Naruto: The Ninja World's Life Buyer

Chapter 152 One Against Ten Thousand

The northern border of the Land of Fire. A wilderness.

The sky was so gloomy it looked like it was about to collapse.

The earth was trembling.

A figure is running wildly.

The Third Raikage

He was like a tireless beast, his body crackling with lightning.

Behind him was a scorched road, scarred by lightning.

Wherever they went, no one survived.

"You scum of Konoha! Come out!" the Raikage roared.

He is very confident.

His body is said to be able to withstand the Tailed Beast Ball of the Eight-Tails. His fingers can penetrate any defense.

In this world, no one can hurt him except himself.

Even Minato Namikaze risked his life to save his son's life, without causing any harm to himself.

"Did I kill everyone left?"

His response was a buzzing sound.

Countless black insects flew in from all directions. They were the parasitic insects of the Aburame clan.

"insect?"

The Third Raikage scoffed.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Cruelty Level!"

With a casual wave of his hand, lightning erupted, instantly turning the approaching swarm of insects into charred remains.

However, there were too many insects.

It covered everything, like a dark cloud that obscured the sky.

Moreover, these insects are different.

They clung to the shadows of thunder. They were eating.

What to eat? The electrical charge emitted by lightning chakra.

These are "energy-eating insects". They are not afraid of lightning, but instead feed on it.

As the swarm of insects gathered, the Third Raikage was surprised to find that the light of his Lightning Release armor had dimmed slightly.

"Absorb my chakra?"

The Third Raikage frowned.

"That's interesting. But at this level, it's like a mosquito biting an elephant."

He stomped his foot suddenly.

boom!

The earth cracked open. The massive shockwave shattered the surrounding swarm of insects.

But at that moment...

shhhhhh! ! !

Countless white beams shot out from the distant woods. Those were ceramic crossbow bolts.

"It's that little trick again."

The Third Raikage didn't even bother to dodge.

Ding ding ding.

The crossbow bolts struck him, shattering into pieces. Not even a white mark was left.

"Too weak!"

The Third Raikage laughed heartily.

But the next second, his laughter stopped.

Because a purple liquid flowed from those shattered ceramic arrowheads.

That is—poison.

And it's not an ordinary poison.

It's Orochimaru's specially made "Cell Disintegration Fluid." It can soften cell walls and destroy protein structures.

Zizizi!

The venom made a corrosive sound when it came into contact with the Lightning Release armor.

Although it cannot penetrate instantly, it is gradually wearing down the lightning release's defensive layer.

"poison?"

The Third Raikage's eyes turned cold.

"When did Konoha become so despicable?"

"This is war, Raikage."

The Hyuga clan members stood at a distance, preparing to use the Byakugan's superior vision to launch a second round of shooting.

"A trivial skill!"

The Third Raikage roared and advanced instead of retreating.

"One-shot kill!"

The elite troops of the Hyuga branch family charged forward.

"Eight Trigrams - Empty Wall Palm!"

More than a dozen Hyuga ninjas joined forces to create a massive wall of air.

But in front of the Third Raikage, this wall was as fragile as paper.

puff!

The Third Raikage smashed through the invisible wall.

"Die!"

The Third Raikage charged into the crowd as if it were empty. Even the Hyuga clan were like straws before him, dying the moment they touched them.

This was a massacre.

"His speed must be limited."

A high-ranking ninja calmly observed from the rear.

"Earth Release Team! Change the terrain!"

"yes!"

Dozens of Earth Release ninjas joined forces to form hand seals.

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The ground instantly turned into a huge swamp. The Third Raikage's feet sank into it.

"snort!"

He wanted to pull away.

But this quagmire is different.

The swamp contained a large amount of high-viscosity resin—a special weapon provided by Sosuke.

The more you struggle, the tighter it becomes.

"Lightning Release Unleashed!"

The Third Raikage wanted to use lightning to blast open the mud pit.

But at that moment...

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

Countless streams of water gushed out from all sides, pouring onto the mud pit.

Water conducts electricity.

The electric current unleashed by the Third Raikage instantly spread throughout the mud pit along with the water flow.

He himself was unharmed; his resistance to lightning was extremely high. But this led to one consequence—

The resin hardened upon contact with heat. The mud instantly transformed into a solid block of concrete, sealing the Third Raikage's lower body inside.

"What?!"

The Third Raikage paused for a moment.

However, the next second, *click*—

A crisp sound.

The surface of the "concrete" swamp, which was mixed with high-viscosity resin and cured by water-based conductive heating, was covered with countless cracks.

The crack expanded rapidly.

Blue lightning bolts pierced through the crack.

"You think you can trap this old man with such a sleight of hand?"

boom!!!

The mud pit was completely shattered. Countless clods of earth flew everywhere like shrapnel.

The figure of the Third Raikage soared into the sky.

His lightning armor was even more dazzling than before, with blue arcs of electricity crackling in the air.

He scanned the Konoha ninja hiding behind cover. Those whose gaze swept over him felt their hearts stop.

"Is this... the physique of a peak Kage-level fighter?"

A Chunin was trembling.

That combo just now: parasitic insects drain chakra, venom corrodes, and resin solidifies.

If it were an ordinary Jonin, they would have died ten times over by now.

But in front of this monster, it only made him pause for three minutes.

"No, it's not entirely ineffective," the Hyuga Shinobu in charge of command calmly analyzed.

His glare keenly caught the details.

The Raikage's Lightning Release armor had consumed a large amount of chakra during the recent outburst.

"As long as he continues to wear down, he can be killed. Continue to lure him in, following Plan C!"

"Yes."

The Konoha ninjas dashed into the depths of the canyon behind them.

"You think you can run away from me?"

The rocks beneath the Third Raikage's feet collapsed instantly.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning pierced through the Konoha ninjas.

Even though the Hyuga ninja had already created some distance, the oppressive feeling of death still lingered.

"Two kilometers —"

As Hyuga Shinobu ran, he calculated the distance in his mind.

"Just lead him to that location—"

For a ninja, two kilometers is just a few minutes' distance.

at last.

The Hinata ninja stopped.

He stood at the exit of a canyon.

The terrain here is narrow, with cliffs reaching hundreds of meters high on both sides.

"Not running anymore?"

The Raikage caught up.

He stood at the entrance to the canyon, looking at the Hyuga clansmen ahead.

That was the last survivor among those who had ambushed him. He had killed the others.

"Is this your grave?"

Hinata Shinobu turned around.

He didn't say anything, but snapped his fingers.

Snapped.

The crisp snap of the fingers was exceptionally clear in the echo of the canyon.

Followed by.

On either side of the canyon, in the shadows of the cliffs, a pair of eyes lit up.

Red.

That's the Sharingan.

Then came the second pair, the third pair—

One hundred pairs! Two hundred pairs! Three hundred pairs!

Under the gloomy sky, countless red will-o'-the-wisps seemed to suddenly light up on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon.

Those were three hundred elite members of the Uchiha clan.

They wore dark blue garrison uniforms, with the family fan pattern on their backs fluttering in the wind.

At the very front of the line stood a man.

Uchiha Fugaku.

He crossed his arms and looked down at the Thunder Shadow below.

That look in his eyes was arrogant and indifferent.

"Raikage".

The sound of Fugaku echoed through the valley.

"This road is blocked."

The Third Raikage stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the dense array of Sharingan eyes on both sides, and his expression finally changed.

"Uchiha————"

He never imagined that the entire clan that was ostracized in Konoha would appear here.

"Let's do it!"

Without a word, Fugaku waved his hand.

Three hundred Uchiha clan members simultaneously formed hand seals. Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they were one person.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Three hundred fireballs were fired simultaneously.

They converged and merged in the air, transforming into a sea of ​​fire that covered the entire canyon sky.

A sea of ​​fire poured down.

The Third Raikage was completely submerged.

Even if it were just ordinary fire-style attacks, three hundred of them would be nothing more than slightly hot bathwater to the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor.

But this time was different. Several tons of high-grade fuel oil had been mixed into the flames—strategic materials that the Takaya Trading Company had plundered from various places.

The grease adhered to the Raikage's body and continued to burn, pushing the temperature to over two thousand degrees.

Even more terrifying is the countless detonating tags.

It wasn't just one or two sheets. It was boxes and boxes being dumped in.

Boom boom boom boom boom—!!

The continuous explosions made the earth tremble.

The rocks on both sides of the canyon were shattered and rolled down, crashing into the sea of ​​fire.

The entire canyon was transformed into a fiery hell. Flames shot skyward, reaching heights of over a hundred meters.

The terrifyingly high temperature instantly drained the oxygen from the canyon.

"ah!!!"

Even the Raikage couldn't help but roar in anger at this moment.

His Lightning Release armor can defend against physical attacks and chakra impacts. But it can't defend against—temperature.

The intense heat, reaching thousands of degrees Celsius, penetrated his body through the air and the rocks beneath his feet, relentlessly scorching him.

This is the tactic that Sousuke designed for the Uchiha clan.

The simplest, most brutal, and most expensive method is fire attack.

Turn this place into a fiery mountain. Throw the strongest shield into the furnace and roast it.

"Zzzzzzz—"

The Raikage's lightning armor fluctuated violently under the high temperature.

Lightning Release is essentially energy.

When the ambient temperature is too high, the amount of chakra required to maintain the Lightning Release Armor increases exponentially. This is because he must use chakra to insulate himself from the heat; otherwise, the water in his body would evaporate instantly, turning him into a dried-up corpse.

"Damn Konoha! You despicable scoundrels!"

Thunder Shadow roared.

He bent his knees slightly, preparing to leap onto the rock face and unleash a massacre.

"Don't let him come up!"

Fugaku calmly gave instructions.

"Second tier, Fuma Shuriken!"

shhhhhh! ! !

Fifty enormous wind demon shuriken roared down from the rock wall.

At the center of each of these shuriken is a specially made "exploding clay" mechanism by Sousuke.

Moreover, they are connected by steel wire.

Fifty Uchiha activated their Sharingan, manipulating these deadly weapons with steel wires in their hands.

The Third Sword: Infinite Chaos.

Using the Sharingan's insightful abilities, dozens of shuriken intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable steel net.

The Raikage had just jumped up when the net covered his head.

Clang!

Raikage shattered several shuriken with a punch.

But each time it is shattered, it triggers a violent explosion.

The impact of the clay explosion blasted him back to the ground from mid-air.

"Damn it!"

When Raikage landed, the ground beneath his feet had already been blasted into dust.

He was about to charge again when he found his legs buckling.

The ground had turned into quicksand at some point.

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

"This is never going to end!"

The Raikage's patience has run out.

He pushed his chakra to its limit, solidified the swamp, and then broke free.

"Hellish Thrust - Four-in-One Slash!"

He launched another charge. His target—the command post where Uchiha Fugaku was located.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

The Raikage was too fast; even the Sharingan could only catch a flash of blue light. All ninja tools and ninjutsu were shattered by his charge.

"He's coming up!"

A young Uchiha exclaimed.

"Don't panic."

Fugaku's voice was as steady as a rock.

"Illusionist class, prepare."

Fugaku gave the order.

At the top of the cliff stood thirty elite Uchiha. They had been gathering their strength for a long time.

The moment the Raikage burst out of the sea of ​​fire and his vision returned.

Thirty pairs of Sharingan eyes looked at him simultaneously.

"Illusion Art: Sea of ​​Fire!"

This isn't some sophisticated illusion. It's the most disgusting sensory interference in this situation.

Raikage had just emerged from the sea of ​​fire, and the intense light of the flames still lingered on his retinas.

The Uchiha clan's genjutsu directly took advantage of this.

In the Raikage's vision, the surrounding world did not transform into a normal landscape. Instead, it became—an even more intense sea of ​​fire.

The sky is fire, the earth is fire, even the enemy before us is fire.

This is a visual illusion.

"What?!"

Raikage paused in mid-air for a moment.

He thought he hadn't broken through yet, or that he had fallen into an enemy trap and into another pit of fire.

He hesitated in his movements.

That fatal moment.

"Let's do it!"

Fugaku gave the order.

Whoosh whoosh—

Hundreds of specially made kunai shot out from all directions.

These kunai were attached to steel wires. The wires were coated with a transparent liquid.

That was Orochimaru's specially made powerful neurotoxin. Although it couldn't penetrate lightning armor, it would become extremely sticky upon contact.

The Raikage got entangled in the steel wire. He lost his footing in mid-air and fell back into the sea of ​​fire.

boom!

The Raikage slammed into the scorching rocks once more.

"Now! Continue the attack!"

Fugaku's voice was cold and ruthless.

"Throw down all the explosive tags!"

Thousands of explosive tags rained down.

Another thunderous explosion rang out, and the canyon floor was lowered by three meters.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and the smell of sulfur was pungent.

The temperature at the bottom of the canyon was frighteningly high, and even vitrified crystals appeared on the surface of the rocks.

Wait until the bombing ends.

Everyone held their breath, staring at the smoke below.

Is that monster dead?

call-

A gust of wind blew by, and the smoke dissipated.

A figure still stands on the scorched earth.

The Third Raikage

The lightning armor on his body had become thin and intermittent.

Wounds finally appeared on that bronze skin.

The countless tiny wounds were the result of being ground down by countless shockwaves. Blood flowed down his muscles, dripping onto the scalding ground with a sizzling sound.

But he remained standing.

Like an insurmountable mountain.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Rayleigh was breathing heavily. His chest heaved violently.

Even someone with chakra reserves supposedly comparable to a tailed beast would be affected by being bombarded with ten thousand explosive tags—

He's almost at his limit.

He's tired.

On the cliff, Fugaku sighed.

"No wonder it's a monster. It's managed to withstand such terrifying heat and such frequent bombing for so long."

"However, this is the limit. It's my turn to make a move."

"Everyone, stand back."

Fugaku jumped off the cliff.

He landed in front of the Raikage.

The Raikage looked at Fugaku, his eyes still burning with fighting spirit.

"Uchiha————"

Raikage's voice was hoarse.

"So, you've finally decided to come down and die?"

"I'm here to send you on your way."

Fugaku's three tomoe spun rapidly, their afterimages overlapping and connecting to form a black three-bladed windmill pattern. In the center of each of the three blades, a circular hole remained.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

"Susanoo!"

boom!

Dark golden chakra surged forth from Fugaku's body.

A gigantic, half-skeletal giant took shape behind him.

The giant, wielding a spear, exuded a suffocating aura of power.
