Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 288 Yao Escape: Flame Demon!

On the cliffs on both sides of Thunder Valley, countless Cloud Village ninjas stood densely packed.

However, faced with such a scene, Aoba not only remained calm, but even looked around with great interest.

Hmm, it seems that Yunyin values ​​him very much!

There are so many people, enough to start a war to wipe out a village.

The group of Cloud Village ninjas at the front slowly parted to the sides, revealing those behind them.

They are none other than the strongest fighting force in Kumogakure right now—the Abby brothers!

Right between the two of them was a large yellow jar that was more than half a person's height.

The moment Aoba saw the large jar, her eyes lit up and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Amber Vase!

That was also one of the goals of his trip.

One of the sacred artifacts left behind by the Sage of Six Paths. As long as you call out the name of the person you are talking to, and they respond, they will be forcibly sucked into the bottle and sealed away.

He had originally planned to personally plunder the treasure vault of Kumogakure after defeating the Raikage, but he never expected these guys to be so considerate, delivering the treasure directly to his face.

"This saves him from having to make another trip."

Seeing that Yamashiro Aoba was surrounded by thousands of Cloud Village elites, yet not only was he not afraid, but he could even laugh, a surge of anger rose in Raikage's heart.

"That bastard! He's about to die, and he still dares to laugh so happily in front of their Cloud Village army!"

"They're completely disregarding Kumogakure!"

It must be admitted that Yamashiro Aoba is excellent. It is certain that, given enough time, this guy will grow into the next Senju Hashirama.

The second God of Ninjas!

Unfortunately, this guy is too arrogant, so he must die today!

Just like the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, back then.

Today, you, Yamashiro Aoba, will follow in the footsteps of Senju Tobirama and die here!

Pay the price in blood for your arrogance!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lei Yingai ripped off the sealed lid from the top of the amber bottle, mustered his strength, and shouted loudly.

"Yamashiro Aoba!"

The sound was like a booming bell, echoing endlessly in the valley.

Aoba could feel an invisible force seemingly locking onto him.

"Is this the power of the amber vase?! And this feeling—it seems so familiar!"

however.

Aoba remained completely unmoved.

He stood quietly in place, a hint of undisguised sarcasm and mockery on his lips, looking the Fourth Raikage, A, up and down with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.

Raikage: "————"

The valley fell into an eerie silence.

Raikage felt a vein throbbing on his forehead, the atmosphere becoming extremely awkward.

Tu Tai's pupils contracted sharply, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood the problem.

"Oh no! The intelligence has been leaked!"

Tu Tai made a quick decision and raised his hand to give the signal.

Wow!

In an instant, dozens of figures flew out from all directions and landed in specific positions around Qingye, quickly forming a neat formation.

These people simultaneously formed hand seals and slapped the ground with their hands!

hum!

The earth trembled slightly, and a blue hemispherical barrier rose from the ground, like an inverted giant bowl, completely enveloping the area where Qingye was located.

"Lord Raikage! Information about the Amber Purification Bottle has been leaked!"

Tsuchida strode over to the Raikage and explained, "Yamashiro Aoba obviously knows the conditions for triggering the seal, so he won't respond."

Raikage's expression changed, but he immediately let out a cold snort.

"Fortunately, we still have a backup plan!"

Inside the barrier.

Qingye raised his head and looked at the blue light shield that enveloped him with great interest, without the slightest panic on his face.

"They even sealed off the sky to prevent me from escaping? That's quite a thorough preparation!"

Just then, a large number of Cloud Village ninjas surged forward and stood outside the barrier.

They formed hand seals simultaneously.

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball Technique!"

"Lightning Release—"

It's sizzling!

In an instant, blue and white lightning lit up the valley, and hundreds of lightning-style ninjutsu poured out like a torrential rain.

Aoba was initially a little surprised. This barrier was meant to trap him, so what was the point of people outside casting ninjutsu on it?

However, the next second, his expression changed slightly.

Those lightning-style ninjutsu actually pierced through the barrier wall and hurtled towards him without any obstruction.

"???"

Aoba showed the same confused expression as the black guy.

"No, it can even pass through in one direction?!"

That doesn't make sense!

It's sizzling!

A dazzling blue lightning bolt instantly erupted from Qingye's body.

[Lightning Release: Activation]

Open!

His figure darted rapidly through the dense lightning attacks within the barrier.

Boom boom boom boom!

A dense barrage of lightning-style ninjutsu bombarded the ground, shattering countless rocks and raising clouds of dust.

While dodging at high speed, Qingye's figure also flashed to the edge of the barrier, his right fist clenched tightly, and he slammed the barrier heavily with a simple punch.

Boom!

A muffled thud was heard, and the surface of the barrier rippled before quickly returning to normal.

"That's interesting."

Aoba silently assessed the situation.

Outside attacks can get in, but inside attacks can't get out; there's actually such a barrier.

It's practically designed specifically for trapping and killing.

Lightning Release ninjutsu relentlessly penetrated the barrier and bombarded the area. Despite this carpet bombing, Aoba was inevitably hit.

Although Aoba instantly turned into magma to negate the damage, her outer garment suffered repeated damage and became tattered.

"Got it! Keep going!"

"Yamashiro Aoba is nothing special!"

Seeing Aoba's slightly disheveled figure, the Cloud Village ninja outside the barrier were immediately invigorated.

"Interesting—a one-way barrier that only allows entry but not exit? But the principle behind it doesn't seem right."

Aoba pondered for two seconds, then formed hand seals and unleashed a ninjutsu.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

Earth-based attacks cannot break the barrier.

Aoba's expression remained unchanged as he continued to use other ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A blazing fireball rapidly expanded and slammed into the barrier wall, but the barrier remained completely unmoved.

"Try this one!"

Aoba withdrew his hand, and his right arm suddenly changed. His hard skin transformed into surging crimson magma, which quickly condensed into a giant lava fist several times larger than the original.

"A massive fireball!"

Boom!!

Aoba unleashed a punch, causing the entire barrier to tremble violently and crack in the ground, yet the barrier itself remained intact.

"Hahaha!"

Outside the barrier, the Raikage finally revealed a triumphant smile. "Yamashiro Aoba, it's useless. Don't struggle anymore. This barrier was specifically developed for you. If you—"

Aoba withdrew her arm, which had returned to its original state, and looked at the intact blue barrier. Instead of being anxious, she raised an eyebrow with interest.

However, just as the Raikage was feeling smug, Aoba suddenly raised his right hand inside the barrier.

A faint blue arc of electricity danced at his fingertips.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent".

Several electric snakes shot out from his fingertips and flew towards the barrier wall.

It's sizzling!

The electric snake passed through the barrier without hindrance and struck the Cloud Village ninja outside with precision.

"what!"

Several screams rang out.

Aoba's lips curled into a smile.

"So that's how it is. This barrier doesn't protect against lightning attacks; it's truly a brilliant design!"

Raikage looked at his fallen subordinates, his face instantly turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Damn it, we were found out so quickly!"

Inside the barrier, Aoba had already begun her counterattack.

Numerous lightning bolts shot out from the barrier, forcing the Cloud Village ninja outside to divert their attention to defense.

"Raikage-sama!"

Tu Tai said in a deep voice, "He has discovered the weakness of the barrier. Continuing like this won't work; we must implement the next step of the plan!"

The Raikage gritted his teeth and waved his hand, saying, "Attack!"

"Switch to the second operational plan!"

Tu Tai gave a stern order.

The Cloud Village ninjas, who were originally using different ninjutsu, instantly stopped their scattered attacks and began to coordinate their movements.

Dozens of people simultaneously formed hand seals.

Same hand seals, same rhythm, same ninjutsu.

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

Hundreds of sharp lightning spears blasted into the barrier.

Boom!!

The entire Thunder Valley was shaking violently, and the dazzling blue-white lightning illuminated the area within the barrier as if it were daytime.

But it's not over yet.

"Second wave! Ready—release!"

Another volley.

This time, there were more ninjas involved, and the power was even greater.

The combined Lightning Release ninjutsu no longer resembled a single ninjutsu; it was beginning to resemble the rudiments of the Allied Shinobi Forces' technique from the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original work!

Rumble!!!

Terrifying lightning energy raged wildly within the barrier, its power so great that even the ninja maintaining the barrier was sweating profusely.

After several rounds of bombardment, the smoke dissipated, and a huge crater more than ten meters deep was blasted into the ground inside the barrier!

The giant pit was completely empty.

Even the lava has completely disappeared.

"Did you...did you get rid of it?"

A Cloud Village ninja swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice.

Raikage stared intently at the large crater, without relaxing for a moment.

However, just when everyone thought the situation was settled.

Glug glug glug glug

Suddenly, a wisp of black smoke rose from the once silent bottom of the pit.

Immediately afterwards, a gush of magma erupted like a fountain.

Within the churning pillar of lava, a familiar figure slowly emerged.

Aoba twisted his neck, producing a crisp cracking sound.

"Not bad, a combined ninjutsu technique!"

Aoba removed his tattered outer garment, revealing his strong muscles underneath.

"However, if this is all you have up your sleeve—"

The smile on Qingye's face gradually faded, replaced by an extreme killing intent.

That would be incredibly disappointing.

His gaze swept past the crowd and landed directly in Lei Ying's eyes.

"Is there anything else?"

Qingye's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly carried throughout the entire Thunder Valley.

"Can you make me even more excited?"

mad!

Extreme arrogance!

Surrounded by thousands of elite Cloud Village warriors, and with the support of the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, this man was still complaining that they weren't strong enough!

"asshole----"

Lei Ying Ai's teeth were grinding together, his fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

"That bastard—"

Raikage gritted his teeth and forced out a few words.

Aoba coldly surveyed the Cloud Village members outside, a chilling smile curving his lips.

However, when Qingye's indifferent gaze swept over them, the elite Cloud Hidden warriors in the front row involuntarily took a half step back!

The formation of the Hidden Clouds showed a very obvious sign of panic and wavering.

That was fear stemming from a biological instinct!

It was fear of the monster before them, a monster beyond the comprehension of common sense!

"Stay calm! Everyone stay calm!"

Several Cloud Village Jonin shouted at the top of their lungs, trying to regain their morale, but their slightly trembling legs betrayed their true thoughts.

Physical attacks were ineffective, lightning ninjutsu was ineffective, and even a combined bombardment of that magnitude couldn't harm the opponent in the slightest.

How can we fight this war?!

The earthen platform standing next to the Raikage also had an unprecedentedly solemn expression.

He knew all too well the importance of morale to an army.

If Yamashiro Aoba continues this psychological pressure, this army of several thousand people will probably completely lose the courage to fight!

Tsuchikage turned his head and gave Raikage a deep look.

Although the Raikage was furious, as the Kage of a village, he also understood the current situation and nodded heavily.

Having received permission, Tu Tai acted decisively, waving his hand sharply and loudly issuing the order.

"Barrier team, maintain output! First wave, retreat!"

"Sealing team! Advance immediately!"

With Tsuchikage's order given, the Cloud Village ninjas who had been surrounding the barrier were relieved and quickly retreated.

Instead, a group of Cloud Village ninjas carrying huge scrolls appeared.

They were well-trained and moved in unison, quickly taking up specific positions outside the barrier, spreading out the huge scroll on the ground, and beginning to rapidly form hand seals.

Dense black sealing runes began to spread across the scroll.

Inside the barrier.

Aoba raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched the mobilization of personnel outside and the sealing squad ninjas rapidly forming hand seals.

"A sealing technique?"

Qingye spoke softly, but her tone held a hint of seriousness.

"The reaction was quite quick. If it's a sealing technique, it could indeed pose a threat to me."

Conventional physical attacks and ninjutsu bombardments are almost meaningless to him.

But sealing techniques are different.

Even Kaguya could be sealed away, let alone him.

"but----"

A cold smile curled up at the corner of Qingye's mouth again.

"Aren't you mistaken about something? I haven't even done anything yet—"

Aoba raised his hand and began to form hand seals.

"What is he going to do?!"

Outside the barrier, Tu Tai's pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.

"Quickly! Speed ​​up the sealing process!"

Tu Tai shouted at the top of his lungs.

The sealing team ninjas were covered in sweat, desperately channeling their chakra into the scrolls in their hands.

However, it was all too late.

Aoba slammed his hand hard on the ground.

"Radiant Release: Flame Demon!"

Rumble!!!

With a low shout from Qingye, the entire Thunder Valley suddenly trembled violently!

This is no ordinary earthquake; it's as if some terrifying ancient beast is awakening deep underground, trying to break free from the earth's shackles!

Click!Click!

The ground inside the barrier began to crack wildly, with deep, bottomless fissures spreading rapidly like a spider web.

Then, to everyone's horror,

A thick, crimson pillar of magma shot into the sky.

A massive amount of magma erupted from the earth's depths, and a gigantic magma arm emerged from the magma vent—
