Chapter 574: The Ice Age that Freezes Everything
Although the Jinchūriki who had completely transformed into the appearance of the tailed beast had a strong presence, Han and Jiraiya had already left the main battlefield, so they did not cause any actual impact.
Both the Iwagakure ninja and the Konoha ninja fought as they should.
Mu Yue wanted to pursue the victory, but many Iwagakure ninjas saw that Lao Zi was injured and quickly attacked Mu Yue to prevent Mu Yue from continuing to hurt Lao Zi.
Most Iwagakure ninjas did not like Lao Zi, who was both a Jinchūriki and had a bad temper.
But this was on the battlefield, and they were at a disadvantage because of Konoha's conspiracy. They needed Lao Zi's strength.
When the Iwagakure ninja team was formed, because there were two Jinchūriki in charge, Ohnoki did not arrange other top masters from the Iwagakure Village.
If Lao Zi was directly killed by Mu Yue's combination punches, the Iwagakure ninja team would be in trouble.
"Earth escape· Rock Cannon Technique!"
"Earth escape· Rock Pillar Spear!"
All kinds of earth escapes were thrown at Mu Yue.
Whoosh! !
Mu Yue calmly took out three Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja bag and threw two of them out.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"
An Iwagakure ninja quickly pulled up an earth wall to block the kunai, preventing it from getting close to the attack range of the Earth Style Ninjutsu.
Whoosh!
Mu Yue activated the Flying Thunder God technique and disappeared from the spot, appearing next to several Iwagakure ninjas.
He and Minato were fully prepared, and many points had Flying Thunder God techniques they left in advance. The purpose of the two thrown kunai was actually to attract attention.
Swish!
Blood splashed, and Mu Yue's kunai accurately cut the necks of the Iwagakure ninjas, taking the lives of several Iwagakure ninjas.
Other Iwagakure ninjas who saw this scene frowned and cursed Flying Thunder God as a disgusting ninjutsu in their hearts.
It was annoying enough to be able to teleport with the thrown kunai, and now they had entered the enemy's carefully prepared trap, and they didn't even know where the other party would teleport.
"Ahem."
Old Zi coughed twice, condensed his chakra and stood on the small lake.
"Hoo-hoo."
Old Zi panted heavily, trying to adjust his body with the help of the tailed beast chakra. He was in a bad condition now.
Although only four dragons hit him in Mu Yue's Ten Dragon Bite Explosion, it also caused Lao Zi considerable damage.
His lava armor that was enough to resist Namikaze Minato's Rasengan failed to work against the water dragons with attribute restraint. Except for the first water dragon, which was slightly blocked, the next three water dragons hit his body firmly.
If it weren't for the timely activation of the tailed beast chakra to offset some of the power, I'm afraid his current state would be even worse.
"Hanyu Mu Yue!" Old Zi stared at Mu Yue's flashing figure in the crowd with a serious face.
After hard training to master the ability of complete tailed beast transformation, it was the first time that he suffered so much from a person.
If there were no other Iwagakure ninjas around to help him, I'm afraid he would have been defeated by Mu Yue.
"Use the full tailed beast transformation, let Hanyu Muyue think you are going to fight to the death, and then I will lead the team to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with him!" Yanku said quietly when he came to Lao Zi's side.
Yanku wanted to retreat, but he could not retreat in this situation.
They had to kill some core characters among the Konoha ninjas, Jiraiya or Hanyu Muyue.
Even Namikaze Minato was not allowed, because Namikaze Minato was in a lower position on the current battlefield.
"Full tailed beast transformation here?" Lao Zi frowned.
They were in the center of the Iwagakure ninja force, and Lao Zi was concerned about this, so he only used the Lava Release Chakra mode.
"Most ninjas had time to retreat to a safe distance. As for the small number of ninjas who were accidentally injured, this was a necessary sacrifice for success." Yanku replied quickly.
This was the best way he could think of.
Even if Lao Zi led Muyue to the Five-Tails, it would be useless, because Jiraiya was also difficult to deal with. The injured Lao Zi and Han might not be able to beat Muyue and Jiraiya.
But it's different here. With the four tails that have completely transformed into tailed beasts, plus the five jonins of the Iwagakure blasting corps led by him, and a large number of Iwagakure ninjas around, it is not impossible to kill Mu Yue.
Lao Zi showed a hint of hesitation.
Even though his status as a Jinchūriki made him suffer a lot of criticism and discrimination, he subconsciously disagreed with Iwaku's words.
"If you don't kill Hanyu Mu Yue to create an opportunity to break out, more people will die in the end." Iwaku continued to strike while the iron was hot.
If Lao Zi agreed, he wouldn't have to worry about no one to share the blame.
After all, Ohnoki had always been at odds with Lao Zi because of Lao Zi's stubbornness. When he reported, he would say something like Lao Zi disregarding the lives of fellow ninjas in the same village and performing a complete tailed beast transformation, and the blame for the defeat would be a little smaller.
"You'd better really kill Hanyu Mu Yue." Lao Zi sighed and closed his eyes slightly.
Iwaku was delighted and said with a serious expression: "Of course, I will do my best!"
Dark red chakra continued to flow out of Lao Zi's body, covering Lao Zi's entire body.
With a violent aura rising, another huge beast appeared on the battlefield, and it was in the center of the battlefield.
"In order to deal with Mu Yue, he actually used the full tailed beast transformation in this position." Namikaze Minato looked at the red-haired giant ape with some surprise.
From where Lao Zi is currently, if he punches Mu Yue, it is unknown whether Mu Yue will die, and several Iwagakure will probably die.
"Are you targeting me?"
Mu Yue's 360-degree white eyes noticed something. After Lao Zi transformed, several ninjas with strong chakra were approaching him.
Although Byakugan had already seen through the opponent's chakra, Mu Yue still used a few identification techniques just to be on the safe side.
[Name: Iwaku]
[Chakra: 71000]
[Skills: Explosive Escape (Mastery Level: 3100/15000), Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Change (Mastery Level: 3500), Explosive Escape·Meteor Explosion (Mastery Level), Explosive Escape·Exploding Flying Rocks (Mastery Level)… 】
[Name: Shashi]
【Chakra: 41000】
[Skills: Explosive Escape (Mastery Level), Earth Chakra Nature Change (Mastery Level), Explosive Escape·Detonating Stone (Mastery Level)...]
[Name: Turk]
[Chakra: 35000]
[Skills: Explosive Escape (Mastery Level), Earth Chakra Nature Change (Mastery Level), Earth Escape and Hardening Technique (Mastery Level)...]
"It's the Iwagakure Demolition Force."
Seeing the six identified panels all explode, Mu Yue instantly knew that the six people who quietly approached were the Iwagakure Demolition Team, the strongest elite unit in Iwagakure.
But Mu Yue didn't panic.
Now that he has discovered the other party's plan, the danger has been increased. Coupled with the Flying Thunder God Technique that can escape at any time and the armor color that can perfectly protect the body, there is no need to worry.
Seeing Lao Zi transform into a huge ape, the Iwagakure ninja quickly retreated, fearing that he would be accidentally injured.
Mu Yue followed up at a faster speed, while slashing Iwagakure while moving towards the place where there were more Iwagakure ninjas, trying to let Lao Zi accidentally injure some Iwagakure ninjas.
Lao Zi, who was determined in his heart, did not give up the attack because of Mu Yue's actions. He jumped up suddenly and hit Mu Yue with his huge fist.
In the fully tailed beast state, he has great power just by using chakra to strengthen his body and perform physical attacks.
boom! !
A big hole was made on the ground by Lao Zi, and there were two unlucky Iwagakure bodies in the hole.
As for Mu Yue, who was targeted by Lao Zi, she used the teleportation technique at the last moment to distance herself and rushed towards the small lake he created. Most of the explosive escape ninjas were in that direction.
"Sure enough, a genius like him is not afraid of an injured Jinchuuriki at all." Upon seeing this, Iwaku couldn't help but flash a smile on his face.
Normally speaking, given the current chaos on the battlefield, it would be unreasonable to choose a ninja who can fly thunder as the target.
Because Mu Yue could fly away as the God of Thunder at any time, and they couldn't stop her at all.
But Yanku predicted what Mu Yue was thinking, and he didn't think Mu Yue would be afraid and leave just because Lao Zi had completely transformed into a tailed beast.
On the contrary, he felt that Mu Yue would use this opportunity to completely defeat Lao Zi.
Mu Yue is not only a young super genius, but has also personally killed a Jinchuuriki on the battlefield. Iwaku believes that Mu Yue like this will have his own pride in his heart and will not retreat easily.
"Explosive Escape·Exploding Flying Rocks!"
Yanku seized the opportunity and quickly created several rocks that were far more powerful than the detonating talisman and shot them towards Mu Yue.
Before taking action, Iwaku had already given orders to the other members of the blasting team. The moment Iwaku took action, the other five blasting ninjas also used their best blasting ninjutsu.
"Explosive Escape·Detonating Stone!"
"Explosion Escape·Explosion Technique!"
Various ninjutsu that can cause explosions fly towards Mu Yue.
Seeing that Mu Yue was about to be overwhelmed by the explosion, Yanku didn't relax at all. Mu Yue only needed to use the Flying Thunder God technique to easily escape the crisis.
Iwaku quickly condensed his chakra, preparing to use his most powerful Explosion Ninjutsu, Meteor Explosion.
He judged that Mu Yue would not use Flying Thunder God to go too far and would teleport nearby to counterattack.
As long as Mu Yue appears, no matter who is next to Mu Yue, no matter how many Iwagakure ninjas are next to Mu Yue, Iwaku will immediately activate his ninjutsu.
If he could kill Mu Yue with his own hands, then he would not be defeated in an ordinary battle, but would be honored even though he was defeated.
However, to Iwaku's surprise, Mu Yue did not use Flying Thunder God to dodge, but activated the ninjutsu.
"Ice Escape·Ice Age!"
A large amount of chakra condensed in Mu Yue's body exploded at this moment, and the terrifying ice-blue cold air spread with Mu Yue as the center.
Kaka! !
boom!
The original small lake turned into an ice field in the blink of an eye, and the rocks containing explosive power turned into ice cubes and fell to the ground, triggering bursts of explosions.
The cold air spread extremely quickly, and Yan Ku didn't expect Mu Yue to use Ice Escape instead of Flying Thunder God. In Yan Ku's shocked expression, the cold air quickly eroded his body and froze him into a big block of ice.
The remaining explosive ninjas who were not far away from Mu Yue were not as strong as Yan Ku, so they naturally did not escape the fate of being frozen.
Lao Zi originally wanted to take the opportunity to punch Mu Yuelai, but before his fist could be punched out, the cold air had already touched his body.
The biting cold made Lao Zi subconsciously shrink his pupils, and before he could make another move, he turned into a huge ice sculpture.
Under Mu Yue's generous use of chakra, the S-class Ice Age exerted terrifying power.
In addition to the explosive escape ninjas and Lao Zi who were closer to Mu Yue, there were also some Iwagakure ninjas nearby who also failed to escape the erosion of the cold air and turned into ice cubes one after another.
The Iwagakure ninjas who were not hit looked at the huge ice sculpture dozens of meters high with horrified expressions and quickly retreated.
Even the Konoha ninjas who came nearby didn't care about anything else and quickly retreated.
For a moment, a piece of ice-blue silence appeared on the battlefield.
"As expected of Teacher Mu Yue!" Seeing Mu Yue so easily resolve the crisis and make a strong counterattack, Obito exclaimed.
Just now, their disciples worked together to kill many Iwagakure ninjas, and brought a team of Konoha ninjas to help Mu Yue relieve the pressure. As a result, before they could support him, Mu Yue solved the problem by himself.
"It seems that it shouldn't be this time." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point in the war, their plan to lure and kill the Iwagakure troops has been successful for the most part.
Mu Yue and the Konoha ninja troops are in good condition. No matter what, they will not end up with Mu Yue's death.
Next, they only need to weaken the living force of the Iwagakure ninjas as much as possible. This will be the biggest victory since the Konoha War.
"Next, pay more attention to the surroundings." Shisui's Sharingan quickly swept around.
There is no problem with Mu Yue, so they have to protect themselves well and not become a burden to Mu Yue.
"He actually practiced ice escape so well without making any noise." Jiraiya, who was playing a game with the Five-Tails, was a little surprised.
Jiraiya, who was fighting with the Jinchuriki, should not care about other things, but the frozen Four-Tails was too big and too eye-catching.
At this time, the sun was slowly rising, and the light of dawn hit the ice and reflected various colors of light. In addition, the hair of the Four-Tails was originally conspicuous red, which was really dazzling.
"If it was him, he might be able to surpass Sarutobi's ninjutsu teaching." Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh now.
Mu Yue had already shown water escape and fire escape far beyond ordinary people, and now even the blood limit ice escape has been practiced so skillfully.
You know, Mu Yue is only 21 years old now, and he still has a lot of time to practice and study ninjutsu, and his future is simply immeasurable.
Han also noticed the situation on the main battlefield. He was calm and composed, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, and his attack became impatient.
However, Jiraiya in Sage Mode is not a soft persimmon. His impatience did not allow Han to gain victory, but Jiraiya caught his flaw.
Not only was he injured, but all the Iwagakure jonins who were responsible for protecting him were killed by Jiraiya and the two great sages.
"After dealing with these annoying interferers, the next battle will be much easier." Jiraiya exhaled.
A Jinchūriki who can fully transform into a tailed beast is an existence that no strong person will underestimate.
If there is a special jonin team to assist, the danger will increase greatly.
However, for a strong person like Jiraiya who has mastered many means, it is not easy to deal with a single Jinchūriki, but the chances of winning are very high.
The frozen Four-Tails and the frozen Iwagakure ninja boosted the morale of the Konoha ninjas, but for the Iwagakure ninjas, it was uncomfortable.
The powerful combat power of the troops was defeated one by one and failed to gain an advantage. In this way, let alone defeating Konoha, it would be difficult to break through.
PS: This is 2k, and there will be another chapter later, which may be around twelve o'clock, and no later than one o'clock.
Because Xiaoju successfully went to bed early yesterday, he wants to keep it up and stick to it for a week, maybe his normal routine will return to normal.
