Clones to hold off Oonoki, so the Konoha ninja force wouldn’t be crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By creating only one Shadow Clone at a time and splitting his chakra evenly, the clones wouldn’t just be stronger—they’d last longer too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, during this time he had only leveled up once, leaving him with just one skill point available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using it to upgrade the Shadow Clone Technique would only raise it to level six, insufficient for any qualitative enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, once his chakra recovered, Fujinaka Genma created a second Shadow Clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With three Shadow Clones left behind, Fujinaka Genma felt it was enough to delay the enemy until he returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until midday the next day that Fujinaka Genma left behind his three strongest Shadow Clones, then departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma did not head directly to Kamui Bridge—he used Flying Thunder God to reach the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Iwa ninja’s vanguard had received word of his arrival, so their assault had slowed considerably, and they now stood ready in formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After defeating the Third Raikage in the Land of Earth, the Iwa ninja now had some experience dealing with such terrifying opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fujinaka Genma had gained experience too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Mura Yajuu hesitated upon seeing Fujinaka Genma’s arrival: “Genma, if your body leaves, the Rain Country front could shift from feint to main assault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he shared the same concern as Danzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this danger was objectively real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Yajuu, any action requires risk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma was resolute: “Even if I stayed there, this front could still collapse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the consequences of this front collapsing would be far worse than those of the Rain Country front collapsing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iwa ninja had already reached the Land of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the Rain Country, there were still fallback zones and buffer areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mura Yajuu sighed, finally convinced, then his gaze sharpened—he no longer hesitated and swiftly briefed Fujinaka Genma on the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation wasn’t complicated at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iwa ninja outnumbered them, and Konoha lacked sufficient troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Iwa ninja’s surprise attack was so swift that the Grass Village failed to fulfill its intended role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now both sides had already reached a boiling point—only today had their offensive suddenly slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma thought for a moment, then said: “Then let’s have a direct battle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A battle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mura Yajuu was startled, then said gravely: “Do Itachi have confidence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the news of the Third Raikage’s death in the Land of Earth had spread across the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the opposing Iwa ninja numbered over a thousand, with no shortage of elite jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Iwa ninja excelled at altering terrain, which could restrict speed-based ninja—unfavorable for Fujinaka Genma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Yajuu, it’s just one gamble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma declared boldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had two hidden cards—he could always reveal them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mura Yajuu made his final decision: he chose to trust Fujinaka Genma and take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Mura Yajuu began mobilizing the troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fujinaka Genma appeared, he realized no mobilization speech could match the impact of his mere presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Konoha ninja learned Fujinaka Genma’s true body had arrived, they erupted in excited roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their battle spirit exploded instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha’s white lightning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha’s death god!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who once forced over a thousand Suna ninja to surrender, killing his way from mid-slope to mountain peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who once fought alone against three hundred elite Kirigakure ninja, nearly wiping them all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a man leading them into battle, what was there to fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma rested for only two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At three in the afternoon, Konoha assembled all its forces—nearly seven hundred men—and moved out under Fujinaka Genma’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such commotion could not possibly escape the Iwa ninja’s notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, both sides faced off across a hundred meters of open ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iwa ninja outnumbered them, a dark, endless sea of bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Iwa ninja had prepared in advance, drastically altering the terrain beneath them—creating deep ravines and towering, sharp stone pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even, Fujinaka Genma sensed ambushes buried beneath the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma looked at the overwhelming Iwa force, said nothing, and immediately formed hand seals by piercing his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning Jutsu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud thud, Gamabunta appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma stood atop Gamabunta’s head, speaking no idle words: “Gamabunta!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gamabunta scanned the battlefield and instantly grasped the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately pressed his abdomen and cast a jutsu from over a hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive water spheres roared forth, hurtling toward the Iwa ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earth Release, Multiple Earth Flow Walls!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iwa ninja shouted in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled as thick stone walls erupted upward—over a dozen layers—forming a barrier that completely blocked Gamabunta’s Water Cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Fujinaka Genma, this was merely a feint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after casting the jutsu, Gamabunta leapt, carrying Fujinaka Genma high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Fujinaka Genma had already formed a Wind Release: Rasengan in each hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Wind Release: Rasengans were successively hurled downward by Fujinaka Genma from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>",867,"2026-06-21T02:29:34.312Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
