Huang Tu returned to the Third Tsuchikage and angrily asked as soon as they met: "Tsuchikage! Why is this happening?"
This honest and simple-minded Jonin was really angry. It was the first time he got angry at his father.
The sadness in Ohnoki's eyes flashed away, but his face remained calm as he said, "What do you want to ask?"
Huang Tu said angrily and puzzledly: "Lord Tsuchikage, that is the Third Raikage, one of the strongest among the Five Kage. We, the Jonin, are no match for him. If we fight, we can only suppress him temporarily."
"But why did you let those Chunins take over and continue fighting from us?"
"They are simply going to die!"
The Third Tsuchikage's eyes were fixed on the battlefield in the distance. Although his face was expressionless, the blood and lightning rising from the center of the battlefield would always sting Ōnoki and make his heart twitch.
Hearing Huang Tu's questioning and roar, he replied calmly: "You are right, I sent them to die on purpose."
Huang Tu was stunned and said: "The Tsuchikage is supposed to lead and protect the Iwagakure ninjas. Why did you order the Iwagakure ninjas to die?"
Ohnoki sighed, turned his head and looked at Huangtu and said, "Of course it's because of you..."
He glanced at the angry jonin who followed behind Huang Tu and said angrily, "And you guys!"
"You! Why can't you grow up to be excellent ninjas who are strong and wise enough to replace me and serve as the Fourth Tsuchikage?"
Ōnoki jumped up, and suddenly a huge rock rose up from the ground beneath his feet, lifting him up steadily until he was higher than the loess that was nearly 220 centimeters tall.
Looking at his tall and fat son, Ohnoki was furious.
When a father looks at his son, what he hates most is "the son is not like his father", that is, the son does not look like the father, which will make the man hate him from the bottom of his heart.
Huangtu, who is 217 cm tall, and Ohnoki, who is 130 cm tall, are father and son standing together. I wonder how much rumors Ohnoki has to endure.
Moreover, their IQs are not similar to those of father and son.
Ōnoki was smart since he was a child, and he became even more cunning after becoming the Tsuchikage. He governed the Iwagakure Village very well, and only the Jinchūriki, Lao Shi, would openly express his dissatisfaction with him.
Huang Tu has been simple-minded since he was young. Apart from his amazing earth-style ninjutsu, his brain is totally useless.
Looking at his son, Ōnoki punched him angrily, then scolded: "If you were smarter, you could become the Tsuchikage, and I would be liberated!"
"Do you think I don't know that I'm the best person to deal with the Third Raikage?"
"Of course I know that it is natural for the Tsuchikage to be against the Raikage. It should be a matter of course!"
"But the Third Raikage dared to face the Iwagakure army alone, but I don't dare to challenge the Third Raikage!"
"Once the Third Raikage Ai dies, there is still Ai in the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Fourth Raikage will take over directly. It seems that nothing has changed."
"But if I die, who in the Iwagakure Village will become the Fourth Tsuchikage?"
The Third Tsuchikage pointed his finger at his son and asked loudly, "Yellow Earth, do you think you are capable of being a Tsuchikage?"
Huang Tu shook his head in fear and couldn't help but take half a step back.
The Third Tsuchikage shook his head in disappointment, pointed his finger at the jonin behind Huang Tu, and asked the same question: "Who among you thinks you can be a Tsuchikage?"
This group of angry jonin were all wilted at this time. After being scolded by Ōnoki, they all took a step back, shaking their heads like rattles.
The Third Tsuchikage roared in disappointment: "Let's not talk about whether you are capable or not, but you don't even have the courage and ambition to be the Tsuchikage?"
No one answered his question. The scene was unexpectedly silent. It was so quiet that one could even hear the faint sounds of lightning and screams coming from the battlefield in the distance.
"I knew it was like this..."
The Third Tsuchikage sat down dejectedly on a floating rock, muttering, "No one can take over for me, how can I dare to take the risk?"
"I really envy the Second Tsuchikage-sama. When facing an unreasonable enemy, he dared to drag the other party to death without thinking about this or that. He didn't behave like a man."
"I can't take any risks, so I can only let my subordinates fight for their lives."
"Facing a Kage-level ninja like the Third Raikage, everyone except me is actually the same. You jonins will die if you go up, and those old chuunins will also die if you go up."
"But you are the pillars of the Iwagakure Village, but those jonin are not. You have to choose one of the two. I can only let them die in your place."
"This is the order that is most beneficial to the Iwagakure Village."
The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki finished speaking, and his mood was at its worst.
It took him a long time to regain his composure, and then he ordered the jonin: "Go down and rest. When I order you to fight, don't waste the blood of your seniors."
Huang Tu and the Iwagakure jonin fled in panic.
The Third Raikage did not continue fighting at the narrow entrance. After persisting for a day and a night, he retreated into the narrow passage.
The old ninjas who had suffered heavy casualties were not willing to let him go, and they all rushed forward without regard for their lives, tightly entangled the Third Raikage, and resolutely refused to let him escape.
Faced with the Iwagakure ninjas who were chasing him relentlessly, the Third Raikage was also helpless.
Among the five strongest third-generation Kage, he is the most deserving Raikage. Among the three aspects of attack, defense and speed, only his speed is slightly inferior to his son. His overall combat ability is the strongest.
But human energy is always limited. The Third Raikage specialized in Raiden's chakra mode to become the strongest, so his achievements in ninjutsu and instant body movement techniques were very limited.
Facing a group of experienced 50-year-old ninjas, he couldn't rely on ninjutsu and other techniques to deceive them. At most, he could rely on his speed to briefly shake off the enemies, and then he would be caught up by these old guys.
The helpless Third Raikage could only give up the idea of retreating and fight while retreating towards Takikuni.
The Third Tsuchikage followed behind the Chunin with the Jonin, carefully observing the Third Raikage's condition, looking for the best time to strike.
These old Iwagakure ninjas all knew that they could never defeat the Raikage, and it was unlikely that they would make the Raikage bleed.
Therefore, they mainly used ninjutsu such as Earth Style: Earth and Rock Flow, Earth Style: Mud Mage, and Earth Style: Clay Falling from the Sky to interfere with the Third Raikage.
These ninjutsu can also limit the Raikage's range of movement, forcing him to run and move continuously without being able to stop for a moment to rest.
Even when attacking, they would choose blunt-force ninjutsu, such as Earth Style: Rock Stealing Stick, Earth Style: Rock Fist Technique, Earth Style: Rock Pillar Spear, etc.
Even if the hit doesn't hurt the Raikage, it can at least make his body shake.
The battle at the narrow passage lasted for a day, and the pursuit lasted for a day and a night. Under the continuous interference, entanglement and attacks, the Third Raikage felt exhausted.
His breathing became rapid and his head began to feel dizzy.
This was all because of those annoying earth escape collisions. Yesterday he could just laugh it off and ignore them, but today he would feel dizzy after being hit.
The third generation of Lei Ting had an illusion that his brain was about to be pulverized by the impact, and the impact of this blunt force traumatized him greatly.
As a last resort, he could only dodge carefully.
But this caused great physical exhaustion and wasted a lot of time.
The Third Raikage fought and retreated for a whole day and night, but he only walked less than one-third of the distance. He realized that his hope of escape was gradually fading.
Normally, this tenacious Third Raikage would retreat resolutely.
Either he would hold on to the border and get support from the rested Kumogakure ninjas, or he would die on the road of retreat and fall forward towards the Land of Lightning.
But the interaction between the two suggestions lurking in his mind suddenly changed the Third Raikage's thinking.
[I can't escape anyway, so I might as well turn back and kill them to my heart's content! ]
[Yes, what's the point of killing these dying old guys? They are already on the decline. If we don't kill them today, they will retire in a few years.]
[If you want to kill, kill those strong and mature jonin. Killing one will weaken the strength of the Hidden Rock Village by one point.]
[The death of the Raikage should be a glorious death in battle, and should scare the enemies of the Hidden Cloud Village. Only in this way can my life be worthwhile.]
The Third Raikage's 180-degree ideological turn happened in an instant and turned into an unbreakable stubbornness.
These are two powerful beings that are beyond the scope of ninjas, and their respective suggestions have cumulative effects.
Unless the Third Raikage can break through on the spot and reach the Six Paths level in strength, he will not realize that there is something wrong with his thinking.
This is the fate of the chess piece. Not only is life and death not in their own hands, but even their thinking is not free.
The fact that Uchiha You was able to discover things on his own and get rid of the suggestions from the Sage of Six Paths was because he felt that he was a chess player in the big chess game of the Ninja World.
Only intelligent life forms with completely independent thinking can become chess players and play against the Six Paths Sage.
The Third Raikage was just a poor pawn being played with.
But there are those who are even more pitiful than the Third Raikage, namely the old Iwagakure ninjas who fought bravely and shed blood all over the ground in order to stop the Raikage.
From the valley where the ambush began to here now, more than 300 of these fearless ninjas have been killed, with one dying in less than ten minutes.
It has to be said that the killing efficiency of the Third Raikage cannot be compared with that of Uchiha Yu.
It can even be said with certainty that the Third Hokage, the Third Kazekage, and the Third Tsuchikage are all much stronger than him, the Raikage, in killing low-level ninjas.
But with thousands of ninjas surrounding them, these three Kages definitely wouldn't be able to last a whole day.
If it took a whole day, I'm afraid only the Tsuchikage would be able to escape with his flying ability, and the other two would definitely be surrounded and killed.
This is the difference between different types of ninjas.
The lower killing efficiency allowed the Iwagakure ninjas to maintain their morale, and even led to an involuntary and unnecessary contempt.
When the Third Raikage, who had been retreating for a day and a night, suddenly turned back, he easily passed the pursuers of the Iwagakure ninjas and got behind these victims.
In fact, even the Third Tsuchikage was careless and passed by the Third Raikage with a group of trusted jonin.
After passing the old ninjas who were willing to sacrifice themselves and the tough guys like the Third Tsuchikage, a group of energetic young ninjas appeared in front of the Third Raikage.
The Third Raikage looked at the young Iwagakure ninjas in front of him, especially those jonin who had just reached adulthood, and revealed a ferocious smile.
The Third Raikage opened his mouth and a fierce roar came out from between his white teeth: "Now it's time for the Hidden Rock Village to pay the price!"
Hell Thrust - Four-handed
A flash of lightning shot out from the forest and passed through the unsuspecting Iwagakure ninja group in the blink of an eye. The next moment, the shining silver line turned into a blood line.
All of a sudden, blood splattered, blood mist filled the air, and blood flowed like a river. The tragic scene stunned the young ninja and he was completely unable to react.
With just one strike, the Third Raikage killed 14 Iwagakure ninjas, and more than 20 of them were seriously injured with broken hands and legs.
The strength of young jonin is definitely stronger than those old chunins, but when they face the sudden attack of the Kage-level ninja, their experience is not enough to support them to make the most correct response.
In the past two days, the Raikage has used the Four-Book Guan Shou more than once.
Those old guys were able to react correctly, and those who couldn't dodge would rush forward regardless of their lives, while most of the ninjas fled in all directions, avoiding the straight line of attack.
The Third Raikage expended enormous amounts of energy and chakra, but only killed one or two ninjas at most. It was really not cost-effective.
The result of this attack made him excited. The depression that had accumulated for two days was swept away. He couldn't help but burst into laughter: "It's great! It's refreshing!"
The Third Raikage's wild laughter startled the young ninjas, and they recognized the murderer who had slaughtered their companions.
"It's the Third Raikage!"
"Why is he here with us?"
"He killed Asako, Takida, Teruaki, Takemura, Yukiko,... Kill him!"
"If we kill him, we'll become famous!"
"Kill him!"
Stimulated by hatred and honor, the young blood boiled, the ninjas' eyes were bloodshot, and they brandished ninja swords and kunai, attacking the Third Raikage.
The Third Raikage also became excited. Finally, someone was willing to fight him in a physical fight. He shouted, "I want you to know that the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village is invincible!"
He didn't even activate the Lightning Release Chakra mode, and waved his hands as big as a palm fan, launching a counterattack against the Iwagakure ninjas who were wielding weapons.
Naturally, the Raikage was victorious in the attack between the two sides. The scene was not even close to being described as a tiger entering a flock of sheep. It was more like a bull rushing into an antique shop.
In an instant, precious treasures and priceless porcelain were all turned into worthless fragments.
When the Third Tsuchikage noticed something was wrong and hurriedly chased after him, the Third Raikage had already finished the kill and rushed towards the next wave of Iwagakure ninjas.
Looking at the body fragments all over the ground and the blood flowing freely, the Third Tsuchikage was almost going crazy.
Just one negligence, in just 4 minutes, the losses of Iwagakure Village doubled.
And this time, all the casualties were young ninjas, including three very outstanding young jonins, who were all killed by the Third Raikage.
"He can bite back even when he is about to die. The Third Raikage is really difficult to deal with... He is unforgivable and cannot be tolerated any longer."
The Third Tsuchikage ordered with veins throbbing: "Everyone, surround him at all costs, I want to kill this bastard with my own hands!"
"I want him to be completely destroyed!"
The core jonin joined the battle. These Iwagakure jonin were powerful, full of energy because they had rested their bodies, and filled with murderous intent because they had witnessed the death of their comrades.
The already exhausted Third Raikage suddenly felt the pressure doubled. Not to mention hunting down the young Iwagakure ninja, he couldn't even continue to roam the battlefield.
He was soon trapped in a valley by the Iwagakure jonin. The dense earth escape attacks made it impossible for him to raise his head, and the constant shaking under his feet made it even more unstable for him to exert any strength.
The Third Raikage knew that his final moment had come. He carefully evaluated his chakra reserves, then activated the Lightning Chakra mode, put on the strongest Lightning Armor, raised his right hand towards the direction where the most enemies were, and extended a finger.
The Iwagakure jonin immediately sensed the danger and shouted, "Be careful! It's the Hell Spike, defend quickly!"
Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall xN
Earth escape: Mud Swamp xN
The Iwagakure ninjas were indeed good at defense. All the senior ninjas instantly performed two types of earth-style ninjutsu, stacking up more than 50 layers of earth walls and filling the way with waist-deep mud.
Especially the ninjutsu Mud Foot Swamp, which is a big problem that prevents even the water-treading technique from being performed, and is very effective in restricting rapid assaults.
The Third Raikage laughed, "What I'm going to use is not the Four-Handed Technique, but the One-Handed Technique. How can a mere quagmire stop my multiplied speed attack?"
"Iwagakure ninjas, you seem to have forgotten how terrifying I am. Now I will help you remember."
Lightning suddenly exploded, forming huge thunder wings behind the Third Raikage. He seemed like a god of war with thunder wings. He crossed the long muddy road, penetrated dozens of thick earth walls, and rushed into the crowd of Iwagakure ninjas.
But a short figure suddenly stood in front of him.
The indestructible index finger of the hand was pressed against the dwarf's folded hands, but it was unable to penetrate the dark hands.
Earth Escape: Earth Spear
After fifty levels of consumption, the Third Tsuchikage used this most powerful defensive earth-style ninjutsu to withstand the strongest attack of the Raikage.
The Raikage's index finger pierced through the Tsuchikage's right palm, but he now grabbed it in turn, and a milky white ball of light appeared in the palm of the Tsuchikage's uninjured left hand.
Dust Release: Original World Separation Technique
Seeing the light of this technique and feeling his own weak condition, the Third Raikage knew that his death was approaching.
He was not afraid. Instead, he looked at the Third Tsuchikage and laughed, "Ohnoki, if I wasn't tired, if I hadn't punched through so many earth walls, you would have been the one to die if you dared to get so close to me."
The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki looked at the Third Raikage and said with a gloomy face: "If I had not lost my position, you would have been driven away by my Dust Release from the sky and fled like a rat."
The Third Raikage laughed and said, "Hahaha, maybe. It's a pity that I can't prove that I am stronger than you by beating you to death."
The shadow of the Dust Release took the shape of a cone, covering the Third Raikage.
His laughter froze, then it completely disintegrated and turned into flying dust.
The Third Tsuchikage kept watching the Third Raikage's body disappear, and then he said, "You are stronger than me? Since you are dead and I am alive, of course I am stronger!"
