Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 104 Suppressing the Four-Tails and Five-Tails

Xuanma leaped a few times and arrived at the center of the battlefield, landing on a towering boulder.

The Iwa ninja on the opposite side, who were responsible for observation, immediately noticed the situation, but they couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

"Why is there only one person from Konoha?"

"He's not planning to fight us all by himself, is he? Hahaha~"

"There must be some kind of conspiracy. Don't let your guard down. Notify the sensory team in the back to keep an eye on Konoha's movements!"

One by one, the Iwa ninjas spoke, some with surprise and doubt, some with ridicule, and some with seriousness.

Someone else, after getting a clear look at the figure through a monocular telescope, suddenly changed expression and murmured, "It's him."

"No mistake, it's him!"

The Iwa ninja who recognized Genma suddenly became shrill: "It's Konoha's Ranga!"

"That guy has appeared on the battlefield!"

"Report this to Lord Red Earth immediately!"

The scream immediately attracted the attention of others.

"Konoha's Ranga, the guy who took on five hundred men single-handedly?"

"The master of Wood Release techniques—wasn't the intelligence report that he was in Konoha Village?"

"This guy showed up alone, is he going to take us on by himself again? Has he gone mad?"

The Iwa ninja who were observing nearby were shocked, and the information spread rapidly, causing a stir among many Iwa ninja.

In Iwagakure, Konoha's Ranga and Genma of the Wind are extremely well-known.

He fought against five hundred men single-handedly and nearly crushed them!

Even those who participated in the last battle felt a cold sweat break out and their legs cramp when they heard the name Konoha Ranga again.

He's here again!

He came alone again!

Soon, Red Earth, the commander of Iwagakure, arrived at the forefront of the battlefield and landed on a towering stone pillar.

On his left and right were two other figures, namely Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, and Han, the Jinchūriki of the Five-Tails.

"Is it really just one person?"

Old Purple curiously observed the figure in the distance: "I heard he defeated the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and even caused the Third Raikage to lose an arm, so he dares to face us alone?"

"Heh, while I admit he's very strong, I have to say, this guy is incredibly arrogant!"

"Hand this guy over to me!"

Kurotsuchi frowned: "Don't be careless. Since he was able to defeat the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Third Raikage, this guy's strength is definitely not to be underestimated. You are no match for him."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zi immediately showed his displeasure.

At this moment, the man wearing a red cloak and a red mask spoke up: "Perhaps his goal is the two of us."

"If one of us can hold us off, then it will be very difficult to deal with Konoha's White Fang and Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin."

Old Zi frowned and remained silent.

Hongtu's face darkened, and he slowly nodded: "That's true."

"We absolutely cannot let Konoha succeed!"

Looking at the Konoha ninjas at the edge of the distant woods, Kurenai's eyes turned cold: "Hmph, Konoha's Ranga, last time he fought five hundred of our Iwagakure ninjas by himself, and this time he dares to fight alone again, then so be it."

"Old Purple, Han, I will personally lead the team to besiege this Konoha Ranga first."

"You will lead your team to attack Konoha from the left and right."

Old Zi nodded slowly, but his words were unpleasant: "No problem, but don't let me down."

Hongtu ignored Lao Zi's foul mouth and jumped down.

Soon, the Iwa ninja began to change.

The advancing troops began to split up.

One group headed straight for the Wind-Riding Black Horse, while the other two groups went to the left and right, continuing towards the Konoha army.

It's like a great river suddenly splitting into three streams.

The middle group, though the smallest, still had over six hundred members.

However, the entire Iwa ninja army actually only numbered a little over two thousand.

Genma naturally saw clearly what the Iwa ninja were doing.

This is a perfectly normal response.

But he won't let the Iwa ninja have their way.

With a raised hand seal, Xuanma unleashed his spirit communication technique.

bang bang bang~

Three plumes of smoke exploded, and he summoned three shadow clones from Konoha.

Moreover, these three Wood Release clones are different from the previous ones.

When they refine Wood Release chakra, they simultaneously absorb natural energy, namely, the ratio of spiritual power, plant cell power, and natural energy is 1:1:1.

It's Sage Art: Wood Release!

After the three clones appeared, two of them broke through the air and left, one on the left and one on the right, quickly blocking the two groups of Iwa ninja armies from advancing.

Behind them, the Konoha army was in turmoil.

The Jonin and Chunin leading the team couldn't help but look at Jiraiya, who was in charge.

Are you just going to watch like this?

There are two thousand Iwa ninja, there's no way one person could stop them, right?

Jiraiya stared intently at the Wind-Riding Horse on the battlefield, resisting the urge to order a change in plans.

On the other side, Hongtu, who was leading the charge, frowned slightly when he saw Yufeng Xuanma split into two.

Is it really possible for one person to stop them all?

Is this guy crazy?

Have they become so arrogant?

Furthermore, how could those people in Konoha allow him to do this?

Hongtu couldn't understand it, but he didn't change his plans because of it. Instead, he ordered the pace to be accelerated.

When they were less than 300 meters away from the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse, Hongtu and his team stopped and rapidly formed hand seals.

The others split into two groups, one on the left and one on the right.

On the large rock, the third shadow clone beside Genma dissipated, and the massive Wood Release Sage Technique chakra returned to his main body.

Instantly, a bluish eyeshadow appeared under Xuanma's eyelids.

Snapped!

Xuanma formed the hand seal with both hands.

Almost simultaneously, the other two shadow clones also formed their own hand seals.

A massive amount of Wood Release Sage Chakra was simultaneously injected into the ground.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!

Meanwhile, Hongtu on the opposite side led his men to complete the hand seals and placed their palms on the ground.

Click!

The earth cracked open and rapidly extended forward, then quickly separated, the cracks spreading swiftly around the spot where Xuanma stood.

Immediately following, a massive earthquake shook the ground, and the area within a 10-meter radius where Xuanma stood began to sink.

But at this moment, thick vines also sprang up from the ground.

The vines grew and intertwined like snakes, and thick vines supported Xuanma's feet, lifting him away from the sinking ground.

Kurotsuchi's pupils contracted as she completed the technique: "Wood Release!"

A large amount of vines poured out from the gap created by their earth-style ninjutsu, spreading rapidly and covering the sky like a tidal wave.

Not only in front of them, but also in front of two other Iwa ninja armies, countless vines rose from the ground and grew rapidly, covering the barren land.

The three waves of Wood Release techniques quickly connected, leaving the numerous Iwa ninja with only the sight of vines that snaked and roared towards them.

This made them stop in their tracks and stare in disbelief.

On the other side, many Konoha ninjas were equally dumbfounded.

They could no longer see the Iwa ninjas; their vision was completely obscured by Genma's Wood Release.

"Isn't it too big?"

"Is this the First Hokage's Wood Release technique? It's truly... on a completely different level!"

"No wonder he dared to go alone, it's unbelievable!"

Jiraiya was also stunned.

The scale is truly astonishing, spanning at least several kilometers.

Seeing the vines and trees sweeping towards him, Hongtu snapped out of his daze and shouted, "Use earthen barriers!"

The Iwa ninja behind Kurotsuchi began forming hand seals and casting spells.

Not only them, but the other Iwa ninja armies on both sides, upon seeing the sweeping Fujiki, instinctively formed earthen barriers as well.

In an instant, a large number of stone walls rose from the ground, forming more than a dozen layers that stretched across the entire battlefield, blocking the tide of wooden vines.

However, immediately afterward, accompanied by a roar, the stone wall was easily pierced by thick vines and then submerged.

"Oh no, the earthen barrier is completely ineffective!"

Hongtu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted, "Fire Release!"

"Send forward a ninja who knows Fire Release and Wind Release."

"Also, use explosive tags!"

The order was quickly relayed, and the Iwa ninjas who knew Fire Release and Wind Release immediately moved forward to gather, while the Iwa ninjas in front had already begun to use explosive tags.

However, they did not directly use kunai to throw the explosive tags.

Instead, they attached the detonating tags to the earthen barrier.

When the vine pierced through the earthen barrier, the explosive charge was detonated.

Rumble!

The stone wall was blasted open, flames shot into the sky, and countless fragments of rock shot outwards, causing damage over a wider area.

However, while such damage could be fatal to a ninja, it was utterly insignificant to the countless, ever-growing vines.

However, this did buy them a little time, allowing the Iwa ninjas who knew Fire Release and Wind Release to gather at the front.

boom!

One by one, the Iwa ninjas opened their mouths and spewed out flames, followed by the unleashing of their Wind Release techniques.

Rumble!

The flames surged wildly, forming a wave of fire that surged forward.

Genma, who was lifted up by Fujiki and placed on a high place, saw the response of the Iwa ninja.

Although the Iwa ninja were divided into several groups, they all responded in the same way.

Unfortunately, there aren't many Iwagakure ninjas skilled in Wind Release and Fire Release.

The raging flames ignited the vines in front, but the vines continued to grow and cover forward, densely filling every inch of space, and forcefully extinguishing the flames.

"It's completely useless!"

"There are too many, they keep growing, damn it, we can't stop them!"

"Lord Red Earth, what should we do?"

Hongtu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Jonin, stay behind and cover my retreat! The rest of you, retreat!"

As he spoke, he quickly formed hand seals and then pressed his palms to the ground.

Rumble!

A rock giant rose from the ground, strode forward, and swung his arms, smashing the raging vines and trees.

Other Iwa ninja Jonin joined the attack, shattering the vine.

However, even the rock giant was soon entangled in vines, then its body was pierced, and finally it was completely submerged by the overwhelming vines.

at the same time.

On the left and right sides, the Iwa ninja army led by the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki had already retreated.

When the Iwa ninja who used Fire Release and Wind Release also retreated, the two had already entered a semi-tailed beast transformation state, opening their mouths wide as the Tailed Beast Ball rapidly condensed.

With the swirling vines almost within reach, the two Jinchūriki simultaneously launched their condensed Tailed Beast Balls.

However, the fist-sized Tailed Beast Ball shot out, shattering vines and trees wherever it passed, and carving a huge trench in the ground.

The tree boundary, which had already covered an area of ​​at least seven or eight hundred meters, was pierced through by the two Tailed Beast Balls in just a few breaths under Genma's gaze.

Two wooden dragons greeted the two Tailed Beast Balls, opening their mouths to bite them.

The Tailed Beast Ball launched by the half-tailed beast was far inferior to the Tailed Beast Ball released by the Eight-Tails in its complete form. It was suppressed by the Wood Dragon and did not explode.

And so, with the Tailed Beast Ball in their mouths, the two wooden dragons roared forward along the path plowed by the Tailed Beast Ball.

At this moment, the two Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts were trapped in the Tree World, with countless vines wrapping around them.

The half-tailed beast Jinchuriki was incredibly fast and possessed astonishing strength. With a flick of his tail and a swing of his arms, he easily shattered thick vines.

Even so, faced with the relentless saturation attacks, they were inevitably caught off guard by the vines, which seized the opportunity to entangle and bind them.

Sizzle~

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki emitted high-temperature magma from his body, easily burning through the vines binding him. With a flick of his four scarlet tails, he moved at high speed, causing large swathes of vines to explode.

On the other side, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki was spewing steam, his power suddenly erupting, forcefully shattering the vines binding him.

Genma frowned slightly as he watched the Jinchūriki wreaking havoc within the Tree World from afar.

Wood Release, which cannot absorb the chakra of Tailed Beasts, is indeed making it a bit difficult to capture them.

Fortunately, two wooden dragons arrived and detonated the Tailed Beast Ball they were biting.

Rumble~

A tremendous roar reverberated throughout the battlefield, and intense light burst forth, dazzling to the extreme.

When the energy is released, the light fades, and the storm recedes.

Jiraiya, Sakumo Hatake, and other Konoha ninjas looked over and saw that the once vast Tree Boundary had been reduced to a thin outer layer, with a large blank area in the middle.

The two half-tailed beast jinchūriki stood there, looking exceptionally conspicuous.

"Nothing's wrong at all!"

"Damn it, they actually withstood such an attack!"

"Even Wood Release can't restrain them?"

The Konoha ninja were in an uproar.

Sakumo Hatake and Jiraiya were not unexpected.

The tailed beast cloak worn by Jinchuriki is their best armor; they have experienced this firsthand in their previous battles with Jinchuriki, and its defensive capabilities are astonishing.

"Next, we should use the Wooden Dummy Technique. Only the Wooden Dummy Technique can truly restrain them."

Hatake Sakumochi.

Jiraiya was surprised: "He can even use the Wooden Dummy Technique?"

Sakumo Hatake nodded.

Jiraiya gazed into the distance, a thought popping into his mind: Could he have taken down these two Jinchuriki all by himself?

At this age, he's absolutely monstrous!

the other side.

The Iwa ninja, including Kurotsuchi, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Rōshi and the others were safe and sound.

Then Hongtu ordered, "Once Lao Zi and his team win, launch an attack immediately!"

Genma's Wood Release is indeed very powerful; it can even handle attacks like Tailed Beast Balls and turn them into his own offensive techniques.

But Lao Zi and the others are also very powerful, not inferior at all.

Now it's two against one, and I think the clay court has the advantage!

In the center of the battlefield, both Roshi and Han, in their half-tailed beast form, were greatly affected by their rationality and became irritable, but they were still able to maintain basic judgment.

They didn't look at the shadow clone that appeared in front of them, but instead looked at Xuanma's main body.

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

Whoosh~

The two pillar-lifters moved suddenly, leaving behind afterimages, and headed straight for the main body of the Xuanma at an extremely fast speed.

The two shadow clones staring at them immediately clasped their hands together, and thick vines sprouted from the ground.

But at that moment, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki suddenly stopped, and his five scarlet tails suddenly shot out like javelins at the same time towards Genma's two shadow clones, while the Four-Tails Jinchuriki continued to attack Genma's main body.
