Chapter 823: Bury it with it!
The West Zone of Lou Lan City.
"Good!"
"Tengen Uzui, was it? This Old Man remembers you!"
The Third Raikage stopped his offensive and said with a gloomy expression.
He had confirmed that he couldn't defeat the opponent in a short time. This person must possess some kind of peculiar Sensory Ability, which is why he could consistently evade his attacks.
Furthermore, that powerful Sound Release was enough to contend with the long-range Lightning Release he unleashed.
"Hehe, to be remembered by the Third Raikage, that is truly something to boast about."
Tengen Uzui responded to the opponent's fierce gaze with a brilliant smile.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Heaven knows how much Pressure the opponent had put on him.
The Third Raikage's speed was truly too fast. Within a small to medium range, it was no exaggeration to say his speed was comparable to lightning. If he didn't have Observation Haki and Sound Wave Ability, he would most likely have been finished by now.
"Oh, right."
"I also have a very flashy Nickname, and I hope you can remember it. After all, I am someone of considerable standing!"
Tengen Uzui teased.
At this moment, the Third Raikage had already turned his back to him, seemingly not caring at all if the opponent would Sneak Attack him. Hearing Tengen Uzui's words, he replied without turning his head.
"Then This Old Man would like to hear it. What kind of ridiculous Nickname does a Sound Release brat like you, whom This Old Man has never heard of, have?"
"It's a flashy Nickname!"
Tengen Uzui emphasized solemnly, and then said, "Listen well, my Nickname is 'Sound Hashira', the 'Sound Hashira' Uzui Jonin!"
"Sound Hashira..."
The Third Raikage muttered it once, then sneered, "A nonsensical Nickname, and quite boring!" After speaking, he directly transformed into Electric Flash and flew outside Lou Lan City.
"What did you say!"
Tengen Uzui was instantly enraged, immediately swinging the two Nichirin Blades in his hands and roaring towards the opponent's back view.
"Get back here! Fight me for three days and three nights more, or take back your insult!!"
He seemed genuinely enraged. His roar formed ripple-like sound waves in the air. The ground along the way, which was already in tatters, further developed dense cracks.
But the Third Raikage had already decided to leave and completely ignored Tengen Uzui.
"Damn it, to actually look down on my name as 'Sound Hashira', that's just too much..."
Tengen Uzui cursed through gritted teeth.
A few minutes later.
As several sharp whistling sounds echoed in the sky outside the fortress, the Cloud Hidden Ninja inside Lou Lan City began to retreat with unwilling expressions.
The Sea Ninja Village and Cipher Pol side also did not pursue. Covered in injuries, they watched them leave the city.
Just looking around.
The streets and alleys of Lou Lan City were already stained with bloodstains, still warm. Corpses lying in pools of blood were everywhere. There were Cloud Hidden wearing single-shouldered white clothes, and Sea Ninja wearing Black Vests.
However, the most numerous were the Men in Black who joined the war later.
Because there were many of them, and compared to the selected Sea Ninja, their Strength was uneven.
Of course.
These few casualties were merely a drop in the bucket for the vast Cipher Pol. If the Sea Ninja Village suffered this many casualties, it would be almost crippled.
This is the gap in scale, and also why the World Government placed the Sea Ninja Village under Cipher Pol's Jurisdiction.
But no matter what.
This was the first time Cipher Pol had suffered such heavy casualties in an Otherworld, with an estimated two to three hundred people.
This also made the World Government fully realize the difficulty gap between the Ninja World and the previous few Worlds.
The ninja here.
Even a mere Genin would at least know Clone Jutsu, Transformation Technique, Substitution Jutsu, and Invisibility Technique, Ability possessing Supernatural Power, as well as decent Shurikenjutsu and relatively excellent Melee Capability.
From Chunin upwards, they are even more troublesome.
Especially those few Cloud Hidden Jonin, they could easily massacre the regular members on Cipher Pol's side. If two or three of them used joint ninjutsu, its power and range would be astonishingly large.
Most of those collapsed spires and sky bridges came from this...
Outside the fortress.
Just as Tengen Uzui and the others were gradually relaxing.
The Third Raikage found Jonin Dodai, who had not participated in the war, and expressionlessly issued an order that startled the surrounding Cloud Ninja.
"Wait until everyone inside the city is out, then have the Second Unit use Joint Ninjutsu on Rōran, completely annihilating this small country in a sea of fire, turning it into a scorched earth ruin on this desert!"
Jonin Dodai opened his mouth as if to say something, but closed it again, silently accepting the order.
Because he knew that if he didn't do this, Raikage-sama would find it difficult to suppress the rage in his heart, and rage could make a person lose rationality.
He also didn't want Raikage-sama to make any more extreme decisions because of this after returning, as that would surely cause more harm to Cloud Hidden Village.
Time slowly flowed by in the blowing sandstorm.
The speed of the Cloud Hidden Ninja inside the city was very fast. They completely withdrew from inside the city in less than ten minutes, and then received treatment from Medical Ninja with their tired or painful bodies.
But they were surprised to find that their side showed no signs of packing up and leaving yet.
Instead, the members of the Second Unit, who were mainly responsible for mid-to-long range attacks during the war, lined up and completely surrounded Rōran from all four sides.
This scene was too familiar.
"This..."
Tengen Uzui and the others sensed that something was wrong and returned to the City Wall Top, seeing the same scene.
"I remember it was mentioned in the intelligence that the ninja units of the Great Ninja Villages can perform large-scale combined ninjutsu released by dozens, even hundreds, or several hundred people together. Could it be..."
At this moment, Fukurokuju, who had waist-length reddish-brown hair, frowned and said with some hesitation.
The next second.
Tengen Uzui, Hotei, Yazaemon, Bishamon, Takumi, and the others exchanged glances, and a strong sense of unease arose in their hearts.
They had previously witnessed joint ninjutsu performed by two or three people working together.
That power could easily collapse spires hundreds of meters high. Their own Tempest Kick, Flying Slash Attack, and the like couldn't offer any resistance at all.
One can imagine how terrifying the joint ninjutsu performed by over four hundred people would be!
"What should we do? We can't stop it..."
Takumi, who looked like a blonde loli, said, biting her lip. She was a little scared and thought about quickly running inside the city.
Tengen Uzui pondered for a few seconds, then sighed helplessly, "There's no method. Let's have everyone retreat!"
He truly didn't expect that the esteemed Third Raikage would make such a despicable and crazy action, actually planning to completely destroy the entire Rōran.
On the other side,
Hundreds of Cloud Hidden Ninja from the east, south, west, and north directions had uniformly formed their respective hand seals.
The next moment.
Half of the ninja among them unleashed surging gales towards the opposing Loulan City Wall, while simultaneously shouting the name of the ninjutsu from their bulging mouths in unison.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
In an instant, the gales unleashed by over fifty ninja merged together amidst the howling, forming terrifying tsunami-like wind waves that swept overwhelmingly towards Rōran.
But this wasn't the end.
The remaining Cloud Hidden Ninja took a step forward and unleashed various Fire Release ninjutsu they were skilled in, causing the already connected wind waves to quickly ignite into a towering sea of fire.
Actually, their choice to use this combination of Wind Release and Fire Release joint ninjutsu was also out of helplessness.
Because Cloud Hidden Ninja are most skilled in Lightning Release and Water Release, followed by Wind Release, and then Fire Release and Earth Release.
In previous Large Army Combat, they always used Water Release and Lightning Release joint ninjutsu.
But in this Desert Environment, Water Release couldn't be used at all, and Wind Release and Lightning Release couldn't form joint ninjutsu. At least, they didn't know how, and they hadn't seen other ninja villages use it either.
"It's over!"
Tengen Uzui sighed in his heart as he watched the sky behind him light up with Hikari everywhere. Their mission had likely failed, while the Third Raikage outside the fortress wore a cold smile.
"Rōran, it's over. Sound Release brat, you can be buried with this Ancient Kingdom!"
