"Lightning Bolt Bomb."
Just as the Fourth Raikage lifted Kushina, intending to slam her to death, Nanaise utilized the Flying Thunder God mark on her mother's body and abruptly appeared right in front of the Fourth Raikage at the critical moment.
The space ninjutsu was extremely fast. The moment Nanaise appeared, she raised her hand and fiercely struck a palm towards the Fourth Raikage's body core.
Actually, she initially aimed this strike at the chest. However, the height difference made it difficult to generate power and speed effectively against the chest, so she simply chose the abdominal body core instead.
Given the Fourth Raikage's reaction speed, he could have potentially dodged it at the last moment. But if he, as the Raikage, was scared into abandoning his attack by a young girl's palm strike, he would be unworthy of his title...
The pale palm struck the abdomen squarely. The Fourth Raikage's motion to slam his opponent down instantly halted.
Natural energy had been forcibly injected into his body. The moment this natural energy entered, it immediately disrupted the Fourth Raikage's chakra flow, even causing his Lightning Release Armor to malfunction.
Seizing this moment of pause, Kushina violently kicked backward with her foot. Without the protection of his Lightning Release Armor, the Fourth Raikage's dark face was squarely struck by the kick.
A nosebleed, along with a front tooth, were immediately kicked out...
Seeing her mother's attack succeed, but the Fourth Raikage still hadn't let go, Nanaise gathered her five fingers into a hand blade. Sage Art: Chidori was instantly activated. The lightning hand blade stabbed directly towards the Fourth Raikage's abdomen.
At this moment, the Fourth Raikage's body surface lacked the Lightning Release Armor. If Nanaise's killing move connected, the Fourth Raikage would be completely crippled even if he didn't die.
At the critical moment, the Fourth Raikage fiercely threw the Kushina in his hand at the murderous young girl.
Afraid that the Chidori might accidentally injure her mother, Nanaise hurriedly turned her body to take the impact head-on. The Fourth Raikage seized this interval to tear off the chakra chain near his heart.
"Ah..."
Nanaise was knocked to the ground with a scream. Kushina, cushioned by the body beneath her, was unhurt. She adjusted herself and immediately stood up, adopting a guarded stance.
Seeing the Fourth Raikage covering his pierced wound and spitting blood, Kushina quickly reached out and pulled her daughter up from the ground. "Are you okay."
"Mom, I am fine." Nanaise immediately responded. A few minor scrapes would heal within a few breaths.
"Bastards."
The Fourth Raikage glared ferociously at the mother and daughter pair. He had been far too careless just now. It was one thing for his Lightning Release Armor to fail against the Adamantine Sealing Chains, but to also fail to block an attack from a little girl.
The attacks of these two women were just too bizarre, especially that little girl's...
Nanaise could mobilize the power of nature with a raise of her hand. Injecting natural energy into a human body was a technique she created herself.
Since childhood, she knew her physique was different from ordinary people. Ordinary bodies could only withstand a tiny amount of natural energy; any more would cause problems. Based on this, Nanaise conceived the idea of injecting natural energy into a ninja's body to disrupt their normal chakra flow.
This move was only particularly effective against ordinary ninjas. If used against someone like Jiraiya who could use Sage Mode, its effect would be greatly reduced. And if used against someone like her father, a true sage with an internal core, it would be completely useless...
Seeing that Kushina and her daughter had not suffered at the Raikage's hands, Jiraiya and Tsunade couldn't help but sigh in relief. But then they realized that the one who had suffered a major loss was actually the Raikage, and he was still their ally...
Tsunade and Jiraiya hurriedly moved to surround the two women. Meanwhile, Shimura Danzo, along with the Raikage's two bodyguards, also closed in at this time.
The five great nations had too many elite fighters, so many that the Akatsuki members were somewhat overwhelmed. After all, the 'vanguard force' sent by their Otogakure numbered only eight people...
Currently, all eight were surrounded by the elites of the various nations. They could hardly ensure their own safety, let alone rescue Kushina and her daughter.
"Mom, it seems we are surrounded." Nanaise said, back-to-back with Kushina.
"Nonsense, clearly we have surrounded them."
Hearing this, a wicked smile couldn't help but appear on Nanaise's face.
"Use that move..."
"Okay, Mom."
As their words fell, the two simultaneously formed a hand seal.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."
Boom boom boom.
With both women going all out to perform the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, an extremely vast area of the battlefield was instantly filled with smoke. Immediately after, hordes of redheads and mixed-hairs charged towards the enemy, covering the mountains and fields.
"My god."
"Are these shadow clones."
"This scale, it must be over ten thousand."
The few elite fighters who had intended to hunt down Kushina and her daughter found themselves instantly counter-surrounded by countless shadow clones.
"The chakra reserves of these two ladies are just too exaggerated."
Are they even human.
The pressure on Kakuzu and the other Akatsuki members instantly decreased dramatically, and they couldn't help but be astonished by the two women's strength.
Before coming, they thought this mother-daughter pair might hold Akatsuki back. They never expected that instead, the two women would temporarily rescue them...
With the activation of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Kushina and Nanaise were no longer the primary targets drawing fire. After all, the Allied Shinobi Forces' objective was clear: capture the mother and daughter to force Otogakure's compliance.
But in this situation, even the Byakugan couldn't distinguish which was the real body and which were the shadow clones. How could they possibly capture anyone to threaten Uchiha Ryun...
"Speaking of which, where is that guy Uchiha Ryun. The battle has been going on for over an hour, why hasn't he shown up yet."
Kakashi, fighting alongside his father, suddenly thought of this, and a tremendous sense of pressure and unease arose in his heart.
Just as this thought emerged, the next moment he sensed something strange suddenly happening above him. When he looked up, he saw a spatial vortex had actually appeared out of thin air in the sky.
"This is..."
As a black-clothed figure appeared, the fear in Kakashi's heart could no longer be suppressed. His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. The person he had just thought of had immediately materialized right before everyone's eyes.
"Has he finally come. We need to hold him off first, buy time until Naruto's side finishes their battle."
Sakumo Hatake immediately formulated a tactic. He mentally contacted the Yamanaka clan ninjas and relayed this mission directly into the minds of all the Allied Shinobi Forces.
"Dad. You have finally come."
Thousands of Nanaise's shadow clones shouted happily in unison. Everyone heard this cry clearly. Many elites even voluntarily halted their fights, their eyes fixed intently on the figure above.
"Quite capable. Nanaise, Kushina, you two seem to be having quite a bit of fun."
Ryun could not help but laugh and praise. Originally, he had been somewhat worried about his wife and child running into trouble...
