Chapter 66: Lion Ape (Part 2)

"Oh, it's Hanyu."

The Third Hokage waved his weapon in the air, directly interrupting the enemy's attack. He looked down and found that it was Hanyu's team he had just rescued... At this time, Hanyu was pulling Yasanagi's arm and carrying her on his shoulder.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Sand Ninjas opposite him, "...What a troublesome group of enemies."

The Hokage descended from the sky and stood alone between the Konoha team and the Sand Village enemies, then the huge iron pillar in his hand changed into an iron pestle as thick as a bowl, and after extending it to a certain length, he swung it forward fiercely, and the blunt weapon with such force forced back the enemies in front.

Just based on the weapon used by the Third Hokage, most people would not dare to use it without writing an application.

"Support from the Third Hokage? How did he get to this location?" Hanyu was a little surprised when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen falling from the sky.

"Clone... Well, I feel like it's a clone." Renjuro, who had just claimed that he had always been in control of the position of the Third Hokage, said in a doubtful tone... It seems that this guy's judgment can no longer be relied upon.

But regardless of whether it was a clone or not, the fighting power displayed by the "Third Hokage" was unquestionable. After forcing the enemy to retreat slightly, he formed seals with both hands, and then the ninjutsu was completed:

Earth escape·Earth flow river!

Then continue.

Earth Style·Fire Style·Earth and Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!

First soften the ground and turn the enemy's foothold into a swamp. After restricting their movements, follow up with a series of flaming balls. Ordinary ninjas have no strength to resist under such a combination of skills.

However, after the Sandaime released these ninjutsu in succession, his figure disappeared from the spot... Just as Renjuro said, it seems that the Sandaime who came to support was indeed just a clone, or to be more precise, a shadow clone.

So has this clone been recalled now, or has it simply run out of chakra?

Just as Hanyu was trying to determine the direction of events, a sudden commotion broke out on the other side of the Konoha front. The commotion was so loud that it drowned out all other sounds on the battlefield.

That was the direction where the Hokage had been before, and the sound was so sudden that Hanyu had to pay attention to it.

"Walk!"

Without saying anything, Hanyu immediately led his team to move quickly in the direction of the sound. He was somewhat worried that something might have gone wrong with the Third Hokage. However, Hanyu soon realized that his worries were unnecessary. Before the noise had subsided, the shouts of Konoha ninjas could be heard faintly.

He stopped, frowned and listened carefully, but because the sound was too noisy, he couldn't hear what was being shouted on the other end.

"What are they shouting?" Hanyu turned around and asked the team members. Ninjas started shouting on the battlefield, which was an abnormal situation no matter how you looked at it.

"It sounds like... 'shouting'?" Yasanagi carefully distinguished the chaotic voices , and then gave this answer to Hanyu's question.

"It's our people shouting?"

"That should be it?"

It sounded like the ninjas of Konoha were shouting, but due to the chaotic situation on the battlefield, no one could guarantee this. But then, it was confirmed because everyone's shouting became louder and louder, and more and more uniform.

Hanyu had no way of judging what exactly happened over there, but because the emotions of the Konoha ninjas began to become excited, he felt a little relieved... An event that could positively enhance the mental will and momentum of the ninjas on the front line should be an event that is beneficial to Konoha.

So Hanyu no longer hesitated, he led his teammates and rushed to the center of the noise, and when they arrived there, they found a somewhat strange situation - there were obviously a large number of Konoha and Sunagakure ninjas gathered here, but they were merely confronting each other and there was no fighting , and in the wide open space left between the two sides' lines, only the Third Hokage was fighting with another enemy.

"Is it the Kazekage?"

Hanyu asked his team members. He could not tell whether the enemy was the Kazekage or not from his appearance and physical features. After all, the first to fourth Kazekage were not the kind of characters that could leave a deep impression on people. In Hanyu's memory, the stories of this world did not focus much on the Kazekage, and more importantly, the previous Kazekage did not seem to have any external features worth noting.

But I think the person who can fight on equal terms with the Hokage should be the Kazekage.

As expected, Nagisa nodded and gave a positive answer, "It's the Second Kazekage."

The Third Hokage is fighting the Second Kazekage? This is definitely not because the two sides are seeking a fair one-on-one duel. You have to know that this is a battlefield, and no one would do such a trifling thing. However, when the Hokage and the Kazekage started fighting, perhaps because ordinary ninjas could not intervene in the battle between two Kage-level strongmen, in short, the scene gradually evolved into such a one-on-one battle.

Once the delicate balance is formed, it cannot be broken in a short time.

No matter whether they were ninjas from Konoha or Sunagakure, they certainly wanted to go down and help their Kage as soon as possible. However, the problem was that they were on guard against each other and no one could move rashly for a while. On the one hand, they were anxious about the safety of their leader, but on the other hand, they had to continue the confrontation. To be honest, this made both sides very anxious.

The reason why the Konoha ninjas cheered was because the Third Hokage took the initiative on the situation.

Judging from his appearance, the Second Kazekage was not considered old, but he should have passed his prime , and compared to him, the Third Hokage was much younger.

At this time, the Hokage had indeed gained the upper hand. The area where the two fought was still filled with traces of various escape techniques and ninjutsu, including water swamps, burning flames, and shining lightning...

The title of Hokage may not be suitable for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he should be called the Great Elementalist. Looking at the special effects he created, even if he suddenly said "I will destroy you in the name of the moon", it would be completely in line with his temperament... If you only look at it from a distance, that's it.

But in fact, at this time Sarutobi had his hair and beard standing up, and was full of fighting spirit. With his terrifying momentum and extraordinary fighting ability, he was suppressing the old-school Kage-level strongman who was of the same generation as the Second Hokage.

By now, everyone on this battlefield has to admit that, in terms of strength alone, Sarutobi Hiruzen is already a qualified successor to the Second Hokage.

The Third Hokage stood in front of him, while the Second Kazekage was half-crouching on the ground and gasping for breath. At this time, he was covering one of his thighs with one hand, and a kunai was stuck in that thigh.

Blood was oozing out of the wound.

"Will the future world be the stage for the younger generation? However... an old fellow like me will not be so willing to leave the stage." As he said this, the Second Kazekage pulled out the kunai from his leg and threw it to the ground with a clang. However, when he tried to stand up again, he found that his body was out of control - he froze in place.

His eyes moved down and saw black marks spreading from his legs.

"Is this... a curse binding technique?"

He understood in an instant that some kind of binding technique was activated when he pulled out the kunai.

The Third Hokage took a deep breath and continued, "Lord Kazekage, the battle I just fought was not just to mess around with you... The war should have ended long ago, and your death will become an important step towards peace."

At this time, the Sand Village ninjas also discovered the abnormality of the Kazekage, so they finally couldn't control themselves. In order to save the trapped Kazekage, they rushed to the battlefield together.

However, it was too late, because the Third Hokage was preparing to give his colleague and predecessor a magnificent funeral. Four shadow clones appeared on both sides of Sarutobi Hiruzen's body at the same time, and then they jointly launched an ultimate-level compound escape technique.

This was the unique skill that Hanyu had been dreaming about before the battle began, wanting to see it...

Five escape techniques: Five major consecutive bullet techniques.

Explosive flames, flood peaks, thunder, air rolls, and earth waves!

With indescribable power and a wide attack range, this ninjutsu instantly encompassed all the enemies in front of it...

This is true whether it is the Second Kazekage who is in the front and center, or the Sand Village ninja who is rushing over to rescue.
