Chapter 287: News From Konoha Battlefield
Uehara was right.
When huge hailstones fell one after another in the sky, it became a game of luck for Kumo ninjas on the battlefield to survive.
These hailstones were all made from Ice Release Ninjutsu in the air. Although the power of the descent was not as powerful as the meteorites in outer space, it won in numbers.
When the disaster descended, Kumo ninjas could only escape quickly. The Jonin Ninja tried to use Lightning Release Ninjutsu to destroy the hailstones, but it was just a drop in the bucket. Even Darui couldn’t help but reveal a trace of despair on his face.
No matter how much chakra he had, it was simply impossible for him to destroy all the huge hailstones that fell like rain. This was a devastating disaster!
Darui glanced at the fallen companions around him. His eyes slowly became somewhat dejected, as if he had no strength to fight back in this war. In front of this natural disaster, what could they, these ninjas, do…
“That guy…”
Darui glanced at the enemy in the black robe. That guy was walking towards Hachibi as if he was strolling in a leisurely manner. His movements were like spring tours.
Darui raised his head and looked at the huge hailstone that was falling towards him. He sighed and said, “Our strength… is really not in the same dimension!”
“What do you mean not in the same dimension!”
Ai suddenly appeared beside Darui. He endured his injuries and sent the huge hailstone flying, saving his proudest subordinates.
Ai looked at Darui and loudly reprimanded, “Don’t give up so easily, Darui! This is just ninjutsu released by the weather! Let the chakra cannons break the sky!”
“Raikage-sama…”
Darui’s eyes slightly trembled.
Ai’s guess was not wrong. When the several hundred meters high hailstones fell, he had already ordered his secretary Mabui to write an order and quickly send it to the area where the Chakra Cannon was set up.
They only needed to stay here for a while!
The Chakra Cannon would definitely be able to scatter the dark cloud in the sky.
It’s just that in this short time…
Ai, Darui, and the others need to be persisted.
However, Hachibi did not persist. It was easily knocked down to the ground by Uehara and turned back into the exhausted Killer Bee.
Uehara carefully examined it and found that this Killer Bee was not what Hachibi had transformed into using his tentacles. He then threw him to Sasuke, “Alright, bring Hachibi back!”
“Yes, Senpai.”
Sasuke nodded.
Just as all of Kumo Ninja’s people had died and Uehara planned to summon the Ancient Dragon to leave. Just as he was waiting for Kumogakure to be destroyed by his Ice Release Ninjutsu, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the distance!
In the blink of an eye, a large hole appeared in the dark cloud in the sky!
One energy after another shot through the dark cloud in the sky!
The sunlight soon gradually fell down, and the sky finally stopped raining hailstone. The ice release technique that the enemy released that could destroy Kumogakure was finally resolved.
Not only that.
Moreover, Mabui also ordered the other troops to come to support them. Soon, teams of Kumo Ninja climbed up the arena.
In fact, they seemed to have even more people than before?
“Are they… here to die?”
Uehara’s eyelids twitched. He waved his hand and summoned his Ancient Dragon. He said softly, “Sasori-senpai, Sasuke, Deidara, bring Hachibi Jinchuriki back! I will deal with them.”
“Senpai, I will stay and help you!”
“There is no need.”
Uehara shook his head; he looked at Sasuke and said, “The most important thing now is to bring Hachibi back. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Senpai.”
Sasuke nodded and looked at the descending Ancient Dragon.
Deidara carried Killer Bee and jumped onto the Ancient Dragon.
Suddenly, he said, “Hey, Uehara, be careful!”
“Be careful.”
Sasori nodded politely at Uehara.
In fact, Sasori nodded purely out of courtesy. After all, Uehara was strong enough to destroy so many ninja villages. In addition, even if he couldn’t win, he could escape at any time!
For ninjas like them who could fly, the choice and innate advantage in the war were simply too great.
Uehara watched them leave with Killer Bee on the Ancient Dragon. This period of time was just the time for the Chakra Cannon to recharge, and no one would be able to threaten them.
After leaving, Uehara turned to look at the thousands of Kumo Ninjas. Ai, Darui and other Kumo Ninjas started to surround him.
“I thought you would escape.”
Ai looked at Uehara and slightly narrowed his eyes. He coldly ordered his subordinates, “Be careful; this little brat is very fast. Don’t let him escape! And be careful of his weather-type ninjutsu!”
Ai clenched his fists and walked towards Uehara step by step, “I have to admit that Akatsuki strength is indeed strange, but it can’t stop Kumogakure’s thunderbolt! I will catch you first and then interrogate your Akatsuki location!”
“How whimsical…”
Uehara looked at Ai. He spread out his arms and smiled, “If Kumogakure were destroyed, maybe I would have already escaped… But now it seems that you have not recognized the horror of Akatsuki!”
Uehara smiled and narrowed his eyes. He suddenly closed his palm, “Originally, it was enough to simply destroy Kumogakure, but now it seems that Raikage-dono wants me to do something even worse to Kumogakure…”
“What do you want to do?”
Ai closely watched Uehara’s movements.
This time, no matter what Ninjutsu Uehara wanted to release, he would risk his life to break his hand seal and let his subordinates capture him.
“I don’t want to do anything…”
Uehara stared at Ai, and the smile on his lips gradually became more and more strange, “I just want to show you… how terrifying Akatsuki is!”
Uehara suddenly raised his palm to the sky. He did not even make the slightest gesture before directly releasing his technique, “Since you are born with the sound of thunder, then disappearance with the thunder! Lightning Release, Slicing Maelstrom!”
A thundercloud storm suddenly appeared in the sky!
In just a few seconds, this thundercloud storm covered the entire Kumogakure; even the idlest mountain peak on the periphery of Kumogakure was also covered.
Countless lightning wandered in the thundercloud storm.
Every Kumo ninjas couldn’t help but look at the thundercloud storm in the air. The power contained in it even made them feel faintly horrified. This technique had already surpassed all the lightning Ninjutsu they knew!
Ai’s eyes almost burst out of their sockets. He stared at the thousands of lightning bolts that suddenly fell from the sky and said in a low voice, “Everyone, be careful…”
“… Run!”
Uehara watched as endless bolts of lightning struck down, striking Kumo ninjas one after another and causing them to fall to the ground one by one.
Uehara looked down at the enemies who were trying to use Ninjutsu or body replacement techniques to dodge the lightning attacks. His voice whispered on the battlefield, “Try your best to escape… In any case, you won’t be able to escape. “
Uehara slowly stroked his hair and looked at Ai’s figure standing unyielding in the lightning attack. However, the Kumo ninjas around him were struck down by lightning. Even if the Jonin ninjas tried their best, they would not be able to save a few of their colleagues.
Ten minutes later.
The entire Kumogakure was filled with wailing cries.
Fortunately, the people in the village had always lived here. Almost every household had a lightning shelter facility, so many people were spared.
The ninjas in the arena created by Uehara were not so lucky.
In this area, they had no shelter. They could only quietly wait for the lightning to fall. Even if they were good at lighting ninjutsu, they could not withstand the attacks of thousands of lightning bolts.
Only Ai remained standing.
With the powerful defense of the Lightning Chakra mode and with his speed, he could completely avoid the lightning that would only fall for 0.5 seconds. He could even withstand the attacks.
Uehara glanced at Dark Harvest skill and then looked deeply at Ai, “Raikage-dono, I wish you good luck.”
“You bastard, what else do you want to do!”
Ai was almost unable to suppress the anger on his face.
At this moment, he completely disregarded the gap between his strength and Uehara’s and flew towards Uehara to fight for his life!
Unfortunately, Uehara’s figure suddenly disappeared, and Ai only caught his after image. In the next moment, he felt his feet tremble.
This arena was shaking!
No, this arena was about to collapse!
Ai immediately remembered that this arena was made by Uehara using earth ninjutsu. A trace of anxiety flashed across his face!
This collapsing arena would directly crush Kumogakure’s central mountain peak. Even Ai was powerless to do anything about it. They could only shout loudly for their surviving subordinates to immediately avoid and withdraw from this collapsing arena.
Uehara stood at the foot of the mountain, listening to the rumbling sounds. He looked at his system panel, which had a series of completed missions.
[Side Mission: Watch an impromptu performance of Killer Bee.]
[Mission completed.]
[Reward: 150 gold coins.]
This kind of mission was relatively common and easy to complete.
Uehara touched his chin. He was a little curious about the other mission that made Ai sing. It seemed that the reward would not be low, right?
[Side Mission: Defeat Hachibi Jinchuriki, Killer Bee.]
[Mission completed.]
[Reward: Passive innate skill – Sword Mastery.]
[Sword Mastery: Can completely copy any sword technique you see.]
“…”
Uehara could not help but scratch his head.
Why would there be such a reward after defeating Killer Bee?
Sword Mastery was a passive innate skill. It was obviously different from ordinary passive skills, and the description was also very simple.
If a passive skill were added in front of it, the reward would definitely be extraordinary, and the explanation of Sword Mastery was no exception.
Can any sword technique be copied…
Uehara silently looked at the next reward.
[Side Mission: Defeat Fourth Raikage Ai(1/1)]
[Mission completed.]
[Reward: Passive skill – Highlander Bloodline. ]
[Highlander Bloodline: Moves with unparalleled agility, temporarily increasing Move Speed and Attack Speed as well as immunity to all slowing effects.]
It was really simple and crude!
It didn’t matter if he increased his movement speed or attack speed. His speed because his life energy was already astonishing. The immunity to deceleration means moving at super high speed in any area.
Whether it was on the surface of the water, on the surface of the ice, or even in the swamp.
Uehara looked at his last reward, which was also the only reward he needed.
[Side Mission: Successfully destroy Kumogakure.]
[Mission completed.]
[Reward: Passive innate skill – Lightning Power. ]
[Lightning Power (Passive): Able to freely control Lightning attribute Chakra and use Lightning Released Ninjutsu at will. This is one of the components of Truth-Seeking Ball. ]
[Storm Release(Passive): Able to freely control Storm Attribute Chakra formed by Lightning and Water Power, and use Storm Release Ninjutsu at will. ]
Other than these,
Dark Harvest had also increased his three-dimensional attributes by more than 40,000, which didn’t have much of an impact on him. It only increased his total attributes to about 400,000.
This value… was certainly tyrannical compared to ordinary ninjas.
However, according to Uehara’s own estimation, if Naruto removed Kyuubi in the equation, Naruto’s own chakra was around 300,000. The value of half of Kyuubi in his body would definitely be above 300,000.
This ninja world was really ridiculous.
It can’t be ridiculous once these people can liberate their full strength.
“Wind Power, Water Power, Earth Power, and Lightning Power have been obtained.”
Uehara slowly raised his finger, slowly descending his will on Fourth Hokage, and softly said, “How is Konoha now?”
Outside Konohagakure.
After hearing Uehara’s voice, Kabuto immediately said, “Naraku-sama? Konoha Ninjas have found Nagato-sama’s position!”
Kabuto’s voice sounded a bit nervous, and he continued to answer in a low voice, “Naraku-sama; Jiraiya-sama, Naruto, and Guy are very strong. Nagato-sama’s operation this time is very likely to fail…”
Kabuto’s voice gradually trembled. He whispered, “Just now… three Pain were all destroyed by Jiraiya-sama and the others at the same time!”
“This is also very normal.”
Uehara’s fingers gradually tightened as he said in a low voice, “Other than Shurado and Tendo Pain, the other Pain’s combat strength is actually not very strong… You guys wait for me there. I will rush over there right now!”
“Yes, Naraku-sama.”
Kabuto was a little nervous about this pre-war report.
It was obvious that he had seen something that shocked him.
However, this battle between Konoha and the leader of Akatsuki was indeed shocking. The power that everyone unleashed was unique, especially the three major powers.
“Stand United!”
Uehara closed his palm at the foot of Kumogakure’s mountain. A ring gradually appeared under his feet, and light gradually enveloped his body.
The next moment, Uehara suddenly appeared beside Kabuto.
