Chapter 494 Survival by Cutting Off the Tail
Chapter 494 Cutting Off the Tail to Survive The situation is now extremely critical, allowing no room for hesitation or delay.
In order to ensure the safe evacuation of most of the Iwagakure ninja, Onoki made a difficult but resolute decision.
—Abandon those companions who are still trapped in the fire.
Although this decision was heartbreaking, as a leader, he knew he couldn't let emotions get the better of him at this moment.
A fleeting look of regret flashed across Onoki's eyes, but his expression immediately turned cold, and he issued the order without hesitation:
"Abandon those behind us and immediately change the terrain to block Konoha's pursuers!"
At this moment, Huang Tu, who had been busy organizing the ranks, rushed over anxiously upon hearing the order and shouted:
"No, Father! Many of our brothers haven't managed to escape yet!"
Onoki glared angrily at Huangtu, his eyes wide with fury, and shouted sternly:
"Get out of my way! Do you want more people to die here because of your indecisiveness?!"
Looking around at his fellow Iwagakure members, their faces covered in dust and their expressions filled with fear, Huang Tu felt a heavy weight in his heart.
His previously anxious expression instantly dimmed.
He slowly lowered his head and silently stepped aside, though his heart was filled with pain and reluctance.
But he knew very well that Onoki's decision was correct.
Just then, the fire in the distance gradually subsided, and the raging flames began to slowly die down.
This means that the powerful enemy—Uchiha Chiyo—could come back to attack at any time.
Time is of the essence; every second of delay could have fatal consequences.
Ignoring his son's feelings, Onoki began issuing orders:
"The sixth, seventh, and eighth detachments used earthen walls to isolate the pursuers."
"The Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Battalions are changing the terrain..."
As a series of commands were issued, the Iwagakure members began to form hand seals and slam their ninjutsu into the ground.
"Earth Release: Ten Thousand Mile Earth Flow Wall!"
The area on fire began to rumble and roar, and a tall earthen wall, as tall as a city wall, rose up directly from it.
Some of the rock hideouts in the burning area didn't even have time to escape.
They cried out in despair, "No! Lord Tsuchikage..."
Those who were too badly injured to run turned ashen-faced and collapsed at the edge of the earthen wall, their bodies trembling.
When they struggled to lift their heads and their eyes met the earthen wall that was tens of meters high, their hearts were instantly overwhelmed by endless despair.
However, Onoki did not just build one earthen wall.
The other Iwagakure ninja pressed themselves to the ground and began to use another ninjutsu to alter the terrain:
"Earth Escape Technique, Earthquake Core!"
The hard ground shook violently, and one side of the earthen wall seemed to be pressed down by an invisible giant hand, sinking directly downwards.
Thousands of ninjutsu users simultaneously unleashed their techniques, and powerful chakra surges swept in like a raging sea.
The ground began to tremble violently, as if a terrible earthquake had struck.
With the earth rumbling and trembling, the terrain of this land underwent a dramatic transformation in the blink of an eye.
In just a short while, a bottomless, pitch-black abyss appeared before everyone's eyes.
This abyss was several meters wide, and even ninjas known for their agility would never be able to leap across it in one go.
It was like a giant beast with its jaws wide open, ruthlessly blocking the escape route for the remaining Iwagakure ninja on the other side.
Ohnoki stood at a distance, glancing in that direction with a look of deep regret.
He knew that if he didn't leave this place quickly, Iwagakure would probably suffer annihilation.
With this in mind, he issued the order without hesitation:
"Everyone, retreat immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surviving Iwagakure ninjas turned around and fled the place filled with the aura of death as quickly as possible.
On the other side, the magical flames had ended, but now other things that had been ignited were still burning, and there was thick smoke and a burnt smell everywhere.
A large number of injured Iwagakure ninjas lay sprawled on the ground, unable to retreat in time.
Their faces were filled with terror as they racked their brains trying to figure out how to escape this dangerous place.
Meanwhile, Qianyao's clone had already quietly infiltrated the Boundless Realm.
He silently watched as the poor Iwagakure ninja struggled in agony under his powerful Fire Release techniques, ultimately perishing.
Compared to the last time he faced the Hidden Cloud Village, the power of the Fire Release technique that Chiyo used this time was even more astonishing, and its coverage was so wide that it was astonishing.
The reason he was able to achieve such a huge improvement was entirely due to the four clones continuously accumulating Sage Chakra for him.
However, even with such powerful support, after unleashing this terrifying technique, Chiyo's own Sage Chakra was almost completely drained.
This time, he did not launch the attack from high altitude as he had done before. If it weren't for his Boundless Eye Technique, landing safely would have been an insurmountable problem.
This clone is still useful at this moment, so we cannot abandon it.
Senyo noticed that Onoki, who was in the distance, made a decisive decision and abandoned his subordinates who were still trapped in the raging fire, choosing to cut off his own tail to save his own life.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
[As expected of someone who has served as the Tsuchikage for so many years!]
Qianyao crossed the Boundless Realm and arrived in front of the Konoha team.
The moment he stepped out of the Boundless Realm, his nostrils were instantly filled with a strong, acrid smell of burning and pungent odor.
Fugaku and the others always obeyed Chiyo's orders without question, and this time was no exception.
Since Qianyao forbade them to continue the pursuit, they obediently stopped.
Once they were in position, they were finally able to fully immerse themselves in appreciating this visually spectacular fire-style performance.
At this moment, the people of Konoha Village were organizing themselves in an orderly manner to clean up the battlefield that had just experienced a fierce battle.
The scene of utter chaos was shocking, yet everyone's movements seemed so practiced, as if it were just part of everyday life.
Just then, Qianyao's figure slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
In an instant, the previously noisy scene became completely silent.
All eyes were fixed on this legendary figure, their eyes filled with deep awe.
It should be noted that although Konoha has produced many Hokage throughout the ages, those with such powerful Fire Release techniques as Chiyo are extremely rare and unique.
Therefore, when they saw Qianyao appear, everyone felt an indescribable sense of awe and admiration.
"Lord Hokage!..."
A shout rang out from the crowd, followed by a tidal wave of greetings.
"Chieftain!..."
The members of the Uchiha clan were extremely excited, each holding their heads high with pride and self-satisfaction on their faces.
At this moment, a sense of honor as members of the Uchiha clan welled up in their hearts.
Fugaku and the others quickly surrounded Chiyo, tightly surrounding him in the center.
Among them, the most powerful experts naturally reside in the innermost layer.
Meanwhile, Neji, Tenten, and Hotaru, along with other young students, could only watch from afar.
However, even though they were on the periphery, the children could not hide their excitement.
Ying, in particular, possesses a far greater ability to perceive her surroundings than ordinary people because she carries the mark of the Earth Spider Clan on her back.
With her keen insight, she clearly sensed the rich aura of Sage Chakra permeating the air.
This mysterious and powerful force originated from the earth-shattering fire attack just now.
At this moment, Ying's heart was filled with shock and longing.
Mastering such profound and unfathomable immortal techniques is no easy feat, but she has secretly resolved to diligently practice them in the future.
