Chapter 389: Gu Jie and Konoha Dragon God! The little brats of the three tribes!
"You damned Jinchuriki, let me show you the terror of Lord Manda from Ryūchi Cave…"
It was unclear whether Manda was eager to show his stance, or perhaps had a change of heart, sensing Orochimaru's sincerity.
With a roar, he twisted his massive serpentine body and charged directly towards Han.
"What a complicated fellow. Well then… Senior Orochimaru, I'll take my leave for now."
Noticing the approaching chakra signatures of Kitsuchi, Kari, and others, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: Sky God Strike!"
...Besides the battles of Ōnoki VS Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru VS Han, and the new generation's Fujiwara Tetsuya VS Kitsuchi and Kari... other parts of the battlefield also entered a white-hot stage... Many Konoha Ninja, whom Fujiwara Tetsuya had rarely encountered, unleashed unimaginable combat power in this war.
"Fire Release: Blast Whirlwind Dance!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Not far away, Uchiha Fugaku and Orochimaru's subordinate, Mitarashi, led two elite units, constantly advancing through the battlefield, crushing one elite squad after another, immediately drawing the attention of many Jonin and Elite Jonin from Iwagakure...
"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: Willow!"
As one of Konoha's most senior Genin, Kosuke was also among those Hiruzen Sarutobi conscripted to support the front lines in the Land of Rain... His proficient Water Release Ninjutsu, combined with the Illusionary Sword Style Kosuke had developed, allowed him to easily handle the encirclement of several Iwagakure Jonin.
"Damn it, where did this strange fellow come from?"
"Why have we never heard of him before... What are those useless intelligence systems even doing?"
Watching the constantly shifting and illusory sword shadows, several Iwagakure Jonin instinctively felt the threat of death... They jointly released a large number of Earth Spears, forming stone forests in front of them, temporarily creating distance from Kosuke... In another battle group, a swift figure rapidly advanced, and with every pause, an Iwagakure Ninja was inevitably sent flying.
"Konoha Dragon God!"
Under super high-speed rotation, a sharp tornado suddenly rose from the ground, directly sweeping several Iwagakure Ninja who couldn't avoid it... As a Ninja known for having Konoha's strongest Taijutsu, Chen Baojun's combat power, even in such a large-scale war, was far beyond what ordinary Elite Jonin could compare to.
"Teacher Chen... truly worthy of being Konoha's strongest Taijutsu Ninja!"
Not far away, Might Dai watched Chen Baojun continuously defeat Iwagakure's strong fighters, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
Compared to him, who had no Ninjutsu talent whatsoever... Chen Baojun was, without a doubt, the most perfect Taijutsu Ninja.
"Eight Gates: First Gate: Gate of Opening, Open!"
"Eight Gates: Third Gate: Gate of Life, Open!"
"Dynamic Entry!"
..."Aiko, don't rush too fast; it will disrupt our formation…"
On the right side of the battlefield, a small figure, after quickly killing an Iwagakure Genin, continuously charged towards the Iwagakure forces ahead, making the several youngsters behind her anxious.
These youngsters were the children of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans.
Since Uesugi Kazuharu and Fujiwara Tomomi died in that incident... in subsequent wars, three more children from the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans died in battles against the Hidden Sand Village... Seventeen people... Now, only Fujiwara Aiko, Uesugi Mako, Tanaka Miyako, Uesugi Yoshimi, Tanaka Donan, Fujiwara Nanamiya, Fujiwara Nobunaga, and Uesugi Tsuma remain alive.
Eight youngsters, plus Fujiwara Tetsuya, Tanaka Rina, Uzumaki Kyoji, Uzumaki Meika... and Tanaka Gintoki, who had just recently enrolled in the academy.
These were the Ninja of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans!
"Damn it, Konoha brats, don't get too arrogant…"
With a roar, a chilling killing intent instantly enveloped Fujiwara Aiko. An Iwagakure Jonin, after putting down his disciple's corpse, appeared behind Fujiwara Aiko with a kunai, seemingly ready to take Fujiwara Aiko's head the next second.
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: Empty Drop!"
At the critical moment, a resolute figure stood in front of Fujiwara Aiko, slicing the ambushing Iwagakure Jonin away with a single strike.
"It's Big Brother Kyoji…"
The person who arrived was Uzumaki Kyoji, active on the Land of Rain battlefield. After countless battles... Uzumaki Kyoji was no longer a youngster who had to rely on Fujiwara Tetsuya's protection to survive.
After turning thirteen, he also reached the Jonin level... "Aiko, you youngsters, when will you stop worrying Big Brother Tetsuya and me... This is a battlefield; a slight mistake could cost you your life."
Looking at the youngsters who had gathered around, Uzumaki Kyoji lectured Fujiwara Aiko while keeping his gaze fixed on the Iwagakure Jonin he had just repelled.
"Odagiri, come help me... I'm going to kill these damned Konoha brats!"
At the call of that Iwagakure Jonin, another Iwagakure Jonin burst into the battle, appearing before Uzumaki Kyoji, Fujiwara Aiko, and the others.
"Aiko, you all stay back. Enemies of this caliber are not something you can handle right now."
Looking at the two figures charging straight towards them, Uzumaki Kyoji's expression instantly became incredibly grim... Although he already possessed Jonin-level strength, he had only recently become a Jonin. Compared to these veteran Jonin who had endured countless battles, there was still a considerable gap... Fighting two against one... there was no chance of winning at all!
"Fire Release: Great Fire Extinction!"
The moment the two Jonin were about to reach them, a terrifying sea of fire spread from the south, instantly engulfing the two Iwagakure Jonin...
"Sister Mikoto…"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Uzumaki Kyoji's scalp tingled, then he sighed in relief.
"Kyoji, take Aiko and the others to the rear to rest and regroup. I'll handle these two enemies."
"Sister Mikoto... I'll stay and help you. These are two Jonin, after all…"
Under the gaze of Fujiwara Aiko, Uesugi Mako, and the eight others, Uzumaki Kyoji's voice trailed off. Facing those Three Tomoe eyes that seemed to possess endless magic, Uzumaki Kyoji lowered his head in defeat and obediently turned around, leading Fujiwara Aiko and the others to retreat to the rear... Faced with that overwhelming pressure from strength, spirit, and will... he truly lacked the courage to resist.
"Damn it... you bastards of the Uchiha Clan ~ Hiss, it hurts so much, it's so hot!"
"How dare you attack us. Even if you are from the Uchiha Clan, you are destined to die here today…"
"Is that so?"
Looking at the two Iwagakure Jonin who had emerged from the sea of fire, Uchiha Mikoto's expression showed no fluctuation... Her Three Tomoe eyes spun rapidly, and genjutsu was silently activated... In just a few seconds, the two Iwagakure Jonin, who had just been shouting, fell headfirst to the ground, completely losing their life force.
