The Third Raikage moved swiftly, passing by one Iwa ninja after another, a kunai appearing in his hand as he reaped the lives of Iwa ninja one by one.

At the same time, he was also sensing the chakra aura.

Now, this is the only way we can find each other.

Tsuchishi naturally realized the Third Raikage's intentions and took some action. However, he didn't take immediate action. Instead, he waited for the Third Raikage to roughly locate his area, then moved, and then waited for the Third Raikage to find him before moving again.

After several attempts, by the time the Third Raikage realized what was happening, a considerable amount of time had passed. A full hour—a full hour of searching—had consumed enough chakra for him to sustain himself for three hours with minimal effort!

Damn!

The Third Raikage never imagined that, on the verge of death, he would be disgusted by such a lowly person.

The battle continued, with Iwa ninja losing their lives one by one, while the Third Raikage remained unharmed, creating a tense atmosphere on the battlefield.

Many of the junior and junior ninja were already somewhat fearful. If the commander hadn't repeatedly reminded them that the enemy's condition was declining, deserters would probably have already started to appear.

This also shows that the Iwagakure ninja are of very high quality; even now, not a single one has deserted. While the role of the commanders certainly plays a part, the most important factor is the quality of the Iwagakure ninja themselves.

Onoki raised so many ninjas and didn't neglect their basic training, which makes him a very qualified Kage.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade"

Tu Shi fired another Wind Release beam, which the Third Raikage, exhausted and unable to withstand, was struck and sent flying backward.

"I'm not reconciled!"

The Third Raikage opened his eyes wide; if eyes could speak, that would be the meaning.

For a film-level actor to be so shameless!

Even so, the Third Raikage did not suffer any obvious injuries, which shows how strong his body was.

The Third Raikage stood up, glaring angrily at the Iwagakure army. He wanted to attack, but feeling that his body had reached its limit, he could only close his eyes in reluctance.

Since he began cultivating his soul, he has also developed some techniques targeting the soul. Of course, he hasn't developed any techniques to attack the soul, but he does have techniques to sense the soul. Although they are not very useful in ordinary times, they are very useful for sensing the life or death of enemies, which is especially important in ninja battles.

Sensing that the Third Raikage's life force was dissipating and his soul was also dissipating, Tsuchishi confirmed that the other party was dead.

"Lava Fireball"

Under the shocked gaze of his "comrades," Tsuchishi, wielding a lava fireball, cleared away the Iwa ninja along the way and arrived at the corpse of the Third Raikage.

He took out the scroll, sealed the Third Raikage's corpse, and put it into his ninja tool pouch. The whole sequence of movements was fluid and graceful.

"Soil and rocks!"

The commander was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized who it was and recognized the guy who had taken the Third Raikage's body.

Not only him, but most of the Iwa ninja recognized Tsuchishi.

"No, no, no, let me correct you, I am from the Immortal Organization—Earth and Stone!"

This time, Tsuchishi intends to make the Sage Organization famous. Now is the perfect time for the Sage Organization to emerge. The timing of his main body's attempt to establish the Sage Organization's reputation in the future timeline wasn't ideal; it occurred at the most sensitive time for all the ninja villages, right before the outbreak, making them the focus of intense scrutiny.

Having learned from experience this time, he chose this particular time and did not intend to cause trouble continuously. He simply wanted to establish the reputation of the Immortal Organization first, and then gradually reveal its true ferocity during the war.

"Lava Fireball"

Tu Shi threw the lava fireball in his hand toward the commander, and then gathered three more fireballs in succession, throwing them at the three elite Jonin respectively.

After a series of battles, not only the Third Raikage, but also the rest of them were exhausted, their chakra almost depleted.

"This is a new move I developed. Let's see you guys try it out!"

The earth and rocks, suspended high in the air, showed no fear in the face of an army of tens of thousands.

"Meteorite Falls from the Sky"

As the earth and stones formed hand seals, a massive meteorite began to condense in the air. If Jiraiya or any other ninja skilled in Sage Mode were here, they would surely have sensed the surrounding natural energy surging in frantically. It was precisely this massive influx of natural energy that caused the meteorite to continuously gather and grow until it covered half the sky.

The meteorite crashed into the area with the highest concentration of Iwa ninja, creating a deafening roar that silenced everyone present, leaving only the booming sound in their ears.

"The power is not bad."

"A shower of stars"

Then, he formed another hand seal, and countless meteorites formed in the air. They were much smaller than the previous one, but their number was so great that it was terrifying.

Meteorites rained down from the sky, landing among the Hidden Rock Army and causing enormous losses.

With just these two attacks, the number of ninjas killed by the earth and stone attack exceeded that of the Third Raikage.

Of course, the Third Raikage might also be able to do it, but choosing to fight for two days and two nights was more about buying time.

Having witnessed the power of the two new spells, Tu Shi was quite satisfied. These two spells could actually be considered somewhat like magic, with the ability to draw upon natural energy, increasing power while greatly reducing energy consumption. They were arguably Tu Shi's greatest achievement in the past two years.

Tsuchishi, or rather Uchiha Kiyoshi, never considered himself a righteous person. He simply had a bottom line in his heart, as long as it didn't harm him—his final line. Of course, this applied to ninjas; civilians were a different story. He felt more compassion for them and wouldn't slaughter civilians without reason. It was only when dealing with ninjas that, due to factors such as faction and stance, he would go on a killing spree.

The purpose of killing so many Iwagakure ninja this time was not only to test new techniques, but also to weaken the power of Iwagakure.

According to his judgment, under the guidance of certain factors, the basic course of the Third Shinobi World War will not change. In other words, Iwagakure and other ninja villages will still fight a major battle. The losses will be considerable, and it is even possible that the killing of thousands of ninjas by the earth and stone incident will lead to defeat and greater losses in the subsequent war.

This would significantly weaken Iwagakure's power. Not only Iwagakure, but also other ninja villages like Uchiha Kiyoshi and his numerous clones would intervene at the opportune moment to inflict greater losses on them, thus reducing the obstacles they would face in the subsequent unification of the ninja world.

"We've killed enough, it's time to go."

Tu Shi looked down at the Rock Village troops, now half gone, muttered a few words, and prepared to leave.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about you."

The Root spy was still gloating when the sound of earth and stone came from behind, and a kunai pierced through his chest.

The spy stared wide-eyed, opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't utter a word.

The next moment, the soil and rocks disappeared.

The name of the Immortal Organization was also firmly imprinted in the hearts of the more than 5,000 surviving Iwa ninja.

One day later, Konoha.

"Jiraiya".

The Third Hokage looked at the intelligence report in his hand with a heavy expression and called out to Jiraiya, who was reviewing intelligence from two years ago.

"Hmm? Teacher, has something big happened at the front? Didn't Orochimaru go with them? Given the current situation in Kumogakure, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?"

The two members of the Kumogakure duo are currently on the battlefield in the Land of Earth. Could it be that the Third Raikage has arrived?

Just as Jiraiya was lost in thought, the Third Hokage spoke up.

"It's not what you think." Seemingly aware of Jiraiya's thoughts, the Third Hokage first denied it, then continued, "The Third Raikage did not return to the Land of Lightning, but instead led the remaining Cloud Village ninjas to infiltrate the rear of the Land of Earth. They were surrounded by tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninjas. In order to cover the retreat of the village ninjas, the Third Raikage stayed behind alone and fought against the Iwagakure army for two days and two nights, eventually dying from exhaustion."

Up to this point, Jiraiya still hadn't heard anything that would warrant such seriousness from his teacher, the Hokage.

Wait a minute, two days and two nights? Shouldn't major battles always be three days and three nights, or ten days and ten nights, to make sense? Is the Third Raikage really that weak?

"At that time, Tsuchishi was hiding in the Iwa ninja army and attacked in secret. The Third Raikage only lasted for two days and two nights."

......

The Third Hokage, for reasons unknown, offered this explanation, then continued, "In the end, Tsuchishi took away the Third Raikage's body and used two forbidden techniques to summon meteors, killing over three thousand Iwagakure ninja!"

Two ninjutsu techniques wiped out more than three thousand ninjas!

"Before that, Tu Shi also mentioned a name, the name of an organization."

The Third Hokage stared at Jiraiya, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Jiraiya sensed that what followed was the key point, or at least the main purpose of his teacher's words, and likely something the teacher himself cared deeply about. And what he cared about most right now was, naturally, that prophecy...

"The Immortal Organization! Tu Shi claims to be a member of the Immortal Organization!"

The office fell silent.

After a long pause, Jiraiya broke the silence, "So, the sage mentioned in the prophecy is very likely the leader of this Sage Organization, and the red eyes are either a characteristic of this leader or a member of the organization?"

......

While the Third Hokage and Jiraiya were grappling with the relationship between the Sage Organization and the prophecy, other forces in the ninja world also received intelligence about this battle.

There's nothing we can do about it. Espionage is something that can't be stopped, and this incident was too big, involving tens of thousands of ninjas, of whom more than five thousand survived. Naturally, there were spies among them, and it's understandable that various factions were able to obtain intelligence.

The Third Raikage fought against an army of tens of thousands of ninjas for two days and two nights before finally dying from exhaustion!

It can be considered that a legend has been left behind.

The earth and stone ninjutsu, which summoned meteors to kill three thousand ninjas, demonstrated the power of earth and stone to everyone, making it even more shocking than the Third Raikage's achievements.

The name of the Immortal Organization also left a deep impression on them because of the soil and rocks.

Chapter 255 Becoming Famous

"Damn it! Damn the earth and rocks, damn the Immortal Organization!"

On the battlefield of the Land of Earth, at the front line of Kumogakure, A slammed his fist on the table and roared in anger.

Everyone present wore somber expressions, finding it hard to believe the news of the Third Raikage's death.

The man who suppressed the Eight-Tails fought against tens of thousands of ninjas to cover his village's ninjas, and died from exhaustion.

And those damned Tu Shi, hiding among the ninja army to launch a sneak attack, utterly disgraced a Kage-level powerhouse.

At this moment, the ninjas of Kumogakure were not considering Tsuchishi's subsequent actions. All they knew was that their Kage had stayed behind alone to hold off tens of thousands of enemy troops in order to allow the village's ninjas to retreat, but had been ambushed by this despicable fellow, Tsuchishi!

The incident was still the same incident, but the descriptions given by spies from different villages when passing on intelligence were certainly different. In the case of Kumogakure, the act of Tsuchishi hiding among the army and launching sneak attacks was naturally highlighted.

The reason why the Third Raikage stayed behind was also embellished. It didn't mention any strategy for the upcoming mission or a pincer attack. It only stated that he stayed behind to cover the retreat of the village's ninjas.

In fact, it's not just the Hidden Cloud Village; other villages are similar. Even if the spies bring back normal news, the higher-ups will embellish the information before spreading it down to the lower levels.

The goal is to instill in the village's ninjas the understanding that staying behind to cover their comrades' retreat is an act worthy of admiration and respect!

Of course, even with various versions of the story, the fact that Tsuchishi annihilated three thousand Iwa ninja and left calmly is undeniable. This is even more shocking than the news of the Third Raikage. Currently, the entire ninja world is in awe of Tsuchishi's power.

At this moment, apart from the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Stone Village had the strongest reaction to this incident in the entire ninja world.

After all, Tsuchishi took the Third Raikage's body on the spot and then killed three thousand Iwagakure ninjas, causing great losses to Iwagakure.

In fact, the losses were even greater than those of Kumogakure. After all, the Third Raikage was surrounded by tens of thousands of ninjas, and his death was inevitable. But the situation was different for Iwagakure. Three thousand ninjas were taken away by the sudden appearance of earth and rocks, a huge loss.

"Tsuchishi, that bastard!" At this moment, Onoki gripped the scroll tightly in his hand, so angry that his vision blurred.

Three thousand ninjas—one-tenth of the entire village's ninja force—were wiped out by the earth and stone, including an excellent commander and three elite Jonin! Crucially, they didn't even achieve any results; even the Third Raikage's corpse, a trophy, was taken. The village has truly suffered a devastating loss.
