakure and must be cherished.
Moreover, they weren't entirely faking it; the old man was quite frightening when he lost his temper.
"Who is that person? Is he still there?" Ōnoki asked.
"It's Leaf Village's White Ghost, Uchiha Shingen. He's still on the battlefield."
"Uchiha Clan..." Ōnoki felt a pang of melancholy for a moment.
The painful memories resurfaced.
Another monster from the Uchiha Clan?
Why didn't it appear ten years earlier? If it had happened then...
"Elbow! Take me to see him!" In his excitement, Ōnoki's voice trembled slightly, but no one cared.
If we can break down the left flank, then we can attack the middle.
If it weren't for Ōnoki, the mid-lane team would have been in a state of panic by now.
The old man was their source of confidence.
The Iwagakure Jonin turned around to lead the way.
Then he heard the sound of wind. He looked up and saw that Lord Tsuchikage had flown away.
Weren't you supposed to lead the way?
"Getting old, I've forgotten everything." Ōnoki's voice came from above. "Asking you to lead the way would be suicide. You guys stabilize the situation here, I'll handle the other side!"
Meanwhile, Leaf Village was also engaging in similar discussions.
"You guys go attack the mid lane. That old man Tsuchikage will definitely come here. I'll hold him off."
Back in his own camp, Uchiha Shingen addressed the ninjas of the three clans with these words.
"Brother Shingen, I'll stay and help you," Uchiha Shisui said. "Right now, um... you know!"
"You know nothing! Don't you dare mimic me. You only learn this stuff and nothing good." Uchiha Shingen refused irritably. "You guys go attack the middle lane. I'll stay here. As long as you break through the middle lane before Ōnoki returns to headquarters, Leaf Village will win this battle."
