Chapter 178 Is this guy crazy?
The battle has entered a fierce stage. Apart from the fierce fighting, the Land of Wind still has more than 300 elite ninjas. Although they may be slightly inferior to the ninjas of Konoha, they still have the advantage in numbers. At present, there are only the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan, and a few other small clans here, with a total of only more than 200 people.
As for the Hyuga and Sarutobi clans, they have other places to guard, so they probably won't be able to provide support in the short term.
This is only the Land of Wind, and after fighting for so long, they still don't have much of an advantage. Even though Retsuto is frustrated, Hashirama and Madara are more anxious than Retsuto.
After Madara threw another Fire Release technique, which was blocked by Retsuto, Madara's expression finally turned serious.
"Hashirama... if this continues, things might get complicated." Madara's tone was somewhat irritated, but he wasn't entirely confident of a decisive victory.
Hashirama's expression also turned sour upon hearing Madara's words.
Now, they only have one trump card left. This trump card was originally intended to increase their margin for error, but now only one enemy has come, and judging from Lie Dou's deadpan expression, it seems like he's been tricked. So, it's better to just... turn the tables and wipe out this group from the Land of Wind.
"There's nothing we can do. We've been fighting for so long, and the enemy still hasn't sent reinforcements. We don't know what they've been up to... We just hope... they've noticed."
Hashirama didn't speak directly; he and Madara were using cryptic language, which only the two of them could understand. Seeing that the two still had time to chat, Retsuto became somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.
He had been powerful in the Land of Wind for so long, and finally emerged to show the world his strength, only to be thwarted by that damned Uchiha brat and Senju brat. The worst part was that he was somewhat powerless to stop it; this realization made him lose face, yet he was helpless.
Lie Dou snorted coldly, his expression displeased, and said, "Hmph! You guys seem to be handling this with ease... I've been taking your moves for half the day, now it's your turn, isn't it? Let's see if you can withstand this move?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Retsuto's figure rapidly rose higher, and in the blink of an eye, he was already flying higher in the air, his arms outstretched and facing the direction of Hashirama's giant wooden figure, seemingly about to unleash a powerful attack.
If the Land of Wind ninjas had tried to retreat or defend themselves after Retsuto's wide-range ninjutsu attack, they would have done so now. But seeing Retsuto's current state, all the Land of Wind ninjas were horrified. They abandoned their opponents and began to flee in panic...
"What is that?" Ban asked, looking puzzled.
But he also knew that Lie Dou, that old bastard, seemed to be about to launch an indiscriminate attack, and judging from the aura emanating from him, this move might be a bit... difficult to defend against.
Originally, the power of the Fierce Wind Release should have been greatly reduced due to the turbulent airflow caused by the large number of Fire Release techniques and the massive fire created by the Uchiha clan ninjas. However, the wind that had just subsided is now rapidly gathering again...
The clouds on the horizon pressed down again, the sky darkened, and the surrounding sandstorm began to gather again.
"Ban, come here!"
Hashirama was startled and immediately manipulated the wooden doll to swing its arms, bringing Madara in front of him. Then, the wooden doll crouched down, trying its best to block Retsuto's attack range and protect the ninjas behind it.
Seeing that the opponent was about to launch an attack, Ban felt extremely annoyed.
However, it was clearly too late. Seeing this, the Konoha ninjas immediately used all their skills, especially the Senju clan ninjas, who began to frantically use their Earth Release ninjutsu to create defenses.
"I've thought it through. I might as well kill you all. Anyway, it's worth paying a price to take over this place." Lie Dou revealed a strange smile and glanced at the ninjas at his feet without any pity.
Whether it was the Konoha people rapidly unleashing ninjutsu for defense, or the ninjas from the Land of Wind desperately fleeing or trying to defend themselves with puppets, he saw no difference.
"Wind Release: Hurricane Spear!"
In an instant, all the air currents seemed to freeze, converging above Liedou's head into a spear of air currents about ten meters long. The spear, made of swirling gray air currents visible to the naked eye, contained enough chakra to destroy any living thing in front of it.
Whoosh! ! !
Retsuto threw the spear in his hand directly. In the blink of an eye, before he could even blink, the spear had already flown to within ten meters of Hashirama. He could even feel the stinging sensation of the airflow cutting into the tip of his nose.
Damn!
If you can't withstand this attack, you're doomed!
At that moment, he seemed to see his deceased father, and in that instant, he suddenly remembered a defensive ninjutsu his father had once used...
"Earth Escape: Ten Thousand Miles Earth Current Wall!"
Almost in the blink of an eye, Hashirama stepped directly onto the wooden dummy's head, and then a huge wall of earth, about a hundred meters long and several meters thick, rose from the ground, completely blocking everyone's view the moment the hurricane spear struck.
boom!
The violent wind spears crashed against the earthen wall, producing a series of teeth-grinding cutting sounds... But this was not the end, because Hashirama was now covered in sweat, and seeing that the defense was about to shatter at any moment, he mustered a burst of chakra and released another large area of wooden walls.
This wooden wall was even the same kind he used to build the walls of Konoha, capable of absorbing a lot of chakra and greatly reducing the power of ninjutsu. Although it wasn't as fast as Earth Release: Earth Wall, fortunately... Earth Wall blocked a considerable portion of the power, giving his wooden wall some buffer time to cover the area in front of him.
"Ah Ban!"
Hashirama shouted, but Madara didn't reply and immediately released his Fire Release.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
The next second, a huge wave of heat covered the wooden wall in front of them.
That's right, this is the same technique they used when building the city walls, slightly carbonizing the Wood Release material to increase its defensive strength... Although this method is almost a drop in the ocean and doesn't have much effect, as the saying goes, something is better than nothing.
The wind gun continued its relentless assault, spinning at high speed. After a futile half-minute of resistance, the wooden wall between the pillars finally succumbed to the ferocious attack and began to crumble...
"No way, this guy's Wind Release technique is actually this strong?!"
Madara's eyes were practically spitting fire, but before he could continue his rant, Hashirama grabbed him and swiftly jumped down from the wooden dummy's head.
Boom!
The wooden wall shattered with a crash, accompanied by a large amount of dust and dirt. The wind gun pierced the top of the wooden figure's head, and wood chips flew everywhere. The blast radius of the hurricane spear instantly covered most of the area.
A series of sharp, blade-like wind blades exploded, slicing violently across the ground, kicking up large amounts of dirt, rocks, and... severed limbs.
"what!!"
Screams echoed from behind, making Hashirama's heart pound and his blood pressure surge. He hadn't felt pain and anger in a long time, but now... he had desperately blocked the wind spear's attack, but even after dissipating a significant portion of its power, the aftershocks of the ninjutsu easily injured his comrades behind him. That feeling... was back.
Through the huge hole in the destroyed wooden wall, the pillar could see what kind of horrific scene lay on the other side...
Numerous fragments of puppets, blood and flesh remains, and clumps of mud mixed with dust and blood were scattered all over the ground. The wind blades left shocking marks, and if you looked closely, you could even see tiny scratches on the stones that had been instantly weathered.
"Madman... Has this guy gone mad? Aren't those people his comrades?" Hashirama muttered to himself. He couldn't understand why this guy would use such indiscriminate attacks.
However, Lie Dou now seemed to have lost his composure. He was somewhat weak and pale, clearly due to the excessive exertion from that move. Even his floating in mid-air was becoming unstable.
"You...you're really tenacious, even this couldn't kill you..." Lie Dou raised his eyes, his expression terrifyingly calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
