Chapter 076: Amaterasu

Facing such a multitude of ninjas, Wang Bo showed no sign of panic.

Back then, the Third Raikage could battle the ninjas of the Land of Earth for three days and three nights, so naturally Wang Bo could do the same.

But in reality, a three-day battle was impossible.

Mainly because his current strength surpassed the Raikage's, and the ninjas surrounding him numbered no more than seven thousand, not ten thousand. Forget three days and nights; after just one day, this group would be completely wiped out by Wang Bo.

He could even accomplish this in less than a day.

For this reason, Wang Bo was not flustered at all; in fact, he felt like laughing.

He clapped his hands together and said calmly, "Shinra Tensei!"

In an instant, a powerful repulsive force surged outward from him, like a cascading Milky Way or a bursting flood, pushing away everything in its path.

The earth cracked inch by inch under the repulsion, forming a mudslide that swept wildly in all directions.

Seeing the danger, Jiraiya shouted, "Fall back! Retreat immediately!"

The Konoha ninjas, terrified, fled frantically, but unfortunately they had been too close to Wang Bo, and the mudslide advanced too quickly.

In an instant, countless ninjas were caught in the powerful repulsive force.

One after another, they were blasted away by the force.

Many others were swept into the mudslide, merged with it, and lost their lives.

There were not many ninjas who could truly evade this technique.

When everything settled, Wang Bo looked around and found that the tents and ninjas had all vanished, and even the nearby forest had been destroyed and leveled.

Where he stood, as far as the eye could see, was a flat expanse of ground.

But soon, one ninja after another crawled out from the ground, bedraggled, and there were quite a few of them.

Wang Bo swept his gaze over them and realized that his earlier technique had only buried a few hundred Konoha ninjas.

Most of the ninjas had survived.

Wang Bo clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. His Shinra Tensei was not yet mastered.

He was not Nagato Uzumaki and did not possess the Rinnegan, so this Shinra Tensei was not as powerful as the original.

In fact, Wang Bo could perform Shinra Tensei only because he understood it.

Shinra Tensei concentrates chakra and, with the user as the center, repels everything around them.

Unlike a shockwave, it is a special omnidirectional repulsive force.

As for chakra consumption, it should not be large, because in the original story, after each use of Shinra Tensei, Nagato had only about a five-second cooldown.

Once the cooldown ended, he could use Shinra Tensei again.

Thus, this technique consumes little chakra but has extraordinary power.

This technique can use powerful repulsion to defend against all attacks and can also be used as an offensive move against groups, because while defending, enemies are usually knocked back by the repulsive force—a powerful offensive-defensive technique.

Its range can be as small as nearby dust or as large as a city; of course, the larger the area affected by Shinra Tensei, the more chakra it consumes.

For example, Nagato once controlled his puppet, the Deva Path, above Konoha Village and used a Super Shinra Tensei.

Then Konoha was destroyed in an instant.

From this, it can be seen that the more chakra injected into Shinra Tensei, the greater its range and power. But no matter how much it increases, the essence of Shinra Tensei is the application of repulsive force.

This might be difficult for other ninjas to imitate.

But with Wang Bo's understanding of repulsive force, developing a technique similar to Shinra Tensei was not difficult.

However, the technique Wang Bo developed was not as good as the real Shinra Tensei.

But it was perfect for clearing the field.

Just like a moment ago, Wang Bo cleared the field in an instant, scattering almost all the Konoha ninjas. Although he only killed a small portion, almost all the survivors were injured.

Those completely unharmed were few and far between.

On the other hand, as Wang Bo unleashed this field-clearing technique, Bai, in the distance, waved his hand.

"Attack."

He gave the order without hesitation, knowing that the technique was the master's signal to strike.

At the same time, Wang Bo, looking at the surviving Konoha ninjas, found Jiraiya and fixed a gaze full of oppressive force on the Toad Sage.

Jiraiya immediately felt every cell in his body tremble. It had been a long time since he had felt this way.

Even when he, along with Tsunade and Orochimaru, faced the demigod of the ninja world, Hanzo the Salamander, he had not felt this.

He would die. He would die.

Jiraiya's reason told him that if he stayed, he would undoubtedly be killed by this monster-like being. But abandoning his comrades and fleeing alone was more unbearable than death.

So Jiraiya unhesitatingly cut through his hesitation, bit his finger, and performed the Summoning Jutsu, calling forth two toads.

Seeing this, Wang Bo knew Jiraiya intended to use the toads' power to enter Sage Mode and fight him. He raised a finger to finish Jiraiya off.

Although he did not think Jiraiya in Sage Mode could defeat him, a Sage Mode Jiraiya would be troublesome, and Wang Bo did not mind eliminating that trouble early.

But at that moment, a jet-black flame erupted from his body.

The flame instantly burned away the upper half of Wang Bo's clothes, emitting intense heat, trying to incinerate him.

Wang Bo immediately realized that this black flame must be one of the Sharingan's inherent techniques.

Amaterasu!

He looked down and, sure enough, saw a man hidden in the shadows staring at him.

That man was not Shisui Uchiha.

It was Itachi Uchiha.

After all, in the story, the only ones who could use this technique besides Itachi Uchiha were Sasuke Uchiha, but at present, Sasuke had not even awakened his Mangekyo, so how could he use Amaterasu?

Wang Bo remembered that Amaterasu was the highest-level fire-style ocular technique. Zetsu called it the strongest physical attack, and Kabuto Yakushi also praised it highly, considering it the strongest offensive and defensive ocular technique.

Sasuke believed it was an attack that could never be avoided—once it caught a target, it would not go out until it burned everything to ashes. Without external interference, Amaterasu's flames would only extinguish after reducing the target to cinders, said to burn for seven days and seven nights.
