Of course, Rope Tree is not a shadow-level powerhouse now, and his current strength can at most compete with the elite upper ninja and is still a weaker one, but relying on the super S-level ninjutsu of Lei Dun Qilin, he has mastered a strategic level power comparable to that of a shadow-level powerhouse! Although it is not comparable to the shadow-level powerhouses in terms of personal combat power, the destructive power of the Thunder Escape Qilin has surpassed that of some shadow-level powerhouses in large-scale wars. This power, coupled with his position of power and his status as a wise man, is already comparable to a shadow-level powerhouse, and it is also worthy of the allegiance of ordinary ninjas.

There are many examples of such a rope tree as having a strategic significance that is higher than an individual's combat power, and in addition to the human pillar power, the most typical is Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Ninja Village, who is known as a demigod!

In the village where Hanzo was born, there was a highly poisonous black pepper fish, and after the sansho fish died, the poison sac was implanted in the juvenile Hanzo, so Hanzo also became resistant to poison. Whenever he breathed, the people around him inhaled poisonous gases, and as a result, the people around him were afraid of the young Hanzo. In order not to affect others, Hanzo was forced to wear a mask and breathe through his mouth instead. Hanzo couldn't take off his mask easily, though that would give him an advantage in battle. But if the poison sac in his abdomen ruptures during the battle, even Hanzo will not be able to resist the poison of the Sansho fish.

Hanzo's personal combat power is at most a shadow level, and it is also a relatively weak shadow level, which can be seen from the fact that he was defeated by Mifune in the original book. But relying on the poison sac of the black pepper fish transplanted in his body, he can release a wide range of poisonous gas attacks, which is equivalent to a large-scale biological and chemical weapon! This ability has super lethality in war, and its strategic significance even exceeds that of the tailed beast, so he is called a demigod by the ninja world! It's a pity that this kind of poisonous attack ability is not perfect, it can only be effective on living creatures, and it is easy to be caught by people to grasp the weakness and target it, such as Chiyo's antidote, and Nagato's six puppets can be restrained, and after losing the assistance of the poison sac in the body, Hanzo can only barely reach the shadow level strength by relying on physical arts and ninjutsu.

If his poisonous attack is perfect, and his personal combat power can be comparable to Mu Dun, then he will be as full as the pillars.

And the current situation of the rope tree is very similar to Hanzo, and the mass lethality is far beyond the existence of personal combat power, but the rope tree is a grade worse than Hanzo in both aspects, but even so, his strength has surpassed the scope of ordinary reals, squeezing into the level of the top battle in the ninja world.

After receiving a series of system prompts, Rope Tree knew that he had made a lot of money in this way, but in line with the principle of making a lot of money in a muffled voice, there was no obvious change on his face, and in the face of Orochimaru's judgment and those burning eyes under his command, he just smiled slightly and acquiesced to everyone's thoughts.

"Rope tree! You're getting better and better! This time, I actually killed all Iwa Shinobi at once! That ninjutsu just now was so handsome! If only I had the Thunder Escape attribute too! Shinnosuke couldn't help but look at the rope tree with an excited face and said enviously.

Shinnosuke is a teenager's heart, and he doesn't think as deeply as other shinobi, but he is very envious of a powerful and gorgeous ninjutsu like Lei Dun Kirin.

Hearing this, Rope Tree glanced at the lake below him with a deep face, shook his head and smiled, "I didn't kill all the ninjas!" There are still a lot of big fish that have escaped the net in this water! ”

When the surrounding Shangnin heard this, their expressions immediately changed greatly, and they looked at the lake below them as if they were facing a great enemy, but unfortunately the faint moonlight did not illuminate the deep lake, and they couldn't see anything except the black and pressed pieces of stagnant water. However, everyone present knew that Rope Tree was good at perceiving secret arts, so they didn't have the slightest doubt about his words.

But after a long while, the lake under him was still calm and waveless, and there was no movement, and Rope Tree calmly said to the seemingly empty lake under him: "I didn't expect that the dignified Yan Shinobi Lao Zi would also choose to avoid the battle, and actually hide in the water like his old enemy Misty Ninja." If you don't come out again, you're going to have to use the means! ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that his agitation method had no effect, Rope Tree shook his head helplessly and said, "It's really stubborn!" ”

"The whole army listened to the order, and all the Water Ninjas began to prepare for the Water Prison Technique! Work with me to lock down the waters below! ”

Rope tree gave a loud order, waved his hand and shook his head, signaling everyone not to act rashly.

While it is true that it is possible to capture a fish that has been caught in the water in one fell swoop, it takes a lot of chakra to seal off such a large body of water. In order to break through the wall of the rock ninja base, the ninja army under the command of the rope tree has consumed a lot of chakra in a row, and the rope tree must be preserved as much as possible in order to fight with the sand ninja in the future, and it is not cost-effective to waste so many chakras for the defeat of dozens of remnants.

The reason why he deliberately gave a loud order was also to force Lao Zi and his party out. And Lao Zi did as Rope Tree expected, and after hearing his order, he immediately led the remnants of the ninja to the surface.

"Whoa......" Dozens of Iwa Shinobi stood upright and quickly rose from the water, their faces were pale, their expressions were gloomy and hideous, coupled with their wet and shabby clothes, they looked like a group of water ghosts under the white moonlight.

Seeing the appearance ......of Iwa Shinobi and his party, the 3,600 ninjas under the command of the rope tree should immediately form a formation on the surface of the water to surround them.

It turned out that when the rope tree was controlling the Thunder Dun Qilin in the clouds, Lao Zi, who was in danger of love, reminded his subordinates to disperse and dodge, and at the same time used the Meltaway Chakra mode to defend with the Meltaway Granite, because the main attack target of the Thunder Escape Qilin was the city wall dozens of meters high, and the other rock ninjas gathered on it were only incidental, so Lao Zi and some of the faster reaction Shangninas and a small number of lucky people standing on the edge of the city wall survived.

After the walls collapsed, they hid underground in the earth until the ruins were submerged, and then regrouped under the water to prepare for a surprise attack on the rope trees on the water.

However, they didn't expect that the rope tree was still a sentient ninja, and they had discovered their whereabouts early, and locked them in and confronted them with momentum on the water.

Because the ninjutsu used by Rope Tree before was too powerful, dozens of them were actually taken by his might, and they didn't dare to make a move for a while. By the time Konoha and the Vortex Country ninja army arrived, they had already missed the best opportunity. And because their whereabouts have been locked by the rope tree, they can't even escape, so they can only continue to hide in the water. It wasn't until the rope tree threatened them with a water prison technique that they had to surface.

"The Molten Blood Relay commanded by Lao Zi is really powerful, and it can still be safe and sound under my Thunder Escape Qilin." Rope tree looked at Lao Zi, who was like an eggplant, and admired with a smile on his face.
