Chapter 177 Do you also want to dance?
Lie Dou's face was a little gloomy. Although he had long expected that the people from other countries would not be very trustworthy, he still felt very annoyed when it came true.
Although he himself was very powerful, after a stalemate for a long time, he found that the Senju Hashirama opposite him was particularly resilient. His chakra seemed to have no bottom, and after destroying his wooden puppet, it would recover in no time.
Moreover, even if a wide-range attack is launched, this massive wooden dummy will block eighty percent of it...
Although Hashirama remained outwardly calm, he was actually quite pleased with himself. After so long, he had finally mastered Wood Release! Although he couldn't defeat the Wind Lord in front of him right now, the other party couldn't do anything to him either.
Moreover, playing on home turf, the ninjas from various clans coordinated flawlessly. While the enemy's puppet techniques were insidious, their poisons had been thoroughly researched. Although still toxic, they were no longer fatal. So far, only a very few ninjas have fallen victim to poison or hidden weapons.
"Why hasn't Madara arrived yet...?" Hashirama manipulated the wooden golem, raising his hand to block another devastating wind blade... "Wow... that was terrifying, this Wind Release technique is truly powerful..."
While thinking of Madara Uchiha, he fought "seriously." It wasn't that he didn't want to give it his all, but rather that he truly couldn't defeat him. Hashirama was already pondering how to strengthen his Wood Release techniques.
However, he didn't have to wait long. Just as he blocked the wind blade, a black figure suddenly jumped to Hashirama's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him on top of the wooden doll's head.
"Hashirama, it seems your Wood Release attack power isn't enough. Why are you always getting hit?" Madara's tone was teasing, but he was also looking at Retsuto with great caution.
A strong man! This guy named Retsuto is a strong man. Only Hashirama could stop him here, and he also happened to be able to counter Retsuto's wide-range ninjutsu. If it were him... it's hard to say. He believed that although he wouldn't be outmatched, in a real life-or-death battle, he probably wasn't confident he could kill Retsuto.
The other person is practically older than my own father. If time weren't so tight, I'd deal with him sooner or later in a couple of years...
Although that's what he thought, Madara didn't say much. He felt the usefulness of Hashirama's Wood Release technique and was a little envious... After all, given its size, unless it's a destructive ninjutsu, it's basically harmless.
Hashirama was taken aback, but without turning his head, he said wearily, "I can't help it. I'm already doing well to have held on this long. If you hadn't come to help me, I would have died here..."
Madara felt a chill run down his spine. Hashirama's tone... why was there something strange about it?
"Ahem... It did take some time, and one of them escaped, which was my fault... However, we've cut off their intelligence team, and we haven't found any signs of other countries approaching from elsewhere."
Ban casually explained, completely disregarding the feelings of the man in front of him, Lie Dou. Although he had killed his family, war was war, and it was normal for people to die.
As for why dozens of people surrounded and attacked more than a dozen people, and why one of them escaped, that was indeed unexpected.
Madara truly hadn't expected that when Tenka attacked Shamon, Shamon used Reverse Summoning to escape, and now a young, red-haired boy was also using Reverse Summoning to escape, as if... he had learned it from Shamon. Judging from his behavior, he seemed to be a direct disciple or something...
Before the two could exchange more than a few words, Retsuto, looking displeased, said, "You're Uchiha Madara? The so-called head of the Uchiha clan? You're still just a child."
After being called out, Madara gave him a cold look. He wanted to immediately join the fight, but inexplicably, a sentence suddenly popped into his head...
Do you want to dance too?
As soon as he finished speaking, Retsuto and Hashirama beside him were both stunned.
"What did you say?"
Retsuto was baffled, but he quickly abandoned his underestimation of him. After all, Hashirama Senju, whom he hadn't initially paid much attention to, had already caused him considerable trouble.
Realizing he had said something inexplicable, Madara should have felt embarrassed, but upon reflection, he unexpectedly found that the sentence... was kind of cool.
"Uh... Ban, maybe we should hurry up and start fighting. I reckon... the other countries will be here soon. This battle probably won't be easy for us."
Hashirama snapped out of his daze, regained control of the wooden dummy beneath his feet, and assumed a fighting stance.
Madara nodded in agreement. Regardless, they needed to deal with this carefree, wind-loving man before they could make any further plans. If they were surrounded and attacked by the strongest warriors from three or even four countries, even if Konoha fought with all their might, they might...
"Enough with the small talk. Since you're here, let's get started. I want to see just how good your so-called Uchiha clan really is." Retsuto replied casually, not wanting to think too much.
He was still floating in mid-air, the air beneath his feet swirling rapidly, and the sandstorm that had been gradually calming down began to stir again.
"You'll soon see what the Uchiha clan is like..." Madara's voice was as cold as iron, devoid of any emotion. His bloodshot eyes, carrying a hint of indifference and scrutiny, swept over the fierce fighter before him, and the ninjas fighting around him.
"Hashirama, the usual."
After Ban finished speaking, he took a step forward and, with the force of his powerful leap, jumped off the wooden dummy's head and charged straight at the floating Lie Dou on the opposite side.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"
So fast that no one knew when the hand seals were formed, Madara, in mid-air, threw out a massive fire jutsu, which quickly attacked Retsuto.
The extremely hot fireball instantly ignited the surrounding air. The originally lively airflow began to twist and vaporize the moment the fireball appeared, and the wind speed dropped sharply.
Lie Dou's eyelids twitched, and the air currents beneath his feet propelled him backward as he began to form hand seals.
"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!"
Taking a deep breath, Liedou suddenly exhaled an invisible vacuum wave from his mouth.
boom!
The fireball's power was significantly reduced the moment it collided with the vacuum of the wind-escape technique.
"Hmm? That's interesting." Madara wasn't surprised that he would block it; his expression remained completely unchanged.
Although the opponent used Wind Release, even though fire counters wind, it cannot achieve its true power in a vacuum.
Lie Dou was a little annoyed. He disliked fighting fire-style ninjas the most, but the Uchiha clan was full of fire-style monsters, which were very effective against the ninjas of the Land of Wind.
After throwing out his attack, Madara began to fall from mid-air. Just then, Hashirama, controlling the wooden dummy, suddenly reached out, and Madara landed steadily on the dummy's arm.
This is the combat method they have been practicing. Hashirama knows that he is not aggressive enough at this stage, while Madara is the opposite, so this cooperative combat method has emerged.
However, while Hashirama was playing a support role, he wasn't just a pure tank. Instead, he took advantage of Retsuto's retreat and dodge to continue harassing him with his smaller wooden dragons. In short: blocking movement.
"Damn it, why aren't those guys from the Land of Water here yet?" Retsuto cursed inwardly.
He was a little annoyed. He didn't think these two young punks posed any threat to him, and he could leave or retreat whenever he wanted. But they had gone to all that trouble to come all this way just to get a share of the spoils, hadn't they?
But now, Retsudou's "allies" have yet to show up. The Land of Water is still watching from afar, it's unclear whether the Land of Lightning has even arrived, and the Land of Earth is nowhere to be found.
"How about it, Senior Retsuto? It's fair that it's two against one, right? After all, you're older than both of us combined, so it's okay if you let us win, isn't it?" Hashirama teased.
Although he had been beaten for half a day, it didn't mean he had no temper. Now that his best friend, A-Ban, had arrived, he could finally fight back!
Madara found Hashirama's expression somewhat amusing, but outwardly he maintained a sour face while continuing to form hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
Fire Release...
Madara was throwing out ninjutsu like crazy, as if chakra was free, and they were all fire-style. Although he knew other ninjutsu, he preferred fire-style. That furious attack... was it deliberately targeting him?
"So annoying!" Lie Dou slapped away a fireball that was about to hit him, only to find that his sleeve was scorched. He was furious.
Not only that, most of the ninjas from the Land of Wind who came with him were more skilled in Wind Release techniques, but with the addition of the Uchiha clan, the scales of victory began to tip...
