Chapter 243: Earth Release

"Damn it! I will definitely kill you~"

Seeing Dong Shilang's movements, Huang Tu realized what had just happened, and this time, with a face full of anger, he shouted at Dong Shilang.

As for that, Dong Shilang didn't take it to heart.

Such things are really too common on the battlefield; even he himself doesn't know how many people he's said that to.

"I never expected that the Stone Ninja who started this war would still have the nerve to say something like that~"

Though he didn't care about the harsh words, Dong Shilang wasn't the type to take insults without retorting; while dodging Huang Tu's increasingly violent attacks, he fired back.

"Hmph! You bastard, how could you possibly understand the bond between me and my companions!"

Regarding Dong Shilang's accusation, Huang Tu didn't dwell on it further; he simply controlled the stone golem and stepped toward Dong Shilang's position.

"I never thought that the Third Tsuchikage, known for deceit, suspicion, and breaking promises, would have a son like you who values his companions—it's truly surprising~"

Seeing Huang Tu's movements, Dong Shilang clearly understood what he intended to do, but he had no intention of stopping him.

He didn't care at all about the life or death of those Stone Ninja underground.

Being able to distract the enemy like this was exactly what he wanted.

"Bai Ling! Wake up~"

By controlling the earth with his own power, he sent the four underground Stone Ninja onto the stone giant's body, watching the guard and another person among them.

Huang Tu anxiously shook them, trying to wake the two.

Those two, plus another two Stone Ninja, had just been hiding underground, planning to ambush Dong Shilang, but they hadn't expected Dong Shilang to have already detected their trail.

Struck heavily by a single Chidori Sharp Spear from the opponent, they had already fallen into unconsciousness. As for the other two Stone Ninja, they weren't so lucky—Dong Shilang directly hit their vital points, and their bodies are now gradually growing cold.

"Aren't you going to rescue your two companions? Look at them—they can't hold on much longer~"

After seeing Huang Tu's change in expression, Dong Shilang spoke. Naturally, he hoped Huang Tu would abandon intercepting him for the sake of those two Stone Ninja's lives.

If that happened, it couldn't be better.

Familiar with medical ninjutsu, Dong Shilang merely glanced at the two and already roughly judged that, although they hadn't died outright, they couldn't last much longer.

"Hmm, this guy wouldn't really think that way, would he!"

Although he said that with his mouth, Dong Shilang harbored no illusion about it whatsoever.

What surprised him was that Huang Tu, standing on the stone giant's shoulder, wore a look of hesitation, seemingly torn between abandoning the interception of Dong Shilang and taking his companions to find a medical ninja.

"No wonder Da Ye Mu—he passed the Fourth Tsuchikage's position to the future Tui Ying, not to his own son."

"It seems he really understands his own son!"

This is also exactly what troubles the Third Tsuchikage: his own son is actually a soft-hearted person—how could he entrust the burden of the Tsuchikage to Huang Tu with peace of mind?

Not mastering Dust Release is just one aspect; more importantly, Huang Tu's personality flaws make it impossible to deal with the cunning, deceitful enemies of the Ninja World, who are as fierce as wolves and tigers.

"Lord Huang Tu, please hand over Bai Ling and the two seniors to me!"

Just as Huang Tu was hesitating, a figure slowly emerged from the swamp, speaking respectfully to him.

Regarding this son of the Tsuchikage, he still held him in respect; the other party was not only strong, but also deeply cared for the safety of these ninja, never treating them as disposable tools to be thrown away at any time.

Seeing his companions appear, Huang Tu was still happy, gladly handing his two companions over to the other, then turning back with a solemn face and saying to Dong Shilang: "Thank you for not interfering just now… but as a Stone Ninja, I still have to kill you!"

"Don't worry, it won't be too painful!"

Apparently feeling that this enemy's strength couldn't be resisted by his own companions, he added a sentence to the newly appeared companions.

"Notify them—just keep them surrounded from the outside, send people to chase the fleeing few, and then you stay far away!"

The Stone Ninja forces would arrive so quickly; Dong Shilang felt slightly surprised but didn't take it to heart. Anyway, Yan and his group had already broken out of the enemy's encirclement, and he believed that with their abilities, they could still escape successfully.

But what did those few sentences he just said mean, telling his companions to stay far away?

What is he trying to do?

Could it be that he wants to hit him with a Mountain Earth Technique!

If he had known this earlier, he would have been better off trying to cause a disturbance just now; perhaps then the other side would still have some reservations.

Just thinking about that future technique that pins the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which possesses the chakra of a Seven-Tailed Beast, in the middle to restrict movement made his scalp tingle.

He estimated that even if it were his own Gundam, if it didn't reach its ultimate form, it probably couldn't withstand this ninjutsu.

Fortunately, this terrifying thing didn't happen; it seems the opponent can't perform this ninjutsu while controlling a stone giant at the same time.

"Fortunate my ass."

At this point, facing Huang Tu's attacks, he really was somewhat overwhelmed.

Earlier, Huang Tu had still been considering intercepting Yan and his group, his energy was still somewhat divided, which is why Dong Shilang felt okay.

At this moment, he truly felt the terror of a Kage-level expert fully focusing his ninjutsu on a single person.

"Earth Release: Yellow Spring Eternal Burial"

"Earth Release: Rending Earth Technique"

"Earth Release: Rock Shelter Collapse"

"Earth Release: Earth Spike Forest"

And so on, each ninjutsu that Dong Shilang had seen in the original work or never even heard of, was unleashed by Huang Tu.

Like draining the Yellow Spring Marsh that Dong Shilang had added, then making those marshes form wave after wave that surged toward him at the center.

Afterwards, beneath his feet, he created a huge stone cavity, trying to make him fall underground, then having the dirt and rock at the edges collapse, attempting to bury him underground.

All of this, the variety is extensive.

This amounted to giving Dong Shilang a lively lesson on the application of Earth Release.

If it weren't for his Sharingan, which lets him anticipate the activation of enemy ninjutsu, and his being in Sage Mode with a fully charged power bank.

He estimated that this time he would really be laid flat.

At the same time, his inner mind kept complaining, never expecting that Huang Tu, this bearded roughneck, would actually be a ninjutsu artillery.

Moreover, the opponent's guard against the Sharingan was also overly cautious, leaving him with no chance to activate it……
