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

Chapter 86: Starry Night Show vs. Elite Iwa Ninja! (Please subscribe and vote!)

Tsunade and the others went to the battlefield, but Hoshino Hide was unaware of it.

He actually knew very little about the Second Shinobi World War.

All I can remember are certain classic scenes.

For example, the birth of the Three Ninja.

The birth of the initial three giants of Akatsuki.

Tsunade and two others were surrounded by Iwa ninja and nearly died.

As for further details, who knows?

Right now, what Hoshino Shu needs to consider is the encirclement and attack by the Iwa ninja.

The hundred people were divided into five groups, surrounding the area from all sides, and there was also a mobile force.

This is to make it appear as if they are determined to be surrounded and killed.

Each section seemed to have few people.

But even a show under the stars can't be guaranteed to wipe it out in an instant.

Therefore, the Iwa ninja's mobility will definitely arrive in a very short time.

Next are the other three directions.

Like adding fuel to the fire, their numerical advantage grew stronger and stronger.

Of course, a show under the stars can also simply break through.

He was confident he could escape, but it would be difficult for the Root ninjas like Crow.

Standing on the rooftop, Xingxia Xiu was deep in thought.

He needs to resolve this crisis at the lowest possible cost.

"team leader……"

A crow leaped in.

"The Iwa ninja have advanced again."

Crow reports.

Xingxia Xiu asked, "Is it the same as before?"

The crow nodded: "They are very cautious, changing the terrain every so often to create favorable positions."

"These guys are already planning to completely destroy the Daming Prefecture."

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "This is the daimyo's prefecture in the land of birds, not the land of earth, so of course we don't need to worry about so much."

The crow said with a hint of anxiety, "Captain, the smaller the encirclement, the lower the chance of breaking through."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "What you said makes a lot of sense."

"Then prepare to break through!"

As he spoke, Xingxia Xiu formed hand seals, and three wooden clones materialized from his back.

"Follow my wooden clones and break through the encirclement."

Crow's expression changed: "Captain, you're going to stay behind alone to hold off the main force of the Iwa ninja?"

Hoshino nodded: "I am the main target of the Iwa ninja this time."

"I'm here; they'll only send a small number of men to pursue you."

"After you break through, regroup immediately and then evacuate the Bird Country."

"Go to the border of the Land of Wind, I will meet you there."

The crow panicked: "Captain, this is too dangerous!"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "It's your presence that puts me in danger."

"Once you're gone, it will be easy for me to retreat."

The crow was speechless.

He then remembered that his captain had the ability to retreat from the air.

Xingxia Xiu waved his hand: "Go ahead, my clone will clear the way for you."

"yes!"

The crow bowed respectfully, then leaped away with its three wooden clones.

After watching them leave, Hoshinobu also leaped up and headed straight for the mobile unit of the Iwa ninja.

He could tell that the core of this Iwa ninja force was this military unit.

The Iwa ninjas in the other four directions all acted based on the movements of this force.

Meanwhile, Iwa ninja were also watching from a high place with binoculars.

Seeing Xingxia Xiu's undisguised actions, he was startled and quickly created a clone to report to Shan Tu.

Upon hearing this, Yamato immediately understood Hoshino Hide's intention: "He's trying to draw our attention to himself so that the others can break through."

"As expected of a Wood Release user, so confident that he can escape safely by himself?"

"Does this mean everyone else is seen as a burden?"

The mountain soil looked thoughtful.

He was wondering what other trump cards this Wood Release user might have, given his confidence.

"Lord Yamato, that Wood Release user is heading this way alone."

The Iwa ninja asked, "Should we notify the others to join the encirclement?"

Shan Tu shook his head: "No."

What we see is not necessarily the truth.

"Let's check if this Wood Release user is the real entity before sending the signal."

"Furthermore, although our main mission this time is to capture the Wood Release users, we cannot let the others go either."

"They are all stained with the blood of their comrades, and they must pay with their lives."

The Iwa ninja around them all nodded in agreement.

Shan Tu shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

soon.

Xingxia Xiu approached and stood on the rooftop dozens of meters away.

Yamato and his men set up their position in a crossroads, with Iwa ninja lying in ambush in several houses around the perimeter.

As for the civilians nearby, they had already fled.

Xingxia Xiu watched but did not step forward to start a fight.

He is not the one we should be attacking now.

Looking at Hoshinoshita, who was standing and watching, Yamato frowned slightly.

This guy is really calm; he's clearly waiting for them to come forward and attack.

And they had no choice but to do so.

Shan Tu waved his hand, giving the order to proceed.

Figures flashed in and out of the surrounding houses.

Earth Release: Rock Cannon Technique!

One by one, the Iwa ninjas opened their mouths and spat out rocks, which expanded in the air and shot towards Hoshino Hideaki.

At the same time, on the ground, three rock ninjas leaped out of the fortifications and pressed their hands to the ground.

Click!

Cracks appeared in the ground and spread rapidly forward, eventually reaching the house where Xingxia Xiu stood.

Immediately following was a deafening roar, and the house beneath Hoshino's feet began to collapse.

As he descended, Xingxia Xiu brandished his twin swords, leaping across the rubble of houses.

During this time, under the command of Yamato, the Iwa ninjas spread out around and then formed hand seals in unison.

Earth Escape - Earthquake Core!

Rumble!

The earth is shaking.

The surrounding ground was rising rapidly, while the ground where Xingxia Xiu's house was located was sinking.

The rock-iron cannon and the collapsed house earlier were all feints, designed to create a favorable position.

The latest novel is first published here!

It also trapped the Star Show.

But the attack by the Iwa ninja was not over yet.

After the surrounding ground rose to form four high walls, huge, sharp stone pillars extended out from the four high walls in a staggered manner, piercing towards the center.

Xingxia Xiu wielded his twin swords, the wind blades slicing through the sharp stone pillars.

However, this wave of Earth Release ninjutsu did indeed hinder his upward momentum.

Immediately afterwards, a series of whooshing sounds filled the air.

A large number of kunai carrying explosive tags flew down.

Rumble!

The explosive tag didn't detonate nearby; instead, it blew up the stone pillars above.

Many stone pillars were shattered, and countless stones fell like raindrops.

At this moment, even if Hoshino Shu had the Sharingan with two tomoe, it would be absolutely impossible for him to completely avoid such a dense array of rocks.

Sheathing his sword, Xingxia Xiu clasped his hands together, and vines immediately sprang up from the ruins beneath him, quickly growing into towering trees to significantly reduce the power of the stones.

Xingxia Xiu's figure flickered, her hands constantly forming hand seals.

An indestructible body!

First his skin hardened, then his muscles... Stones fell on him, but he felt neither pain nor itch.

When the rain of stones ended, Hoshinobu leaped onto the treetop and looked up to see Iwa ninjas standing or crouching on the broken stone pillars, their hands forming hand seals.

Rock Iron Cannon Technique!

shhhhhh!

A dense barrage of rock bullets rained down, with fire coming from all four directions, leaving virtually no blind spots.

Xingxia Xiu immediately began to fall downwards.

Puff puff!

Beep!

The rock bullet pierced through the leaves and shattered the vines.

The dense barrage of attacks caused devastating damage to the vines, causing them to break and collapse rapidly.

"Iwagakure's group combat is truly impressive!"

Xingxia Xiu was secretly amazed.

If this were an ordinary Jonin, he would have been killed long ago.

Seeing that the vines were about to be completely destroyed, Hoshino Hide formed hand seals.

Wind Release - Great Breakthrough!

Rumble!

A strong airflow swept upwards, blowing broken branches and logs into the sky, and also blasting away the rocks and bullets that were being fired downwards.

After a major breakthrough, Xingxia Xiu kept forming hand seals.

The storm had just ended, and he immediately took a breath, his cheeks puffing out and his chest expanding, before exhaling.

Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!

Several ripple-like vacuum wind blades swept out, and the Iwa ninja standing on the stone pillar dodged them.

Some people were unable to dodge in time, and the broken stone pillar fell down.

But then new stone pillars grew out of the rock face and caught the person.

Meanwhile.

On the towering stone wall, tall rock ninjas were throwing huge rocks down.

In an instant, the light above Xingxiaxiu's head was almost completely blocked.

"This kind of attack shouldn't pose a threat to me... Are there any explosive tags on it?"

Hoshino Hide gave a light hum, and a Rasengan rapidly formed in his right hand, which then expanded into a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and was thrown out.

The Wind Release: Rasengan collided with the falling boulders in mid-air, instantly expanding and swallowing all the boulders in the blink of an eye, then cutting them into countless fragments that fell to the ground.

As Xingxia Xiu saw, shredded explosive tags indeed fell down.

Rumble!

Suddenly, Xingxia Xiu's gaze sharpened as she saw the four walls above moving towards the center, attempting to seal off the entire upward exit.

"Is this meant to bury me here forever?"

Even a fool could tell that what followed was the collapse and crushing of the closing stone wall.

"It's almost time, so let's stop playing..."

Xingxia Xiu clasped his hands together, forming the Si Seal.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!

In an instant, a large number of thick vines shot into the sky.

Above, after the four broken walls closed together, Yamazuchi, along with many Iwa ninja, pressed their hands to the ground.

Earth Release: Rock Collapse!

Click!

The earth cracked open, forming countless fissures, and then collapsed and fell with a deafening roar.

At that moment, the huge pit they had created was filled.

A Chunin from Iwa ninja straightened up and said coldly, "It's over ten meters thick. Even with Wood Release, there's no way they could escape up there!"

The surrounding Iwa ninja nodded in agreement.

They were selling their wares so deep, and with ten meters of rock and soil collapsing and crashing down, they didn't believe anyone could withstand it.

Shan Tu didn't think there was any problem.

By this time, people from other directions had already dared to come.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Shan Tu's expression changed, and as he leaped into the air, he shouted, "Scatter!"

The surrounding Iwa ninja were startled, but they instinctively obeyed the order and scattered in all directions.

That is, when the earth was churning, vines and trees pierced through the ground and soared into the sky.

Just as the Iwa ninja was leaping back, his body was pierced by sharp vines, and his body quickly withered, his chakra and life force drained away.

The dense vines grew outwards like a python.

"Damn it, even this can't kill him!"

Shan Tu's pupils contracted sharply, and after landing, he pressed his hands to the ground.

Earth Escape, Open the Earth and Dig!
