Chapter 718 Destined Destiny

"Dust Release. Original World Separation Technique!"

With a whoosh, the beam of light passed by the big white bird.

"Teacher, your Dust Release may not be able to hit me?" Deidara grinned and laughed from afar.

Scorpion on the side would not take the easy way out like him. He controlled the Third Kazekage to go around and launch a surprise attack on Oonoki from behind.

"Wind Style. Wind Blade!"

The puppet waved its hand, and an extremely sharp wind blade quickly cut through the air and came straight towards it.

Ōnoki dodged quickly without hesitation and successfully avoided the fatal blow of the wind blade.

Then, a puppet in a wide robe, none other than the Third Kazekage, landed steadily not far in front of Ōnoki, and stayed in the air in a floating posture with his feet on the sand mat.

Cooperating with Deidara in front, they formed a pincer attack on Ohnoki from the front and back.

The Third Kazekage stretched out her arms, and bits of sand gradually gathered in her palms, eventually forming a small, flexible sand-iron tornado.

He stared at Ōnoki expressionlessly, cold and lifeless.

"Sad guy!"

Facing this shadow who lived in the same era, Mr. Ohnoki felt a little sad.

Although he is one of the three Kages, he ended up being attacked by the villagers he was protecting, and was even cruelly made into a human puppet!

"How pitiful..."

Although he felt emotional in his heart, Ōnoki's hands did not slow down.

However, when he used the Dust Release Technique, the flying Third Kazekage was always able to release the iron sand just right to accurately block his attacks.

He wanted to attack the scorpion behind him, but he had no way of doing it.

"This guy's magnetic escape technique is too advantageous on the battlefield. The initiative is entirely in the hands of that puppet..."

If time could go back twenty years, Mr. Ohnoki would not have such feelings.

"Your Dust Release is too slow, old man Ōnoki."

Hearing Deidara's rude yet long-lost sarcasm, Ōnoki's expression flashed with realization.

All in all, this little guy has been away from him for almost three years.

Time flies and makes people miss it.

He is older than the third Hokage of Konoha and is now in his early seventies. He should have been enjoying his retirement.

But even when I get old, I still can't find peace.

Either the Jinchūriki of his own village was arrested, or his closed disciple turned against him.

He couldn't even find a successor to the next Tsuchikage in the Hidden Rock Village...

"If it was me twenty years ago, the speed of performing the Dust Escape Technique would definitely not be so slow. I was actually mocked by this little bastard..."

As time went on, his physical strength and reaction ability began to gradually decline, and even the deployment of the quantum realm of the Dust Escape Technique began to be delayed.

Although Ohnoki firmly believed that he had enough strength to defeat the combined forces of Deidara and Sasori, he could no longer achieve a quick victory as he did before.

This was because the opponent never engaged him head-on, but cleverly used his own advantages in defense and containment to keep a safe distance from him. At the same time, he could release iron sand anytime and anywhere to attack him from a distance without the need for hand seals.

This made Ohnoki feel a little helpless.

But as time passed, Ōnoki suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Lord Tsuchikage, our ninjas put up a strong resistance, but 40% of them have unfortunately died heroically, and the remaining personnel have also suffered varying degrees of injuries. Fortunately, Lord Huangtu and Lord Han are fine. But we need to evacuate the territory of the Land of Demons as soon as possible to minimize unnecessary losses!"

"Four percent!?"

Upon hearing this, Ōnoki's face was instantly filled with shock, and he was speechless for a moment.

The flying unit that he was so proud of actually suffered such huge casualties! ?

Just as he was in shock.

Oonoki's pupils suddenly dilated, he immediately realized the problem, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"Are the elite troops of our Iwagakure Village going to perish here?"

At this moment, it was obviously too late to retreat.

The Iwagakure ninjas here have already started a fierce battle with the white monsters of the Akatsuki organization. If they choose to retreat at this time, the opponent also has the ability to fly and large-scale ninjutsu attack methods.

At that time, they might not be able to escape and would be pursued frantically by the enemy, causing heavy casualties.

However, if you choose to stay and continue fighting...

Oonoki's hands and feet began to feel cold.

Shangguan Mo, you bastard!!!

They actually sold a strategic material like a flying summoning beast to a rebel ninja organization!!!

......

The land of rain.

Inside the meeting room at the highest point in the village, the atmosphere was dull and tense.

Gathered here are the Akatsuki leader Pain, Konan Kakuzu and others.

All of them were horrified by the battle report sent by White Zetsu.

I didn't expect that a force of less than a thousand people could have such powerful combat effectiveness.

It turned out that the 5,000 White Zetsu who were originally sent to support Orochimaru and his men suffered heavy casualties in the Land of Earth and were almost wiped out.

But fortunately, the mission was successfully completed in the end.

Iwagakure's fate was even more tragic.

They are one thousand elite ninjas in the eastern part of the Land of Earth, led by the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki himself, and with the powerful fighting power of three teams of official members of the Akatsuki organization.

This led to the rapid collapse of Iwagakure on the front battlefield, and finally Ōnoki had to abandon the Five-Tails Jinchūriki and flee back to the Iwagakure Village in a panic with his son.

In this battle, more than 700 of the 1,000 ninjas were killed. In the end, under Ohnoki's best efforts to protect them, only less than 200 remnants were able to evacuate.

"It's unbelievable that a guy like Ohnoki would abandon his men and escape alone!"
