"You stinking brat! I'm here to help!" Tsunade shouted, standing in the rear. Seeing the fierce battle on the field, she let out a delicate cry. With a push of her feet, she directly leaped to Kusuo's side.
At the same time, it was only when Tsunade was truly standing just five or six meters away from Kusuo that she could accurately feel the terror of the sword aura he was wielding.
The sword aura was sharp, as if it were tearing through the void. Under the slash, the wind howled. It was very horrifying.
Tsunade's cheeks were stinging from the wind. Just being on the sidelines, she felt a sharp coldness from the sword aura, as if it were going to cut her entire person into pieces. It was sharp to the extreme.
This stinking brat... he's getting stronger and stronger.
Tsunade was caught off guard and almost lost her footing. A strange light flashed in her pretty eyes.
Onoki was constantly counter-attacking from the sky. As an experienced veteran, after seeing that Kusuo's sword aura could cancel out his Kekkei Tōta, he was not foolish enough to stupidly insist on using Dust Release to bombard him. That would consume too much stamina. Instead, he skillfully began to cast Earth Style jutsus.
When he cast them, their power was countless times stronger than all the other Hidden Stone ninja present. It truly let people see his strength as the Tsuchikage.
"Earth Style! Earth Dragon Bullet!"
ROAR!
The earth dragon turned over. A massive earth dragon erupted from the mud beneath Onoki. The soil turned into a debris flow, and its ferocious head spat out countless daylight-like energy bullets.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!—
The beams of light were dense, their power astonishing. One after another, they quickly smashed onto Kusuo's sword aura, clashing with it. A series of explosions. The scene was filled with a roaring sound. A startling airflow swept through, and under the terrifying commotion, a huge amount of smoke, dust, and gravel was kicked up.
The Iwa-nin and Konoha ninja who were watching the battle had no choice but to stab their short swords or kunai into the ground to prevent their bodies from being blown away by the airwave.
"Earth Style! Rending Land Turning Palm!"
The two elite jonin under Onoki only needed to exchange a glance to understand their Tsuchikage's thoughts. They slammed their hands on the ground. Instantly, the earth in a space of several hundred square meters began to crack, the fissures continuing all the way to Kusuo's feet.
POW!
One strike. A heavy punch containing the force of a thousand jun suddenly smashed down. The immense inertia and impact made the earth tremble.
Tsunade's figure had suddenly appeared in front of Kusuo. One punch smashed onto the Earth Style ninjutsu that was about to erupt from the ground. She lifted her head and said with a smile, "If you want to interfere with the battle of our Konoha's genius, first ask if I, the Hokage, agree!"
Tsunade's monstrous strength. One punch had smashed the interference of the opposing elite jonin.
"Tch!" The two of them spat with disdain. The great Lord Hokage, to actually lower her status to run cover for a boy. This kind of behavior is really... unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Lord Tsuchikage, we are incompetent. We are no match for the Hokage." The two elite jonin said apologetically to the sky. The chakra fluctuation on Tsunade's fist was heart-pounding. And from the giant crater she had smashed out, it was no less than the sword aura swung by that brat opposite them. They were no match.
Onoki gritted his teeth, fully focused on dealing with Kusuo's sword aura. Under this level of bombardment, he couldn't spare the attention to guide the ninja on his side. Therefore, without words, the battle became more and more intense.
Faced with Kusuo, Onoki had used almost all the Earth Style ninjutsu he had learned in his life. If it were any other Kage, they would have been defeated long ago. But Kusuo defeated ten with one strength. With just his one hand of magnificent sword aura, he crushed all of Onoki's ninjutsu efforts.
"Uwaah!"
With a mouthful of thick blood, Onoki was accidentally grazed by a residual sword aura. Although he had instantly summoned his Earth Armor for protection, the huge impact still made him spray out a mouthful of old blood.
"Lord Tsuchikage!"
"Lord Third!"
The Iwa-nin below watched with trepidation and hurriedly called out.
"Cough, cough." Onoki climbed up from the ground where he had fallen, propping himself up with his hands to barely stand. He wanted to use the Super Light-Weight Rock Technique again to fly into the air, but another mouthful of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes flashed. The current situation was actually very clear. If they continued to fight like this, the Iwa side was definitely no match. That brat opposite them could annihilate their entire side by himself. It was only a matter of time.
"Retreat!"
Suddenly, Onoki shouted in a low voice to his own side and took the lead in flying into the air to escape.
"This..." The Iwa-nin were dumbfounded. Our Lord Tsuchikage... ran away? He was beaten and ran away? Then what about us?
"What are you still standing there for? Run!"
"Run, quick!"
"If we don't run now, it'll be too late!"
"Run, run, run! Forget it, just scram!"
In an instant, the thousand or so Iwa-nin began to retreat one after another, the scene spectacular for a moment, yet also incomparably chaotic.
"Dammit!" Kitsuchi, who had been entangled with Guy, along with Tsuchi and To卯, felt their hearts jump when they saw this. They were now being held back by Guy, who stubbornly refused to let them support the main battlefield. Seeing their own ninja in disarray, being cut into pieces by one sword aura after another, their faces were filled with grief and indignation.
"You seem very unwilling?" Just then, a ghostly body appeared behind them, and a boy's mocking words sounded.
"You!" Kitsuchi turned around and saw Kusuo's extremely calm gaze. Looking at their eyes, it seemed... there was a kind of dismissive indifference.
"Dammit! We are existences in the Hidden Stone Village infinitely close to Kage-level combat power! Even if we met a Kage from another village, we could still—"
"Water Breathing, Fifth Form! Blessed Rain After the Drought!"
A clear voice interrupted their angry psychological activity. Kitsuchi and the others found that their inner hearts, all their negative emotions, seemed to be soothed, their eyes calming down.
The next second, they were horrified to find a blade wreathed in water spray slashing towards their necks.
Schlick!
Schlick!
Four consecutive sounds of decapitation. Four heads fell to the ground. Kitsuchi's eyes, which would never close again, held despair and unwillingness. Why? Why was my strength... my head cut off the moment we met? Do I not even have a chance to fight him...?
"Guy can't kill you, but I can."
With a flick of his arm, the water spray on the blade automatically washed away the bloodstains. Kusuo whispered softly, then sheathed his sword. He had only casually swung a few slashes at the fleeing thousand Iwa-nin, killing about a hundred. The rest he left for Tsunade and the others to do. After all, their strength was not enough. No matter how many he killed, it wouldn't add much to his role-play percentage.
But Kitsuchi and the others, at the Kage and elite jonin level of strength, were different.
[Current Role-Play Percentage: 79.99%.]
On the translucent panel in front of him, the system's prompt told him that he was getting closer and closer to the 80% mark. What was left... was to kill one or two Kage, and it would probably be enough.
He glanced in the direction Onoki had just fled. Kusuo was both amused and helpless. It was amusing because... you can run, but you can't hide. Did Onoki think he would be fine just by running back to the Hidden Stone Village?
What was helpless was... flying ninja are really a bug. They run so damn fast.
"I'll leave the rest of the cleaning up to you," Kusuo said, glancing at Guy, who was panting heavily from frequently opening the Eight Gates, then turned and left.
Guy leaned on his hands, gasping for breath. He had just exited the Eight Gates state. Watching the boy in red's figure gradually walk away, a sigh of astonishment escaped him.
"I didn't expect that the genius boy we were discussing at the barbecue restaurant a few years ago would have grown to this extent in the blink of an eye." Back then, the way Asuma had boasted about this student of his was as if it were yesterday. But in just a few short years, he had already left everyone far behind. Others... could barely even hope to see his back.
