Chapter 253 The Fall of the First Demigod
Chapter 253 The Fall of the First Demigod
The moment the summoning technique was unleashed, the enormous Seven-Tails, Chongming, broke through the dust and took to the air. Its six wings flapped and swept out, instantly sending swathes of Cloud Village ninja flying.
At this moment, the Seven-Tails finally revealed its true form, now five times larger than before. Flying in the sky, it resembled a dark cloud, obscuring the sun.
He lowered his head, his compound eyes gazing down at the sky: "Two-Tailed and Eight-Tailed, I didn't expect you to be here too. But all these years have passed, and you haven't improved at all. You are so insignificant in my presence!"
"Seven-Tails, stop playing around, Tailed Beast Ball!"
As the Purple Whirlpool spoke, the Seven-Tailed Fox opened its mouth and sprayed out a dense barrage of scale powder, blinding these people and turning them into headless flies.
Then, a purplish-black Tailed Beast Ball condensed in the palm of his claw, and with one shot, it shattered the Cloud Hidden Army's formation, sending earth and stones flying and screams filling the air.
Its wings flapped, creating a hurricane. The remnants of the Tang Ninja were forced to retreat by the wind pressure. The Whirlpool Purple Fly stood on the head of the Seven-Tailed Fox.
Her icy gaze swept over the routed Cloud Village army: "Don't you like to bully others with your power? How does it feel to be bullied?"
"Seven-Tails, one more, let's wipe them all out here."
On the other side, the Cloud Shadow army was devastated upon hearing this. An unexpected event had occurred: the Third Raikage was dead, and the morale of the Cloud Shadow army completely collapsed.
Fortunately, the A and B groups liked to wear sunglasses and carried them with them. He distributed the sunglasses he had hidden on his body to a few of the higher-ups, which prevented some of them from going blind.
"My father is dead. I've brought men to block this way. You can leave now."
"We are brothers, born together, and die together!" This is a rare occasion when he doesn't rap, but when he speaks seriously, he still has a slight accent.
Just then, an old figure slowly walked out from the chaos of the army.
He was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a faded two-tailed Jinchuriki battle suit, his back still straight.
With each step forward, a burst of blue flames would erupt from his body, and the drifting scales would be burned to ashes before they could even get close.
"The future belongs to you young people. I am old. Everyone else is stepping back. Let this old man cut off the road."
As he spoke, he had completely transformed into a tailed beast, tilted his head back and spat out a tailed beast ball, blocking the other tailed beast ball.
"We, the sons of Kumogakure, may die in battle, but we cannot be extinct!" The old man's voice was hoarse yet resolute. "Lord Raikage is gone; we, these old men, shall pave the way with our lives!"
With that, he roared, blocking the Tailed Beast Balls falling from the sky. With each one he blocked, his body would be injured, and the Tailed Beast would scream in pain.
Group Ab watched as the old man sacrificed the life of a tailed beast to shield them from the attack.
Suppressing their inner turmoil, they addressed the crowd: "Everyone, follow my voice and move towards me! Retreat!"
"Yataru, are you willing to die with me?"
Two-Tails Matatabi Ichishige, under attack from the Tailed Beast Ball, was unable to speak: "..."
"It's alright if you don't want to; you'll be free after you die this time!"
The old man used his last bit of strength to almost completely drain the remaining chakra of the tailed beast, erecting a barrier of flames.
Taking advantage of this brief barrier, the AB group, along with the remaining Cloud Village ninja, tearfully retreated and disappeared at the border of the Land of Hot Water. They then broke up into smaller groups and fled into the countryside.
Because they knew that the person who attacked them was a kind-hearted little girl, and with these ordinary people around, he wouldn't randomly use the Tailed Beast Ball.
However, a path to survival did not await them entirely, for Nan Shi, leading his Dao Dao gang, had already stormed in, and their war against the Three Kingdoms Alliance had only just begun.

The timeline returns to the Land of Rain.
When Hanzo the Salamander performed his summoning jutsu, it happened to coincide with the time when Shiki was performing hers, causing the summoning to fail.
He used his last strength to send Yahiko and the other two away, choosing to stay behind to cover their retreat, because he knew very well that these people's target was him, and as long as he stayed, Yahiko and the others would be able to escape safely.
"Let's fight!"
Having said that, he drew his knife and charged forward.
At the same time, nearly ten thousand ninjas who had taken the antidote surrounded and attacked.
But he was not afraid of the figure at all, moving like a flash.
With the first strike, three Sand Village Jonin fell to the ground—
With the second strike, the five puppets shattered into fragments—
With his third strike, he pierced through the crowd, heading straight for Luo Sha's location.
Chiyo, controlling the Chikamatsu Ten, intercepted them, but he cut three of them in half with a single slash.
The Iwagakure Earth Release ninjas used Earth Release: Wall to block him, but he cleaved the wall with a single slash and burst out of the dust.
Onoki swooped down from the sky, his Dust Release ready to be unleashed, but Hanzo dodged it all with his exquisite footwork.
But his goal never changed; it was Luo Sha. As the saying goes, it's better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten. He wanted to kill him!
The figure seemed to be getting closer and closer. Luo Sha's expression finally changed. He frantically manipulated the golden sand, building barrier after barrier in front of him.
Hanzo cleaved the first wound with one stroke, and then cleaved the second wound with another.
Behind the third barrier was Luo Sha's pale face.
Hanzo raised his sword to its highest point—
But Chiyo's puppet wrapped its arms around his feet from behind.
Onoki's Dust Release was activated again.
The shadow of the Nara clan once again climbed over his shadow.
The golden sand of Luo Sha transformed into sharp spikes and pierced from the front.
Besieged on all sides, sandwiched between bread!
Hanzo's body paused momentarily in mid-air.
Then he smiled.
He loosened his grip on the long sword, letting it fall.
He formed hand seals and unleashed the last of his chakra.
"Ninja Technique: Black Poison Cry!"
Black poisonous mist erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption, instantly covering an area of several hundred meters in radius.
The golden sand spikes of Luosha were completely corroded away in the poisonous fog.
Chiyo's puppet was engulfed by the poisonous fog, its joints rusted, rendering it unable to move. Several Root ninjas collapsed in the poisonous fog, instantly corroded into mangled corpses.
Even Onoki had to retreat to high altitudes to avoid the corrosive effects of the poisonous fog.
At the center of the poisonous fog, Hanzo the Salamander remained in the hand seal position, but his internal organs had long since turned black and smelled foul, and his body was already rotting.
"They... should be safe by now," he murmured to himself, his voice growing softer and softer.
The demigod Hanzo of the Land of Rain died just like that! He didn't let anyone succeed, but died by his own hand.
As the poisonous fog gradually dissipated, Chiyo stepped forward and saw Hanzo kneeling on the ground, his body now a blackened skeleton.
Luo Sha stood at a distance, his expression complex, and remained silent.
Ōnoki landed from the air, frowning slightly as he looked at the thousands of Iwa ninjas affected by the commotion.
At this moment, Chiyo sighed, "Let's all go. Hanzo the Salamander is no longer of any value in this state."
Everyone turned and left, and the surrounding ninjas quickly retreated, leaving no one to tend to the battlefield.
