The Konoha Ninja, who were already prepared, unleashed their Earth Release Ninjutsu, creating an effect reminiscent of the Allied Shinobi Forces ' Ten Thousand Ri Earth Style Wall during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
The massive earthen wall successfully blocked the attacks of Water Release and Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
"Continue attacking with Ninjutsu."
Seeing this, Kushina clenched her fists, her whole body starting to feel hot and feverish.
Then came another Lightning Release and Water Release, but it was still blocked.
After all, there were far more Konoha Ninja than the thousand Kumogakure. Moreover, most Kumogakure ninjas were not particularly skilled in Ninjutsu, but were best at Nintaijutsu and close-quarters combat.
" Kushina, we can't break through; there are just too many of them."
One of the Seven Masters Juzo Biwa, reported this.
"Fine, then I'll just have to force a hole in it."
Kushina clenched her fists, ready to be the first to rush forward; she had been waiting for this scene for a long time.
" Lava Release: Molten Fire!"
This is the name Kushina gave to the move herself, since Ziyun's suggested name was too awful.
Neither "Hell Hound" nor " Great Eruption " suited her personality at all, so Kushina decided to name her own moves.
Kushina stretched out her giant fist, solidified magma, emitting gurgling heat, and punched a huge hole in the Ten Thousand Ri Earth Style Wall.
"It's not over yet!"
" Lava Release: Heavenly Fire Technique!"
Kushina instantly melted both of her fists into high-temperature magma, continuously spewing it into the sky. Seconds later, all of this lava turned into boulders with intense heat and flames, rolling down like a scene from hell.
"What... what kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
The Konoha Ninja were stunned by what they saw.
If such destructive power were to hit a camp, one can imagine the horrific casualties that would result, and the damage would likely be no less than that caused by Tailed Beast Bomb.
The Konoha Ninja were stunned by this almost miraculous scene.
Jiraiya Madara Uchiha's Tengai Shinsei in the original story terrified the Allied Shinobi Forces. Now, Kushina's Heavenly Fire Technique is also known as Meteor Volcano.
Although it is not as large as the Tengai Shinsei, its power and range are in no way inferior to the Tengai Shinsei, and may even be stronger.
After all, those were boulders covered in lava; even if you weren't hit by them, being splashed with lava would cause serious injury.
"Quickly, use Water Release!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi also gave an urgent order, and most of the Konoha Ninja used Water Release.
Although the Water Release jutsu extinguished much of the lava, the scorching hot boulders still injured many Konoha Ninja.
Fortunately, this wave of attacks was finally withstood, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
At the same time, the ninjas of Kumogakure and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist seized the opportunity to storm into the Konoha camp and engage in fierce fighting.
"Finally, we've broken into the camp. Now we can start slaughtering to our hearts' content."
With a sinister laugh, Juzo Biwa wielded his Kubikiribōchō and slashed at the nearest Konoha Ninja, taking his life.
The remaining Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist also confronted the Konoha Ninja.
Although the enemy numbers are numerous, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are no pushovers. With Jonin swords, even the weakest among them are at least Quasi-Kage Level, and they show no mercy Jonin.
With the addition of a thousand elite Kumogakure warriors, they could easily take on multiple opponents in close combat without being defeated, and might even gain a slight advantage.
" Senjutsu: Lava Release - Molten Dragon!"
Kushina's face displayed a sage mask, a sign that she had entered Sage Mode.
Over the past seven years, Kushina's talent has naturally enabled her to learn Sage Mode. Although it's not perfect, entering Sage Mode doesn't require a long time to condense; a few seconds are enough.
After all, while Sage Mode is difficult, the difficulty lies in controlling Chakra; if one is not careful, one will be petrified.
However, once the principle is understood, it doesn't take long for someone as talented as Kushina to master Sage Mode. After all, Naruto learned it in just a few days in the original story.
"Continue using Water Release...!"
Seeing the Ninjutsu burst forth again, carrying with it super-high temperature magma, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to order the use of Water Release once more.
However, once Kushina entered Sage Mode, the power of her techniques was amplified, and ordinary Water Release could only be weakened and could no longer extinguish the flames.
Boom boom boom!
The giant dragon formed from magma instantly devoured the lives of dozens of Konoha Ninja.
A ninja who attacks high ground but has low defense will die if he touches scorching lava, let alone with the added power of Sage Mode.
Not only that, Kushina was like an angry goddess, going wherever there were many Konoha Ninja, causing destruction comparable to Uchiha Mikoto 'Perfect Susanoo.
"When did Kushina learn that power?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses.
We must stop Kushina; she poses too great a threat to the Konoha Ninja.
He summoned the Enma and transformed it into the Adamantine Staff. Hiruzen Sarutobi prepared to block Kushina on his own.
"Third-generation old man, I was just looking for you. I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep. That's fine, I can avenge the Uzumaki Clan now."
Kushina changed her target and set her sights on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
A punch was thrown out, accompanied by scalding magma. Hiruzen Sarutobi took out his Enma to try and block it, but he was still knocked away.
Sizzle!
When the Adamantine Staff touched the lava, it made a sound like roasting meat, and also emitted a burnt smell.
"It's so hot, Hiruzen! The opponent's Ninjutsu is so strange, I can barely hold on."
The Enma, held by Hiruzen Sarutobi, cried out.
That attack just now almost burned his skin off; he never expected that the terrifying magma Hiruzen Sarutobi would actually use his own body to block it.
If it weren't for the critical situation and the fact that the two had a good relationship, Enma would have even wanted to turn against Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"I understand, Enma. I'm sorry."
Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected that the thick-skinned Enma would be injured with just one blow.
Is Kushina's Lava Release really that terrifying?
Since that's the case, I need to finish this quickly.
" Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Five Elements: Great Continuous Bullet Technique!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi first used the Shadow Clone Technique to create four shadows of himself. Then, the five Hiruzen Sarutobi used five different Chakra Ninjutsu of different natures— Fire Style, Water Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release, and Wind Release— to attack simultaneously, causing a devastating explosion.
This is arguably Hiruzen Sarutobi's most impressive Ninjutsu, and its range and power are indeed formidable.
It must be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi is quite strong, especially since he is still in his prime.
If he weren't in Konoha, but in a village like Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, he could easily have declared himself the strongest Kage.
" Ninjutsu? Old man Sarutobi, even the most terrifying Ninjutsu is useless against me!"
Kushina sneered. This Ninjutsu was indeed terrifying in its fierce attack, but apart from its large range and great destructive power, it was not very useful.
After all, this is Ninjutsu, not Senjutsu or Sealing Jutsu; even the most powerful Ninjutsu cannot attack one's own body.
Kushina then allowed these Ninjutsu to pass through her body, instantly appearing above Hiruzen Sarutobi.
" Lava Release: Melting Technique!"
The scalding magma caused the surrounding temperature to rise instantly, Kushina punched Hiruzen Sarutobi's skull.
How could that be?
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was immediately alarmed.
His own (Zhao Ma's) Ninjutsu was actually dodged by Kushina.
No, it wasn't that she dodged it, but rather, just like Yeyue Ziyun's lightning body, it passed right through Kushina's body!
Could it be that Kushina also learned that troublesome Ninjutsu Yeyue Ziyun?
Sensing danger instinctively, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately extended his Adamantine Staff to try and block the attack mixed with high-temperature magma.
Sizzle!
Kushina's lava struck the Adamantine Staff, instantly emitting a burnt smell.
" Hiruzen, I can't hold on any longer. I'm leaving."
The Enma gritted its teeth and then vanished using the Reverse Summoning Technique.
I told Hiruzen Sarutobi not to block, but he still did.
If it weren't for my thick skin, I'd probably be dead by now.
So the Enma also refused to cooperate and went on strike.
" Enma!"
Enma was startled that Hiruzen Sarutobi had gone on strike so quickly.
Pfft!
At the moment Enma disappeared using Reverse Summoning Technique, Kushina's magma had not completely lost its power, so it slammed into Hiruzen.
