Naruto: My setting is above yours.

what does this mean?

This means that the brat riding the wind and black horse is stronger than when he fought him before!

"Is Konoha about to produce another Hashirama Senju?"

The Third Raikage gritted his teeth, his expression grim.

Tsuchikage looked grave, but he reassured him, "Lord Raikage, based on the intelligence, we can basically deduce that the ability of the Wind-Riding Horse comes from Hashirama Senju."

"He can be said to be a clone of Hashirama Senju, which is why he is able to possess such amazing power at such a young age."

"That is precisely why it is foreseeable that his strength will not improve much in the future."

"As a copy, it would be difficult for him to surpass Hashirama Senju."

"Of course, this refers to Wood Release and recovery ability. Putting those aside, we have to admit that Genma Yufeng is still a genius of Lightning Release."

The Third Raikage nodded slightly at the analysis of the earthen platform, his expression improving considerably.

Suppressing his inner turmoil, he began to think seriously: "Konoha's strength is indeed not good news for us, but Iwagakure has now lost two tailed beasts, which is an opportunity for us."

"Tsuchi, keep a close eye on the war between Iwagakure and Konoha, especially the situation in Iwagakure. We must be prepared to go into battle."

"Also, we can start forming search teams now. The Four-Tails and Five-Tails are dead, but they will revive soon. We must try to find them first!"

Tsuchikage accepted the order: "Yes, Raikage-sama, I'll make the arrangements immediately!"

……

At the front lines, Xuanma was unaware of the specific reactions from all sides and focused solely on his cultivation.

The latest development to be carried out is the "Heaven and Earth Formation" technique, while the previously completed "Flower Blooming Moment" and the "Lightning Release Ninjutsu: Thunderstorm" all need to be advanced.

So he's actually quite busy.

Fortunately, he has shadow clones, so he doesn't need to perform other tasks.

However, when reviewing his battles with the two tailed beasts, Genma finally remembered that his Wood Release had a major flaw compared to Hashirama Senju.

That means it cannot absorb the chakra of the tailed beasts.

This also means that the Wood Release technique used to suppress the Tailed Beasts is far less effective than Hashirama's version.

Or rather, the Divine Tree version!

Hashirama Senju's Wood Release technique is a natural counter to tailed beasts.

Genma believed that his Wood Release was the authentic Wood Release, although it was not formed by nature transformation and fusion.

Fortunately, it seems there is a solution.

For example, Wood Release combined with Chakra Extraction Technique!

Using Wood Release as an extension of his own limbs, he absorbs the chakra of the Tailed Beasts through chakra refining techniques, achieving the same effect as Hashirama's Wood Release.

It's not just about absorbing the chakra of tailed beasts; any ninja can suppress them using chakra refining techniques.

This idea gave Xuanma another task.

At noon, Tsunade appeared at the front line, along with Shizune and Kumin.

As he stepped out of the wooden house, Genma looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression: "What brings you here?"

Tsunade crossed her arms, clearly annoyed by what she heard: "Can't we come to the front lines?"

Shizune ran to Genma's side and explained, "Lady Tsunade is worried that the Third Tsuchikage will come to the battlefield."

Tsunade immediately retorted, "I'm not worried at all."

"It's just because someone stole my duty as a medical ninja."

After saying this, Tsunade became more serious and said, "There are people in charge of the medical team, which is enough. I can play a greater role on the front line, especially when the troops are concentrated."

Genma understood Tsunade's meaning and nodded: "That's true."

"Then you can just assemble a temporary medical team."

"As for the Third Tsuchikage, even if he came, he wouldn't be able to change the overall situation."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Do you know anything about the Tsuchikage?"

"Don't let your guard down!"

After inviting the group into the wooden house and having them sit down, Genma smiled and said, "I have some knowledge of the Third Tsuchikage."

"The only person in the ninja world to date who has mastered the bloodline limit."

"It is said that the Tsuchikage's Dust Release can dismantle all defenses."

Tsunade nodded slightly: "Although I haven't personally fought the Third Tsuchikage, Dust Release was created by the Second Tsuchikage, so I have some information about it."

"Those who master Dust Release possess the ability to fly. It is said that the Second Tsuchikage also has a very strong ability to hide, which can shield chakra perception. Even the Byakugan cannot see through him, hence the title 'No Man'."

"As the disciple of the Second Tsuchikage, the Third Tsuchikage inherited his Dust Release, and he may possess all of these abilities."

"No matter how you look at it, this is a very tough opponent."

Both Jingyin and Huixiang looked serious upon hearing this.

"If they can attack while flying in the air, they are indeed very difficult to deal with."

Shizune frowned and analyzed, "Although Genma can fly in the air, he has lost his Wood Release. Even his Lightning Release would be difficult to unleash its full power in the air, right?"

Fennel said worriedly, "If even chakra can be blocked, then my Kagura Mind's Eye is useless."

"Being able to fly and become invisible, wouldn't it be easy to infiltrate behind enemy lines and launch an attack?"

"That sounds like an insurmountable ability. How did the Second Tsuchikage die in battle?"

"Besides, wasn't our First Hokage the strongest back then?"

Shizune paused for a moment, then said, "Hey, that makes sense too."

Tsunade said, "Although Dust Release, or the Second and Third Tsuchikage, certainly have their own flaws, we don't know the information yet, so we must be cautious."

Sensing the somber atmosphere, Genma smiled and said, "Well, these analyses are certainly correct."

"But we don't need to be so... well, nervous."

"The ability to conceal oneself from chakra perception is indeed terrifying, but he shouldn't be able to conceal physical perception, right?"

Fennel's eyes lit up: "A barrier!"

Tsunade immediately thought of Jiraiya; she remembered that the idiot knew barrier-type sensory ninjutsu.

Genma continued, "Fighting in the air would indeed greatly weaken my abilities."

"However, it must be admitted that in the air, my agility and speed are not bad. At least I don't think the Third Tsuchikage can compare to me."

"I can't use my Wood Release, but I also can't use the Third Tsuchikage's Earth Release abilities."

He then changed the subject: "Of course, when facing the Third Tsuchikage who wields the Kekkei Tota, one can never be too cautious."

"If he shows up, we can test his abilities further."

"Don't forget, if there is any danger, I can teleport myself to your side at any time."

"Unless he has the ability to wipe us all out at once!"

Hearing this, Jingyin and Huixiang were completely relieved.

Tsunade scoffed to herself, "This guy seems to have been prepared all along."

That put her at ease.

She felt that the Third Tsuchikage was definitely a more difficult opponent than the Third Raikage.

This guy is older and more experienced than the Third Raikage. He's someone who has lived through two eras of transition, so he's definitely not to be underestimated.

In particular, Dust Release is said to be able to dismantle all defenses.

Then the powerful defense and even the amazing self-healing ability of the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse would be useless.

At that moment, Yamashiro Aoba appeared at the door, slightly out of breath: "The Third Tsuchikage has appeared on the battlefield!"

The four people inside all turned to look at the doorway.

"It's really here! That was so fast!"

Shizune couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

The battle broke out yesterday afternoon, and it hasn't even been a day yet!

Genma stood up and laughed, "Let's go, I'll take you there and show you the might of the Tsuchikage!"

Yamashiro Aoba scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Well, the Third Tsuchikage should have just arrived at the Iwagakure area, there's no need to rush."

Tsunade stood up and said, "Then let's not waste chakra, the distance isn't far."

at the same time.

On the other side, Onoki and his Tsuchikage guards arrived at the battlefield before the reinforcements, but they did not rush to attack.

After gaining a more detailed understanding of the battlefield situation, he decided to personally lead a team to conduct aerial reconnaissance of Konoha.

When Genma and his group arrived at the front line, Jiraiya and the others were also on high alert.

After waiting for an hour, no information came back about Iwa ninja launching an attack or the Third Tsuchikage appearing.

After thinking for a moment, Xuanma activated Sage Mode, and his powerful perception spread rapidly with the help of the omnipresent natural energy.

"They were already secretly observing us from above!"

Xuanma suddenly looked up and chuckled.

Chapter 110 Showdown with Dust Escape!

Top of the head?

Jiraiya and the others all looked up.

But apart from the drifting clouds, there was nothing else to see.

Tsunade's gaze darkened: "Invisibility ability?"

Jiraiya said, "No wonder I didn't even notice the Byakugan."
