Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

In the Land of Fields, in a flat and spacious canyon.

A burst of hurried footsteps was heard in the distance.

Along with the sound of footsteps, hundreds of panicked and embarrassed Cloud Ninjas appeared, running desperately towards the direction of the Land of Lightning.

As long as you cross the Land of Fields, the north is the Land of Thunder.

However, just as the Cloud Ninja troops entered the canyon and accelerated forward, dense crowds of figures suddenly appeared on the cliffs on both sides.

The perceptive ninja among the Cloud Ninjas immediately noticed the abnormality.

"Oh no, it's a ninja from Konoha!"

"Everyone, be prepared for defense!"

A Jonin from the Cloud Ninja Force shouted loudly, reminding everyone.

Before he could finish his words, the Konoha ninja who had been waiting for the opportunity had already launched the attack.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

A sky full of scorching flames poured down from the cliffs.

In an instant, the Cloud Ninja troops in the canyon were enveloped in a sea of ​​​​burning fire.

In just a moment, the Cloud Ninja Force suffered heavy casualties, and many people were engulfed by the flames before they could even react.

"Bastard!"

At this moment, a burly figure wrapped in lightning and thunder rushed out from the Cloud Ninja Army, with a tremendous anger in his eyes.

"Konoha! How dare you sneak attack us!"

Lei Ai roared, and punched towards the cliff with lightning and thunder. The lightning danced wildly across the cliff, making a deafening roar.

"boom--"

Dozens of Konoha ninjas were forced to flee in disarray after this punch, with heavy casualties.

"call out--"

Almost at the same time, Uchiha Shisui's figure suddenly appeared in front of Lei Ai, and the two were only a few meters away.

Shisui's eyes were bloodshot, and he was incredibly fast, dodging all of Lei Ai's attacks with ease.

"Boom boom boom——"

There were several lightning and thunder-like strikes between the cliffs, but Shisui avoided all of them.

"Damn, such a fast speed!"

After several consecutive blasts of lightning power failed, Lei Ai's face became solemn and he didn't want to fight with Shishui anymore.

"Righteous thunder axe!"

As he kicked out with the thunder that he had accumulated, the Konoha ninjas on both sides quickly chose to dodge.

"Boom boom——"

Two consecutive bolts of lightning cut off an entire cliff, and several Konoha ninjas who did not have time to evacuate were directly killed by the flying rocks.

Shisui stared at the burly man in front of him with a serious expression.

This guy's strength is too abnormal. Shisui doesn't dare to fight him head-on. He can only rely on his speed to delay his opponent as much as possible.

For a while, Konoha could only release ninjutsu remotely and did not dare to get close to Lei Ai at all.

Under Lei Ai's cover, the Cloud Ninja troops quickly evacuated the valley and rushed towards the north.

Seeing that his troops had successfully evacuated, Lei Ai no longer entangled with the Konoha ninjas. Covered in lightning armor, he rushed out of the valley under the attack of ninjutsu released by the Konoha ninjas.

He had just caught up with the Cloud Ninja troops when he heard a roar, followed by the ground shaking beneath his feet.

Not far away was the huge body of the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki. Countless Konoha ninjas had surrounded them outside the canyon.

Among these Konoha ninjas, the leading man's dazzling yellow short hair was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

Yellow flash, Minato Namikaze!

"The Third Raikage has died in battle!"

Minato Namikaze's voice seemed to be enhanced by some secret technique, echoing throughout the battlefield.

Even the Cloud Ninjas who were far away could hear it very clearly.

"What did he say? Lord Raikage died in battle?!"

"how so……"

Upon hearing the news that the Raikage had died in battle, the Cloud Ninjas had expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces. They couldn't believe that the Third Raikage had died in this way.

"Damn it! Raikage-sama was trapped because he was trying to protect us. He faced so many Iwagakure ninjas all by himself..."

A senior ninja from the Raikage's guard team seemed to have a mental breakdown. His eyes were red and he pounded the ground with his fists, bleeding.

"It's all our fault. We abandoned Raikage-sama and ran away..."

“We are sinners!”

The Cloud Ninjas all looked depressed and stood there stiffly.

On the contrary, the morale of Konoha was high.

"Assholes, cheer up! Father didn't sacrifice himself for you to die standing there!"

Lei Ai's eyes widened with anger and he roared at the Cloud Ninjas around him.

He had a premonition about his father's death in battle.

The siege of thousands of ninjas and the battle that lasted a whole night, no matter how strong his father was, he was helpless in the face of the human wave tactics.

Lei Ai took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself.

Now is not the time to be sad.

"Thunder-torture level Chiyomai!"

Lei Ai suddenly leaped into the air, and high-intensity electric current gathered in his hands, attacking the Konoha ninja.

Under his leadership, the Cloud Ninjas launched a desperate counterattack.

……

"Master Juzo, my Byakugan detected movement five kilometers ahead. It's an ambush by Konoha."

Qing led a team of reconnaissance ninjas and rushed back to the Kirigakure army from afar.

He reported the findings to Biwa Juzo in a low voice, and then continued, "I know there is a secret passage nearby. It was opened during the Second Shinobi World War, during the reign of the Second Mizukage. It can avoid the valley and go directly through the mountain to the other side."

Hearing this, Biwa Juzang's eyes narrowed slightly, then he nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll follow the secret route you mentioned."

Biwa Juzo gave the order decisively.

Under Qing's guidance, the Kirigakure troops headed towards the left side of the mountainside.

Behind a rock on the mountain wall, there was a cave entrance that was exactly two meters wide. Biwa Juzo was the first to step in, followed by the other hundreds of Kirigakure ninjas. They entered the cave one after another and walked along the secret passage.

This secret passage passes through the valley and bypasses Konoha's first two interceptions, just right into the ambush range of Konoha's third interception force.

Soon, the Kirigakure and Konoha armies met in a jungle.

The Kirigakure reconnaissance force soon discovered the ambush of Konoha ninjas, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

"What's going on? Didn't Minato intercept them?"

Hinata Hiashi looked puzzled, and his expression suddenly became serious.

The Mist Hidden Army in front of us didn't look like they had just fought a great battle.

According to the plan, the mission of their third group was to pursue the fleeing soldiers, but the Kirigakure ninjas in front of them were not only of astonishing number, but also in high morale.

Looking at the Konoha ninja in front of him who seemed a little at a loss, Biwa Juuzou raised the corners of his mouth slightly and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Water Release·Water Water Whip!"

In an instant, countless tiny water droplets seemed to appear out of thin air in the air, and under the control of Biwa Juzo, they quickly gathered together to form a thick water whip. This water whip was like a living thing, and it flexibly pounced on the more than a dozen Konoha ninjas around it.

Those Konoha ninjas had no time to react before they were tightly entangled by the water whips and could not move.

A hint of coldness flashed in Biwa Juzang's eyes, and then a huge sword shadow emerged from behind him.

"Shh-"

With one slash of the sword, blood rained down.

More than a dozen Konoha ninjas were cut in half before they could even scream.

"What? This guy is..."

Hinata Hiashi felt the murderous aura and his eyes became extremely solemn.

If I'm not mistaken, the long sword in front of me is the rumored beheading sword, then the guy with short black hair, no eyebrows, and a mouthful of sharp teeth is Biwa Juzo, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
