The figure appeared out of the wind and snow, which did not surprise me.
" Ōnoki, I didn't expect you to live to this day. You must still remember how you fought for the village's interests after the war."
The sound was faint, quietly concealed by the wind and snow. Ōnoki lowered his eyelids, his expression complex.
"Ah, but Master Wu, I am not going to do that this time, or rather, I cannot do it."
He was somewhat surprised, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Looks like you haven't quite degenerated into a stubborn old man yet. Watch out..."
The light gathered again in his palm, and Ōnoki looked at his master with a complicated expression, specks of azure spreading across his body.
"Under normal circumstances, I would actually prove my strength as your disciple to you, but this is a war concerning the survival of the Ninja World, so I'm sorry..."
" Dust Release: Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"
The transparent barrier suddenly expanded, engulfing the wind and snow within it. A terrifying explosion and flashes of light briefly turned a snow curtain into wisps of dust that scattered in all directions.
His eyes held a complex expression, hinting at doubt.
" Ōnoki? Was that Shadow Clone just now?"
"Immortal Technique: Dust Release - Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"
In an instant, a massive pillar of light, several times larger than the Second Tsuchikage, descended from the sky. The Senjutsu Chakra Dust Release, amplified by Natural Energy, completely engulfed Mu's figure within it.
boom!!!
The distant snow-capped mountains turned to dust in the attack, briefly clearing away the howling blizzard.
Beneath the heavy snowfall, Ōnoki gazed at the Natural Energy permeating his body with a complex expression, filled with helplessness.
His keen understanding of the situation made him realize that even if the war ended, the future of the Ninja World would ultimately be guided by that guy in Konoha.
" Sealing Squad, seal it completely before Master Wu is resurrected."
In the biting wind and snow, a black eagle with ink marks glides in, while a dark-haired boy with skin so pale it's almost sickly holds a calligraphy brush and swiftly sketches on the unfolded, enormous scroll.
"Immortal Technique: Super Beast Scroll - Tiger Vision Staring Bullet!"
Several enormous, ink-stained White Tiger, braving countless snowstorms, tore at Wu's body, which was gradually gathering dust.
The next moment, a huge white scroll enveloped it and gently landed on the ground.
"Seal complete."
The young black-haired boy landed on the ground, Ōnoki showed a hint of surprise. To be able to use such excellent ninjutsu at such a young age, Konoha really has a lot of talented people.
Pfft!
The short blade, gleaming with white light, pierced into the White Zetsu's body, eliminating the enemy that had emerged from beneath the ground, attempting to take away the Second Tsuchikage.
"Don't be careless, Sai. Those guys, like the surrounding plants, can't be detected in Sage Mode. Just use the naked eye."
"Yes, Brother Xin."
Inside the Allied Forces command center, Ōnoki swiftly and decisively resolved the matter of the Second Tsuchikage, immediately eliciting cheers and jubilation from the command center.
"Immediately send the Third Tsuchikage to provide support in other regions. As for those guys who like to emerge from the frozen ground... contact Iwagakure's Kitsuchi and have him lead the Earth Release team to immediately use large-scale Earth Release ninjutsu!"
Nara Shikaku immediately came up with a solution.
Meanwhile, in the Kitsuchi area in the center of the battlefield.
"Have you decided on the direction?"
Hizashi Hyuga nodded slightly and quickly informed them of the location of the majority of White Zetsu rushing to the battlefield.
"All Earth Release team, prepare! Sage Art: Earth Release - Opening Earth Rising Excavation!"
In an instant, the numerous Earth Release ninjas who had finished condensing their chakra nodded solemnly, and their hands landed on the ground, with invisible chakra spreading for hundreds of miles around.
Moments later, volcanoes rose from the ground, and countless White Zetsu flew into the sky from the permafrost like oil gushing from a well.
"Tung oil ready, Fire Release squad, prepare! Fire Release: Oil Flame Bullet!"
Countless drops of pitch-black tung oil, resembling raindrops suddenly falling from dark clouds, White Zetsu into black and white, while fireballs, like crimson meteors, splashed into it, causing a series of chain fires.
This scene resembled a real volcanic eruption, making the Land of Snow, which is shrouded in blizzards all year round, stage a volcanic eruption.
In the distance, Hozuki Gengetsu.
"It's truly rare to see Ninja Village belonging to the Five Great Nations cooperating so seamlessly. Has the quality of ninjas improved to this level since the Second Great Ninja War?"
"Surprised? The progress of the times will eventually be astonishing. This is a revolution that belongs to the ninja era, Third Mizukage."
Hot liquid was expelled from pale pink lips. Its strong corrosiveness corroded the outer shell of the Summoning: Giant Clam, turning it into smoke and dust and returning it to the spirit world.
" Fifth Mizukage, the younger generation of Kirigakure is truly remarkable. You found my true form in such a short time. How did you discover it?"
Hozuki Gengetsu somewhat puzzled. Although he hadn't personally activated the Genjutsu, the Magical Illusion: Steaming Pavilion was the perfect cover. How could it have been exposed?
"Oh, you're wondering? This is all thanks to this Secret Jutsu, the Silent Blood Armor, which allows every user to perfectly inherit the perception and chakra boosts of Sage Mode."
"In other words, the Third Mizukage's Genjutsu cannot fool us who possess the senses of a sage. Please remain asleep and do not become someone else's pawn."
In a short while, the Third Mizukage, entangled in the highly corrosive solution, smiled broadly and looked around.
" The Silent Blood Armor, the guy who dares to provide such a powerful Secret Jutsu to everyone is a madman. I really wish I were born in this era so I could have a good fight with him."
The next second, a large amount of sand and dust gathered, and a pyramid-shaped Sealing Jutsu rose from the ground. Sand spikes filled with azure spell energy pierced through Hozuki Gengetsu's vital points.
"That way, he won't be able to use those troublesome ninjutsu that cause steam explosions."
Gaara turned to look at Gaara, who was floating in mid-air, Mei Terumi a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"I remember you are..."
"Here, there are only ninjas from the Allied Shinobi Forces; there are no other identities."
Gaara's gaze shifted, and the Sand Rain annihilated those who were lurking in the shadows, attempting to reach for the sealing talisman. One by one, the ninjas turned into White Zetsu and collapsed to the ground.
"Without the Silent Blood Armor, you dare to disguise yourself as a member of the Allied Forces? Aren't you afraid of being exposed too quickly?"
With Mei Terumi smiled brightly. Even if the opponent could summon the Kage of the past as pawns, the scales of victory were still tipping in favor of the Allied Forces.
In the Land of Snow, in a secret underground chamber.
"Even with the help of the previous Kage, the tide of battle cannot be turned. The coordinates of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki have been determined. Shall we make our move now?"
Black Zetsu murmured softly, and the figure sitting on the stone throne slowly rose.
"From this day forward, the world will grow through pain, Summoning Jutsu: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"
" Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation..."
