"Moreover, most of the people in Konoha will not let me go. Only by joining forces with Madara can I have a chance to defeat Uchiha Meikyō."
Hiruko a breath, then put on the Akatsuki Organization's red cloud black robe over his white outer garment and walked down the mountain.
The time continued until the afternoon.
The ninjas of Sunagakure have been reduced to just over four thousand.
More than 20,000 troops from the four allied nations had completely surrounded this corner of the Golden Wheel Mountain Range.
"From this day forward, the village of Suna will be utterly destroyed."
Looking at the Golden Wheel Mountain Range in the distance, which shone golden under the sunlight, Whitestone couldn't help but sigh.
That's not necessarily true.
Wearing a backless combat suit, the Fifth Kazekage, Pakura, who looked dashing and heroic, stood on the other side of Whitestone and shook his head.
"Perhaps..."
Whitestone sighed.
"It's come to this point, and Madara still hasn't made a move? It seems our old friend is quite busy."
Elsewhere, Meikyō stood in the center of the army, looking at the group of Sand Ninja in the distance whose morale was low and who appeared scattered, and smiled as he spoke to Minato Namikaze beside him.
"Perhaps they really do have something to rely on."
Minato Namikaze, looked serious.
"Rely on?"
Meikyō smiled and looked down at the ground.
"These alone are not enough."
Not enough to wipe out the elite forces of Kumogakure and Iwagakure.
Feeling the thousands upon thousands of White Zetsu hidden in the earth more than a kilometer underground, Meikyō thought to himself.
The ninjas of Sunagakure seemed to have given up resistance, or perhaps they had received some order, and retreated headlong down the mountain.
"Lord Godai, shall we continue the pursuit?"
Nara Shikaku asked the Meikyō.
"Let Shisui and the others go together with the Raikage. Remember, just make sure our people don't suffer too many losses."
With a meaningful look in his eyes, Meikyō glanced again at the towering mountain where the Sand Ninja retreated, and then gave instructions to Nara Shikaku.
This seems to be getting interesting.
Ban, you can go now, but don't let me down!
Yamanaka Inoichi, who was wearing a brainwave amplifier, immediately gave orders to the Shisui unit at the forefront.
Meikyō's previous battles with Fugaku Shisui and Minato took place on the sea, so others did not know Shisui's true strength.
The reason why people like the Raikage are willing to rush to the front is because Shisui Meikyō's younger brother, is also there. Although he is also very strong, he is not beyond the level of a Kage.
This was to convince them that Konoha hadn't used them as a stepping stone.
The front line of the battle.
Something seems off!
The Fourth Raikage crushed the throat of a Sand Ninja with his single arm, squinted at his surroundings, but couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
"How come these Suna ninjas have suddenly become so... tenacious?"
Whitestone used Lava Release to seal a puppeteer, then frowned and looked around.
"Could it be because this is their last battle, a fight to the death, a desperate struggle made by cornered beasts knowing they are doomed to lose?"
Beside the Fourth Raikage, a burly, dark-skinned man asked in confusion.
"Body Flicker Shisui, have any of your Konoha ninjas used their Sharingan and Byakugan to investigate the situation?"
Whitestone asked Uchiha Shisui.
"They gave me the feeling that they were under the influence of Sharingan Genjutsu, but to be able to control so many people with genjutsu at once, the other party must be an Uchiha with extremely profound Sharingan skills."
Shisui wiped the blood from his cheek and answered Whitestone.
"Could it be Madara? If so, then only Uchiha Meikyō himself can contend with him!"
Whitestone seemed to have sensed something was wrong and started thinking of letting Meikyō go first.
In the next instant, the mountain that was being held captive by the Suna began to shake, making everyone momentarily unsteady on their feet.
"What is that?!"
The Byakugan ninja with excellent eyesight stared in horror at the collapsing mountain peak.
"Boom!"
Nine enormous scorpion tails emerged from the collapsed mountain peak.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, what was finally revealed to everyone was a giant puppet scorpion that was over two hundred meters tall.
Two enormous pincers and nine scorpion tails came crashing down on the allied forces.
"Susanoo!"
Shisui let out a low shout, and the blue Susanoo around his body began to condense, eventually transforming into a spear-wielding samurai with wings on his back. With a sweep of his spiraling spear, he deflected several scorpion tails, protecting the main force of Konoha.
However, Iwagakure and Kumogakure were not so lucky.
The Fourth Raikage's figure slammed into a scorpion's tail like a cannonball, halting his advance and sending him flying.
The protective barrier formed by the Lava Release of Whitestone also collapsed upon contact.
With just a few scorpion tails, half the battlefield was swept away in an instant, causing the two ninja villages to lose thousands of men.
"Retreat! Retreat! This is not an enemy that can be dealt with by sheer numbers of ordinary ninjas!"
Whitestone shouted anxiously.
The scorpion's actions did not end there.
The giant scorpion puppet opened its two large pincers and fired countless javelins-like Stinger at the Allied Shinobi Forces below.
Susanoo ninety-nine!
Shisui's blue Perfect Susanoo opened the chest shield and fired countless Chakra arrows, knocking off most of the Stinger.
The remaining portion landed within the allied forces' positions, causing significant casualties to the retreating ninjas.
However, because Shisui's Perfect Susanoo was in front of them, the Konoha Ninja did not suffer too many losses.
"There's another Uchiha with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? Uchiha Shisui, the younger brother of Uchiha Meikyō. It seems you're more suited to deal with him. You've now extracted a portion of the Chakra from over 30,000 ninjas, so you should have the power to activate the Perfect Susanoo, right?"
The core of the giant scorpion puppet, now transformed into a red-haired, handsome young man, asked a barefoot girl beside him indifferently.
"Yes, but my pupil power can only be maintained for about twenty minutes before I can't continue and I need time to recover."
Uchiha Hikari nodded slightly in response to Sasori.
With the help of Madara and Bhiruho, she has now received a transplant of the First Hokage's cells, giving her the ability to regain her eye power.
However, her eye power is still essentially the ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan. Even though her Dojutsu are powerful, she Perfect Susanoo for about twenty minutes.
Uchiha Hikari's petite body leaped off Sasori's puppet, and then began to construct a red Susanoo in mid-air.
"Is this the Uchiha Hikari that Itachi mentioned in his intelligence report? She can copy the Dojutsu of other Mangekyō Sharingan, which means I can't use Water World in front of her!"
Shisui's heart sank slightly, and he swung his cyan spiral spear to meet the attack.
"Uchiha Hikari has appeared, Kushina, it's our turn to step in!"
Minato Namikaze saw the three enormous figures fighting in the distance and turned to Kushina, saying something.
Among the Konoha's top fighters, only this couple were not Uchiha. They were the most suitable to face Uchiha Hikari, who possessed the ability to copy Dojutsu.
A brilliant yellow light streaked across the land as the golden Nine-Tails arrived on the battlefield, immediately unleashing a Tailed Beast Ball at Uchiha Hikari's Perfect Susanoo.
From this moment on, the war has transformed from a traditional ninja battle into a brawl between Gundams.
"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!" ×2
Two enormous Wood Human Technique rose from the ground and walked between mountains of equal height, heading towards the battlefield.
"Fugaku- kun, it seems it's our turn to make our appearance now."
Orochimaru licked his lips and spoke to Uchiha Fugaku beside him, then raised his hands and clapped twice beside him.
One of the accompanying Root ninjas took out a large Sealing Scroll from his back and summoned a huge spherical cockpit.
Orochimaru stepped inside, formed hand Hand Seals, and pressed them onto the ground.
"Ninja Art: Mutually Multiplying Summoning Technique!"
The sealing runes engraved on the outer side of the spherical cockpit spread rapidly, spewing out endless white smoke, and connecting every component of Unit-01 to the system.
This Mutually Multiplying Summoning Technique was modified by Orochimaru from Tobirama Senju's Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tag.
The Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tag can summon multiple Explosive Tag from a single Explosive Tag, much like nuclear fission.
Orochimaru used this principle to allow him to summon the other parts of Unit-01 by carrying only one part of the Unit-01.
Therefore, the position of each summoning talisman, and even the shape of the component it belongs to, are very particular. Fortunately, Konoha has no shortage of masters of Sealing Technique and Space-Time Ninjutsu, otherwise it would have been difficult to meet Orochimaru's requirements.
Just as Orochimaru's Unit-01 was completed, Uchiha Fugaku charged forward in his Perfect Susanoo.
"Wood Release: Wood Style: Wood Dragon!"
The 100-meter-long Wood Dragon was blocked by the Yasakani no Magatama.
With one Susanoo and one Wood Human Technique, Uchiha Fugaku began his battle against the Edo Tensei Hashirama.
On the head of another Wood Human Technique, Bhiruho built himself a wooden chair and sat on it, his hands Hand Seals.
"Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique!"
The Wood Human Technique's two eyes suddenly lit up like searchlights, shooting out beams of Dust Release.
"Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!"
The azure Perfect Susanoo appeared above the Wood Human Technique's head, holding its azure spiral spear horizontally in front of it and channeling its Dust Release into lightning.
"You can also Flying Thunder God?"
Bhiruho somewhat surprised.
"There are many things you haven't thought of!"
Shisui smiled confidently.
The Mirror Body Flicker Technique is a Space-Time Ninjutsu created by combining the Flying Thunder God and the Clone Technique, which can be considered as laying the foundation for learners of the Flying Thunder God.
Shisui possessed the talent for Space-Time Ninjutsu. In addition, he received guidance from Meikyō and Minato Namikaze in this space-time, and even Tobirama Senju would occasionally give pointers to his disciple's grandson. As a result, Shisui unknowingly mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his skill level was quite high, allowing him to use the Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder.
As for Shisui's original opponent, Orochimaru took over.
"I never imagined that you would have the same idea as me and build such a puppet."
Orochimaru's admiring clicks came through the loudspeaker.
"I acknowledge your ability to create such a work of art, Orochimaru. But unfortunately, only my works of art are Eternity, while yours are about to be destroyed by me."
Scorpion's indifferent voice came from the other side, and nine huge scorpion tails quickly sprang out, flying towards Orochimaru.
Orochimaru chuckled and controlled his Unit-01 to launch a counterattack.
Actually, in terms of design, Orochimaru's Unit-01 is uglier.
Snake Uncle's aesthetic sense has always been questionable, and perhaps to suit Orochimaru's own fighting style, this mecha, in addition to its two arms, also has snake-like limbs that match Sasori's scorpion tails.
One is the most outstanding puppet master in the history of the Ninja World, and the other is a scientific craftsman representing super technical power. Thus, a peak showdown of mechanical Gundam unfolds.
The battle between four against four, eight colossal creatures hundreds of meters tall, altered the terrain of half of the Golden Wheel Mountain Range.
In this situation, an ordinary ninja would not even have the ability to participate in combat; to survive, they would have to run several kilometers away.
Even so, the strong winds blowing during the battle, the constantly trembling ground beneath their feet, and the enormous monsters that were clearly visible before them all told them something.
The strength of these combatants is terrifying!
"These people are as strong as God from mythology!"
A ninja from Kumogakure swallowed hard, his face filled with shock.
Whitestone thought about it more deeply.
"Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Meikyō haven't even made a move yet, so could their strength be even greater?"
"I don't know. I just want to know why almost all of these monsters come from Konoha?"
The Fourth Raikage said with a bitter expression.
Whitestone was taken aback, realizing that it was indeed true.
Minato Namikaze, Kushina, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku, Orochimaru —these are all genuine active Konoha Ninja, as well as Uchiha Meikyō, the current Hokage.
On the other side of the battle, the Impure World Reincarnation Hashirama Senju was actually the founder of Konoha, as was Uchiha Madara, though he became Konoha Rogue Ninja.
Bhiruho also defected from Konoha.
As for Uchiha Hikari, he existed before the founding of Konoha, but he was still Uchiha, and the Uchiha belonged to Konoha, which was a consensus among everyone in the Ninja World.
The only exception is Lord Scorpion.
"If there's an opportunity in the future, we should let the village study Puppet Technique properly."
Whitestone suddenly sighed.
With the Sharingan, Wood Release, and the Nine-Tails, other ninja villages have no hope. Judging from the current situation, it seems that Orochimaru and Sasori are currently using a super-large puppet, which they have a chance to create.
"But you need to have the opportunity first."
The Fourth Raikage shook his head.
Anyone with insight can see what the future landscape of the Ninja World will look like.
"Let's see how this war develops. Hopefully, Uchiha Meikyō won't lose to Madara. If he does, our village's chances of survival will be much greater."
