"Finally appeared..."
"So this is the legendary Kekkei Tota that surpasses Kekkei Genkai—Dust Release..."
Looking at the square barrier energy body formed above his head by the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's bombardment, facing this attack that seemed unavoidable and could disintegrate everything, Yu's calm and indifferent expression finally revealed a hint of unprecedented seriousness.
This seemingly unremarkable old man is not only the oldest Kage among the current five major ninja villages, but also the only known ninja in the ninja world who can use Kekkei Tota, his strength is absolutely unfathomable.
In the final Great Ninja War in the anime, as one of the strongest among the five Kage, Onoki of Both Scales' terrifying strength even made Deidara, one of the ten members of the Akatsuki with a rebellious personality from Iwagakure, feel fearful when he saw him.
Especially during this period, Onoki of Both Scales was about ten years younger than his portrayal in the past, making his strength even more formidable. His signature Ninjutsu, Dust Release, which combines Earth Release, Wind Release, and Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformations, surpasses the category of Kekkei Genkai.
It's a Ninjutsu that can perfectly combine attacks and barriers. No matter what it hits, it can instantly disintegrate the target into atomic state, making it impossible to regenerate. So, facing Third Tsuchikage Onoki's Dust Release that disintegrates everything, even Yu can't be sure if Michael's Protective Barrier can withstand such an attack. With almost no sound, Third Tsuchikage Onoki's Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Jutsu landed on the ground, instantly disintegrating everything on the ground.
"Disappeared?!" "This kid... such quick movements!" But after landing the blow, Third Tsuchikage Onoki's face showed no relaxation. Instead, he slightly furrowed his brow. Because in the instant his Dust Release hit the opponent just now, he saw with his own eyes Yu instantly disappearing into a circular air gate that opened behind him.
Air Door!!
Sure enough, as Third Tsuchikage Onoki's Dust Release shattered the ground, a circular door suddenly opened in the previously calm air behind him.
Dragon Claw!!
Armament Haki darkened his palm directly. Only to see Yu, who was thrown out from the Kaio's alternate dimension, forming a malicious Dragon Claw that tears and shatters everything with his right hand, fiercely striking toward the back of Third Tsuchikage Onoki!
"The most mysterious Space-Time Ninjutsu in the ninja world..."
"So that's it... truly a tricky little devil..."
However, what surprised Yu somewhat was that Third Tsuchikage Onoki in front of him actually sensed his elusive counterattack and immediately turned around to unleash a heavy punch!
Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Jutsu!!
Earth Release: Rock Fist Jutsu!!
In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of rock instantly condensed above the fist that Third Tsuchikage Onoki struck out. Not only that, he also utilized his proficient Earth Release Ninjutsu to increase the weight of his fist countless times.
Boom!!
The two clashed, and the air directly exploded with a shocking sonic wave, pushing both Yu and Third Tsuchikage Onoki back a step with their formidable and unmatched forces.
"To have such Taijutsu skills at such an advanced age..."
"This old guy is indeed not to be underestimated..."
After being pushed back in mid-air, Yu immediately released Sky Path, using invisible threads to bind the densely clouded sky above, stabilizing his position and looking somewhat surprised at Third Tsuchikage Onoki in front of him.
Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Jutsu—has the effect of petrifying the enemy and increasing their weight, making it difficult for them to move. It can also be used to increase one's or a comrade's weight, enhancing attack power. In the anime, Third Tsuchikage Onoki used this move to increase the weight of the Fourth Raikage's fist, successfully shattering Uchiha Madara's Susano'o, demonstrating its immense power.
Moreover, not only that, to be able to quickly perceive the attack Yu launched from Kaio's alternate dimension behind him, Yu began to suspect that this old guy likely inherited super-strong sensory abilities from the Second Tsuchikage Mu.
"This kid... has quite some strength..."
Similarly, Third Tsuchikage Onoki, floating in mid-air after being forcefully pushed back by Yu, was also shocked by the strength of this white-haired youth before him. "He actually managed to catch my Rock Fist enhanced with the Added-Weight Rock Jutsu using only Taijutsu... He's truly not a simple guy..."
"And he can stand in mid-air... It seems there's no aerial advantage in dealing with this guy..."
As one of the few ninjas in the ninja world who can fly, Third Tsuchikage Onoki's face darkened at the sight of Yu standing in the air.
"Tsuchikage-sama! I'll assist you!!"
At this moment, seeing his father Third Tsuchikage Onoki failing to take down Yu even with his own efforts, Kitsuchi on the ground didn't hesitate to act.
Earth Release: Sandwich Jutsu!!
While shouting loudly, Kitsuchi's hands swiftly formed seals, and then he forcefully pressed them onto the ground.
In an instant, the entire earth trembled madly, and two immensely large hemispherical masses of rock and soil rose up directly from the ground, carrying astonishing momentum and power as they sandwiched and crushed towards Yu in mid-air!
Although it's just a B-rank Earth Release Ninjutsu, when unleashed by Kitsuchi, it possesses the power to swallow mountains and rivers. Not only can it halt the target's movements, but it can also flatten and crush the enemy before him.
In the final Great Ninja War in the anime, the power unleashed by Kitsuchi with this move even momentarily suppressed the Gedo Statue summoned by Uchiha Obito and successfully restrained the Ten-Tails.
"It's useless, Kitsuchi!"
"This kid knows Space-Time Ninjutsu, your Earth Release can't trap him!"
Watching his son Kitsuchi unleash the overwhelming power of his Earth Release Ninjutsu beneath him, Third Tsuchikage Onoki, floating in mid-air, shook his head.
Air Door!!
Sure enough, as Third Tsuchikage Onoki uttered these words, Yu, who was on the verge of being crushed between the two massive rocks, instantly entered the door to the alternate space behind him.
"Since we're old acquaintances from the battlefield..."
"Then I'll let the Hidden Rock Village's own ninjas entertain you!"
The next moment, Yu's voice rang out again. He had already appeared in the alternate space on the other side, his feet treading on invisible threads. His right hand burst forth with blue Chakra Threads, directly pulling out a towering figure with a blood-red hue from the space behind him.
"What is this?!"
Seeing the red figure summoned by Yu from the alternate space, Kitsuchi and all the rock ninjas present immediately stiffened, their faces showing intense anger.
Boil Release: Five-Mountain Jump!!
The sound of a steam train echoed across the entire battlefield.
The red figure summoned by Yu emitted a steam-like Chakra all over its body. Like a rocket launcher, it descended from the sky, landing with the force of a thousand pounds, unleashing an immensely powerful stomping attack on Kitsuchi and the others!
This blood-red towering figure is none other than Steam Ninja Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki from Iwagakure who was once defeated by Yu in the Great Ninja War and turned into a human puppet by Yu's Puppetry techniques.
