Because the other party will devour more souls to strengthen itself.

However, if you don't try, you may lose the opportunity to counterattack forever.

The dilemma is the situation that the Fourth Raikage is in at this time.

"Are you thinking about how to cut off my head?"

Shiraishi's cold voice made the Fourth Raikage wake up suddenly and his pupils narrowed.

His thoughts were seen through.

"Don't be surprised, because if it were me, I would make the same judgment. So, do you want to take a gamble? Let's see if I take your soul away first, or you take off my head first. It's very difficult.

It’s an interesting game.”

Shiraishi nodded his head with his finger.

"You mean...game?"

"Isn't it? There is not much time left for you. Here, your chakra will disappear soon. The longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial it is to me."

Shiraishi was not in a hurry at all and stopped walking, leaving the choice of attack to Tsunade and others.

An undefended posture has flaws everywhere.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just a trap to lure them.

Of course, it could also be that Shiraishi is bluffing.

After all, if the head is removed, Shiraishi can lose his mobility even if he doesn't die.

This tactic is very necessary to implement.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Raikage didn't talk nonsense.

"Hokage, cover me!"

The Fourth Raikage crushed the ground and rushed towards Shiraishi in one breath.

As one of the Five Shadows, he couldn't stop because of the other party's threats.

There is no word "compromise" in his dictionary.

"Immortal Technique·Wood Release·Thorn Killing Technique!"

Hashirama carried out a feint attack, creating an opportunity for the Fourth Raikage to approach Shiraishi.

A large number of vines shot out like long snakes, rushing in front of the Fourth Raikage, and took the lead in attacking Shiraishi.

Shiraishi did not attack head-on, but jumped to dodge.

"Isn't it invalid?"

Hiruzen's eyes widened, as if he had discovered some secret.

"It may have something to do with the ingestion of natural energy. His clone seems to have the ability to invalidate ninjutsu, but it shouldn't be able to break the senjutsu."

Tsunade made a bold guess.

"In this case, there is still a chance."

Hiruzen's eyes lit up.

If ninjutsu is useless, use senjutsu to suppress the opponent.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen also rushed forward with the Fourth Raikage.

Although he is called a doctor of ninjutsu, his physical skills are not weak either.

He took out a scroll and held a ninja sword from it. The sound of the blade tearing through the air was heard.

Shiraishi jumped left and right, dodging attacks while attacking the Fourth Raikage and Hiruzen with his soul tentacles.

The two people disturbed by the soul tentacles would not be able to exert their full power, otherwise their speed would also make Shiraishi feel troublesome.

Regardless of Hiruzen, the previous Hokage, there is no doubt that the Fourth Raikage is the fastest ninja in the world, second only to the space-time ninjutsu.

He didn't like dealing with such speedy ninjas.

"But the toughest guy is still..."

From the corner of his eye, Shiraishi glanced at Hashirama who was behind to provide support.

The Wood Release can be used offensively or defensively, from a distance or up close. It is not only fully functional, but also powerful enough in terms of lethality.

If there is anyone present who has the ability to threaten him the most, it is Hashirama, the first Hokage.

The most important point is that you are determined to win the other person's soul.

At this moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked.

Tsunade's fist shattered the ground, and the cracks extended, causing Shiraishi's feet to step into the air.

Works well together.

Shiraishi thought so.

But his face was calm in the face of danger, and the tentacles of his soul directly wrapped around his whole body, surrounding his body.

The Fourth Raikage and Hiruzen, who originally wanted to launch a close-range attack, gave up the attack out of reluctance and reopened the distance.

"We must find a way to break through. If this continues, my chakra will sooner or later-"

Hiruzen gasped.

It is clear that the body reincarnated in the filthy earth will not feel tired.

But at this time, he did feel tired and his speed began to decline.

The previous large-volume bombs consumed a lot of his chakra.

Now there is another fierce attack and defense, and the chakra is consumed faster. It won't take long for his chakra to bottom out.

If they can't find a chance to win before then, the situation will be unfavorable for them.

Just as he was thinking about how to reverse the situation, the ground beneath his feet suddenly surged, making him bow his head in shock.

It was too late to get out of the way, the soft mud grabbed Hiruzen's legs like a swamp, making his body sink deep into it.

"Sarutobi-sensei!"

Tsunade wanted to go to the rescue.

Shiraishi's soul tentacles were faster than her, and the sound of penetrating the body was heard, causing Tsunade's running movements to stop for an instant.

"hateful……"

Hiruzen looked at the soul tentacles that penetrated his body. His body was completely unable to control himself. Even if he wanted to use magic to save himself, he couldn't.

"...You...won't...succeed..."

As the words fell, the shadow of the spirit body was withdrawn from the body.

Shiraishi held down Hiruzen's spirit body, admiring his masterpiece, and then slowly inserted it into his body.

"Maybe, but that's not something you should consider anymore, doctor, just reunite with your successor inside my body."

Showing a faint smile, Shiraishi turned his head to look at Tsunade, who had a scowl on his face.

"This angry expression is really rare, Tsunade-sensei. Does it make you feel so sad to see your mentor being arrested? I gave you a chance, but you just gave up."

While making sarcastic remarks, he burped, as if he had eaten too much.

That smile, in Tsunade's eyes, became more unbeatable and dangerous.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. You'd better plan to do this, because I won't show mercy to you."

Tsunade clenched her fists hard, her eyes became cold and heavy, as if she was carrying something unknown.

Shiraishi nodded and continued to smile:

"Haha, that's the best. Although I think you probably can't kill me, you're just doing useless work. Besides, I'm not in the mood to play with you anymore. I'll just defeat you with the next blow."

Shiraishi's words were full of confidence and decisiveness.

"You said we were defeated...are you looking down on us? Bastard!"

When the Fourth Raikage heard this, he immediately felt that he had been underestimated and couldn't help but feel angry.

Hashirama was also surprised, wondering where Shiraishi got his confidence.

Although this situation does put them at a slight disadvantage, it is not really at the end of their rope.

Therefore, their winning rate is also there, but it is very slim.

"To be honest, there are always people who don't like to hear it. So, let me give you a hint."

"hint?"

Shiraishi turned his head and looked to the side. It was a ball of soft mud, twisted into an irregular human shape. There were no eyeballs in the eye sockets, just two holes, but the depths of them exuded an earthy yellow light. When the body twisted, there would be

It makes a sticky sliding sound.

It was the General Tu who followed him into the Pure Land.
