Is this the terrifying thing about the Third Hokage and Shinobi?
Listening to the words of the Third Hokage, Cross Country fell completely into silence. Naturally, he was secretly shocked by the Third Hokage's castle.
There is no doubt that there are two things at this time that the cross-country team did not expect.
The first thing was that the Third Hokage was preparing to kill him. In other words, Cross Country imagined that the Third Hokage was determined to kill him, but he never expected that the time chosen by the Third Hokage would be the moment when Orochimaru defected. .
However, when he understood that the Third Hokage had not really aged, but was hiding the terrifying power of a peak Kage level powerhouse, and could even faintly suppress a peak Kage level powerhouse, Cross Country was relieved as to why the Third Hokage wanted to get rid of him.
Why can I get rid of myself now?
Cross-country has always felt that Konoha Village is caught in internal and external troubles. In addition, the Sannin, the Fourth Hokage and other shadow-level experts in Konoha Village have either faked their deaths, left, or defected. In the idea of cross-country, if the Third Hokage wants to stabilize the situation in Konoha Village, in addition to showing weakness as he expected before, he will need the power of some shadow-level powerhouses, or the power of his shadow mage.
Who would have thought that the Third Hokage actually didn't need anyone's help at all.
As long as he is around, no matter what is external or internal, the Third Hokage can solve it himself.
The second thing that Cross Country didn't expect was the hidden strength of the Third Hokage.
Being able to force himself to use a partial "elementalization" just by relying on his physical skills, in the face of the overwhelming power of the Third Hokage, Cross Country has an illusory fantasy that he is still not strong enough.
However, recalling a scene from the original plot, Cross Country took a deep breath and became calmer.
What was that scene?
Needless to say, this is naturally the first peak battle at the level of Naruto in the original Naruto novel!
In the original Naruto novel, the first Hokage-level battle was not the Battle of the Nine-Tails, because the Battle of the Nine-Tails in the original plot of Naruto was only revealed in a few strokes. Therefore, the first true shadow-level battle in the original Naruto novel was the battle between the third generation Hokage and Orochimaru.
I can still clearly remember that when Orochimaru fought against the Third Hokage, he used the Earth Reincarnation without any reservation.
Even though Orochimaru was only reincarnated with foul earth and channeled the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, they were still weakened versions of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage. However, even the weakened versions of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage are still shadow-level warriors who can stand proudly at the pinnacle of the ninja world. The Third Hokage can face the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Orochimaru at the same time in this battle. Winning actually shows that even though the Third Hokage is really old, he still has terrifying power.
As for now?
There are still nearly ten years since the original Naruto novel. Not to mention that the Third Hokage has not really aged. Even if he is really old, it is also Cross Country's mistake that he failed to be extremely vigilant at the beginning of the battle.
Fortunately, Cross Country is a person who knows his mistakes and can correct them.
Therefore, after realizing that he had wasted a partial use of "Elementalization" because he underestimated the Third Hokage, he once again faced the Third Hokage and watched the Shadow Clone of the Third Hokage attack. The cross-country expression on his face was the concentration of his whole body. After gathering energy, he was ready to show the Third Hokage in front of him why he, Nara Cross Country, could become a shadow mage in the ninja world.
Why do the Kazekage of Sand Ninja Village and the Raikage of Cloud Ninja Village have to face the Shadow Mage now!
"Whoosh!"
The Third Hokage's body did not move. He sent a shadow clone to attack, which was also a failure.
It can also be said that the Third Hokage's previous sneak attack using shadow clones was a failure.
No matter how exquisite the skills of using a shadow clone are, the shadow clone is a shadow clone after all, and it requires a lot of chakra from the Third Hokage. In the concept of off-roading, the Third Hokage is a ninjutsu-type ninja who is proficient in five escape techniques. Consuming so much chakra for no reason even paved the way for the Third Hokage's failure.
Now, as long as Cross Country can eliminate the shadow clone in front of him, part of the Third Hokage's chakra will be consumed in vain.
In addition, the Third Hokage only sent shadow clones to attack, and the cross-country was clearly a good opportunity.
Immediately afterwards, at the moment when the Shadow Clone of the Third Hokage had just attacked, Cross Country used a perfect connection to make the Shadow Clone of the Third Hokage explode into the Cross Country without even using a near-instant substitute technique. in front of.
Going back in time, that is when the Shadow Clone of the Third Hokage just attacked.
Just when the Shadow Clone of the Third Hokage attacked three meters in front of Cross Country, there was only a "whoosh" sound.
Controlling the spiritual energy in the Yin Escape Brand, the shadow at the cross-country foot was clearly under the control of the Shadow Control Technique. With the "whoosh" sound, it invaded the front of the Shadow Clone of the Third Hokage.
However, the shadow clone, which possesses part of the strength of the main body, is also not so easy to solve.
In particular, the Third Hokage's physical skills are also superb. When he saw Cross Country attacking with the secret technique of Shadow Escape, the Third Hokage's Shadow Clone turned sideways to avoid Cross Country's secret technique of Shadow Escape.
Who would have thought that just when the Third Hokage's shadow clone was about to dodge, there was a sudden "shoo!"
Following the invasion of the black shadow under the control of the off-road, a blue sharp gun suddenly flew away and instantly penetrated the chest of the Third Hokage's shadow clone!
That's a sharp gun for off-road use!
Today's off-roaders are actually black shadows that can be controlled by the shadow control technique. The use of the secret technique of blast flow and sharp spears is obviously an improvement, and it is something that the third generation of Hokage has never thought of.
Therefore, when he saw Cross Country casting the secret technique of Shadow Escape and the secret technique of Swift Wind Flow, the third generation Hokage's eyes twitched fiercely.
On the contrary, the shadow clone of the Third Hokage has no chance of saving it.
But just when Cross Country felt that he had killed the Shadow Clone of the Third Hokage and had gained a certain advantage, the
Third Hokage suddenly attacked and once again told Cross Country how terrible his Ninxiong was!
"Cross Country, you use the secret technique of the Nara clan very well." "
Unfortunately, the secret technique of the Nara clan alone is completely useless to me!"
As he spoke, Cross Country only heard a "bang" sound, the Third Hokage The figure has already appeared in front of him.
What a speed!
His pupils narrowed slightly, feeling the ghost-like speed of the Third Hokage. He used the spiritual energy in the Yin Escape Brand cross-country, and the Shadow Armor suddenly wrapped around his body.
Under the strong defense of the Shadow Armor, no matter how powerful the Third Hokage's physical skills are, can Cross Country still be able to resist a little?
If it doesn't work, cross-country still has the "elemental" trump card. The Third Hokage can't hurt himself, right?
However, the Third Hokage seemed to be showing off the meaning of what he had just said in front of him. Just as he was in front of Cross Country, when Cross Country's Shadow Armor was perfectly protecting him, he suddenly saw the Third Hokage punching him, and Cross Country only felt an unbearable pain coming from his chest!
"boom!"
The Iron Fist of the Third Hokage completely ignored the cross-country Shadow Armor defense at this time!
A heavy punch penetrated the protection of the Shadow Armor and hit Cross Country's chest directly!
"How is that possible?"
"My secret technique of Shadow Escape actually failed!"
