Chapter 230: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Anime Style? Chapter 104

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

The middle-aged man with brown skin turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly appeared before Li Ang, then flew backward at an even greater speed the next moment.

But no one was paying attention to him now.

The Tsuchikage, Oonoki, stared at the distant scene, his pupils trembling violently: "How is this possible?"

"A power like his?!"

In the mind of the aged Tsuchikage, flashes of his past encounter with Uchiha Madara alongside his Master surfaced—he had never felt so powerless before.

At this moment, a towering cyan-red giant wielding a long spear stood firmly upon the earth, radiating its terrifying aura without restraint.

Third Power: Susano'o!

Yet at this moment, Li Ang slightly furrowed his brow:

'Can a fully matured Mangekyou Sharingan only summon Susano'o to this level?'

Since activating the Mangekyou Sharingan doesn't interfere with other actions, Li Ang often kept it active to grind experience.

Unfortunately, without combat, experience gained was extremely slow.

Thus, the Susano'o now manifested still fell short of the complete form used by Madara and Sasuke.

Fortunately, Li Ang wasn't limited to just this technique.

Just as Sasuke's Susano'o could be infused with natural energy to become a Senjutsu form, so could he.

And he could do better than Sasuke—after all, Sasuke achieved it with help from Juugo, while he himself mastered Sage Mode!

The next instant, brilliant cyan-red flames erupted from the giant's body, leaving trails of afterimages in the air.

Susano'o: Sage Mode!

Seeing this sight, the ninja from the Allied Shinobi Forces couldn't help swallowing hard—they had never encountered anything like this before, having never been beaten by a vegetable or Gao Da.

'You're telling me this is a ninja??'

The Five Kage naturally realized they couldn't let Li Ang display his power unchecked—otherwise, before the war even began, their side would collapse from morale loss.

"Attack together!"

The Tsuchikage Oonoki shouted, then a white light flared in his hand, followed by a cylindrical Barrier shooting rapidly toward Li Ang's position.

Dust Release: Primitive World Separation Technique!

If anyone here had the best chance of injuring Li Ang, it was undoubtedly this Tsuchikage.

Unfortunately

Li Ang wasn't limited to just this.

He clasped his hands together, his expression utterly unchanging.

"Wood Release: Tree Creation!"

Tsunade initially thought she'd misheard—until she saw massive tree trunks erupting one after another from the ground, forming a sizable forest in the blink of an eye.

Li Ang still couldn't use the True Thousand Hands or Buddha Statue of the Supreme King, but techniques like Tree Creation, which only required pouring in massive chakra to expand range and power, posed no challenge to him.

【Energy: 620】.

Chakra? More like Chakra Tons!

Unlike Naruto Uzumaki, who was born with an energy advantage, Li Ang had reached this point entirely through effort and sweat!

Before Oonoki's Dust Release reached Li Ang, it was blocked by the dense forest.

Everyone stared at the cyan-red giant standing within the forest, their faces grim.

At this moment, a filthy A reappeared beside Tsunade and the others, speaking harshly: "Hokage, are you certain this guy has no connection to your Leaf Village?"

Sharingan, Wood Release, now all he's missing is the Byakugan—he could complete the Leaf's famed Kekkei Genkai trio.

Before Tsunade could respond, several massive wooden dragons slammed toward their position.

Wood Release: Wooden Dragon Technique!

Boom—!

Amidst the towering dust, the four Kage scattered in all directions.

Why only four Kage?

The acting Kazekage, Chiyo, had already suffered heavy injuries from the Wooden Dragon Technique and lost combat capability.

At that moment, a clamor arose.

It was the Allied Shinobi Forces—though terrified, they couldn't stand by and watch their Kage being beaten.

Yet before they could approach the forest, a cyan-red spear slashed across the sky and landed before their formation.

With a deafening explosion, cyan-red energy instantly consumed everything around, and the surging air currents lifted endless clouds of dust.

"Whoever comes closer, dies."

A cold voice echoed across the battlefield.

At this moment, pained cries filled the ears of the Allied Shinobi Forces; seeing their comrades lying dead or suffering heavy injuries, they instinctively halted their advance.

Seeing this, the four surviving Kage all shouted: "Don't come closer!"

Without doubt, they realized the Akatsuki member's target was them.

Watching the cyan-red giant slowly advancing toward them, Onoki floated behind A: "Raikage boy, you might have to step up now."

Saying this, the potato-like old man pressed his palms against A's back.

A felt his body suddenly grow lighter, and he grinned fiercely: "Thanks, Tsuchikage old man."

As he spoke, the Raikage's hair stood up like steel needles, and his body erupted once more with terrifying lightning-chakra.

Earth Release: Ultra-Light Heavy Rock Technique + Supreme Lightning Release Armor!

This was a unique combination technique exclusive to two Kage!

The next instant, A became a blur and charged toward the position of the cyan-red giant.

"Arrogant brat, die!"

Faster than his voice was his speed.

Before A's voice reached Li Ang's ears, he was already standing before him.

Seeing the youth enveloped by the cyan-red giant, A's face twisted into a bloodthirsty smile.

Amid the howling wind, a fist brimming with terrifying power slammed into the Susano'o.

The punch's shockwave scattered, forcing the surrounding trees to bow their heads.

Witnessing this, everyone widened their eyes in desperate hope.

Come on! Brown-skinned middle-aged man!

Yet the next instant, all present froze.

A, who had never witnessed the Third Power, had overestimated his own strength.

Li Ang looked at the Lei Yingai before him, his face filled with shock, and tilted his head slightly: "Tear apart Gao Da with your bare hands? Interesting."

Before A could grasp what Gao Da meant, a chill swept through his entire body.

The next instant, the cyan-red spear smashed him deep into the ground.

Boom—

Beneath the terrifying force, the earth was torn open, a wound slicing through the forest all the way to the front of the Ninja Alliance's formation.

They stared at the cyan-red giant, unrestrainedly unleashing violence, and fell into stunned silence.

At this moment, no one was thinking of how to defeat him anymore—they only wanted to survive, to live beneath a power that should not exist in this world.

"Cough ha ha"

At that moment, a weak voice emerged from the swirling dust.

It was Lei Yingai—he had survived Li Ang's full-force strike from the Susano'o.

Though not by much.

"Kid—"

Hiss—

The cyan-red spear plunged into the ground, abruptly cutting off A's voice.

"Noisy."

For Li Ang, everyone else present today could live—except Lei Yingai.

It wasn't personal; it was tied to his future plans.

Li Ang manipulated the Susano'o to withdraw the spear, and the mangled, unrecognizable form of A appeared before the two surviving Kage.

As for Da Ye Mu—

The Tsuchikage, caught in the residual shock, had fallen into unconsciousness.

Seeing this, Tsunade and Terumi Mei bit their lips tightly.

How long had they fought? They had already lost one Kage—and this was even though the opponent had not launched a direct attack.

In silence, the atmosphere grew colder, the threat of death choking every throat.

Meanwhile, as Li Ang confronted the Five Kage and the Ninja Alliance, Changmen's controlled Pain Six Paths faced Jiraiya.

Unfortunately, before they could determine a victor, the battle on the other side had already drawn to a close.

"Minato… no, you're Changmen, aren't you?" Jiraiya stood battered atop the Toad Sage's head, staring at the six cold-faced figures before him. "What exactly do you intend to do?"

Before Changmen could answer, Li Ang's voice echoed across the entire battlefield.

"Starting today, the Land of Rain officially replaces the Land of Lightning as one of the Five Great Nations."

"All ninja villages must surrender all Tailed Beasts to our Akatsuki Organization for safekeeping. From now on, all world conflicts will be judged by us."

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"

As his words faded, the entire battlefield fell into deathly silence.
