Chapter 195: The Particle Dismantling Jutsu
"Composite Ninjutsu: Earth Dragon Flame Style!"
Hiruzen had just unleashed a combined jutsu, dispersing a group of Iwagakure ninjas, when scouts from the Hyuga clan received unfortunate news. Just as they were about to annihilate the bulk of Iwagakure, Onoki unexpectedly arrived to rescue them.
"Fire Battalion, follow me to intercept them," Hiruzen ordered, personally leading three hundred soldiers. However, before they could surround the perimeter, Onoki, using the Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu, quickly arrived.
A gentleman never stands under a precarious wall. Sasuke and Shirotaka had already fled to the other side, far from the main battlefield. He considered himself a master at crushing the weak, but against Onoki, he feared he wouldn't last a single assault before being reduced to dust.
Upon arriving, Onoki unleashed an extremely powerful Earth Style escape technique. "Earth Style: Mountain Earth Jutsu!"
Instantly, two enormous earthen hemispheres surrounded the Five-Tails Beast, immobilizing it. Sasuke, seeing this, used a subsonic shockwave in the hope of interrupting the jutsu, but found it surprisingly ineffective; it was like a stone sinking into the ocean.
Konoha, unlike Sunagakure, did not possess a strong air force. Faced with Onoki, their air power could only provide harassment. Of course, they were not completely devoid of anti-aircraft defenses.
Hiruzen suddenly extended his staff, the Monkey King Enma, and launched it at the towering Onoki. He, seeing the attack, abandoned his technique and dodged. "Earth Style: Super-Heavy Rock Technique!" he shouted, and delivered a powerful blow to the staff. The airwaves exploded, deafening the ninjas below.
While the staff prepared for a second attack, Onoki extended his arms, preparing his own jutsu. The staff quickly shortened, narrowly dodging the cube-shaped Dust Style: Particle Dismantling Jutsu and landing next to Hiruzen, who had already summoned a huge shuriken.
"Giant Body Shuriken Jutsu!"
The shuriken transformed into dozens of blades, launching towards Onoki, who unleashed another Dust Style to defend himself. After the attack, both stopped, in a stalemate. Hiruzen's tactical objective was simple: he didn't need to defeat Onoki, just contain him.
Just as the remnants of Iwagakure were about to collapse, two hundred of their jonin finally arrived.
"Earth Style: Rock Golem Jutsu!"
A giant rock monster appeared, halting Iwa's decline. Standing on it was Onoki's son, Kitsuchi. Meanwhile, before the Five-Tails could break free, a burly man with a yellow scarf, Akatsuchi, led a large group of jonin to reinforce Onoki's jutsu.
Sasuke directed his spore clones to destroy the creature, but they were perceived by Akatsuchi, who crushed them before they could emerge. The Five-Tails quickly shrank, returning to its human form.
"Retreat!" Onoki finally ordered, seeing that the Five-Tails had recovered. He and the reinforcements stayed behind, covering the retreat of the remaining ninjas. Hiruzen, in turn, unleashed his power, releasing four clones and a series of composite ninjutsus to attack the fleeing ones.
