I, The New Hokage of Konoha - Chapter 261
“Outside the battlefield, the most powerful Yuki and Uchiha Itachi stand face to face in the current ninja world.
Inside the battlefield, the loud sounds of battle rise once again.
Onoki, who has no other choice, can only lead a massive army of Rock Ninjas and devour the Konoha Village army in front of him.
Therefore, in the upcoming battle, not only is the Rock Ninjas’s offensive even more ferocious, but even Onoki himself, along with Kurotsuchi and other skilled Rock Ninjas, joins the fight.
“Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!”
Wielding fists like rocks, he sends the Konoha ninjas in front of him flying. When he notices another group of hundreds of Konoha ninjas charging from a distance, Kurotsuchi rapidly forms hand seals.
In an instant!
Two incredibly massive half-spherical rock formations thunder out from both sides of the Konoha Village reinforcements. With an unstoppable force, they seem poised to crush the hundreds of Konoha ninjas caught in the middle.
The strength of powerful ninjas is unmistakable on the battlefield at this moment.
But just as the trapped Konoha ninjas despair, a loud voice suddenly rings out.
“Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!”
With a loud bang, a giant, mountain-sized figure swiftly rushes to the surrounding Konoha ninjas. Stretching out both arms, it pushes with great force, preventing the rock formations created by Kurotsuchi’s Earth Release from advancing even an inch.
“Shadow Clone Jutsu? It’s you, Shikaku Nara. It’s been a while.”
Seeing that his jutsu has been blocked, Kurotsuchi looks at his old acquaintance and greets him.
“What about Inoichi Yamanaka and Ibiki Morino? Can you stop me on your own without the help of the rest of the Konoha 11?”
As former rivals from the time of the Third Great Ninja War, this generation of Ino-Shika-Cho has had its fair share of encounters with Kurotsuchi. Although he hasn’t mastered his father’s Dust Release, his formidable Earth Release jutsu places him only below Onoki in terms of power among the Rock Ninjas. With other Rock Ninjas supporting him, the trio of Ino-Shika-Cho suffered quite a bit in his hands.
Hearing the words of his old rival, Shikaku Nara replies calmly, “With the talent Konoha possesses and my comrades, we are more than enough to deal with you.”
With that, he exerts more strength with his two thick, sturdy arms, and the rock formations on both sides are thrown far away.
Not stopping at this point, Shikaku Nara suddenly contracts his limbs and head.
“Human Boulder!”
A massive rotating sphere, highly conspicuous on the battlefield of tens of thousands, rushes forward with tremendous destructive power.
“Is it this move again?”
Kurotsuchi smirks coldly and is about to form hand seals to stop it.
Suddenly, more than ten shadows extend towards him rapidly.
Shadow Imitation Jutsu!
Protected by several Konoha ninjas, more than ten members of the Nara clan, sporting pineapple-like hairstyles, use their Shadow Secret Technique, directly targeting Kurotsuchi.
Seeing this, Kurotsuchi has no choice but to withdraw his hands and evade.
On the other side, noticing that their leader is being surrounded, many Rock Ninjasrush to help.
However, suddenly, a few Rock Ninjas’s faces change, and they thrust the kunai in their hands at Kurotsuchi.
“Hmph! Control the mind!”
Knowing that his subordinates are temporarily controlled, Kurotsuchi doesn’t go all out, but within moments, the transformed Human Boulder, Shikaku Nara, has arrived.
“That’s enough!”
Covered in the Hardening Technique, Kurotsuchi, ignoring the attacks on her body, finally completes her jutsu and slams the ground with both hands.
“Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart!”
In an instant, with the chakra flowing, the ground in front of Kurotsuchi rises significantly, forming a large, several-meter-thick earth wall.
The next second.
A fiercely violent collision sounds.
The massive Human Boulder smashes into the earth wall.
With a loud roar, an intense shockwave, along with the shaking of the ground, scatters in all directions. Thick dust and smoke billow, enveloping not only Shikaku Nara and Kurotsuchi but also the Konoha and Rock ninjas, making them disappear from sight for a while.
If one were to look down from the sky at this moment, one would see that, on the lengthy battlefield, the yellow dust raised by Shikaku Nara and Kurotsuchi is particularly eye-catching.
However, Deidara, flying above the battlefield, isn’t interested in watching this.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One Chakra bomb after another is rapidly approaching him from the Konoha Village’s artillery positions.
This makes Deidara, who had just turned into a “bomber” and excitedly dropped explosive bombs on the Konoha ninja camp, quite irritated.
But when the giant bird he’s riding on is hit, creating a huge hole, Deidara realizes he can’t afford to be careless and promptly creates another giant bird from clay to hold himself. He narrowly avoids becoming minced meat.
“This is so troublesome!”
Noticing the increasingly dense barrage from the sky, Deidara mutters while skillfully maneuvering his giant clay bird to evade.
“Be careful, Deidara.” Itachi, who flies in from behind, reminds him.
“Old man, is your back better?” While dodging, Deidara asks, grinning.
“It’s better, it’s better,” the elderly Onoki waves his hand impatiently.
Originally, at the beginning of the renewed battle, he was about to launch an attack with the army. However, as soon as he ascended into the air, his old back acted up again. Thanks to the urgent care of medical ninjas, he has only recently recovered enough to not miss this battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Konoha’s Chakra artillery below also fires shells toward Onoki.
Returning his attention from Deidara, who has made a habit of flying, Onoki effortlessly dodges and simultaneously forms ten seals.
“Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique.”
In an instant, a colossal, blinding white Dust Release barrier extends from his hands and ravages the Konoha’s artillery positions.
Soon, the frequency of Chakra bombs from the Konoha Village artillery decreased significantly.
As Onoki is about to press his advantage, a swift-moving triple-pointed kunai flies toward him.
Onoki’s face changes, and he immediately distances himself.
In the next moment, Tobirama Senju, like Onoki, hovers in the air with a calm expression.
Seeing that the Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique was blocked, Onoki looks at Tobirama, his old ally, with an extremely uneasy expression.
How did Tobirama Senju, in the absence of any other Rock Ninjas, master Earth Release: Light-
Heavy Rock Technique, a secret Rock technique? Has someone from within the village leaked it, or is it the work of a Konoha spy? Regardless of the reason, the leak of the jutsu is no longer the issue at hand. Rather, compared to Konoha, as the Tsuchikage, he has lost his aerial advantage due to this revelation.
“Damn you, Konoha Village!”
Ingrained curses slip through Onoki’s thoughts once again as he gazes at Tobirama, who’s intently waiting.
As he knows how to deal with Onoki effectively and efficiently, Tobirama Senju, who’s fully prepared, says, “Gold Transformation, huh? Let me see if you can resist my abilities!”
“Old man, count me in! Let’s take down this ‘shiny’ guy together!” Not far away, Deidara, who can’t resist a fight, declares.
