Chapter 541 Monster!
Minato immediately shielded her behind him, keeping a watchful eye on what lay ahead.
The fog surged rapidly, enveloping nearly half the battlefield in the blink of an eye. Within the rolling thick fog, two enormous shadows loomed in and out of sight. Their outlines were indistinct, but even their blurry shadows gave one a suffocating feeling of being crushed by a mountain.
monster!
The word popped into everyone's mind at the same time.
White Fang didn't make any rash moves. He simply gripped his short sword tightly, raising his chakra to its maximum. He knew that the enemy he was about to face would be the most terrifying existence he had encountered since stepping onto the battlefield.
Before anyone could see the true form of the two enormous shadows, two completely different yet equally massive and nauseatingly evil chakra burst forth from the thick fog!
One was a red chakra filled with the scorching heat and violent aura of lava, while the other was a blue chakra as hot as steam, with corrosive and frenzied properties.
These two inhuman chakras rapidly converged, compressed, and spun in the air, eventually forming two highly concentrated chakra energy balls with diameters exceeding several meters in the horrified gazes of all the ninjas!
That form was clearly the prototype of the Tailed Beast Ball, the most iconic and destructive attack of the Tailed Beasts!
Although its size and density are far inferior to a real Tailed Beast Ball, the terrifying energy it contains is enough to make any Jonin present feel their hearts pound.
"Oh no!" White Fang's pupils shrank sharply.
Without any hesitation, two chakra spheres filled with destructive aura, trailing long tails, tore through the air and emitted piercing shrieks. They attacked from the left and right, forming a pincer movement, and blasted towards the most dazzling existence on the battlefield—Hatake Sakumo!
On the battlefield, the wind howled and the air was thick with the chilling atmosphere of death, permeating every inch of the scorched earth.
Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, his name itself carries an unparalleled sense of oppression. He simply stood there, and the short sword in his hand, gleaming with a ghastly white light, seemed capable of slicing through the fighting spirit of every Iwagakure ninja.
However, the fighting force that Iwagakure has dispatched this time is a terrifying combination capable of shaking the entire ninja world.
“Something’s not right…” A Jonin from Iwagakure, codenamed Zhang Hai, who was in charge of battle analysis, had cold sweat pouring down his forehead. His gaze was fixed on the two figures fighting against White Fang on the battlefield. “The information given by the Tsuchikage was to use the Lava Release of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, to hold them off head-on and then look for an opportunity… But that guy covered in steam armor is Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki! Both of our village’s tailed beasts have appeared here at the same time!”
Zhang Hai instantly understood the Earth Shadow's intention. This wasn't a restraint; it was a deadly trap!
"Old Purple! Han! Now!" Zhang Hai roared hoarsely, relaying the Earth Shadow's order to the center of the battlefield.
Almost simultaneously, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, understood each other perfectly. They stopped their physical attacks on Sakumo Hatake, leaped backward, and clasped their hands together in front of their chests.
"Roar--!"
Amidst a deafening roar, two distinct yet equally destructive streams of chakra began to coalesce frantically. One black, one red, the yin and yang chakra swirled at a perfect ratio, ultimately forming two suffocatingly dense, jet-black energy spheres—Tailed Beast Balls!
The two Tailed Beast Balls, like two black suns, hovered in mid-air, their gravitational pull even causing the surrounding rubble to slowly rise into the air. The overwhelming pressure sent a chill down the spines of all the spectators.
"It's over, Konoha's White Fang!" Zhang Hai's eyes gleamed with fanaticism. "No one can withstand two Tail Beast Balls at the same time!"
However, faced with this seemingly hopeless situation, Hatake Sakumo's face remained as calm as ever. His eyes were like a bottomless pool of cold water, clearly reflecting the two whistling orbs of death hurtling towards him.
"too slow."
He uttered three words calmly. The next moment, he moved.
There were no complicated hand seals, no earth-shattering aura. He simply held the short sword called "White Fang" horizontally in front of him, pouring a massive amount of chakra into it, and the blade instantly extended several meters into a dazzling white light. That light was not warm, but carried a sharpness and decisiveness capable of severing everything in the world.
Just as the two Tailed Beast Balls were about to hit him, a white lightning bolt ripped through the dim battlefield.
"White Fang Blade Technique: Flash!"
Tsk-!
The sound, like cloth being torn by a sharp blade, clearly reached everyone's ears. The two Tailed Beast Balls, containing terrifying energy, were cleanly and decisively split in two from the very center the moment they came into contact with the White Fang Blade's aura!
Time seemed to stand still for a moment. Everyone witnessed the incredible sight—two black energy spheres were sliced in half by a white line, flying away into the distance, grazing the sides of White Fang's body.
Immediately following was a violent explosion after a period of deathly silence.
Boom——! ! !
An explosion a hundred times more powerful than any previous clash of ninjutsu occurred. The two split Tailed Beast Balls detonated simultaneously not far behind White Fang, unleashing a terrifying energy storm that transformed into visible shockwaves that spread wildly in all directions. The earth was ripped apart, the sky was dyed a ghastly white, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the air, as if a god had raged.
However, just as everyone's attention was drawn to the earth-shattering explosion, an old and cold figure silently appeared at the edge of the smoke and dust, his hands already clasped together.
The third generation Tsuchikage, Onoki.
This was the moment he had been waiting for. White Fang had just completed his astonishing slash, and his old power was exhausted, his new power had not yet been generated, and his attention was distracted by the explosion!
"For the village's victory, any means are necessary. Talking about a sneak attack in front of an enemy of this caliber is the most foolish thing to do." Onoki's expression was indifferent, his heart undisturbed.
"Dust Escape·The Art of Original Realm Peeling!"
There was no sound, no light, only a semi-transparent cube made of chakra that instantly formed, precisely enveloping Sakumo Hatake, who had just regained his footing and was still in the aftershocks of the explosion!
"What?" White Fang's pupils contracted. He immediately sensed something was wrong. This was no ordinary barrier; the chakra within his body was being broken down and stripped away at an alarming rate! He could clearly feel his power rapidly draining away.
Without hesitation, he swung his short sword, the sharp blade striking the inner wall of the cube. However, the strike, powerful enough to cut through a Tailed Beast Ball, only created a ripple, leaving not even a crack.
