"Captain, we need to act now! If we don't, our men will be wiped out!" one of the Iwagakure Jonin shouted while dodging the raging forest.
"Alright! Everyone attack together and interrupt their Ninjutsu!" the lead Iwa Ninja immediately agreed and quickly began forming hand seals alongside the other Jonin.
"Earth Release: Rock Bullet Technique!"
The group of Jonin spat out massive stone bullets toward Isamu and Senba.
"Rise!"
Isamu and Senba simultaneously manipulated the surrounding trees, instantly raising a thick wooden wall in front of them that blocked most of the incoming attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three violent explosions suddenly erupted.
A large hole was instantly blasted through the sturdy wooden wall.
"Nani?! It broke through that quickly? Explosion Release Ninjas from Iwagakure?" Isamu narrowed his eyes in surprise. Through the opening, he quickly spotted two Iwa Ninjas using the rare Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai.
The remaining attacks immediately surged through the breach.
Seeing this, Isamu and Senba had no choice but to stop using Deep Forest Emergence and leap away in opposite directions to dodge.
"Jonin-level Ninjas, pin down the enemy Jonin! Everyone else, attack with everything you've got! All troops, charge!" Isamu immediately gave the order after landing.
"The two lords already gave us the advantage! Brothers, charge!"
"Kill them!"
"I'm not afraid! Watch me slaughter these Iwa bastards!"
The Konoha Ninjas roared as they brandished Kunai and longswords, charging toward the Iwagakure forces.
"Damn it! Men of Iwagakure, don't let the Konoha Ninjas look down on us! Show them the Will of Stone! Slaughter the enemy!"
"Slaughter them!"
"Kill!"
The Iwa Ninjas roared back and charged forward without hesitation.
Watching the Konoha forces rush past him, Isamu immediately circulated Lightning Release Chakra through his body, stimulating his cells to push his speed to the limit.
"Lightning Release: Chidori!"
Lightning crackled wildly around his right hand, sounding like a thousand birds chirping at once.
At the same time, Isamu activated his imitation Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Boom!
With one explosive step, his speed instantly reached an astonishing level.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared at the very front of the Konoha troops.
The threat posed by Explosion Release users in large-scale warfare was simply too dangerous. He had to eliminate them first.
"So fast! No, I have to keep up with Father!" Senba was shocked by Isamu's terrifying speed and immediately burst forward to catch up.
"You dare charge at us? Isamu, you're courting death!" One of the Explosion Release Jonin sneered and immediately formed hand seals.
"Explosion Release: Rock Explosion Technique!"
A massive stone infused with explosive Chakra flew straight toward Isamu.
Seeing the half-meter-wide explosive rock hurtling toward him, Isamu calmly raised his Chidori-covered hand.
"Heh, trying to take my Explosion Release head-on? You're dead!" The Explosion Release Ninja burst into laughter. Even the Tsuchikage wouldn't casually block one of his attacks directly.
But reality immediately shattered his expectations.
The moment Isamu's Chidori touched the explosive rock—
Crack!
The stone shattered apart instantly like an ordinary boulder.
There was no explosion at all.
"Huh?! How is that possible?!" The Explosion Release Ninja's eyes widened in shock.
But before he could react—
Flash!
Isamu suddenly appeared directly in front of him.
The lightning-covered hand pierced straight through his chest and heart.
"You celebrated too early," Isamu said with a smirk.
He ripped his arm free in one motion and immediately turned toward the second Explosion Release Ninja.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
The lightning blade in his hand instantly extended outward like a spear.
Slash!
With a single swing, the second Explosion Release Ninja's head flew into the air.
Thus, in barely a single exchange, both Explosion Release Jonin were instantly killed by Isamu's overwhelming speed.
In truth, this outcome was completely normal for him.
With his combat experience, understanding of Ninjutsu, and Kage-level strength, killing two Explosion Release Jonin who were naturally countered by Lightning Release wasn't difficult at all.
Of course, this was also thanks to the information from Deidara in the original story. Otherwise, Isamu wouldn't have known that Lightning Release perfectly countered Explosion Release.
"So strong! Father instantly killed two Jonin!" Seeing Isamu effortlessly slaughter the two Explosion Release users, Senba felt both excited and shocked.
At that moment, it felt as though the invincible father he admired had truly returned.
"AHHHH! Isamu! You're courting death!" Seeing his longtime comrades instantly killed, the lead Iwagakure captain roared furiously and rapidly formed hand seals.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A massive earth dragon instantly formed and charged toward Isamu.
Seeing the attack coming, Isamu casually leaped away from its range.
With his current speed, dodging an A-rank Earth Dragon Bullet Technique was easy.
The Iwa captain quickly rushed over and grabbed the Explosion Release Ninja whose heart had been pierced.
"Speak! Hurry up and speak!"
He desperately shook his teammate's body, hoping he was still alive.
But a pierced heart meant certain death.
No answer ever came.
"AHHHH! NO! NOOO!" The captain roared in grief. It was obvious the two had been extremely close.
"You really can't keep your composure. As the lead captain, behaving like this won't do," Isamu said calmly from several meters away.
"Damn you… Uchiha…" The Iwa captain glared viciously at Isamu while clutching his teammate's corpse.
"Yo, yo, yo, I've always wanted to see that expression on your face—that jealous expression toward me! Hahahaha! Since you miss your teammate so much, I'll send you down to accompany him later. Hehehe…" Isamu grinned shamelessly, mocking him to the extreme.
"Hearing you say that… you seem pretty brave, huh?"
A cold voice suddenly came from behind Isamu.
"Of course I'm brave! I'm super brave! I'm amazing at fighting too—hm?"
Halfway through speaking, Isamu suddenly froze.
This was a battlefield.
Who the hell was casually chatting with him?
Isamu slowly turned around.
Behind him stood twelve furious Jonin glaring at him like wolves staring at prey.
"Everyone, what happened just now was just a misunderstanding. I can revive them, really! You have to believe me!" Isamu immediately raised his hands innocently, looking strangely guilty.
"We don't believe a single word!"
The group of Jonin instantly threw their Kunai at him.
"Wait, wait, wait! Let's talk this out! We can discuss this peacefully! Stop! STOP!"
While frantically waving his hands, Isamu immediately turned and ran.
Thus, a ridiculous scene appeared on the battlefield:
Isamu sprinted wildly in front while twelve enraged Jonin and the Iwa captain chased after him like madmen from behind.
