--------------------------------------------------------------
As if sensing something, Ōnoki lightly exclaimed and then looked interestedly towards Iwagakure ANBU. His deep black eyes seemed to penetrate them.
On the battlefield, within the Barrier of Earthen Wall Light Barrier, several sturdy Rock ninjas appeared slightly flushed, as if enduring something strenuous.
At that moment,
"Crackle..."
With a sound, a group of ninjas was busy at the edge of the barrier. They were forming hand signs, one hand pushing against the other arm, the other hand gently touching the barrier.
Streams of dark green seals spread from their hands onto the barrier, making a "crackle" sound wherever they passed, like a piece of butter on a red-hot iron.
Suddenly!
"Boom!"
A loud sound echoed across the battlefield.
The barrier shattered!
Hearing this sound, the Leaf ninjas' faces lit up with excitement, their eyes gleaming coldly as they stared into the barrier.
Despite being obscured by dust and smoke, the Leaf ninjas did not hesitate to form hand signs.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...
Numerous dazzling ninjutsu, like shooting stars, targeted the inside of the barrier at this moment.
However, at that moment,
A terrifying sound suddenly came from deep underground!
"Boom—"
Unlike ordinary sounds, this sound traveled from deep underground to the surface, oppressively dull to the extreme.
"Crack—"
Following the second sound, the entire ground of the Hidden Leaf Village began to shake violently!
It was as if an earthquake had arrived!
Even Hiruzen, confronting the Third Tsuchikage, could not focus solely on the fight, his thoughts inevitably drifting to Iwagakure ANBU.
Feeling the intense shaking and trembling underfoot, he frowned slightly.
His gaze briefly shifted there, pondering how to extricate himself from this situation.
Seeing this, Ōnoki watched him and spoke lightly, with a smirk,
"Third Hokage, are you planning to rush over there?"
Hearing his words, Hiruzen remained calm, his gaze steady and silent.
He immediately pulled out a large scroll from behind, unfolded it, and slapped it onto the ground!
"Summoning Jutsu: Monkey King Enma!"
"Boom!"
As a dense cloud of smoke suddenly rose,
A majestic figure loomed within the smoke, looking very imposing!
When the smoke cleared, a terrifying and robust monkey appeared on the battlefield, its fangs bared, holding a golden staff, looking very fierce.
However, Enma's voice wasn't as fierce as his appearance suggested; it was relatively gentle.
Frowning slightly, sensing the terrible vibration within the Hidden Leaf Village, he quickly asked,
"Hey, Hiruzen, what's happening to the Leaf Village?"
After speaking, he directed his gaze towards Ōnoki floating in mid-air, his voice slightly cold,
"And who is this guy we're facing? A ninja who can fly?"
Hiruzen, looking more serious, said,
"We don't have time to explain, Enma. You must immediately head towards the remains of the barrier and collaborate with the Leaf to eliminate Iwagakure ANBU!"
"I'll hold this guy off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, though Enma didn't fully understand, he knew the situation was urgent, nodded, and immediately headed towards that direction.
Seeing Enma leave, Ōnoki was naturally very angry. He quickly formed hand signs and shouted,
"Stay here, beast!"
As his voice fell, a blazing white cube suddenly formed in his palms, then he aimed it at Enma's path.
"Whoosh!"
A dazzling white beam of light suddenly shot from the blazing white cube towards Enma!
However, at that moment, a shadow also completed its seal.
"Five Styles: Great Colliding Wave!"
A dragon made of chakra, entwined with lightning, fire, and wind, carrying a terrifying momentum, collided with the white beam of light.
"Hum—"
As if nothing had happened, the space where the two forces collided kept distorting and churning, quite frightening!
Hiruzen, lowering his hands slowly, looked solemnly at Ōnoki and said,
"Third Tsuchikage, your opponent is me."
Seeing this, Ōnoki frowned, glancing at Enma who was gradually getting away, he scoffed.
"Hmph, then let's continue. However, I believe it won't be long before the Leaf Village is leveled."
Hearing Ōnoki's words, Hiruzen's gaze turned slightly heavy, but he remained silent.
Meanwhile,
The entire Hidden Leaf Village was still shaking violently.
At the barrier's location,
Everyone looked towards the almost fully dissipated earthen yellow barrier inside.
As the smoke gradually cleared, the sight inside surprised the Leaf ninjas. Through the thinning smoke, they could see a thick earthen yellow spherical shield standing there.
"Crackle—"
As if sensing the cessation of the ninjutsu attacks, the thick yellow soil wall suddenly collapsed, revealing the scene inside.
Inside, groups of sturdy Rock ninjas were seen huddling together in threes.
Behind them, about six or seven ninjas were sitting on the ground with their eyes closed, palms together, seemingly engaged in something.
The Rock ninjas facing the numerous Leaf ninjas did not show fear on their faces but instead looked slightly smug.
At that moment!
"Wind Style: Sharp Horn Gust!"
A figure with purple hair and a slender figure stepped forward, coldly shouting.
Then, a hurricane mixed with many fierce winds rushed towards the Rock ninjas.
"Whoosh—"
The fierce wind was powerful, and facing this attack, the Rock ninjas closely huddled together took a step forward and formed hand seals.
"Earth Style: Combined Earth Wall!"
A massive earth wall surprisingly blocked the hurricane, constantly being destroyed and eroded but rapidly growing and replenishing its interior with rock and soil.
Seeing this, the purple-haired figure slightly frowned.
Meanwhile,
Ōnoki, standing on the still occasionally shaking ground of the Hidden Leaf Village, looked at the members of the Iwagakure ANBU with a hint of a smile in his eyes and a slight curl of his lips, softly saying,
"It seems I have to intervene to deal with you. Otherwise, if you succeed, it would greatly affect my plans."
After speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression utterly cold as he indifferently said,
"The so-called variables, to me, are the most intolerable existence."
