"The battle is over!"
"Who won?"
"It should be Kirigakure's Yagyu!"
"Him?"
"Yes! In my sensing, he was the one with the relatively smaller chakra volume of the two."
"Although the other one had a larger amount of chakra, it plummeted suddenly earlier."
"This should be because Uchiha Madara used some kind of forbidden jutsu to restore his youth and strength, and once the jutsu expired, everything reverted."
"Lady Chiyo, should we act immediately? I sense that Yagyu's strength doesn't seem to have weakened."
"No, it's not just that it hasn't weakened. In my sensing, after the battle ended, his chakra amount actually increased again."
The Sunagakure sensory ninja communicated solemnly with Chiyo beside him.
"Chakra amount increased again? Are you kidding me!"
"He must be putting on a front, trying to scare us off."
"As far as I know, Yagyu possesses very decent sensory abilities."
Chiyo scoffed, speaking with disdain.
Although she was suspicious in her heart, she had to say this at this moment.
Even Uchiha Madara was defeated by Yagyu; could she retreat now? Attacking Yagyu now offered a sliver of hope.
If they waited until Yagyu fully recovered his state, recovering to the strength that could contend with Uchiha Madara, then Sunagakure would just have to wait to raise the white flag!
Chiyo set off with the Sunagakure ninjas, advancing rapidly towards Yagyu's location.
Meanwhile, ninjas from Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure also entered the battlefield one after another.
Yagyu stood quietly in place, digesting the Grandmaster-level swordsmanship he had just obtained.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Ninjas from the four great villages had already surrounded him.
"You guys sure are slow!"
"Konoha's Tsunade, Sunagakure's Chiyo, Iwagakure's Kitsuchi, Kumogakure's Raikage... Big shots from the four great ninja villages have all arrived!"
Yagyu's gaze swept over the crowd surrounding him as he drawled lazily.
"Yagyu! I have to say, you truly are a genius."
"If allowed to continue growing, one day you will become a powerhouse who dominates the world like the First Hokage."
"To protect our villages, to maintain peace in the ninja world, we must kill you here."
The burly Third Raikage stepped forward, speaking in a low voice.
"Ooh, scary!"
Yagyu spoke lazily, his face full of disdain.
"You want to kill me to protect your villages; it has nothing to do with maintaining peace in the ninja world."
Iwagakure's Kitsuchi said in a deep voice, "No! Your appearance has already broken the balance of the ninja world and will plunge the world into even greater wars."
Yagyu said slowly, "Actually, avoiding war is very easy."
"Just let me grow up completely, and then you can surrender to me."
"At that time, you'll all be my subordinates. We'll be one big family, so there won't be any war."
Sunagakure's Chiyo summoned the Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets and said mockingly, "To utter such ridiculous remarks, it seems you are nothing special after all."
"But no matter what, your talent is frighteningly powerful. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; we must eliminate you, this threat, in advance."
Yagyu nodded casually. "Very good, I understand the intentions of your three villages. Next, Tsunade, what do you think?"
Tsunade hesitated, unable to make up her mind.
The Third Raikage said with dissatisfaction, "Princess Tsunade, what are you still hesitating for? As far as I know, the conflict between Yagyu and Konoha is not small."
Chiyo chuckled lightly. "After the last incident, Konoha must have made more thorough preparations, right? We need your strength!"
Tsunade was still conflicted, unsure whether to act.
She knew Yagyu's terror; she didn't believe the few people present could do anything to him.
Yagyu looked at Tsunade with a smile and said softly, "Princess Tsunade, could I ask you to watch from the side? After I deal with these scraps, I'll have a detailed talk with you."
The few Konoha ninjas beside Tsunade looked at her hesitantly. "Lady Tsunade..."
Tsunade waved her hand and said decisively, "We fall back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she led her people to retreat quickly.
"She actually left?"
Sunagakure's Chiyo looked astonished.
"Coward!"
The Third Raikage was furious.
"Women, useless for big tasks!"
Kitsuchi looked indifferent.
"Very good! It seems the rule about big breasts and no brains isn't one hundred percent accurate. Princess Tsunade is a person with great self-awareness!"
"However... she can retreat safely, but you guys are different."
"Since you chose to come here looking for trouble, you bastards should be prepared for the consequences, right?"
Yagyu looked at the Third Raikage and the others indifferently, speaking slowly.
"Just right!"
"I just obtained a new skill and was looking for suitable opponents to hone it!"
"You guys came just in time. Let me test my strength!"
Yagyu clapped his hands together, then pulled them apart, revealing a massive golden light sword in his hands.
Sword of Kusanagi (Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi)!
With the golden light sword in hand, Yagyu swung it unceremoniously.
The golden light sword compressed the air, unleashing a sharp flying slash that cut towards Chiyo.
Chiyo moved her hands, and the ten puppets formed a military formation, joining forces to block Yagyu's flying slash.
As the masterpiece among puppets, the cooperation of the Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets was seamless.
Coupled with the Kage-level puppeteer Chiyo, the power unleashed was enough to trouble most Kage-level powerhouses.
But under Yagyu's single strike, the Chikamatsu Collection was completely repelled, and even Chiyo was forced back repeatedly by the shock.
"Such strong power!"
Chiyo was shocked. The power Yagyu unleashed just now was no less than that of Tsunade, who was famous in the ninja world for her monstrous strength.
"Kid!"
The Third Raikage roared, blinding lightning erupting from his body as arcs of electricity flickered around him.
Lightning Style Chakra Mode!
Lightning Style Armor!
The Third Raikage used the Lightning Style Chakra Mode, summoning the Lightning Style Armor to enhance his physical capabilities in all aspects using Lightning Style chakra.
His body moved, closing in on Yagyu in an instant, four fingers piercing towards Yagyu like spear tips.
Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite!
Sensing the sound of breaking wind from behind, Yagyu's expression remained unchanged. He thrust his sword backward with a backhand grip.
Combining the technique of Finger Pistol (Shigan) with sword thrusting, Yagyu's strike contained terrifying power, clashing head-on with the Third Raikage.
Bang!
An air wave exploded on the spot, as if a cannonball had detonated there.
The Third Raikage, clad in lightning, was sent flying back in a wretched state.
