Chapter 190
"Retreat."
Looking at the direction where the red light flashed again, Ohnoki glanced at the surroundings and Tsunade and the others who were vaguely surrounding him. Although he was unwilling, he still gave the order.
He had already seen the situation clearly. At this point in the war, he had no extra strength to waste.
If he cannot escape from the battlefield successfully, he might have to die here under the beating of Orochimaru and his men.
He and Huangtu each created an earth clone, which helped up the seriously injured rock hermits around them. After using the light and heavy rock technique to reduce their weight, they applied healing talismans to them and led them to retreat.
Orochimaru and Tsunade, who had surrounded him, also saw that Ōnoki wanted to leave the battlefield, and immediately sped up their pace to surround him.
Ohnoki was naturally very clear that Orochimaru and the others would not easily allow him to escape from the encirclement and take Iwagakure away from the battlefield.
"loess!"
Ōnoki shouted, and Huangtu, who was retreating with him, was also very clear that they would face pursuit if they evacuated.
Earth escape: Earthquake Core!
Huang Tu quickly formed seals with his hands, and as he completed the seals, the ground beneath his feet rumbled up more than ten meters from the ground.
By the time Orochimaru and his companions climbed onto the raised ground, the area behind them had been transformed into a maze-like structure with varying heights by Ohnoki's earth-style ninjutsu.
Orochimaru's eyes quickly scanned the overlapping layers of earth-style walls, and he released his perception to explore the chakra and soul fluctuations of Ohnoki and the others.
Earth escape ninjutsu has a unique advantage in shaping terrain and buildings. They can quickly build fortresses and carry out defense, or attack.
When necessary, you can use it to block the opponent's sight and buy yourself time to escape using earth escape ninjutsu.
"Don't even think about running away! Earth escape: Earth Flow Cut!"
Orochimaru quickly locked onto a certain area, jumped down from the raised ground, quickly formed seals with his hands in mid-air, and slammed his palms heavily on the ground when he landed.
Click!
Tiny cracks snaked forward along the palm of Orochimaru's hand. After reaching a certain area, the ground suddenly cut it in half like a pair of scissors.
This earth escape ninjutsu requires sensing the direction of the underground dragon veins, and using the dragon veins flowing under the earth to cut the earth and raise it.
It is essentially an earth-style ninjutsu that uses chakra to communicate with the dragon veins and draws on their power, and it is very powerful.
The ground rolled over, and towards the cracked ground, Oonoki and others were revealed who jumped out from the ground.
Earth escape·Rock Cannon!
Several stones like cannonballs were spit out from the Iwagakure's mouth. The stones swelled in the wind and turned into solid cannonballs, carrying the sound of whistling wind and attacking Orochimaru and his companions who were chasing them.
Multiple red fire cannons!
The shadows around Lu Nie also released ninjutsu accordingly, detonating the attacking rock cannons one by one.
The remaining fish that escaped the net posed no threat to Orochimaru and his companions.
Orochimaru and his companions walked straight through the rubble and dust raised by the explosion, and then they saw Huang Tu in the distance bending down and grabbing the lifted ground next to him. With a deep shout, he actually lifted up a huge rock with just a shake of his hand.
The tall figure of Huang Tu looked like a bug in contrast to the rock he lifted up, which was extremely inconsistent, but in terms of visual impact, it was particularly shocking! Earth Escape: Tuling Tuanzi.
Huang Tu threw the huge piece of rock towards Orochimaru and the others.
The oval-shaped rock was so huge that it blocked out the light from the sky, and a shadow fell from the sky.
"Let me do it, Tsunade-senpai!"
Seeing Tsunade wanted to step forward, Shisui quickly spoke and moved forward instantly. The Sharingan in his eye sockets instantly switched to a Kaleidoscope. The tall emerald green giant rose from the ground, waving the spiral sword in his hand, splitting the huge rock that was smashing over into two.
The cut boulders flew to both sides, and Shisui's weapon had been changed to a longbow.
Bow and arrow.
The arrow flew out of the bow.
Ōnoki reacted extremely quickly and pushed his hands forward. A huge Dust Release cube rolled forward from his palms and collided with the arrow shot from Susanoo.
The arrow was instantly annihilated by the power of Dust Release, along with the power of illusion attached to it.
After the sense of crisis in his heart dissipated, Ohnoki breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the emerald green giant with fear, and quickly retreated with Huangtu and the others again, rising into the sky.
After missing the first attack, Shisui's Susanoo changed again. Heavy armor appeared on top of the Susanoo, and a round hole on the chest opened up, facing Oonoki and others in the sky.
Dense emerald green arrows poured out from the circular hole, and the dense rain of arrows covered a large area of Onoki and others in the sky.
Ohnoki saw the rain of arrows coming from below and gritted his teeth secretly. His short body floated to the front and he condensed the power of Dust Release on his palm again. Then, he expanded the cube-shaped Dust Release and used it as a shield to block in front of them.
The rain of arrows and Dust Release collided again, and the Dust Release that was rolling in the same direction annihilated the wave of rain of arrows along the way. Ohnoki and his clone took the opportunity to pull Huangtu and the others and rose a distance again.
"Don't chase them anymore, go and deal with those Iwagakure."
Orochimaru did not feel frustrated as he watched Ōnoki and the others become small black dots and gradually disappear from his sight.
In fact, this was the first time he had the upper hand in a battle with Ōnoki. In the past two years, he had done his best to hold on and contain the opponent.
If he hadn't had enough means to save his life and used group attack tactics, his name might have been written on Konoha's memorial tablet long ago.
Ōnoki was obviously rushing to the battlefield to command Iwagakure to retreat. If they could make it in time, they might be able to see the enemy and contain them.
But no matter what the outcome of the battle here is, as long as Namikaze Minato destroys Kanmubi and the supplies of the Iwagakure garrison stationed next to him, Ōnoki may have to consider withdrawing his troops and negotiating peace.
After all, the war has proceeded to this point, and both sides have almost invested their last bit of strength. In this high-pressure environment, if any side makes major mistakes or suffers losses, the situation will be like a taut string breaking, causing the tense situation to take a sharp turn for the worse.
At that time, unless Ohnoki is crazy, choosing peace talks and ending the war will be the most likely and most likely option.
By then, the war will still not be over, but the pressure on Konoha will be greatly reduced. Without having to fight against the two major ninja villages, the pressure on Konoha has been greatly reduced.
