Ai was a little confused by what she saw, and then the next second, white lightning began to emerge from the ground near the Thunder Spear.

The Fourth Raikage, noticing this, became extremely vigilant; if this area continued to expand, it would not be good news.

The moment this thought crossed their minds, the white lightning, which had been growing slowly, suddenly increased rapidly. In just an instant, the Cloud Village ninjas, including the Fourth Raikage, felt a tingling sensation throughout their bodies.

One by one, they fell to the ground. Of those who entered Amegakure, only Raikage A remained standing. Even so, he had no ability to resist. It wasn't that he was unaffected by the paralysis; he just had a higher resistance and didn't fall down directly.

Ai Mo looked at the mysterious powerhouse in front of him and suddenly felt a sense of despair. This guy was so strong, yet he wasn't in the center. The only possibility was that ninjas from other villages might encounter someone with similar strength.

Thinking of this, Raikage A felt somewhat desperate. It wasn't a question of whether he could win or not, but rather that he didn't even have the chance to fight in the first place. At least on Amegakure's side, no one could withstand such paralysis and fight the enemy.

"Be careful, we'll stop here..."

Gaara directed the Sand Village ninjas to advance slowly. Given the uncertainty of what lay ahead, it was better to proceed cautiously.

Just then, Gaara suddenly noticed that the wind had started to blow around him, and the temperature seemed to be rising, which made Gaara feel a little confused.

But until an attack occurs, no one knows what will happen next!

"what!"

After taking a few more steps, Gaara suddenly heard a scream and instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

All that came into view was a mummified corpse. Before this question could be answered, a huge fireball flew straight toward them!

Upon seeing this, Gaara immediately used sand to block the fireball. However, when the smoke and dust from the attack dissipated, Gaara discovered that the sand he had just used had turned into a crystalline wall with a strange and beautiful appearance.

"This isn't an ordinary fire-style technique; it's a scorching technique that incorporates wind-style elements!"

Chapter 439 should be able to buy enough time.

"what!"

Before Granny Chiyo could finish speaking, another mournful sound rang out. Gaara, who had been turning to look at Granny Chiyo, clearly saw the process of the Sunagakure ninja's death.

The shoes on his feet caught fire due to the high temperature, and when his skin came into contact with the flames, the intense heat evaporated all the moisture from the ninja's body.

"retreat!"

Gaara, noticing this, immediately gave the order. The surrounding temperature was still rising, and it was inevitable that the shoes would catch fire, which would be fatal for the ninjas of Sunagakure.

If this causes heavy losses to the ninjas of Sunagakure, then his position as Kazekage would be a joke.

Upon receiving the order, the Sunagakure ninjas began a slow retreat. Tragically, even so, several Sunagakure ninjas died in the terrifying heat.

Even the retreating Sunagakure ninjas looked severely dehydrated, and even Gaara felt an indescribable weakness.

"What a terrifying Scorching Release technique! It's hundreds of times more terrifying than Yekura's."

Granny Chiyo looked at the building that was gradually melting in the high temperature, her eyes filled with solemnity. Although she did not know the situation in the other ninja villages, she was certain that the situation was not optimistic. She estimated that they would not be able to withstand such high temperatures and continue their advance.

"It's troublesome."

Gaara looked at the terrifying area in front of him and felt speechless. He was only a step away from Amegakure, but the temperature was worlds apart.

The fact that the terrifying heat didn't spread out was enough to demonstrate how terrifying the person behind it was.

Gaara took out a kunai and threw it in. The kunai turned into molten iron and fell to the ground, leaving a black mark.

"I have a feeling that something's not right about what's going on around me!"

Onoki led his team from Iwagakure, advancing slowly. One-third of Iwagakure's ninjas had already entered Amegakure.

So far, they have not encountered any obstacles, and if this continues, they will be the first to reach the central area.

Just as the Iwagakure ninjas were cautiously advancing, gray cubes began to fall from the sky.

"careful!"

Although they didn't know what it was, Onoki still alerted the Iwagakure ninja, as it was essential to remain vigilant when facing the unknown.

However, not everyone could react in time. Before one of the Iwagakure ninjas could even make a move, a gray square shovel landed directly on his head.

The next second, the gray cube entered his body without any reaction. The man collapsed to the ground, while the original gray cube emerged from his abdomen and continued to fall downwards.

The Iwagakure ninja beside him could clearly see a square wound on the top of the man's head, the hole extending to his abdomen.

"Watch out for the gray blocks!"

Although he hadn't observed carefully, Onoki noticed the general situation and immediately said, "Since this thing can kill people, we should just avoid it."

"Lord Tsuchikage, the cube is getting bigger!"

Just as Onoki gave the order, he heard this sound. He subconsciously looked up and saw that the gray cube, which was originally the size of a finger, had grown to the size of a fist, and this change was ongoing.

In other words, if the Iwagakure ninjas continue to advance, there is a high possibility that a block will fall from the sky that could wipe out all of them.

"This attack method is somewhat similar to Dust Release!"

As Onoki looked at the sky, Koto, seeing the square holes left on the ground by the gray cube, spoke with a grim expression.

"Get out first!"

Having been alerted, Onoki looked at the gray cubes in the sky that had grown to the size of heads and immediately gave the order: if it really was Dust Release, then the Iwagakure ninjas would be wiped out.

The ninjas from the five great ninja villages failed to enter Amegakure and all retreated outside the village.

As soon as Onoki from Iwagakure withdrew, he noticed two eagles with chakra-like abilities circling in the sky.

Upon noticing this, Onoki immediately understood that, aside from anything else, the situation in Konoha was not optimistic either.

-----------------

"According to the intelligence we have observed, the entire Amegakure village, except for the central area, is divided into five areas, which correspond to Wood Release, Ice Release, Lightning Release, Scorch Release, and Dust Release respectively."

Aside from the area under the control of Kumogakure, no ninjas have yet entered Amegakure. The Kumogakure ninjas aren't able to advance further, but rather they lack the ability to withdraw!

Outside the area under Konoha's control, Kakashi calmly spoke to Tsunade, saying that this was information obtained by the Anbu, but it was not good news for the alliance of the five great ninja villages.

Let alone entering the center, there's no way we can even get into Amegakure. If we don't find a way to break this deadlock, we might be completely trapped here.

"The areas under the jurisdiction of Kumogakure and Iwagakure are basically unsolvable, but the areas under our jurisdiction, along with Kirigakure and Sunagakure, seem to have a solution for the time being."

Tsunade calmly analyzed the situation. The extremely cold region of Kirigakure was located between Sunagakure and Konoha, while Sunagakure was experiencing intense heat, which directly conflicted with Kirigakure.

If we can find a way to break the balance of non-aggression between them, we might be able to enter Amegakure from Kirigakure.

"Gather the ninjas who can use Fire Release and set this forest on fire!"

After thinking it through, Tsunade immediately gave the order: if the entire area were set on fire, Kirigakure would be surrounded by high temperatures and a sea of ​​fire, which might disrupt the balance.

Moreover, even if it isn't broken, we can wait until all the trees on Konoha's side are burned down before entering from here.

This is the only solution so far.

Upon receiving the order, Nara Shikaku immediately began to arrange the matter. Before long, more than a dozen Sarutobi clan ninjas stood there and began to breathe fire.

The original forest was instantly ignited, and the entire area, filled with flammable trees, turned into a raging inferno within minutes.

"Continue to observe, and report immediately if any changes are found in the area under Kirigakure's jurisdiction!"

Tsunade turned to look at the ANBU ninja beside her. If Kirigakure remained unaffected, they would have to wait until the fire was under control before they could put it out.

Thick black smoke, carrying intense heat, rose into the sky. Hongzhi stood on the edge of the tower, looking at the burning forest, a slight smile playing on his lips. After his shadow clone had altered the area to a certain state, it stopped further changing the properties of the natural energy.

Otherwise, we would see more and more trees burning, but that scene would be too hopeless, so we still need to give the five great ninja villages some hope.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be awkward if Obito Uchiha appeared without any opponents?

"These changes in terrain should buy enough time; the rest is up to the Akatsuki."

Hongzhi looked up at the sky and the drastically changing temperature, muttering to himself.

Chapter 440 Everyone Get Ready

The high temperatures in the area controlled by Sunagakure and the low temperatures in the area controlled by Kirigakure were originally able to maintain a balance.

But the flames burning in Konoha now are enough to break this balance. When the intense heat rises into the air, rain will fall, and the balance will completely collapse.

This should be enough time for the Akatsuki to seal the Nine-Tails. The fire set by Konoha alone might not be able to be extinguished in three days.

Outside the area under Kirigakure's jurisdiction, Mei Terumi wasn't idle all this time. She directly ordered the Kirigakure ninjas to demolish all the surrounding walls, so that they could have a more direct view of the entire area under their jurisdiction.

The most obvious example is the flames that have been burning in Konoha. These flames have given Mei Terumi hope of entering Amegakure, and the temperature has increased significantly in the area under Konoha's control.

Although it's still unbearably cold, at least the kunai won't immediately turn brittle after being thrown in, which is good news. Perhaps after a while, that coldness will have no effect on ninjas.

What's rather strange is that the area near Sunagakure showed no reaction at all. Although it was known that the area near Sunagakure was experiencing intense heat, Mei Terumi discovered that the cold there showed no sign of decreasing.

What exactly is going on?

Mei Terumi compared the information coming from both sides and felt a headache coming on. Logically speaking, this situation should not have occurred, but the intersection of the two sides was just so magical.

The same tree, one half has become a dead tree, while the other half is still frozen into ice crystals.

This situation cannot be explained by common sense.

Time was slowly passing by. The flames in Konoha's territory had been burning for a whole day, but even so, the extreme cold in Kirigakure's territory was still unbearable for ninjas.

Mei Terumi, who was correcting herself in place, subconsciously looked up, and a drop of rain fell directly into her eye. Mei Terumi felt a little uncomfortable, but after blinking and recovering, she looked around again.

The raindrops gradually became denser, and soon turned into a torrential downpour. Noticing this, Mei Terumi subconsciously stretched out her right hand, and the raindrops fell into her hand, bringing a warm feeling!

"It seems there is still a way to break this deadlock!"

Mei Terumi muttered to herself. The entire Amegakure was covered by a curtain of rain. Regardless of other areas, the area under Kirigakure's jurisdiction would definitely be able to open a road.

Tsunade's clothes were already soaked, but her gaze remained fixed on the forest of flames burning wildly in the heavy rain. As long as the rain continued, the area under the jurisdiction of Kirigakure would be able to enter directly!

The arrival of rain brought joy to some and sorrow to others. Darui of Kumogakure felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the Kumogakure ninjas and Raikage who were paralyzed on the ground.

Rainwater is conductive, which means that the ninjas from Kumogakure would not only be paralyzed, but also have the possibility of drowning.

"Hopefully there won't be any problems."

Darui prayed silently, but this might not be a bad opportunity. If the rain could wash the ninjas from Kumogakure out, it might be a chance to break the deadlock.

The gray squares in the sky continued to fall, always maintaining the size of a head, but upon hitting the ground, they could create a hole about a hundred meters deep.

Onoki watched indifferently as the gray cube fell, creating a deep crater that was then filled with rainwater.

"This is a restricted area; there's no way we can get in from here!"

Huang Tu calmly said from the side that a day is enough time for the five great ninja villages to complete the exchange of information. Compared to Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure, which are three areas that may still be changed, the areas that Iwagakure and Kumogakure are responsible for have no possibility of breakthrough.
