"Don't fight in the village, lure them out!"
Although the duel arena was built north of Konoha village, it was still too close to the village. The fluctuations of battle would inevitably affect the village, so they had to find a way to lure the enemies to a deserted place.
"This guy in front looks like a subordinate. We need to deal with the one above," Shisui saw Nagato being suppressed by Momoshiki and knew that if he didn't act, the situation would become dire.
"We can have the ninja of the Nara clan use the Shadow Imitation Technique to control him."
"No, the opponent can absorb all ninjutsu, and Shadow Imitation Technique is also a branch of Yin Release."
As everyone pondered countermeasures, Kinshiki clearly wouldn't give them such an opportunity.
A red light weapon resembling a splitting axe flew towards everyone. It was obvious that this was another weapon Kinshiki had retrieved from the light rings on his back.
Jiraiya leaped forward to block in front of everyone, "Leave it to me, Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall!"
"Let me help you, Earth Style: Super Heavyweight Jutsu!"
*Boom!*
The red light great axe shattered the Earth-Style Wall that Jiraiya and Onoki had jointly cast, but it also lost its momentum and got stuck in the earthen wall.
However, Kinshiki also used this opportunity to get in front of everyone. Just as he was about to swing his katana, he was kicked back.
"I'll deal with him. Sixth Gate, the Gate of Viewing, open!"
To prevent Kakashi beside him from getting injured, Might Guy instantly activated the sixth gate of the Eight Inner Gates, the Gate of Viewing. Green energy wrapped around his body, boosting his strength and speed by several levels.
The two clashed, fist against fist. Kinshiki, apart from the initial surprise, gradually gained the upper hand in close combat. Even after withstanding two heavy punches from Might Guy with his physical body, he only retreated a few steps.
Clearly, just the sixth gate, the Gate of Viewing, was not enough to deal with Kinshiki.
"Let's go help too."
Just as everyone was about to step forward to assist, a figure plummeted from the sky and landed on the ground, creating a small crater.
"Cough... cough..."
Nagato patted his tattered red cloud black robe and pretended to be calm as he said, "An accident, I slipped up."
In the sky, Momoshiki revealed a disdainful smile.
"Inferior beings, even if you accidentally obtain the Rinnegan, it won't change your fate."
Nagato remained silent. Although he was strong, Momoshiki's Byakugan could easily discern all his techniques. In close combat, he was no match for him. However, as Nagato had said, he had only suffered a small setback due to carelessness, and he still had many techniques.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have thought of a plan and shouted to Mei Terumi, "Fifth Mizukage, cooperate with me!"
"Earth Style: Earthquake Fist!"
Mei Terumi was initially confused by Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention, but as the ground trembled and the rocks on both sides constantly undulated, seemingly trying to push something up from underground, she understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's purpose.
As expected of the Ninja Art Professor, he could come up with a countermeasure so quickly.
Momoshiki did not understand Hiruzen Sarutobi's intentions, but he could not allow the other party to unleash ninjutsu. However, before he could make a move, a kunai inscribed with "Sword of Ninjutsu Love" grazed his cheek and embedded itself in the ground behind him.
"Even if I can't use ninjutsu, this move should be fine."
Momoshiki scanned his surroundings and found that the ground around him was inexplicably covered with special kunai.
"Rasengan: Super Tailed Beast Mode!"
Minato Namikaze instantly transformed into a ball of yellow light, shuttling around Momoshiki. His speed was so great that even Momoshiki's Byakugan could not accurately track his position.
Suddenly, a blinding yellow lightning bolt struck towards Momoshiki. Momoshiki instinctively extended the Rinnegan in his palm to absorb it, but it was completely ineffective.
"What is this?"
Minato Namikaze did not respond but took the opportunity to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear behind Momoshiki and kicked him into the air with a light chuckle,
"Konoha Special, Yellow Flash Bomb!"
At this moment, Tsunade descended from the sky and kicked a massive stone pillar that had been unearthed by Hiruzen Sarutobi. The position was directly below Momoshiki.
"Break for me!"
*Rumble!*
The giant stones shattered, and then a clear spring gushed out from the depths of the earth. Mei Terumi immediately formed hand seals.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
The ground cracked again, and more clear springs were drawn out like a waterfall, instantly flooding the entire duel arena.
"Underground spring?"
At this moment, Momoshiki realized the group's objective. However, he was already being swept away from Konoha by the immense spring water.
On the other side, Might Guy, who was in a stalemate with Kinshiki, instinctively shielded his chest to block an attack from Kinshiki, then took a deep breath.
"It's time for you to join your master. Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder, open!"
"Morning Tiger!"
Without hesitation, the moment Might Guy opened the Gate of Wonder, he unleashed a super-high-speed punch. He gave Kinshiki no time to react. A white tiger formed by compressed air roared and charged towards Kinshiki.
"This guy, this is just the force of a punch?"
Kinshiki was greatly alarmed, but the Morning Tiger had already locked onto him, so he could only reluctantly draw his red light katana to defend. However, Might Guy was not alone.
"Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld!"
The ground beneath Kinshiki's feet suddenly became like a swamp. Without a foothold, Kinshiki's body faltered and was torn apart by the white tiger, being sent flying into the distance.
Jiraiya retracted his hands and immediately said, "We need to quickly relocate the battlefield."
Minato Namikaze made a decisive call and said to everyone, "Third Hokage, you stay here to organize the remaining Jonin to protect the village. Elder Tsunade, you organize and lead the medical team to provide support. Everyone else, follow me to deal with the Otsutsuki."
"But..." Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to say more, but he suddenly remembered that there was a large group of Jonin from other villages gathered in the village, and someone had to stay behind.
Moreover, he was already old and his stamina could not keep up with the younger generation. Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, "I understand, Minato. Don't worry about the village, I'm here."
Minato Namikaze no longer hesitated. After exchanging glances with Jiraiya and the others, he instantly vanished from his spot.
Meanwhile, a young man in a red cloud black robe was already flying towards Momoshiki's direction. Nagato would not heed Minato Namikaze's words.
At this moment, Nagato's heart had only one thought: annihilate the Otsutsuki and then resurrect his Yahiko!
...
On the other side, Obito, who was leading the Akatsuki against the two Otsutsuki, was being pushed back by Isshiki and Urashiki.
It wasn't that the Akatsuki were too weak, but rather that the combination of Urashiki and Isshiki was too formidable.
Urashiki did not need his opponent to release ninjutsu to absorb chakra; he could directly extract chakra from ninjas with his red light fishing hook.
And Isshiki's taijutsu was even superior to Kinshiki's. Even a full-force kick from Jigen's body could shatter the defense of Susanoo, let alone landing a blow.
Hidan, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Kakuzu had already been defeated. Four of Kakuzu's hearts had been destroyed, leaving only one to barely survive.
Hidan's chest had been pierced, and his neck had been twisted 180 degrees, lying at Kakuzu's feet.
"I say, big brother Kakuzu, can you be a bit more accommodating and stitch up my stomach first? I'm afraid I'll really die if this goes on."
*Slap!*
The only response Hidan received was an unceremonious kick.
"Ow! It's still 90 degrees off, another kick!"
On the battlefield.
Sasori, Konan, and Deidara were围攻 the stealthy Urashiki, while Obito and Itachi were drawing Isshiki's attacks away from them. Isshiki, who had entered the Karma stage, was beyond the resistance of other Akatsuki members.
"Kamui!"
"It's useless, this move doesn't work on me."
Isshiki casually formed a black rod and blocked his right shoulder. Then, the space around the black rod tore open, and Isshiki used this to escape Obito's Kamui range.
"It seems that the old tricks don't have much effect on the strong."
"Itachi, are you ready?"
Itachi nodded and was about to activate Susanoo when he seemed to notice something and said silently, "Are we missing someone?"
Obito: "..."
Where was Shisui?
