Boom!!!
The flames spewed from Hiruzen's mouth instantly danced like a violent fire dragon!
In an instant, they split into three plumes, simultaneously blasting towards Kyo from the left, right, and front!!
The scorching flames alone raised the temperature inside the entire Four Violet Flames Formation by several degrees!
Moreover, the trajectories of those three fire dragons perfectly, without deviation, surrounded Kyo's body completely!
As if imbued with sentience!
This was the strength of Sarutobi Hiruzen!
With his deep understanding of this technique, even after releasing it, he could still skillfully control the direction of the flames through his own Chakra!
And once struck by this Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, everything would turn to ashes!
Hiruzen's aged eyes narrowed!
He knew,
He had to finish this quickly!
He could not give this guy a chance to control that black monster!
However,
At this moment,
What he didn't know,
Was that Orochimaru, watching from the side, upon seeing Hiruzen's Fire Release attack aimed at Kyo, instantly shuddered violently, his eyes widening in disbelief.
'Huh...?'
'Wait, what's going on?!'
'What is Sarutobi-sensei doing?!!'
'Hadn't he realized... that this guy Kyo is not to be trifled with?!'
Orochimaru looked at his former teacher and instantly showed a gaze as if looking at an idiot...
And just then,
In the blink of an eye, those three Fire Dragon Flame Bullets reached Kyo's vicinity, completely surrounding him!
Even at this moment,
Kyo still sat leisurely in his chair,
The flames illuminating his fair face into a slight reddish hue, the wind lifting his long hair.
Yet, he merely narrowed his eyes slightly.
Unmoving as a mountain.
Seeing this scene, Hiruzen opposite him naturally did not relax in the slightest; his gaze narrowed slightly!
"Explode!"
The three violently powerful fire dragons detonated directly around Kyo, sending flames and dust soaring into the sky!!
Boom!!!
Countless violent winds expanded outwards violently, as if even the earth trembled!
And at this moment,
Hiruzen hardly relaxed for an instant; he crossed his hands together, once again completing an even more complex and powerful hand seal!
The moment the seal was completed,
Behind him in the sky, an enormous Chakra water screen appeared!
This wasn't all. The next moment, countless exploding blue lightning bolts appeared on that water screen, completely intermingling with the water!
"?!"
Seeing this scene, Orochimaru beside him couldn't help but shudder!
'This is...'
'A composite Ninjutsu of Water Release and Lightning Release!?'
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, his gaze narrowing slightly.
'Indeed, he was still worthy of being called the Professor of Ninjutsu, possessing all five Chakra Natures...'
'When it came to playing with the five Nature Transformations, he certainly had skill...'
And just as he was pondering this,
The next moment,
Within that vast water screen, the head of a majestic azure dragon began to appear!
The body of this enormous dragon was composed of Water Release, yet its entire form was covered in writhing and exploding azure Lightning Release!!
The moment it appeared, it exuded an extremely strong sense of oppression!
"Composite Ninjutsu: Water Lightning Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Ha!"
Hiruzen gritted his teeth slightly, the voice sharp!
That immensely powerful lightning-water dragon charged ferociously towards Kyo within the dust cloud!!
Boom!!!
The dragon's body struck the ground, water surged, lightning raged!!
Countless Chakra rampaged without cease, Kyo's figure within was completely unseeable!!!
After a long moment,
Still no sound came from within.
Seeing this, Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and slowly exhaled.
"Ha..."
As a composite Ninjutsu of Water Release and Lightning Release, the Water Dragon Bullet not only possessed immense power but also had the effect of paralyzing the enemy!
Therefore, even if it couldn't kill the opponent, it could instantly immobilize them!
That was why he chose to immediately follow up the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet with a composite Ninjutsu.
'If nothing unexpected happened,'
'By now, that Amegakure's Shinobi should be paralyzed...'
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes in thought.
But just then, suddenly,
From within the smoke-filled air, a faint voice suddenly came.
"Hokage-dono,"
"I never expected that at the advanced age of 69, you would ambush me, a junior like this."
"Is this good?"
"-?!"
The moment the words came, Hiruzen's expression stiffened sharply!
'Wait!'
'What's going on!?'
'This voice is...?!'
However,
Before he could ponder further, suddenly,
A figure slowly walked out from the dust. Then, he lightly raised his hand and casually waved it.
Boom!!
A sudden gale, coming from nowhere, instantly cleared all the smoke from the entire area in an instant!
The figure standing before him was... Kyo, completely unharmed!
At this moment, he even still had a smile, looking calmly at Hiruzen!
"!?"
And at this moment,
Hiruzen was instantly dumbfounded!
In his mind, a thunderclap seemed to explode!
His pupils involuntarily dilated at this moment, his blood pressure spiking instantly!
His aged face instantly became extremely grim!
His gaze,
Filled with disbelief!
'This...'
'I-Impossible!!'
'What is going on!!!?'
'How could this guy emerge completely unscathed after taking a full Fire Dragon Flame Bullet and Water Dragon Bullet?!'
'Not even a trace of damage on his clothes?!'
"..."
Hiruzen gritted his teeth tightly, his expression dark to the extreme.
He spoke in disbelief:
"What's going on...?!"
"Amegakure's Shinobi, what exactly... did you do...?!"
"..."
Hearing this,
Kyo lightly raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying:
"What's wrong, Hokage-dono?"
"Have you never heard of the legendary 'Smoke Equals No Damage' rule?"
"This is common sense, Professor of Ninjutsu."
"?!"
As the words fell,
Not only Hiruzen, but even Orochimaru beside him was momentarily stunned.
'Huh...?'
'Smoke Equals No Damage rule...?'
'What the hell...?'
'Has this rule ever existed in the Shinobi World???'
"..."
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly, involuntarily pondering.
Although he hadn't heard this phrase,
Come to think of it, those multiple attacks just now did seem to create a lot of smoke...
'Could it be,'
'That he relied on some secret technique to achieve this state of being unharmed...?'
Thinking this,
Hiruzen's face darkened slightly.
'It seemed that to defeat this guy, I would have to try directly using physical attacks to win...'
Thinking this,
Hiruzen, almost without hesitation,
Once again quickly formed hand seals, then directly pressed his hand to the ground!
"Summoning Technique: Enma!"
Ton!
White smoke violently exploded!
The next moment, a sturdy monkey summoned beast instantly appeared before Hiruzen!
And at this moment,
Hiruzen's expression was extremely serious, without any further words, he simply extended his hand.
Seeing this, his old comrade Enma naturally immediately understood his master's intention, his gaze sharp.
Ton!
He quickly transformed, instantly becoming a long, thick iron rod, held firmly in Hiruzen's hand!
It was the other form of the summoned monkey Enma, the Adamantine Staff!
Seeing this scene,
Kyo slightly raised his eyes, instead looking towards Orochimaru beside him, extended his hand, pointed at Hiruzen, and said with a light smile:
"Hey hey, Orochimaru-san,"
"Your teacher here seems intent on not letting me go..."
"Do you have a solution?"
"..."
As these words fell,
Orochimaru's expression stiffened slightly.
Then, he couldn't help but darken.
'This...'
'What the hell solution can I have?!'
'Right now, Sarutobi-sensei has clearly completely identified you as the biggest enemy here, so of course, he'll target you first!'
'Damn it...'
Thinking this, Orochimaru gritted his teeth slightly.
'This plan to overthrow Konoha was clearly supposed to be my, Orochimaru's, stage...!'
'I came here to prove my choices to this guy, my teacher!'
'But why... has it developed like this?!'
'Sarutobi-sensei... even now, you still looked down on me...'
Thinking this,
A glint of unwillingness flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.
He decided,
To let Hiruzen witness the results of the forbidden techniques he had researched over these years, right now!
However,
Just then,
Hiruzen over there had already charged out!
His expression extremely serious, he went directly for Kyo, and swinging the Adamantine Staff in his hand, he fiercely struck down at Kyo!!
Boom!!
The violently powerful force, combined with Enma's power, instantly brought with it surrounding wind pressure!
But,
The next moment,
A scene that left Hiruzen utterly dumbfounded appeared!
Kyo simply raised a single hand slightly at the moment the Adamantine Staff descended!
N-No, wait!
Not a hand, but a single index finger!!
With just one finger, he calmly and directly blocked this attack from the Adamantine Staff!!!
Boom!!
The fierce storm instantly exploded outwards, yet the staff in Hiruzen's hand could no longer descend an inch!
In an instant, it was... completely blocked!!!
"-!!"
At this moment,
Hiruzen's complexion abruptly paled, his pupils abruptly contracted to their smallest!
As the storm exploded,
His mentality also completely shattered.
