The Senju Clan's territory, located at the Yang Lineage stronghold, presents a completely different scene. It is filled with vibrant life force, as intense as the blazing sun. The golden Senjutsu Chakra on the ten squad members resonates with the light armor inlaid with regeneration runes, emitting a faint glow.
Hashirama Senju, a descendant of Senju Nawaki, stood at the front of the group. Tall and with a calm demeanor, he said, "Our mission as the Yang Lineage is battlefield first aid and sustained combat. The regeneration rune light armor and healing rune scrolls you wear are crucial to ensuring the safety of us and our comrades. No matter how dangerous the battlefield, we must stand firm at our posts, treat as many wounded as possible, and, if necessary, fight on our own."
A Senju Clan patted his light armor and said confidently, "Lord Nawaki, rest assured. These regeneration runes are extremely effective. Even if someone is severely injured, as long as they have a breath left, they can recover their fighting strength in a short time. Moreover, the healing rune scrolls we carry are enough to instantly heal non-fatal serious injuries. We will definitely not let our comrades sacrifice themselves in vain."
Another team member added, "Our Senjutsu Chakra can not only be used for healing, but also to enhance our defense and attack capabilities. In a prolonged battle, our advantages will become increasingly apparent. It won't be so easy for the Ōtsutsuki to break through our defenses."
Senju Nawaki nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Everyone, remember, we are not only healers, but also warriors. While protecting our comrades, we must also inflict heavy blows on the enemy. Let the Ōtsutsuki see the absolute power of the Senju Clan in the Shinobi World."
At the Wind Branch's headquarters, the former elites of Sunagakure were making tense preparations. Sand Explosion Rasa stood in the center of the group, with Sunagakure's top ninjas behind him. The members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio stood together, displaying perfect teamwork.
Nara Shikanei adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed, "While the Ōtsutsuki Clan is powerful, they also have weaknesses. They rely too much on their bloodline power, and their tactics are relatively simple. Our Ino-Shika-Cho teamwork, combined with the Wind Branch's Magnet Release defense, will definitely be able to counter them."
Akimichi Chōza patted his belly, confidently stating, "That's right! I'll use the Multi-Size Technique, combined with Shikaku's Shadow Possession Jutsu, to trap those guys. Then, Inoichi Yamanaka Mind Body Switch Technique to disrupt their movements, Gaara- sama will seize the opportunity to unleash the Sand Tsunami Funeral, ensuring they never return."
Inoichi Yamanaka nodded in agreement. "Our teamwork has been practiced countless times and is now flawless. Coupled with our rune armor, our strength has increased to another level. The Ōtsutsuki's attempt to break through our defenses is simply wishful thinking."
Sand Explosion Rasa looked at his teammates, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "You're all right. Our Wind Branch's advantage lies in defense and control. As long as we hold our ground and coordinate well with the ninjas of other veins, we will definitely inflict heavy losses on the Ōtsutsuki Legion. In this operation, we not only want to protect the Shinobi World, but also let everyone know that the ninjas of the Wind Branch are never to be trifled with."
At the base of the Lightning Branch, ninjas from the Yotsuki Clan and Sarutobi Clan were excitedly exchanging ideas. A Yotsuki, the Yotsuki Clan leader, was a burly man, radiating a ferocious Lightning Release Chakra. Hiruzen Sarutobi, a powerful member of the Sarutobi Clan, stood beside him, his aura equally formidable.
A Yotsuki brandished her fist and shouted, "Aren't those Ōtsutsuki guys supposed to be tough? This time, let them taste the power of our Lightning Release! My newly developed Lightning Release: Ten Thousand Slashes, combined with this rune-conducting armor, has at least tripled in power. I can shatter their defenses with a single punch!"
Raikage Jiraiya and said, "Ah, your Lightning Release is indeed powerful, but we can't be too careless. The Ōtsutsuki Clan's physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary people; ordinary Lightning Release attacks may not be fatal to them. We need to coordinate well and use combination Ninjutsu to unleash its maximum power."
A ninja from the Yotsuki Clan said, "Clan leader, the Lord Raikage is right. We can infuse Lightning Release Chakra into the rune-conduction armor, and then unleash a wide-range Lightning Release Ninjutsu. This will both attack the enemy and disrupt their movements. Combined with the Sarutobi Clan's Fire Release Ninjutsu, we'll definitely make the Ōtsutsuki suffer greatly."
A Yotsuki nodded. "Alright! Let's do it that way. In this operation, our Lightning Branch must be at the forefront, showing the Ōtsutsuki our power. Let them know that the Lightning Release of the Shinobi World is not something they can withstand."
At the base of the Water Branch, users of Ice Release, Bone Release, and Hydrification Technique were exchanging tactics. They were equipped with sophisticated rune controls that greatly enhanced the power and precision of their Ninjutsu.
Minazuki Hyōō said, "With these rune-equipped items, my Ice Release Ninjutsu is not only faster to cast, but also cooler and has a stronger freezing effect. Even the Ōtsutsuki's regeneration ability will be greatly diminished in the face of my Ice Release."
Kaguya Isshū, not to be outdone. "My Bone Release, enhanced by the rune control, has significantly improved in both hardness and sharpness. I'll use my bone spears to pierce their bodies and let them taste the pain of being torn apart by bones."
Hōzuki Genjitsu laughed and said, "I can now freely control the degree of my body's hydration through rune controls, making it very convenient for both dodging attacks and launching surprise attacks. It won't be so easy for the Ōtsutsuki to hit and injure me. Moreover, my Hydrification Technique can blend into the water, making my advantage even more obvious on the battlefield at sea."
Tian Yukihime looked at her teammates and said firmly, "Everyone is exceptionally capable. This battle is on the water, so we are the main force. With the support of rune equipment, our Water Branch will definitely play the most important role in this operation. The ocean battlefield is our home ground, and we must make good use of this advantage to deliver a crushing blow to the Ōtsutsuki Legion. According to intelligence, the enemy has 81 members, and our goal is to eliminate one-third of them. Does everyone have confidence?"
At the Fire Branch base, the Hyuga Clan and Hatake Clan ninjas are making their final preparations. The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan can perceive the enemy's Chakra flow, while the Hatake Clan's swordsmanship is known for its speed and ferocity. Now, their Byakugan is equipped with a wide-area reconnaissance system, and their swordsmanship is paired with high-speed dash equipment.
Hyuga Hiashi stood at the front of the group, his Byakugan open, carefully sensing the changes brought about by the wide-area reconnaissance system: "With this system, my Byakugan's detection range has increased several times, and it can also analyze the enemy's Chakra attributes and weaknesses. On the battlefield, we can anticipate the enemy's movements and gain the initiative."
Hatake Sakumo stood to the side, his sword gleaming coldly, its blade inlaid with runes. "My swordsmanship, combined with the high-speed assault mech, will reach a new level of speed. Then, I will approach the enemy at top speed and sever their limbs with my swordsmanship, rendering them incapable of fighting."
A member of the Hyuga Clan said, "Lord Hiashi, Lord Hokage, we can coordinate our actions. I'll use my Byakugan to pinpoint the enemy's location and weaknesses, then Lord Hokage will launch a high-speed dash and attack their vulnerable points with swordsmanship. That way, even Ōtsutsuki would find it difficult to withstand our attack."
Hyuga Hiashi and Hatake Sakumo exchanged a glance and nodded. Hyuga Hiashi said, "This tactic is excellent. Everyone must remember that on the battlefield, we must cooperate with each other and leverage our respective strengths. Only in this way can we defeat the powerful Ōtsutsuki Legion. We must not be careless this time. Hizashi's reconnaissance at the front lines revealed the horrific massacre that has occurred throughout the Western Continent. We must go all out to annihilate the Ōtsutsuki Clan."
At their stronghold in the Earth Branch, the Uzumaki Clan ninjas were busy at work. They possessed enormous Chakra and powerful Sealing Jutsu, and now, through the Rune Matrix, their abilities were amplified to the extreme.
Uzumaki Fuehito stood in the center of the group, his Chakra surging powerfully. "Our Uzumaki Clan's Chakra and Sealing Jutsu are key to countering the Ōtsutsuki. Therefore, we are the absolute main force this time. With the assistance of the rune matrix, the power of our Sealing Jutsu has been greatly enhanced, and even the Ōtsutsuki's immense power can be sealed by us."
Uzumaki Hahito said, " The Fuehito is right. We can set up a large Sealing Jutsu array to trap the Ōtsutsuki inside, and then gradually weaken their power with Sealing Jutsu. Moreover, our Chakra is vast enough to support the Sealing Jutsu for a long time."
Orochimaru, the Tsuchikage with white fur, added, "You can also inscribe Sealing Jutsu on rune scrolls and use them at any time during battle. This way, you can attack the enemy unexpectedly and conserve Chakra. It won't be so easy for the Ōtsutsuki to break free of your seals. As for the main battlefield, leave it to us immortal zombies."
Looking at his teammates, Uzumaki Fuehito's eyes were filled with confidence. " Lord Tsuchikage is right. You are all elites of the Uzumaki Clan and the Earth Branch. I believe we can definitely complete the mission. In this operation, I will show the Ōtsutsuki that the Sealing Jutsu of my Uzumaki Clan are their nemesis."
Forty-one Immortal Level squads from the old ninja clan system, totaling one hundred and twenty-three people, emerged like swords drawn from their sheaths, exuding an unstoppable aura. Each soldier wore custom-made technologically advanced rune armor, wielded weapons fused with Chakra Metal and runes, and carried various disposable spell scrolls and communication equipment. The value of this equipment rivaled that of a small nation, but what it brought was a terrifying boost to combat power, potentially doubling or even multiplying it several times over!
