If the technique is leaked, especially if it is mastered by the Uchiha clan, whom the Konoha leadership fears and rejects, the consequences will be endless.

Having gained nothing and bearing the infamy of invasion, Onoki will surely pass on this information to those old foxes in Konoha after his return.

This will inevitably provoke those four—no, those three old geezers—to launch further attacks!

The reason this ability is being revealed now is not only because the time has come to use it, but also because it is no longer particularly important for Iwagakure to know about its existence.

After all, having gone through this incident, would Iwagakure still dare to actively seek connections with Konoha?

Being able to continue safely hiding in the north would be the best possible outcome.

Moreover, given this situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi will have to seriously consider whether he still dares to openly break ties within the village.

Of course, Konoha's overall combat strength undoubtedly surpasses that of Iwagakure, but by how much?

Even if Iwagakure is defeated, the Land of Earth in the north still has the most advantageous geographical position as a stronghold, but the Land of Fire is truly flat and open!

Most importantly, wouldn't it be better to just eliminate the person in charge who can identify this ninjutsu?

Just like now!

"Sandaime-sama, be careful!"

"You bastard!!"

"Damn Uchiha!!!"

"........."

The strange changes in the sky naturally attracted the attention of the Iwagakure members, after all, it was difficult to ignore or choose to disregard the crazy roaring thunder.

At this moment, their dissatisfaction and questioning of their own "shadows" transformed into a united front against a common enemy.

After all, that is the faith of Iwagakure!

After all, the one who truly slaughtered his own people was a demon from the Uchiha clan!

"Sandaime-sama!"

After a terrified roar,

Akatsuchi, known as the "Unparalleled Strength Earth Shadow Shield," flew angrily into the sky, as the Light-Heavy Rock Technique that Onoki had placed on him had not yet been dispelled.

No matter how much praise he receives from within and outside Iwagakure, and no matter how powerful his Earth Release defense is, at this moment, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst!

The elemental spear, crackling with lightning, tore through the air and hurled itself down at the old man standing in the void.

There was no pause, no pity whatsoever.

All that remained was the relentless, brutal onslaught of lightning and the elemental advantage of lightning over earth.

'boom! ’

In the instant of the collision, countless fragments of stone rained down from the sky.

At this critical moment, Onoki managed to create a clay golem using his decades of combat experience and profound knowledge, blocking the opponent's seemingly inevitable attack.

But even so,

Even though he relied on his extraordinary combat experience to hastily use the [Earth Release: Steel Legacy Technique] to block the attack.

But he still made a fatal mistake:

In the midst of the swirling dust and rocks, I subconsciously glanced at the instigator who had caused all of this to happen!

And in that brief moment, that extremely cold crimson hue was reflected in his aged eyes, which were filled with anger and sorrow.

【Oops! 】

These were Onoki's last thoughts, after which he seemed to sink into the boundless deep sea, utterly powerless to resist.

"No wonder he's the longest-living Tsuchikage."

"They actually dared to try to look directly at the Mangekyou Sharingan."

As the boy murmured his evaluation, a ring of snow-white chakra skeletons slowly materialized around his body.

"Then, I wonder if you are also able to accept the power of Susanoo?"

As they spoke, thunder and hurricanes raged and crashed down from the sky—that was Ghostly Entanglement: [Divine Sin Wind and Thunder!]

Then the giant, suspended in mid-air, slowly raised his arms.

Then, ignoring the scattered rocks in the air, ignoring the roars and surrenders from the Hidden Rocks, it clenched its fist in the void and mercilessly smashed it at the old guy who was already in a state of collapse!

As for so-called apologies and surrenders, we're not children anymore.

When Ara attempted to leave with his friends through Susanoo but was forcibly stopped, a situation of no return had already formed.

Since it's already a fight to the death,

There is only one way to break through this barrier: beat these guys into submission, crush them in the mud and dust, and make these troublemakers, whether they are the ones who suffer the consequences or those hiding behind the scenes, tremble with fear at the sight of your eyes. Only then can this hidden danger be truly eliminated!

Negotiations without bloodshed are just empty words!

Thump!

A sonic boom erupted in the air.

The giant's clenched fists slammed down on Onoki, who was instantly smashed to the ground like a rootless duckweed.

The world seemed to be silenced for a moment.

The endless sounds and roars that had previously lingered in the void all came to a complete halt and vanished at this moment.

All that remained was the tangible, deafening sound of that instantaneous crash.

'Boom. '

Accompanied by the lingering sound of it sinking into the ground,

That being, representing an era, was knocked off its pedestal right before everyone's eyes and blasted into that shattered field, stained with the blood and bones of the Iwagakure ninja.

There were no miracles, and there was nothing in the void that could serve as a substitute.

Without a doubt,

The one that was smashed into the ground was their Third Tsuchikage!

'Clap. '

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out, breaking the silence of the Iwagakure army.

Following the sound, they saw a burly Iwagakure ninja kneeling slumped on the gravelly ground. His eyes were vacant and his arms hung limply at his sides, the ninja tool he was holding slipping to the side.

This scene was like a chain reaction after Pandora's box was opened, with more and more Iwagakure ninjas collapsing to their knees in despair.

The formidable army was ruthlessly slaughtered;

The predecessors who were the backbone of the nation have all been buried.

Now even the Third Hokage has been blasted down like this!

Their faith, their will to continue fighting,

At that moment, everything shattered.

Even Akatsuchi, who was deeply trusted by Onoki and became a Jonin at a young age, was stunned halfway through the rescue under such circumstances. His pale face and collapsing will made him look like a soulless walking corpse.

At the same time, a message similar to that from three years ago appeared on Huang's mission panel.

[Title Quest: Suppression, Iwagakure Lineage!]

Mission Description: "Kage" is a title that only the leaders of the five great ninja villages can possess.

He symbolizes the strongest fighting force in this power, and is a virtuous and talented leader who is deeply loved by his subordinates.

Similarly, he is the spiritual symbol of this power, an existence that cannot be desecrated.

Any damage would be an irreversible blow to the entire force behind it.

but,

Mere shadow!

(P.S.: [Suppression, Iwagakure lineage!] Title: When a ninja belonging to Iwagakure faces their host, their combat power in all directions decreases by 10%, and their fighting spirit decreases by 10%.)

Just like when he broke through the defenses of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and obtained the title of "Suppressor of the Kirigakure Lineage," Ara only glanced at this message and moved on.

Because it's meaningless.

Moreover, are there still any people in Iwagakure?

'Click, click...'

After landing, the boy walked over the broken bones and rubble to the spot where the Third Tsuchikage had fallen.

"Hmm, as expected of the longest-lived Kage of Iwagakure, he's still alive."

A look of surprise appeared on Ara's face as he watched Onoki coughing up blood and barely breathing.

However, this astonishment was quickly replaced by a meaningful mockery.

"Well, that's fine too."

"Living people are always more useful than dead people, am I right, Third Hokage?"
