Chapter 801 Blocking My Forbidden Book?
"Hmph, trying to block my forbidden technique? Wishful thinking!" Granny Chiyo shrieked, her ten fingers dancing wildly, her chakra surging into the Chikamatsu Ten Ninja like a volcanic eruption.
The ten puppets unleashed astonishing power, each displaying its full capabilities. Some puppets extended sharp blades, slicing through "Return to Heaven" at incredible speed; others spewed out scorching flames, burning the chakra; still others released powerful shockwaves, attempting to shatter "Return to Heaven."
Under the fierce attack of the Chikamatsu Ten, the Hyuga clan's proud "Repair" began to crack, and its rotation speed slowed down.
"This...this is impossible!" The Hyuga clansmen's eyes were filled with disbelief and horror. Their proud absolute defense had actually been broken by these ten puppets!
"The situation is not right. The clan leader has given instructions not to linger in battle. Retreat immediately!" A composed Hyuga clan member decisively issued the order to retreat. He knew that this was not the time to act rashly; preserving strength was the most important thing.
"Yes!" the other Hyuga clan members responded in unison. Although they were unwilling, they understood that the current situation was very unfavorable to them.
"Bagua Kongzhang!"
All the Hyuga clan members simultaneously unleashed the "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm," and the powerful chakra shockwave instantly blasted the ten members of the Shinjuku clan away. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they pounded the ground while throwing out a large number of smoke bombs.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thick smoke instantly billowed out, raising a thick cloud of dust that enveloped the entire battlefield. Under the cover of the smoke, the Hyuga clan members swiftly retreated, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
Granny Chiyo looked at the battlefield shrouded in smoke, her face filled with resentment. She wanted to give chase, but she was afraid of accidentally harming the Sand Ninja still on the battlefield.
"Damn it!" She stomped her foot angrily, but ultimately gave up the pursuit.
Granny Chiyo stared at the blood-stained battlefield, her eyes bloodshot. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain whatsoever.
"Ah—!" She let out a heart-wrenching scream, her voice like that of a wounded beast, filled with endless resentment and madness. "Konoha! You scum of Konoha! I swear, I will kill you all and destroy Konoha! I will turn Konoha into ruins!"
Her voice echoed in the night sky, filled with intense killing intent and despair, making the surrounding atmosphere even more terrifying.
From the rear, Rasa, who had been observing the battle, took in everything that was happening on the battlefield. When he saw Granny Chiyo unleash the "White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Ten," a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. However, when he saw the "Rotation" technique broken and the Hyuga clan retreat, his heart sank to the bottom once more. He knew that Granny Chiyo had truly failed this time.
Rasa wanted to send reinforcements, but a faint killing intent locked onto him. That killing intent was almost tangible, making him feel like he was being pricked by thorns; any slight movement would surely invite a fatal blow. It was the aura of the Third Hokage, a Kage-level powerhouse who, once he made his move, would give him no chance.
"Damn it!" Rasa cursed inwardly, snapping out of his dream of destroying Konoha. Looking at the countless puppeteers dead, he felt a chill run down his spine. He realized that he and Granny Chiyo, driven by their eagerness for glory and revenge, had deviated from their original strategic objectives and chosen to launch a full-scale attack on Konoha. Now both sides were severely weakened, but the losses for Sunagakure were clearly greater.
"This can't go on any longer!" Luo Sha gritted his teeth, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Since that's the case, then let's fight to the death!"
He suddenly raised his head and let out a deafening roar: "Sand Shukaku!"
With Rasa's roar, a massive surge of chakra swept outwards. The earth trembled violently, and a thick, dusty smell filled the air.
"Roar--!"
A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth, revealing the massive body of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast. Its thick limbs, its body covered in cursed seals, and its demonic face all exuded an aura of destruction. Shukaku unleashed a passionate roar, and waves of air surged towards Konoha Village like a tsunami, uprooting surrounding trees and sending debris flying.
"That's... a tailed beast!"
"Oh my god, that's Shukaku!"
The Konoha ninjas were filled with shock and fear upon seeing this sudden, enormous creature. They knew the destructive power of the Tailed Beasts; if this monster were allowed into the village, it would be an unimaginable disaster.
"We can't let the monsters into the village!" a Konoha ninja shouted, his voice filled with despair.
However, just as everyone finished speaking, several transparent barriers suddenly rose up around Shukaku. These barriers, like invisible walls, trapped Shukaku within them.
"Oh, so he's finally appeared?" An aged voice rang out, and the figure of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, appeared out of thin air above the barrier. His expression was solemn, and his hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals.
"This...this is!" Rasa's pupils shrank suddenly. He felt the powerful chakra emanating from the Third Hokage and the terrifying power contained within the barrier.
A dazzling white light flashed within the barrier, so intense that it eclipsed everything around it. When the light faded, Shukaku, who had been so imposing just moments before, vanished into thin air! At the same time, the Third Hokage also disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there at all.
In the distance, a glint of wisdom gleamed in Zhang Hai's eyes. He looked at the spot where Shukaku had disappeared, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Just as I thought..." Zhang Hai thought to himself, "The Third Hokage had anticipated this. He set up multiple spacetime barriers in the locations where Shukaku might appear to prevent Shukaku from destroying the village. That old fox, he really has a plan that never fails."
Rasa was completely dumbfounded when he saw Shukaku vanish into thin air. He simply couldn't believe his eyes; Shukaku had simply disappeared! He finally understood why the Third Hokage had abandoned Mount Kikyo and chosen Konoha as the final battlefield. It turned out he had risked the destruction of the village to scheme against him, to plot against Sunagakure's ultimate weapon!
"Oh no! Shukaku... Shukaku hasn't been sealed away, has it?!" Rasa's face turned pale. If Shukaku was sealed away, Sunagakure would lose its ultimate weapon, which would be a devastating blow to the village. Considering the outcome of the Battle of Kikyo Mountain, he knew Shukaku had no chance of winning against the Third Hokage in a one-on-one fight. Thinking of this, Rasa completely panicked.
"Retreat, Granny Chiyo!" Rasa gave the final order to Granny Chiyo in the distance, his voice filled with despair and resentment. "We can't win anymore. I'll go find Shukaku first; I can't let it fall into my hands!"
After saying that, he disregarded whether Granny Chiyo would listen to him or not, and with his feet covered in magnetic sand, he sped off like an arrow towards the place where the barrier had just fluctuated.
