"Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!"
Han immediately transformed into the complete Five-Tails, intending to take those Human Bullet Tanks head-on!
But how could Hatake Sakumo let him have his way?
"Hatake Swordsmanship: Heaven and Abyss!"
Hatake Sakumo infused his blade with an astonishing amount of lightning release chakra, then slashed at Han's complete Five-Tails form!
That single slash left an enormous wound on Han's complete Five-Tails form, as though he had been struck by an incomparably massive blade!
"Hatake Sakumo's lightning release is so strong..."
Watching Hatake Sakumo's lightning release, Didaze felt rather down. After all, at this stage, lightning release countered him the most.
If he abandoned lightning release detonation in favor of fire style, the power would be greatly reduced.
Meanwhile, after taking Hatake Sakumo's slash, Han staggered back several steps.
The slash had inflicted tremendous damage on Han. To continue fighting, he could only spur his tailed beast chakra into rapidly healing him.
Once Han recovered, he charged straight at the Human Bullet Tanks!
But over thirty Human Bullet Tanks were not so easy to handle. As soon as Han knocked one away, another immediately took its place. The thirty-odd Human Bullet Tanks successfully held Han down!
"Earth Release: Fist Rock!"
Kitsuchi coated his arm in thick earth release, then led the charge toward the Hyuga Clan!
The Explosion Release Corps, Kōdo, and the Iwagakure ninja also charged toward the remaining Konoha ninja!
But because the remaining two hundred or so were all Jonin, Iwagakure instead suffered far greater casualties.
Sometimes, they even lost ten men to kill one.
Hatake Sakumo looked at Didaze, then charged straight at him with his blade raised!
"Watch out!"
Kōdo immediately turned back, intending to block the attack for Didaze!
"Clay Clone: Explosion!"
Just as Hatake Sakumo reached Didaze, Didaze immediately molded a clone, which then lunged at Hatake Sakumo!
Hatake Sakumo dared not be careless. He immediately backflipped out of the way, then waited for the clay clone to explode before attacking again!
Yet Didaze seemed to have gone dumb, standing motionless on the spot!
It's a trap!
Just as Hatake Sakumo was about to slash Didaze's neck, he suddenly felt a wave of unease and immediately backflipped away!
Boom!
Hatake Sakumo's senses had been absolutely right. This was a clay clone.
And the clay clone molded by that clay clone had also been a half-finished product Didaze had prepared long ago. It only needed an infusion of chakra.
"You even spotted that. As expected of the Konoha White Fang!"
Didaze praised Hatake Sakumo from atop the giant bird.
"Then I really must thank you for the compliment."
Hatake Sakumo spoke, but he was actually looking for an opening.
If Didaze replied, he would seize an opening and kill Didaze with a single slash.
But Didaze clearly was not stupid. He saw the obvious killing intent in Hatake Sakumo's eyes and had no intention of replying.
Didaze directly controlled the giant clay bird to fly above Kitsuchi and the others, with Hatake Sakumo following close behind.
He now intended to keep his eyes on Didaze. As long as Didaze showed any sign of preparing an attack, he would immediately leap up and cut him down!
Didaze suddenly made the giant bird climb to a height Hatake Sakumo definitely could not reach, then molded another Didaze clone.
Then Didaze molded another giant bird, and both sets of Didazes flew down together!
"Big Brother Kitsuchi! Everyone in the Explosion Release Corps, catch!"
Didaze's clone tossed out something resembling goggles. Kitsuchi and the others froze briefly, then immediately moved to catch them!
"Goggles?"
The instant Hatake Sakumo saw the goggles, he immediately leaped into the air and snatched all of them out of the sky!
"What?!"
Didaze in the sky seemed shocked and shouted so loudly that even Hatake Sakumo heard him clearly.
But then the goggles in Hatake Sakumo's hands exploded.
When Didaze had shouted "What" just now, he had already been forming hand seals.
His shout had also been intended to distract Hatake Sakumo!
Dazzling light flashed, and Hatake Sakumo covered his eyes in pain!
The intense flash had temporarily blinded him.
This was Didaze's new creation, the Clay Flashbang.
Infused with ninety percent lightning release and five percent each of fire style and earth release for detonation, it would inflict an extremely powerful blinding effect on the nearest target.
Didaze had also been gambling that Hatake Sakumo would definitely snatch these things. If Hatake Sakumo did not, he would have Kitsuchi and the others throw them out. The effect would be somewhat worse, but it would still be better than nothing.
"Clay Bomb: Centipede!"
Seeing that Hatake Sakumo had been blinded, Didaze hurriedly molded several clay centipedes and sent them toward him!
Even blinded, Hatake Sakumo still dodged many of the centipedes thanks to his superb combat awareness, but one ultimately crawled onto his back!
The centipede exploded at once, leaving Hatake Sakumo's back covered in blood.
Hatake Sakumo spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes finally began to perceive a little light again.
Then Hatake Sakumo swung White Fang at a centipede crawling toward him, intending to detonate it before it could explode on its own!
"What's going on..."
Hatake Sakumo looked at the motionless centipede and fell into thought.
Then, seemingly to test his idea, Hatake Sakumo poured a large amount of his lightning release chakra into his blade and slashed at another clay centipede!
Sure enough, the other clay centipede also stopped moving.
"So it was discovered after all?"
Didaze sighed from the sky.
Fortunately, he had invented fire style detonation. Otherwise, he would have been completely useless once his weakness was discovered.
After all, these were all Jonin. What Jonin did not know at least a little lightning release?
"That Explosion Release kid's weakness is lightning release! Lightning release can make his clay bombs duds!"
Hatake Sakumo grew excited and immediately shouted to the Konoha army behind him!
Meanwhile, the Iwagakure ninja also wore expressions of disbelief. They had never imagined that Didaze, who was like a god of war, would have such a fatal weakness!
Didaze had not told anyone about his weakness. After all, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Even Kōdo and Kitsuchi did not know.
"Spread it... the more you spread it, the more I can catch you off guard!"
Didaze sneered, then put on a panicked expression, making Hatake Sakumo even more certain.
"Attention, everyone! Whenever there are clay bombs, use lightning release immediately!"
The Nara Clan Head immediately issued orders to the entire army, then stared fixedly at Didaze in the sky. As soon as Didaze released any clay bombs, he would immediately alert the Konoha army!
"Clay Bomb: Giant Fire Spider!"
Looking at the Konoha ninja poised warily for his attack, Didaze laughed coldly, then molded dozens of giant spiders. Flames rose all over their bodies, and Didaze tossed them down from the sky!
"Use lightning release to attack those spiders!"
Shikaku Nara immediately gave the order.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"
"Lightning Release: Swift Lightning Arrow!"
All kinds of lightning release were unleashed, hurtling toward Didaze's giant clay spiders!
