Both Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage felt suffocated like never before at this time.

How to defeat an enemy who can take away other people's souls at any time and has immortality?

No one can tell the two of them this answer.

There is no more Hashirama's magic.

This means that their attacks are almost ineffective against Shiraishi.

Physical skills alone cannot kill this 'monster'.

Yes, it's a monster.

In their eyes, Shiraishi was now equated with a 'monster'.

In any case, it is difficult to call the other party a human being.

Not only the soul, but also the body is inhuman.

"Don't give up, Naruto! If we all give up, everything will be over!"

The Fourth Raikage bit his tongue, biting out blood, freeing himself from despair and fear, and moving forward towards the unknown and the extremely slim hope.

The chakra is still there, and the fighting spirit is still there, so the battle is not over yet.

He can still fight.

Even though he knew he was going to die, he couldn't accept surrender.

Rather than that, it would be better to sacrifice oneself in a fight to the death and live up to one's status as Raikage.

The others can surrender, but not the Five Shadows.

As long as the Five Shadows do not surrender, the power of resistance will always exist.

What Shadow bears is definitely not an individual's fate, but the fate of an entire village.

"Aren't you going to give up?"

Tsunade looked at the desolate world and Shiraishi, who was calm and composed, as if everything was under control, and smiled bitterly.

Facing this guy, do they really have a chance?

At this moment, she thought of many things.

All the 'chess pieces' exploring the path have had their souls swallowed by the white stone.

The next battle is a real battle of life and death.

No more trial and error options.

One wrong step and your soul will be taken away.

but--

Quietly he clenched his fists.

The cooling heartbeat began to beat fiercely.

His eyes, which were originally lifeless, also shone with a fiery fighting spirit.

That is the willpower to not admit defeat.

Yes, as Raikage said, if even they give up, the Alliance Army will be completely finished.

The same goes for the village behind them.

"You are right, Raikage, now is not the time to despair! Even if there are only two of us, we cannot be underestimated! Come on!"

"I think so too!"

The Fourth Raikage stepped on the ground and charged forward, and in an instant, the air flew away.

A roaring sound like fire came out of his mouth.

He seemed to be using this loud venting method to completely crush the despair in his heart.

With the awareness of mortality, he sprinted forward, wanting to fight Shiraishi until the last moment.

The two feet that stepped out, through the infusion of chakra, generated a force that could easily crush the hard ground.

However, in Shiraishi's view, this kind of charging with the belief of death is nothing more than a death struggle.

After all, after such a long period of fermentation, the bodies of Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage have actually become weak.

The rule of the Pure Land is that no living person is allowed to set foot there.

Except for Shiraishi, the contractor, the two of them consume chakra every moment to offset the erosion of the power of the Pure Land.

In addition, their ninjutsu requires a large amount of chakra, and no matter how much chakra they have, it is not enough to waste.

What's more, before they were drawn into the Pure Land, they consumed a lot of chakra on the battlefield.

Even the Fourth Raikage, who possesses tailed beast level chakra, can't bear such a reduction in chakra.

The seemingly fierce sprint, not only the speed, but also the strength, seemed to have small flaws.

Shiraishi didn't make a move, but a figure suddenly emerged from behind and faced the Fourth Raikage.

It was a twisted, amorphous slime humanoid.

The one who fought in Shiraishi's place was his Earth clone, General Earth.

Although most of the time it is used by Shiraishi as a scout and courier, the Earth General is based on Yin Yang escape and integrated into the senjutsu system, and his frontal combat capability is not weak.

Especially in its unique geographical environment like 'the earth', its abilities will be greatly improved.

The Fourth Raikage, who was blocked in the road, didn't think much. He re-dressed in the Thunder Armor, and fierce lightning burst out from his body. On his fist, there was also a brilliant thunder and lightning, and he punched out.

The general who was hit directly had a big hole in his chest, and he directly saw the wilderness scene on the opposite side. He was punched through the body by the Fourth Raikage.

The soft mud flew everywhere, and it was everywhere.

But the general seemed to be fine, and didn't even feel any pain. He just twisted his arms, clenched them into fists, turned into countless fist shadows, and struck the Fourth Raikage's body crazily and continuously.

The wind of the fist was mixed with a sharp whistling aura, and the impact of each punch was faster than the other. Without any surprise, they all landed on the Fourth Raikage's body, stopping his ferocious attack and being unable to penetrate the defense of General Kaito.

lock up.

There were no signs of cracks on the Lei Dun armor, but it made a fierce sound of the collision of hard objects, impacting the already overwhelmed internal organs in his body.

A mouthful of blood flowed from the mouth of the Fourth Raikage.

The injuries caused by the previous explosion seemed to have worsened.

No matter how hard you polish your body and internal organs, as a human being, your flesh and blood body has its limits.

What's more, after a long period of chakra consumption, the defensive power of his Thunder Armor is no longer as good as it was in its heyday.

"You are so arrogant!"

The Fourth Raikage shouted loudly, and a large amount of chakra suddenly gathered in his left arm and was compressed. Lightning burst out, and he bent his elbow to strike quickly.

"Heavy flow storm!"

The local general who did not react in time had his head exploded.

The brain, which was completely made of soil, was scattered around like the chest that had been smashed before.

The beating stopped, and the clay sculpture's body completely collapsed and flowed rapidly along the ground, sucking in all the scattered soil.

Then, not far from the Fourth Raikage, he twisted again and returned to his human form.

There is a dark hollow without eyeballs, with dark yellow light shining inside, like two stoves.

While twisting its body, it continued to move closer to the Fourth Raikage.

I saw its mouth suddenly open, and metal balls rolled out from it, shining with the unique luster of metal.

When the Fourth Raikage saw these metal balls, he immediately shrank, his arms and legs shrank, and he defended himself in front of him.

Subsequently, the detonated fire swept across the battle area, completely swallowing the bodies of the Fourth Raikage and the Earth General.

The sunken land and flying thick dust once again made the area smoky.

The Fourth Raikage's body rolled out.

Although the Thunder Dun Armor perfectly protected against the explosion of the bomb, the shock and impact it carried made his injured internal organs worse.

He got up from the ground and glared at the local general with his electric eyes.

The other person continued to twist his human-like soft clay body, like a dancer performing a burlesque show.

He held in his hand a series of metal ball bombs that had not been released.

His empty eyes stared at the Fourth Raikage expressionlessly.

"This bastard."

The Fourth Raikage's face twitched, as if he felt the contempt and disdain in the General's gaze.

"Then let's see if I fall first or if your bombs run out first!
