Starting with Wood Release, he survives in Konoha Hospital and becomes a big shot.

The range of the Soul Chain is indeed limited; it can be broken if it exceeds a certain range. However, this range is not one that Hiruzen Sarutobi can easily escape from.

Moreover, Ming Shiyin's Soul Chain is not without effect.

Just as Ming Shiyin finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was fleeing at high speed, stumbled and almost fell directly from the sky.

"what?"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was filled with confusion and fear.

In an instant, his strength suddenly dropped, as if his power had been drained from his body, and his movement speed also decreased sharply.

He was once a Kage-level powerhouse, but now he can't even reach the level of a Jonin; at most, he's a Special Jonin.

Forget about escaping, he can't even fight normally now.

In that brief moment, the dark purple ball of light flew by and, to everyone's horror, blasted into Hiruzen Sarutobi's body.

In an instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned deathly pale, as if all his blood had been drained, and his expression became withered and dull, like that of a centenarian.

"you you……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed at Ming Shiyin in a hoarse voice, but couldn't utter a single word.

His vitality inexplicably faded away.

Yes.

This attack did not directly harm his body, but rather targeted his very life force, ignoring all his defenses.

"You're quite proud of yourself for surviving my attack," Ming Shiyin said softly.

With the blessing of magical equipment, the Tai Gua Longevity skill deals very high damage, and it is true damage. The damage is exactly what the character's stats show. Unless Hiruzen Sarutobi has the ability to avoid damage, all defenses are useless in the face of such an attack.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was, after all, a Kage-level shinobi from the Land of Fire. At this time, he was far from being in his aged state as depicted in the original Naruto manga. His vitality was still strong enough that he did not die from this attack, but he was already close to it and basically had no fighting power left.

Ming Shiyin did not make another move. He did not come here to kill people. If he had only come here to kill people, these people would have been dead long ago.

However, the soul chain of the Celestial Instrument was already connected to Hiruzen Sarutobi to prevent the old man from using a sealing technique that would result in mutual destruction.

The battle between Ming Shi Yin and Hiruzen Sarutobi ended almost as soon as it began, while on the other side, Zhuge Liang, who is actually Yao Xingji, was also fighting.

At the very first moment the battle broke out, Yao Xingji immediately activated the ability granted to him by Zhuge Liang's Shiyu Tiansi.

The snowflakes that were falling all over the sky disappeared, and a torrential downpour suddenly began to fall from the huge hole in the ceiling.

As countless raindrops fell, Zhuge Liang's figure vanished from everyone's sight, leaving Onoki, who was using Dust Release, without a target.

"Everyone be careful!"

Onoki immediately reminded him.

Zhuge Liang actually possessed the ability to become invisible without leaving any trace, and even he couldn't sense the person's whereabouts, which was quite terrifying.

Just as the three people from the Land of Earth were all huddled together on high alert, preventing Yao Xingji from launching a surprise attack, Yao Xingji had already arrived behind the Tsuchikage.

"East Wind Breaks Through!"

Time travel!

Zhuge Liang's standard first and second combo, if it hits, instantly grants five stacks of passive strategy.

Three streams of rain suddenly appeared, and because the three people from the Land of Earth were standing very close together, Yao Xingji's first skill hit all three of them at the same time.

"careful!"

One of the guards from the Land of Earth reacted quickly. The moment Zhuge Liang made his move, he sensed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to block the Tsuchikage, buying time for Onoki.

Onoki didn't hesitate either, unleashing his Dust Release technique, which he had been holding back.

A semi-transparent beam of light erupted, revealing the terrifying power of Dust Escape. If it hit, it could definitely kill Zhuge Liang.

However, the three's plan still failed.

Because Zhuge Liang used not only his first skill, but also his second skill.

The instant Zhuge Liang unleashed his first skill, East Wind Strike, he activated his second skill, passing directly through the three opponents and arriving on their other side.

boom!

The dust escape technique was activated, creating another huge hole in the wall, but Zhuge Liang was no longer in front of them.

"Spirit Bomb!"

Zhuge Liang's figure appeared behind the three of them, and a faint line of water connected to the Tsuchikage Onoki.

------------

Chapter 287 Physical Persuasion

"what?"

Onoki never expected such a scene to occur. When the faint water line connected to his body, the hairs on his body immediately stood on end.

It was a premonition of extreme danger.

A strong person like him would instinctively sense a crisis, and at this moment, Onoki even sensed the imminent approach of death.

This was especially true when she saw Yao Xingji constantly increasing the distance between them, and when a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Tsuchikage, be careful!"

Swish!

One of the guards, not caring about anything else at the moment, instinctively intercepted Onoki when he saw the water lines on his body.

They had already seen a huge blue-green dragon head emerge on the other side of the waterline.

It resembled the Water Dragon Bullet technique they were familiar with, but the aura it emitted was completely different.

boom!

Shigure Tenji's spirit bullet transformed into a giant water dragon and shot out, heading straight for Onoki.

But at that moment, the guard from the Land of Earth stood in front of Onoki, shielding him with his own body.

What puzzled all three of them was that the faint water line did not seem to exist in reality. Even if they touched it with their bodies or tried to cut it with chakra, they could not break the connection.

With a roar, the water dragon arrived in front of the three and crashed into the Earth Country guard.

The terrifying explosion immediately engulfed the entire office, and the Earth Country guard had almost no chance to resist; the light in his eyes completely dimmed.

At the same time, the shockwaves and blasts that erupted around them blasted the Third Tsuchikage and another guard away.

"Using your body to block my Spirit Bomb, that's commendable courage!"

Zhuge Liang's voice came through.

He originally intended to kill Onoki with this attack, but he didn't expect that the guard would use his own body to block the Spirit Bomb.

This method is indeed the only way to stop the Spirit Bomb.

However, Zhuge Liang had already attacked him with a combination of attacks, and he was already injured when hit by the Spirit Bomb, leaving him with no hope of survival.

Because the Spirit Bomb attack has a finishing blow effect, the lower the health, the higher the damage. In this situation, even if he used a defensive Earth Release ninjutsu at the end, it was still to no avail.

"you……"

Onoki crashed into the wall not far away, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face was deathly pale as he looked at Zhuge Liang, who was emerging from the dust not far away.

Gently waving his feather fan, Zhuge Liang was surrounded by a large amount of raindrop-like blue-green liquid. This liquid contained a large amount of chakra, and its destructive power could be clearly sensed even before it was released.

"You have already lost," Zhuge Liang said indifferently.

"burst!"

At that moment, Bian Que suddenly clenched his palm.

The next moment, the poison buff stacked above everyone's heads exploded, and everyone felt the terrifying toxins suddenly raging within their bodies.

Several of the weaker guards collapsed to the ground, while some of the stronger ones were barely holding on, but they were already at their last gasp.

Looking around, the Tsuchikage Onoki had already been captured by Zhuge Liang, while the Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi on the other side had his life force destroyed in a single exchange by Ming Shi Yin.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was in dire straits under Kisame Hoshigaki's fierce onslaught, while the Third Raikage was also at a disadvantage under the relentless attacks of Shiku Zhen.

This battle, which had only just begun, had by this point become almost entirely one-sided.

"Fairy magic!"

At that moment, Jiraiya clasped his hands together, preparing to unleash a Sage Art.

He had no other choice; even he couldn't withstand such an attack.

The only way out now is for him to use Sage Mode to escape with the Hokage as much as possible.

"Hatake, hold them off for a moment, I'm using my magic!"

Jiraiya's Sage Art requires a certain amount of time to activate, and it cannot be interrupted during this period. The only hope is that Sakumo Hatake can delay Yaotian's attack.

Upon hearing Jiraiya's voice, Sakumo Hatake rushed straight towards him without saying a word.

boom!

The next moment, Sakumo Hatake slashed out with the back of his blade, not the edge, directly cleaving Jiraiya, who was casting Sage Mode, away and interrupting his release.

"Hatake...you..."

Jiraiya stared in disbelief at Sakumo Hatake, who had slashed at him. His eyes were filled with astonishment, disbelief, and confusion.

In fact, not only Jiraiya, but everyone else who noticed this scene also showed incredulous expressions.

Sakumo Hatake, the captain of the Dark Guard in the Land of Fire, actually attacked Jiraiya.

What type of situation is this?

Everyone was stunned; it was like a dream.

Is this an illusion?

How could it be so real?

"Feel sorry."

Looking at Jiraiya on the ground, Sakumo Hatake said with a complicated expression.

"I am also a member of the Yaotian Organization."
