Chapter 941: Esdeath Observes the Battle! (Combined Chapter)
"Clan Leader!"
"Clan Leader!"
The death of Ketsuryu Longya caused many Chinoike clan members on the battlefield to cry out in alarm.
This also created opportunities for many Uchiha clan ninja.
One after another, they killed or wounded their respective opponents, forcing the Chinoike side to suppress the grief and anger in their hearts and focus on dealing with the various incoming attacks.
They just didn't understand why Clan Leader Longya had died in combat?
The Clan Leader's Ketsuryugan dojutsu power was clearly enough to crush the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
Compared to the Chinoike clan members, many on the Uchiha side guessed the truth, their faces showing incredibly excited expressions.
Although the Mangekyo Sharingan had become a legend.
Since it was a legend, there would naturally be people who knew about it.
While they weren't clear about the instant movement ability that Clan Leader Fugaku displayed, that black flame was mentioned in the legend.
The Black Calamity Fire originating from the sun's core that could burn everything to ash and never extinguish!!
It is said that the reason Madara Uchiha was able to contend with the First Hokage back then.
It was because he had awakened a pair of the strongest heavenly eyes capable of seeing through the three worlds, possessing the Mangekyo Sharingan with earth-shattering supreme dojutsu!
Now their Clan Leader, Lord Uchiha Fugaku, had also awakened this strength!
"This is great, this is great!"
"With the Mangekyo Sharingan, our Uchiha clan will not only be the strongest prestigious clan in the Ninja World, but even under the World Government, we believe we will be the strongest prestigious clan!"
This was the exclamation of a jonin with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, his tone filled with pride and arrogance.
Well, they still didn't know that the Hyuga clan had gained a bloodline that came down from the moon with the Tenseigan.
They just didn't know whether this incomplete version of the Tenseigan or the Mangekyo Sharingan was stronger.
"Amaterasu!!!"
At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku, who had dealt with Ketsuryu Longya, flashed and leaped into the high altitude, ignoring the two lines of bloody tears on his face, and once again consumed a large amount of dojutsu power to ignite a straight line of black flame in the central zone of the Moryo Army.
All the stone statue soldiers that came into contact with the flame were instantly ignited into huge black torches under the sound of 'rumble, rumble, rumble', and then quickly turned into puddles of scorched earth emitting wisps of heat in an extremely short time.
Clearly, the power of this true 'Amaterasu' fire far exceeded its depiction in the 'anime', at least living up to its 'strongest fire release' setting.
However, facing such terrifying flames, the stone statue soldiers in the back row still marched in neat formation, stepping into the black sea of fire without any fear.
"Good! What powerful flames!"
"This is great, now no new stone statues will come!"
This scene made many Konoha and Iwagakure ninja who witnessed it with their own eyes ecstatic, repeatedly letting out surprised cheers.
This left many ninja in the back who hadn't seen the black fire confused, asking each other what had happened.
And when they learned the situation ahead, they joined the team of cheers without hesitation.
Everyone had truly had enough of this seemingly endless stone statue army.
They suspected that the piles of stone statue fragments they had destroyed in recent days, if accumulated, would be enough to form a mountain peak.
Now Clan Leader Uchiha Fugaku had freed them from this long ordeal with his strength alone.
However, this also caused the Chinoike clan ninja, whose retreat was cut off, to panic.
"What should we do?"
"Behind us is all black fire!"
Without the help of the Moryo Army, their numbers were simply no match for the Ninja Alliance Army.
Their original plan was to retreat after eliminating most of the Uchiha clan ninja.
Then they would take a detour to Konohagakure and kill all the remaining Uchiha.
But now their clan leader was dead, and their retreat was cut off.
Continuing the combat would definitely result in the death of everyone.
As for the fanatics of the Jashin Cult, they didn't care about any of this and were still charging madly at the front, fighting the ninja.
"Run!"
"While there are still many stone statue soldiers, quickly disperse and escape! Every one who can leave is one!"
Finally, a clan member with higher prestige gave the order.
"Yes!"
"Quickly retreat!"
This calmed the surrounding Chinoike clan ninja.
They used the tall stone statues to shake off the entanglement of the Uchiha ninja and fled with full strength towards the east and west ends.
The latter naturally wouldn't let them go easily.
They looked at each other and saw the fierce look in each other's eyes.
Although their ancestors had indeed wronged the Chinoike clan somewhat initially.
But the grudges between the two clans had developed to a point where they were incompatible like fire and water.
Given this, to prevent future trouble, they could only find a method for eradication.
"Chase!"
"Kill!"
The Uchiha clan ninja, their scarlet Sharingan blazing, turned into afterimages and chased after them.
The ninja from Konoha, Iwagakure, and other villages around them did not stop this scene, turning instead to surround and attack the fanatics of the Jashin Cult and the remaining stone statue soldiers.
"You Konoha bastards, you're celebrating too early!!"
Just when everyone thought the war was about to end.
A roar filled with strong hostility, like a tangible sound wave, swept in from the north.
Before they could react, they saw a bright radiance bloom on the horizon, and a thick, long purplish-black light pillar plowed a long earth pit across the earth of the Land of Bears.
At the same time, a deafening rumble echoed throughout the entire battlefield, causing Kakuzu and Jiraiya, who were engaged in a fierce battle in the distance, to instinctively stop and separate.
"Hmph, finally making a move~" Kakuzu sneered mockingly, "Really think you're the boss, just a worthless broken puppet!"
"Puppet?"
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and immediately saw a purplish-black meteor appear in the sky to the north.
"That is..."
On the other side, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the 'Amaterasu defense line' that had been broken into two sections with a heavy heart.
Although the light pillar just now had destroyed many stone statue soldiers along the way, the huge earth wave it stirred up had opened a gap nearly a hundred meters wide in the black fire, allowing the subsequent Moryo Army to continue advancing towards the Land of Wind.
If Uchiha Fugaku wanted to stop it, he would have to use Amaterasu again.
After all, he didn't have 'Kagutsuchi' and couldn't freely control the form of Amaterasu like his 'future' youngest son.
But he had already used dojutsu three times in a row.
One of which was a large-scale release of Amaterasu, causing more than half of his chakra to be consumed.
So Uchiha Fugaku really didn't want to continue using Amaterasu to block the Moryo Army.
Especially with another expert appearing on the opponent's side...
"Ah! That, isn't that the Sunagakure flying puppet?!"
Just then, some Iwagakure ninja began to recognize the figure hovering in the air.
A round head, round eyes, and a glowing slit as the eyes.
Although other aspects looked more ferocious or perhaps more luxurious.
For example, not only the rear of the legs, but also the back had two jet-like purple flames, and the entire body was wrapped in a misty black energy.
But its overall appearance was indeed in the style of a Roran puppet...
"Who are you!"
Uchiha Fugaku, who considered himself the strongest in practical terms present, wiped the bloodstain from his face and stepped forward without hesitation, shouting into the air.
"Hehehe, very well, I can't let you die without knowing who killed you..."
The figure in the air, suspected to be some kind of Roran puppet, replied coldly.
"I am Lord Hundred Legs, who should have become the King of Roran two years ago, but was stopped by your Konoha ninja using despicable means! Now I will make your Konoha pay the most tragic price for this!"
It turned out that he was Hundred Legs, the Sand Village rogue ninja who had traveled from the 'future' using the energy of the 'Dragon Veins', attempting to usurp the Roran royal authority under the alias 'An Lushan'.
Just as he said, two years ago, he was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, who had also traveled through time, using the 'Supreme Ultimate Rasengan'.
Of course, now because of the World Government, this Naruto Uzumaki is most likely from a parallel world that was not affected.
But no one expected that Hundred Legs had completely remodeled his body into a puppet long ago, with the only biological nature being his heart as the core.
That's right, just like 'Sasori of the Red Sand' in the 'canon'.
Originally, if no one interfered, Hundred Legs' core should have been buried under the ruins forever, until its energy was completely depleted and it met its destruction.
But in this world, it was very fortunately taken away by Black Zetsu in the shadows as a collection.
Originally, Black Zetsu didn't think of a method to utilize it.
It was only later, after successively meeting Shinno, Moryo, and Hiruko, that he brought it out and asked if they had a way to resurrect Hundred Legs to add an admiral to their side.
The result was also smooth. Moryo manufactured a body for him using stone material and infused it with a large amount of dark chakra.
Shinno then took out a small piece of 'Zero-Tails flesh and blood' to give him the ability to absorb human dark desires and convert them into energy for recovery.
Of course, both the absorption efficiency and conversion efficiency were far inferior to Shinno himself.
Finally, Hiruko injected the 'Puppet Technique' into Hundred Legs' core, allowing him to control Hundred Legs' consciousness at any time to prevent betrayal.
According to Black Zetsu.
Hundred Legs was the admiral prepared for Hiruko's future rule of the Ninja World.
This was also one of the reasons why Hiruko believed Black Zetsu.
But regardless, Hundred Legs was reborn.
The energy source changed from 'Dragon Veins' to 'dark chakra'.
Although this meant he no longer had endless energy, his range of activity was no longer subject to any restriction, and he no longer had to worry about someone shutting off the 'valve' from the source.
Also, his volume had become much smaller.
Compared to his body size of a hundred meters two years ago, he was now only about three meters tall.
This was a requirement specifically put forward by Hundred Legs himself.
Because that combat two years ago made him deeply realize the problem of becoming sluggish when the volume is too large.
If he had been more flexible back then, he might have had a chance to dodge that Supreme Ultimate Rasengan.
And now he was responsible for ensuring that this Moryo Army could successfully push to Lou Lan City.
Hiruko had promised him that after repelling the World Government and finding a way to kill Shinno, he would give Roran to him as his private nation!
That's right, Hundred Legs still couldn't let go of the position of King of Roran.
This seemed to have become his obsession...
And beneath this, was his hatred for the Konoha ninja.
He wanted to kill every Konoha ninja in his line of sight!
Just right, there were many, many here now...
"Go to hell, you Konoha bastards!"
The rage in Hundred Legs' heart completely turned into dark flames, spewing out from his puppetized mouth.
In an instant, a purplish-black fireball formed in the air, its scale far exceeding that of a normal Great Fireball Technique.
No, rather than a fireball.
From the viewpoint of the ninja below, it looked more like a purplish-black sea of fire wave that covered the sky and burned fiercely.
Just this display alone seemed much stronger than Kakuzu's fire release.
"Use a joint ninjutsu of Earth Release or Water Release!"
Kitsuchi, the commander of the Iwagakure side, immediately shouted a reminder.
All the ninja who heard him, regardless of whether they were Konoha or Iwagakure, as long as they could use Earth Release, including Kitsuchi himself, immediately stood at the front, while those who could use Water Release lined up behind.
"Earth Release: Great Earth Flow Wall!!!"
The next moment, amidst the sound of 'rumble', the earth began to shake violently, followed by a huge curved stone wall rising from the ground.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall Technique!!!"
At the same time, powerful water flow spewed out from the mouths of numerous ninja, quickly combining above their heads to form a giant bowl-shaped water wave protective shield.
[Boom!!!]
The purplish-black dark sea of fire, carrying scorching hot high temperature and terrifying power, heavily bombarded the double defense composed of the water wave and the stone wall from above.
Immediately, an earth-shattering great explosion was unleashed.
The resulting energy aftermath pressed down on the boiling air, forming a terrifying gale force wind.
Sweeping away large numbers of the nearby Moryo Army and the ninja who couldn't make it into the defense layer in time.
"What powerful strength!"
Although Uchiha Fugaku was outside the defense layer, the reddish-crimson energy bones that appeared around him blocked the fierce impact that came.
This was the first form of Susanoo!
In his current situation, he could only activate it to this extent, but he still had confidence in defeating Hundred Legs, as long as he had a chance to close the distance between them.
Because in Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan, he could clearly see the flow of Hundred Legs' chakra and the glowing core in his chest.
In his opinion, as long as he could penetrate that core, he could quickly end the combat.
The problem now was how to approach, as Hundred Legs clearly possessed high-speed flight ability...
"Oh, finally someone decent has arrived!"
While the battlefield was in a life-and-death struggle, everyone failed to notice a platinum spaceship hovering in the higher air.
On the wide deck, besides the armored knights responsible for guard duty and a few men in black, there were also several beautiful figures standing at the edge.
Among them, a blue-haired beauty, whose status, temperament, and appearance were clearly higher than the others, was holding a pair of binoculars, looking down at the raging battlefield below.
It was Im's Heavenly Empress, Esdeath, and the few people behind her were Hong Lian, Tsunade, Akame, Kurome, and the young Shizune.
They had actually arrived here long ago.
But Esdeath felt that no experts had appeared yet, so she had been observing from the sidelines, enjoying the war screen feed of this world.
For Esdeath, war was the best entertainment.
The otherworld war with its distinct styles fascinated her even more.
Among them, the joint ninjutsu of the ninja pleased her the most.
However, after a long time, the novelty wore off, and she began to feel bored, as the joint ninjutsu were just those few repeated ones.
Originally, she was ready to leave for the Land of Swamps, but she continued to observe because of Kakuzu's appearance.
But Kakuzu disappointed Esdeath.
For her back then, Kakuzu was certainly a strong opponent.
But for her now, he was a bit weak, and she had no interest in going down to exchange blows with him.
"Lord Esdeath, are you going to make a move?"
Hong Lian, wearing a pure white long dress, showed a Byakuren-like smile.
Speaking of strength, as a 'Super Dangerous Beast', she was the highest combat power here.
Of course, Esdeath was not weak either, possessing the strength of a top-tier admiral in the military.
However, there was still a certain gap in Haki compared to admirals of the 'admiral candidate' rank like Crocodile and Aramaki.
"Yes, it'll be him. Regardless, I have to fight a battle, I'm really feeling stifled!"
Esdeath nodded heavily, a cold glint flashing in her eyes as she stared at Hundred Legs.
"Then I'll give you a suggestion. It's best not to kill the opponent. I think this kind of special entity, whether it's the World Government or Lord Im, should be interested."
Hearing Hong Lian's soft suggestion, Esdeath raised an eyebrow, thinking that was indeed true.
She now had a certain understanding of Im's collection hobby.
So capture alive was definitely the best result.
"Lord Im..."
Tsunade behind her pondered the name of the person who was said to be Esdeath's husband and the supreme ruler of the World Government.
