Chapter 123: The Yuan Master takes action! The battle of Misty Island ends!
Endless bone spikes tore through the earth!
Several Kirigakure and Uzumaki Ninja who couldn't escape in time were directly killed by Kaguya Kami Hachiryu's carpet-bombing attack!
But!
This seemingly powerful attack!
Had no effect on Uzumaki Shigeharu!
With a piercing whoosh!
Kaguya Kami Hachiryu was once again sent flying!
Uzumaki Shigeharu, on the other hand, performed a graceful flip, landing steadily on top of a giant bone spike!
The anticipated roar did not sound!
Amidst the permeating smoke!
An aged figure had appeared at some point!
With just one hand, he stopped the tumbling Kaguya Kami Hachiryu!
"Kamihachiryū! Enough!"
"You are not his opponent!"
"Let me end this battle!"
The old, deep voice of Genshi gradually spread across the battlefield!
Upon seeing Genshi personally enter the fray!
The morale of the Kirigakure Ninja fighting on the battlefield immediately soared severalfold!
Kaguya Kami Hachiryu was strong!
But he was only a Quasi-Kage!
And Genshi was a genuine Kage-level expert!
"Elder Genshi! You..."
Looking at Genshi, Kaguya Kami Hachiryu immediately calmed down!
However, a hint of worry was inevitably revealed in his eyes!
This person before him was indeed Kage-level!
But, after the erosion of long years!
Genshi had long passed the peak of a Ninja's prime!
Various aspects of his condition inevitably showed a downward trend!
If he encountered an accident while fighting Uzumaki Shigeharu!
Neither he nor the Kaguya Clan would likely escape accountability from the Village's high-ranking officials!
"What? Do you think this old man is too old to wield a blade?"
Facing Kaguya Kami Hachiryu's hesitation, Genshi snorted coldly!
His body suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful Chakra!
This level of power was something that not even Kaguya Kami Hachiryu, let alone Uzumaki Shigeharu, who possessed the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline, could match!
"Kage-level, huh!"
"Hidden Mist Village... this time, their move is truly grand beyond imagination!"
Looking at Genshi's withered face, Uzumaki Shigeharu's lips curved into a bitter smile!
This was the foundation of a Great Ninja Village!
Kage-level experts were endless, and powerful individuals emerged one after another!
Unlike the Uzumaki Clan, where, both openly and secretly, across the old, middle, and new generations, only the Clan Head had reached that realm!
He also wondered if Masaji had successfully sealed the Three-Tails!
While Uzumaki Shigeharu was pondering, Genshi had already sent Kaguya Kami Hachiryu aside to deal with the Uzumaki Clan's Elite Jonin!
He himself slowly walked towards Uzumaki Shigeharu!
"Uzumaki Shigeharu! You shouldn't have come here!"
"If you had honestly guarded the surrounding islands, to avoid casualties and to confront the monster Uzumaki Ashina, perhaps we would have waited a bit longer!"
"But now, as long as we can completely keep you all here, no matter how strong Uzumaki Ashina is, he will be fighting alone!"
"Uzumaki Shigeharu! It is your arrogance that prematurely doomed Land of Whirlpools and the Uzumaki Clan!"
It must be said that Genshi was not only powerful enough, but he was also incredibly skilled at psychological warfare!
At least now, Uzumaki Shigeharu was already questioning his decision to launch a full assault on Mist Island!
"You're right! I failed to gather enough intelligence on you!"
"My decision might endanger Land of Whirlpools's situation!"
"But there's one thing you're mistaken about!"
"You alone cannot keep all of us here!"
Meeting Genshi's profound gaze, Uzumaki Shigeharu's expression gradually became resolute!
He seemed to have made a certain decision!
"Whirlpool Village Ninja, hear my command!"
"All of you, withdraw from the battle! Retreat from the Mist Sea! Return to the stronghold and defend!"
"I will personally buy you time!"
After Uzumaki Shigeharu casually threw out several scrolls, an invisible barrier centered on him spread outwards!
Any Hidden Mist Village Ninja caught within it felt their shoulders sink, and even their steps became much slower than before!
"No! Lord Masaji! We want to stay and fight with you!"
"We won't retreat!"
"That's right! Lord Masaji! We are willing to fight the Kirigakure scum to the death!"
"All of you, shut up!"
"Don't forget the rules of my Uzumaki Clan!"
"Heed my command! All retreat!"
"Otherwise, I will expel all of you from the Uzumaki Clan according to the clan rules!"
If not for the presence of this old man, Uzumaki Shigeharu would have had a seventy percent chance of severely injuring the Kirigakure of Mist Island and seizing Mist Island!
But now, Genshi's presence had completely turned the tide for Kirigakure!
Kaguya Kami Hachiryu, now unhindered, was a massive threat to any Uzumaki clansman present!
Was it still due to insufficient high-level combat power?
Under Uzumaki Shigeharu's stern gaze, the remaining Whirlpool Village Ninja retreated!
Uzumaki Shigeharu's final warning struck their weakness!
They could endure pain and accept death, but they could never accept being expelled from the Uzumaki Clan and becoming a nameless, rootless person!
Watching the retreating Whirlpool Ninja, there was no need for Genshi to say anything more!
Led by Kaguya Kami Hachiryu, the remaining two hundred-plus Kirigakure Ninja spontaneously launched a pursuit!
Although, their pursuit speed was significantly slowed due to the barrier released by Uzumaki Shigeharu!
"All of you, stop!"
"If you want to pursue them, you'll have to get past me first!"
A violent burst of wind instantly swept through everything around them!
After killing several Kirigakure Ninja, Uzumaki Shigeharu successfully halted the Kirigakure's pursuit!
"Uzumaki Shigeharu! You arrogant fellow!"
"Do you think you alone can stop us?!"
Behind Genshi, Kaguya Kami Hachiryu's face was grim as he stepped forward again!
His gaze at Uzumaki Shigeharu held boundless killing intent!
Ever since the Uzumaki Clan learned of the intelligence about Mist Island, Uzumaki Shigeharu had repeatedly, time and again, disrupted so many of his plans!
Today, he had even completely trampled his pride underfoot, in front of Genshi and many of his subordinates!
Such hatred! Such humiliation! Only death could end everything!
"Whether I can stop you or not, only trying will tell, won't it?"
With a cold laugh, Uzumaki Shigeharu removed the battle armor bestowed upon him by Uzumaki Ashina!
His long blade pointed directly at Genshi!
The meaning was self-evident!
This man, even knowing he would die on Mist Island, still wanted to do one last thing for Land of Whirlpools, Whirlpool Village, and the Uzumaki Clan before his death!
That was to test Genshi's limits!
"You wish to fight this old man?"
"Uzumaki Shigeharu! Good fighting spirit!"
"The Ninja World has been peaceful for so many years! It's been a long time since this old man has seen someone as interesting as you!"
"This old man accepts your challenge!"
"Kamihachiryū! Take your men and leave here!"
