Eight hundred meters.
Seven hundred meters.
Six hundred meters.
Five hundred meters.
"Genjutsu's coming!"
When the distance between the two sides reached five hundred meters, Katō Dan reminded them.
The Five Kage all tensed up. Kenshi's genjutsu was indeed something to be wary of. Whether this ambush would succeed or not depended on whether they could withstand Kenshi's genjutsu.
The Five Kage instantly secretly mobilized their high-quality chakra to counter it.
"Genjutsu..." Among Kenshi's seven shadow clones, five instantly used the Perception Deprivation Technique on the Five Kage and their clones.
Inside the Third Hokage's body, Katō Dan's spirit trembled, repelling Kenshi's invading genjutsu chakra. The Third Hokage was unaffected. He instantly summoned Enma and grabbed Enma's transformed如意金刚棒, striking at Kenshi's shadow clone.
The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki's Dust Release chakra trembled, instantly annihilating Kenshi's invading genjutsu chakra.
The Third Raikage did the same. With his Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated, the Black Lightning on his body flickered slightly, and Kenshi's genjutsu chakra disappeared without a trace.
The Third Kazekage used his magnetic chakra to directly absorb Kenshi's genjutsu chakra, preventing his perception from being deprived.
The Third Mizukage also had his own means of resisting genjutsu. He was enveloped in a mass of dark water at this time. Kenshi's genjutsu chakra couldn't find his head.
The Third Mizukage's body had become elemental, merging with the dark water. Kenshi's genjutsu chakra didn't last long before it was broken by the dark water.
"As expected, men who can become the Kage of a village don't have any obvious weaknesses."
The Perception Deprivation Technique was broken, but Kenshi's shadow clone wasn't too disappointed. He wasn't the same as he was a year ago.
Sizzle... Kenshi's seven shadow clones instantly activated the Black Iron Armor and Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Their speed instantly became like lightning.
Boom!
The Third Hokage's shadow clone was directly blasted away by Kenshi's sudden accelerated kick. He couldn't react at all.
Of the Five Kage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the weakest without Enma's support.
No matter how strong his basic jutsu were, they couldn't compare to kekkei genkai.
He seemed to be proficient in all five basic jutsu, his taijutsu and genjutsu weren't weak either. Compared to ordinary people, Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally proficient in everything, earning the title of "Jutsu Doctor."
But in the eyes of top-tier strong ninjas, this was mediocre.
His attacks weren't as powerful as Ōnoki's Dust Release. He wasn't as fast as the Third Raikage in terms of movement and reaction speed. His jutsu wasn't as powerful as the Third Kazekage's and the Third Mizukage's kekkei genkai.
Such a Third Hokage, with or without Enma, his shadow clone naturally couldn't withstand Kenshi's kick in Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen's shadow clone, the other four Kage's shadow clones reacted much faster.
The fastest one was still the Third Raikage. His Lightning Release clone didn't use Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but his reaction was no slower.
Facing Kenshi who was charging towards him, the Lightning Release clone instantly transformed into a mass of flickering black lightning, enveloping Kenshi's shadow clone.
However, Kenshi's shadow clone, who knew Black Lightning, naturally wouldn't be harmed by it. He also emitted dazzling black lightning, negating the Third Raikage's Black Lightning attack.
The Third Tsuchikage's Earth Clone also transformed into a stone man the moment Kenshi's shadow clone's three-pronged attack pierced his body. At the same time, he instantly split into large pieces of rock, like a swamp, engulfing Kenshi's shadow clone.
But... click, click, click...
After all, lightning overcomes earth. Kenshi's shadow clone, with Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated, easily broke through the rock encasement.
The Third Kazekage and the Third Mizukage's methods were similar to the Third Tsuchikage's.
Facing Kenshi's sudden attack, they couldn't dodge. They either enveloped Kenshi's shadow clone in iron sand or squeezed him with dark water.
But unlike the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage.
Kenshi's shadow clone couldn't break free from the Third Kazekage's iron sand encasement for a while. Moreover, the shadow clone could feel the iron element in his chakra-simulated body information being sucked out by the iron sand.
Boom!
In the end, the shadow clone exploded.
The Third Kazekage's iron sand had actually killed Kenshi's shadow clone through the Lightning Release Armor and Black Iron Armor.
"The Third Kazekage's iron sand is so strong!!!"
Kenshi, who was on the back of the Ink Eagle, was a little stunned at this time.
He had always thought that the Third Kazekage's title of "Strongest Kazekage in History" was just a joke, like the Third Monkey's title of "Strongest Hokage in History."
He didn't expect the Third Kazekage's iron sand to be so terrifying. It was controlled so precisely, penetrating the microscopic level, directly attracting the iron element in the human body, destroying the body structure and killing the opponent.
"I absolutely cannot be caught by this guy's iron sand!"
In an instant, Kenshi drew a conclusion. Although his main body would definitely be able to resist the magnetic release's attraction of the iron element better than his shadow clone.
But Kenshi wouldn't try it. What if he couldn't withstand it? He would be directly squished.
"Hmm... what immense pressure!"
The Third Mizukage's Water Clone transformed into a mass of dark water, enveloping Kenshi's shadow clone. Kenshi felt immense pressure from his shadow clone, like being at the bottom of the sea a kilometer deep. The terrifying water pressure firmly bound Kenshi's shadow clone in place.
If it weren't for the Lightning Release Armor and Black Iron Armor on his body, Kenshi's shadow clone wouldn't have been able to withstand such terrifying pressure.
"Another jutsu that can't be entangled with."
The Third Mizukage's danger rose another level in Kenshi's mind, second only to the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Kazekage.
Compared to these three, the Third Raikage's danger was much less.
As for the Third Hokage, the monkey... he wasn't dangerous at all.
As the only Kage whose shadow clone couldn't even counterattack before being killed, no one would argue that Sarutobi Hiruzen was the weakest of the Five Kage.
"No wonder this guy has been hiding in Konoha after becoming Hokage. He's probably too weak. He can't even defeat one Kage when he goes out, so he can only hide in Konoha and maintain the false propaganda of being the strongest Hokage."
Kenshi thought to himself. His shadow clones didn't slow down.
Except for the one that was killed by the Third Kazekage's iron sand and the one that was bound by the Third Mizukage's water, the other five shadow clones immediately turned around and chased after the Five Kage, not giving them a chance to get close to his main body.
Kenshi, on the Ink Eagle, flew away from the Five Kage.
He had already figured out that the Four Red Yang Formation barrier jutsu wouldn't last too long. After all, it was a barrier jutsu activated by sealing scrolls. It had limited chakra.
He just needed to hold on for a little longer, and the scales of victory would tip in his favor.
Without the barrier jutsu, the Five Kage's alliance wouldn't be able to exert its full power.
"Lightning Release Chakra Mode!!"
"This guy... I can't believe that even Kenshi knows this!"
The Five Kage were all shocked when they saw Kenshi's shadow clone using Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but then they thought that Kenshi even knew the Third Raikage's Black Lightning. It didn't seem like it was a big deal that he knew Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Whoosh!
Ōnoki directly flew into the air. He didn't want to get entangled with Kenshi's shadow clone. Kenshi's shadow clone had no choice. After activating the Lightning Release Armor and Black Iron Armor, he didn't have any extra chakra to condense a Black Iron Giant Eagle. He could only fire a Black Lightning towards Ōnoki.
"Earth Release - Earth Flow Wall."
Ōnoki spat out a wall of earth with water, blocking... it definitely wouldn't block Black Lightning, but it delayed the attack. He took the opportunity to fly into the air and towards Kenshi's main body.
The Third Kazekage also used iron sand to block the Black Iron Chains shot by Kenshi's shadow clone. He took the opportunity to condense iron sand wings, using magnetic confinement to fly into the air and towards Kenshi's main body.
The Third Raikage was even more incredible. Two Lightning Release chakra wings suddenly extended from his back. Then, he flapped his wings and flew up. His speed was like lightning. Kenshi's shadow clone's attack couldn't even catch up as he flew into the sky.
"Lightning Release chakra can be used like this?"
The Third Raikage's sudden move really surprised Kenshi. He immediately controlled his Lightning Release chakra and condensed two wings behind him. However, it was useless. He couldn't fly.
"How did the Third Raikage do that?"
Kenshi was puzzled. The other four Kage were also dumbfounded. They then cursed inwardly. They hadn't expected the Third Raikage, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, to have this trick up his sleeve.
Especially Ōnoki, who had been fighting the Third Raikage all along. He had never seen the Third Raikage use this flying Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
This was a sneak attack!
Fortunately, Kenshi had forced him to use this move.
Otherwise, if he had been caught off guard, and the Third Raikage had charged in front of him, even with Dust Release, he might not have been able to dodge in time and would have been seriously injured or even killed.
"Kenshi, you won't escape this time."
The Third Raikage looked ahead, his gaze sharp. He was very annoyed that he had missed the best opportunity to kill Kenshi last time, when Kenshi had escaped using his flying ability.
To make up for his inability to fly, he personally led a team to destroy a small hidden village and took a chakra secret technique called "Peacock's Wonderful Method" from them.
Using that peculiar meteorite and the Peacock's Wonderful Method, he could now not only fly, but his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which had been honed to the limit, had also been enhanced.
Although it was only enhanced a little, the increase in strength from this slight enhancement was several times.
This improvement was significant.
Of course, the price of this improvement was not ordinary.
The Third Raikage could feel his cells deteriorating. If he continued to use the Peacock's Wonderful Method, his lifespan would be at most five years.
But for the future of Kumogakure, the Third Raikage was willing to sacrifice. As long as he could kill Kenshi, it would all be worth it.
The Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage all escaped from Kenshi's shadow clones by flying.
The Third Mizukage didn't have any flying techniques. He simply transformed into a pool of dark water and quickly disappeared underground.
But in Kenshi's chakra perception, the dark water was like water falling on a tissue, quickly seeping towards Kenshi.
It was very fast, not much slower than Kenshi's shadow clone with Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated.
But because it was underground, Kenshi's shadow clone, who didn't have extra chakra, couldn't stop the Third Mizukage.
