"Genjutsu..."
"It's over!"
Sensing the chakra on Ayase, the wife, about to condense into a single point, even if he used genjutsu to make Ayase lose control of her body, the sealing technique wouldn't stop. Kenshi knew he had no chance.
It was just that in the end, he would die at the hands of Ayase, the wife.
Really... Kenshi shook his head, feeling a bit self-deprecating.
But that was all. In the face of life and death, Kenshi didn't show a hint of fear, not even regret.
He had long since lost any great feeling about death.
It was just that he hadn't been able to properly retaliate against the Third Hokage that made him a little annoyed.
But it was only annoyance.
Kenshi discovered that when he truly faced death, his heart was surprisingly calm. It wasn't at all like what a person full of vengeance should be like.
Clang, clang...! Just as Kenshi was welcoming death with a whirlwind of thoughts in his mind, two Adamantine Binding Chains suddenly shot out from behind Ayase, the wife, binding her waist and pulling her back forcefully.
"I will never let Kenshi-sama die."
At the critical moment, Uzumaki Guimo, who had been keeping an eye on Kenshi, used the Adamantine Binding Chains, burning her life force, to forcibly pull Ayase, the wife, away from Kenshi.
"No!!!"
A shrill roar erupted from Ayase's consciousness. She sensed that Kenshi was no longer within the range of her sealing technique. Unprecedented anger erupted in her heart. She wanted to control her body and run towards Kenshi.
But she was still deprived of her five senses by the genjutsu chakra. She couldn't do anything.
And it was all too late. The Inner Four Symbols Seal would only seal everything within a fifty-meter radius centered on her.
Buzz... The black ink that had been splashed instantly transformed into a spherical space with a radius of fifty meters. Then, the ink sphere space violently compressed towards Ayase, the wife, in the center.
Pop!
Finally, a smooth, circular pit with a diameter of one hundred meters appeared on the ground.
Ayase, the wife, and Uzumaki Guimo both disappeared.
Kenshi, who had regained control of his body, looked down at the smooth pit at his feet. A look of fear mixed with surprise and self-deprecation flashed in his eyes.
Heh!
Kenshi shook his head and chuckled. He hadn't expected... that it was Guimo, whom he had already given up on, who saved him.
Fate really loves to play tricks on people.
"Ayase-senpai..."
Inside Kenshi's body, Katō Dan, sensing that Ayase-senpai's soul had disappeared, could only sigh slightly before his soul dissipated and died.
"So, this is the Spirit Transformation Technique!"
"I see!"
A flash of light suddenly appeared in Kenshi's eyes. He now understood why his shadow clones could be seen through.
Now that Katō Dan was gone, no one could see through his shadow clones anymore.
"Shadow Clone... Grass!!!"
Just as Kenshi thought about creating a shadow clone, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki suddenly attacked from a kilometer away.
And he used a Dust Release ultimate move that enveloped the Kazekage, Raikage, and Mizukage.
"Dust Release - Limit Separation Technique!"
A shining white cube was pushed out from Ōnoki's hands. In an instant, it flew out and expanded into a giant cubic space with sides of two kilometers, enveloping Kenshi in the middle.
"Ōnoki!"
"Ōnoki!"
The Third Raikage and the Third Mizukage were both roaring. They were both desperately trying to escape.
Fortunately, they had sensed Ōnoki's intentions and were on guard. They hadn't gotten too close to Kenshi, so they still had a slight chance of escaping the Dust Release attack.
The Mizukage transformed into dark water and quickly escaped underground.
The Raikage flapped his wings and quickly flew away.
Both of them had their own methods and still had a chance to escape.
Kenshi and the Third Kazekage, who were in the center of the cube, had nowhere to escape.
The Third Kazekage's face instantly turned pale. He regretted it. If he had known that the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki possessed such a large-scale Dust Release attack, he would have never participated in the ambush of Kenshi, or at least he wouldn't have gotten so close to him.
"Damn Ōnoki!!!"
The Third Kazekage could only roar angrily in his heart while controlling all the iron sand to envelop himself and seal himself up, hoping to withstand Ōnoki's Dust Release.
Kenshi was shocked. With Katō Dan dead, no one could see through his shadow clones anymore. He would be able to get out of this crisis soon.
He hadn't expected that Ōnoki would be so decisive. He didn't give him a chance. He went big, and Kenshi had nowhere to hide.
"Grass!"
Kenshi could only try his best to control Earth Release chakra to clear a path, sinking as deep as possible into the ground, using the earth to block the Dust Release attack.
Pop!
The Dust Release attack was like the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique. There was no earth-shattering explosion, no earth-shaking tremor. There was only a crisp sound like a snap of the fingers.
Then, everything vanished without a trace.
On the ground, the countless trees released by Kenshi's Wood Release, Tree World Descent, disappeared. Only a black square pit appeared on the ground.
Kenshi and the Third Kazekage both vanished without a trace.
The Third Mizukage and the Third Raikage, thanks to their advantageous positions, escaped unharmed, but they each paid the price of a leg and an arm.
"What a pity!"
In the air, Ōnoki looked at the edge of the square pit. The Third Raikage had only lost an arm, and he was still alive. He shook his head and immediately turned to fly towards the corner of the barrier where the Iwagakure ninjas were responsible.
He was also unable to fight anymore. He had to get out of the barrier and go back.
"Ōnoki!!!"
The Third Raikage and the Third Mizukage watched Ōnoki fly away. Although they were very angry and wanted to kill him immediately, they were afraid of the power of Dust Release. They also knew that they couldn't stay here for long. They both quickly left.
All three of them left. No one looked at the pit.
They didn't believe that Kenshi and the Third Kazekage could survive such a Dust Release attack.
Thus, the first time the Five Kage teamed up to ambush Kenshi ended.
In this battle.
On the Konoha side, Ayase, the wife, Sarutobi Tsukishi, and Katō Dan died. It was a huge loss.
The Third Raikage of Kumogakure lost an arm.
The Third Mizukage of Kirigakure lost a leg.
Sunagakure was the most unlucky. The Third Kazekage, known as the strongest Kazekage in history, died without a trace.
However, he wasn't killed by Sasori of the Red Sand and turned into a human puppet like in the original work. The Third Kazekage could be considered to have died honorably.
Iwagakure was the big winner in this battle. No one was lost.
But they also angered the Mizukage, Raikage, and Kazekage. It was foreseeable that Iwagakure's days on the battlefield wouldn't be easy.
The following year.
When Sunagakure learned that the Third Kazekage had died at the hands of Ōnoki, they went crazy. They didn't even care about Konoha anymore. They went all out to attack Iwagakure.
Kumogakure was similar. They mobilized most of their forces to attack Iwagakure.
Kirigakure withdrew many people at this time and took the initiative to help Konoha. The pressure on Sunagakure and Kumogakure was reduced, allowing the three countries to have the strength to attack Iwagakure.
For a while, Iwagakure suffered heavy losses. The war even spread to their country, but it was also deadlocked within their country.
After all, they were one of the Five Great Nations. They weren't so easy to break.
The Five Great Nations couldn't trust each other completely. They didn't dare to mobilize too many forces to use in the Land of Earth.
During this time, there was no news of Kenshi in the ninja world. The Daimyō of the Five Great Nations could finally rest assured. They didn't have to worry about Kenshi suddenly possessing the body of their family heir and reincarnating.
The Five Hidden Villages could also rest assured. They didn't have to worry about Kenshi's terrifying revenge.
