Chapter 143: Side by Side! (Edited)

In the sky, Sakumo did not have the ability to stay in the air, so he quickly fell towards the ground.

In the distance, Shoudu was severely injured by Sakumo and was being treated by a ninja doctor.

Captain Anbu was unable to stop Sakumo, as he was stopped by Tsunade, who had just entered the battlefield.

Tsunade, with the Instant Jutsu (Soru) imparted to her by Naito, was not strong enough to defeat a Kage level ninja, but she was strong enough to hold him back, AND even Kage level ninja could be hurt if they underestimated her!

Sakumo, after landing on the ground, focused on Onoki as she approached Naito and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing," Naito shook his head and retracted his fist, then, he stretched his body, both his muscles and bones suddenly screamed in pain.

The last blow with the shock power he used was beyond what his body could withstand, however, Naito's resilience was very strong and he healed quickly.

It must be said that Naito's practice of the second stage of Lightning Element Chakra Mode was the right thing to do, although it was only practiced for a short period of time, even so, it brought great improvements to both his body and his Kekkei Genkai.

Otherwise, Naito would never be able to block Onoki's attack.

Once the crisis was over, Naito and Sakumo stood side by side, looking up to the sky, both with expressionless faces.

This is a state of high concentration, there were almost no distractions in this kind of state, it was a state where one was prepared for battle at any moment, only the elites of the elites could enter this state.

It must be said that Naito's talent for fighting had been honed through countless battles.

If Sakumo had observed Naito, he would have been amazed, as Naito was in a state identical to his own.

"White Fang and Ashura of Konoha...", Onoki said as he hovered in the air, looking at the two of them with a very cold stare.

He had never expected Naito to be able to block his Kekkei Tota Jinton, and he hadn't expected Sakumo to interrupt him when he was about to unleash a full-powered attack!

In contrast to Onoki's dilemma, both Sakumo and Naito were pondering the same question.

Why had the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki, appeared on the battlefield?

This was the question that both Sakumo and Naito had on their minds, as they knew that normally, the Kages of the Great Ninja Villages do not normally leave their villages.

Since if they left their villages, they would be left unprotected, if Kumogakure took the opportunity to attack Iwagakure, wouldn't that be the end of Iwagakure?

Even if the village was not destroyed, it would still suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, the Kages of a ninja village, unless the enemy Kages would act, then they would not move, however, there are cases where, when a Kage leaves the village, the village is protected by its strong ninjas, such as a leader of the Anbu department, or an advisor to the Hokage.

But at this moment, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, the Anbu Captain of the Anbu department and the Third Tsuchikage's advisor, Shoudu, are all on the battlefield.

Onoki doesn't care about his village anymore?!

Both Naito and Sakumo had questions in their minds, but at this moment, they both kept them to themselves and didn't think about it.

They were both in a state of absolute concentration, in a battle against someone like the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, who possessed the extremely dangerous Kekkei Tota Jinton, they could not afford to divert their attention to other matters.

However, they were not intimidated in the least.

This was a war!

"Tsuchikage-Sama!"

"Tsuchikage-Sama!!!"

Most of the Iwagakure ninja, who apparently did not know that their Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was going to participate in the war, woke up from their shock brought on by Naito's blocking of Onoki's attack and exclaimed loudly with excited expressions.

The Tsuchikage had arrived on the battlefield!

Although Onoki's attack with his Kekkei Tota Jinton did not hurt anyone, still, it caused the morale of the Iwagakure army, which had almost collapsed, to match the morale of the Konoha army.

This was the effect of a Kage of a Great Ninja Village, his presence on the battlefield boosted morale no less, if not more, than Konoha's White Fang and Konoha's Ashura.

On the other hand, the ninjas of Konoha were also surprised, they never thought that the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure would participate in the battle, but when their gazes were fixed on Naito, they remembered the scene where Naito blocked the pillar of light with his fist and how Sakumo forced Onoki back with a single attack, they somehow felt confident.

So what if the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure was here?!

On their side, they had the Woolly Fang of Konoha and the Ashura of Konoha!

Onoki looked at Naito and Sakumo, with a grim expression, from which no one could guess his thoughts, and finally, the next moment, he waved a hand and gave an order, "Slaughter all the ninja of Konoha!"

"Yes!!!", the moment they heard Onoki's order, the morale of the Iwagakure army increased and they resumed the battle once again.

The Konoha ninjas gritted their teeth and, without the slightest hint of fear on their faces, also began to fight.

War broke out again!

However, even though the war started again, Sakumo, Naito and Onoki did not move, and the ninjas of the two sides avoided attacking them.

Or rather, no one dared to attack them.

The three of them clashed, and Naito seemed the weakest of the three, but the aura he had acquired in the last war was no less powerful than Sakumo's.

The combination of his aura and Sakumo's was even more powerful than Onoki's.

Onoki's gaze gradually became colder.

There was no problem with Sakumo, even though Sakumo was strong, he was about to reach his limits, but Naito, who was standing next to Sakumo.... He must be killed!

At such an age, with such a growth rate, if he was left to grow, his future strength would be terrifying!

Arriving at the battlefield, Onoki was sure that the Third Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, would rush to the battlefield, but it was impossible for him to arrive in time for this battle, So this was his best chance to eliminate Naito, a future threat!

At the thought of this, Onoki's murderous intent increased.

The next moment, he suddenly extended his hands and clasped them together, the moment he slightly separated his palms, a mini pillar of white light appeared.

Even from a distance, one could feel the terrifying chakra in the small pillar.

It was the Dust Release: Detachment of the Primal World: Pillar again!

Whoosh, whoosh!!!!

Faced with Onoki's Kekkei Tota Jinton, Naito and Sakumo did not hesitate and moved almost simultaneously.

One could say that Sakumo's speed was incredibly fast, after all, the goal of his Hatake Kenjutsu was to cut through everything quickly.

But Naito was even faster than Sakumo!

He may not be as fast as Sakumo when he runs with all his might, but when he uses Soru, Naito was even faster than Sakumo.

Naito and Sakumo left afterimages wherever they passed, and as they crossed the battlefield, wherever they passed, flashes of white lights were seen.

Wherever the two passed, the scene was almost identical, as the bodies of the Iwagakure ninja froze, then lines of blood appeared on their bodies, and finally they split in two.

"Damn!!!", Onoki was instantly irritated, it was hard for him to use his Kekkei Tota Jinton when Naito and Sakumo were moving around the battlefield.

The Dust Release: Detachment of the Primal World: Pillar was a powerful attack, and if thrown wildly, it could devastate the battlefield.

However, Onoki could not throw it wildly, as the ninja from Konoha and Iwagakure were all mixed up, and his Dust Release: Primal World Detachment: Pillar could not hit Naito and Sakumo accurately.

Of course, Naito and Sakumo's intentions were not to kill all the Iwagakure ninja, but they were simply killing Iwagakure ninja in their path.

If they killed all the Iwagakure ninja, once the number of Iwagakure ninja was greatly reduced, Onoki would use his Kekkei Tota Jinton to kill a large number of Konoha ninja, so they had to prevent that from happening.

So, they would just kill the ninja in their way.

Naito and Sakumo had the same idea, and that was to take Onoki away from the battlefield and confront him in a secluded place.
