Chapter 492: Kekkei Tota Dust Release
Onoki kept his eyes fixed on the battle between the Third Raikage and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's taijutsu was highly effective, allowing him to dodge most of the Raikage's attacks.
More importantly, Hiruzen's Adamantine Nyoi Staff was terrifyingly sturdy. Even the Raikage could not break the massive staff.
Living up to its reputation as the Sarutobi Clan's strongest ability, the Adamantine Nyoi Staff offered a top-tier balance of offense and defense in the ninja world.
The Raikage had not yet used his one-finger piercing hand, so it remained unknown whether that technique could snap the staff.
True to his title as The Professor of Ninjutsu, who had mastered all of the Hidden Leaf's ninjutsu, Hiruzen's Lightning Release was equally impressive. He had neutralized the paralyzing effect of the Raikage's Lightning Release. Upon closer inspection, faint lightning coated his hands.
Hiruzen's formidable strength kept the Raikage blocked outside the Hidden Leaf.
The two of them destroyed even more of the Hidden Leaf's perimeter walls and even more of the forest outside the village.
Just as Onoki prepared to launch a sneak attack against Hiruzen, he suddenly caught a black speck in the corner of his eye.
