The wilderness is like the pure land of the wasteland world, and the sky above seems to be shrouded in an abyss-like darkness, endless, deep, and boundless.

"Damn it, Chakra——"

On the land of Pure Land, some areas were destroyed by the battle, making the land even more desolate.

Hiruzen, the third Hokage, felt that the chakra in his body was decreasing crazily as one ninjutsu after another was released, and he couldn't help but secretly grit his teeth.

As a result, the immortal body and infinite chakra reincarnated in the dirt have completely lost their use.

His strategy of using long-range ninjutsu and constantly kiting Shiraishi was also declared bankrupt.

Not only that, he looked in disbelief when he saw Bai Shi running leisurely in the sea of ​​​​fire he created.

He knew how powerful his fire escape was. Even the ninjas of the Uchiha clan could only compare with the top ones.

The temperature of the flames exceeds 1,500 degrees, and even steel will be melted.

But Shiraishi seemed to ignore the high-temperature impact of the flames and chose to sprint forward, approaching from the shortest distance.

Thinking back to before, Hashirama's wooden escape also collapsed in an instant. Hiruzen vaguely seemed to have caught something, but also seemed not to have caught it.

"In this case……"

Hiruzen looked solemn and used the last remaining chakra to disperse four shadow clones.

The shadow clone and the main body form separate seals.

Shiraishi just glanced at it and continued to rush forward without even looking at it, as if he didn't intend to let go of the opportunity to pursue Hiruzen.

From the beginning to the end, he never paid attention to the opponent's ninjutsu.

The so-called ninjutsu, for him, is not as effective as direct taijutsu.

"Boring moves."

The steps under his feet accelerated, like an arrow piercing the sea of ​​fire.

"Five escapes·Dalian bombs!"

The jets that drew away a large amount of chakra, flames, thunder and lightning, rocks, storms, and floods instantly covered the world in front of them, merged together, and hit Shiraishi with an unstoppable trend.

With such a powerful blow, the ground of Pure Land was also severely damaged.

In Shiraishi's ears, he could even hear the loud voice of a certain consciousness that was seriously dissatisfied, as if urging him to end the battle quickly.

"Immortal Technique, Wood Release, All Bag Techniques!"

After Hiruzen used Five Escapes and Large Continuous Bullets, Hashirama quickly followed up.

A huge wooden hand burst out of the ground directly from Shiraishi's feet, and after Shiraishi jumped up, he grabbed it all at once.

"Um?"

Shiraishi felt the huge binding force in his palm, making it impossible for him to break free.

The jets of mixed chakra of five attributes were also constantly impacting him, but Shiraishi couldn't feel the pressure that was unimaginable to others and remained motionless.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed behind Bai Shi.

When those soul tentacles were unable to react, the bright silver sword light, like the sharp fangs of a beast, rushed forward.

Poof!

The white ‘fangs’ pierced through Bai Shi’s body.

Punctured from the heart.

Shiraishi's body and soul tentacles were stiff for a while.

"Great! Well done, Konoha White Fang!"

When the Fourth Raikage saw this scene, he was overjoyed and shouted out.

"Sorry, I seem to have troubled you."

Looking at the White Fang dagger that pierced through the heart of his disciple Shiraishi, Sakumo, who thought he was an assassin, showed a helpless smile.

The next second, when he was about to turn the White Fang dagger and completely break Shiraishi's heart, he was shocked to find that no matter how hard he tried, he could not turn the White Fang dagger, as if the blade and the body were welded together and out of his control.

.

Involuntarily, Sakumo's face changed with surprise.

He let go of the White Fang dagger and tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

Illusory shadows blocked the surrounding area, and the soul tentacles were like the tentacles of an octopus, rapidly contracting, strangling Sakumo's body, and their strength continued to increase, as if they were crushing all the bones in his body.

The coldness hit, and Sakumo's body froze, unable to move again under the strangulation of the soul tentacles.

"I thought the one I caught this time would be the Fourth Raikage, but I didn't expect it would be you, Sakumo-sensei."

Hearing the calm laughter of Shiraishi, who had his back turned to him, Sakumo's eyes were extremely complicated and pleased.

"I'm causing trouble for you..."

"No, at this level, it can't be called a trouble. Then, you can become a part of me for the time being. After the war is over, I will release your soul and return to the pure land."

Bai Shi tilted his head slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Really? In that case, just use my power..."

Sakumo sighed and gave up resistance.

The illusory spirit body was peeled off from the reincarnated body of the dirty earth and merged into Shiraishi's body.

The corpse of the unknown ninja at the root fell from mid-air, reducing the number of people again.

Click!

Shiraishi raised the knife and lowered it. The sharp chakra scalpel directly cut off the wooden palm that restrained him. It fell to the ground, with the White Fang dagger still inserted in his chest.

Swinging a soul tentacle, he wrapped it around the handle of White Fang's dagger and pulled out the dagger from behind.

He smiled brightly at Tsunade and the others, and walked forward leisurely.

Seeing the shock and disbelief on the faces of Tsunade and others, Shiraishi let out a gentle and gentle laugh:

"What are you surprised about? Don't you think that just with this level of injury, you can defeat me? If it was a few months ago, maybe there would be a chance. Now I, even myself

I don’t know what extent of injuries it would take to die.”

His rhetorical question left Tsunade and others at a loss.

Even Hashirama has developed a strong interest in Shiraishi's life structure.

You know, that knife didn't simply pierce Shiraishi's heart, but cut Shiraishi's heart in half.

This is not a trivial matter that can be brushed off with an injury of this magnitude.

"Tsuna... the ninja you trained... is very good at it..."

Hashirama was not stingy with his praise.

Even if his heart is split open, it will become difficult and he will die if he is not careful.

The opponent's vitality has probably become so tenacious that pure flesh and blood can no longer serve as the only carrier for the continuation of his life.

There is more than one carrier of his life.

Therefore, if you only attack flesh and blood, you may not be able to kill the opponent at all.

Is it related to the strength of the soul? Hashirama pondered this matter.

If that's really the case, destroying the other person's body might not help.

Tsunade didn't want to respond to Hashirama's compliments at all, but just took a deep breath.

immortal!

This was the only thing she could think of.

Advanced medical ninjas do have powerful self-healing abilities, such as her and Hashirama. She is not surprised that Shiraishi can do this.

However, even if the heart is cut open, it can still recover as if nothing happened. This is no longer the scope of medical ninjutsu.

Hiruzen and the Fourth Raikage also guessed this. If they are touched by the opponent's soul tentacles, they will die. If they are pierced through the heart, they will not die. Do they have to cut off the opponent's head?

Or...even if you chop off the opponent's head, you can't kill him at all?

And if you want to try, you must sacrifice your life.

Because if you want to chop off the opponent's head, you have to get close to him.

Being close to someone means that they will be entangled in the other person's soul tentacles and have their soul taken away.

The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth and stared at Shiraishi with fierce eyes. The hair on his head stood upright under the stimulation of thunder and lightning. The burst of chakra was really amazing, even overwhelming Shiraishi, but his body

To the point of trembling and fear, not daring to act rashly.

He didn't know if Shiraishi would die if his head was chopped off, but it was worth a try.

But what if it fails?

There is no chance to come back if you fail.
