Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 251 Three Minutes

Chiyo trusted her younger brother's judgment.

However, just as she was about to agree with her brother's judgment and order everyone to evacuate to the shelter.

call out!

Li Yao, clad in the Flowing Wind Armor, arrived with his Wind Escape clone, instantly appearing atop the Wind Shadow Building from a hundred meters away.

Li Yao's wind-escape clone quickly said, "Lady Chiyo, I have a ninjutsu that can defeat that enemy in the air, but it takes time to cast."

"Really?" Chiyo's eyes lit up as she intercepted the clay birds in the air while asking Li Yao's wind-escape clone.

"Hmm." Li Yaofeng nodded solemnly, using his clone to escape.

"How long?" Chiyo asked directly. If they could really defeat that mysterious clay explosion ninja in the air, they absolutely could not hide in the shelter.

Otherwise, faced with the attack of a mysterious clay explosion ninja, everyone in Sunagakure would have to hide in shelters to survive, and how could they explain that to the villagers in those shelters?

What's the difference between this and surrendering outright?

Therefore, if possible, Sunagakure must not allow this humiliating scene to occur in their hands.

"Three minutes," Li Yaofeng's clone gave a somber timeframe.

Chiyo, Ebizo, and all the surviving Jonin felt a sinking feeling in their hearts as they faced the three minutes that had passed.

They were already barely holding on after five minutes, and you want another three minutes?

"Okay, three minutes is fine. You can relax and get ready. Leave the rest to me."

Just as everyone was silent, Chiyo, though a woman, had a decisiveness that men shouldn't have, and spoke up resolutely.

As soon as she spoke, the others' expressions hardened, and they said, "Feng Xing, prepare your ninjutsu, but we will not let a single clay bird fly in within three minutes."

"Okay." Li Yaofeng used his clone to escape without saying much. He immediately spread his legs and squatted down slightly, clasped his hands together, and extended his index and middle fingers together.

He then closed his eyes and focused on gathering the Wind Release: Slash Chakra, a bloodline limit level chakra, at the fingertips of his sword fingers, continuously compressing it.

hum!

In an instant, Chiyo and the others felt as if they could hear steel being compressed, and a shiver involuntarily arose in their hearts.

At that moment, a sense of confidence rose in everyone's hearts.

Such powerful Wind Release chakra requires three minutes to compress.

Li Yao's Wind Release clone's Wind Release ninjutsu must be incredibly powerful.

Perhaps we really can defeat that terrifying enemy in the sky.

At that moment, Chiyo and the others saw a glimmer of hope for victory and did everything in their power to intercept the clay birds in the sky.

Li Yao in the air seemed to have noticed the anomaly and placed more clay birds there.

Only when Chiyo and the others are driven to the brink of despair does Li Yaofeng's ability to turn the tide through his clone become all the more precious.

Boom boom boom... The sound of violent explosions echoed throughout Sunagakure.

At this time, there is a special prison on the northeastern side of Sunagakure Village.

This prison holds only one person.

This person is not a criminal yet.

His name is Bunpuku, the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure.

Because of the villagers' fear and the risks of Yiwei going berserk, Fenfu willingly imprisoned himself and rarely came out.

Before he knew it, he had spent more than a decade in prison.

There was quite a commotion in the village today.

The village had never suffered such a large-scale attack during World War II.

Unfortunately... there's nothing he can do to help!

At this moment, in the consciousness space of Fenfu, a Shukaku is emitting a sharp cry.

"Die, die, all of you die!"

"Fenfu, did you hear that? The sound of a human dying is so beautiful."

"Let me out, you good fortune. I'll kill everyone, including those who attacked your village!"

Faced with Shukaku's rampage, Bunpuku firmly suppressed Shukaku's chakra, remaining calm and composed, and said, "I believe in my comrades; they will drive the enemy away."

No matter how much Shukaku provoked him, Bunpuku remained unmoved, sitting calmly in the prison, focusing on suppressing Shukaku's violent tendencies.

At this moment, outside...

The sound of the explosion was concentrated above the Fengying Building, and the resulting black smoke completely covered the sky, looking from a distance like a thick black cloud with flashes of fire and lightning.

Chiyo, Ebizo, and even the reluctant advisor elder Watanabe were all doing their best to defend Li Yaofeng's clone against the clay birds flying in the air.

Watanabe was scared.

He feared that if he deliberately released clay birds to attack Li Yao's wind-escape clone, Li Yao's wind-escape clone would also deliberately pretend to lose control and throw the wind-escape ninjutsu in its hand at him.

There's no doubt that if he really dared to release Li Yaofeng's Water Yin Escape clone, then Li Yaofeng's Water Yin Escape clone might actually kill him by accident.

Because the wind-escape slash that Li Yao's wind-escape clone was currently wielding was too terrifying.

Clang clang... It was as if countless slashing sounds converged on the fingertips of Li Yao's wind-escape clone.

The terrifying chakra fluctuations and the sharpness that could cut through anything made Chiyo and the others who were close to Li Yao's wind-escape clone feel as if their bodies and minds were being torn apart.

"What powerful Wind Release ninjutsu!!!"

Chiyo glanced at the transparent sphere of wind-escape technique on Li Yao's wind-escape clone's fingertip, where sharp white threads occasionally flashed, and was deeply shocked.

She had only sensed this terrifying chakra fluctuation when Onoki released Dust Release.

"Could it be that Feng Xing actually upgraded his unique Wind Release slashing ninjutsu to the Kekkei Tota level?!"

"If that's true, then... what a blessing for Sunagakure!"

Chiyo wore a happy expression as she manipulated the puppet.

As a Kage-level shinobi in Sunagakure, having experienced both World War I and World War II, she knew very well how incredible it was to raise a single attribute chakra to the level of Kekkei Tota.

It could even be said that a single-attribute chakra at the bloodline limit is countless times more difficult than a true bloodline limit ninjutsu.

In the long history of the ninja world, there are many bloodline limit ninjutsu, but there are very few single-attribute chakra ninjutsu at the bloodline limit level.

Prior to this, there were only the Third Raikage's Black Lightning Technique and the Third Tsuchikage's Super Heavy Rock Technique.

Then came the White Lightning of Konoha's White Fang.

Finally, there's the Wind Release: Slash.

This shows how difficult it is to raise a single attribute of chakra to a level comparable to bloodline limit chakra.

Not to mention taking it a step further to reach the level of bloodline elimination.

Throughout the entire history of the ninja world, Chiyo knew of only one bloodline limit: Dust Release.

Now, Fengxing has actually developed a single wind-style ninjutsu that is comparable to the level of Kekkei Tota!

Chiyo couldn't think of any other word to describe it besides "lucky".

At the same time, she was completely convinced that her Wind Release ninjutsu, which was comparable to the level of Kekkei Tota, would definitely be able to defeat the enemy in the air with a terrifying amount of chakra.

In the blink of an eye.

Three minutes have passed.

"It's done."

Li Yao's Wind Release clone stood up straight, a successful smile on his face. At the tips of his two fingers, a white, transparent sphere, about the size of a billiard ball, no longer emitted terrifying chakra fluctuations and looked rather ordinary.

But it was precisely this unremarkable and seemingly harmless appearance that instilled fear in Chiyo and the others.

Looking at the white, transparent sphere on the fingertip of Li Yaofeng's clone, Chiyo and the others felt a sudden sense of panic, as if their hearts were being gripped in someone's hand, and their lives were out of their own hands.

In an instant, Chiyo and the others understood.

If the white, transparent sphere in Li Yao's Wind Release clone's hand were to explode at this moment, everyone here would instantly dissipate and die. No ninjutsu could withstand the attack of this white, transparent sphere.

Chiyo had only ever experienced this kind of ninjutsu, where anyone within its attack range was guaranteed to die, with Onoki's Dust Release.

"As expected, it truly lives up to its reputation as a Wind Release ninjutsu comparable to a Bloodline Limit Break!"

Chiyo was secretly excited. In this way, Sunagakure would also have a bloodline limit ninjutsu that could be passed down through generations.

This is equivalent to Sunagakure gaining another Kage-level powerhouse's legacy.

Anyone who can learn Wind Release: Wind Walk, a ninjutsu comparable to Bloodline Limit, will inevitably become a Kage-level powerhouse, even among Kage-level ninjas.

This is a powerful ninjutsu that can ensure Sunagakure's long-standing dominance at the top of the ninja world.

How could Chiyo not be happy?

Before Chiyo could be happy for even a second longer, she saw her family junior, Watanabe, subconsciously take several steps back, his face pale as he stared at the white, transparent sphere in Li Yaofeng's clone's hand.

Clearly, Watanabe, whose life and death were not in his own hands, had a guilty conscience and his body instinctively moved away from Li Yaofeng's clone.

This instantly turned Chiyo's happy mood into unhappiness.

She had no choice but to accept such a foolish junior.

The allure of political struggle lies in compromise and exchange; in compromise, interests are exchanged, and in the exchange of interests, compromises are reached.

How can you go straight to a life-or-death situation without any room for maneuver?

"Fortunately, a mysterious clay explosion enemy appeared, preventing these idiots from carrying out their assassination attempt. There's still hope."

Chiyo secretly rejoiced, while glaring fiercely at her junior. She then manipulated a puppet to come down and stand in front of Li Yaofeng's clone.

"Get on, and I'll control the puppet to get you as close as possible to the enemies in the air."

"No need, I can sense the enemy's location now, and my attack range is fine."

Li Yaofeng's clone shook his head, then his gaze sharpened, and he said, "Lady Chiyo, do not appear in front of or above me. This disaster will end soon."

"Okay," Chiyo replied.

Everyone withdrew from the position in front of Li Yao's Wind Release clone, splitting up on the left and right sides, using the last of their chakra to cover Li Yao's Wind Release clone.
