The Daimyo of the Land of Earth looked at the thousand Blazing Angels on the screen, his smile instantly freezing.
"How can he summon Blazing Angels again?"
Ōnoki sighed, his tone a bit solemn. "Daimyo, this is what I just said. Susanoo consumed a large amount of his Chakra. From three thousand to one thousand, his Chakra has been depleted by at least two-thirds. But even so, a thousand Blazing Angels are enough to hold Pain and Obito in check. This amount of Chakra is still far beyond ordinary people."
The Daimyo of the Land of Earth fell silent, looking at the golden Blazing Angel swarm on the screen, his regret deepening.
If he hadn't offended the Land of Water back then, he might now be able to use the Land of Water's power to develop his own country, instead of hiding behind a screen watching the battle, worried about retaliation.
...
Seeing this, Deva Path concentrated an invisible gravitational force in his palm.
Bansho Ten'in!
An invisible force pulled the Blazing Angels in the air, and hundreds of them flew uncontrollably towards Pain.
But before they could get close, Deva Path suddenly activated Shinra Tensei, and the repulsive force instantly shattered the Blazing Angels into specks of light, dissipating into the air.
"Damn it! Pain's Ninjutsu is too effective against Clones!" Sayuri bit her lip, her tone anxious.
Shun, however, remained calm, directing the remaining Blazing Angels to continue engaging Obito, while coldly looking at Pain. "Still want to resist?"
Deva Path saw more and more Blazing Angels approaching, and also glimpsed the killing intent in Shun's eyes, knowing that he would gain no advantage today.
He turned to fly towards the Akatsuki camp, hastily shouting, "Retreat! We will fight another day!"
Shun coldly said, "I will spare your lives for today, but if you dare to attack the Land of Fire again, I will make you understand what regret means."
Deva Path dared not look back, flying back to his camp in a disheveled state, leaving behind a message before he left.
"Shun, we will be back!"
Obito was also entangled by the Blazing Angels. Seeing Pain retreat, he could only let out an unwilling snort and activated Kamui, disappearing from the battlefield.
Watching the two disappear, Shun slowly retracted his Chakra, and the flaming wings behind him gradually dissipated.
Sayuri's suspended heart finally settled, and she showed a relieved smile to the camera. "Ladies and gentlemen! Pain and Obito have retreated! We won! Shun-sama successfully repelled Akatsuki's attack!"
In front of the live camera, the Land of Water instantly erupted in cheers.
In the teahouse, the people raised their cups and cheered, even forgetting to clean up the broken teacups.
In the marketplace, the shopkeepers beat gongs and drums, and children ran around the television.
Cheers came from the windows of every household, and the entire Land of Water was immersed in the joy of victory.
Yuri wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "I knew it, Shun-sama would definitely win."
Inside the daimyo's residence in the Land of Earth, the cheers from the screen came through the equipment.
The Daimyo of the Land of Earth, with a complex expression, turned off the television and said to Ōnoki, "Damn it! Why didn't they keep fighting?! Do we need to reconsider our relationship with the Land of Water? We can't afford to provoke someone of Shun's strength."
Ōnoki nodded, his eyes solemn. "Don't just look at Shun winning. In reality, his Chakra consumption was enormous, which is why he didn't pursue them. However, based on the analysis of the battle just now, we can't afford to provoke either the Land of Akatsuki or the Land of Water."
Sayuri looked at Shun slowly descending below, her eyes full of admiration, and softly said into the microphone, "This is the Daimyo of our Land of Water. No matter how great the crisis, he always manages to turn the tide."
...
As Sayuri finished reporting on the Land of Akatsuki's war situation, the live broadcast screen began to switch.
Hayama, the special field reporter, dressed in his work uniform and holding a microphone, spoke with a calm and powerful voice, "Viewers, this is the Land of Water battlefield live commentary room. With Shun-sama repelling Akatsuki forces, the situations on the other three major battlefields are becoming increasingly critical."
"Next, I will provide you with real-time commentary on the dynamics of each battlefield. Let's focus on the first battlefield: Kumogakure vs. Konoha."
The screen locked onto the Kumogakure battlefield, where Seventh Hokage Minato's yellow cape was particularly conspicuous amidst the smoke.
Hayama's commentary echoed simultaneously, "What you are seeing now is the main battlefield of Kumogakure. Raikage A is personally leading the team. The Lightning Chakra surrounding his body offers astonishing defense."
"And Minato-sama, relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique, is performing extreme containment."
A Flying Thunder God Mark appeared under his feet, and Minato instantly teleported behind A, striking at the opponent's left shoulder with a Rasengan.
Bang!
Although A turned in time to block, his arm was still grazed by the Rasengan, but he was not injured.
Hayama's voice carried a hint of excitement. "A brilliant tactic! Minato-sama precisely seized the Raikage's weakness, but the Kumo ninjas' support speed is extremely fast. Look at the left side of the screen, three Kumo ninjas have already formed a encirclement. Minato-sama must retreat immediately."
...
The owner of the capital's general store clenched his fists and shouted to his son beside him, "Look at Minato-sama! This speed is simply lightning fast!"
Ayuka leaned over, nervously saying, "But there are too many Kumo ninjas. Will he be in danger?"
The surrounding commoners all nodded, their eyes fixed on the screen, afraid to miss any detail.
The scene switched to the Iwagakure battlefield, where Shisui and Itachi stood side by side, their Sharingan glowing red simultaneously.
Hayama's commentary immediately followed, "Now we are at the Iwagakure battlefield. Shisui-sama has activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Chakra fluctuations are spreading. Pay attention to the Iwa ninjas' movements. Their footsteps have already become chaotic, clearly trapped in a genjutsu."
"And Itachi-sama's Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique is coordinating to clear out the surrounding Iwa ninjas."
Suddenly, the ground shook violently as Kitsuchi led the Iwa ninjas in activating "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall," causing several Konoha ninjas to fall into the cracks.
Hayama's voice instantly grew solemn. "Danger! Iwagakure's 'Earth-Style Wall' is a large-scale surprise Ninjutsu, and the Konoha ninjas' formation has been disrupted!"
"Shisui-sama is saving people! He's actually taking Kitsuchi's punch head-on with his body! Look at the corner of his lips, blood is already seeping out, but he hasn't retreated, still covering the young ninjas behind him!"
At this moment, the Clear Wind Teahouse was in an uproar.
Tatsuma slammed the table and shouted, "Shisui-sama is too brave! This is the backbone of the Uchiha!"
A young man next to him excitedly said, "Look at Itachi-sama's Amaterasu! The black flames are burning Kitsuchi's arm! Quick! Counterattack now!"
The shouts of the commoners rose and fell, some even waving teacups at the screen, as if cheering for the front line.
The scene of the Sunagakure battlefield followed, with Nawaki's figure flickering in and out of view amidst the sandstorm.
Hayama's commentary carried a hint of gravity. "The situation on the Sunagakure battlefield is the most sever. Gaara's 'Sand Tsunami' covers an area of over 100 meters, and that wave of sandstorm just now swallowed ten Konoha ninjas."
"Nawaki-sama has activated Chakra enhanced strength, shattering Gaara's Sand Shield with one punch, but pay attention, his shoulder has been pierced by a sand spear, and blood is soaking through his ninja uniform."
The sand spear pierced through Nawaki's shoulder, and blood dripped down the tip of the spear, but the wound quickly healed.
"Look quickly! Nawaki-sama is holding a Kunai and charging towards Gaara!"
