Chapter 420: Itachi's Trump Card
"Come with me!"
Li Yao's clone of Obito smiled, turning and flying toward the next group of Konoha survivors.
With his chakra sensory range, all of Konoha's survivors were within his perception.
He intended to decapitate the remaining survivors of Konoha in front of Minato and the others.
Aren't they seeking to avenge Konoha, to eliminate this dangerous person for the peace of the ninja world?
Well then, Li Yao's clone would show them that, to him, they were no different from anyone else.
Whether they were from this world of ninjas or another, in Li Yao's eyes, they were nothing more than characters in a comic world. Killing them was as easy as playing a game. He felt no burden in killing, nor fear in doing so.
Also, since the Six Paths Sage had intervened, Li Yao would not let them off so easily.
Without the interference of the Six Paths Sage, if Li Yao had copied the Chakra nature of the Truth-Seeking Balls, he would have left this world and returned to the original Naruto world to begin his ultimate revenge.
There would have been no crisis in this world; at most, Konoha would have been injured. But now!
Li Yao would let the Six Paths Sage see the consequences of angering him. Even without Infinite Tsukuyomi, he could still bring about the destruction of the world—true world destruction.
"Tobirama, Minato, mark my clones with the Flying Thunder God technique."
At the top of the Thousand Hands Buddha, Hashirama sent out eight Wood Clone jutsu and spoke to Minato and the others: "Let that guy go, we'll split up and move the surviving Konoha ninjas to a safe place."
The group had come from quite a distance, and along the way, Minato and Tobirama had already left Flying Thunder God kunai in preparation for emergencies.
Now, Li Yao's clone intended to kill the survivors of Konoha in front of them. It would be foolish for them to follow him and wait for him to make his move.
"Understood."
Minato and Tobirama nodded, coming over to mark Hashirama's eight Wood Clone jutsu with their Flying Thunder God technique marks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Third Hokage and Itachi also sent out four shadow clones and had Minato and Tobirama mark them with the Flying Thunder God technique. This way, when they found the Konoha survivors, Minato or Tobirama could teleport over and get them to safety.
Minato and Tobirama also marked each other with the Flying Thunder God technique.
"Scatter!"
Hashirama said, and eight Wood Clones scattered, while Minato and the others also split up to find the surviving Konoha ninjas.
Minato and Tobirama, both with wide chakra sensory ranges, were the first to locate the Konoha survivors.
"Naive!"
Li Yao's clone of Obito sensed the movements of Minato and the others and immediately guessed their plan, sneering coldly.
"You think you can save the surviving Konoha ninjas like this? Too naive."
Li Yao's clone thought to himself, and with a thought, he created thirty clones and instantly disappeared using the Flying Thunder God technique.
"I found them... hmm!"
"No!!!"
Just as Minato, sensing chakra, found a pair of surviving Konoha ninja siblings hiding behind a large boulder about 1500 meters away, Li Yao's clone's chakra suddenly appeared in Minato's sensory range, and it was right behind the siblings, his Susanoo sword already raised.
"Stop!"
Minato rushed toward them, but Li Yao's clone purposely waited for him to get closer before swinging his sword. One strike, and the two heads filled with fear shot up into the air from the severed necks.
Boom!
Minato collapsed to his knees, staring blankly at the decapitated bodies of the siblings.
Blood sprayed onto the dark purple armor of Li Yao's clone's Susanoo, and with the clone sheathing his sword, the demonic figure and the full-body Susanoo's tengu mask created a fitting image.
Didn't Madara say it?
The Susanoo was the symbol of killing, the embodiment of destruction.
Li Yao's clone now brought about the destruction of the world in the name of a demon.
"Don't rush... this is just the beginning."
Seeing that Minato was just a shadow clone, Li Yao's clone paid no attention and vanished into a puff of smoke.
On the other side, Tobirama, who had also found the Konoha survivors, watched in horror as Li Yao's clone's shadow clone appeared behind the survivors and decapitated them in one swift blow.
"You... you've done this to everyone... no, no..."
Tobirama shook his head in disbelief, then suddenly thought of something, staring at Li Yao's clone with a horrified expression.
"You can teleport this far without needing to mark the target with a space-time seal?"
The distance between them was at least eight kilometers, with the smoke and dust obscuring their vision.
Logically, it should be impossible for the clone to teleport so precisely unless it had previously marked everyone from Konoha with the space-time seal.
But that was clearly not the case.
The only possibility was that Li Yao's clone had an incredibly strong sensory ability and didn't need space-time marks to teleport.
At this realization, for the first time, Tobirama felt the emotion of despair.
"So, where did you get the confidence to think you could defeat me?"
Li Yao's clone's shadow clone mocked Tobirama before vanishing into a puff of smoke.
"No..."
"Stop it, you bastard!"
"Don't!"
"Run... no!"
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!!!"
At the same time, in other parts of the battlefield, whenever Hashirama's Wood Clone or the Third Hokage found a survivor, Li Yao's clone's shadow clone would appear at just the right moment to execute the survivors with a swift decapitation.
No matter if the survivors were Jonin or Genin, or their strength, they were all executed like criminals on the execution block by Li Yao's clone's shadow clone.
Hashirama, the Third Hokage, and Minato's shouts only served to excite Li Yao's clone's shadow clones, but nothing more.
Soon, all the surviving Konoha ninjas were dead. Minato and Tobirama, along with the Third Hokage and Itachi, searched the area where the shockwave had spread. Except for the farther areas, there were no survivors left within the shockwave's range.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Minato and Tobirama returned to the top of the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue, staring at Li Yao's clone, who was mocking them in midair.
"Well? Feel the despair?" Li Yao's clone laughed coldly.
Minato and the others remained silent. By now, they fully understood that from the very beginning, Li Yao's clone had been playing with them.
His sensory ability had already pinpointed every surviving Konoha ninja and instantly teleported to them, killing them all.
But he had purposely waited for them to see it with their own eyes before making his move.
Clearly, he wanted them to feel the hopelessness of their inability to stop him.
Now, just as he had intended, they felt that despair.
Even Hashirama, at this moment, felt helpless against Li Yao's clone.
The power of the enemy made him feel deeply powerless.
"Don't rush, the killing has just begun."
