Chapter 77:

Akira glanced around and found that it was as Jiraiya had said. After the panic they had from the flood just now, the Iwa ninjas had gradually recovered from their panic and there were more and more of them rushing into the battlefield.

If this continues, the outcome will be hard to tell. That's why Jiraiya reminded Akira to retreat.

"Okay." Akira said faintly, then looked at Kitsuchi and said with some regret: "You are indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately time had run out and we can't continue our fight."

Kitsuchi is very strong and he also have trump cards that he had yet to use, so Akira was feeling a little regretful, not being able to test his strength against a equally as strong opponent.

The fight against the genius of his generation, Kitsuchi will make Akira realised his flaw so that he can get stronger.

"Humph." Kitsuchi snorted softly and he was also a little unwilling. Akira's lightning ninjutsu suppressed his earth ninjutsu and Akira himself is also proficient in ninjutsu and genjutsu, thus it has been a very tough fight for him.

In fact, Kitsuchi is definitely not inferior to Akira in terms of strength, but he has been suppressed by Akira, making him very unwilling and annoyed. He was still preparing to fight back, but Akira seemed to be retreating.

"Earth style, weighted boulder jutsu!" Kitsuchi was very unconvinced, he quickly formed hand seals and then shouted out loudly as he used the weighted boulder jutsu!

Weighted boulder jutsu is a very powerful earth ninjutsu and it is also Third Tsuchikage trademark ninjutsu. It can seen that Kitsuchi also learnt from his father and use this trademark jutsu.

There are many uses of weighted boulder jutsu. In the original story, Tsuchikage used this technique to petrify the surrounding enemies and turn them into rocks, which will then crumble apart. It can also be used to increase the target's gravity. Weighted boulder jutsu is one of the trump card Kitsuchi have that is very useful.

(Earth Style, weighted boulder jutsu: A technique which enhances the targets gravity at the user's discretion. The enemy's mobility is diminished, as the person is crushed by gravity — and in some cases exhibit petrification-like symptoms and then began to crumble. When this technique is applied to the user it decreases their speed, but the increased weight drastically improves their strength. This method makes it possible for even a weak person to land a devastating hit.)

The surrounding around Kitsuchi turned into a lot of rocks as they crack from the ground and at the same time, the rocks were shot rapidly towards Akira.

When this ninjutsu was about to hit Akira's body, Akira's body suddenly turned into flocks of crows and dissipated.

This is the crow clone jutsu that Akira has already prepared!

"It's another genjutsu..." Kitsuchi shook his head, thinking Akira is too hard to hit. Akira had probably already used the crow clone jutsu when he released the bringer of darkness jutsu long ago to prevent any mishap. As a result, he had failed to attack Akira's main body and hit Akira's crow clone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Akira's body instantly retreated elegantly, moving tens of meters away from the battlefield in a flash.

The Konoha ninjas such as Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, etc also retreated quickly and arrived beside Akira as they prepared to retreat from the battlefield

"Akira, you are winning against Kitsuchi!." Tsunade said with a hint of surprised in her eyes as she looked at the blood spilling from the corner of Kitsuchi mouth.

Akira had the advantage througout the battle against Kitsuchi and from the current situation, it seem like Akirs's is going to win. Therefore Tsunade was surprised as she didn't expect Akira to be on the advantage so easily.

Tsunade had also heard of Kitsuchi fame. He is definitely an outstanding junior, but he is losing againdt Akira. Tsunade was speechless as the strength of her own student is improving and getting stronger so rapidly.

Furthermore the golden lightning ninjutsu he used just now was also very mysterious yet powerful...

"Let's retreat quickly and get out of here!" Orochimaru's voice came and his figure moved, at the same time his chakra surged while he hand sealed: "Summoning Jutsu, Triple Rashomons!"

Triple Rashomons!

Three huge gates about ten meters high rise from the ground. The gates were carved with patterns of Shura, Rakshasa and Evil spirits looking both majestic and terrifying.

In myths and legends, Rashomon is a mysterious door, which leads to life and death and is extremely strong. There are many images symbolizing death on the door. Orochimaru summoning the triple rashomons was to use the rashomons to block and delay Iwa ninjas attack.

With rashomon's obstruction, Akira and others were finally able to retreat calmly.

Akira and the others ran with all their strength as they retreated from the battle, while getting rid of Iwa's pursued on the road.

Under the leadership of Shirotsuchi and Kitsuchi, Iwa ninjas began to hunt them down, but was gradually thrown off by Akira and others and they finally had to give up and retreat with grief.

After this battle, Iwa's camp was almost completely destroyed by the flood. In addition, without food and supplies, they did not dare to continue with the war, only focusing on defense, so they did not dare to send a large number of people to chase Akira.

Two days later, Akira and the others, who had been on their way back, finally returned back to Konoha's base.

In Konoha's base, Akira ate some dry food to restore his strength and then carefully recalled the battle with Kitsuchi, which he also benefited a lot from. He carefully considered every detail of the battle so he can improve and strengthen himself from those he lack.

"Boy, you have grown a lot, your current strength has surpassed the average elite jonin and you have begun to move towards the peak of jonin." Sage of the six path applauded.

When Akria gradually grasped the Yang nature transfomation, Akira's strength had already moved towards the peak of jonin.

"The speed of progress is okay." Akira said.

"What do you mean okay only? The speed of your progress is already amazing!" The sage said in an irritated tone. It is hard for others to make such progress in half a month, but this guy is not satisfied, and said It's okay? Isn't he too shameless!

Akira smiled without saying a word. (Akira aim is to become the strongest quickly)

In the camp, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya and others were all sitting together. Tsunade's beautiful face could not contain her excitement: "This time the plan was a great success. We had completely destroyed Iwa's camp, their food and other supplies are all also gone and from now on we will have the most advantage on the battlefield!"

"Well, thanks to Akira's strategy, we have such a success." Jiraiya also nodded while applauding.

"It's just good luck, but Iwa's ninja reacted very well and we couldn't do any more damage. It's a shame we didn't have the opportunity to steal their loot while attacking their camp ." Akira said lightly.

"Haha nice, you still want to steal their loot. It is beyond my expectation that you can fight Kitsuchi while being on the win!" Tsunade patted Akira on the shoulder and sighed lightly.

Everyone nodded their heads, their eyes were a filled with amazement and a mix of other complicated feelings.

In this battle, Akira actually suppressed Iwa's strongest young genius Kitsuchi throughout the battle, which is really amazing.

"After this battle, Akira's name will definitely be more resounding and it will even shock the entire Ame battlefield!" Tsunade said with a smile.
