Konoha's Hextech Ninja

The water clones at sea, taking advantage of the ocean's terrain, used water-style techniques to sweep towards the large force of the Cloud Ninja.

The giant waves, hundreds of meters high, directly blew the Yunren fleet ashore, crashing onto the sand.

The warship, already battered from Yagami Yoruichi's previous sneak attacks, could not withstand such an impact and shattered into countless pieces on the spot.

The Cloud Ninja who hadn't even had time to disembark were also injured or killed in the impact.

Before the surviving Cloud Ninjas could even feel relieved, Yagami Yoru's main attack arrived.

The scorching flames rolled from the beach all the way to the sea surface, evaporating large amounts of seawater.

The scorching steam rose up, burning through the chakra defenses on the bodies of the Cloud Ninja, who let out terrible screams.

[Defeat an enemy hero to earn 200 gold.]

【…】

System notifications appeared one after another.

The explosion of thousands of explosive tags, while not causing significant damage to the Cloud Ninja, greatly diverted the attention of the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Their attention was immediately focused on protecting the Jonin beside them, and they failed to notice the weaker Cloud Ninja on the ship behind them.

In addition, in order to eliminate the risks on the shore, they brought the strongest group of Jonin ashore, which made it even more difficult for the majority of ninjas in the rear to deal with large-scale ninjutsu.

In just a short while, the Cloud Ninja had already suffered heavy losses.

More than a hundred Cloud Ninja were severely injured and rendered incapable of fighting by Yagami Yoruichi's two ninjutsu techniques, and dozens died on the spot.

However, before the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki could even react with anger, Sakumo Hatake had already charged in.

With a flash of light, in just a few leaps, two elite Jonin of considerable skill were killed on the spot.

Against an assassin-type ninja like Hatake Sakumo, who pursues ultimate offensive power, even the slightest weakness could lead to instant death.

Ninjas who haven't reached the same level aren't even qualified to fight him.

"Bastard! Die!"

The Third Raikage had already entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his entire body encased in lightning armor, and charged towards Sakumo Hatake.

Brubi also entered a half-tailed beast transformation state, with octopus tentacles growing from his body. While protecting the Cloud Ninja behind him, he swung his huge tentacles, which were hundreds of meters long, at the Konoha ninja in the distance.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Explosion!"

Yagami Yoruichi quickly formed hand seals, and two water dragons forcefully pushed up the giant octopus tentacles, smashing them to the side.

Meanwhile, the water clones at sea appeared among the Cloud Ninja by using the Flying Thunder God mark left on the Cloud Ninja.

A quick-reacting Cloud Ninja immediately raised his sword to slash at Yagami Yoruichi.

But Yagami Yoruichi's water clone had already raised her hand and unleashed a burst of chakra energy.

"The magic surged!"

Chakra exploded in the Cloud Ninja's body, instantly crushing his internal organs into a pulp.

The exploded chakra did not dissipate, but quickly attached itself to the hundreds of Cloud Ninja around them, forming a light blue halo on their bodies.

Ryze's E skill.

[Spell Surge: Launches a spell orb that damages the target and applies the 'Surge' effect to the target and surrounding enemy units.]

After killing a Cloud Ninja, Yagami Yoruichi did not pause for a moment. He shot out another ball of chakra from his hand, creating a blue and white energy ball.

[Overload: Unleash a magical explosion that deals spell damage to the first enemy hit. If the target has the 'Surging' effect, consume that effect and amplify the explosion to all nearby enemy targets with the 'Surging' effect. Passive: 'Runic Imprisonment' and 'Spell Surging' reset this ability's cooldown.]

Chapter 170 Instant Clearance! The Terrifying Power of Emperor Ruitian!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

[Overload] instantly detonated all the Cloud Ninjas who had been affected by the 'Surge' effect.

The horrific damage easily pierced through their chakra defenses, taking away their lives one by one.

With her exceptionally high skill speed, Yagami Yoruichi can refine and channel chakra at a speed that is unimaginable for ordinary ninjas.

Although it is an instantaneous release without any hand seals, it can still infuse a large amount of chakra into the [Overload] skill in less than a second, maximizing the skill's damage.

In addition, the 'Surge' effect will further increase the damage of [Overload].

A ninja without Kage-level strength and special defensive methods simply cannot withstand this sudden burst of power.

Even a Jonin would be severely injured in an instant.

Those below the rank of Jonin have virtually no chance of survival.

With just a simple 'EQ combo', the Cloud Ninjas around Yoruichi's clone were instantly wiped out.

More than eighty Cloud Ninja were killed.

More than a dozen Cloud Ninja were seriously injured and unable to even maintain their ability to walk on water, falling into the sea and struggling.

"Not counting the initial burst of water energy, the subsequent EQ combo used 20,000 chakra points, and the effect was quite good."

Yagami Yoruichi was quite satisfied with her results.

The more chakra infused into the E skill, the larger the range of the 'Surge' effect.

Injecting more chakra into the Q skill simply increases damage.

The combination of the two creates a terrifying effect on the battlefield.

For strong individuals with high individual strength, the effect may not be very good.

This was already proven when Yagami Yoruichi fought against the Third Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, it is very useful for clearing out large areas and quickly eliminating those 'minion'.

"This clone's chakra is almost depleted. We'll use taijutsu to kill a few more and then the mission will be complete."

Yagami Yoruichi's water clone drew a kunai and used the Body Flicker Technique to rush towards the nearest Cloud Ninja, who was seriously injured and had fallen into the water.

……

ashore.

Brubi's attack was completely blocked by Yagami Yoruichi.

However, with Burubi holding her back, Yagami Yoruichi's main body couldn't spare much energy to deal with the other Cloud Ninja.

At most, I would occasionally unleash a few ninjutsu techniques to give them some suppressive firepower.

The fight between Sakumo Hatake and the Third Raikage looked extremely dangerous, but it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

Although the main force of the Cloud Ninja was thrown into chaos by Yagami Yoruichi's water clones, some Cloud Ninjas quickly broke away from the group and fought against the Konoha ninjas.

As Yagami Yoruichi fought Burubi, his gaze swept across the battlefield.

In terms of the overall quality of ninjas, Konoha has a certain advantage.

However, the number of Cloud Ninjas was much greater. Even if only a portion of them went ashore to fight the Leaf Ninjas, their numbers were three to four times that of the Leaf Ninjas.

Overall, the Konoha ninjas are at a disadvantage.

It was all thanks to some exceptionally strong individuals who stood out from the crowd that they were able to maintain order and control the situation.

Far away.

Yuhi Shinku used genjutsu to control two Cloud Ninjas, and with the help of her teammates, she killed the enemies.

However, he himself was also targeted by a Cloud Ninja Jonin who was quite skilled. Under the opponent's swordsmanship, he could only retreat quickly and barely escaped the pursuit with the help of his teammates.

Akimichi Choza used the Super Multiplying Technique to transform into a giant, rampaging across the battlefield, but also becoming a target for many Cloud Ninja.

Kunai, shuriken, and a barrage of ninjutsu were all fired at Akimichi Choza, forcing him to defend with all his might and struggle to hold on.

Only when Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi found an opportunity to subdue the enemy and create an opening did Akimichi Choza have the strength to retaliate, smashing the enemy into a pulp with his huge iron rod.

However, the price was that after only a dozen minutes of fighting, Akimichi Choza was already covered in wounds and could barely maintain his Super Multiplying Technique.

The situation was similar for the other Konoha ninjas.

Several Konoha ninjas even died on the battlefield because they encountered enemies who were too strong or because they were not careful enough.

The Cloud Ninja are numerous and can afford to die.

Even if half of them die, it would still be a strategic win to exchange them for this group of Konoha ninja.

Konoha only sent a little over sixty people, so losing even one would be a significant loss.

"The profits are already pretty much there; it would be pointless to keep dragging this out."

A thought flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind, and he created a shadow clone, which used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive next to Nara Shikaku.

"We can retreat now," Yagami Yoruichi said quickly. "The Cloud Ninja have a very strong fighting spirit. If we continue fighting, we won't gain much advantage."

Before the battle, Hatake Sakumo handed over command of the battle to Nara Shikaku.

He had to deal with the Third Raikage himself and didn't have time to give orders.

If they wanted to retreat, they naturally had to discuss it with Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku's chakra wasn't much, and although the battle hadn't lasted long, the intensity was immense. The continuous release of shadow-type secret techniques had already left him exhausted.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Nara Shikaku nodded and said, "The Cloud Ninja's fighting spirit is much stronger than I expected, and their numerical advantage is too great. We really can't continue this entanglement."

"Yoruichi-kun, are you sure you can cover the rear?" Nara Shikaku asked Yagami Yoruichi.

Nara Shikaku had witnessed Yagami Yoruichi's performance in the previous battle.

Those massive ninjutsu techniques that covered the entire battlefield made Nara Shikaku's heart pound with fear.

In his view, even the tailed beasts, which are known as 'natural disasters', are nothing special.

Even the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, who ranked second among the Tailed Beasts, was suppressed by Yagami Yoruichi. Yagami Yoruichi even had the strength to create clones to kill and suppress other Cloud Ninja. She killed more than a quarter of the Cloud Ninja by herself, which was several times more than the combined achievements of all the other Konoha ninja.

Now, Nara Shikaku had no more doubts about Yagami Yoruichi's strength, nor about Hatake Sakumo's praise of Yagami Yoruichi.

The only concern is whether Yagami Yoruichi can hold on after expending so much chakra.

"If it's just covering the rear, no problem."

Yoruichi Yagami quickly replied, "I only used about half of my chakra. The remaining half is enough to cover the retreat."

"Only half used?" Nara Shikaku's eyes widened, but he quickly recovered and immediately said, "Then you use large-scale ninjutsu to suppress the Cloud Ninja's counterattack, and I will order a retreat!"

Yagami Yoruichi nodded and instantly left Nara Shikaku's side.

At the same time, Yagami Yoruichi's main body received the signal from her clone and created two more clones.

The three clones each carried approximately 30,000 chakra points, enough to unleash several large-scale ninjutsu attacks.

"Water Release: Great Explosive Water Shock Wave!"

"Earth Release-Earth Flow Wall!"

An earthen wall rose up, blocking the way between the Cloud Ninja and the Leaf Village.

A hundred-meter-high wave swept across the sea, crashing against the earthen wall and creating a surging backflow that pulled the Cloud Ninja, who was about to jump over the wall, back towards the sea.

Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Yagami Yoruichi to divide the battlefield, Nara Shikaku quickly ordered, "Everyone, retreat!"

Bang~!

A signal flare, indicating 'evacuation,' rose into the sky and exploded.

Even the Konoha ninjas who hadn't heard Nara Shikaku's orders could clearly see the signal flare.

One by one, the Konoha ninjas quickly moved towards the Ino-Shika-Cho trio's location, completing their assembly within half a minute, and then swiftly fled inland.

Only Yagami Yoruichi and Hatake Sakumo were left to cover the rear.

"Damn Konoha ninja, don't even think about escaping!"

Brubi was furious. His huge octopus tentacles slammed against the earthen wall, smashing a huge hole in it.

They were about to give chase.

One of Yagami Yoruichi's clones immediately stepped forward and unleashed two bursts of high-density chakra energy.

"The magic surged!"

"Rune Imprisonment!"

Given the amount of chakra and strength of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, a 'Spell Surge' would cause him negligible damage.
