Chapter 273 One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.

The Land of Grass.

In the dense forest, Taiichi stealthily approached a Hidden Stone Village squad. The vast difference in strength prevented the squad from detecting Taiichi's presence.

When the squad approached within 10 meters of Taiyi, Taiyi suddenly burst forth, instantly passing through the squad. Along the way, he simply slashed with his short sword, slicing through their necks before they could react.

With his strength at this level, Chunin are no different from ordinary people in front of Taiichi. If there are no Jonin to restrain him, then no matter how many Chunin there are, they will not pose much of a threat to him.

After dealing with this group of ninjas, Taichi didn't waste any time. He flicked his short sword, shaking off the bloodstains on it, and then disappeared into the dense forest. In his chakra perception, there was more than just this one Iwagakure squad.

Silently, one reconnaissance team after another was wiped out by Taiyi. When the sixth team died at Taiyi's hands, Iwagakure finally realized something was wrong.

A scarlet flare exploded in the sky, strikingly visible even in daylight.

The two Iwagakure squads, which were still wandering in Taiichi's perception, quickly retreated the moment the signal flare exploded, and soon escaped Taiichi's perception range.

Taiichi wasn't in a hurry. Since the Iwa ninja had already discovered the clues, he stopped chasing after those small fry.

He arrived at the only route the Iwagakure army would take, and buried many Flying Thunder God Kunai in some hidden places.

Then they flew directly into the sky, hiding above the clouds and waiting for the arrival of the Hidden Rocks.

About ten minutes later, the main force of Iwagakure finally appeared in Taiichi's field of vision. Compared with the ninjas from other villages, the Iwagakure troops were obviously more like an army.

Even during their march, they maintained a neat formation, with vanguard, flanks, center, and rearguard all present, truly befitting their reputation as the most formidable ninja village in military campaigns among the five great ninja villages.

When the group arrived at the location Taiyi had designated, he folded his wings and plummeted downwards in a diving motion, simultaneously forming hand seals and mobilizing a large amount of chakra.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.

The bright golden flames, amplified by the speed, hurtled like a meteor shower, crashing directly into the center of the unsuspecting Iwagakure troops below.

A full third of the Iwagakure ninjas were engulfed by this ninjutsu. Those ninjas who didn't react in time were instantly engulfed by the flames and burned to death in less than two breaths.

Those who reacted quickly and were strong either dodged or burrowed underground. Some of the more powerful ones even used water escape techniques to submerge themselves, and also saved a few unlucky souls who couldn't dodge in time.

With just one ninjutsu, Iwagakure suffered two hundred casualties. Commander Higashi Shijin, who was at the rear, witnessed this scene and his eyes immediately turned red. However, he suppressed his anger, maintained his rationality, and gave orders to his troops.

"Water Release ninja, extinguish the fire! Earth Release ninja, use Rock Cannon to crossfire on the aerial target!"

Immediately, forty or fifty ninjas who knew how to use water-style techniques spewed water jets into the sea of ​​fire.

At the same time, a large number of Earth Release ninjas launched rock projectiles into the sky. These rock projectiles were not launched randomly; they formed a net that enveloped Taiyi, blocking all his evasive maneuvers and leaving him with no choice but to withstand the attacks.

However, Taiyi was prepared for this. Just as the rock projectile was about to hit him, his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were already in the right wing of Iwagakure.

He drew his short sword and unleashed a circular slash, the bright golden flames of the sword slashing out in all directions in a 360-degree arc.

Instantly, another wave of dead and wounded ensued.

Before his opponent could react, his figure vanished again, this time reappearing at the front of the Iwagakure camp.

The same operation, the same Flame Slash, but this time the effect wasn't as good as last time. Except for a few unlucky ones who didn't react in time, the other Iwa ninjas dodged it.

After all, such a wide-range attack has a long wind-up, and it is easy to dodge unless it is done unexpectedly.

Having succeeded in two sneak attacks, Iwagakure is now on guard. Taiichi, who is in the enemy's formation, does not want to fight Iwagakure to the death. He stops attacking and uses Flying Thunder God Technique to leave Iwagakure's ranks, appearing at the forefront of the main force, away from Iwagakure's attack range.

The chaotic Iwagakure ninja quickly spotted Taiichi ahead. Several Iwagakure ninja, blinded by rage, charged straight at Taiichi, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.

However, all they received were a few slashes, a few Phoenix Flames, and a Flying Thunder God retreat from a greater distance. In the end, all that remained were a few mutilated corpses left behind.

"No pursuit! Form ranks!"

A roar amplified by ninjutsu echoed throughout the entire Iwagakure unit. After a moment of stunned silence, all the Iwagakure ninjas reluctantly and quickly regrouped, though this time their ranks appeared even more scattered.

As the Iwagakure ninja ceased their attack and regrouped, Taichi slowly approached them.

He held a knife in one hand, the blade pointing diagonally at the ground. Facing the massive Iwagakure army, he remained fearless. Reflected in the surrounding flames and howling winds, he exuded an aura of invincibility, as if he were a one-man army that could hold off ten thousand.

At this moment, Higashi Shijin, the commander of Iwagakure, along with several Jonin, arrived at the front of the group, and Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, was also among them.

Dongsi looked around and, finding no other Konoha ninja nearby, shouted, "Matsushita Taichi, do you think you can stop Iwagakure's advance all by yourself?"

Taiyi brandished his short sword, gestured around, and said with considerable disdain, "Isn't it obvious?"

"You were just taking advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack. Now that my army is in position, try to break in again if you dare!" Dong Siren retorted loudly, showing no weakness.

Without waiting for Taiyi's reply, he waved his hand forward, and the entire Iwagakure unit marched forward in unison. Their unified momentum was indeed something that Taiyi alone could not withstand.

However, Taiyi was not discouraged. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips, which was exactly the effect he wanted.

Given Iwagakure's actions, how fast can you expect them to be? Trying to catch up with Konoha's forces is out of the question.

And so, the Iwagakure troops advanced step by step, while Taiichi slowly retreated. Whenever the Iwagakure troops sped up, the formation would become uncoordinated. At that moment, Taiichi would charge in and fight. He didn't seek to kill the enemy; he just wanted to intimidate them enough.

After a stalemate of half an hour, Iwagakure discovered Taichi's sinister intentions. This move was undeniably cunning, as Matsushita Taichi alone managed to hold off the entire Iwagakure force.

"Sir, what should we do? At this rate, we won't be able to catch up with Konoha's main force."

Higashi glanced at the Jonin who had spoken, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. He wasn't blind, and he naturally understood the current situation.

He glanced at the tall man beside him and couldn't help but say, "Han, why don't you go and lure him away? I'll arrange for four Jonin to go with you. That way, we can ensure your safety."

Han knew he was in trouble when he saw the dead man from the east looking at him, but he was relieved to hear that four Jonin were being sent to accompany him.

For some reason, ever since he met Taiyi last night, he felt an instinctive fear upon seeing him again, as if he had encountered his nemesis.

Han didn't know that this was actually the influence of the Five-Tails, Kokuo, on him. Kokuo could sense that if he fought alone, he would definitely die at Taiichi's hands. This fear affected Han, who was a Jinchūriki.

"Alright, with four Jonin present, we can ensure everything goes smoothly."

Thus, under the arrangement of Dong Siren, four Jonin accompanied Han out of the Iwagakure army.

Without further ado, the group charged towards Taiyi, with Han immediately donning the Tailed Beast Cloak.

While Han and his group charged out, the Hidden Rocks behind them were not idle either. They quickly split into four large groups and marched rapidly, avoiding the areas where Han and his group were fighting.

This is because they have a large number of people, while Taiyi is only one person. Even if they are divided into four groups, they are still not someone Taiyi can underestimate.

With Han and others also holding them back, Taiyi seemed to be truly blocked.

Looking at the Han who was fighting him, and sensing the Iwagakure ninjas scattering in all directions, Taiichi knew that he couldn't leave for the time being, but that didn't mean he had no way out.

Before he could even form a seal, four shadow clones appeared, and Taiichi distributed all his chakra among them.

Although Taiyi's chakra was completely depleted in the Yin Seal, he still had attribute points. By consuming one attribute point, his chakra was instantly replenished.

Meanwhile, the four shadow clones had already fled at lightning speed, chasing after the scattered Iwagakure troops.

Han and the four Jonin tried to stop them, but they were stopped by a golden chain as soon as they made a move.

The chains, like agile pythons, skillfully evaded the Iwa ninja's parries and were about to coil around their bodies.

However, the Iwa ninja were not stupid. They would not let Taiichi succeed with such an obvious intention, and they either dodged or blocked with ninjutsu.

In his mental space, King Mu directly warned, "Han, whatever you do, do not let those chains touch you. They are sealing chains; once you get entangled in them, it will be very troublesome!"

Han was alarmed and immediately told the other four the information he had learned from King Mu. Upon hearing this, they became even more wary. How could Matsushita Taichi have so many tricks up his sleeve, one after another, each different?

Han is still very powerful, especially with the cooperation of other Jonin. Even Taiichi couldn't take him down quickly.

However, his purpose was never to fight these people. In his perception, his shadow clones had already blocked the scattered Iwagakure troops.

Although Taiichi's shadow clones are not as powerful as his main body, they are still not something that ordinary Jonin can easily deal with.

Especially when he wasn't thinking about fighting to the death, but was only using ninjutsu and Flying Thunder God Technique to slow down the Iwagakure army's march, the Iwagakure had even less of a way to deal with them.

The army-style ninjutsu that Iwagakure excels at can't hit the shadow clones that can retreat at any time. Once Iwagakure starts moving, the shadow clones will move forward. He doesn't need any powerful ninjutsu; he can just throw the Phoenix Flower Fire into the crowd.

Those bright golden flames, if they don't allow the Iwa ninja the slightest distraction, can cause anyone to melt in their flesh and bones, even with just a splash of damage.

This forced the Iwa ninja to devote a great deal of attention to dealing with Taiichi's sneak attack, which naturally slowed them down.

The shadow clones were delaying the main force of Iwagakure, but Taiichi's main body was not having an easy time either. Han had now partially transformed into a tailed beast, and his ferocious attacks never stopped.

The Five-Tails, Kokuou, used its signature Boil Release ninjutsu, throwing it at Taiichi every two or three seconds. Even Taiichi dared not touch the high-temperature steam.

Meanwhile, the four ninjas beside him, having become familiar with the attack rhythm of the Adamantine Sealing Technique, also took the opportunity to launch attacks on Taiichi from time to time.

Fireball, lightning, wind blade, water arrow.

Four different attacks continuously blocked Taiyi's movement space, and also made Taiyi experience the pain of being restrained.

He could have severed Han's shoulder with a single strike, but he had to turn his wrist to deflect two sharp wind blades that shot from the side.

The Fiery Dragon, which could have severely damaged Han, is now charging at the incoming Water Dragon.

The advantage of having more people than others is that you can fight against more people; this is exactly the situation described in the saying "two fists can't beat four hands".

Just as they were locked in a fierce battle, one memory after another flowed back into Taiichi's mind. It turned out that the shadow clones that had been blocking Iwagakure's advance had exhausted their chakra and dissipated on their own.

Calculating the time already delayed, it's been almost an hour. Considering the speed of Konoha's march and the speed of support from the border troops, Taiichi estimates that if he can hold on for another 3 hours, he can finish the job perfectly.

He instantly created distance, then performed the same operation, forming hand seals to summon shadow clones and consuming attribute points to replenish his chakra.

All the actions were performed in one go. By the time Han and the others realized what was happening and tried to stop them, the four shadow clones had already used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the original battlefield.

Not to mention how devastated the Iwagakure troops were when they saw "Taiichi," who had finally disappeared, reappear.

Taiyi's actions truly provoked Han and the four Jonin. He clearly didn't take them seriously, wasting a lot of chakra to delay the main force while fighting them.

It is said that even a clay figure has a temper, let alone a ninja who kills without blinking an eye. Han and the others reduced their defensive efforts while increasing the intensity of their attacks.

As for Nahan, he has now grown all five tails and is willing to endure the erosion of the tailed beasts in order to gain more power to attack Taiyi.

Although his size hadn't increased, each of his attacks still possessed overwhelming power. Combined with Boil Release: Super Strength, even Taiyi dared not let him touch him in the slightest.

Did you see those deep, huge craters on the ground? Those were all caused by Han's punches and kicks.

However, such attacks often only managed to hit the ground due to Taiichi's speed, while the ninjutsu of the four Jonin could occasionally cause Taiichi trouble.

And so, one hour, two hours, three hours passed, and Taiyi consumed another 3 attribute points in exchange for three more chances to have his status fully restored.

However, the Jonin of Iwagakure did not have enough chakra to help Taichi expend.

After Taiichi seized the opportunity to kill a Jonin due to insufficient chakra, Iwagakure promptly sent four more people to replace the original Jonin.

Only after Taiichi's shadow clones left behind by the main force dissipated and news came that they had rejoined the reinforcements did Taiichi disappear from the spot amidst the angry and helpless expressions of the Iwagakure.

"Is he really gone this time?"

The Iwagakure ninjas were driven to the brink of collapse by Taiichi. After four whole hours of entanglement, they couldn't understand where Taiichi got so much chakra. Could he also be a Jinchuriki?

"This time he's really gone." Dong Siren sensed his surroundings and could already detect Han rushing towards him from afar.

"Sir, should we continue pursuing the Konoha forces?"

The Eastern Dead Man glanced at the ninja who had spoken and said decisively, "Of course we must pursue them. Even if it's not to annihilate Konoha's main force, the Land of Grass is something we must retake."

.

That being said, looking at the troops whose morale had been shattered, Dong Siren sighed silently. This battle was going to be tough!
