Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

Seeing the Konoha Jonin closing in.

Jiang Si's lips curled up slightly, revealing a chilling aura. As the three black tomoe in his pupils spun rapidly and condensed, they directly manifested as a four-cornered windmill shape.

"Susanoo!"

In an instant.

The chilling aura spread even further.

Centered around the general, the purple-gold skeletal giant that spread out in an instant came into view of everyone present.

"What!?"

"Damn it! Is this the Susanoo of the Uchiha clan!?"

The Konoha Jonin all changed their expressions at this moment, feeling a terrifying and chilling aura, and their pupils revealed a color called 'fear'!

Even Gekko Zentsubasa, whose face was deathly pale, looked grim at this moment. Although it wasn't the first time he had heard of the Uchiha clan's Susanoo, this was the first time he had actually faced it. Before this, he had always thought that he could fight against this technique, but when he witnessed it with his own eyes, Gekko Zentsubasa finally understood what a truly insurmountable chasm it was!

'This is power that no human could possibly possess!'

Tsukikage Zentsubasa closed his eyes in pain.

Feeling this surging yet extremely cold power, Gekko Zentsubasa knew very well that they could not possibly stop Uchiha Shoji. They could not even delay him in seconds. At this moment, he truly believed that the Third Raikage could fight for three days and three nights under the siege of ten thousand people, and only died after inflicting three or four thousand casualties on the Iwa ninja. If Uchiha Shoji's chakra could also reach the level of that Third Raikage.

Even if the results are not so glorious.

They won't be too far apart.

Uchiha Shoji, when he goes all out, is not someone that dozens or hundreds of people can deal with, unless all of them are Jonin, and the most outstanding among them. Konoha can indeed gather that many Jonin, but it is absolutely impossible for them to appear on this battlefield at the same time.

This is the difference between an ant and an elephant.

"Humph!"

After activating Susanoo.

With no more reservations, the attacks from these Jonin only managed to leave some scratches on his Susanoo shell.

There is absolutely no need for the generals to worry about defense issues.

"boom!"

His figure pressed forward.

"Shh!"

"Well!?"

In a flash, he rushed in front of the Jonin who had just been covering for Gekko Zentsubasa.

"What!?"

The purple-gold Susanoo blade swung down.

"Shadow Imitation Technique!"

Neither dodging nor avoiding.

Even though he was hit squarely by the Nara clan's shadow imitation technique, Shoji's whole body trembled, and the roaring Susanoo...

"boom!"

The shadow that had been binding them was forcibly shaken apart.

This Konoha Jonin, skilled in Earth Release, had nowhere to retreat.

"Earth Release - Earth Formation Wall Technique!"

Just as he used an Earth Release technique, the Susanoo sword, swung down, easily pierced through the seemingly solid but actually fragile earthen wall in front of him, its unstoppable blade striking with irresistible force.

"Pfft!"

With this Jonin completely unable to make any further moves.

Start from the middle of the forehead.

It was cleaved directly into two perfectly equal halves.

The exposed internal organs and blood vessels, along with the gushing blood, were completely evaporated in less than a second when they splashed onto Susanoo.

The first Jonin was easily killed.

The next target was naturally Gekko Zentsubasa, who was seriously injured and unable to move. This former commander of the Wuyuan Mountain base in Konoha was also unable to make any effective response to the attacking Susanoo blades!

"Pfft!"

The second Jonin was killed in a series of attacks.

"The soul is pale!"

"Avenge Seon-ik and Shuwa!"

Instead of crushing the Konoha Jonin standing by, it further fueled their fighting spirit. Since they stepped onto the battlefield, they had never chosen to retreat out of fear!

Not to mention witnessing one's companion die tragically right before one's eyes.

Deep within their hearts, the flames of revenge had already been burning fiercely.

"A bunch of idiots!"

As he watched the Jonin from the Nara, Inuzuka, Akimichi, Yamashiro, and Shiranui clans attacking from both flanks, a chilling glint appeared in Shoji's eyes. This was still an attack without any mercy.

"Pfft!"

"what!"

"Water escape!"

"A secret technique!"

"Lei Dun!"

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

Despite the successive attacks, even though these people were among the most elite ninjas in the five great ninja villages, the gap between them and Shoji was still enormous, especially considering their numbers were insufficient.

That is to say, it delayed the general's time by a little while.

Then.

These people died one after another under Shoji's Susanoo blade. Before they died, the only attack they could create was to cause a slight crack in the left shoulder of Shoji's Susanoo, which had been activated to its second form. That was all.

If an attack can't even break through a single defense, then it's even less likely to threaten the commander's life!

Because Shoji easily killed these Konoha Jonin in just a few minutes, the Iwa ninja who were guarding the area took control of the area and were unable to put up any resistance. The Konoha ninja, whose morale had completely collapsed, could only flee!

This demonstrates that the defense of this right-wing high ground position remains rock solid.

However, this is clearly only temporary.

Even if it's unclear how many attacking troops Konoha sent, it's definitely more than what's in front of us. The destruction here doesn't mean the Iwa ninja can hold off the subsequent Konoha troops. Shoji's recent high-intensity battles, including the release of ninjutsu including Susanoo, may seem easy and short, but they've already consumed a full quarter of Shoji's chakra!

Even if they can withstand the next wave of attacks, once the high ground on the left flank is lost, the troops coming from behind will cause the defenses here to collapse. Jiang Si doesn't have enough chakra and stamina to continuously fight these Konoha ninjas.

A war of attrition, even if it means wearing down the general, can eventually kill him!

Moreover, since the General was planning to meet Huang Tu and Han, he could not afford to hesitate or waste any more resources here.

He used a little of his Mangekyou Sharingan power to directly use Susanoo to kill Konoha Jonin like Gekko Zentsubasa, all to conserve his chakra and stamina. Otherwise, if he fought in the conventional way, not only would he consume more chakra and stamina, but if the time dragged on and Konoha's reinforcements arrived, the result would only be counterproductive!

General Si does not want to see that kind of situation.

"The situation here is stable for now, but there's still room for further adjustments!"

Jiang Si took a deep breath, his figure blurred, and he immediately sped off in another direction.

The retreat of the Iwa ninja can be simple or difficult. It is simple because they still have room to maneuver. Even if all the high points on both flanks are occupied, the space left behind is enough for most of the Iwa ninja to retreat.

At most, they would lose several hundred more men covering the rear. This seemingly heavy price was the most acceptable outcome for the Iwa ninja. The difficulty lay in the fact that wars were different from those between ordinary armies. With proper guidance and advance planning of obstacles, it was possible to conceal one's own army's movements without loss and prevent the enemy from discovering them. But ninjas were different. Each ninja village had different types of sensory ninjas.

The existence of these people adds more uncertainty to battles between ninjas. Konoha's Byakugan is even more excessive. Under the coverage of such a massive reconnaissance system, Iwa ninjas can at most gain a little time to act ahead of time.

The rest depends on how quickly Konoha reacts and whether they give them a chance.

In fact.

Their reaction was incredibly swift!

The attack formation, clearly laid out in an orderly fashion according to the pre-arranged plan, was designed to retake the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold, as well as the high ground areas on both sides.

The presence of Shoji on the right flank high ground has blocked the most critical wave of attack, but once the troops behind gather, this high ground will inevitably be lost, even if Shoji stays behind. His chakra is insufficient to allow him to kill all the Konoha ninjas. There are nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas here, while the Iwa ninjas left behind only number a little over two hundred.

Therefore, he had to seize every moment. He could no longer worry about defending the high ground on the left flank. With most of the main force already withdrawn, he had to go and meet Huang Tu and Han's group immediately!

The general, who had been traveling at a fast pace, soon returned to the vicinity of the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold.

The intense chakra fluctuations could be felt from a great distance, and most importantly, the two enormous figures that came into view were: one was the complete form of the Five-Tails Kokuo from their own ninja village, and the other was a giant toad with Jiraiya's familiar figure standing on its head.

At this moment, the Five-Tails, in its complete form and considered by ordinary ninjas to be the most terrifying existence, was being completely suppressed by Jiraiya. The large-scale release of ninjutsu, combined with the invasion of the toads of Mount Myōboku below, clearly showed that the Five-Tails was no match for Jiraiya.

That scarred and battered appearance.

It's clear that he's barely holding on.

The Five-Tails Kokuo is not the Eight-Tails Gyūki, nor the Nine-Tails Kurama. Apart from having an almost inexhaustible amount of chakra, in terms of strength, it is only a Kage-level fighter capable of large-scale destruction. Jiraiya did not even need to enter Sage Mode; with the help of his summoned toads, he was able to suppress the Five-Tails Kokuo!

Some people think that anyone who can suppress or even defeat a Tailed Beast can be called a Super Kage, but that's not the case. It should be corrected to say that, compared to the Eight-Tails Gyūki, you should at least be able to go toe-to-toe with him before you can be called a Super Kage.

This is why the strength of the Third Raikage is undoubtedly at the level of a Kage. In Shoji's opinion, the Fourth Raikage, A, is still far behind his father. Shoji does not believe that the Fourth Raikage has the strength to fight the Eight-Tails Gyūki to a standstill, or even seriously injure the Eight-Tails.

Jiraiya in front of us is clearly qualified. In normal mode, he can overpower the Five-Tails. Once he enters Sage Mode, he can definitely be considered to be at the level of a Kage!

'The more I watch, the more I realize that Jiraiya is significantly stronger than Tsunade and Orochimaru!'

A complex emotion flickered in Jiang Si's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a cold expression.

"boom!"

Within his pupils, the tomoe spun rapidly, coalescing into a four-cornered windmill shape, surging forth with a chilling aura of chakra.

Facing a formidable enemy like Jiraiya, Shoji dared not relax his guard in the slightest.

This must be a battle that requires all our strength from the very beginning.

"Susanoo!"
