The Hell Stab and Eight Gates are similar in their presentation. The Eight Gates can be opened up to the Gate of Death through stacking. After the Gate of Death is opened, the Eight Gates will jump from A-rank to S-rank, and would undoubtedly be rated SSS-rank in the system evaluation.
Similarly, the strongest spear, the One-Pointed Hand of Hell Stab, operates in the same manner.
The strongest spear piercing the strongest shield is perfectly reasonable.
Lin Nan chuckled gleefully but suddenly realized that the Sealing Squad had wrapped him up with sealing tags.
"Alas, they've wrapped the wrong person!" Lin Nan shouted immediately, but it seemed no one paid him any mind.
"I just helped you defeat the Third Raikage, are you ungrateful wretches?" Lin Nan was extremely frustrated and easily broke free from the sealing tags.
The Sealing Squad quickly retreated, showing fear and suspicion towards Lin Nan's Edo Tensei status.
Lin Nan couldn't be bothered with them.
"Kurin-san?"
Lin Nan glanced at a corner and discovered Naruto's presence.
This guy's shadow clones were truly everywhere.
Lin Nan gave Naruto a kind smile.
The next second, lightning flashed, and Naruto's shadow clone exploded into smoke, causing some female ninjas to scream in alarm.
It seemed most of the Sealing Squad were female ninjas.
And they were quite attractive, too.
Is that Temari?
Lin Nan waved at the vigilant Temari, and his figure instantly vanished like lightning.
"Class monitor, do you know that Edo Tensei person? Why did he help us?"
"The Third Raikage, the strongest shield, was killed by him so easily, he's amazing!"
"Yeah, aren't Edo Tensei users enemies?"
"He's quite handsome, too bad he's dead!"
Temari looked at her subordinates and shook her head, "I know him, but not very well. I only know this person was previously with the Akatsuki, so it's normal that he's dead!"
"The Akatsuki?" All the female ninjas showed fearful expressions.
The incident from years ago, when Deidara from the Akatsuki invaded Sunagakure, abducted, and killed the Kazekage Gaara, felt as vivid as if it happened yesterday.
Meanwhile, Gaara and the other two, upon receiving the message transmitted by Naruto's shadow clone, decided to dispatch the present Naruto to deal with the situation, as they were unaware of Lin Nan's stance.
With time being of the essence, they could only proceed to the battlefield of the Second Mizukage first.
Just as Gaara and Onoki arrived at the battlefield and were about to engage the Second Mizukage, they saw lightning flashing in the distance, as if a figure was approaching.
"Alert!"
Onoki shouted upon seeing this.
However, as the figure drew nearer and slowed down, everyone looked closely and saw a figure in a red robe, surrounded by lightning, dragging the hero of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Naruto Uzumaki.
"Kurin-san, can you slow down a bit? You almost chafed my backside raw. I'm a shadow clone right now, very fragile, you know?" Naruto stood up, frantically rubbing his backside.
"Kid, what's going on?"
Onoki felt a bit confused, and it wasn't due to old age. The young and vigorous Kazekage next to him was also bewildered.
"The situation is, although I am Edo Tensei, I have broken free from control, and at least for now, I am on your side!" Lin Nan explained.
Onoki looked at Naruto with suspicion.
Naruto scratched his head, speechless.
Although Lin Nan hadn't killed him and had just helped seal the Third Raikage, he had indeed destroyed his shadow clone.
With Edo Tensei users now covering the entire battlefield, including some who had infiltrated to steal information through Edo Tensei, whether Lin Nan had truly broken free from his shackles was debatable.
Even if Naruto wanted to believe him, during wartime, everything had to be done with caution.
Gaara shared the same sentiment.
"Didn't I tell you earlier? I've seen your real body!" Lin Nan retorted at Naruto exasperatedly.
However, Naruto at this moment was a shadow clone. Only after being destroyed could the information be transmitted to his main body, and the main body couldn't transmit information back to the shadow clone in real-time.
Therefore, Naruto still scratched his head and gave a wry smile.
"Good kid, daring to play tricks! Let's see how your grandpa deals with you!" Onoki said, and the dust release square in his hand glowed again.
"Alas!" Lin Nan quickly waved his hands, helplessly saying, "How about this, I'll help you deal with that mustachioed guy. Would that be enough?"
Before he finished speaking, while Onoki hadn't reacted, the Second Mizukage, the mustachioed man nearby, couldn't sit still.
"Hey, hey, do you still respect me, your senior? You're young, but your tone is quite audacious; I don't know what means you used to break free from control, but as of now, there doesn't seem to be anything special about you?" The mustachioed man's face twitched, and his smile was somewhat comical.
The next moment, a small, chubby clone appeared beside the mustachioed man.
"Ding! SSS-rank Special Water Release: Clone Technique: Vaporize Tremor and Blast Wave (Gengetsu Hozuki) has been added to the skill library!"
"Everyone retreat!"
Onoki's expression changed slightly, and he gave the order. He naturally knew the terrifying power of the ninjutsu employed by the mustachioed man.
The Allied Shinobi Forces retreated, leaving only the mustachioed man and Lin Nan in the field.
"Crazy, absolutely crazy!" Onoki's large head was filled with small question marks.
Gaara and Naruto exchanged glances and decided to wait and see.
Lin Nan sighed, lamenting that even resurrection couldn't prevent his destiny as a laborer.
"Come on, though you youngling are ignorant of the world's immensity, I'm quite benevolent. What you need to do now is find my real body and break my Vaporize Tremor and Blast Wave water clone." The mustachioed man puffed out his beard and glared, but he was still smiling.
As someone who had already died, the mustachioed man was very philosophical. Since he was already dead, why trouble the younger generation?
Although his actions were controlled, the mustachioed man had contributed greatly with his words to the Allied Shinobi Forces, constantly explaining how he should be defeated.
However, the thinking of the Allied Shinobi Forces was not on the same wavelength as his, leading to a series of awkward situations, and thus, a stalemate had persisted until now.
The Mizukage was very frustrated by this.
Now, although the brash young man before him didn't show respect to his senior, if he could defeat him, wouldn't that be great?
The next moment, the small, chubby clone beside the mustachioed man, holding a hand axe, was about to rush towards Lin Nan.
However, halfway through the clone's charge, countless stone pillars suddenly emerged from the sand, forming a barrier that trapped the clone.
The clone tried to jump over, but the stone pillars continuously grew taller, forming a sealed cage.
"Oh?" The mustachioed man smiled appreciatively, "Not bad, but as long as you can't find my real body, I can release countless Vaporize Tremor and Blast Wave clones like this!"
Lin Nan curled his lip, "Can't you see my eyes?"
"Eyes?" The mustachioed man was slightly surprised, but the next moment his smile deepened, "So, illusions are like nothing in your eyes!"
Before he finished speaking, countless water bubbles seemingly materialized and rushed towards Lin Nan.
Lin Nan waved his hand slightly, and a gust of wind swept through, instantly dispersing the water bubbles.
"Wind Release, Wind Formation!"
Lin Nan's eyes flickered, and he said, "I recall your Hōzuki clan has ancestral techniques, like the Water Transformation Technique and Water Bullet, right? Use those on me!"
This left the mustachioed man speechless, his smile becoming stiff. Someone was actually asking to be attacked?
"Sorry, I can't right now..."
Before the mustachioed man could finish speaking, countless water spheres, like bullets, rained down on Lin Nan from an empty area.
