Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

But just then, a stream of water the size of a thumb shot towards him, and Onoki instantly felt a chill run down his spine and quickly dodged.

At the critical moment, he once again escaped death thanks to his keen sense of danger and excellent reflexes, avoiding having his neck cut off. However, his beard was not so lucky; it was severed after being swept away by the water.

"Lord Tsuchikage, please do not disturb them."

A young voice then appeared in the Great Wild Wood Ear.

Upon hearing the sound, Onoki immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young Konoha ninja flying dozens of meters away in the air, relying on a pair of chakra wings.

Almost simultaneously, four black rods were inserted into the ground in four directions around Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and then quickly formed a sealing barrier made of purple flames.

Sealing Technique: Four Purple Flame Array

"It's you, Kirito Tohsaka."

When Onoki saw the young ninja, he was shocked, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"It is truly an honor that Lord Tsuchikage recognized me at a glance."

Kirito said with a grin.

After defeating the Third Raikage, Kirito's flesh puppet was freed up to go to other battlefields to provide support. Now that he had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could instantly arrive at this battlefield to provide support by relying on the Flying Thunder God mark left on the White Zetsu clone.

The person currently plundering the Tailed Beast chakra from the Five-Tails Jinchuriki is none other than a White Zetsu clone.

The White Zetsu clone that Onoki just killed was actually just a spore clone created by a White Zetsu clone using the Spore Technique.

Meanwhile, the real White Zetsu clone secretly cooperated with three Konoha ninja who mastered the modified Adamantine Sealing Technique to capture the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Damn it, are you planning to steal our Iwagakure's tailed beasts and start a full-scale war against Iwagakure?"

Onoki shouted, trying to intimidate Konoha into abandoning its plan to seize the Tailed Beasts.

When Kirito heard Onoki still spouting such nonsense at this point, his smile vanished instantly, and he said coldly, "What? So only Iwagakure can plot against Konoha from behind, but Konoha isn't allowed to fight back? Onoki, I only address you as Tsuchikage because you're a senior, but don't think I'm afraid of you or Iwagakure. If Iwagakure dares to launch a full-scale war against Konoha, I'll wipe you out."

"Insanity!"

Upon hearing Kirito's boast that he would destroy Iwagakure, Onoki instantly flew into a rage, unleashing a powerful burst of chakra and once again unleashing Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique without hand seals.

In an instant, the air quality around Kirito improved dozens of times.

However, Kirito seemed completely unaffected, still flying steadily in the air, as if he were not affected by gravity at all.

"how so!"

Ohnoki was shocked when he saw this.

But a blinding purple beam of light shot out from one of Kirito's fingers toward him. The speed of the purple light was so fast that he instantly realized he couldn't dodge it and could only quickly use Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall to seal it.

Onoki clapped his hands, and twelve thick earthen walls instantly appeared in mid-air, blocking his way.

However, the twelve thick earthen walls were no match for the speed of the purple light, which was instantly pierced through, ultimately slicing off a piece of flesh from Onoki's left arm.

Storm Release: Flash Finger!

"As expected of the Tsuchikage, his reaction is quick. He used Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique to create a gravity field that temporarily distorted the surrounding space, causing my Storm Release ninjutsu's flash gun to deviate from its range."

Then, Kirito's voice appeared once again.

Along with it came two purple beams of light.

Onoki wanted to dodge, but he was powerless and could only watch helplessly as two beams of light pierced through his right hand and left leg.

"We cannot fight him in the air."

Onoki keenly realized this and quickly rushed towards the ground.

At the same time, he quickly formed hand seals and used Earth Release: Rock Clone Technique to create a rock clone in one go.

Seeing this, Kirito used his Spirit Transformation Technique to continue locking onto Onoki's main body and continued to use Storm Release: Flash Finger to kill Onoki. As a result, Onoki became wary and used his Rock Clone Technique to use Rock Body Flicker Technique to dodge the attack.

On the battlefield, Kirito's enemies were not limited to Onoki. After Onoki was injured, a large number of Iwa ninjas immediately shifted their attack to Kirito, and a large number of sharp flying stones formed by Earth Release: Rock Gun Technique were shot at Kirito.

Faced with such a dense barrage of flying rocks, Kirito had to distract himself to dodge, which gave Onoki a chance to catch his breath, allowing him to land safely on the ground and quickly receive treatment from a medical ninja.

"Enough! Get away from me! It's dangerous here."

After Onoki's wound stopped bleeding, he immediately urged the medical ninja beside him to leave quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the medical ninja next to him, thus avoiding an attack from a blue lightning spear.

However, he only allowed this person to survive for a fraction of a second longer before another lightning spear struck, electrocuting the medical ninja to death.

The lightning spears were still falling.

Before anyone knew it, a huge thundercloud had appeared in the sky above the battlefield, and massive lightning spears were being released from it. Kirito was right below it, and countless lightning spears fell around him, but none of them harmed him.

Clearly, this enormous, abnormally formed thundercloud was his doing.

Lightning Release: Thundercloud!

This is Kirito's latest Lightning Release ninjutsu. The principle is to use Lightning Release to attract static electricity from nature and inject it into clouds formed by Water Release to create thunderclouds.

This is a powerful lightning-style ninjutsu that draws upon the power of nature.

A barrage of lightning spears rained down, and under Kirito's precise control, they killed one by one the Iwa ninjas who attacked him on the ground. Whether they were genin or jonin, none could escape his thunderous judgment.

In an instant, Kirito was like Thor, bringing divine punishment upon the enemy, which terrified countless Iwa ninja and greatly boosted the morale of the Konoha and Amegakure allied forces.

Suddenly, a huge white beam of light shot out from the ground, and a huge hole appeared in the massive thundercloud in the sky, which then shattered into pieces.

The attack by the Thunder Spear was thus contained.

"Where did this guy go? His chakra has disappeared. Could he have been destroyed by my Dust Release? Impossible. This guy couldn't have been destroyed by me so easily."

On the ground, Onoki stared intently at the pierced thunderclouds in the sky, trying to find Kirito's footprints while simultaneously expanding his senses to prevent being attacked by Kirito.

He quickly sensed the impending crisis.

Suddenly, numerous thumb-sized water ropes sprouted from the wet ground around him, attempting to bind him.

This is Water Release: Water Whip!

Onoki dodged repeatedly and swung his kunai, unleashing a series of sharp chakra slashes.

"I didn't expect Lord Tsuchikage to be such a skilled swordsman."

Kirito's voice appeared again.

Then, a Kirito formed from a large amount of accumulated water appeared in front of Onoki.

Water Release: Water Clone Technique!

"Kirito Tohsaka, you just show up here like this? Aren't you afraid that guy will come to Konoha for revenge? You can still leave now. As long as you start targeting the Five-Tails, we Iwagakure will choose to retreat this time."

Onoki said to Kirito with a gloomy expression.

Kirito Tohsaka's appearance undoubtedly cast a huge shadow over the battle between Iwagakure and Konoha. Even though Iwagakure still has a huge advantage in numbers, the balance of victory has begun to shift in Konoha's favor.

Onoki understood this very well, because one Kirito Tohsaka was worth thousands of ninjas, and that was based on Chunin, not just Genin who were merely cannon fodder.

"Lord Tsuchikage, the reason you gave me to withdraw from this battle is the same as that given to the Third Raikage before. I'm sorry to trouble you with this. Konoha has its own way of dealing with any enemy. Even without me, Konoha will not be destroyed by that person."

Kirito sneered.

These words struck Onoki like a thunderclap.

His reasoning was the same as the Third Raikage's!

Does that mean Kirito Tohsaka had already fought the Third Raikage before?

How is the Third Raikage doing now?

Is he dead or alive, or has he been captured?

In an instant, countless doubts arose in Onoki's mind, making him feel increasingly worse, especially when he thought of Kirito appearing unharmed, which made his heart race with anxiety.

His biggest worry right now is the situation of the Third Raikage.

He now desperately hopes that the Third Raikage will escape from Kirito Tohsaka instead of dying at Kirito's hands.

"Don't worry, the Third Raikage is not dead. He's having tea in Konoha right now, and he might have already signed a ceasefire agreement with us."

Kirito once again uttered something astonishing, causing Onoki's heart to explode.

"Impossible. How could you possibly capture that guy? Knowing his personality, he would rather die than be captured."

Onoki said with a look of disbelief.

"Believe it or not, to be honest, if I hadn't been a little exhausted from fighting the Third Raikage just now, I might have invited you, Tsuchikage, to our Konoha for tea."

Kirito said nonchalantly.

Kirito's confident and smug tone made Onoki's face grow even uglier. He cursed the damned guy in his heart: "What the hell is that bastard doing? Isn't he going to make a move yet?"

At this moment, Onoki was already somewhat regretting cooperating with the villain Uchiha Madara, and also regretting his overconfidence in believing that the combined power of Kumogakure and Uchiha Madara could destroy Konoha.

As it turns out, 1 + 1 + 1 does not equal 3 if allies are not of one mind.

While Kirito and Onoki were idly stalling for time, the battle between the White Zetsu clone and Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, was gradually coming to an end within the sealing barrier formed by the Four Purple Flames Formation.

Han was still bound by the Adamantine Lock by three Konoha ninjas who were proficient in sealing techniques, but he had entered the tailed beast transformation stage, with four tails appearing behind him and going berserk. Control of his body fell into the hands of the Five-Tails, Kokuo.

However, he was still unable to break free from the restraints under the suppression of the three blue chakra chains formed by the Vajra Seal.

"Damn humans, damn clones, you will all die a horrible death."

King Mu, using Han's body as a shield, roared in resentment.

It is a chakra being; chakra is its life and flesh. Now, most of its chakra has been taken away by this despicable person in front of it and the hateful traitor within it. If this continues, it will be replaced by a clone.

"King Mu, now that things have come to this, you should stop struggling. You have only merged with another version of yourself; you are still you in essence."

Upon hearing King Mu's furious roar, Bai Jue's clone chuckled.

The plan to seize the Five-Tails went very smoothly. After the three Konoha ninjas successfully used the Adamantine Sealing Technique on Han, with the help of the traitorous Five-Tails inside him, he easily stole a large amount of chakra from Muwang's body.

Although a tug-of-war was inevitable in the process, Mu Wang was suppressed by the Vajra Seal and could not exert his full power. He could only watch helplessly as his chakra was taken away by the traitor's clone.

"That's absolutely right, my true self. We were originally one, it's just that our consciousnesses are being transferred now. Don't worry, I'll live well for you. Just go on your journey in peace, hahaha~"

The traitorous Five-Tails manifested a miniature clone on the shoulder of the White Zetsu clone and said smugly.

"You deserve to die, the old man will not let you get away with this."

King Mu trembled with rage at the sight of the traitor's smug clone.

"Hmph, don't try to scare me with some old guy who's been dead for who knows how many years. I am you, do you think I don't know what that old man's situation is like?"
