Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 107 Hiruzen Sarutobi VS Onoki! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Hiruzen Sarutobi's toughness did not surprise Onoki.

If it were possible to retrieve the Four-Tails and eliminate a powerful enemy with just a few words, it would be far too easy.

Onoki scoffed, "In that case, let's see what the Hokage has to offer!"

Danzo immediately drew his sword with one hand and made a hand seal with the other.

Mitomon Yan formed a mudra with both hands.

On the opposite side, Onoki's two guards also formed hand seals at the same time.

The next moment, the stone wall rose from the ground, while on Konoha's side, wind and fire combined, and with a boom, they transformed into a rolling sea of ​​fire that crashed onto the stone wall.

Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two cracked open.

Danzo drew his sword and charged forward, dodging the spikes that rose from the ground with incredible speed.

Mitokado Homura followed behind, his hands forming hand seals, preparing to unleash a ninjutsu.

Hiruzen Sarutobi lifted his Hokage robe, revealing the armor underneath, with two ribbons dancing in the wind.

He leaped and dodged the attacks from the ground, arriving at the raised section of the ground, only to see sharp stone clubs whistling towards him.

It was an attack by Onoki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately dodged nimbly, and in the process, a shuriken flew out, followed by hand seals.

The Sword Shadow Clone Technique!

In an instant, the shuriken rapidly multiplied, becoming densely packed.

……

Behind them, Xingxia Xiu never expected the two big shots to make a move so suddenly; he had thought today was just a negotiation.

He quickly took a step and leaped into the air, standing there and looking out at the battlefield.

Onoki had already taken to the air, while Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned Enma, which immediately transformed into the Golden Cudgel.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi swung his staff in a circle, he thrust it at Onoki in mid-air. Onoki tried to use Dust Release, but had to give up dodging and instead placed his palm on the staff to attack with Super Heavy Rock Technique.

But the golden cudgel suddenly retracted, avoiding his palm.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately used his golden cudgel as a support, leaping into the air and splitting his body into three as he did so.

The next moment, he unleashed three powers—Wind Release, Fire Release, and Lightning Release—from his mouth, heading straight for Onoki.

Onoki unleashed a beam of Dust Release from his hand, which collided with the three different escaping techniques, creating a deafening roar that forced both of them to retreat.

Hiruzen Sarutobi landed and grabbed the golden cudgel again.

At this moment, Onoki also landed, pressing his hands to the ground. The earth shook violently, and then a huge rock giant rose from the ground, pressing one hand down on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

With a flick of his wrist, Hiruzen Sarutobi's golden cudgel suddenly lengthened, piercing through the rock giant's hand and embedding itself in its chest with a resounding boom.

Leaping onto the golden cudgel, Hiruzen strode forward, his hands forming hand seals, and lightning bursting from his mouth, heading straight for Onoki atop the rock giant's head.

The towering stone wall was instantly pierced by the lightning, which then precisely struck Onoki behind it.

But Onoki immediately turned to stone and collapsed.

Meanwhile, the rock giant's other hand reached out to grab Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi dodged and weaved around the golden cudgel that resembled a bridge, then leaped into the air, completed hand seals, and spat out a ripple-like wind blade that severed the rock giant's hand.

However, Onoki, who emerged from the top of the rock giant's head, seized the opportunity. He opened and closed his hands, forming a white pillar of light and projecting out a square barrier that enveloped Hiruzen Sarutobi in the air.

The next moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was disintegrated.

As Hoshino's gaze shifted, he indeed saw Hiruzen Sarutobi rush out from under the Golden Cudgel. As the Golden Cudgel shrank, he grabbed it, leaped forward, and the Golden Cudgel pierced through, suddenly growing longer and larger.

boom!

The rock giant's head exploded, and its entire body rapidly disintegrated.

Onoki's figure quickly rose into the air.

Hiruzen Sarutobi landed, stuck his golden cudgel beside him, and formed hand seals. Four clones immediately appeared on his left and right sides, forming hand seals in unison.

Water Release + Lightning Release - Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

Wind Release - Great Breakthrough!

The main body plus the clone, five different escape techniques, ultimately merged into two forces.

Water Release and Lightning Release combined to form a lightning and water dragon that soared into the sky, opening its mouth to bite at the Ōnoki in the air.

Fire Release and Earth Release were used to create physical fireballs, and with the addition of Wind Release, the wind fueled the fire, making it even hotter and faster.

Caught between two forces, Onoki had no choice but to change his Dust Release target and dismantle Hiruzen Sarutobi's ninjutsu.

Onoki used Dust Release a second time, but still couldn't defeat Hiruzen Sarutobi.

From the air, Hoshino watched the two exchange blows with perfect clarity and couldn't help but sigh to himself, "As expected of Ninja Master, the professor of ninjutsu. He uses only conventional ninjutsu so skillfully. I am far inferior to him."

The ninjutsu used by Hiruzen Sarutobi was of the highest quality in terms of timing, coordination, and power.

Even though he didn't use a single S-rank ninjutsu, the effect he achieved was by no means inferior.

The latest novel is first published here!

In fact, apart from the Multiple Hand-Shadow Clone Technique, which is Rank A, the highest rank for the others is Rank B, which is equivalent to Jonin difficulty.

"This is what a normal ninja should be like!"

Hoshino Shu must admit that in the current ninja world, Hiruzen Sarutobi is definitely the ceiling for conventional ninjas.

On the battlefield, after a series of exchanges, neither of them could gain the upper hand, so Hiruzen Sarutobi and Onoki both stopped and did not make any more moves.

So Xingxia Xiu looked to the other side.

Danzo and Mitokado Homura, along with two of Onoki's guards.

Those two Iwa ninjas were also quite formidable, being elite Jonin level ninjas. They were younger than Danzo and Mitokado Homura and slightly less experienced, but they still managed to withstand Danzo and Mitokado Homura's attacks.

This wasn't the first time Xingxia Xiu had seen Danzo make a move, but it was the first time he had faced an opponent of similar caliber.

His superb swordsmanship and incredibly skilled Wind Release techniques were completely different from the Danzo that Hoshino Shizuka remembered dealing with Uchiha Sasuke.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other man stopped fighting, and Danzo and the others immediately separated and retreated.

"Hiruzen, have En hold those two off. I'll summon Baku; maybe we can take care of Onoki."

Danzo looked up at Ōnoki in the sky and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him.

He used the Baku's ability to immobilize Onoki, creating an opportunity for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "Onoki's combat intuition is very sharp, so it won't be difficult for him to break through Baku's ability."

Onoki was incredibly agile while in the air.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Onoki only used Earth Release and Dust Release. To synthesize Dust Release, a bloodline limit change, he must also be proficient in the other two nature transformations.

Looking at Onoki, Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, "Tsuchikage, Konoha has already offered its terms."

"To show my sincerity, I will use the Hokage's order to prevent the Wood Release users from attacking the Five-Tails of Iwagakure."

Onoki looked terrible, but he felt a sense of relief.

It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone eyeing it.

Having already lost the Four-Tails and its Jinchūriki, the loss of the Five-Tails would greatly weaken Iwagakure's deterrent power.

Landing on the ground, Onoki had no choice but to concede: "In that case, let's sign the peace treaty!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then said to Homura Mitokado, "Homura, you're in charge!"

Mitokado Yan immediately nodded.
