At this time, the four Kage each used their own methods to escape the attacks of Kenshi's shadow clones and rushed towards Kenshi's main body.
Only the Third Hokage, who boasted of being the strongest Hokage, was almost pierced through the heart by one of Kenshi's shadow clones' three-pronged attacks. Fortunately, Enma reacted in time and blocked the attack with his transformed如意金刚棒.
Bang!
The Third Hokage, startled, took a large step back. He looked at Kenshi's shadow clone with horror. He had almost, almost died.
Kenshi's Lightning Release Chakra Mode was incredibly fast.
This kind of ninja, who was fast and powerful, was the kind that the Third Hokage disliked the most and was most vulnerable to.
If it weren't for Enma's help, he wouldn't be able to withstand Kenshi for even one round.
Sizzle!
Without giving the Third Hokage time to think, the attacks of three of Kenshi's shadow clones instantly arrived. The other two shadow clones went to attack Ayase, the wife, and Sarutobi Tsukishi.
Kenshi didn't underestimate Ayase, the wife, and Sarutobi Tsukishi. He actually took them very seriously.
The other side knew about his genjutsu ability and his strength.
They wouldn't be able to act with the Five Kage without special means, even though they hadn't come forward yet.
Kenshi had to use his shadow clones to probe their abilities first.
"Damn it!!!"
Seeing the four Kage fly away, while he, the strongest Hokage, was being pressed by three of Kenshi's shadow clones, even Katō Dan's spirit joined in, using jutsu from time to time. He was barely able to withstand the attacks of Kenshi's shadow clones.
Actually, if he had time to pull away from the Third Hokage and use jutsu, he might be able to withstand the attacks of three of Kenshi's shadow clones, with the cooperation of various basic combination jutsu.
But unfortunately, Kenshi wasn't the same as he was a year ago, when he had just left the Root base and was easily kicked away by the Third Hokage when he got close.
And times had changed. Who would give you time to form hand seals and release jutsu?
Three of Kenshi's shadow clones, with Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated, were already very fast and agile. They also had Black Lightning as a ranged attack.
They didn't give the Third Hokage a chance to pull away and release jutsu.
The Third Hokage could only rage helplessly. He had realized that in this plan to ambush Kenshi, he, the initiator, was the first one to be eliminated, even worse than the Sarutobi clan's younger generation, Sarutobi Tsukishi.
"For the Sarutobi clan, and for Konoha!"
Seeing the clan leader being pressed by Kenshi's shadow clones, with two of them attacking them, Sarutobi Tsukishi knew that it was time for him to repay his family.
"Eighth Gate, Death Gate, open!"
"Eight Inner Gates Formation!"
Boom!
In an instant, a huge force exploded around Sarutobi Tsukishi. Kenshi's shadow clone saw a red figure faintly emerging from the white wave of air.
At this time, blood-colored steam was rising from Sarutobi Tsukishi's body. His black hair was rapidly turning red under the steam, and his entire body was turning a charcoal color due to the sudden surge of power.
"What terrifying chakra!!!"
Kenshi's shadow clone was shocked. In his chakra perception, the chakra that Sarutobi Tsukishi was currently releasing was far more terrifying than his own chakra when he opened the Death Gate and expanded his chakra space.
"Blood-colored steam, this must be the Eight Inner Gates Formation with all eight gates opened."
Kenshi's shadow clone instantly understood what forbidden jutsu Sarutobi Tsukishi was using. He was just a little surprised that there was a gap between the Eight Inner Gates and his power after opening his chakra space.
From this, he could also see that the Eight Gates and the Eight Inner Gates were not the same thing.
Thinking of the power of Might Guy, who almost kicked his way to the end of the story when he opened all eight gates in the original work, Kenshi's shadow clone immediately changed his straight line into an irregular "zigzag" line and ran towards the two.
He was fast in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and his reaction was quick. He didn't know if he could dodge the attack when all eight gates of the Eight Inner Gates Formation were opened.
Ayase, the wife, stood behind Sarutobi Tsukishi, secretly on guard. If Sarutobi Tsukishi couldn't withstand Kenshi, she would fly into the air immediately.
"Don't underestimate the Eight Inner Gates Formation!"
"Evening Elephant!"
Seeing Kenshi coming in an irregular "zigzag" line, Sarutobi Tsukishi roared angrily in his heart. Then, he threw out two punches.
In an instant.
Boom, boom!
The fists, swinging at high speed, struck the air. A terrifying force was released. The air instantly solidified like a solid under the terrifying force, forming a cylindrical shock wave. It was like a white laser beam that instantly pierced through the two of Kenshi's shadow clones who were moving at high speed.
"So fast!!"
"So strong!"
Click, click, click... The Lightning Release Armor and Black Iron Armor on Kenshi's shadow clones only lasted for two seconds before they shattered.
Boom, boom... The shadow clones directly exploded and dissipated.
Bang!
After taking care of Kenshi's two shadow clones, Sarutobi Tsukishi ran towards the Third Hokage.
"So strong?"
Kenshi, standing on the back of the Ink Eagle, instantly changed his expression.
He hadn't expected the attack after opening the Eight Inner Gates Formation to be so terrifying. A shock wave from six hundred meters away could directly destroy his Lightning Release Chakra Armor and Black Iron Armor.
Such powerful attack power made Kenshi truly feel the danger of death.
"I absolutely cannot let this guy get close."
Kenshi thought to himself. Then, with a thought, he dispelled one of his shadow clones on Guimo's side, and his main body instantly became full of chakra.
"Shadow Clone Technique."
Kenshi created a shadow clone, then dispelled another shadow clone on Guimo's side that was full of chakra. Then, he created another shadow clone with half of his chakra.
Kenshi continued to do this, creating five shadow clones with half of his chakra.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... All these shadow clones activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Black Iron Armor and rushed towards the Five Kage.
Kenshi rode the Ink Eagle, flying along the barrier, avoiding the Five Kage's surprise attacks, and delaying time.
"Ink Mimicry - Iron Rain!"
On the ground, one of Kenshi's shadow clones was the first to face the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki. Facing Ōnoki, who was flying in the air, he condensed a ball of ink into a steel downpour, forming a curtain of rain covering hundreds of meters, shooting towards Ōnoki.
Sensing the speed of the steel raindrops and the sound they made as they pierced the air, Ōnoki didn't underestimate them.
"Earth Release - Black Prison Earthless."
Black rock with a metallic sheen shot out from Ōnoki's mouth, blocking in front of him.
Ding, ding, ding... The iron needles condensed from ink hit the black rock, making a metallic clang. This defensive Earth Release of Ōnoki's had terrifying defensive power.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle... Seeing this, Kenshi instantly condensed lightning and covered the ink iron rain. Lightning overcomes earth. The ink iron rain, infused with lightning, flickered with lightning. Not only was it faster, but its penetration power was also stronger.
Hiss, hiss, hiss... The black earth was crumbling, as if being gnawed by countless rats.
Ōnoki couldn't leave for a while.
At this time, the other three Kage also encountered Kenshi's shadow clones.
"Magnetic Release, Iron Sand Rain."
The Third Kazekage was the first to attack Kenshi's shadow clone. Countless tiny iron sand needles condensed into a rainstorm, pouring down on the shadow clone on the ground.
The attack method was exactly the same as Kenshi's shadow clone's attack on Ōnoki.
Facing this move, the shadow clone, with half of Kenshi's chakra, had many more options. First, he condensed a thick, round iron ink shield to block it. At the same time, he controlled the ink on the shield to condense countless senbon needles and shoot them towards the Third Kazekage in the air.
Iron Sand Rain clashed with Ink Rain.
"Iron Sand Shield!"
The Third Kazekage made the same choice as Kenshi's shadow clone. He used an iron sand barrier for protection.
On the Third Mizukage's side, Kenshi used a single Earth Release, causing the ground to split and lift the Mizukage out of the ground.
But facing Kenshi's long-range ink iron rain attack, the Third Mizukage directly elementalized himself, allowing the ink needles to pass through. Then, he controlled the dark water to transform into a long snake and quickly shoot towards Kenshi's shadow clone.
Whoosh, whoosh... Kenshi's shadow clone didn't take it head-on. He moved quickly to dodge, and at the same time, he used Fire Release to attack, forcing the Third Mizukage to stop rushing towards Kenshi's main body.
As long as he could hold back the four Kage, the scales of victory would tilt in Kenshi's favor.
But... sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
The Third Raikage directly ignored Kenshi's shadow clone's attack and flew towards Kenshi's main body.
The Third Raikage, who had obtained the Peacock's Wonderful Method, was too fast. Kenshi's shadow clone couldn't stop him.
"Since I can't stop him, then I won't."
The shadow clone that was intercepting the Third Raikage turned around, condensed an Ink Eagle, flew into the sky, and released jutsu attacks on Ōnoki from a distance.
Of the Five Kage, the most dangerous to Kenshi was Ōnoki. As long as he could hold back this old man, everything would still be up for grabs.
