"This old man... "
"At such an old age, he still has such great strength..."
The frozen ground beneath their feet cracked deeply from the collision of their bodies. Sensing the immense force of the tens of tons and mabe even hundrends from Third Tsuchikage Onoki's attack coming down from above, a hint of surprise flashed in Yu's eyes.
"But anger can't change the facts..."
"You can't defeat me, Tsuchikage old man!!"
After stabilizing his own figure, Yu's Dragon's Breath, unleashed with full force from both hands, became even more astonishing in power. The terrifying black dragon, Air Cannon, with its mouth wide open to devour everything, engulfed Third Tsuchikage Onoki whole, soaring towards the sky!
"This brat..."
"Just with Taijutsu, he possesses such terrifying strength?"
Seeing his Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Jutsu, which had been strengthened countless times, crumbling inch by inch against the ascending dragon of the heavens transformed into Air Cannon, Third Tsuchikage Onoki's stubborn gaze flashed with incredulity.
Amidst the rampage, Third Tsuchikage Onoki was blasted into the sky like a cannonball, his entire body heavily injured by this terrifying force, and the crimson ninja attire symbolizing the Tsuchikage's status shattered and scattered in the air.
"Now that your son is already dead..."
"I can't bear to see you suffer the loss of a loved one. I'll send you down now to accompany him!!"
After Yu's full-powered Dragon's Breath blasted Third Tsuchikage Onoki into the sky, the fierce glare in Yu's eyes didn't dissipate. He knew that Third Tsuchikage's sudden appearance here was definitely not a coincidence.
Most likely, this was Danzo's plan to kill three birds with one stone. First, he orchestrated a situation for Nono and Yakushi Kabuto to fight each other, intending to eliminate them both after using them, then dispatched Orochimaru to intercept him along the way.
As a backup plan, he also managed to leak information about his arrival in the Land of Earth and his whereabouts to Third Tsuchikage Onoki, attempting to use the Rock Ninja as a tool to eliminate him, Nono, and Yakushi Kabuto all at once.
"From the very beginning, even from several years ago when he sent Nono to Iwagakure on a spy mission, this whole thing was a setup. On one hand, he utilized Nono's excellent espionage skills to gather intelligence for himself, while on the other hand, he used Nono as bait, constantly monitoring and observing my actions. The moment I set out to rescue Nono in the Land of Earth, he would immediately begin implementing his plan to get rid of me, his thorn in the side.
After all, over these past few years, my strength has advanced with rapidly, making quite a name for myself in the shinobi world. Together with Third, our master-apprentice relationship has solidified our power and position in Konoha. With this, he has no chance of successfully taking over. So, this old fox Danzo couldn't wait any longer to make his move.
Therefore, whether I went to the Land of Earth earlier or later, this old fox Danzo had already devised corresponding strategies. It's just a pity for the innocent Nono, who became a sacrificial pawn in this conspiracy and struggle.
Thinking of this, Yu can't forgive Danzo, this cunning and despicable villain. When he returns to Konoha, he swears he'll make this old guy understand what it means to suffer!
SkyPath!!
With countless thoughts racing through his mind, Yu's movements beneath his feet did not falter in the slightest. Stepping on an invisible path, his body swiftly maneuvered through the air, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with Third Tsuchikage Onoki, whom he had blasted into the sky.
Puppet Jutsu: Amber Manipulation!!
Not only that, while pursuing Third Tsuchikage Onoki, Yu threw out five blue Chakra Threads from his right hand, directly manipulating five Devil Puppets on the ground to fly into the sky.
It was a sky chase battle. Tyrant, Michael, Toshogun, Kaio, and Boil Release Ninja Han, under the control of Yu's Chakra Threads, moved with incredible speed and agility, instantly catching up with the rapidly flying Third Tsuchikage Onoki.
Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!!
First to catch up with Third Tsuchikage Onoki was Toshogun. Under Yu's control, it raised its hand and unleashed an immensely huge ice bird. The terrifying freezing power traced a dazzling path in the sky, freezing all the rainwater falling along the way into ice.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!!
Following closely behind, Michael wasted no time. The poisonous black Iron Sand diffused in the high sky, instantly forming countless tiny granules, launching a wide-range attack akin to shotgun pellets.
Moreover, the speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch with the naked eye, making it hard for enemies to evade. Additionally, the Iron Sand bullets could turn into sharp needles, enhancing their lethality. Even a graze from these Iron Sand bullets could result in a fatal wound.
"That damn guy..."
"How can he possess such troublesome Puppetry..."
In a desperate state, swiftly flying in the sky to evade the lethal pursuit of Yu controlling five Devil Puppets behind him, facing this furious onslaught akin to a raging storm of destruction, the esteemed Third Tsuchikage Onoki of Both Scales didn't even have a chance to retaliate.
"Do not push your luck!!"
"Even in death! This old man can at least take you down with me!!"
Especially considering that the Rock Ninjas and his son, Kitsuchi, who had accompanied him on this mission, were all killed by Yu, Third Tsuchikage Onoki's rage against the pursuit of the five Devil Puppets behind him could no longer be contained!
"In Dust Release, become atomized and dissipate! Brat!!"
"Dust Release: Ultimate Detachement of the Primitive World Jutsu!!"
Amidst furious roars, Third Tsuchikage Onoki finally found an opening for counterattack. He turned around, clasping his hands together, as Chakra beyond the Kekkei Genkai surged madly within him.
In the blink of an eye, the gloomy sky was illuminated by endless white brilliance. Before him, Third Tsuchikage Onoki directly unleashed a colossal pillar of white light.
This was an upgraded version of Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Jutsu. Not only did its range and power expand, but it also had a sustained destructive effect. Anything approaching it would be disintegrated into atomic particles, akin to the Ultimate Detachement of the Primitive World Jutsu.
In the final Great Shinobi War in the anime, Third Tsuchikage Onoki used this technique to directly obliterate twenty-five Wood Release Clones of Uchiha Madara's Susano'o, showcasing its immensely formidable power.
"Is this old geezer planning to go all out...?"
Facing the Dust Release: Ultimate Detachement of the Primitive World Jutsu crushing towards him like a wall of light, Yu's gaze sharpened, showing no hint of complacency.
Against opponents of the caliber of Third Tsuchikage Onoki of Both Scales, any negligence or complacency could result in instant death, without even leaving a corpse behind.
Ursus Shock: Air Bullet!!
In the critical moment, Yu didn't dare to hold back. He fully unleashed the abilities of Tyrant's Paw Fruit, manipulated by his Chakra Threads, to their utmost.
A pair of massive bear paws instantly compressed the atmosphere in the high sky to its limit, forming a radiant energy sphere that clashed with Third Tsuchikage Onoki's Enhanced Detachment of the Primitive World Jutsu.
