" Wood Release! You're Naoki Senju!" Ōnoki almost cried out in surprise, and even the Dust Release technique he had prepared for Naoki Senju and his Wood Release began to dissipate.
Upon first seeing the Wood Release, Ōnoki was certain it was genuine Wood Release Wood Release, almost identical to the First Hokage's. But... why does Naoki Senju look exactly like the Second Hokage?
Was it Wood Release caused the infidelity, or did the Second Hokage cheat on his wife...?
Ōnoki was destined to never get answers to these questions, because Naoki Senju was no longer the same Naoki Senju! He no longer needed to answer other people's curiosity or reopen old wounds again and again.
The Wood Dragon spiraled down and found the Five-Tails Jinchuriki who was indiscriminately slaughtering Sunagakure Ninja. Although it didn't matter how many Sunagakure Ninja died, since Naoki Senju had already shown up, he definitely had to stop this behavior.
Despite losing the Wood Dragon Technique that supported him, Naoki Senju showed no sign of falling and remained suspended in mid-air.
Flying Ninjutsu!
Ōnoki's eyes widened as he finally saw three pairs of transparent elytra vibrating at high speed.
"Elytra... These are... the characteristics of Seven-Tails Jinchuriki! You sealed away the Seven-Tails of Takigakure as well?"
With Iwagakure's intelligence capabilities, Ōnoki only knew that Naoki Senju was a Jinchūriki, but he didn't know which Tailed Beast it was. It could be the One-Tail from Sunagakure or the Eight-Tails from Kumogakure. Ōnoki was more inclined to believe the Eight-Tails, as no one would choose a weak Tailed Beast.
However, Naoki Senju has already shown the characteristics of Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, indicating that Naoki Senju either only sealed the Seven-Tails... or he has sealed multiple Tailed Beast!
"Either way, it's a bad situation..."
Ōnoki's expression was more solemn than ever before. This familiar sense of oppression reminded him of Madara Uchiha, who once boasted of destroying Iwagakure. Of course, Madara Uchiha did indeed have that kind of strength.
Wind Release: Chaotic Wind Blade.
Naoki Senju, who was fighting in the air for the first time, was very excited and did not care about the consumption of the Seven-Tails 'Chakra. He flew at a speed that Ōnoki could barely keep up with.
"It's not Wood Release, I've been underestimated... But this is even better!" Ōnoki straightened his back. His age had seriously affected his body's combat capabilities, and he needed to be careful not to strain his back at any time.
Earth Release: Rock Protection.
The dark rock fragments completely blocked the power of the Wind Release, giving Naoki Senju no time to continue his attack. Ōnoki's hands flew up and down, seamlessly connecting Ninjutsu.
Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique.
Ōnoki fully demonstrated the strength expected of a Kage Level shinobi; despite his advanced age, his power remained among the top ranks of the Shinobi World!
With his right arm encased in solid rock, Ōnoki, relying on his extensive aerial combat experience, predicted Naoki Senju's flight trajectory and unleashed a punch imbued with terrifying power.
However, Ōnoki's most proficient Earth Release Ninjutsu was completely ineffective this time, and he was even caught bare-handed!
"Super Added-Weight Rock Technique!"
Shocked, Ōnoki quickly changed his move, applying the Super Added-Weight Rock Technique Rock Fist Technique, causing his weight to increase more than a hundredfold in an instant.
This was a combination Ninjutsu that Ōnoki was most familiar with, but what Ōnoki never expected was that someone could actually catch the Rock Fist Technique with their bare hands, which caused a fatal gap in this combination Ninjutsu.
Naoki Senju's Taijutsu had become increasingly proficient through numerous battles. Sensing the sudden increase in weight, he immediately released his grip and pressed down, forcibly changing the direction of Ōnoki's attack.
But Naoki Senju's counterattack wasn't limited to that; he also needed to test the power of the Seven-Tails ' Ninjutsu.
" The Scattering Powder Technique."
At such close range, Ōnoki had no time to dodge the Seven-Tails ' phosphorescent powder. Apart from immediately closing his eyes, nose, and mouth, he had no way to completely avoid it.
Shiny phosphorescent powder covered Ōnoki's entire body, and every breath he took afterward would inevitably cause him to inhale the phosphorescent powder, affecting his ability to continue fighting, unless Ōnoki completely gave up breathing.
But this was obviously impossible, so Ōnoki, who had just released the Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique, immediately applied a Light-Weight Rock Technique to his body, causing most of the phosphorus powder to drift away from his body. The price he paid was nearly a quarter of his Chakra Ōnoki.
"Hmph... Is this level of strength and combat experience really from a teenager?"
Honestly, when Ōnoki was a teenager, he probably wouldn't have been able to even get past him once. That's the genius of Konoha, the strongest Shinobi World that only Konoha could produce!
Ōnoki, panting heavily, once again felt the pressure he had felt when facing Madara Uchiha, but this time, his master was no longer there to bear it for him...
"In that case, I will bear the will of Iwagakure!" Ōnoki tore off his sleeve, revealing his right arm with ruptured blood vessels and numerous wounds. Using the Added-Weight Rock Technique in haste would come at a price, but even if that price was his life, he would not hesitate.
" Earth Release: Earth Release: Golem Technique!"
The Iwagakure Ninja and Sunagakure Ninja who were engaged in a fierce battle stopped and watched Tsuchikage Ōnoki and Naoki Senju fighting in the air, as well as the rock giant that crawled out from the depths of the ground.
Faced with such miraculous power, the outcome of the battle between the ninja villages is no longer important; their battle will directly determine the result of the war.
" Madara Uchiha... this is the Ninjutsu prepared for you!"
Ōnoki landed wearily on the head of the Rock Giant, recovering his overused Chakra, but his eyes were bright and showed no sign of fear.
He was once so weak that he needed Madara Uchiha's contempt to survive, but he never submitted to Madara Uchiha, let alone now.
" Naoki Senju, you are indeed strong, but watch closely as I prepare this move to protect Iwagakure!"
Ōnoki was absolutely confident that even Madara Uchiha would find this move troublesome!
Naoki Senju shook his head in disappointment. A Gundam of this size was no match for him.
" Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence ".
" Wood Release: Wood Human Technique "
Two consecutive wide-range Ninjutsu shattered Ōnoki's newly risen confidence.
Deep Forest Emergence.
The Wood Human Technique that are even taller than rock giants.
Even if he spent his entire life trying, could he never catch up with the arrogant and overbearing Madara Uchiha...?
While everyone's attention was drawn to Wood Release, a group of ninjas dressed in Akatsuki subdued the Five-Tails Jinchuriki almost instantly and summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to begin sealing the Tailed Beast.
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path contains the Chakra of seven Tailed Beast, plus the Five-Tails, making a total of eight, in addition to the Seven-Tails within Naoki Senju.
The Nine Tailed Beasts created by the Sage of Six Paths have now gathered together, bringing them one step closer to achieving Black Zetsu's goal.
