Chapter 324 Repelling the Third Hokage
I looked down; there was nothing unusual underwater.
Looking up, Mi Shou saw a figure plummeting rapidly through the thick fog.
It's the third generation!
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!
The Third Hokage unleashed three fireballs, each churning with intense flames, attacking Mikami from the left, center, and right.
They were too close to form hand seals, so they retreated to create distance!
Mikami immediately retreated, while his two shadow clones rushed towards the Third Hokage, hoping to force him to defend himself by attacking him.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
The three fireballs quickly changed direction, with two directly hitting and destroying Mi Shou's shadow clone.
The remaining fireballs skimmed across the water's surface, continuing their pursuit of Mi Shou.
As he retreated, Mikami observed the trajectory of the fireball, formed hand seals, and used his peripheral vision to watch for the Third Hokage's next move.
As the third generation separated, the fog between them thickened again, making it impossible to see the third generation's appearance; only a blurry figure could be seen.
Using the observational power of his three-tomoe Sharingan, Yamori noticed that the Third Hokage's right hand suddenly made an upward pulling motion, and he immediately became alert.
Sure enough, as the Third Generation moved, the water surface about a meter away from Mimori's body rippled slightly, and two extremely thin steel wires appeared, one on the left and one on the right, as they were pulled out of the water.
Immediately afterwards, he heard a whooshing sound behind him.
That familiar sound—it's the sound of shuriken flying through the air.
So that's how it is. The fireball that was covering the shuriken was just a smokescreen, meant to conceal the two shuriken connected by steel wire.
Under normal circumstances, Mi Shou could easily spot the wire.
The battlefield is now filled with thick fog. As long as the shuriken with steel wire is more than three or four meters away from Mikami, Mikami's Sharingan will have difficulty detecting it.
With the interference from other fireballs, Mikami didn't notice this at the time.
As expected of the Third Hokage, every move he made was meaningful. He used precise movements to set up traps and finally delivered a fatal blow to the enemy.
"Too bad, you're just a shadow clone; you can't kill me like that!"
Mikami has completed the hand seals.
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"
The surrounding water immediately spun rapidly, forming a wall of water to protect Mi Shou.
Unexpectedly, the fireball in front did not directly hit the water wall, but suddenly changed direction, drew an arc above the water surface, and came to the side and rear of the water wall.
Seeing this, Mi Shou was puzzled when two explosions suddenly came from behind him.
The explosion was very powerful; the enormous impact blasted a hole in the wall of water.
At that moment, the fireball arrived in that direction and plunged into the gap.
boom!
Exploding flames shot into the sky like vibrant flower pillars, destroying the water wall from the inside, like petals blooming instantly, turning into streams of water that flew in all directions.
The third generation landed on the water's surface, gazing at the dazzling flowers of water and fire before them, a hint of regret in their eyes.
"pity."
His chest and lower back were pierced by kunai, and his whole body turned into smoke.
The two shadow clones that had just warned Misato to be careful were the ones who dealt with the Third Generation Shadow Clones.
After discovering the Third Hokage's shadow clones, they immediately launched an attack.
The Third Hokage's shadow clones were launching a fatal attack at the time, so they completely ignored their attacks.
As long as you kill Mikami's main body, Mikami's shadow clones will immediately disappear.
However, Mikami did not die, and his shadow clones did not disappear. Instead, they dealt with the Third Hokage's shadow clones.
The Third Generation Shadow Clone also discovered that Mikami was not dead through Mikami's shadow clone, which is why he said "what a pity".
"Huff...huff...what an old fox, he even anticipated that I used Water Release to defend...luckily, the enemy was just a shadow clone..."
After the flames went out, Mimori climbed out of the water, his back severely burned.
The attack just now did catch Mi Shou off guard, but fortunately he immediately entered Sage Mode.
In Sage Mode, Mikami's strength was greatly enhanced.
He gathered a large amount of chakra around his body, using the massive amount of chakra to form a defense against the damage from the flames.
On the other hand, he immediately dived into the water to get away from the flames as quickly as possible.
After the shadow clone killed the Third Hokage, Yamori finally appeared and immediately exited Sage Mode.
It's better to keep your cards hidden.
At this moment, the surrounding mist began to dissipate, and Misaki felt a powerful surge of chakra.
He immediately turned his head and, through the thin mist, saw Susanoo rising from the ground six or seven hundred meters away.
Beside Susanoo, there was also a giant purple python.
"Susanoo and Manda seem to be engaged in a fierce battle, and the Third Hokage is too busy to maintain the Hidden Mist Technique."
After thinking it over, Mi Shou decided to go and support his teammates, but still let his shadow clone run ahead.
Moments later, Mi Shou arrived at the battlefield and immediately began to observe the situation.
Manda has many injuries and probably won't last much longer. Orochimaru doesn't seem to have any injuries, but according to his Sharingan, Orochimaru's breathing is much more rapid and his movements are slower than usual, so he is probably very tired.
Ironfire manipulated Susanoo to wreak havoc, displaying immense power and dominance. However, the bloodstains around his eyes indicated that he had overused the Mangekyou Sharingan.
As for Kakuzu, he was lying limp under a rock, the earth-repelling energy on his body much thinner, and it was unknown whether he was dead or not.
Facing the three, the Third Hokage was also in bad shape, awkwardly dodging Susanoo's attacks.
His combat uniform was completely torn, and his exposed left shoulder was pitch black, clearly indicating that he had been poisoned.
The darkness was still slowly spreading and would soon reach the heart.
Upon seeing Mikami's arrival, the Third Hokage's expression grew even more somber. His body was nearing its limit, and if he continued fighting, he would only die in vain.
The situation was hopeless, so the three generations decisively withdrew.
"I hope everything goes well with Nagato."
Seeing the Third Hokage retreat, Mikami and the others did not give chase. Tetsuya withdrew his Mangekyou Sharingan and came to Kakuzu's side, asking, "Are you still able to move?"
Kakuzu slowly stood up, patted his heart, and said, "I can move, but I can't continue fighting for the time being."
Orochimaru released Manda from his summoning and asked, "What do we do next? Should we go find the leader, or leave directly?"
The room fell silent immediately after those words were spoken.
With a constant stream of Konoha ninjas, leaving as soon as possible is clearly the safest option.
However, they were also very confident in Nagato's strength and felt that they would be able to leave safely.
If Yahiko were to pursue the matter after the battle, they would face dire consequences.
Currently, none of them intend to betray the Akatsuki organization, nor do they intend to offend Yahiko.
Finally, Mikami, who was in relatively good condition, spoke up: "I still have some chakra left, so I can send some shadow clones to check the situation. Let's find a place to recuperate first, and then go to support the leader."
The battlefield where Nagato and Minato are fighting must be extremely dangerous. Sending just one shadow clone might not be enough to get them there alive, so Mikami must send several more.
Tetsuka nodded in agreement: "Whether we support Yahiko or evacuate, we must first restore our strength."
Orochimaru and Kakuzu agreed, and the group immediately left to find a secluded place to rest.
While they were resting, in a river valley to the south, Yahiko, Nagato, and Sasori were completely surrounded.
On the surrounding ridges stood Konoha ninjas, including Uesugi Kyosuke.
Seeing the large number of new Konoha ninjas appear, Nagato frowned: "Konoha's reinforcements arrived so quickly."
According to the agreement, Danzo should cooperate with them.
Nagato and Yahiko looked at Danzo among the Konoha ninjas. Seeing that Danzo was expressionless, they began to suspect him.
This was not the time to dwell on these matters; they immediately began to consider how to retreat.
Nagato said in a low voice, "I'll use that move in a moment, you guys take the opportunity to retreat."
