Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

Qingwu dared not launch any more probing attacks, thinking to himself: I'll hone my physical skills later.

"Spiritual communication!"

Twenty more withered tree guardians and three more unicorns were summoned onto the field.

He knew very well that the Unicorn was the main force against those at the Kage level and above, while the Deadwood Guardian could only play a certain role in restraining them.

All four unicorns grew to enormous sizes, protecting Qingwu in the middle, while the withered tree guards used their roots to entangle and delay Lei Ying's speed.

However, the Raikage at full speed was just too fast!

Like a blue lightning bolt leaping across the battlefield, he easily evaded the slow attacks of the withered tree guardians, weaving through the gaps in the roots.

Every now and then, a punch, a kick, or a chop to the hand would land on the withered tree guardian or the unicorn. Each attack was powerful and heavy, accompanied by bursts of lightning.

boom!

A withered wooden guardian was hit in the waist three times in a row. Finally, it could not hold on and broke in the waist, and its upper body crashed to the ground.

There wasn't time to recall them; one of the withered wood guardians was instantly killed!

Qingwu's pupils contracted slightly. Lei Ying's speed and power complemented each other perfectly; it was terrifying.

Orochimaru almost killed Mokumo with the Kusanagi Sword back then, and so can the Raikage!

boom!!

A unicorn was struck in the side by the Raikage's elbow. Despite being protected by an anti-magic aura, it was still knocked to the ground.

However, the Raikage let out a "Huh," as he was very confident in his attack and hadn't expected that the strange horned creature would still be alive.

……

Chapter 208 Orochimaru Appears

The unicorn that protects Qingwu with its four corners is temporarily missing one corner.

Lei Ying's figure flashed and appeared in front of Qing Wu.

"team leader!"

Hidden in the shadows, Shi Shui watched with trepidation.

He knew the captain might be testing him, feigning weakness, but the overwhelming strength the Raikage displayed still exceeded his expectations.

Can't wait any longer!

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Shisui emerged from behind the giant rock where he was hiding and unleashed a massive fire dragon. He did not attack the Raikage directly, but rather blocked the Raikage's possible attack routes, giving Seigo a chance to catch his breath.

At the same time, the Phantom Body Technique was activated, and the Three Tomoe technique was used to lock onto the Raikage's fast-moving figure.

"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"

Although it was known that the genjutsu would have little effect on a powerhouse of the Raikage's caliber, especially one in a state of high excitement and surging battle intent,

But Shisui still wanted to try to interfere.

As expected, Raikage only paused slightly, a flash of lightning in his eyes, before breaking free from the illusion's restraints and casting a cold gaze upon Shisui:

"Uchiha brat? You're asking for death!"

He moved swiftly, intending to deal with the annoying fly first.

Qingwu frowned slightly; Zhishui had come out too early.

According to his plan, he intended to seriously injure himself to lure Orochimaru out using Anko's cursed seal, and then let Shisui find an opportunity.

He hasn't used one of his trump cards yet, the "Slowness Technique".

It can only be applied to the Raikage at this moment.

"Boom!"

Raikage's figure, which was about to strike Shisui, paused. He felt as if the pumping of blood in his heart had slowed down.

Just then, a noise came from the direction of the ice cave.

However, Tianzang and Hongdou rushed out after seeing that Zhishui had already made a move.

"Wood Release·Tree Boundary Wall!"

Tenzo clapped his hands, and several wooden walls rose up, attempting to block Raikage's line of sight and attack route.

"Ninja Technique: Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"

Anko also used her magic to interfere with the Raikage's attack, while her other hand reached for her ninja tool pouch, preparing to throw a kunai with an explosive tag attached.

However, in the Raikage's eyes, their movements were too slow.

"Hmph, trash!"

The Raikage's lightning chakra erupted completely, his hair standing on end, "Lightning Armor!"

He instantly broke free from the slowing effect of the [Slow Technique] by bursting out of his body.

"Go back!"

Ignoring his teammates for coming out at the wrong time, Qingwu shouted.

Fortunately, the Raikage didn't seem to care about the "minions" at all. He simply waved his arm casually, and a condensed lightning chakra shot out like a whip, with astonishing speed.

Snapped!Snapped!

The tree barrier of Tianzang was easily shattered, and the aftershock swept across his chest. He groaned, spat out blood, and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ice and sliding a long distance, unable to get up for a while.

The giant python made of red beans was also directly lashed apart by the lightning whip.

She herself was struck on the shoulder by the end of the lightning whip, and was thrown out while spinning, with the explosive tags in her hand scattered all over the ground.

In a single exchange, Tianzang and Hongdou were severely injured and rendered unable to fight!

This was only because the Raikage's main target was Qingwu, and he only dealt them casually!

call out!

The lightning-encrusted figure crashed straight into another unicorn.

Qingwu took the opportunity to create distance.

But the Raikage was ever-present, and after activating his "Lightning Release Armor," his speed had reached its limit.

"Heavenly Treasury! Snake Princess!"

Shisui's eyes were bloodshot, but he forced himself to remain calm, his figure transforming into countless phantoms as he tried to keep up with the Raikage's speed.

Unfortunately... even though he is known for his speed, he is still lagging behind the Raikage when he is only a teenager.

"Annoying flies!"

Raikage's gaze shifted, and he suddenly charged towards Shisui, "I'll take care of you first!"

Although Shisui's speed couldn't keep up with his, his Phantom Body Flicker Technique combined with the Sharingan's prediction still had some impact on him.

Moreover, the other unicorn that had been attacked stood up again.

Raikage knew that dealing with the Shadow Guard captain would probably be the most difficult task.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Plow Blade!"

The Raikage vanished instantly, and the next moment, he was already hurtling towards Shisui at lightning speed. His raised arm crackled with Lightning Release chakra as he prepared to deliver a fatal blow with his powerful wrist.

Fortunately, Shisui's Phantom Body Flicker Technique allows him to swap positions with his phantom.

boom--!!

Shisui's true form appeared in another location, and it was seen that the clone, along with the surrounding space, was swallowed and cut up by lightning and instantly annihilated.

"That was close!" Cold sweat broke out on Shisui's back.

If he hadn't transferred his true form to the furthest phantom in time, he would probably have been forced to use that...

Taking advantage of the Raikage being briefly restrained by Shisui, Qingwu took a deep breath.

He glanced at his seriously injured and fallen teammates, summoned a slug to heal them, and moved Tianzang and Hongdou to a distance.

There's no other way; the plan has been disrupted, and now we can only prioritize protecting our teammates.

"Fourth Raikage, I am your opponent!"

Qingwu clapped his hands, summoning hundreds of silver pegasus horses that soared into the sky. On the ground, all the withered wood guards were also summoned.

A massive number of roots grew wildly, not only emerging from the ground to twine around Lei Ying, but also connecting with each other through their branches.

In an instant, a small, mobile, and aggressive forest was created on the ice field!

Meanwhile, the lightly injured unicorns, healed by the slugs, gathered together, their anti-magic auras forming a single line, and charged towards the Raikage.

Previously, he was only passively defending, but now he intends to wear down the Raikage to the very end.

Although the roots of the withered tree guardians were slow to entwine, their sheer number and wide coverage limited the Raikage's speed to some extent.

He had to distract himself by using lightning techniques to cut or shake off the constantly attacking roots and branches.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

Through experimentation and development, Qingwu created a sea of ​​trees using more than eighty dead tree guardians, which has a bit of the feel of the First Hokage.

At the same time, the fastest unit, the Silver Pegasus, kept harassing Shisui from the air, creating opportunities for him to retreat.

"Mongoose, let's go!"

Qingwu shouted, holding the [Meteor Shower] weapon in his hand, ready to coordinate with the four unicorns to launch a crucial attack at any moment.

"They have a lot of tricks up their sleeves, but none of them work!"

The Raikage was temporarily trapped in the "Sea of ​​Trees," but he remained calm and instead went berserk, declaring, "In the face of absolute power, numbers are meaningless!"

"Lightning Release: Righteous Lightning Sinking Wrath Thunder Axe!"

Boom!

The blinding lightning instantly engulfed an area of ​​several meters around it, and a chasm several tens of meters long stretched from the ice surface into the distance.

The three closest withered tree guardians were blown to pieces, and the two unicorns charging head-on were also shaken by the shockwave and howled incessantly.
