Gold Mine Mountain
Although it was noon, the scene here sent chills down one's spine. Both in the air and on the ground, countless orcs surrounded the entire mine.
Surrounded in the center, all the miners and ninjas could hear the heavy breathing of the orcs. All the ninjas held their ninja tools, their hearts filled with despair.
The miners were surrounded by ninjas in the center, with the strongest ninjas, such as Hongshi, on the outermost perimeter.
The orcs did not launch a direct attack, but instead surrounded everyone.
A large number of insects of various shapes flew out of Shino's body. In the twenty-odd days after returning to the village, he and Kendon had completed the genetic mutation of the insects, producing a large number of individuals and second-generation insects with various abilities.
Hundreds of insects flew back from afar, and upon receiving their intelligence, Shino's heart sank. "Too many. At least twenty thousand orcs, twenty red-haired orcs, and all of them are enhanced with Gelel Stone."
Temari unfolded her Great Sickle Weasel Fan, wary. "Damn it, Kyōai had to leave at this time. Hongshi, what do we do? Eek, are those Amaguriama dumplings you're holding? Give me a skewer."
Unexpectedly, Hongshi suddenly produced several skewers of meatballs from somewhere. "(°ー°) I didn't know, these meatballs are so sweet! Here."
Kankuro, sitting in Zaku Type One, was furious to see the two of them eating dumplings. "Hey! What time is it? You're still eating dumplings! Choji, you're still eating potato chips! Let's start fighting!"
"Roar roar roar!"
The orcs began to stir restlessly. The orcs in front of them parted to make way, and a group of people slowly emerged. Mizuki led Haidō and Temujin out, followed by a red-haired orc of similar size. "I told you, we'd meet again."
Choji was shocked. " Hongshi! This guy is the leader of the orcs!"
Hongshi nodded and said, " Choji, you should know this person too, he's Mizuki- sensei. But you look really ugly like this."
As a ninja academy student in Konoha, he naturally recognized Mizuki, since it was Choji his Forehead Protector.
Choji thought it was just a coincidence of names, but it really was Mizuki: " Mizuki- sensei, it really is him, but how did he become like this?"
Mizuki chuckled, spreading his arms wide towards Hongshi with an ugly grin. " Hongshi-kun, I've heard you've become very strong. Considering our past teacher-student relationship, how about it? Want to gain even greater power and join me?"
"I refuse, it's too ugly."
Mizuki, taken aback by the retort, chuckled awkwardly and looked around. "Heh, never mind then. But it seems like Kyōai and her group aren't here. Well then, you can slowly die under the orcs' attacks."
Having said that, Mizuki Hand Seals and gave the surrounding orcs the order to attack.
Temari looked at Hongshi: " Hongshi-kun, make your move!"
"Me? I'm just Shadow Clone! My Chakra is almost used up too. This is my last Chakra; you can take it." Unexpectedly, Hongshi had no intention of attacking at all. With that, a white light shone from within Hongshi's body. " Spirit Transformation Technique: Spirit Domain!"
The Hongshi into a ball of light, then exploded, turning into a large number of Chakra balls that entered everyone's bodies. The Hongshi that was originally in place then disappeared.
After the Chakra entered his body, he felt an unprecedented power surging within him. Not only his Chakra, but also his physical strength increased significantly.
"This! Is this Hongshi-kun's Chakra?!"
"What terrifying power! Every single insect within me has been greatly strengthened."
Just as everyone was feeling the vast, ocean-like Chakra of the Hongshi, the orcs began their attack, charging towards them from all directions.
Shino quickly outlined a battle plan. " Choji! Lee! The enemies to the south are yours, use the Super Multi-Size Technique! Temari and the orcs in charge of the air, lead everyone to break through the encirclement. Kankuro and I will cover the rear."
Choji's arm guards flashed with lightning, enveloping him in Lightning Release Chakra Mode: "With this Chakra, I can use the Super Multi-Size Technique directly! Clear the sky for me! Lee! Send me up there!"
Rock Lee's body also crackled with lightning. He hugged Choji from behind, and with a powerful leap, the two of them soared into the sky like cannonballs. "Oh! I feel like I have inexhaustible power! Eight Gates Released Formation - Sixth Gate of View - Open!"
Temari's Great Sickle Weasel Fan ignited with dragon fire as she swung it towards the sky. " Fire Style, Wind Release Wind Fire Dragon Bullet!"
"Aww!"
With the help of the Dragon Fire Technique, the Wind Release technique formed a red fire dragon. The sound of the flames burning was like the low roar of a dragon. It arrived first after being attacked, rushing in front of Rock Lee and Choji, with the two of them protecting each other inside.
However, the speed was still a bit slow. The orcs in the air, enhanced by the Gelel Stone, were extremely fast, flapping their fleshy wings to dodge, and only a few were killed.
However, Temari has already achieved her goal.
With the help of Wind Release, Rock Lee used his aerial footwork and in just a few seconds, he had already reached a height of 100 meters in the air. " Choji! This is about to hurt!"
"It's okay, come on!"
Rock Lee spread his arms to stabilize himself in mid-air, then unleashed a spinning kick. " Rock Lee Style - Mountain Splitter!"
With the help of Hongshi, Rock Lee has also begun to create his own system of Taijutsu. Combined with his extremely regenerative body, his attacks are exceptionally violent, with every move a life-or-death struggle, leaving no room for retreat.
After spinning around once, his right leg slashed at Choji like a battle axe, but Choji. The force propelled his body downwards at an incredible speed, getting faster and faster.
" Super Multi-Size Technique!"
Choji, Choji in mid-air, grew to a gigantic size, reaching a length of 100 meters under the enhancement of the Hongshi Chakra. At the same time, he consumed all the energy of the Chakra Furnace on his arm guards and used the Hardening Technique carved on them, causing his body to plummet downwards like a block of iron.
Ranmaru, whose Red Eye eyes had been enhanced by the Hongshi Chakra, saw an incredibly wide and clear view. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, watch out! Choji down!"
Everyone on the ground looked up at the sound, only to see Choji's voice coming from the sky. All the flying orcs hurriedly moved away, and the sunlight was blocked by Choji's huge figure, giving off an apocalyptic look.
"Hey! This is way too much!"
"Be on defense!"
Choji's target is the orcs in the south. He wants to use the Super Multi-Size Technique and the immense destructive power generated by gravity to break through the orcs' encirclement.
Mizuki realized something was wrong and quickly ordered the southern orcs to scatter, "I never thought this technique could be used like this!"
But it was too late; Choji's body had already hit the ground.
"Boom!"
Thousands of orcs were struck by Choji, causing earth and rocks to surge and creating a wave of earth more than ten meters high, shaking the earth. The entire Gold Mine Mountain was also violently shaken and cracked, and even though everyone had Chakra attached to their feet, they were still lifted into the air along with the ground that was blown away.
Choji's attack nearly killed all the orcs in the south, including those buried by the earth wave, totaling almost two thousand.
However, he underestimated the power of gravity. The moment he hit the ground, he felt tremendous damage. Even with the Hardening Technique, he didn't know how many bones in his body were broken.
Choji's body rapidly shrank, and he lay prone in the crater he had created, coughing up blood. "Pfft! This is terrible! Everyone, run!"
He then fell into a coma.
Hongshi's bald head peeked out from the distant forest. "Hey, Choji, that was way too reckless!"
After Hongshi distributed his Chakra to everyone, his Shadow Clone didn't actually disappear. Instead, they used the Flying Thunder God to hide in the distance. If they couldn't withstand the orcs' attack before the Thirteen Nuclear Guardian Pillars returned, he could use the Group Flying Thunder God Technique to rescue everyone.
Choji's attack was powerful enough, but it also caused him almost fatal damage. Hongshi Stone flashed to Choji's side, placing his hand on his chest. "One more time, Super Creation Rebirth!"
Before the dust settled and they were discovered by others, they completely healed Choji's injuries.
