132 Chapter 132

As Kyomu also charged into the sky with a blade hundreds of meters long, excitement gleamed in the eyes of the teammates below, assisting in the attack.

They took half the credit for Captain Kyomu's strike!

They still remembered the long debate over the naming rights of this technique back on the battlefield against the Sand Shinobi.

After many twists and turns, the name was finally decided.

"The First Blazing Blade!"

"This is the blade of our entire First Ninja Squad!"

"Captain, obliterate the Eight-Tails!"

"Yes, obliterate the Eight-Tails!"

Amidst the cheering of his teammates, Kyomu heavily slammed the 'First Blazing Blade' onto the head of the Eight-Tails.

Boom!

The massive body, like a small mountain, sank downwards, and the Eight-Tails, just freed from the mire, couldn't stop falling backward.

The might of a single blade temporarily stunned the Eight-Tails.

Opportunity!

With the Eight-Tails momentarily dazed and not far behind, Obito's Sharingan's two tomoe spun wildly, even though it was just a two-tomoe Sharingan, its enhanced genjutsu was not to be underestimated.

"No good, far from enough!" But after three seconds, Obito was shocked, "Just as Kyomu said, to control a Tailed Beast with the Sharingan, it must at least be at the Mangekyō level."

Standing on the shoulder of the Eight-Tails, Obito didn't want to give up, but the Eight-Tails, having been hit by Kyomu's move and then disturbed by Obito's genjutsu, was already regaining consciousness.

Roar!

An angry roar, and a tail of the Eight-Tails swung fiercely, aiming directly at Obito standing on its shoulder.

"Retreat!"

Kyomu hadn't expected Obito to be so daring, knowing it was futile yet still attempting.

As he shouted, the tail of the Eight-Tails was already nearing Obito.

Whoosh.

In a critical moment, a streak of blade light from afar arrived—it was Kakashi's rapidly extending blade.

Sharply lifting Obito, he instantly dodged the Eight-Tails' attack, while Killer Bee, chasing right behind Kakashi, was about to strike.

"Idiot, fool, fighting me while distracted, you're about to die."

The unique rap tone rang out from behind, belonging to no one but Killer Bee.

"Do you think you're cool?" Genma also caught up, "We're not alone here, weirdo!"

Whoosh.

Spitting out the kunai he was biting, Genma quickly formed hand seals.

Thousand Needles Rain!

The thrown kunai divided into three, three into nine, and nine into a dense rain of needles, attacking like a swarm of bees, overwhelmingly pressing towards Killer Bee.

With a swift spin, the ninja swords hidden all over his body danced impenetrably, blocking all the kunai shot by Genma.

Meanwhile, Obito temporarily gave up on the Eight-Tails to launch an attack on Killer Bee.

This was a tactic previously discussed.

Fire Release Phoenix Flower Jutsu!

First using a C-rank Phoenix Fire technique, Obito then threw a series of shuriken, leveraging his speed to suddenly increase the shooting speed of many fireballs.

A very Uchiha-style maneuver.

In an instant, Killer Bee was caught in a pincer attack by Obito, Genma, Kakashi, and others.

On another part of the battlefield, Might Guy and the Third Raikage A's fight also reached its climax.

Punch to punch, that was the fighting style of both men.

At this moment, Might Guy was surrounded by a green energy aura, not sweat.

This state of the Eight Gates was still standard; beyond the seventh gate was a mix of energy and sweat.

And the son of the Third Raikage, A, was surrounded by Raiton Chakra Mode, wearing Raiton armor, his robust physique exerting supreme pressure.

"This kid with the bowl haircut can actually keep up with my speed!" A became more shocked as they fought, "Though it's a bit forced, what exactly is this state of his?

Regardless, this kid with the bowl haircut has excited me!"

Bang.

With a strong push from his feet, A charged forward once more, forcing Might Guy to defend without being able to counter effectively.

The Six Gates of the Eight Gates were still somewhat lacking compared to Raiton Chakra Mode.

Might Guy was immediately put into a tough fight, barely managing to defend with the help of his teammates, possibly facing defeat within five minutes.

And on the main battlefield, the battle between Kyomu's two ninja squads and the Eight-Tails also reached a fever pitch.

Crimson Moon Slash!

Streaks of crimson blade light surged forward, considered a powerful move three years ago, but now Kyomu could achieve this effect with a mere swing of his blade.

However, the massive body of the Eight-Tails , though the blade light was sharp and hot, causing significant trouble for the Eight-Tails.

But the Tailed Beast's recovery ability was extremely abnormal, and the wounds left by the blade light on its body would heal in the blink of an eye.

"Aoda!"

"I understand, Master Kyomu."

Acknowledging with a response, Aoda, slightly smaller than the Eight-Tails, quickly moved forward, dodging the octopus tentacles striking continuously, and tightly coiled around the Eight-Tails from below upwards.

The body tightened.

Aoda's massive head reached behind the Eight-Tails, opening its wide mouth to reveal sharp fangs on the upper jaw, biting fiercely at the neck of the Eight-Tails.

Now was the moment.

Kyomu once again soared into the sky, with his teammates once again coordinating with him.

Alone, one might run out of strength, but with 34 teammates backing Kyomu, he could unleash a fighting power equivalent to twice his current strength.

Having many people sometimes proved to be useful.

Wind Release Great Breakthrough!

34 teammates used Wind Release ninjutsu at the same time, still aiming at an angle of 45° upwards, and Kyomu's maneuver was the same as before. With a guide and lift of his hand, combined with the power born from the Three-Star Fan absorbed by Yoei, a slender blade of wind was formed in an instant.

Raising it above his head, Kyomu felt a surge of emotion.

"Getsuga Tenshou!"

Although it seemed a bit out of place, this was Kyomu's longstanding aspiration from his previous life, and this time, it was like fulfilling a dream.

The hundreds of meters long blade of wind shadow might not cover the sky and earth, but from three kilometers away, whether it was the Leaf or the Cloud camp, everyone could see it clearly.

This time, Kyomu made a significant impression.

However.

Exuding a dominant aura, seeking one's own demise!

"Kyomu cannot be allowed to continue growing so freely." Dodai immediately made a decision, "Darui, C, Samui, Atsui, follow me."

"Yes, Lord Dodai!"

Taking the Cloud Village's rising stars, Dodai quickly moved forward. Today's attack could fail, but Kyomu must die!

Now that Kyomu could hold off the fully transformed Eight-Tails for so long with his teammates' help, in a year, he could do it alone, and in three years, he could easily overpower any Tailed Beast except for the Nine-Tails.

Such a prodigious talent must not be allowed to grow freely!

"Fortunately, on the battlefield against the Sand, Kyomu's potential was exhausted. If he could still unleash that move that could slice through a Tailed Beast Bomb, relying solely on B wouldn't be enough."

Dodai felt somewhat relieved, thinking that Kyomu's frequent use of 'forbidden techniques' had damaged his potential, but the reality was far from it.

Kyomu was in excellent condition!

"Jiraiya-sama, Dodai is rapidly approaching the battlefield." Ren quickly reported to Jiraiya. 

"Seems like they can't sit still any longer." Jiraiya laughed heartily, "The more Dodai can't sit still, the more it proves how much of a threat Kyomu poses to them.

Since they want to kill our genius, we naturally cannot let them have their way!"

With a fierce swing of his hand forward.

"The rest of the First Ninja Corps' three ninja squads, follow me for support!"

Dashing out to the front line, Jiraiya led the team to meet Dodai and others.

But Dodai wasn't worried in his heart.

"Indeed, the Leaf is full of talents, but you're facing a two-front war. You, Jiraiya, may be able to stop me, but what will you do about the Third Raikage, sir?"

When Tsuchi's elite team clashed with Jiraiya's elite team, a disturbance emerged three kilometers away in the Cloud camp.

The Third Raikage himself came to the front line.

"War is inherently ruthless." The Third Raikage looked ahead emotionlessly, "Although I would love to have a fair and square battle with you, I do not wish to lose too many of our ninjas."

Raising his muscular and sturdy right arm, the Third Raikage shouted, "Break through the Leaf's defense line, wash away the past shame, today! My fellow shinobi, charge with me!"

With a fierce downward swing of his arm, the Third Raikage charged out, and with every two steps, a light blue thick armor covered his body.

Like a raging bull, leading a group of brutes, the dust raised during the charge was not only magnificent but also caused all Leaf ninjas' hearts to hang in suspense.

This time, it seemed impossible to hold back.

Jiraiya's face changed dramatically, "Third Raikage, you bully the weak!"

Knowing this statement was just adding ridicule, but unable to extricate himself at the moment, Jiraiya could only say so, being schemed against by the Cloud.

Indeed, it was a great calculation!

Not really, but rather Dodai's quick adaptability. Since B fully transformed into a Tailed Beast and held off Kyomu and others, Killer Bee and A distracted another group of elites.

And with Dodai himself holding off Jiraiya's elite ninjas, it was clear this was an excellent opportunity to attack.

The Cloud might give off a brute impression, but that's just their battle style, not their brains filled with muscles.

Otherwise, a group of brutes wouldn't make the village second only to the Hidden Leaf in strength.

Watching the Third Raikage charging forward and Dodai tightly holding him back, Jiraiya's thoughts raced.

Biting his lip, Jiraiya turned and retreated.

He temporarily gave up supporting Kyomu, choosing to support the Leaf's frontline troops instead. This was a difficult choice, but when one side has fewer people and the other more, many would instinctively decide.

To help the side with more people.

Summoning Technique·Gamabunta!

Summoning Technique·Gamakichi!

Summoning Technique·Gamaken!

The Three Great Toads of Mount Myōboku appeared amidst three large puffs of white smoke, their sizes, though shorter than the Eight-Tails, were still massive.

Especially since they appeared as a trio.

Gamabunta, with a smoking pipe, looked towards the not-so-far distance upon appearing, not to fight but to comment, "That annoying scent, it's from the Ryūchi Cave's reptiles."

"Eh, not from that snake guy." Gamaken added.

As Gamakichi was about to speak, Jiraiya urgently stopped him.

"Gentlemen, the situation is critical, I'm counting on you!"

Gamabunta, Gamakichi, Gamaken, the three brothers nodded, their hind legs powerfully leaping to a distant position, and blocked in front of the charging Third Raikage.

"Toad Sage Jiraiya, you've finally used all your strength!"

The Third Raikage's fighting spirit soared, with a strange smile on his face, "You've stopped me, but what will you do about that little demon Kyomu?"

"I believe in Kyomu." Jiraiya faced the Third Raikage, "You should be more worried about yourself right now!"

As his words fell, Jiraiya and the Third Raikage clashed, and the Three Great Toads of Mount Myōboku split up to act, stopping many charging Cloud ninjas.

With no one to hold him back, Dodai now coldly smirked, his gaze fixed on Kyomu.

Today, no one can save you!

Charging forward, he raised his right arm, aiming straight at Kyomu, who was in fierce combat with the fully transformed Eight-Tails.

Raiton: Lariat!

"Captain, watch out!" Seeing the situation turn dire, one of the teammates, without thinking, threw himself in front of Kyomu.

In fact, it wasn't just one teammate who noticed this; the rest, upon seeing the situation, instinctively formed a human wall.

Mainly because Dodai was too fast, and also clad in Raiton armor, it was too late to use Doton ninjutsu for defense. Even if they did, against Raiton, which counters Doton, any hastily erected defense would be as good as paper.

"Get out of my way!"

Kyomu immediately abandoned the plan to continue suppressing the fully transformed Eight-Tails with Aoda, kicking away the teammates blocking in front of him one by one.

Yoei in hand, he positioned it vertically to block Dodai's attack.

Yoei's ability to slice through any Chakra attack or defense had become no secret, and Dodai was well aware of it.

As his arm was about to touch Yoei, Dodai suddenly pulled back and changed his strike, aiming a punch at Kyomu's ribs.

If this hit landed, Kyomu would either die or be seriously injured.

Wrist flipping, Yoei positioned horizontally across the chest, the left hand also pressing against the tip of Yoei.

Bang.

Whoosh.

Kyomu was pushed back by the tremendous force, sliding on the ground without stopping, but before he could steady himself, a tentacle from behind suddenly emerged, striking fiercely towards Kyomu's back.

"Master Kyomu!"

Aoda abandoned the struggle with the Eight-Tails, shooting forward a distance in an attempt to shield Kyomu, narrowly blocking the hit.

Boom boom boom.

Aoda was sent flying, rolling on the ground several times before coming to a halt.

Kyomu's eyes blazed with fury, but he had no time to check on Aoda's condition.

"It seems I was born with a 'Aggro x100 Body', but everyone who surrounded me has been cut down by me!"

Drawing Yoei, Kyomu's aura surged, electric arcs brighter around him, his presence soaring, the air currents beneath him lifting him slowly into midair.

Raiton Eight Gates, The Gate of Awe, Open!

On another side.

"Youth is about constantly surpassing oneself." Might Guy looked up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the green energy surrounding his body slowly turning into a light blue mixed with sweat.

Eight Gates, The Gate of Awe, Open!

"With a shout!" Might Guy roared, facing his opponent, A, whose eyes narrowed, "Such a formidable presence... Are you ready to risk it all?

Well, I shall honor your courage!"

Following that, A also roared, "Bowl-hair kid, you've earned the right for me to remember your name!"
