Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Xuanma said, "It must have passed through from high in the sky, which is why the White Eyes can't see it; it's too high."

"It's not an invisibility ability, it's just hiding behind the clouds."

The people high in the sky clearly realized they had been discovered, and soon several black dots emerged from behind the clouds—it was the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and his Tsuchikage Guard.

"I'll go and have a look at him!"

Xuanma chuckled, then formed a hand seal and sprouted a pair of wings for himself.

Jiraiya quickly said, "Take us with you!"

Xuanma said with a hint of helplessness, "You and your teacher haven't fully learned how to fly yet, so I'm afraid you can't use this mode I'm in now."

Tsunade frowned: "Are you planning to deal with them all by yourself?"

Sakumo Hatake advised, "There's no need to put yourself in a disadvantageous position."

"We are still on the defensive. If the Third Tsuchikage wants to attack, then let him come down from the air."

Genma nodded: "Master, I understand, but we know too little about the Third Tsuchikage. We should at least try to find out more information."

"Don't worry, if there's any danger, I can use psychic abilities to return to the ground."

With that, he flapped his wings, and with a whoosh, he soared into the sky.

Tsunade and the others covered their faces with their hands, squinting as they watched Genma soar into the sky like an eagle.

"This guy is going way too far!"

Tsunade was indignant, then turned to Jiraiya and asked, "Jiraiya, what did he mean by that just now?"

"You and Senior Sakumo are learning to fly?"

Jiraiya said helplessly, "It's a transformation technique that turns you into a bird to learn to fly, and that's how you master the ability to fly like a bird."

"It is indeed effective, but we don't have much fighting power in the air after turning into birds."

"And it only uses one pair of wings..."

Jiraiya awkwardly spread his hands: "The experience we just accumulated is basically useless."

Tsunade couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Idiot Jiraiya!"

At this moment, Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "Lord Jiraiya, I need to send a message to the village immediately. The Third Hokage said that he would come personally once the Third Tsuchikage appears."

Jiraiya nodded in agreement, but said, "Sending a message is fine, but have Enma tell the old man that there's no need to rush over for now. We'll wait for Genma's results."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He immediately used a summoning technique to summon the Enma. Once the summoning technique was lifted, the Enma would naturally use a reverse summoning technique to tell Hiruzen Sarutobi the information.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were to come to the battlefield, then Shinnosuke Sarutobi would summon Enma again, and Enma would then use the Reverse Summoning Technique.

……

"Lord Tsuchikage, someone's coming up!"

"It should be Konoha's Ranga. This guy can conjure wings and fly. He used this ability when he fought against Roshi and the others."

Hijikata, who was acting as the Tsuchikage's bodyguard, spoke up to offer a reminder.

Onoki nodded slightly and stopped falling, scoffing, "What a bold fellow, daring to come up alone!"

The guard member, Daichi, said, "This guy defeated the Third Raikage first, and then killed Roshi and the others. He must be very bold for his age."

"Lord Tsuchikage, should we launch a surprise attack and take him out in mid-air?"

Onoki said, "No need. Since he dares to come up, let's see what he has to say."

Although he wished he could break down the Wind-Riding Horse into molecules, he still had to maintain his composure as the Tsuchikage.

Soon, Genma rushed up and hovered opposite Onoki and his group of five, with less than thirty meters between them.

"As expected, it's Lord Tsuchikage!"

Xuanma chuckled and spoke.

Onoki sized up Genma: "You're Genma?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanma immediately looked apologetic: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

"I am Genma Mikaze, a Jonin of Konoha!"

"Is the Tsuchikage here in our Land of Fire for inspiration?"

This is a rhetorical question.

Onoki frowned, then said in a deep voice, "Wood Release brat, are you mocking this old man?"

"Hmph, it's normal for two armies to gather intelligence during a war."

"However, I am somewhat surprised that you dare to appear before me like this."

"It seems you think that I can't do anything to you."

Genma smiled and said, "Since Lord Tsuchikage flew so high, I naturally had no choice but to come up."

"Of course, I have long admired Lord Tsuchikage and I do want to witness the unique bloodline limit in the ninja world."

"I believe Lord Tsuchikage won't disappoint me!"

The four members of Hijikata were secretly surprised when they saw the Wind-Riding Horse: This kid is indeed arrogant, daring to openly provoke Lord Tsuchikage!

"Lord Tsuchikage, let's finish off this arrogant fellow right here!"

With his bronze skin and tall, muscular build, Akaiwa volunteered to fight Onoki.

The short and stocky Ishikawa chimed in, "We have the advantage here, Tsuchikage-sama, let me and Akagi make the first move!"

This time, neither Tu Fang nor Da Di made a sound.

Let Ishikawa and Akaiwa test the waters first.

Although they had gathered a lot of information about the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse, the fact that it dared to abandon its geographical advantage and come to the air made them extremely cautious.

Moreover, their primary duty is actually to protect the Earth Shadow!

However, Onoki refused his subordinate: "Since you want to try out my Dust Release, then I'll grant your wish!"

After saying that, Onoki clasped his hands together and opened them, and a cone-shaped, blazing white, transparent energy barrier immediately appeared between his palms.

Immediately afterwards, the energy barrier extended outwards, heading straight for the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse.

Moreover, Xuanma noticed that as the barrier extended, it was also expanding its range.

Clearly, this takes into account his displacement ability.

Moreover, this range is far beyond the distance he can move.

boom!

Genma immediately flapped its wings and flew upwards, escaping the lock-on range of Onoki's Dust Release.

Seemingly anticipating his move, Onoki's bodyguard, Akaiwa, reacted swiftly, rapidly forming hand seals and spewing thick flames towards the direction Genma was moving.

The short and stocky Ishikawa immediately moved, rushing past beneath the rolling flames while rapidly forming hand seals.

The flames narrowly missed Xuanma's feet as they hurtled past.

Ishikawa stopped and, from bottom to top, opened his mouth and spat out a series of iron cannons.

As Onoki's body rose, his palms came together and opened again, and Dust Release was rapidly brewing.

The coordination and cooperation were incredibly seamless and meticulous.

"As expected of Onoki!"

Xuanma secretly praised, and his body burst with lightning. The rock iron cannons that were shot towards him were hit by the lightning and exploded.

At the same time, Xuanma raised his right hand.

The next moment, thick bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

Boom!

The lightning flashed and thunder roared, its speed even surpassing Onoki's Dust Release.

"Keep your distance!"

Onoki's expression changed slightly. He abandoned his spell, moved backward, and dodged the lightning strikes while creating distance.

Neither Onoki nor his four guards were injured in the thunderstorm.

"It's still not dense enough and needs to be improved."

Xuanma secretly assessed the situation, then flapped its wings and swooped down, unleashing astonishing speed.

"So fast!"

Ishikawa was startled and immediately used the Rock Iron Cannon Technique again, firing one Rock Iron Cannon after another from his mouth.

Red Rock immediately cooperated, opening its mouth and spewing flames, igniting the rock cannons and forming fire rock cannons.

Genma, in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, drew his Storm Fang short sword and shattered the rock iron cannons with pinpoint accuracy.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly closing.

Rock Fist Technique!

Ishikawa and Akaiwa's right hands were encased in thick rock as they blasted at the charging Wind-Riding Black Horse.

Xuanma had already sheathed his sword, extended both arms, and quickly threw punches.

With the first punch, the rocks covering Ishikawa and Akaiwa's arms cracked open.

With the second punch, the rock in his hand shattered.

With the third punch, Ishikawa and Akaiwa both suffered broken arms and were sent flying backward.

Immediately afterwards, Xuanma's body disappeared and reappeared a dozen meters away.

Onoki's Dust Release barrier failed once again.

This time he didn't cover a large area because he still had two subordinates.

"He's definitely a tough guy!"

Onoki glanced at his two injured subordinates and immediately ordered them to retreat.
