In comparison, it is indeed true that the more widely applicable Kotoamatsukami is easier to use.
After all, Izanami developed a forbidden technique to restrain Izanami. The original intention was just to make the Uchiha people who abused Izanami accept their cruel fate and not use forbidden techniques to change the established reality.
Changing the opposite of fate, specifying and correcting fate is indeed extremely powerful, but it may not necessarily produce the results that the caster really wants.
It was precisely because of these difficulties that Shuimu's idea of taking shortcuts was completely thwarted.
A head-on confrontation might seem a bit foolish, but until a better solution is found, it is better to overwhelm the opponent with strength, which at least can reduce many unexpected variables.
"It's really a headache, but no matter what, we can't let Kabuto Yakushi continue to stir up trouble."
Feeling Mizuki's determination, the first one to take action was Uchiha Itachi. Wherever his eyes passed, the flame of Amaterasu appeared, and the wings of the giant bird made of explosive clay in mid-air were ignited, and then it fell diagonally downward.
Mizuki didn't think that he could defeat the enemy in this way. It would be enough as long as he could disrupt Kabuto Yakushi's formation.
Sure enough, the Second Kazekage - Wu attacked in succession, causing Kabuto Yakushi, Deidara, the reappearing Konoha White Fang - Hatake Sakumo, and the Third Raikage to fly.
Next, Uchiha Itachi continued to attack with Amaterasu, but the prepared enemy kept dodging and used various ninjutsu to resist Amaterasu's black flame.
No matter how powerful a move is, once the weakness is known, its effect will be greatly reduced. Uchiha Itachi's unique Mangekyō Sharingan secret technique - Amaterasu, although not yet known to everyone, this technique has appeared too many times. Anyone with a little knowledge and strength can draw some more reliable conclusions based on the existing information.
There are many ways to deal with Amaterasu. It is not surprising that Kabuto Yakushi knows one or two methods. As a former comrade-in-arms of Uchiha Itachi, there is also a lot of information about Uchiha Itachi in the Akatsuki organization.
Not only can one use escape techniques, chakra shields, or even simple blocking, as long as one moves quickly before Uchiha Itachi's gaze focuses on him, one can effectively avoid Amaterasu. Even if one is accidentally hit, there is a way to deal with it, just cut off the ignited part.
A normal ninja would hesitate before doing such self-mutilation, but for an immortal Impure World Body, losing limbs is really not a big deal. As long as the soul contract is still there and the control spell deeply rooted in the brain is not destroyed, being burned by Amaterasu for a while is really not a big deal.
It is really difficult to hit Kabuto Yakushi, who is hiding behind heavy protection, and it is also not easy to attack rashly. After all, Kabuto Yakushi's own strength is also intimidating, and a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan is not so easy to deal with.
What's more, there is also a Sage Mode that is so powerful that people dare not underestimate it easily.
"We must first kill the Nidaime Tsuchikage - Mu, otherwise, the effect of the Senjutsu, Lava Release, Thousand Commands that I have put so much thought into will be greatly reduced, and it may even restrict the hands and feet of my own people."
The enemies on the opposite side were all able to fly, but the few Impure World Forms on their side could only fight on their feet. The lava lake below prevented them from free movement.
"In that case, let's get started. Although I haven't found the person I was looking for, I don't want to wait any longer."
Even when facing a life-and-death crisis, Kabuto Yakushi still did not reveal Uchiha Madara's Impure World Body, his biggest trump card. It seems that he has big plans.
Since we can't attack Uchiha Madara first, then we can just kill Kabuto Yakushi and then deal with the aftermath slowly.
…
On the battlefield of the Fifth Combat Team of the Shinobi Alliance, the sound of metal clashing could be heard from time to time not far away, and the puppeteer here had been completely subdued.
After using the forbidden technique - Kisei Reincarnation to save the life of the Fifth Kazekage - Gaara, Chiyo, who was thought to have bid farewell to the ninja world for good, did not expect that she would have the chance to go to the battlefield again. This time, she was no longer fighting for the Sand Village, but just a controlled fighting puppet, which was really uninspiring. However, the Impure World Reincarnation body involuntarily attacked the ninja who she did not want to kill, which was really helpless.
While killing without mercy, he was also reminding his opponent how to deal with him. Such a fight is indeed embarrassing.
However, Grandma Chiyo was worrying too much. The strength of the Ninja Alliance was far beyond her imagination.
Because most of his puppets were not around, there were only some makeshift inferior products and a few puppets that had reached a deep contract with the soul. Apart from that, he had no extra weapons.
If a warrior loses his sword, his ability to exert strength will be greatly reduced. If a puppeteer does not have his best puppets, the combat effectiveness he can retain will be reduced to only one tenth.
Even so, Granny Chiyo, with her rich experience, managed to hold out for a long time under the enemy's siege before being tied up.
"The young are formidable. Before I died, I saw the pillars of Konoha Village. I didn't expect that Rain Village also had so many masters. With more people like this, even the Sand Village would have to give way! Not only are they powerful, but they are also experienced in combat... But this is a bit strange. Rain Village doesn't have the conditions, nor does it have enough opportunities to hone so many pillars in war... Moreover, their fighting style is somewhat familiar to me. The means of dealing with puppeteers are so proficient, a bit like the style of our old enemy, the Uchiha family that has been exterminated... Oh, that's not right..."
Realizing that something was wrong, Granny Chiyo took the time to look at the Rain Ninja wearing a thick mask and a respirator, her eyes blurred by the sealed runes.
"Is this true? But how is this possible?"
There are not so many coincidences in the ninja world. With the ninja's super intuition, if they really feel that it looks like someone, then it is most likely the fact. However, it is incredible that so many people of the Uchiha clan, who have been exterminated, have the Sharingan.
"It seems that the secrets of the ninja world are more than I thought... But fortunately, this time, the mysterious man is an ally of the Sand Ninja, so we should not be on the wrong side."
Grandma Chiyo was still muttering to herself with some self-deprecation. A man in front of her retracted his hand that was performing the sealing technique and watched as Grandma Chiyo was solved and dragged away by his men.
"We are all old friends, but now I don't have the chance to have a good chat with you."
Once in Kikyoyama Castle, Orochimaru fought with the Sand Ninja on the border several times. Granny Chiyo, who had supported the Sand Village for decades, left a deep impression on Orochimaru.
After dealing with the enemy in front of him, Orochimaru looked into the distance.
There, Yan Liu, the leader of the Fifth Army, was fighting a more powerful enemy, Hanzo, the former leader of the Rain Village, who was known as the "demigod".
"It's not over yet? Looks like I have to go and lend a hand. I hope the strong man who once made me tremble can still satisfy my curiosity a little bit!"
The fledgling Three Ninjas were completely defeated by the Salamander Hanzo who was at the peak of his powers. Although this also made the young "Three Ninjas" famous in one battle, a loss is a loss, and in the heart of the proud Orochimaru, he would never think that this was a glorious thing.
