At the same time, while Ling Yu was still fighting Shukaku, Jiraiya's reinforcements also arrived.

With the arrival of Konoha's reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly. The balance in numbers and the improvement in Konoha's morale made the victory gradually shift to the Konoha ninja side.

""Teacher Sarutobi, I'll help you."

As soon as he joined the battlefield, Jiraiya saw Sarutobi Hiruzen being held back by two Sand Ninjas.

He quickly rushed to his side and confronted the Third Kazekage and Ebizo of the Sand Village with him.

"Oh, so what if we have support? As long as the One-Tailed Shukaku defeats the Thousand Hands Ling Yu and returns to the battlefield, you Konoha will eventually die."

The Third Kazekage laughed disdainfully, and then formed seals with both hands.

""Magnetic Release: Giant Iron Sand Needles"

The highly compressed iron sand formed into several sharp spears and shot towards Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other man.

"Is Ling Yu okay?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen relied on his experience to dodge the attack of the Third Kazekage, then glanced at Shukaku and Ling Yu who were fighting fiercely outside the battlefield, and asked Jiraiya.

He thought Jiraiya would hold back the One-Tailed Shukaku together with Ling Yu, but he didn't expect that it would become Ling Yu fighting Shukaku alone, and Jiraiya ran to him.

Although the power displayed by Ling Yu now can contend with the tailed beasts, the tailed beasts can't be subdued so easily.

Its strong recovery ability and endless chakra are the reasons why most Kage-level strongmen can't defeat it. If there is no absolute power or special ninjutsu to deal with the tailed beasts, it is very likely to be killed.

"No problem, he is not the brat he used to be, he is much stronger than me now."

Jiraiya grinned and nodded affirmatively.

Recalling the power of the large-scale ninjutsu when Ling Yu wiped out the Rain Ninja, he still couldn't forget the terrifying scene of the three thousand Rain Ninjas evaporating out of thin air and the battlefield being completely destroyed by the ninjutsu. He firmly believed that since Ling Yu could do that, it should be easy for him to fight against the One-Tail.

"In this case, the most urgent thing is to repel them first, and then find a chance to support Ling Yu. You go and hold the other one, and I will deal with the Third Kazekage."

Still a little worried that Ling Yu could not defeat the One-Tailed Shukaku, Sarutobi Hiruzen was going to use all his strength, and turned to Jiraiya and gave him an order.

""Five Styles: Great Linking Bullet Technique"

Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with both hands and used the Shadow Clone Technique to summon four clones to cooperate with each other. He used five different ninjutsu of fire, thunder, water, earth, and wind to attack the Third Kazekage and Ebizo at the same time.

""Magnetic Release: Multiple Sand Iron Wall"

The Third Kazekage was not careless about the composite ninjutsu used by Sarutobi Hiruzen. He formed seals with both hands and quickly condensed four layers of huge iron sand walls to block himself and Ebi from hiding.

""Bang!"

After a loud explosion, three of the four layers of iron sand wall with a thickness of ten centimeters were penetrated, and even the remaining layer was almost penetrated. Seeing this thrilling scene, the Third Kazekage couldn't help but sweat for his own life.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet"

Before he could react, Sarutobi Hiruzen's attack came again.

For a moment, facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's continuous attacks, without Ebizo's help, the inexperienced Third Kazekage gradually fell into a disadvantage.

………

The other side of the battlefield

""Shua!"

The awakened Shukaku was obviously angry and began to attack Ling Yu frantically at close range. He kept swinging his tail, punching, and ramming. Although his attack speed exceeded the speed of sound and his attack range was getting larger and larger, every attack was avoided by Ling Yu using the power of space.

"Damn it! Tailed Beast Ball"

Seeing that he couldn't hit Ling Yu, Shukaku quickly changed his attack strategy and began to gather blue-purple black balls in his mouth.

In less than a moment, Shukaku gathered a Tailed Beast Ball as big as his head.

Sensing that the power gathered inside the Tailed Beast Ball could easily destroy several mountains, Ling Yu no longer held back. He didn't want the Tailed Beast Ball to hit the ninja of Konoha behind him.

"Wood Style: Wooden Man Technique"

""Wood Style: Wood Dragon Technique"

Chakra surged in his body, and Ling Yu formed seals with his hands.

The next moment, the trees under his feet began to grow wildly, and soon a wooden giant twice as big as the One-Tail was formed, with a lifelike wooden dragon wrapped around its arms.

"What!"

The moment he saw the Wood Release, Shukaku was shocked. He recalled the fear of being controlled by the Wood Release. He began to panic. He was about to release the Tailed Beast Ball in his mouth.

"Swallow what you vomited yourself!"

But Ling Yu did not give it this opportunity. He stood on the wooden man's head, controlled the wooden man's arms, grabbed the huge Tailed Beast Ball and stuffed it into the mouth of the One-Tailed Shukaku.

""Bang!"

The next moment, a huge roar resounded throughout the battlefield, and the entire ground shook violently due to the explosion.

After interrupting Shukaku's Tailed Beast Ball, Ling Yu's attack did not stop, and he continued to attack it.

"You still call yourself this master? So arrogant? I will beat you to death!"

He first controlled the wooden dragon on the wooden man's arm to tie up Shukaku, and then Ling Yu continued to control the wooden man's fist, punching Shukaku like a sandbag.

"Still want to tear me apart? I will beat you into a sand cake right now!"

""Ah!"

Because of being entangled by the wooden dragon, Shukaku's chakra was lost crazily, and his strength became weaker. Gradually, he even lost the ability to resist.

Being beaten by Ling Yu punch after punch, Shukaku screamed in pain, and the ground also vibrated rhythmically with the screams.

For a moment, the sound of fighting and killing on the battlefield stopped suddenly, and all the ninjas stopped unconsciously and stared blankly at the battlefield on Shukaku's side.

"You must be kidding! Ling Yu really didn't lie, he really learned Wood Release."The moment the wooden man came out, Jiraiya swallowed hard.

"This is... the Wood Release of the First Generation! Has the First Generation's Ninjutsu manifested itself again?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more exaggerated. He gave up chasing the Third Kazekage and stood there stupidly with his mouth wide open, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Wood Release! That's Hashirama-sama's Wood Release!"

"Could it be that the first generation master has arrived?"

"What nonsense! The first generation passed away a long time ago. That is the wood escape technique of the first generation's descendant, Senju Lingyu!"

"Look! Master Ling Yu's Wood Release has suppressed the violent tailed beast so much that it cannot move. With him, we Konoha will definitely win!"

The moment they saw the Wood Release, all the Konoha ninjas were boiling with excitement. They were more excited than if they had been injected with chicken blood. They looked at Ling Yu on the wooden man's head with fiery eyes.

"Damn it! A ninja proficient in Wood Release has appeared in Konoha again. No, we have to tell the Third Hokage to retreat quickly."

Chiyo looked at the Sand Ninja who was gradually losing their fighting spirit on the battlefield. She felt anxious and didn't care about fighting with Hatake Sakumo. She turned around and ran in the direction of the Third Kazekage.

She had experienced the era of Hashirama Senju, so she naturally knew that the situation in the ninja world would be completely changed after the reappearance of Wood Release Ninjutsu.

That was the strongest force in the ninja world, a Wood Release that no one has ever defeated. In the early years, Hashirama Senju relied on Wood Release Ninjutsu to suppress the other four major countries and established a peaceful era in the ninja world.

Now Ling Yu's Wood Release seemed to make her see the shadow of Hashirama Senju again, which was not good news for the Sand Ninja.

"Don't just stand there, Third Generation, order the Sand Ninja troops to retreat now."

Hurrying up to the Third Generation Kazekage, Chiyo shouted anxiously

"Ah? If we leave, what about the One-Tail?"

The Third Kazekage was in a dilemma as he watched the One-Tail Shukaku being beaten by Ling Yu on the battlefield.

"Now is not the time to act rashly. We can only give up the One-Tail for now and retreat first. We will negotiate with Konoha when we find an opportunity."

Ebizo also appeared beside the Third Kazekage and said in a deep voice after thinking for a while.

"If Konoha refuses to return it, we can use this as an excuse to call on the other three major countries to start putting pressure on Konoha. Other countries will definitely not sit idly by and watch Konoha continue to grow stronger."

"Damn it! Retreat! All troops retreat!" Gritting his teeth, the Third Kazekage finally compromised and hurriedly ordered the Sand Ninja to withdraw from the battlefield.
