Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Ball Technique!"

"Secret Technique—Insect Devouring Technique!"

"Complete Expansion Technique!"

In an instant, the attacks launched by each faction began. Akimichi Choza immediately used his clan's secret technique to swell his body to a size even larger than the centipede puppet.

"boom!"

A frontal assault.

"Boom!"

"The soul is pale!"

The moment the centipede was subjected to these attacks, the puppet's expression turned extremely ugly.

"absorb!"

This rapidly unfolding barrier can absorb the ninjutsu released by Shoji, Minato, and others, but Choza's pure physical attacks and Shiki's parasitic insect attacks are not so easy to deal with!

"boom!"

"The soul is pale!"

The swaying sensation from the heavy impact.

This forced the centipede puppet to retreat and pull away.

This obstruction forced him to a standstill. Not far away, Naruto and Sara had long since disappeared. This enraged Baizu instantly. No matter how confident he was, Baizu knew very well that his power was built upon the continuous supply of the dragon vein.

Once the power of the dragon vein is completely shut down by Sara, the power of his puppet will be greatly reduced, and there is a high probability that he will be crushed to death by the opponent!

It was just a brief exchange.

Baizu was already fully aware of how terrifying the four people opposite him were. Of course, he didn't know that Jiang Si hadn't even used half of his strength. Just because of that, Baizu knew very well that he would have a hard time defeating the four people in front of him!

Unless he relies on the power of the Dragon Vein to drag the fight out until the opponent runs out of chakra, then he will definitely win. But now the other party is about to shut down the Dragon Vein, and the thought of no longer being able to obtain the power of the Dragon Vein is unbearable.

"Damn it! If you're so tough, stop running around like that! Let's settle this head-on, you bunch of rats!"

The centipede was desperate to find a breakthrough.

However, it was impossible for Shoji, Minato, Choza, and Shimi to actually confront the Centipede head-on. Only Choza needed to launch a strong frontal attack to firmly restrict the Centipede puppet's movements, while the other three could take turns providing varying degrees of restraint from the sidelines.

Knowing that the guy has the ability to absorb chakra, normally one wouldn't easily use ninjutsu.

But as soon as you see Centipede risking everything to forcefully suppress Dingza.

"Lightning Release - False Darkness Technique!"

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Shoji and Minato will once again join forces to unleash a powerful ninjutsu in the first instant, with surging waves and explosive lightning!

The roar came from both sides at that moment.

"Splash!"

"Boom!"

A series of violent bombardments erupted.

"hateful!"

They are all puppets that can just rightly force back centipedes.

"Secret Technique - Insect Rain Assault!"

Zhiwei also made good use of his parasitic worms to sometimes launch surprise attacks on Centipede, and sometimes stand in front of Dingzuo to block some of the attacks that Dingzuo could not defend against from his blind spots.

The four of them coordinated their attacks perfectly, with seamless, continuous attacks.

It constantly divides and hinders the centipede's movements.

This has driven the minister of Loulan Kingdom to the brink of madness.

"You bastard! You bastard! You bastard!"

This was like a large, flexible, and binding net, tightly binding Centipede, leaving him nowhere to hide, and his puppet soldiers were of no use whatsoever.

The general easily brought the sword down with a single, flat strike.

"boom!"

"Crack!"

The bursting thunderous power could easily sever and destroy more than ten puppet soldiers, but Minato, Choza, and Shimi were not likely to be entangled by these puppet soldiers.

Centipede, which was already gradually falling into a completely unfavorable situation, only realized at this moment its extremely foolish arrogance.

"Damn it! You lowly bunch of bastards!"

Centipede was absolutely furious!

"If you're so capable, let's have a head-on confrontation!"

In that hoarse roar, one could clearly hear the intense panic belonging to this minister, An Lushan.

397. Resolution and Conclusion

At that moment, he realized how arrogant and foolish he had been.

He completely overestimated his own strength.

If they can't even defeat a few Konoha ninjas, how can they possibly intimidate the Five Great Nations and dominate the ninja world?!

He fully realized that he had only obtained a negligible amount of power, and that this power had a fatal flaw. Once the dragon vein was completely shut down, the puppets he had created would lose their powerful ability to self-repair. At that time, at most, the other party would just have to spend some more time to forcefully dismantle all his armor, leaving him with nothing but death!

The strong self-confidence he had built up over the past few years was completely shattered at this moment, and a sense of fear, unprecedented since his defection from Sunagakure, surged from the depths of his heart!

'I can't die here! I absolutely cannot die here! My ambitions, my grand undertaking, my future—no one can stop me! This is something I must achieve!'

With his sense of crisis becoming extremely strong, Centipede no longer considered how to win; now, all he could think about was surviving, and he completely changed his combat style.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

The massive figure suddenly retreated, then commanded the puppet soldiers in the surrounding positions to swarm forward, even attempting to use self-destruction to delay and hinder the attacks of Shoji, Minato, and others.

"This guy's trying to escape! Stop him!"

This is a clearly evident change.

Minato and Shoji noticed it immediately, and their expressions changed. With the tacit understanding unique to masters, they scattered and forcibly blocked the retreat path of the Centipede!

Having lost all will to fight, the only thought deep in his heart was to leave this hellish place as quickly as possible and simply want to survive!

"Get out of my way!"

A look of fury appeared on the puppet's face, and a crimson light shone from its pupils.

"Whoosh!"

The mouth suddenly opened wide, and from inside it protruded a thick, long, dark object resembling a gun barrel.

A dazzling light that condensed and emerged.

"!?"

At this moment, Centipede mobilized all the chakra and dragon vein power it could muster, attaching itself to both of them!

"Buzz!"

The radiant light and shadow.

A beam of laser light was ejected.

In the front position.

Jiang Si's eyes narrowed slightly.

'Looks like we need to get serious a bit more involved!'

A chilling expression appeared on his face.

"Lightning Release - Lightning Dragon Flash Technique!"

With a swift clap of his hands, he unleashed a massive amount of chakra, directly employing an A-rank Lightning Release technique!

This surging momentum.

Not far away, Ding Zuo and Zhi Wei's expressions suddenly changed.

Completed imprint.

A gigantic lightning dragon roared up, its furious cry accompanied by a terrifying shockwave.

"Whoosh!"

In the front position.

The moment the two collided, another brilliant burst of light and shadow erupted.

"Splash!"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and for a moment it seemed as if the entire tower was shaking, creating an extremely loud and palpable roar.

The two almost completely cancel each other out.

"How can it be repaired?"

The centipede puppet's face also revealed an extremely ferocious expression, and at the same time...

"Buzz!"

All around, a subtle spatial tremor could be clearly sensed. The bright purple halo that had originally emanated from the tower slowly disappeared with that tremor!

The colors gradually faded.

The central tower has returned to a state of calm and gloom.

'The dragon vein has been shut down!'

In an instant!
