Crackling sounds—
The charred tree trunk occasionally fell to the ground.
On the open field,
Inuzuka Fuji was still impaled by the thick water spears, but at this moment, he forgot about the pain and stared at the scene in astonishment!
Is this guy the kid from the Uchiha clan that Sosuke defeated in the rumors!? He actually has such strong power!? Are all the Uchiha clan members abnormal!?
However, just as he was about to greet him, his pupils suddenly shrank when he looked at Uchiha Shino.
"Be careful!"
In a half-kneeling position, Uchiha Shino gasped heavily, his eyes returning to their original state.
Maintaining the Sharingan and using the A-rank ninjutsu had consumed a large amount of his stamina, which was a burden for him.
At that moment!
A figure suddenly appeared behind him!
Although Inuzuka Fuji's warning made him vigilant, it was already too late!
In the instant he desperately turned his head back!
"Swish!"
A water blade formed from liquid suddenly pierced through his abdomen!
Blood instantly stained his clothes red.
Uchiha Shino looked at Yūkigakoi in front of him with disbelief, his pupils widened, and he stammered.
"You... you..."
In front of him, Yūkigakoi had a wide grin on his face, revealing a single eye that stared dead at Uchiha Shino like a terrifying clown.
Before he could finish his sentence, Yūkigakoi kicked him!
"Thud!"
Like an abandoned sandbag, Uchiha Shino was kicked ten meters away, falling to the ground unconscious.
"Crack, crack!"
Standing in place, Yūkigakoi lightly moved his limbs, producing horrifying sounds.
His right hand slowly returned to normal from the water blade.
"It was a close call. I almost died just now. Are the little brats from Konoha really that impressive!? Your talents have truly stirred up my desire to kill you..."
He glanced lightly at the two helpless individuals and ignored them, turning around to face Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Dai. He spoke in a low voice.
"Let's deal with these three first!"
At this moment, Jiraiya and Tsunade both looked at Yūkigakoi, their expressions becoming serious!
Rather than waiting for the enemy to strike, it's better to take the initiative!
Jiraiya gave Tsunade a signal, then rushed forward first!
While running, he quickly formed hand seals!
"Ninpō: Shishi Gōhatsu no Jutsu!" (Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Great Departure Technique!)
Suddenly, his hair seemed to come alive, with each strand pointing sharply towards Yūkigakoi!
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...
Countless steel needles shot towards Yūkigakoi in an instant!
"Just this kind of technique is probably not enough!"
Yūkigakoi showed no concern for the countless steel needles in the sky!
He lightly swung his right hand!
The torrential rain curtain seemed to come to life under his command, transforming into tens of thousands of Senbon once again, attacking Sakumo and his steel needles!
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...
The metallic clash in the air was incessant, occasionally sparking various sparks.
The attacks directed at Sakumo were blocked one after another by his white hair, acting like steel needles, without posing a threat!
At that moment!
Taking advantage of the dispersion of all the Senbon, Tsunade, with an angry expression, stared at Yūkigakoi and quickly dashed forward!
"You bastard!! Die!"
"Taijutsu Secret Technique: Collapse!"
Suddenly, at a distance of dozens of meters from Yūkigakoi, she stopped her body, clenched her fists tightly, and fiercely slammed her right hand onto the ground!
"Boom!" A burst of air surged!
Countless rocks and dust flew in the air due to the shockwave!
"Crack, crack—"
The ground from Tsunade to Yūkigakoi rapidly cracked and collapsed.
A massive chasm filled the area!
The intense shaking of the ground made it nearly impossible to stand!
Yūkigakoi's eyes were filled with astonishment, unable to believe that even the lower-level ninjas from Konoha were this strong! Even a girl had such terrifying power!
At the same time!
Jiraiya, who was waiting on the side, took advantage of this opportunity!
He quickly formed hand seals!
"Ninjutsu: Oil Swamp Burial!"
He spewed out a large amount of oil!
Instantly, the trench was filled with a pool of oil, firmly trapping Yūkigakoi!
Yūkigakoi stared with shocked eyes.
"What is this!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Jiraiya sneered!
"I'll send you to hell! Katon: Gōenkyū no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Blaze Technique!)
Flames gushed out from his mouth, instantly igniting the oil in the trench!
Roaring—
The flames soared up rapidly, rising several meters above the ground, turning the area into a sea of fire!
"Bang!" A sound.
Sakumo Hatake fell to the ground again.
Fresh blood slowly oozed from his right leg, but he had no time to pay attention to it. He stared fixedly at the person approaching, feeling a chill in his heart!
This guy's attacks are extremely strange! What exactly are they! A Bloodline Limit!
This was already the third time!
Every time he approached this guy, unseen attacks would cut through his body!
And this guy had been standing in place the whole time, just coldly looking at him!
At that moment!
Ameguri suddenly looked towards a certain direction as if he saw something, muttering to himself.
"Are strong individuals coming... Are they Konoha ninjas?"
"Tell Yūkigakoi, this guy can't play anymore..."
Then, he turned his head towards Sakumo Hatake lying on the ground!
Sakumo Hatake's hair stood on end, and he gritted his teeth to stand up again!
Jiraiya and Tsunade gasped for breath, their bodies exhausted, as they looked at the sea of fire!
The burning flames dyed the two of them a fiery red!
Finally... is that guy dead!?
"Let's go. There's still one person left. I don't know who's dragging him. We should go and help!" Jiraiya turned to Tsunade and said, even though both of them had little energy left.
Just as they were about to move!
A dark figure swiftly approached Jiraiya!
"Bang!"
Instead of dodging, Jiraiya could only use his body to block him!
Thud—
With a heavy thud, the two of them crashed to the ground.
"Sakumo!? Are you okay!?"
Sakumo Hatake, covered in blood, weakly muttered with closed eyes.
"He... be... careful... blood..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he passed out.
A tall figure wearing sunglasses slowly walked over, looking coldly at the people here and spoke in a cold voice.
"Come out, Yūkigakoi. Strong individuals from Konoha have arrived. Resolve the situation here as soon as possible!"
As he finished speaking!
In the rain curtain, a figure appeared somewhat unnaturally!
Both Tsunade and Jiraiya couldn't believe their eyes as they looked at this guy!
This guy! He's still alive!
Yūkigakoi's hair was slightly burnt, and there was a scorch mark on his face.
He stared at Tsunade and Jiraiya with one large eye, filled with madness.
"You brats, you've really provoked me! I will make you taste the most brutal taste of death!"
Just as he finished speaking,
"Swish!" He disappeared into the rain curtain and suddenly emerged, standing in front of Tsunade!
Exhausted, Tsunade tried to resist but had her throat grabbed tightly!
Lifted high.
Yūkigakoi stared at Tsunade's struggling, seemingly filled with excitement. His eyes widened, and he licked his lips.
"Come... feel the arrival of death..."
"Tsunade! You bastard..."
Jiraiya, filled with anger, wanted to rush forward, but as soon as he moved, Ameguri glanced at him, causing blood to spurt from his legs. He fell to the ground, his gaze fixed on Tsunade's figure!
"Tsunade..."
Meanwhile, on the empty field, Uchiha Shino woke up in a daze, weakly looking at this scene.
Inuzuka Fuji was also extremely angry, but he had no way to help. He couldn't even save himself!
Tsunade felt suffocated, her beautiful face turning crimson. In a daze, she felt the arrival of the Grim Reaper...
Is it really the end... Sosuke... am I going to die...
At that moment!
Ameguri suddenly turned his head towards the direction of the forest!
Then, he sharply looked at Yūkigakoi and shouted.
"Yūkigakoi..."
Before he could finish his sentence!
"Plip-plop!"
An arm fell to the ground!
Whoosh—
In an instant, a violent gust of wind caused by high speed rushed over, creating a blank space in the rain curtain!
Everyone present showed expressions of astonishment as they looked at the figure with his back to them!
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
A gust of wind swept, causing the cloak on that figure to flutter lightly.
He turned his head slightly.
Revealing a perfect jawline and profile.
"Sosuke!" Inuzuka Fuji exclaimed excitedly.
"It's him..."
Uchiha Shino looked at this figure, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"It's you, Sosuke!" Jiraiya exclaimed!
"You dirty and ugly person, creatures like you should be erased from this world..."
Sosuke held
the breathless Tsunade, his profile facing Yūkigakoi, his eyes narrowing slightly as he spoke in a cold voice.
This was the first time he had felt a thing called rage!
