"Hmph!"
Tsunade had no interest in continuing her quarrel with Granny Chiyo and asked sharply, "Where are the Stone Shinobi? If they dared to come, why don't they show themselves now?"
Granny Chiyo's expression clearly faltered, evidently not expecting Tsunade to be aware of these matters.
However, a group of individuals dressed in standard Sand Shinobi cloaks suddenly removed their cloaks.
Leading them was a short, sallow-skinned ninja, wearing a Stone Shinobi headband. He looked at Tsunade and laughed, "Kekekeke, the renowned 'Sannin' Princess Tsunade, it's been a while."
Seeing the short Stone Shinobi leader, Tsunade's expression turned grim, her eyes fixed on him as she forced out a few words:
"Assistant to the Tsuchikage—Iwagakure'sIwamon!"
Tsunade never expected the Tsuchikage to send a Kage-level powerhouse to support the Sand Shinobi.
As the Tsuchikage's assistant, Iwamon was not someone who could be compared to half-baked Kage-level ninjas like Monzaemon. It was said that in the Hidden Stone Village, his strength was second only to the Tsuchikage, Ōnoki.
During the Second Shinobi World War, he even faced Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya together without falling behind, marking him as an absolute powerhouse among the Kage-level.
"Damn Stone Shinobi!"
Tsunade gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
Granny Chiyo seemed to have run out of patience and shouted, "Where is Sakumo Hatake's disciple? Get out here, brat. I'll kill you first, then go after Sakumo Hatake."
"Are you calling me?"
Kai looked at Granny Chiyo from afar with disdain and said, "Let's see if you kill me first or if I wipe out your Sand Shinobi."
Without any warning, several kunai shot out rapidly from Kai's ninja pouch, but these were no ordinary kunai.
They were—Trident Flying Thunder God Kunai!
The sharp kunai tore through the air, instantly piercing into the Sand Shinobi ranks.
The next moment, Kai vanished from the Earth-Style Rampart, appearing beside one of the kunai.
With one hand gripping the flying kunai and the other slashing a Sand Shinobi's throat with the Sword of the Thunder God, he then backhandedly threw the kunai again.
The entire process was completed in an instant, and a Sand Shinobi was already dead, while Kai's figure reappeared in another corner of the battlefield.
His figure flickered, and in just a few seconds, nearly ten Sand Shinobi had fallen under Kai's Sword of the Thunder God.
It was only then that everyone reacted.
"This is... the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Tsunade's eyes shone with a peculiar light: "That brat, hiding so much. I'll deal with him after the war."
"This is the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique!?"
Shinnosuke Sarutobi was also full of shock. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had died in the First Shinobi World War. Although he had never seen the Flying Thunder God Technique himself, its reputation had shaken the entire First Shinobi World War.
Moreover, since the Second Hokage, no one in Konoha had successfully mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. It was said that Jiraiya's disciple, Minato Namikaze, was close to completing it.
Unexpectedly, Kai had already mastered it!
Compared to the shock among the Konoha shinobi, the Sand and Stone Shinobi were filled with dread and fear beyond their astonishment.
"This is the genius brat of Konoha, huh? His talent is indeed astounding. We can't let him grow any further; the ninja world can't afford another Hashirama Senju, especially not in Konoha. He must be eliminated."
A flash of cold light appeared in Iwamon's eyes as he spoke in an icy tone.
"Don't worry, I'll kill Sakumo Hatake's disciple."
Granny Chiyo looked at Kai, who was slaughtering in the Sand Shinobi ranks, her face dark with hatred and madness.
Iwamon nodded and said, "Leave Tsunade to me."
Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!
With that, Iwamon launched an Earth Release attack directly at Tsunade on the Earth-Style Rampart.
Monster Strength Punch!
Tsunade showed no intention of dodging. She clenched her right fist and struck the massive rock fist with great force. Instantly, the rock fist was covered in cracks.
Seeing Iwamon and Tsunade engage, Ebizo turned to Fuen, the host of the One-Tail Shukaku, and said:
"I'll handle Shinnosuke Sarutobi. You quickly deal with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, then eliminate the Konoha shinobi. Understood?"
Seeing Fuen nod, Ebizo immediately attacked Shinnosuke Sarutobi.
The Flying Thunder God Technique was indeed a deadly weapon on the battlefield. With Kai's elite Jonin chakra reserves, he could use it dozens of times without issue.
However, the Sand Shinobi numbered in the thousands, and Kai couldn't kill them all at once.
"Konoha brat! Die!"
Just after Kai had claimed another Sand Shinobi's life with the Sword of the Thunder God, he heard a voice, hoarse with rage, coming closer.
"Old hag, you think I'll die just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?" Kai sneered, casually throwing several kunai at Granny Chiyo.
Puppet Technique: Manipulated Assault Blades!
Several chakra threads shot from Granny Chiyo's fingertips, instantly attaching to the kunai Kai had thrown.
The kunai then changed direction, speeding back toward Kai.
But the kunai under Granny Chiyo's control didn't seem intent on hitting Kai. They circled around him a few times before suddenly tightening.
Kai immediately felt as if something had latched onto him.
"Haha, Konoha brat, with my chakra attached to your acupoints, your every move will be under my control. I'll make you torment yourself and then die by your own hand."
Puppet Technique: Forbidden Technique: Manipulation: Human Body Skill!
Kai suddenly felt his body was no longer under his control.
"Puppet technique, huh? Interesting, but this move is useless against me."
As Kai spoke, his body trembled violently.
Steel Fist: Modified: Vibrating Body Technique!
The Vibrating Body Technique was a modification using the Steel Fist's vibration skills to achieve a full-body shake, originally intended to enhance physical conditioning. Kai had developed it to complement his Lightning Body Technique, never expecting to use it in this situation.
