Kenshi, having left, saw the reactions of the mother and daughter, especially Guimo, through his shadow clone. His mouth twitched.
Well, this woman had completely fallen into her own imagination. No matter what decision he made, she wouldn't think there was anything wrong with Kenshi until she was in a desperate situation.
However... he really didn't know if the mother and daughter were lucky or if the enemy's methods were too clever.
The Third Hokage and the others were still following Kenshi closely. They weren't lured by the mother and daughter. They didn't even send anyone to chase after the shadow clones. They went straight for his main body.
Now Kenshi could finally be sure that the other side could either see him creating shadow clones directly or had a way to see through them.
No matter which it was, using shadow clones was useless for Kenshi anymore. He immediately dispelled all his shadow clones, leaving only the one with Guimo and her daughter, and took them away.
Kenshi himself retracted the Black Iron Giant Eagle and switched back to the Ink Eagle that didn't require his control. He continued to fly forward.
"Let's see who can outlast the other."
Although he was being hunted by the Five Kage, Kenshi wasn't worried at all.
The reason was simple. To use the words from the drama "Head-Smashing Heaven," it would be like, "There are a bunch of Dou Emperors chasing me from behind, but I'm not worried at all, because their horses aren't as fast as mine."
The Five Kage teaming up really didn't make Kenshi want to fight.
But their speed was clearly on par with his. He had enough chakra and food. Let's see who could outlast the other.
"Humph!"
A cold glint flashed in Kenshi's eyes.
After this chase, he would definitely go to the battlefield of the Five Great Nations, killing all the ninjas who couldn't withstand his genjutsu chakra.
He would let them know that the price of chasing him was not something everyone could afford.
"Stop, right here."
"Activate the barrier."
Just as Kenshi was about to step out of the encirclement formed by the four ninjas from the four countries, each holding a sealing scroll of the Four Red Yang Formation, Katō Dan, using his spirit's speed, informed the four to activate the barrier in the blink of an eye.
The four didn't hesitate. Upon receiving Katō Dan's instructions, they immediately stopped, put down the scrolls in their hands, opened them, and condensed chakra in their hands, pressing it onto the scrolls. They quickly released the seals on them.
"Four Red Yang Formation!"
In an instant, four red beams of light shot out from the sealing scrolls in front of the four. Soon, a scorching red curtain of light appeared between the beams, forming a cubic barrier with sides of four kilometers, trapping Kenshi... no, it was too short, Guimo and her daughter couldn't escape either. They were trapped in the barrier just like Kenshi.
"A barrier... and it's still so large?"
On the back of the Ink Eagle, Kenshi's face showed a hint of astonishment. He hadn't ruled out the possibility that the enemy would use a barrier to trap him and then surround him and kill him.
But such a large-scale barrier jutsu required a terrifying amount of chakra. The Five Kage were all gathered together, so Kenshi hadn't noticed that the four who had been separated from the Five Kage from the beginning were actually... using Uzumaki Mito's chakra.
"I see!"
At this time, Kenshi sensed the chakra on the sealing scrolls in front of the four. It was familiar. It was Uzumaki Mito's chakra. Suddenly, everything became clear.
If you asked who else in the entire ninja world could cast such a large-scale barrier jutsu alone, it would only be Uzumaki Mito, the Nine-Tailed Fox Jinchūriki.
It was just that Kenshi hadn't expected that such a massive barrier jutsu could be sealed into a scroll by Uzumaki Mito... slap.
Kenshi suddenly slapped himself.
He had been careless.
Where did his giant scroll come from? Wasn't it from the Adamantine Binding Chains barrier jutsu scroll that Sarutobi Tenjū had created using Uzumaki Mito's chakra?
He should have known that Uzumaki Mito had this ability.
It all came down to Kenshi being careless.
Humans are creatures of habit, and Kenshi obviously hadn't escaped the human species.
Whoosh!
Kenshi continued to fly towards the edge of the barrier. The barrier jutsu was already complete, but he could try to see if he could break through it.
Thump, thump, thump... At this time, the Third Hokage and the others arrived at one corner of the Four Red Yang Formation.
When the barrier jutsu was activated, they were outside and couldn't break through. So, they needed the people who controlled the Four Red Yang Formation to open a temporary passage for them to enter.
"Ayase, don't go in."
As the temporary passage opened, Biwako stopped his daughter-in-law, who was about to follow them in.
Ayase, the wife, had already given birth to her son with Kenshi. Her figure had returned to its original form, but her heart had not recovered.
"I must kill Kenshi." Ayase looked directly into Biwako's eyes and said expressionlessly.
Biwako shook his head. "Leave killing Kenshi to the Five Kage. You should know that you can't withstand Kenshi's genjutsu."
The Tsuchikage and the others also entered the passage one by one, without allowing their guards to follow them in.
To be honest, Kenshi's slaughter on the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Water had scared them a little.
Kusagakure was fine, but Takigakure was the only hidden village outside the Five Great Nations that had been given two tailed beasts when the tailed beasts were distributed.
You know, Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Nations, was only given one tailed beast.
This shows that Takigakure's strength was not weak. It had many strong ninjas.
But even such a powerful hidden village, among the thousands of ninjas on the border, there were definitely many Jōnin, but none of them could withstand Kenshi's genjutsu.
Nearly three thousand ninjas from the two hidden villages, none of them could withstand Kenshi's genjutsu. They were all slaughtered by Kenshi.
Such powerful genjutsu, unless you were a Kage-level strong ninja, you wouldn't be able to withstand it.
No matter how many Jōnin participated in the battle, they would only provide Kenshi with humanoid chakra fruits to devour.
It was because of this kind of overwhelming slaughter of low-level ninjas that the Tsuchikage and the others realized that if they didn't kill Kenshi today, what if one day Kenshi really attacked their own hidden village?
Kenshi could kill all those who couldn't withstand his genjutsu.
The key was that Kenshi had the heart to do it.
This was terrifying.
The Five Kage had all made up their minds. No matter what, they had to kill Kenshi today. They couldn't let him live.
"Let Ayase in." The Third Hokage said.
This time, besides Sarutobi Tsukishi, Ayase was also a backup. Bringing her here was to increase the chances of killing Kenshi.
"Hiruzen, you..." Biwako.
"No time. Hurry up." The Third Hokage said.
The Third Hokage personally spoke, and they really couldn't waste time. Even though Biwako didn't want his daughter-in-law to go in, he had to let her go.
Whoosh, whoosh... Ayase, the wife, joined the team to kill Kenshi. The eight of them quickly rushed towards Kenshi's location.
In front of the crimson barrier, Kenshi stood on the back of the Ink Eagle. In his hand, a water ball the size of a ping pong ball was turning from transparent to pure white.
The Four Red Yang Formation is mainly composed of Fire Release chakra.
Water overcomes fire. Kenshi frantically compressed the water ball in his hand, injecting Water Release chakra into it until he reached a limit that even he felt heavy.
The condensed white water ball was like a solid, containing terrifying Water Release chakra. It was only thanks to Kenshi's control that it didn't explode.
"Go!"
Kenshi stretched out his hand towards the barrier. With a thought, the high-pressure water ball, under his control, shot towards the barrier like a bullet fired from a gun.
Boom!
The highly compressed water ball exploded instantly, like a high-pressure water bomb.
Whoosh!
The water splashed down. The water from the explosion of a ping pong ball-sized high-pressure water ball was hundreds of cubic meters, showing how much Water Release chakra was injected into it and how powerful the explosion was.
But... looking at the crimson barrier, which was unscathed, Kenshi sighed inwardly. As expected of the terrifying barrier jutsu that could block a Tailed Beast Ball.
Kenshi naturally recognized the Four Red Yang Formation at this time.
Water Release didn't work. Kenshi tried to use the Adamantine Binding Chains to devour it, but the chains were instantly ignited by the flames of the Four Red Yang Formation.
"Well, it looks like it's time for a life-or-death battle."
Since he couldn't get out, he would fight. Let's see who could kill who.
Kenshi thought for a moment, boom, boom... He created seven shadow clones and ran towards the Hokage and the others.
Boom, boom, boom... On Guimo and her daughter's side, inside the Black Iron Giant Eagle, Kenshi's shadow clone created five more shadow clones. Then, he took out the giant scroll from the black water space. The six shadow clones absorbed the chakra inside the scroll together, filling their shadow clones.
"Ayase, Tsukishi, you stay here. Watch for the right time to enter the battlefield."
They were still 1.5 kilometers away from Kenshi. The Third Hokage told Ayase and Sarutobi Tsukishi to stop. The Five Kage would go first, and they would wait for the right time.
The Five Kage continued to charge towards Kenshi.
"Hokage-sama, those charging are Kenshi's shadow clones. His main body is still on the Ink Eagle in the back."
In their minds, Katō Dan transmitted the information he sensed with his soul to the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage immediately informed the four Kage. The ones attacking were Kenshi's shadow clones. They shouldn't get entangled too much. They should directly attack Kenshi's main body and kill him as soon as possible.
"Earth Clone."
"Sand Iron Clone."
"Shadow Clone."
"Lightning Release Clone."
"Water Clone."
The Five Kage immediately created clones, preparing to have their clones entangle Kenshi's shadow clones while they continued to rush towards Kenshi.
