The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 486 Creating Opportunities

"Although Old Purple was subjected to Tsukuyomi by Itachi, Jinchuriki are known for their thick skin, strong flesh, and resilient mental strength."

Qianyao analyzed, "Perhaps by now, Lao Zi has recovered from the effects of Tsukuyomi."

"Therefore, Shisui, you will remain hidden within the team for the time being. Once you sense that there is a need for assistance, go and provide support immediately."

It must be mentioned that Itachi's genjutsu skills were already top-notch, but Shisui's genjutsu abilities were even better.

Shisui not only skillfully uses light and sound as mediums for casting illusions, but his illusions are also often difficult to guard against when they are cast.

In comparison, even Itachi pales in comparison.

If the two sides were to actually clash, then having Shisui move back and forth across the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to strike, would undoubtedly be the wisest course of action.

"Understood, clan leader."

Shisui responded respectfully.

"However, on the actual battlefield, all actions must still be carried out under Fugaku's command and control."

"If I decide to take action myself, Mayumi, you must come with me."

Qianyao turned to look at the person beside him.

It was Mayumi, who had just successfully awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Mayumi nodded without hesitation.

As is well known, the high-end combat force of Iwagakure is far stronger than that of Sunagakure.

Although Chiyo was determined to lure the Iwagakure forces to a deeper place.

However, Qianyao also knew that too much of a good thing could be bad, and that their current position was basically sufficient, so they could end the battle.

His gaze shifted and he saw Neji in the team, observing the opposing formation with his Byakugan activated.

And beside him were Tenten, Hotaru, Kiba, Shino, Hydrangea, and Ino-Shika-Cho.

They all had their own tasks to varying degrees, but their main purpose in coming here was to accumulate war experience.

These children will also be the backbone of Konoha in the future, and they need to experience the cruelty of war.

Just as Chiyo and Shisui Mayumi were exchanging words within the team, the atmosphere outside the team became increasingly tense.

The other Hyuga clan members tirelessly reported the enemy's every move to Fugaku.

Fugaku also kept issuing various orders.

In this brief period of time, the formation of the troops outside had already begun to change and they quickly dispersed.

Two sharp whooshing sounds rang out.

Then they saw two huge Tailed Beast Balls flying rapidly from the opposite side like shooting stars.

Faced with such a sudden attack, Fugaku did not hesitate to wave his hand and shout:

"on!"

Upon receiving the order, the mountain tribesmen immediately relayed the instruction.

In an instant, the people of Konoha charged towards Iwagakure like a surging tide.

Everyone knows that if Iwagakure successfully builds a strong defensive position, Konoha will be in an even more unfavorable situation.

At this moment, there were 8,000 ninjas on one side and 5,000 on the other, totaling over 10,000 ninjas facing off against each other on the battlefield.

The grand scene was truly awe-inspiring.

The two Jinchūriki from Iwagakure on the opposite side had clearly also realized the importance of Fugaku and Itachi.

After all, as long as Fugaku and Itachi can be eliminated, then no one in Konoha will be able to stop the advance of Iwagakure.

Therefore, the two naturally set their sights on Fugaku and Itachi.

Fugaku and Itachi also set their sights on these two powerful Jinchūriki.

This battle is an absolute annihilation war, and their mission is to engage in fierce combat with the Jinchuriki.

This creates an opportunity for Qianyao to make a move quietly.

If we can capture the Jinchuriki successfully, that would be ideal, but if we can't capture him alive, then we'll have no choice but to kill him.

As the two sides drew closer, they soon met face to face.

In an instant, the chakra within the Jinchuriki erupted like a volcanic eruption, and his body entered a semi-tailed beast state.

Fugaku faced Han, while Itachi faced Roshi.

Han, covered in heavy armor and draped in a tailed beast's cloak, charged forward with the force of wind and thunder.

Facing this long-established opponent, Fugaku did not rashly throw shuriken or needlessly expend chakra to test the waters.

His Mangekyou Sharingan flickered slightly, and a powerful surge of energy erupted instantly, followed by the Susanoo bursting forth from his body.

Fugaku swung his arm and delivered a fierce punch to Han.

Han was equally unyielding. Under the tight wrapping of the Tailed Beast Cloak, steam boiled around him, as if his whole body was on fire.

A deafening roar erupted from his mouth: "Boiling Release, Unparalleled Strength!"

At the same time, he raised his right foot and kicked out with all his might towards Fugaku's Susanoo.

A dull "crack" was heard.

The Susanoo in the form of Fugaku's skeleton was kicked so hard that its bones cracked, and its entire body involuntarily staggered backward.

Upon seeing this, Fugaku frowned slightly, pondering to himself:

"It seems that this skeletal form is still unable to withstand the opponent's attack."

With this in mind, he quickly adjusted his strategy, ignoring the pain in his eyes, and further increased the output of his pupil power.

In an instant, the damaged Susanoo was repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, it gradually evolved into a more powerful next stage.

On the other side, Lao Zi, despite being injured, was not in too bad a condition.

It's just that they can't easily achieve full tailed beast transformation.

However, even in his half-tailed beast form, Roshi's fighting power should not be underestimated.

Recalling the last time he fought Itachi, Roshi took a hit from Tsukuyomi.

Now they've learned their lesson and are paying extra attention to Itachi's every move, never giving him any chance to use his eye technique again.

This time, Itachi did not activate Susanoo at the beginning like last time.

Instead, they first tentatively used conventional methods such as the Great Fireball Technique and throwing shuriken.

Unfortunately, Old Purple was currently in Lava Release Chakra Mode, making him almost completely immune to these two attacks.

Old Zi fearlessly faced the Fireball head-on, enduring the intense heat emanating from its blazing flames.

For him, it was as relaxing and comfortable as taking a hot bath on a regular day.

The shuriken and kunai that were shot at him were deflected the moment they touched Old Purple's body, and could not cause him any harm at all.

As for the even more powerful Amaterasu, Itachi did not use it rashly.

He knew that forcibly using Amaterasu against a Jinchuriki protected by a Tailed Beast Cloak would only be a waste of his eye power.

To outsiders, Susanoo might seem incredibly powerful.

But only those who possess the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan can truly realize this.

One's own pupillary power is actually limited, and it is accompanied by the inevitable consequence of blindness.

However, Itachi was not worried about this. The reason he adopted these seemingly gentle methods of attack was...

In fact, it was intentionally creating the best attacking opportunity for Qianyao.
