The commotion on the battlefield grew closer, and the attention of the Raikage and Dodai was drawn to the fighting.

As the front line got closer and closer to the crack in the valley, the tragic scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere shocked the two war-hardened ninjas.

For some reason, the originally confident Raikage smelled the breath of death. He couldn't help but turn his head and said to Dodai: "If I really can't go back, you should return to the Hidden Cloud Village immediately."

"Don't worry about the elders. Go directly to find Ai and Bi who I left at home. I have already explained everything to them before I left."

"You give the list of traitors to Ai, and he will be responsible for dealing with the hidden dangers of the Hidden Cloud Village. When he kills all the people, you will help him become the Fourth Raikage."

"This way, even if I die, the Hidden Cloud Village will still have a Raikage."

Dodai looked at the battlefield that was like a meat grinder, and his mood changed drastically. He now believed that the Raikage's judgment was correct.

Although he was very reluctant, he still asked, "Lord Raikage, do you have anything else to say?"

The Third Raikage took off his Raikage hat and cloak, revealing his muscular body and dark skin.

Handing the bamboo hat and cloak to Dodai, the Raikage shook his head to loosen up his joints and said, "I have reached a secret agreement with the Fifth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village. We have agreed that if we defeat the Hidden Rock Village, our two families will join forces to attack the Hidden Leaf Village and weaken Konoha's strength."

"But now this agreement cannot be enforced. Just tell Ai about it and ignore the Hidden Mist Village. Just treat it as a fart."

"Alas, if we cannot weaken Konoha Village before the war is over, the Hidden Cloud Village will have a hard time in the future."

"I'll have to trouble you from now on, Tutai."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless lightning bolts emerged from the Third Raikage's body. He activated the Lightning Chakra mode, turned into a flash of lightning, and rushed into the front line of the battle.

Lightning danced around the Iwagakure side of the battle line, throwing the Iwagakure ninja into chaos and causing heavy casualties.

With the outburst of the Third Raikage, the Hidden Cloud Ninja felt all the pressure disappear immediately.

Seeing that it was their own Raikage showing off his power, they burst into deafening cheers and were about to launch a counterattack to vent their frustration at being defeated.

The Raikage naturally shouted loudly to stop them and sternly ordered them to retreat immediately. The hot-blooded Kumogakure ninjas were suddenly at a loss and stood blankly on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Dodai quickly organized the senior ninjas to come and take command, leading these wounded ninjas to slowly retreat into the narrow exit of the valley.

The Third Raikage also followed behind them, retreating step by step to the narrow entrance, and then stopped retreating.

The narrow passage, which is less than 30 meters wide, forms a passage slightly wider than the Line of Sky. The sunlight shining in after numerous reflections appears very dim.

The lightning from the Third Raikage illuminated the narrow path, further highlighting the dangerous terrain where one man could block the passage of ten thousand.

Seeing that the Raikage was standing at the intersection without retreating, the Iwagakure ninja launched his ninjutsu without any hesitation.

Earth Escape: Rock Collapse

The rocks on both sides of the narrow road collapsed and fell like a rainstorm.

At the same time, many Iwagakure ninjas sneaked underground, trying to bypass the Raikage's interception.

The Raikage held the rock above his head, raised his foot and stomped hard on the ground. The power of lightning was poured into the ground, knocking the ninja lurking underground out of his wits.

In the hands of the Raikage, the restraint of Lightning Release on Earth Release has been strengthened, and the damage cannot be reduced simply by using the earth.

Seeing their comrades being killed, the Iwagakure ninjas' eyes turned red, and they were almost driven crazy by the smell of blood that permeated the battlefield.

They attacked the Third Raikage regardless of the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

But the Iwagakure ninjas were not fools. Even though they were stimulated by the blood, they did not rush up to engage in close combat with the Raikage. Instead, they used a large number of earth-style ninjutsu to attack the Raikage.

But the Third Raikage was not afraid of these ninjutsu at all. He extracted more chakra, thickened his lightning armor, and then rushed forward among the ninjutsu.

Earth escape: Earth Lung Spear

The sharp rocks could not pierce the Raikage's skin, and he could even smash them to pieces just by running.

Earth Escape: Rock Stealing Stick

The Raikage didn't even bother to look at this thin rock stick. Before it hit him, it was shattered in mid-air by the lightning from the Lightning Release Armor.

Earth Style: Rock Pillar Spear is a lower-level ninjutsu of the Tsuchiryu Spear and is simply a stepping stone to help the Raikage make his leap.

When the Iwagakure ninja uses ninjutsu, they must stop and form hand seals.

No matter how fast they form the seals, there will be a brief pause.

The Raikage would rush to the front of these slowed-down Iwagakure ninjas and use his own hands as weapons to kill them without mercy.

The Third Raikage was like a bull breaking into a china shop. With unstoppable momentum, he rampaged through the Iwagakure ninjas and was invincible.

During the battle, the Raikage firmly controlled the rhythm of the battle, quickly pulling back and forth to prevent himself from being truly surrounded.

He acted so relaxed, even smiling the whole time, killing Iwagakure ninjas so hard that their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The smile on his face disappeared only when a giant dragon made of rock and mud suddenly rose from the ground, accompanied by a whistling sound, and rushed towards the Third Raikage from an unexpected angle.

"That's great. Finally, a decent opponent has arrived."

The Third Raikage stopped in admiration, took a stance and punched seriously, his fist hitting the dragon's head accurately. With a dazzling burst of lightning, the rock dragon's head was smashed to pieces.

But surprisingly, the Earth Dragon did not completely disintegrate because its head was shattered. Under the surge of chakra, the Earth Dragon formed a new head.

The new leader briefly identified the environment and continued to rush towards the Third Raikage.

He laughed and said, "To be able to use the clumsy earth escape technique to this extent, you are truly an amazing earth escape ninja."

"But aren't you too arrogant to use earth escape to attack a Raikage like me, Imagawa Hideo?"

Elite jonin Imagawa Hideo said calmly: "If I were alone today, I would never challenge you, but I am not alone today, not even with 10 people."

Faced with the terrifying momentum of the Third Raikage mixed with lightning, Imagawa Hideo quickly formed seals with his hands and performed the most familiar ninjutsu.

Earth Escape: Multiple Earth Flow Wall

Surrounding the Third Raikage, earth walls rose from the ground, consuming the Raikage's physical strength and chakra at the cost of their own destruction.

The number of earth walls soon reached hundreds, and it was obvious that Imagawa Hideo was not the only one who performed this ninjutsu.

At some point, a group of Iwagakure jonin gathered around and, together with Imagawa Hideo, besieged the Third Raikage, hoping to drag him into a war of attrition of chakra and physical strength.

No matter how powerful the Third Raikage is, his physical strength and chakra are limited.

As long as we drag him into a war of attrition and send hundreds of ninjas to fight him, we can tire him to death.

But just when Imagawa Hideo was trying with all his might to transform hundreds of earth walls into the earth escape barrier Dorokudoumu, he suddenly found that he could not find the Raikage.

The Iwagakure jonin, who had rich experience in combat, immediately shouted, "Scatter quickly, the Raikage has escaped!"

Phew!

Imagawa Hideo's voice suddenly stopped as an arm wrapped in blue lightning pierced into his body from the back and pierced his lung.

Lightning Release: Instant Body Technique

The blue lightning meant that the Third Raikage used Lightning Release to activate his own cells, causing the activity of the cells to grow explosively, increasing his speed and reaction to the extreme of a ninja.

This allowed the Third Raikage to run faster than a kunai, and even disappear from the eyes of the Iwagakure ninjas, as if he had teleported.

Earth Escape: Yellow Spring Swamp

Earth Escape: Mud Mage

The Iwagakure ninjas reacted quickly. They used similar ninjutsu in tacit understanding, turning the earth into a swamp to limit the Third Raikage's dodging speed.

As expected, the speed of the Raikage slowed down, and he had to go back to the mode of using the Raiden Armor to resist the Earth Style Ninjutsu. For a moment, his rhythm was disrupted, and he was unable to recover from the ordinary Ninjutsu of the Iwagakure Ninja.

Taking advantage of the Raikage's chaotic rhythm and being suppressed by the terrain and dense ninjutsu.

A tall and burly Iwagakure ninja approached quietly, looking at the battlefield carefully while slowly and carefully forming hand seals.

His movements were so gentle that he was afraid that the extra fluctuations of chakra would allow the Third Raikage to discover him and cause the sneak attack to fail.

Earth escape technique: Rock tube technique

The tall Iwagakure ninja opened his mouth and casually spit out a small stone. The stone flew at high speed in the air and continued to grow.

By the time it reached the Third Raikage, the small stone had grown to the size of a volleyball, and its surface was smooth and black, like a solid black iron cannonball.

The rock shells made a dull sound of breaking through the wind, and they hit their target slowly but actually quickly.

It wasn't until they were only a few meters away that the Third Raikage noticed this creation of chakra.

The attacker's timing was perfect. The Raikage just happened to shatter a row of stalagmites, and he had no time to dodge again.

The dense lightning that was close to his body was unable to tear the rock cannonball apart. The Raikage could only watch as the rock cannonball passed through his lightning armor and hit his left ribs.

Unlike the extremely popular Gan Tie Cannon Technique, Gan Dai Tong Technique is an A-level ninjutsu.

It is well known that the Wasiwa Otsutsu-no-jutsu is not a technique to attack a single ninja, but is aimed at destroying strong fortresses and small strongholds, or delivering devastating blows to large groups of ninjas.

This technique is extremely powerful, and therefore difficult to practice. Even many jonin of the Iwagakure Village cannot master it. Once mastered, it is regarded as a trump card.

Today, this ninjutsu was skillfully used by the powerful Iwagakure ninja, accurately hitting the Third Raikage's body, at the vulnerable lower left side.

He is dead!

The Iwagakure ninjas immediately cheered. They could almost imagine the Raikage being shot in half by the Rock Cannon.

In the past, any ninja who was hit in the torso by this technique would end up with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

There were even ninjas who couldn't wait to draw their weapons, ready to give the Third Raikage the final blow and mercifully end his suffering.

But when the black iron-like rock ball collided with the ninja's body, there was no dull sound of flesh hitting each other or crisp sound of bones breaking.

Duang——!

The Third Raikage's body was hit by the rock cannonball, causing a deafening roar.

The sound was like the melodious and penetrating sound of a rare large bronze bell in a shrine, which was struck by a thick bell stick.

Amidst the resounding roar of the great bells, there was also a slight crackling sound, which was the sound made by the rock iron shells shattering.

The ninjas of the Iwagakure Village watched in amazement as the rock cannonballs that were able to pierce through the city walls shattered upon the body of the Third Raikage.

Are you kidding me, this is a human body?

Even the Iwagakure senior ninja Huang Tu who used ninjutsu to launch a sneak attack was also shocked. He looked at his hands in disbelief, suspecting that he had used a fake ninjutsu.

“Ahem…”

Fortunately, the Third Raikage couldn't hold back the shock in his lungs and let out a violent cough, which made Huangtu breathe a sigh of relief.

After coughing violently, the Third Raikage gasped slightly.

He looked at the yellow earth in front of him and suddenly laughed: "Boy, are you Oonoki's son Yellow Earth?"

Huang Tu replied cautiously: "Yes, I am Huang Tu."

The Third Raikage touched his left rib with his hand, feeling the dull pain between his chest and abdomen, and exclaimed: "You are really strong, this time you hit harder than my son, and only slightly worse than the Eight-Tails."

"But it was because I was too careless. I was so focused on saving chakra that I didn't increase my defense to the limit, nor did I notice your sneak attack."

Suddenly, lightning flashed brightly on the Third Raikage's body. He grinned and said, "From now on, I will go all out."

"I wonder if you have any more powerful ninjutsu? If this is the strongest ninjutsu, then it can't beat me."

Although the Loess People are simple-minded, they are much more agile in combat than ordinary people.

Just as the Third Raikage grinned, he had already quietly formed hand seals, and as soon as the Third Raikage finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and performed the next ninjutsu.

Earth escape technique: Earth mountain technique

In this narrow and rocky passage, the loess chakra turned into a large amount of soil, forming two huge semicircular spheres. Suddenly, they closed together with the Third Raikage as the center, trapping him firmly in the center of the sphere.

Seeing that the sneak attack by ninjutsu worked, Huang Tu smiled and said, "I don't have any ninjutsu with greater power, but I have ninjutsu that can restrict your movements."

"Third Raikage, under this kind of earth escape siege, you can only compete with me in chakra volume."

"Even if my chakra amount is not as much as yours, once my chakra is used up, how much will you have left?"

Suddenly, there was a flash of light inside the huge ball of earth, and then a hand penetrated the huge ball of earth, accompanied by countless lightning bolts, completely tearing the thick ball of earth apart.

The Third Raikage rushed out from the huge earth ball accompanied by lightning all over the sky.

He laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I was careless again. You sneaked up on me again."

"You are really strong, brat, but what's going on in your head? You actually used earth escape technique to compete with me. How could I be trapped by earth escape technique?"

"You still want to compete with me in chakra, and bully me, a fifty-year-old man, because I don't have enough chakra. Young people nowadays really have no moral principles."

Huang Tu shouted, "Everyone follow me!"

After saying that, he quickly formed hand seals and performed the most common earth escape ninjutsu.

Earth escape technique: Rock cannon technique

Starting from the yellow earth, all the Iwagakure ninjas opened their mouths and spit out a small stone. With the blessing of chakra techniques, it turned into fist-sized rock balls, which hit the Third Raikage from all directions.

The Rock Cannon Technique is only a C-level ninjutsu, which is not that powerful at all, especially since its superior ninjutsu couldn't break the defense of the Third Raikage, let alone this ninjutsu.

The Third Raikage did not take this ninjutsu seriously at first, but when dozens of rock bullets hit him, his face changed.

The power of the rock bullet certainly couldn't hit him, but he was also not immune to the impact it carried.

One or two rock bullets were of no use, but when dozens or even hundreds of them hit him, the Third Raikage felt the difference from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Densely packed rock bullets hit the Raikage, and the impact force they carried made him like a small boat in the ocean, unable to resist the impact of the waves.

Under Huang Tu's organization, the Iwagakure ninjas formed an orderly attack sequence, continuously firing rock bullets at the Third Raikage in rows.

There are even people among the Iwagakure ninjas who are responsible for eliminating the accumulated rock debris to prevent the debris from accumulating and becoming a cover for the Third Raikage.

Through orderly organization and tacit cooperation, the Iwagakure ninja used the lowest level of jutsu-tun ninjutsu to control the powerful Third Raikage in place.

Organization and collaboration are the Iwagakure ninja's greatest strengths.

Seeing that they had controlled the incredibly powerful Third Raikage with their efforts, the Iwagakure ninjas couldn't help but smile, feeling that victory was in their grasp.

One minute, five minutes, until ten minutes later, these Iwagakure ninjas began to feel something was wrong.

No matter how long the attack lasted, their target was not damaged at all. The chakra fluctuations on their bodies were stable and powerful, without the slightest fluctuation.

Huang Tu's face began to look ugly.

He still had enough chakra to continue holding out for a long time, but the Iwagakure ninjas around him who were participating in the attack were not all jonins, most of them were chuunins.

The faces of these Chunins had begun to turn pale, and it was obvious that their chakra was beginning to be insufficient.

It was obvious that with this type of ninjutsu attack, the Iwagakure ninjas could not consume more than the Third Raikage. Once someone slowed down, the entire attack rhythm would be disrupted, and they would no longer be able to control the Third Raikage.

Once this fast and powerful Raikage escapes, a bloody massacre will inevitably follow at such a close distance.

At this critical moment, a group of Iwagakure ninjas from behind rushed up.

They brought orders from the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, asking Kouichi and the other jonin to return to the Tsuchikage while they took over the battle.

Huang Tu looked at the new ninjas and suddenly realized that they were all Chunin, and most of them were old ninjas with gray hair on their temples and over fifty years old.

He suddenly understood something, but he couldn't say anything to these ninjas.

The old ninja who was in the lead smiled calmly and said to Huang Tu and the other jonin: "Let's leave quickly. This is the order of Lord Tsuchikage, and we are willing to do it."

"This should be the battlefield for the old guys now. Even if you young people want to die, you have to wait until we are all gone."

The jonin stopped talking, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.

With the departure of these powerful ninjas, the rhythm of the intensive attacks became disrupted, and the roar of lightning became loud again.
