Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 290 Earth Release: Bloodline Elimination - Mass Technique

"ah……"

Suddenly realizing that all eyes were on her, Tsunade shoved away her Lightning Release clone, White Fang, and ran away with a shy expression, leaving behind only the words, "Don't die."

Lightning Release Clone - White Fang stood in place, savoring the lingering fragrance of the large, soft cow. Sure enough, big, soft things smelled good.

In the future, when we interact, we can have the third-generation dog watching from the side. I wonder if it will get excited.

Thinking of that scene, Lightning Release clone - White Fang smiled inwardly, then turned around and returned to his original position.

Along the way, people, whether they knew him or not, greeted the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, warmly.

"Congratulations, Lord Zuoyun."

"It seems we'll be able to enjoy the wedding feast of the two esteemed gentlemen soon."

Lightning Release clone - White Fang simply responded with a smile, without giving a definite answer, and no one cared.

This commotion greatly eased the tension before heading to the battlefield.

A short while later, the third generation arrived. After assigning their respective team members, they exchanged a few pleasantries and then set off on their own.

As expected, Kakashi was not in his father's group, but went to the Cloud Village front where the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze was located, along with Obito and Rin.

Lightning Release clone - White Fang glanced at Obito's departing figure.

The gears of fate have begun to turn; Kamui's Sharingan, awaken quickly!

Li Yao couldn't wait to destroy everything.

……

Hidden Rocks.

The morning sunlight carried a slight chill, just like the hearts of most people in the village at that moment—a chill that lingered, a sense of unease.

Hui Tu walked down the street, as usual, to buy breakfast for his junior apprentice.

The streets, which would normally be bustling with people at this time of year, appear rather desolate now.

The Third Shinobi World War has been going on for almost two years now.

This war was even more brutal. Half a year ago, even children who were still in the Ninja Academy went to the battlefield. Everyone in the village who could go to the battlefield went to the battlefield. Even Haito's father, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, spent most of his time on the battlefield, only returning occasionally to deal with matters on various fronts.

"Look, Gray Earth is bringing lunch for her little lover again!"

"I really don't know what the Tsuchikage was thinking. Why would he take someone so afraid of death as a disciple?"

"He's not even as good as my five-year-old son."

"Exactly! Even if they don't dare go to the battlefield, they could at least guard the gate! What kind of people are they, hiding in caves all day practicing ninjutsu?!"

"He's supposed to be the Tsuchikage's disciple, a Jonin, and he gets paid a Jonin salary by the village every month, yet he doesn't dare do anything and just freeloads. Doesn't he have any shame at all?!"

Along the way, he endured the unpleasant rumors and insults, and silently suffered the scorn and abuse of others.

She knew how much pressure the village had endured and how many people had died in the past six months, and she understood the psychological pressure on those who remained in the village. It would be better for them to vent their anger and frustration.

"But... Junior brother, you have to be more proactive and finish your ninjutsu training quickly, otherwise I won't be able to hold on much longer."

Ash was heartbroken. As the daughter of the Tsuchikage, she loved the village just as much. If her junior brother's new ninjutsu couldn't be completed, she would also have to go to the battlefield to fight for the village.

She couldn't let her father and brothers continue to bear such heavy pressure.

Upon arriving at the breakfast shop, the owner, who already knew Hui Tu, asked her if she was the same as before, and Hui Tu nodded in agreement.

A short while later, carrying cooked corn and a large bowl of takeout ramen, Hui Tu returned to a small hill on the outskirts of the village.

"Um……"

As soon as they arrived at the small hill, a powerful gravitational force emanated from the cave where their junior brother was, pulling Hui Tu's body unconsciously into the cave.

"Could it be..." A hint of surprise flashed in Gray Earth's eyes, but before she could speak, the gravitational pull from the cave entrance suddenly increased.

With a creak, the rock walls around the cave suddenly cracked open, and it was as if a black hole had suddenly appeared inside the cave, violently sucking all the surrounding rocks in.

Bang! Bang! The shattered rocks collided and squeezed together, forming a huge spherical rock.

"not good!"

Hui Tu's face turned pale as she was sucked in too, and at a very fast speed. She had no time to react and had no way to react.

Under that powerful gravitational pull, she couldn't even form hand seals.

Just as his entire body was about to crash into the rock, the gravity suddenly disappeared, allowing Hui Tu to flip over and brace himself against the rock with his feet, preventing a close collision.

"Small……"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a large hole suddenly opened up above the gathered rocks, and a figure flew out from it, instantly breaking the speed of sound and leaving several white rings of air as he soared into the sky.

Bang bang bang!

Loud explosions erupted in the air from time to time, causing the ANBU ninjas on duty in the village to think that the enemy was attacking. Their expressions changed drastically as they searched for the source of the sound and also urgently notified the villagers to take emergency evacuation measures.

The village was thrown into chaos.

High in the sky, the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, who had flown around several times, stopped, stood in the air, and burst into laughter.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"Finally finished!"

"Earth Release: Mass Technique!"

Feeling my body right now, it's as if it were forged from steel, thick and tough. This defensive power, this sense of strength, is so mesmerizing.

As expected of an upgraded version of the Super-Heavy Rock Technique, it not only grants the body an enormous imaginary mass, but also, along with that imaginary mass, the imaginary density that matter should possess.

In other words, at this moment, the Earth Release clone - Ishii's body was endowed with an imaginary mass of 10,000 tons, and the imaginary material density that should be presented by the condensation of this 10,000 tons of mass in the small body of the Earth Release clone - Ishii was also manifested in his body.

Although his physical density did not actually change, the chakra of Earth Release: Mass Technique gave his body a material density of 10,000 tons, making his body terrifyingly hard, like a superhuman body of steel.

Even if the physical body breaks the sound barrier in the air, there is no discomfort. It is like a gentle breeze on the face. There is no need to close the eyelids. The membrane on the eyeball can withstand the tearing sensation of air caused by breaking the sound barrier.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying the physical defense of the Earth Release clone - Rock would be if given a body with an imaginary density of 10,000 tons.

The Earth Release clone, Ishii, had the illusion that he could withstand a Tailed Beast Ball with his bare body.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"Now I can personally take down the Third Raikage!"

After marveling at the power of the new Earth Release ninjutsu, the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, flashed a cold light in its eyes and flew downwards.

Of the five clones, only the Water Release clone is not yet complete.

But that's about it. Obito has already gone to the battlefield, and the Third Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage should be dealt with soon.

"Miss Gray Soil..."

The ANBU who stayed behind in the village were the first to find the place where the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan, was training. Looking at the pile of rocks on the mountaintop that was attracted and gathered by the huge gravity, and then at the gray soil next to it, the ANBU were just about to ask what was going on.

The gray dust, which had been looking up, suddenly smiled and said, "Finally, you've decided to come back."

Several secret agents looked up upon hearing this, and a figure quickly descended.

*Thud...* *Squeak!*

The moment his Earth Release clone landed on the rock, the ground cracked open. If he hadn't removed the imaginary mass he had been given in time, he would have been plunged into the bottom of the mountain.

"Ishii... Lord!"

As the dust settled, the ANBU members saw that it was Shi Yan, this cowardly pretty boy. They were about to scold him, but the powerful chakra emanating from Shi Yan's Earth Release clone instantly transformed their attitude into respect.
