Looking at the huge sphere not far away, everyone exclaimed and turned their gaze towards Kitsuchi, their faces filled with admiration.
"Such powerful Earth Release, as expected of Lord Kitsuchi!"
"Exactly, that guy must be dead by now."
However, Kitsuchi himself did not lower his guard, staring intently at the rock sphere; he did not believe that such a formidable opponent would be so easily defeated by him.
"Be careful, that guy's Chakra is still there!"
Just then, a sensing Ninja nearby changed his expression and roared to those around him.
"Prepa—"
"Boom!"
Kitsuchi's face showed a 'just as expected' expression. He stood up, just about to say something, when he was interrupted by a loud bang.
The giant rock sphere in front of them began to tremble violently, and then a hole suddenly burst open on its surface. Under everyone's horrified gaze, a thick tentacle emerged from it, followed by a head, a body, wings, and finally, seven tails waving in the air.
"Roar!"
Looking at the dense crowd of Iwagakure Ninja beneath his feet, Ren immediately let out a beast-like roar. A terrifying aura emanated from him, instantly causing most of the Iwagakure Ninja's faces to turn pale, and their bodies instinctively began to tremble.
After roaring, Ren leaped into the sky, his wings rapidly flapping. He hovered in the air, slowly opening his mouth, and a pitch-black small ball began to slowly form in front of him.
"Attack, stop him!"
Kitsuchi roared at his surroundings, his hands also rapidly forming hand seals.
As one of Iwagakure's top experts, he had participated in several operations to suppress Tailed Beast rampages, so he was extremely familiar with that kind of small ball.
With so many comrades here, if that kind of destructive attack were to land, the consequences...
Thinking of this, Kitsuchi's face instantly darkened.
"Earth Release..."
Just as everyone had finished mobilizing their Chakra and were about to launch their attack, a flash of lightning suddenly shot out, piercing through their ranks in the blink of an eye and instantly disrupting their second organized offensive.
In the end, only a few scattered rock projectiles flew into the air, but they also missed their targets due to their aim being affected.
"What!"
Kitsuchi suddenly turned around and immediately saw the lightning flash constantly weaving through the crowd, his face looking even more grim.
He had forgotten that there was more than one enemy this time.
As their attack missed, Ren's attack had also finished charging, and an aura of destruction emanated from the condensed small ball.
Ren's gaze swept around and finally locked onto one spot. In his perception, the Chakra fluctuations of the enemies there were generally weaker.
Before the people below could react, the fully charged small ball in front of Ren suddenly shot out, heading straight for the crowd!
Tailed Beast Ball, fire!
"Not good!"
Looking in the direction the small ball was heading, Kitsuchi's face instantly changed drastically. As he strode forward, he formed hand seals, and once he entered the range of the Jutsu, he slammed his hands onto the ground and roared.
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
The Iwagakure Ninja not far away suddenly felt their footing unsteady and dodged to the side. As soon as they moved, a thick earth wall rose from the ground beneath their feet and collided with the incoming Tailed Beast Ball.
"Boom!"
As soon as the two made contact, the Tailed Beast Ball exploded, and the Yin-Yang Chakra within it spread outwards. The earth wall that had just risen was instantly blown to pieces.
The energy wave, mixed with rock fragments of varying sizes, continued to smash into the terrified crowd on the ground. By the time they reacted and tried to release Ninjutsu to resist, it was already too late.
Screams accompanied by the dull thuds of rocks hitting the ground, incessantly. All the rocks were more or less stained with traces of blood.
"Damn it!"
Watching the Iwagakure Ninja fall in droves, Kitsuchi gritted his teeth and rushed into the affected area. His left hand was covered in a layer of rock, and he blocked the incoming rocks in front of several comrades, shattering them.
"Lord Kitsuchi!"
The surrounding Iwagakure Ninja also reacted immediately, quickly organizing their teams. Some were responsible for knocking down the rocks flying through the air, while others carried severely injured comrades out of the area and hurried away from the battlefield.
"These two guys!"
As this wave of attacks was neutralized, Kitsuchi's eyes were practically spitting fire at the two of them, yet he also seemed somewhat helpless.
The abilities of these two people were too powerful. The Third Raikage was renowned throughout the Ninja World for his powerful body, and when he used Lightning Release Chakra Mode, they couldn't even catch up to him. Even if they happened to intercept him, his immense defensive power made everyone feel a sense of powerlessness.
And the guy above was even more troublesome; he just flew in the air and didn't engage them directly. Their long-range Ninjutsu couldn't do anything to him. Such enemies made their fighting extremely frustrating.
"First Unit Ninja, rendezvous with me here! Other combat units, gather together! Captains, activate Earth Core Movement together!"
Kitsuchi suddenly stood up and shouted to his surroundings.
"Yes!"
Soon, a unit of nearly a hundred Ninja came and stood beside Kitsuchi. The latter once again formed hand seals. Releasing several large-scale Ninjutsu did not show the slightest sign of exhaustion on his face; this was the confidence brought by Chakra.
"Earth Release: Earth Core Movement!"
Several synchronized voices rang out, and the entire battlefield instantly began to shake. About ten sections of ground, each several hundred square meters, began to rise. Ren, who originally had the high ground advantage, was instantly surrounded by a large number of rock pillars.
"Attack!"
Under Ren's astonished gaze, a large number of Iwagakure Ninja on the surrounding rock pillars immediately leaped up, wielding Kunai and slashing towards him.
"Tsk, what's going on?"
Ren was immediately confused by their actions. If they fell from such a height, even a Ninja would have no chance of survival. What was the benefit of this kind of suicidal attack?
While Ren was puzzled, he did not forget to dodge the attacks. The Iwagakure Ninja whose attacks missed did not panic; instead, they landed in the middle of another rock pillar, then firmly adhered themselves to it with Chakra. With a few strides, they leaped onto the top of the rock pillar again.
"Earth Release... it can be used like this too."
Ren felt his horizons broadened. Just as he was marveling, a figure behind him swung a rock fist at him. Just as the attack was about to hit, Ren suddenly turned around and struck directly at the opponent with the tentacle on his head!
"Pfft!"
Under the opponent's surprised gaze, the long horn and his rock fist were in a stalemate for a moment before he was sent flying. Compared to Ren, they, without a foothold in the air, were at a significant disadvantage.
"So annoying."
As Ren muttered, he suddenly flapped his wings and charged forward, his head tentacle stabbing directly at the opponent's chest!
For Ren, since he was taking action, he had to be prepared to face death!
While the two were fighting fiercely, on the other side, the three youngsters had already seen the Konoha Border Line.
