Chapter 135

And Kuchiki Byakuya didn't make him wait too long; the thousands of cherry blossom-shaped blades soon launched a second attack.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes focused.

Opportunity!

"Konohamaru: Gale!"

This is a ninjutsu he combined with the Konohamaru and Wind Release, capable of pulling in everything in front of him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rapidly spun the Konohamaru, and with the Wind Release, a powerful suction force rose in front of him!

The cherry blossom-shaped blades were pulled by the suction, instantly becoming erratic, and were soon trapped by the suction of the Konohamaru: Gale.

This situation finally caused a ripple in the eyes of Kuchiki Byakuya, who had always been expressionless.

But it was only a ripple.

After all, it was his first time seeing a move that could break Senbonzakura's Shikai like this.

Seeing that the tactic was effective, Sarutobi Hiruzen was overjoyed; he let Sarutobi maintain the state himself, while he broke away and formed seals rapidly: "Composite Ninjutsu: Thunder Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Roar!"

Accompanied by thunder and lightning, a huge water dragon appeared out of thin air!

On the water dragon's massive body, streaks of lightning snakes jumped wildly, and its scarlet pupils gave off great pressure!

The Thunder Water Dragon Bullet howled and dived at Kuchiki Byakuya at high speed!

Kuchiki Byakuya said indifferently: "You are indeed much stronger than that Half-God of the Ninja World, but you don't think that I have no defensive means just because I left Senbonzakura, do you?"

"Binding Spell Number Eighty-One: Danga!"

A transparent barrier rose in front of Kuchiki Byakuya; the Thunder Water Dragon Bullet smashed down heavily, but the white barrier didn't move at all!

When the Thunder Water Dragon Bullet disappeared, it was suddenly discovered that five figures of Sarutobi Hiruzen had surrounded Kuchiki Byakuya from five different angles.

"Five Elements: Great Combo Bullet Technique!"

The five Sarutobi Hiruzens formed different seals rapidly, using five different ninjutsu—Fire, Water, Lightning, Wind, and Earth—together, attacking Kuchiki Byakuya at the same time!

Boom!!

The five different ninjutsu swallowed Kuchiki Byakuya, causing a devastating explosion!

The nearby buildings were instantly destroyed!

"So, so strong!"

"This is the strength of the Third Hokage!!"

"As long as the Hokage is here, our Konoha will surely win!!"

Orochimaru, who was slacking off, stared at the direction of the explosion and muttered: "Teacher Hiruzen may be old, but he is still sharp!"

Koharu Utatane relaxed and said: "It's finally settled on Hiruzen's side!"

Homura Mitokado asserted: "Even with the physical strength of the Third Raikage, it is impossible to survive this move of Hiruzen's, let alone that guy who looks so soft and tender!"

As soon as his voice fell, the smoke from the explosion dissipated, and at the center of the explosion, besides a patch of scorched black, there was actually no one!

Homura Mitokado froze for a moment, then smiled: "Probably vaporized; even the corpse couldn't be found."

Other ninjas heard this and nodded one after another.

But they found that their Third Hokage still had a grave expression.

Step!

Footsteps sounded near the Konohamaru.

Everyone looked over, only to see Kuchiki Byakuya, who should have been at the center of the explosion, suddenly appear in front of the Konohamaru!

The only difference from before was that Kuchiki Byakuya was missing that white coat.

It's that move!

Orochimaru, Koharu Utatane, and the others who knew the intelligence immediately thought of it.

That move that could use his coat to have the same effect as the Substitution Technique!

And this technique didn't require seals, and the activation effect was very rapid!

Homura Mitokado also just remembered that Kuchiki Byakuya had this move, and his face couldn't help but turn ugly.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was grave, he was not surprised in his heart.

He knew the intelligence of every captain of the Land of Whirlpools by heart!

So he hadn't forgotten this technique in his tactics.

Everything was within his calculations!

Kuchiki Byakuya approached and kicked out with a whip kick, wanting to force Sarutobi out of his spinning state.

But just at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly and said: "Young man, your experience is still not rich enough!"

"Sarutobi!"

Sarutobi, who had perfect tacit understanding, suddenly took the initiative to give up continuing to attract Senbonzakura.

"Kongō Rōheki!!"

The Konohamaru suddenly split into more than a dozen clones, forming a square cage, imprisoning Kuchiki Byakuya, who was close at hand, inside!

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled calmly: "You have nowhere to escape."

"Oh oh oh!!"

"As expected of the Hokage!!"

The form of the battle changed so fast that other ninjas couldn't react at all.

Until the end, seeing Kuchiki Byakuya trapped in the cage by the Hokage, they finally reacted and erupted into earth-shaking cheers!

This move by Sarutobi Hiruzen greatly boosted the morale of the Konoha ninjas!

Orochimaru praised: "As expected of the teacher!"

Koharu Utatane finally breathed a complete sigh of relief and said: "There shouldn't be any accidents this time, right?"

Homura Mitokado straightened his back and guaranteed: "Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem this time!"

Koharu Utatane: "..."

It's not like you did it, why do you look even more confident than Hiruzen?

But at least it's finally settled, right?

She subconsciously looked at the Soul Reapers of the Land of Whirlpools, only to find them looking calm, as if the one imprisoned wasn't their own captain.

Why?

The imprisoned Kuchiki Byakuya was also indifferent, and even had the leisure to praise: "Exquisite tactics."

Using one super high-level ninjutsu after another to pave the way, forcing out his trump cards one by one.

Finally luring him to the location of Senbonzakura and using this stick to give him a fatal blow.

"Compared to that Half-God of the Ninja World, you are much stronger than him."

A rare look of doubt appeared on Kuchiki Byakuya's face, "Since he is called the Half-God of the Ninja World, then are you the God of the Ninja World?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face flushed, and he waved his hand: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare; I am just a mere strongest Hokage."

Koharu Utatane: "..."

Orochimaru: "..."

Tsunade, who was buried under the giant hand of the Flower Tree World and silently digging roots, muttered: "Shameless."

Kuchiki Byakuya nodded as if he understood, then said indifferently: "Although your tactics are indeed exquisite, did you forget that since this stick is used to trap me, my Senbonzakura is also released."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a relaxed face: "What can a sword that can't even break Sarutobi's indestructible body do even if it is returned to you?"

"Is that so..."

"Have you ever seen Senbonzakura's second release?"

The calm look on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face stiffened.

"Second release?!"

Bluffing, right?

Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously didn't want to believe it.

But there was an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart.

Other Konoha ninjas hearing Kuchiki Byakuya's words also began to whisper.

"Second release? You're lying, right?"

"Hmph, it must be that he was caught by the Hokage and is just bluffing!"

"Even if there is a second release, so what? The Hokage's Sarutobi has an indestructible body and can't be broken at all!"

That's right!
