"Look, you're an old man with one foot in the grave, and you're still the same as always..."

"There is no cure!"

The [Empty Cicada Technique] transmitted Ara's voice to the ears of every Iwagakure ninja.

And they didn't detect any anger in their voices, only deep disdain.

It wasn't disdain from Konoha.

It was simply the disdain from the Uchiha clan.

Such a sound plunged the entire Iwagakure army into a brief silence, and the war seemed to be put on hold for a moment.

but,

Yet no one felt the slightest discomfort or other emotion because of such psychological manipulation.

Yes, perhaps what the other person said is correct.

In this battle, our side is the invader, and the weak in Iwagakure are merely used as cannon fodder to wear down the enemy's strength.

but,

Conflict, the survival of the fittest.

This is the essence of the ninja world, isn't it?

Moreover, as ninjas, they should have long been prepared to sacrifice themselves for the mission and for the greater good.

This is the awareness a ninja should have!

"You are not allowed to insult my Lord Tsuchikage."

"Evil Uchiha, die!"

The Iwagakure man, pulling a kunai from his ninja pouch, roared and charged at the near-demon, but in the end, he couldn't even touch the hem of the man's clothes; the sharp ninja tool only sliced ​​through a phantom shadow.

[Secret Technique: Mirror Flower, Water Moon!]

Such a roar, such an unfolding, will also completely awaken the other Iwagakure ninjas surrounding them.

"That guy must be out of chakra, which is why he resorted to such a clumsy psychological tactic!"

"Ha, the so-called Uchiha, the arrogant Uchiha, actually resort to such despicable means. They really are a declining clan."

"Attack together, take him down!!"

"........"

The morale of the Iwagakure ninja, which had been slipping, began to stop and rise again in that short moment, maintained by the Will of Stone, and began to shine brightly again, just like when they first clashed!

However, in Huang's eyes, this situation was extremely ridiculous.

Indeed, after this fierce battle and the use of Susanoo several times, as well as the large-scale ninjutsu he performed, his chakra was almost completely depleted.

However, he was never fighting alone.

Ōnoki had his vast army of Iwagakure.

He himself possessed the Thirty-Three Demons' Night Parade as a covert support.

"Since you are so eager,"

The boy reappeared on the towering city wall, his face contorted and strange as he spoke the prelude.

As he finished speaking, clusters of azure flames coiled around his body, and his nearly depleted state was re-injected with a vast and surging energy.

【Entangled by Ghosts: A Promise of Fireworks!】

With his power restored, Huang slowly raised his arms, his eyes growing increasingly cold.

Pathetic fellows.

I said these things not because I was afraid.

[Instead, keep killing, and that guy will come out!]

"But since you are so eager for it."

The boy standing on the city wall reiterated once again,

"Then let's wipe them all out!!"

[Secret Technique: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!]

Upon closer inspection, countless clones of the Wilderness stood atop the massive surrounding wall.

The clothes embroidered with round fan patterns fluttered in the wind.

Chapter 425 Crawling, Eternal Suppression from the Uchiha!

Looking up at those countless solid clones, the Iwagakure army's ever-rising morale instantly cooled down.

Although no one spoke out directly, a thought was resounding in their hearts:

Is that guy even human?

"Don't panic, maintain formation!"

"It's just a mere Multiple Shadow Clone Technique; its strength is less than one-tenth of the original body. Crush them!"

"The sensory unit has locked onto his true form. Don't let that bastard escape in the chaos!!"

The scene that had stirred up unrest was stabilized through a series of orderly commands.

Moreover, the wording of the command was also very clever.

To describe the forbidden technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which some ninjas could never perform in their entire lives, as something trivial, and to interpret this imminent battle as a smokescreen, or as the prey trying to escape in the chaos.

These are just small tricks used to stabilize morale.

However, they seem to have overlooked one fact: even if the clone they created has less than one-tenth the power of the original, it is still a powerful clone, not some random cat or dog clone!

"All right."

"Then let's continue!"

Ignoring the rhetoric of the commanders within the Iwagakure army

All Huang did was raise his battle blade, utter his declaration, and then leap into faith towards the vast army of Iwagakure.

The free wind brushed past his ears, and the dark red earth drew ever closer.

The faces of the Hidden Stone Villagers standing on it became increasingly clear, their anger, fear, dauntlessness, and trembling all becoming meticulously captured by the Mangekyou Sharingan.

But at this time,

The boy slowly closed his right eye, letting darkness fill his entire field of vision.

"Stop them!"

"Those who have exhausted their chakra use ninja tools for ranged attacks."

"Those with surplus chakra, form the hand seals for [Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear], targeting the rock wall directly in front of you!"

A slightly hoarse roar broke free of the throat as the man's declaration to continue fighting fell, and it filled the entire battlefield.

His pupils were wide open, seemingly about to burst out of their sockets; his clenched fists were covered with menacing veins.

The anger, the crushed dust, and the prolonged shouting caused the powerful Iwagakure members among them to cough and feel unwell after yelling out their commands.

Although they did not directly participate in this close-quarters war, the tension they felt and the effort they poured into it were an enormous drain that could not be ignored.

The so-called "Will of Stone" is not simply an act of piling up the lives of the weak to achieve victory!

Rather, it is a will that is relentless, unwavering, and steadfast. As captains and commanders, they exist to minimize the loss of their comrades!

"For the Third Hokage!"

"For the future of Iwagakure!"

"For the greatness of the Land of Earth once again!!"

After a violent coughing fit, the commanders, their faces contorted with rage, roared again!

This infamous invasion was not a decision made unilaterally by the Tsuchikage, but a conclusion reached after unanimous discussion among all the high-ranking officials of Iwagakure.

Only they can truly understand the immense pressure the Third Hokage was under!

Surrounding area

Iwagakure and Sunagakure have always been at odds, and could even be considered sworn enemies!

Sunagakure and Konoha also have a treaty of mutual defense and offense.

Although many people are well aware that this treaty is just a piece of paper and could be torn to shreds at any time due to some event.

but,

Driven by enormous profits, it's hard to guarantee that these two forces won't one day form a true alliance!

And one of those in the future could very well be...

One hundred years after their own leader.

Compared to the Fourth Kazekage, who was in his prime, and the legendary Sannin of Konoha, who were renowned far and wide, their side seemed somewhat outmatched.

Therefore,

That's why the Third Hokage was willing to initiate this seemingly unjust invasion war, in order to preserve a trump card for his side that could once again protect Iwagakure for a hundred generations!

And they are very clear about it.

In this war, the one who suffers the most, endures the most torment, and bears the most pain is none other than their Tsuchikage-sama!

Every Iwagakure ninja was like a child to him.

therefore,

For such a guardian deity, for such a will and reason.

"Give up your names, give up your future, give up your lives!"

"Kill him!!"

The intermittent roars surged again in that instant.
