Chapter 154 The Third Raikage's Awareness

Bang bang bang!

The three shadow clones that were besieging the Third Hokage couldn't hold out for more than a few seconds before being destroyed by Sarutobi's Moonstone.

Sarutobi Tsukishiro's speed in activating the Eight Gates Formation was simply too fast.

Li Yao's plan to use Shadow Clone Jutsu to engage the Third Hokage in close combat and force Sarutobi Tsukishiro to be unable to unleash Evening Elephant from a distance failed.

The key point is that Sarutobi Gekisai, in his Eight Gates Formation state, was immune to genjutsu, and his rampaging chakra instantly destroyed Li Yao's genjutsu chakra.

Without the threat of illusion, and lacking the speed of Sarutobi Moonstone, Li Yaoying's clone was quickly destroyed by Sarutobi Moonstone.

"Moonstone, I'm leaving Li Yao in your hands with Ayase."

The Third Hokage has finally come to terms with reality. He can no longer keep up with the other four Kage. In this battle to kill Li Yao, his presence will only be a hindrance.

"I see."

Sarutobi Tsukishi nodded with difficulty, his veins glowing with a fiery red light, indicating that his body was nearing its limit.

The Third Hokage dared not waste any more time with Sarutobi Moonstone and said to Kato Dan on his body, "Dan, go to Ayase and protect her from Li Yao's illusion. Find Li Yao's true form and kill him."

"Ah!!!" Kato Dan exclaimed nervously within the Third Hokage's consciousness, "Isn't this bad? Ayase-senpai is, after all,..."

A spirit can sense the body that is being leaned over. If he were to lean over Ayase-senpai, then Ayase-senpai's body would be completely visible to him.

This is the Hokage's daughter-in-law, so Kato Dan didn't dare to lean on Ayase-senpai and instinctively wanted to refuse.

"What time is it? Why are you still worrying about these things?" the third generation said angrily. His daughter-in-law had never thought of leaving alive after coming here, so she didn't care about such a trivial matter as her body being seen naked.

Besides, she had already been beaten countless times by that bastard Li Yao, inside and out, so she was just checking how her body was.

The three generations still harbored resentment towards their daughter-in-law at this time.

"Understood." Kato Danmi Sandai spoke seriously, knowing he was being pretentious; killing Li Yao was the most important thing now.

The Third Generation Lord was clearly being restrained by Li Yao, and continuing the fight would indeed easily become a breakthrough point.

Kato Dan immediately transferred his spirit body and possessed Ayase.

"We must kill Li Yao." The third generation looked at his daughter-in-law with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Hmm." The married woman, Ayase, nodded expressionlessly, and conjured a large ink-wash bird that flew towards Li Yao's main body.

With Kato Dan's reminder, Sarutobi Tsukiishi took the lead and ran towards Li Yao.

The third generation turned and ran towards a corner of the barrier.

Without Kato's spirit body possessing him, he is now in great danger. If he encounters Li Yaoying's clone, he may not be able to withstand Li Yao's illusion.

"Dust Release - Particle Style: Detachment Technique".

High in the sky, Onoki clasped his hands together in the air and released a cylindrical dust blast through the black prison earth, shooting towards Li Yaoying's clone.

call out!

It's sizzling!

Li Yaoying's clone dodged ahead of time.

Hiss... The Dust Release cylinder shot into the ground and exploded, silently creating a smooth, circular crater within a radius of a hundred meters.

At this moment, Li Yaoying's clone had already hidden a hundred meters away.

"What a powerful Dust Release technique!"

Li Yaoying's clone sensed the attack power and confirmed that it could not withstand the attack of Dust Escape.

"hateful!"

"Just as slippery as that Third Raikage!"

High in the sky, the Third Hokage used Wind Release to deal with the Lightning Release attack of another Li Yaoying clone, while secretly cursing as he watched the Li Yaoying clone dodge the Dust Release.

Li Yaoying's clones are like a replica of the Third Raikage, always dodging his Dust Release attacks in advance thanks to their keen senses and super speed.

To defeat Li Yaoying's clone, the only option is to use a Dust Release technique with an extremely large range.

However, once he uses Dust Release with an extremely large range, his chakra will be almost depleted, and he will be unable to use Dust Release anymore.

It's still early, the barrier hasn't expired yet, so it can't be used.

Having made up his mind, Onoki began to conserve his chakra, resisting Li Yaoying's clones while trying to get as close as possible to Li Yao's main body.

"Magnetic Release - Iron Sand Storm!"

Seeing that ordinary iron sand ninjutsu could not attack Li Yao's shadow clone, which was moving at great speed and could be blocked by ink ninjutsu, the Third Kazekage changed tactics. He formed hand seals and gathered a large amount of chakra. Instantly, iron sand blew towards Li Yao like a sandstorm, covering a huge iron sand storm that covered a kilometer in front of him. Li Yao had no way to dodge.

"Ink-wash mimicry - an oversized sphere".

A ten-meter-diameter ink-colored sphere enveloped Li Yaoying's clone, preventing it from being approached by the iron sand. At the same time, he manipulated black iron chains to pass through the ground and attack the Third Kazekage.

"Iron Sand Binding!"

While nimbly dodging the attacks of the black iron chains in the sky, the Third Kazekage manipulated a large amount of iron sand to envelop Li Yao's ink sphere, and then increased the squeezing force to try to flatten Li Yao.

However, it was unsuccessful; Li Yao had gathered a large amount of ink to reinforce it.

Seeing this, the Third Kazekage frowned, did not increase his chakra further, but instead solidified the encased iron sand and flew towards Li Yao's main body.

"Water Release: Air Explosion Technique".

On the Mizukage's side, facing the agile Li Yaoying clone, the Third Mizukage manipulated a portion of the black water to invade the ground, instantly spreading to a radius of one kilometer, with countless black bubbles the size of human heads rising from the ground.

Boom! Boom! These black bubbles, like detonators, explode the moment they get close to Li Yaoying's clone.

Li Yaoying's clones moved through these exploding bubbles, focusing intently on sensing the Third Mizukage's black water attacks.

With the combined defense of the Lightning Release Chakra Armor and the Black Iron Feather Robe, the attack of the exploding black water bubbles had no effect on Li Yaoying's clone.

On the contrary, the black water attack that slowed down Li Yaoying's clones by using the shockwave from the bubble explosion was the most deadly.

Once entangled by the Third Mizukage's black water, the immense pressure combined with the black water's immunity to fire-style attacks...

Even though Li Yaoying's clone wouldn't die because of the Lightning Release Armor and Black Iron Feather Robe, its body would be immobilized, making it unable to stop the Third Mizukage from finding the main body.

Fortunately, Li Yaoying's clones were fast enough and had enough chakra, allowing them to hold off the Third Mizukage for a few more minutes.

As the Hokage withdrew, the Mizukage and Tukage were held back, and the Kazekage broke free from Li Yao's shadow clone, the Third Raikage had already arrived in front of Li Yao.

Clang clang clang... As Li Yao activated his Lightning Release Armor and Black Iron Feather Robe, countless black iron chains shot out from around his body, resembling a hedgehog, causing the Third Raikage, who had come to stand in front of Li Yao, to stop instantly.

Li Yao dared not gamble on whether the obviously stronger Third Raikage's attack could break through his defense.

Even the Third Raikage dared not gamble on his ability to break free from Li Yao's black iron chains.

His One-Handed Strike was powerful enough to cut through Li Yao's black iron chains, but the Lightning Release Chakra Armor couldn't cut through them.

Once bound by dense black iron chains, there is a risk of death.

"If you don't go, I will!"

Li Yao pushed off forcefully, shooting off the back of the ink-wash eagle and thrusting his sword towards the Third Raikage.

"call out!"

The Third Raikage dodged, but he didn't even take the hit. Instead, he dodged Li Yao's attack and flew to the side. Looking at the somewhat bewildered Li Yao, he felt that his vague suspicions might actually be true.

If it's true... then what are the conditions for Li Yaoshun to learn ninjutsu?

Was it contact?

Chakra contact or physical contact?

The Third Raikage pondered for a moment, watching Li Yao land on the ground, without making any further moves.

"Has this guy... sensed something?"

Li Yao frowned slightly at this moment. He hadn't expected that the Third Raikage wouldn't confront him head-on.

If the Third Raikage really notices something, then this will be a real problem.
