Chapter 70 Hiruzen Sarutobi, beaten beyond recognition
The enemy's shadow clones are everywhere, and the weakness of shadow clones is that they are not very resistant to damage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi rapidly formed hand seals, his chest bulging high: "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"
Wide-range wind-style ninjutsu is the perfect weapon to eliminate shadow clones.
Seeing this, Hashirama Senju's shadow clone could only retreat quickly.
However, four shadow clones attacked the nearby wall, causing it to break into several pieces.
Then, the two shadow clones, one in the south and one in the north, each lifted a large wall and smashed it down on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
This scene is like using a pair of large hands to swat away a flying mosquito, trying to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"boom......!"
The two walls collided, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's body retreated backward, avoiding the attack.
"Damn it, this enormous amount of chakra... and this kind of strength and speed... how could the Daimyo Prefecture have such a master?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi had a bitter look on his face. He bit his thumb, drawing blood and leaving a line on his palm, then slammed it to the ground.
"Spirit Summoning Technique: Monkey King - Monkey Demon"
The moment the white smoke exploded, a giant white ape over 2 meters tall appeared beside him, finally giving Hiruzen Sarutobi a sense of security.
"Hiruzen, this is...?" Enma's voice was full of vigilance.
"No time to explain! Transform into the Powerful Magic Staff!"
The Monkey King, Enma, spun around and transformed into a black club over 2 meters long, which flew into Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.
The Vajra Ruyi Cudgel kept extending, 20 meters... 40 meters... 60 meters... Hiruzen Sarutobi swept it forward with force, instantly knocking down more than a dozen houses in the middle.
Uchiha Mitsunori, who was watching the battle, calmly commented: "This move is good for demolition... but it's too slow for hitting people..."
Hashirama Senju's four shadow clones ran to nearby rooftops, picked up tiles, and kept throwing them at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Tiles rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine; the speed at which those tiles flew was comparable to that of cannonballs!
Many tiles, after being dodged by Hiruzen Sarutobi, struck the nearby walls, creating holes in them.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was as agile as a monkey, constantly shifting and moving, and using his Vajra Ruyi Cudgel to push away the flying tiles.
But prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat, especially when it's four against one.
Just as his defenses were about to be breached, Hiruzen Sarutobi threw his Vajra Staff into the air and shouted, "Sarutobi, Vajra Prison Wall!"
In an instant, the Vajra Ruyi Staff split into dozens of Vajra Ruyi Staffs, forming a wall that protected Hiruzen Sarutobi within!
As expected of its indestructible body, dozens of flying tiles struck the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel, producing a crisp sound like raindrops hitting banana leaves. Fragments scattered all over the ground, but it did not harm the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel in the slightest.
"Who...who are you...?" Hiruzen Sarutobi gasped for breath, his face flushed red from lack of oxygen.
Upon seeing this, Hashirama Senju's shadow clones immediately changed tactics.
Two of the shadow clone warriors suddenly rushed towards the outer edge of the Vajra Staff's defensive circle.
They raised their right fists high and slammed both fists into the ground at the same time!
"Boom... Boom"
A terrifying force instantly traveled to the ground, causing the ground within a ten-meter radius to tremble violently.
The stone slab beneath Hiruzen Sarutobi's feet suddenly collapsed, and he plummeted downwards along with the sunken ground!
"elongation!"
In the critical moment, a Vajra Ruyi Cudgel rapidly extended and plunged deep into the ground in the distance, where the ground had not yet collapsed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed on tightly and pulled himself out of the pit at the last second.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly from exerting too much force.
The remaining two shadow clone warriors each held a stone lion weighing several tons in their left and right hands. They spun around and hurled the stone lions at the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel in the air!
Just then, before Hiruzen Sarutobi could catch his breath, a sudden whooshing sound came from the air!
"boom!"
The first stone lion slammed down hard onto the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel, the terrifying impact causing the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel to bend slightly!
"Boom... Boom... Boom!"
The second, third, and fourth stone lions arrived one after another. The Vajra Ruyi Staff trembled for a moment, and finally disappeared in a puff of smoke!
Hiruzen Sarutobi fell from the sky, but after somersaulting in the air, he landed steadily on the ground.
He continued breathing heavily, cold sweat dripping from his forehead: "Perhaps...we can talk...!"
However, it was of no use.
Hashirama Senju's two shadow clones used the Body Flicker Technique to get close, sometimes striking Hiruzen Sarutobi's left cheek, sometimes his right.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was quickly beaten beyond recognition.
Watching the two fight, Uchiha Mitsumine took a deep breath: "That's too brutal. Hashirama can calm down now."
Tonight, he finally witnessed the most authentic fighting style of the Warring States period.
There are no rules, no bottom lines. Use everything at your disposal to kill the enemy. There are no superfluous actions, only survival and death.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi was defeated, the Sarutobi clan's resistance gradually faded away.
A large number of shadow clones began to gather, and bags of cash were counted, totaling 391.4 billion taels, which was 17.8 billion taels more than what they had embezzled.
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi's 11 taels of gold and 159 taels of silver did not escape his clutches this time and were all taken by the Uchiha Mitsurugi.
After securing the last sealing scroll, Uchiha Mitsumine said softly, "We should go!"
Hashirama Senju nodded, and the two of them quickly disappeared without a sound.
But the entire Daimyo Prefecture was in an uproar, because the Sarutobi clan was the last clan to be killed, so Hashirama Senju did not use the silence barrier.
The aftermath of the battle at Sarutobi's residence quickly attracted a large crowd.
As more information came to light, everyone in the Daimyo's prefecture learned that the four ninja clans recently recruited by the Daimyo had been robbed by two men dressed as samurai.
What does this mean? The power that a daimyo relies on is insignificant in the face of a true strongman.
The people of Daming Prefecture were abuzz with discussion about this matter.
Inside the study, the Fire Country daimyo smashed his most beloved teacup: "Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
The lord's roar echoed throughout the room.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained unfazed, but the other three clan leaders were so humiliated that they dared not raise their heads.
"Four ninja clans, over three thousand people, were utterly defeated by just two people. What use are you to me!"
Upon hearing this, the newly appointed clan chiefs, Utatane, Mito, and Shimura, trembled with fear.
Seeing the three of them cowering like quails, the daimyo sneered: "Ninjas who can't even protect themselves aren't worth my high price to support. Cut the stipends of the four clans in half."
Since it concerned his own interests, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to stand up.
He said in a deep voice, "I have fought against the enemy. They are incredibly strong. A tile they throw can punch a huge hole in a wall, and they can throw a stone lion weighing several tons seventy or eighty meters with one hand. And the enemy can create 1000 of these kinds of enemies, so we lost."
After listening, Daimyo finally had some idea of the strength of the two mysterious people.
