The Hand of God Creates the Strongest Hidden Mist Village

Chapter 170 The Strongest Reinforcements!

The stench of blood on the battlefield grew stronger.

The gap in the flank defense was widening, and the corpses of Konoha ninjas lay scattered on the scorched ground, some still burning, others blown beyond recognition.

Orochimaru knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot.

His ninja vest was torn in several places, revealing pale, scarred skin underneath. There was a deep, bone-revealing wound on his left arm, and blood dripped down his elbow, blooming into dark red flowers on the scorched earth.

"What a mess!"

Orochimaru licked his chapped lips, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips.

He never imagined that he would be driven to this point by a group of brutes.

Huang Tu stood not far away, behind him the Explosion Squad had regrouped, a large number of elite ninjas simultaneously forming hand seals, and the Earth Release technique was activated again.

"Orochimaru, give up the fight." Huang Tu's voice was rough and cold: "Your summoning beast is gone, and your chakra is almost depleted. Today is your death day!"

Orochimaru snorted coldly, his steps already faltering, and a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Just as Huang Tu said, his situation was very bad. Having exhausted all his means, even his chakra was almost depleted.

To be honest, he hadn't experienced this feeling of being on the verge of death in a very, very long time.

The last time was when I was facing Hanzo.

This time, however, it was even more dangerous than the last.

There were no reinforcements, no summoning beasts, and even the retreat route was blocked by the Iwa ninja.

"Surrender, Orochimaru!"

"surrender?"

Orochimaru let out a low chuckle: "Jiraiya died in the Hidden Mist battlefield, so why do you think I'm worse than that idiot?"

Before he could finish speaking, Orochimaru suddenly stood up, his hands forming hand seals at an astonishing speed!

"Ninja Art: Ten Thousand Snake Formation!"

Countless venomous snakes surged out of his sleeves, clothes, and even mouth like a tidal wave, instantly covering the ground within dozens of meters around him.

The venomous snakes, brightly colored and hissing, bared their fangs and lunged at Huang Tu and his demolition squad!

"sucker Punch!"

Huang Tu snorted coldly and slammed his hands down on the ground.

"Earth Release: Earth Formation Wall!"

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The earth trembled violently, and a thick earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking most of the venomous snakes' impact. At the same time, the elite ninjas behind him formed hand seals, releasing various earth-style ninjutsu one after another, and throwing kunai with explosive tags at Orochimaru like they were throwing money at him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Orochimaru was under immense pressure, and the other Konoha ninjas were in even greater peril.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

A cry, choked with sobs, came from the side and behind.

Orochimaru turned around abruptly, his pupils shrinking sharply.

It's red beans!

His disciple, Mitarashi Anko, was back-to-back with a black-haired girl, surrounded by several Iwagakure Chunin.

Red Bean's short knife was stained with blood, but she also had multiple wounds on her body and was breathing rapidly, clearly on the verge of collapse.

The black-haired girl behind her was in even worse condition; her chakra was almost depleted, and her red pupils were filled with exhaustion and despair.

Red Sunset!

Orochimaru recognized the girl; she was the daughter of Yuhi Shinku, a Chunin skilled in genjutsu.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"

The two women were in grave danger. Orochimaru, their teacher, narrowly escaped an attack and quickly formed hand seals.

Several venomous snakes shot out from her sleeves, accurately biting two Iwagakure Chunin who were rushing towards Anko. At the same time, a gust of wind swept in, temporarily forcing back the remaining Iwagakure ninja who were surrounding her.

"Still have time to be distracted?"

Huang Tu's rough voice was like thunder. He had already crossed the chaotic battlefield and was heading straight for Orochimaru.

His already thick arms covered the giant rock, and the terrifying attack, seemingly carrying the force of a thousand pounds, slammed into Orochimaru's hastily raised arms. His bones groaned under the strain, and Orochimaru was sent flying like a cannonball, carving a deep trench in the ground before finally coming to a stop by crashing into a protruding rock.

"cough."

A mouthful of blood gushed from Orochimaru's throat, and his face turned ashen.

He looked down at his arms, where the bones were protruding and the bones were almost shattered.

Huang Tu pressed his advantage, but Orochimaru suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a completely new Orochimaru emerged from it, wet and intact. He had dodged Huang Tu's attack, and his injuries to his hands were completely unharmed.

Orochi-style Substitution Technique!

"Substitution Jutsu, huh? Let's see how many more times you can use it!"

A cold glint flashed in Huang Tu's eyes as he lunged forward once more.

His arms, covered in thick rock, were like two giant hammers, crashing down on Orochimaru with a whooshing sound.

Orochimaru gritted his teeth and dodged, his figure weaving through the explosions and debris, looking utterly disheveled. His chakra was almost depleted; while the Orochimaru Substitution Technique could repair physical damage, it also consumed a tremendous amount of chakra.

If this continues, he won't last three minutes.

In the distance, the situation on the other side, where Red Bean and Sunset Red were, was already in dire straits.

Anko's short sword was parried by a Chunin from Iwagakure, and another Iwagakure ninja seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from the side, thrusting his kunai straight at her back.

"red beans!"

Kurenai Yuhi cried out in alarm, using the last of her chakra to cast a genjutsu in an attempt to disrupt the Iwa ninja's movements. However, her chakra was already depleted, and the genjutsu only caused the opponent to pause slightly before losing its effect.

That rock ninja's fist was less than half a foot away from Anko's back.

Red Bean closed her eyes in despair.

At this critical moment.

"Divine Might".

A calm, almost indifferent voice rang out on the battlefield.

A distorted space appeared on the Iwa ninja without warning.

Before he could even let out a scream, his upper body vanished in the twisting vortex, leaving only half of his body to crash to the ground.

"What?!"

The surrounding Iwa ninja were horrified and retreated hastily, scanning their surroundings warily.

Red Bean and Kurenai, still shaken, opened their eyes and looked in the direction from which the strange attack had come.

A figure emerged slowly from the smoke of battle, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

He was dressed in a simple black casual outfit, his long black hair fluttering slightly in the wind, a nonchalant smile on his face, and his bloodshot eyes that sent a jolt through everyone present.

Sharingan?!

"Sorry I'm a little late."

Makoto Karatachi stood in front of the two women, blocking the gazes of all the Iwa ninja, his tone as relaxed as if he were not on a battlefield, but taking a stroll in his own backyard.

"Are you alright?"

Hongdou stared blankly at the man who had suddenly appeared, unsure of what to say.

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes widened even more.

As a member of a family specializing in illusion techniques, she naturally recognized the Sharingan. Yuhi Shinku had told her more than once while teaching her illusion techniques that as long as she mastered the secret techniques of illusion they possessed, she would be absolutely able to contend with the Sharingan.

But these Sharingan eyes are different from ordinary Sharingan eyes.

"Sharingan, Uchiha?!"

A Chunin from Iwagakure cried out in surprise, drawing the attention of the surrounding Konoha ninjas, and many Uchiha members also turned their gazes toward him.

The moment they saw who it was, all the Uchiha people froze.

In the initial troop deployment, most of the Uchiha clan members were on the Kirigakure battlefield. Now that the battle in Kirigakure has ended, they have naturally been transferred here to deal with the most troublesome Iwagakure.

Therefore, many Uchiha had met Makoto Karatachi.

"No! It's not a Konoha headband! This guy—this guy is from Kirigakure!"

The shock lasted only a few seconds before an Iwa ninja discovered the blind spot, but as soon as he said this, everyone present changed color.

Hidden in the mist?!

How did the people of Kirigakure end up on the battlefield of the Land of Grass?

Ignoring the shock and confusion of the Iwa ninja, Makoto Kariju simply turned his head slightly and gave a gentle smile to the two still-shaken girls behind him.

"Ladies, it's not safe here. Perhaps you could step back a bit?"

Before Aoko and Yuhi Kurenai could react, Makoto Gojibana's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

He leaped into the air, his kunai flashing coldly in the air.

This guy's fighting style is extremely exaggerated. The super dynamic vision granted by the Mangekyou Sharingan allows him to move directly across the battlefield. With each swing of his kunai, an Iwa ninja falls, either with his throat cut or his heart pierced, cleanly and decisively, without any hesitation.

"Scatter! Scatter now!"

The leader of the Iwagakure Jonin was both shocked and furious, and shouted orders in a stern voice.

But Makoto Karatachi's movements were too fast and too ruthless. Before the Iwa ninja could react, three or four of them had already fallen into pools of blood.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

With one hand forming a hand seal, Makoto Koji spewed out a high-pressure jet of water that swept across like a sharp blade, slicing two Iwa ninjas who were trying to counterattack in half at the waist.

Blood and entrails splattered everywhere, creating a bloody and horrifying scene.

In just a few breaths, the seven or eight Iwa ninja who were besieging Anko and Kurenai were all killed.

Makoto Koji shook off the bloodstains on the kunai, turned around, and gave the two dumbfounded girls a bright smile.

"Okay, we're safe now."

Hongdou opened her mouth, as if to say something, but found that she had no idea what to say.

This suddenly appearing Hidden Mist ninja is ridiculously strong, and—why is he saving them?

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes widened, her mind in turmoil.

As the heir to a family renowned for genjutsu (illusionary techniques), she knew all too well what those eyes meant. The Mangekyou Sharingan! Those were the legendary eyes of the Uchiha clan! How could they appear on a Hidden Mist Village?

"etc!"

Red Bean, on the other hand, seemed to have thought of something.

As Orochimaru's disciple, although she had never set foot on the battlefield of Kirigakure, she was aware of the name and existence that brought shame upon Konoha.

"You're Makoto Gojibana?!"

"Oh?"

Gouju Cheng raised an eyebrow: "It's not a good habit to call your savior by their name like that."

""

Red Bean remained silent.

Just then, a deafening explosion came from afar, followed by Huang Tu's rough roar: "Orochimaru!"

Prepare to die!

Gouju Cheng's eyes narrowed as he looked in that direction.

Orochimaru's condition was extremely bad.

Huang Tu, leading his elite troops, forced Orochimaru to the edge of the position. Orochimaru was covered in blood, his left arm hanging limply at his side, clearly dislocated. Although his Orochimaru Substitution Technique could heal his injuries, the depletion of his chakra had brought him close to his limit.

"You two, you'd better hide."

Gouju Cheng left behind a sentence and disappeared from the spot again.

Just as Huang Tu was about to launch his final attack on Orochimaru, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger coming from behind. He turned around abruptly and crossed his fists to block.

clang!

A deafening metallic clang rang out, and Huang Tu felt a tremendous force surge through his arms, causing him to involuntarily stumble back several steps, his feet carving deep furrows in the ground.

He looked closely and saw a young man with black hair standing where he had just been standing, a kunai in his hand gleaming coldly, and a half-smile on his face.

"Sharingan? Wait—the Hidden Mist headband?!"

Huang Tu's pupils constricted sharply. "Gouju Cheng?!"

The name Makoto Kuraki is no longer a secret in the ninja world. A monster who can replicate bloodlines, he single-handedly defeated Konoha's top ninja!

Although Iwagakure's intelligence network wasn't as developed as Konoha's, Huang Tu had still heard of Makoto Karatachi's name.

"Oh, you know me?"

Gouju Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Then there's no need for self-introductions."

Huang Tu's expression was solemn. He slowly took two steps back and made a hand gesture to alert the surrounding Iwa ninja.

"Makoto Karatachi, this is a battlefield between Iwagakure and Konoha. What are you, a ninja from Kirigakure, doing here?"

"Just joining in the fun?" Makoto Koji tilted his head. "I'm not here to join in the fun. I'm being paid to do something for someone else. I have a mission to complete."

"Wh-what?"

"Ah." Makoto Koji grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "The daimyo of the Land of Fire paid me two hundred million ryo to help. I'm a man of integrity; once I've taken the money, I'll definitely do my job."

Huang Tu's face darkened.

Two hundred million taels to hire a Hidden Mist ninja for help?

But whether he's crazy or not, Makoto Karatachi's presence here is definitely not a good thing for Iwagakure.

"Just you alone?" Huang Tu scoffed. "What do you think you can change?"

"Give it a try."

Gouju shrugged, his tone relaxed.

Just as the two were facing off, a violent explosion suddenly came from afar, followed by countless streams of water being blasted apart. A figure materialized in the broken rocks and water, falling down in a disheveled state next to Gouju Cheng.

It was the full moon of Hozuki.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Hozuki Mangetsu stumbled and fell beside Makoto Karatachi, soaking wet, his Water Transformation Technique nearly shattered. He grimaced as he got up, pointing at the figure slowly emerging from the dust.

"Brother Cheng, that guy's Explosion Release is too weird! I almost couldn't withstand it with my Water Transformation!"

Ignoring Man Yue's complaints, Gouju Cheng looked past the yellow earth and landed on the man who emerged from the rubble.

Iwagakure jounin, hunting.

The user of the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, his strength ranks among the top of the Iwagakure Jonin. That attack just now almost shattered the Full Moon's Water Transformation Technique.

"Kujiri Honesty————"

Shou stood beside Huang Tu, his gaze fixed coldly on Gouju Cheng. There was no surprise in his eyes, only vigilance and killing intent.

"I didn't expect the people from Kirigakure to be here. What, Kirigakure is getting involved too?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Makoto Koji waved his hand, looking sincere. "I'm just a mercenary, I do what I'm paid to do, so all my actions from now on represent only my personal opinion and have nothing to do with Kirigakure."

Huang Tu and Shou exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Hiring mercenaries?

Doing things for money?

Who are you trying to fool with this nonsense?!

Makoto Karatachi's name is already well-known throughout the ninja world. Moreover, Makoto Karatachi is now the assistant to the Mizukage of Kirigakure. Under such circumstances, how could he be considered a mere mercenary?

"Makoto Gojibana, I don't care what your purpose is in coming here."

Huang Tu said in a deep voice, his fists clenched tightly, and a yellowish-brown chakra light emanated from his rock-like fists: "If you retreat now, Iwagakure will forgive you for interfering in the battle, but if you insist on meddling—"

"Oh?"

Gouju Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "Then what?"

"Then let's stay here!"

Before he finished speaking, Huang Tu stomped his foot on the ground and shot towards Gouju Cheng like a cannonball!

"Earth Release: Fist Rock!"

His already thick arms were instantly covered with a thick layer of rock, more than doubling in size, and slammed down on Makoto Goji's face with tremendous force.

At the same time, Hunting also made a move.

"Explosive Release: Landmine Fist!"

His right hand was also covered with rock, but unlike the yellow earth, the surface of the rock was covered with fine cracks, and a faint red light emanated from the cracks—that was the Explosion Release chakra that was about to be detonated!

The two, positioned on the left and right, worked in perfect coordination, sealing off all of Makoto Koji's escape routes.

One relies on pure physical force to crush, the other on the impact of an explosion to cover.

Even a Kage-level powerhouse would have to give way to this combination.

However, Gouju Cheng didn't even lift his eyelids.

Divine power.

His figure suddenly blurred just as the two were about to hit him.

The yellow earth fist passed through Makoto's head, and Kari's landmine fist pierced his chest. The two attacks collided, creating a deafening roar and shockwave.

But the jujube tree remained completely unharmed.

"What?!"

The yellow earth and the hunting grounds both changed color at the same time.

They had heard that Makoto Karatachi possessed space-time ninjutsu, but witnessing firsthand this ability that completely ignored physical attacks still sent a chill down their spines.

"Finished?"

Makoto Goji's voice came from the blurred figure, tinged with a hint of mockery.

"Then it's my turn."

The kaleidoscope in his eyes suddenly spun, and a distorted space appeared beside Huang Tu.

Huang Tu had extremely rich combat experience. The moment the divine power was activated, he sensed the danger and rolled to the side.

"Sizzle!"

His left arm was grazed by the spatial distortion caused by the divine power, and a large piece of flesh and clothing were torn off, blood gushing out and revealing the bare white bones.

"Captain Loess!"

Shou exclaimed in surprise and quickly formed hand seals.

"Explosive Release: Landmine Scattershot!"

Dozens of pebbles, imbued with Explosion Release chakra, shot towards Makoto Karatachi like shotgun pellets, covering an area of ​​several tens of meters in radius.

Gouju Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

While he could be immune to this wide-range explosive attack, his two girls were right behind him, so he couldn't dodge.

Then let's just take it head-on.

"Susanoo!"

Gouju Cheng's deep voice echoed across the battlefield, like the utterances of an ancient god.

The next moment, a surge of chakra, almost tangible, erupted from his body!

Purple chakra rose from his body like flames, quickly condensing and solidifying, first in his ribs, then in his arms, and finally in his enormous head.

A purple giant, tens of meters tall, appeared out of thin air in the center of the battlefield!

The giant was clad in armor, with a majestic face, and huge wing-like structures stretched out from his back. Flowing bands of chakra light wrapped around his body, like a war god descended to earth!

Hunt's Explosion Release rained down on Susanoo, unleashing a series of explosions that obscured the view with fire and smoke.

But when the smoke cleared, there wasn't even a crack on the surface of Susanoo!

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

Shou's eyes widened, his voice filled with disbelief.

The loess soil turned a dark blue-brown.

He had seen many powerful ninjutsu and had heard of the Uchiha clan's Susanoo, but witnessing this level of power firsthand still left him with a deep sense of powerlessness.

This is a power that ordinary ninjas cannot contend with!

"what!"

In the distance, several Iwa ninja who were unable to dodge in time were blasted away by the shockwave from Susanoo, screaming as they fell dozens of meters away.

Everyone on the battlefield was stunned by this scene.

Both Nobuyo and Iwagakure stared blankly at the blue-purple giant, their minds completely blank.

What on earth is going on?!

"Don't be afraid, children."

Makoto Karatachi controlled Susanoo with imposing grandeur.

"Your daddy's here!"
