Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 157 Ayase's Deadly Move

"Onoki... what's that guy waiting for?"

Li Yao frowned. Ōnoki had only used Dust Release once so far. After failing to kill his Shadow Clones, he hadn't used it again, and in subsequent battles, he had been trying to conserve chakra as much as possible.

It seems... there's no rush to get to his main body, what are they waiting for?

"What are you waiting for...?"

Li Yao frowned in thought. With Onoki's strength, if he were to use a wide-range attack... Hmm, wait a minute.

Li Yao suddenly looked up. Even though his vision was blocked by Wood Release, he still looked at Onoki and his expression changed drastically: "This guy is saving his chakra to give himself a big one."

Thinking of Onoki's massive Dust Release in the anime, which annihilated Madara Uchiha's twenty-five incomplete Susanoo forms in one strike.

Faced with such a wide-ranging Dust Release attack, and with his physical body locked onto by that Konoha ninja, he had no way to avoid it.

"But... why isn't Onoki using his ultimate skill now?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Yao's eyes, but he quickly resolved it himself.

"Chakra!"

"Once he unleashes his full power, Onoki will definitely have very little chakra left."

"At that time, he will be in great danger if the other Shadows have any ideas while he is trapped inside the barrier."

"So... Onoki is waiting for the barrier to disappear."

That must be it. Only after the barrier disappears and is no longer bound by it, can Onoki escape using his flying ability after unleashing his ultimate skill. If all else fails, he can also retreat unscathed under the protection of the guards outside the barrier.

The more Li Yao thought about it, the more certain he became that Onoki was waiting for the barrier to disappear.

"My time is running out."

Li Yao thought to himself that he didn't know when the barrier would disappear, but it certainly wouldn't be long. Even the scroll made by Mito Uzumaki couldn't maintain such a high-quality barrier for long.

There's no escaping it.

The only option now is to wear armor.

Li Yao's eyes flickered as he quickly thought things through.

He had already copied the chakra of the new Lightning Release armor on the Third Raikage.

That was a new chakra form transformation that could materialize chakra. The Third Raikage's Lightning Release armor was able to fly after incorporating this materialized chakra form transformation, which improved its speed and defense.

Li Yao can now also use a materialized Lightning Release chakra mode.

However, the defense is still insufficient.

You also need to be physically strong enough to withstand it.

Thinking of this, Li Yao turned his gaze to the Third Mizukage he sensed. If he could copy the water-based ninjutsu chakra of the Third Mizukage, he might be able to withstand the attack of Dust Release.

"But... how do we attract the water's shadow?"

Li Yao frowned slightly. The Third Raikage seemed to have noticed his ability to copy other people's ninjutsu and was on guard.

If his intentions become too obvious, the Third Raikage will definitely warn the Third Mizukage.

Just as Li Yao was pondering how to lure the Third Mizukage over...

Kato Dan's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he anxiously reminded Ayase in her mind, "Ayase-senpai, Tsukishiro-senpai is about to collapse."

Sarutobi Tsukiishi was very anxious at this moment. He didn't have much time left. If he didn't launch an attack on Li Yao soon, his body would collapse.

But now, he is surrounded by dense, seemingly endless trees, and unless he uses the Evening Elephant spell, he cannot break out of the encirclement.

But once he used the Evening Elephant, even if he rushed in front of Li Yao, he would no longer have the strength to continue attacking and still could not kill Li Yao.

Even without Xi Xiang, he couldn't reach Li Yao and still couldn't kill him.

This is Sarutobi Gekisai's current predicament.

"Thankfully, this guy doesn't seem to know the Night Guy move!"

Li Yao sensed Sarutobi Tsukiishi's anxiety through his chakra perception. Seeing that Sarutobi Tsukiishi's chakra was gradually decreasing but he still seemed helpless, Li Yao knew that Sarutobi Tsukiishi had not yet unleashed his Night Guy ultimate move, which had almost brought the series to a close.

Now, Li Yao felt much more relaxed.

After hearing Kato Dan's words, Ayase, a married woman, sharpened her gaze and asked, "What about the other Kage?"

Kato Dan hesitated for a moment, then said, "They're all entangled by Li Yaoying's clones."

Kato Dan saw that the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was slacking off, but he dared not speak out. Once the conflict was brought into the open, it would be irreversible.

The other shadows didn't slack off, but they couldn't break through Li Yao's defenses.

"As expected, those guys are unreliable."

The married woman, Ayase, shook her head and asked, "Could you hold Li Yao still for even a second?"

She came along not to be a freeloader, of course. She had a sealing technique to seal Li Yao, but she needed to imprison him for at least one second.

"I..." Considering the current situation, he had no choice but to do it. Kato gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely hold Li Yao's body still for one second."

Even if it meant death, he was determined to hold Li Yao in place for a single second.

Kato made a decision in his heart.

"Okay," Ayase said, "Let's hurry over to Moonstone."

call out!

Having reached a consensus, the two stopped entangled with Li Yaoying's clone and flew towards Sarutobi Moonstone with all their might.

Li Yaoying's clone didn't know what use the married woman Ayase would be to the main body, since her ninjutsu couldn't break through his defenses, but he still flew up with all his might to stop her.

However, the direction that the married woman Ayase was heading was the same direction that the main body was in, and Li Yaoying's clone could not stop Ayase from leaving for the time being.

soon.

Ayase, a married woman, arrived above Sarutobi Tsukiishi. Kato Dan, through his spirit form, addressed Sarutobi Tsukiishi, who was entangled by countless large trees below: "Tsukiishi-senpai, do your best to open a passage to Li Yao's main body. Leave the rest to Ayase-senpai and me."

"Okay, I understand," Sarutobi Tsukishiro said.

He knew he had reached his limit, and paving a way for Ayase's sister-in-law was the only thing he could do now.

All that matters is killing Li Yao.

"Follow behind me."

After saying that, Sarutobi Tsukishiro threw a punch, and a white shockwave reappeared, piercing through all the trees along the way.

The tree surrounding Sarutobi Moonstone has found a way in.

Sarutobi Tsukiseki sped forward through the breach, while the married woman Ayase landed and followed closely behind.

"Second speed!"

"Three speeds!"

"Fourth speed!"

"Fifth speed!"

After five punches, Sarutobi Tsukishiro looked at Li Yao, who was a hundred meters away, smiled, and then collapsed.

puff!

Li Yao coughed up a mouthful of blood. Faced with the sudden burst of Sarutobi Moonstone, he had no choice but to withstand it.

At this moment, his black iron feather robe was tattered and his lightning armor was nowhere to be seen.

The attack of the Eight Gates Formation is indeed terrifying.

But he managed to pull through.

And... bang bang bang!

Taking advantage of the moment when his main body was injured, Li Yao had a thought and recalled the shadow clone that was fighting the Mizukage and Raikage.

Without his shadow clones, the Mizukage had no reason not to kill him. Coincidentally, he was injured at this moment, making it a good opportunity to kill him.

Li Yao awaits the arrival of the third generation of Mizukage.

However, before the Third Mizukage arrived, a peculiar chakra figure suddenly entered his body.

"This is……"

Li Yao was shocked. His body was paralyzed at that moment. There was a chakra... no, a soul fighting for control of his body, and even trying to attack his soul.

"How is that possible?!"

At this moment, Kato Dan was also shocked. Li Yao's soul had completely merged with his chakra. He had no way to attack Li Yao's soul, or rather, his attacks could not break through Li Yao's chakra to attack Li Yao's soul.

With no other option, Kato Dan could only do his best to keep Li Yao's body still.

"Li Yao! Die!"

In the instant Li Yao's body froze, the married woman Ayase attacked, her face contorted with hatred and rage, covered in black runes, and her body seemed to be filled with ink, oozing out ink-like liquid.

This is the Super Ink Painting Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique, which was improved by Lady Uzumaki Mito based on her enhanced Super Beast Imitation Painting Ink Painting Sealing Technique combined with the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique.

The sealing range has been increased from a radius of more than ten meters to fifty meters.

This distance is enough. As long as Li Yao's body can be immobilized for even a second, he will have absolutely no chance of escaping.

"Oh no, it's the Inner Four Symbols Seal!"

Some of the ink splattered on Ayase's body had already dripped onto Li Yao's face. He instantly realized that this was the terrifying sealing technique that Danzo used to seal the bridge before his death in the original anime.

*Clang clang...* Li Yao instinctively used the Vajra Lock and Black Iron Chains to devour and imprison the soul within his body.

"really!"

Sensing the sealing and devouring effect of the Vajra Sealing Barrier on his spirit, Kato's broken spirit revealed an expression of understanding. Then, without any more wishful thinking, he instantly burned his soul, unleashing terrifying spiritual chakra to firmly control Li Yao's body and keep him still.
