Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 159 Xingxiaxiu VS the Third Kazekage! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

Rumble!
The five-element Dalian bomb hit the giant shield formed by sand iron, causing a loud roar and forming air waves that scattered in all directions, and the giant sand iron shield also shattered.

However, the Third Kazekage had already flapped his wings and flew into the air, avoiding the aftermath while launching an attack.

In addition to the dense sand iron bullets, the Third Generation Wind Shadow also condensed a giant sand iron cone to block Xing Xiaxiu's head.

however.

Xingxia Xiu avoided the sand iron bullet and punched out, knocking the sand iron cone directly away.

The other four clones flew at high speed, surrounding the Third Kazekage.

Wind Escape - Vacuum Jade!

Water Style + Lightning Style = Thunder and Water Dragon Bullet!

Fire Style - Big Flame Bomb!
Besieged and blocked from three directions, the Third Kazekage had no way to escape.

Sand iron defense!

Dense iron sand surrounded and formed a sphere, enveloping the Third Kazekage and forming an airtight absolute defense that blocked all the ninjutsu of the four clones.

However, Xingxia Xiu's real body fell from the sky at such a fast speed that it caused a sonic boom.

Bang!
Click!

A kick from the sky, with the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, the explosive power of the wind style chakra mode, plus the strange power of the chakra burst, the three combined made Shuichi Hoshita's power extremely powerful, and he kicked away the sand iron defense that could not be broken by ninjutsu.

"What? He actually used brute force to break through Master Kazekage's absolute defense!"

The Sand Ninjas watching the battle were extremely shocked.

The Third Kazekage was also surprised. Although he was kicked, 90% of the force of the kick was blocked by the iron sand defense, so he was not injured.

However, the clones of Hoshita Hide were always around, and the ninjutsu came one after another, leaving the Third Kazekage with no way to counterattack Hoshita Hide's real body. He could only fly in the air with his flexible body, controlling the iron sand to block all the ninjutsu of Hoshita Hide's clones.

Just like that, six figures danced in the air, and five kinds of escape techniques bloomed in Xingxiaxiu's hands, dazzlingly bright.

At this moment, Orochimaru and the others suddenly realized that besides Wood Release, Hoshita Hide could be so powerful.

It would be fine for strong men like Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo, but for many Konoha ninjas who lacked vision, the Third Kazekage had been completely suppressed by Hoshita Hide and was at a disadvantage.

How can this not be exciting?

But Orochimaru and the others could see that, except for the initial kick, Hoshita Hide had not yet touched the Third Kazekage, although his defense had been broken several times.

Even that kick did not hurt the Third Kazekage.

However, after a confrontation in the air, Xingxia Xiu also understood the combat mode of the Third Kazekage.

After losing two clones in succession, he used the remaining two clones to distract the enemy. His original body seized the opportunity, and from a high position, he unleashed a Wind Style Rasenshuriken, which hit the target with one strike, cutting through the iron sand defense. The rapidly expanding ball of light then enveloped the retreating Third Kazekage.

"This level of wind escape..."

Chiyo, Ebizo and other Sand Ninja jonin saw their expressions change drastically, and then they hurriedly reminded: "Back off!"

Rumble!
The storm swept in, and many Sand Ninjas who were caught off guard were blown away.

The same thing happened in Konoha on the other side.

After the storm passed, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the Third Kazekage in the sky.

There was a cracking sound, and cracks appeared on the Third Kazekage's skin.

Xing Xiaxiu looked at him with a fixed gaze: "Sure enough..."

Sand and iron fell down, and the Third Kazekage seemed to have lost a layer of skin.

This is the Third Kazekage using iron sand to give himself a layer of camouflage skin.

The Wind Style Rasenshuriken broke through the iron sand defense, but failed to break through this layer of iron sand skin.

"If I use Lightning Release..."

A thought flashed through Xing Xia Xiu's mind.

Lightning escape cannot overcome the outer layer of iron sand defense, but it can overcome the one that is close to the skin.

Therefore, there is no perfect ninjutsu.

This is the case with the Magnetic Release Kekkei Genkai and the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai as well.

His spore jutsu was ineffective against the Third Kazekage.

The Third Kazekage has a magnetic field around him, which is mainly used to defend against metal weapons, but it can also restrain the spore technique and disrupt his perception.

As a result, Xingxia Xiu has never been able to use the wood instant body to teleport directly to the Third Kazekage to launch an attack.

However, if he had been able to use the Wood Instant Body attack before, he would probably have been defeated by this layer of defense. The iron sand skin peeled off, but it quickly recovered.

The Third Kazekage was still in shock.

If it weren't for yesterday's assassination, he wouldn't have come up with this idea.

If this move was temporarily developed to defend against assassinations, he would probably have been seriously injured by the previous attack.

Yes, this trick of using iron sand to disguise itself as a layer of skin was developed temporarily because of Kato Dan's assassination.

If he had known this move earlier, Kato Dan's sword would never have been able to penetrate his body.

"It seems that the outside world has underestimated your strength!"

The Third Kazekage looked at Xingxia Xiu and praised him sincerely.

Xingxiaxiu smiled and said, "Your Excellency Fengying, thank you for the compliment."

"I admire Your Excellency Fengying's strength. I have gained a lot from fighting with You."

This is no compliment.

The Third Kazekage had extensive combat experience, and although he seemed to be at a disadvantage in dealing with his fierce attacks just now, he was actually not as embarrassed as he looked.

If I didn't have so little information about him, I wouldn't have kicked him.

"However, Lord Fengying must be careful next time."

Xingxiaxiu changed the subject and gave a kind reminder.

The Third Kazekage's eyes fixed on him. "The power of Wood Release?"

Xing Xia Xiu didn't say anything, but his two clones moved first.

One of the clones formed a seal, and water surrounded his body. Then, lightning flashed, and a giant dragon of thunder and water condensed and rushed towards the Third Kazekage.

"Do you want to use Lightning Release to counter my Sand Iron?"

The Third Kazekage saw through Xingxia Xiu's purpose, raised his hand, and condensed the iron sand into a huge cone that rushed towards the whistling Thunder Water Dragon Bomb.

Boom!

The two phases expanded, and the Thunder Water Dragon Bomb and the Sand Iron Cone collapsed to the ground together.

At almost the same time, another clone of Xingxia Xiu also completed the ninjutsu.

Illusion-The Art of the Heavenly Dream Walker!
The Third Kazekage's mind was disturbed, and he immediately became alert. He raised one hand and said, "Release!"

This is the strength of a shadow-level expert, there is no weakness.

However, the Third Kazekage, who was enveloped in a magnetic field, was inherently more resistant to illusions. Even though Xingxia Xiu's illusion skills were already very high, they could still be easily dispelled.

But at the moment of removing the illusion, Xingxia Xiu's real body had already formed a wind-style spiral shuriken in his hand, and then injected the power of molten shuriken.

Melting Release - Spiral Shuriken!
"Hmm, the Four-Tails' molten escape power?"

"It's not Wood Release..."

The Third Kazekage's expression changed. He didn't expect that in such a short time, Xingxia Xiu had mastered the Four-Tail's molten escape power.

The iron sand quickly surrounded him.

And Xingxia Xiu also threw out the molten spiral shuriken in his hand.

Although it is not blessed by fairy arts, it is still stronger than simple wind-style Rasenshuriken, especially against sand iron defense.

"What a wonderful ninjutsu!"

Looking at the high-speed flying Molten Release Rasenshuriken, Orochimaru was sincerely amazed.

He was curious about how Fengying planned to defend himself.

You know, we almost broke the last layer of defense before, and now, we must break the last layer!
Is there any other trump card?

Moreover, Orochimaru knew that Hoshita Hide had mastered the magic.

Since no magic was used, was this attack still a test of Fengying's trump card?
While Orochimaru was thinking, the Molten Release Rasenshuriken accurately hit the sphere formed by the iron sand and cut it straight through.

The Third Kazekage retreated, muttering, "Sand Iron Realm Technique!"

Almost at the same time, Xing Xiaxiu shouted, "Explode!"

At the moment when the Molten Release Rasenshuriken expanded instantly, iron sand quickly spread above Xingxia Xiu's head, forming a huge net. Then, dense iron sand shot towards the bottom in a whoosh manner, without any pattern at all.
