"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded, causing all the ninjas hiding in the open and in the dark in the Hot Spring Village to look towards the southwest of the village. Seeing the rising black smoke, many Hot Spring Ninjas gripped their weapons tightly. In the southwest of the Hot Spring Ninja Village, from the collapsed high wall, nearly a hundred figures rushed in directly. There was a kind of madness in their eyes, as if they enjoyed this act of destruction.
The followers of the Jashin Cult were spread all over the Land of Hot Springs, and their number was huge. The thousand people gathered by Kuriyama Shinzo were all elites among them. Before joining the Jashin Cult, they were either rebel ninjas from a certain ninja village or bandits and wandering samurai with many years of combat experience, and they all had significant power. The target of the attack was a ninja village, and bringing ordinary followers would only create more cannon fodder.
These nearly 100 people were agile. Under the guidance of a water-release jutsu, they passed through the flames, over the rubble and the houses destroyed by the explosion, and rushed madly towards the Hot Spring Village.
Boom!
Whoosh!
However, their invasion was naturally not so smooth. After they had traveled only a dozen meters, several fireballs and hundreds of shurikens and kunai flew towards them from all around. Most of these people were bloodthirsty and had crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. They reacted very quickly. More than a dozen ninjas among them immediately fought back.
Ninjutsu collided, and kunai and shurikens clashed with each other. In such a large-scale collision, several people who reacted a little slower were engulfed by the flames, and their hearts and throats were pierced by kunai or shurikens. There were companions falling beside them, but there was no trace of escape or fear in the eyes of Jashin's followers.
Swish!
Among them, several figures rushed out violently. The attack of the Hot Spring Ninja just now also exposed their positions. Most of these Rebel Ninjas of the Jashin Cult were around 30 or 40 years old, and it was obvious that they had defected for a long time. It was precisely because of the long period of defection and the increase in age that they joined the Jashin Cult in an attempt to gain immortality.
The skills of these Rebel Ninjas were quite strong, forcing the Hot Spring Ninjas who were preparing to launch a second round of attacks to engage them. The two sides met and confronted each other. This was just a corner of the Hot Spring Ninja Village, so there were only a dozen ninjas lurking there. After all, Hot Spring Ninja was a small ninja village with only more than 300 ninjas in total. The remaining crowd immediately surrounded them. In terms of numbers, Hot Spring Ninja was at a great disadvantage. However, this was a battle between ninjas, and the Hot Spring Ninja had several more skilled ninjas. It was not so easy for these attackers to win the battle alone.
At the same time, a large number of Jashin followers poured in from all directions of the Hot Spring Village. The ninjas of the Hot Spring Village immediately moved to stop them. The two sides began fighting, and the number of casualties continued to rise.
Compared to these areas of intense battle, the main gate of the Hot Spring Village seemed much quieter. A strong dark figure walked slowly from the front. When he touched the barrier, the familiar violent chakra immediately startled Suzuka, who was hiding in the dark, and she said, "It's him, C!"
Beside her, Minato and Uchiha Yoruki's expressions suddenly became solemn. They had personally witnessed this man's strength.
Swish!
However, beside them, Sakumo, who was carrying a short sword, jumped out immediately. The Hot Spring Ninjas closest to the main gate had already launched the first round of attacks. Ninjutsu and ninja tools poured down on C alone like a storm. His figure was immediately obscured.
"Shhh!"
However, a violent thunderous sound suddenly echoed, and a blue figure rushed out directly from the chaotic area. C, unharmed, focused his eyes and rushed directly in one direction.
"So fast!"
His figure was like lightning in the eyes of the Hot Spring Ninjas, and their reflexes could not keep up with his speed at all.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a scream was heard, ringing in everyone's heart. The next moment, C's figure reappeared, holding a bloody headless corpse. The head of this Hot Spring Ninja had been blown up by C's punch.
Swish!
At this time, Sakumo appeared in front of C, looking at him with anger.
"Haha, Hatake Sakumo, you are here as expected."
C laughed, but it was an icy laugh. His eyes, like copper bells, were full of murderous intent for Sakumo. He casually threw the body of the Hot Spring Ninja to the ground.
Swish!
At this moment, ninjas from the Hot Spring Ninja Village rushed out from all directions and surrounded C. He took a quick look and saw that dozens of Hot Spring Ninjas had gathered here for him. It seemed that they had expected a strong attack from the front.
"Kill!"
The Hot Spring Ninjas surrounded C, but a large number of Jashin followers poured in from the main gate of the Hot Spring Ninja Village. Nearly 300 Jashin followers almost blocked the small main gate.
"Interfering in other countries' internal affairs, C, your Land of Lightning has already overstepped its boundaries!" Looking at the 300 Jashin followers, Sakumo's eyes turned completely cold.
"Stop talking!"
C didn't care at all. The lightning armor on his body hissed, and the next moment, he turned into lightning and rushed towards Sakumo. Sakumo, prepared, pulled out the chakra short sword behind him and clashed with C.
"Bang!"
The two collided fiercely, and Sakumo's foot dragged a long mark on the ground. However, at the same time, the chakra short sword in his hand cut into C's lightning armor, though it was very shallow and not enough to break it.
"You are not Hatake Sakumo!"
C had never been at a disadvantage in a fight with Sakumo before, and the feeling of the man in front of him was completely different. The chakra attached to his short sword was not of the lightning attribute. The sharp blade that could cut through his lightning armor was of the wind attribute!
"Bang!"
As his voice fell, the "Sakumo" in front of him released his transformation technique, and the chakra short sword in his hand turned into a long sword with a black blade. Standing in front of C at this moment was a handsome young man, his eyes full of strong murderous intent towards C. It was natural, as C, a member of the Cloud Village, had come to interfere in their village's affairs.
"Who are you?" C exclaimed. The ninja who could take his attack was definitely not an unknown person.
The corner of the man's mouth smiled. The wind attribute chakra on the black blade in his hand turned into a sharper blade and penetrated C's lightning armor again.
"The leader of the Hot Spring Ninja Village, Yugimoto Kawahiko!"
