But it didn't work.
For Onoki, this was truly an unexpected outcome. He had used Dust Release repeatedly, even upgrading it to its highest level, but it was all in vain...
To be honest, I'm very disappointed, extremely disappointed.
At this moment, Hiruko appeared behind Bai Mu. Without the protection of Susanoo, he was confident that he could take down Bai Mu.
Swift Escape!
Increase speed, appear behind Bai Mu, and then deliver a fatal blow.
Even without your Susanoo, how could I not kill you? Although that old bastard Onoki is annoying, since he can use Dust Release to this extent and destroy your Susanoo, it means it's my turn to perform.
Onoki looked at Hiruko, who appeared behind Shiroki, with a complex expression on his face that he couldn't quite describe, only that he was expectant.
After all, the current situation is very unfavorable and the circumstances are very bad. If Hiruko really plays a role, cooperation is still possible.
Of course, open cooperation is impossible; they can just keep it a secret. And if things can be resolved smoothly, they'll still have to deal with these rogue ninjas later...
I am the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure. How could I possibly cooperate with a bunch of rogue ninja?
But now we need to solve the problem first, which is to defeat these people from Konoha.
There were only three people, yet they plunged my Hidden Stone Village into dire straits.
Because most of the high-end combat power is now located here.
It can be said that the Jonin fighting force from Iwagakure has basically been deployed, especially with himself and the two leaders participating. This means that the village's highest fighting force has been involved. But the problem is that even this cannot change the situation. That really means it will be difficult, extremely difficult.
In Onoki's view, things shouldn't be like this. Old Purple and Han both performed poorly, the woman named Eileen was truly terrifying, and the blue-haired woman was even more outrageous. She completely slaughtered the Iwagakure army, a one-sided massacre.
The only reason we were able to deal with the Third Raikage was because he didn't have any wide-range destructive ninjutsu, and also because he needed to buy time for his comrades before engaging in a battle with our more than 10,000 ninjas.
Tens of thousands of ninjas fought each other. No matter how powerful a ninja was, he could not withstand the exhaustion in all aspects, including his body, chakra, and spirit.
Your chakra and stamina will gradually be depleted. More importantly, you'll be fighting for three days straight without eating, drinking, or resting. Can you withstand that?
The answer has already been given: the Third Raikage is dead, so he couldn't withstand it. But the problem is Esdeath...
Her situation is different; is the power of her Ice Release technique, which has a wide range of destructive effects, really that strong?
They're not that strong in Kirigakure.
I underestimated this bloodline limit?
No, perhaps it's because of that blue-haired woman, something special. Her power is abnormal, which makes me abnormal too, that I actually went head-to-head with the Uchiha.
However, Dust Release is still possible. I broke through Susanoo, which means that Susanoo is not invincible...
"Steel Release: Steel Transformation!"
Hiruko metalized his body, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard into the back of Bai Mu's head, a move that served both as defense and offense.
Steel Release, such power, Hiruko is very satisfied. I can smash your head with one punch. You are just a mortal body, there is no way you can withstand it.
He was confident; he was very confident that everything would eventually come to an end.
However, the truth was that it was a dream. The fist did come down, but it missed the target, stopping about a meter behind Bai Mu's head.
Yes, it was stopped. An unknown force couldn't advance an inch.
Hiruko found it hard to accept and cried out, "No, this is impossible!"
Seeing this, Onoki shook his head and muttered under his breath, "Useless!"
The opportunity has been created, but the person in charge is incompetent; they couldn't even execute it. I really don't know what to say, or perhaps...
Is Uchiha Hakumu too powerful?
Perhaps, but that's no excuse for missing your target. These Konoha rogue ninjas don't seem to be very skilled; their ninjutsu is just a bit strange.
Quick escape?
Steel Release?
Are there two bloodline limits?
That's strange, where did it come from?
Onoki was completely baffled, but for Hiruko, his attack was completely blocked by the enemy using some unknown means, and it wasn't Susanoo at all. So what was it?
"When you're attacking from behind, don't shout so loudly." Bai Mu transformed into golden light and suddenly disappeared before Hiruko's eyes.
Then, Hiruko himself was struck by the golden light and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Onoki's expression changed slightly. Could this guy still fly?
I had completely forgotten about that; I didn't have Susanoo...
It can even linger in the air; that's truly extraordinary.
Chapter 227 What is my status, and what are you?
"Fuck you."
Beiliu cursed and swore.
Because of the metalization of his Steel Release technique, even when he fell from the sky and slammed hard onto the ground, Hiruko didn't feel much pain. Instead, he became even angrier.
For him, this was humiliation.
"He seems a bit out of it." Bai Mu raised his hand and unleashed a wide barrage of flames at the incessantly chattering Hiruko below.
Susanoo's magatama transforms into the shape of a magatama, covered in layers of flames, and will destroy the target once it hits.
Although Hiruko considered himself to be powerful with his Steel Release technique, he naturally dared not be careless when he saw that it was a fire attack.
Dark Escape Technique: Absorbing Acupoints!
He switched to Dark Release, attempting to absorb the flame, because any ninjutsu can be absorbed; that's the power of Dark Release, unless you're not using ninjutsu.
I go!
Just as Hiruko was feeling smug, he suddenly realized that his hand was surrounded by flames and he couldn't absorb any of them. So this wasn't a ninjutsu?
Thinking of this, Hiruko stood there dumbfounded, while Ōnoki above frowned even more, clearly thinking that this was indeed a useless piece of trash.
If it can't be absorbed, isn't that ninjutsu?
Hiruko found it hard to accept, but he needed to resolve his own crisis first. He quickly changed his strategy and used Storm Release: Thundercloud Wave to repel the flames summoned by Shiramu, otherwise he would be burned to death by the continuous flames.
After repelling the incoming flames, Hiruko dealt with the flames on his hands. Fortunately, there weren't many, and it wasn't difficult to handle. However, Hiruko also revealed his true form in the process.
He discarded the Akatsuki robe, revealing a body wrapped in bandages, but the body looked very small, like that of a child.
This appearance made Onoki frown.
In his opinion, it was one thing that Beiluhu was short, but the real problem was that his face was a bit too terrifying, like a gaping maw...
The upper half of her face is relatively normal, but the lower half is very abnormal, especially the area around her mouth, which is quite unsettling to look at.
Wait a minute, this guy seems to have revealed three different bloodline limits, right?
Are there that many? Is that okay?
Ohnoki didn't quite understand.
Just as Onoki was pondering this, Hiruko started cursing: "Third Tsuchikage, are you just watching a show?"
Ok?
You still dare to insult me?
What is my status, and what are you?
"Shut up. It's none of your business how I do things." Onoki snorted coldly and retorted directly. How dare a mere rogue ninja address me like that?
Normally, you wouldn't even be qualified to appear in front of me. What a piece of trash!
"you……"
Hiruko was furious upon hearing this, staring at Onoki in the air with resentment. The other party's attitude had undoubtedly provoked his sensitive nerves.
Angry?
That's for sure, but there's nothing we can do about it.
As for Hiruko, he knew clearly that falling out with Onoki now would be completely detrimental to him and not in his best interest. But if he could join forces with Onoki to kill Hakubaki, obtain his Sharingan, and acquire the fifth bloodline limit, he could achieve true immortality...
Back then, killing Onoki was a piece of cake for me, wasn't it?
Yes, we must be patient now and deal with the biggest threat first.
We'll deal with the rest later.
"Boy, don't think you're so great. I can kill you with ease." Onoki was very dissatisfied with Hiruko. Just because I can't do anything to that Uchiha Hakumaki doesn't mean I can't do anything to you.
"fart."
Hiruko couldn't hold back any longer and unleashed a Dark Release: Storm Dragon, not aimed at Hakumu, but at Onoki.
"Hmph, how presumptuous."
Seeing the incoming lightning, Onoki used Dust Release, showing no fear whatsoever.
However, Bai Mu, seeing this scene, said rather speechlessly, "Are you guys having an internal conflict? No way, I'm still here..."
How did they start fighting amongst themselves?
They completely disregard me.
Since they're so arrogant, they should be taught a lesson.
Susanoo instantly materialized, and a golden energy sword appeared in his hand. Bai Mu infused it with a little bit of his primal power, and then, with a single swing, he unleashed a bolt of lightning from the sky.
It's not fire, it's thunder!
With a thunderous roar and a violent lightning bolt, it struck directly on Onoki and Hiruko's heads, causing their expressions to change drastically.
Having suffered a loss earlier, Hiruko dared not use Dark Release to absorb ninjutsu again, because he was unsure whether the lightning was ninjutsu, and what if it was like the flame?
He could save himself just now, but now it's hard to say. So Hiruko has to make sure he's alright, otherwise he'll be in trouble again.
Onoki, on the other hand, was much calmer. He continued to use Dust Release, but despite his calm demeanor, he was actually very nervous inside. The continuous use of Dust Release had greatly depleted his chakra, and more importantly, he was only able to hit Shiromu head-on a few times.
