Naruto Time Control

"We almost suffocated to death there! It's really not that easy to avoid the detection of Byakugan... we were buried underground for so long!"

The ones who came underground showed grim smiles one after another.

One of the Jonin who's also resisting Orochimaru's assault also showed a cold smile and said: "One of Konoha's Legendary Sannins, Orochimaru. You're really strong, but unfortunately, you don't have enough manpower. so you should just die here today!"

Just for this ambush the people from Hidden Rock prepared thoroughly.

First, they deliberately leaked their movements going to the Land of Grass to Konoha and let them roughly estimate their numbers.

After that, Hidden Rock quietly dispatched thirty more elite ninjas to different directions with different 'missions' then merged at the border of the Land of Fire to prepare an ambush towards Konoha's advance force.

Since they were dispatched in different batches, they used different missions to act as a cover up, so even Konoha's scouts wouldn't even notice it because small movements from one or two squads wouldn't be given great importance

And when these teams finally reunited together, they would become a more formidable force.

Half of them are all Jonins, four of them were even Upper Jonins from Hidden Rock Village!

Their main purpose for this mission is to give Konoha's advance force a major loss!

Because if they were successful, they would have a major advantage during the war!

"..."

Orochimaru's pair of snake eyes flashed a strange look.

Seeing the new line up from Hidden Rock Village. It's impossible for such an elite troop to move without Konoha's knowledge. However, Konoha indeed has not received the slightest information about this troop!

In other words, it took a lot of thought for Hidden Rock to create this situation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! !

At the next moment, another three Upper Jonins surrounded Orochimaru.

Previously, he was facing two opponents but now he's faced with five Upper Jonins. Although this kind of formation couldn't threaten him, they were enough to hinder him!

"Huhu... so that's it."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed coldly and with a strange tone he said: "The one who will die here is still hard to say."

In fact, he had already guessed that the Hidden Rock Village should have done something fishy in advance, and just attacking recklessly might affect the whole advance force. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't do such a thing.

However, he still chose to attack.

The reason is simple.

There's a ninja named Might Dai in his team. This ninja is also outside of Hidden Rock Village's intelligence. His combat power is enough to deal with any unexpected situation!

"Unfortunately, you will be the one to die here!"

After Hong Daichi's words he suddenly attacked Orochimaru along with the four others.

At the same time.

Konoha's advance force is in a very dire situation.

The sudden addition of Hidden Rock elites is completely enough to reverse the plight of the two forces.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Someone yelled in Orochimaru's direction, trying to remind him.

This is a bad situation, if they continue to fight, their only outcome would be defeat. Now what they need to do is retreat!

However.

Orochimaru has no intention of retreating. He continued his barrage on the five Hidden Rock ninjas that were surrounding him. It seems that he won't give the order to retreat, instead, he wanted to fight to the end.

Hyuga Hisao was currently fighting against two Upper Jonins and he was facing a difficult situation. He looked in the direction of Orochimaru and he was a little surprised.

"Lord Orochimaru?"

In this kind of situation, they clearly should not continue to fight!

With Orochimaru's judgement, he shouldn't fail to see this, but it seems that he still has no intention of retreating. His choice almost made all the Konoha ninjas skeptical.

However, at this moment.

Might Dai, who was inside the scuffle suddenly roared, and immediately, green chakra light instantly enveloped him.

"Hachimon! SIxth Gate of Joy! Open!"

After opening the Sixth Gate, Dai's speed and strength suddenly surged, and he quickly kicked a Jonin in his stomach sending that person flying as he vomited mouthfuls of blood.

This scene stunned Ibiki and the others. They didn't expect that 'The' Might Dai, the infamous "Eternal Genin" would have immense strength hidden underneath that facade!

Only at this moment did they understand.

No wonder Lord Hokage assigned MIght Dai to join the advance force. With his strength, he was indeed qualified, because the strength he just showed was at the Upper Jonin level!

But after a short astonishment it didn't change their current plight, their groups were still facing tremendous pressure. Although Might Dai's strength was somewhat unexpected, it was not enough to reverse the situation.

And Orochimaru still hasn't issued an order to retreat.

Morino Ibiki and the others can only continue fighting while gritting their teeth.

"Even with the Sixth Gate opened... These Hidden Rock ninjas are really strong. It seems that I have to open the Seventh Gate... and if needed, I'll have to open the last gate..."

Might Dai with the Sixth Gate opened has the ability to kill Chunins and suppress Jonins, but it was still not enough to reverse their situation.

Judging from the current situation on the battlefield, even if he opened the Seventh Gate and killed a few Jonins, their situation would still be dire. He's afraid that he would have to open the Last Gate as a way to salvage the situation!

The Gate of Death...

Might Dai took a deep breath. He wasn't afraid of death. He was willing to burn his youth to protect the ones that he loved back in the Village, it was something that he needed to do!

But just as he was about to open the Seventh and Eight Gate, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"You don't have to go that far Senior."

Feng walked over behind him while holding his Chakra Sword. Next to him was a cold corpse of a Rock VIllage ninja that's body was split in half.

Since his ability to reverse time can't be used on other people. If Might Dai opened the Final Gate of Death, the final result would be his death.

If that was the case, he has no other option but to handle the situation himself.

"...Feng?"

Might Dai looked at him with astonishment.

Feng walked beside him with a calm expression. Then, he formed hand seals with his left hand and gently caressed his Chakra Sword. After that, the sound of thousands of birds chirping reverberated throughout the battlefield.

Lightning Release! Chidori!

As he continued to step forward, a silver-white light emerged and enveloped his body.

It was like the chakra that envelops him when he activates the Third Gate.

However, the light that enveloped him was not green that was supposed to be when you opened the Third Gate, nor was it as dark as the Lightning Release: Chakra mode that is utilized by the Fourth raikage. Instead , it was a silvery white light.

"Gate of Life! Lightning Mode!"

This is what Feng named his current state.

Lightning Chakra nature can cause intense damage to the user's body, but for him who have the ability to reverse time, he can ignore these kinds of side effects.

And during this mode, Chidori could also be maintained for a longer period of time.

After gaining the ability to reverse time, he created abilities that were suitable for him, his speed was now even faster than just regularly opening a gate.

The most important thing is...

The silver-white light that envelops him was stark in contrast compared to the emerald green which enveloped him once he opened the Third Gate. Visually speaking the silver light that surrounds him was difficult to see in the naked eye.

"This place is not qualified for you to use that senior."

"Just leave everything to me."

Bathed in silvery-white light, Feng spoke softly to Might Dai then slashed his Chakra Sword to the right bringing arcs of thunder that intertwined in the void.
