Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 246 How Ninja Doctors Handle Medical Disputes (Part 1)
While Sasuke was engaged with two opponents, Neji also took out his chakra sniper rifle and aimed it at the two who were entangled with Sasuke.

Meanwhile, Sasuke, in close combat with them, lured and suppressed their figures, bringing them right under Neji's gun.

The opponent's bizarre method of increasing strength clearly showed signs of being caused by external forces. Therefore, the two tacitly cooperated, trying to directly shatter the abnormal source of the opponent's chakra flow.

Neji seized the opportunity and fired a shot. A concentrated beam of chakra shot out from the muzzle and landed on the back of the neck of the person he was aiming at.

The chakra ray pierced through the opponent's neck in an instant, but the next moment, the opponent's body turned into a stream of blue water and disappeared from Sasuke's sight.

A moment later, the water that had flowed away converged at another spot, forming the shape of the ninja who had just been shot.

"A technique similar to the Hidden Mist Technique, the Water Transformation Technique? If that's the case..." Sasuke frowned, then forced back another ninja facing him with a single strike. As he took two steps back, he sheathed his Purple Lightning Blade and began rapidly forming hand seals.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Waterfall!"

Thick plasma formed around Sasuke as he formed hand seals. As Sasuke completed the final Rabbit Seal, the plasma suddenly boiled, transforming into a surging wave that roared towards the opponent.

"Fire Release: Fire Walk Technique!" Facing the roaring waves of lightning, one of the attacking ninjas began to spin at high speed, the blazing flames stretching into a rotating circular wall of fire as he spun.

"Wind Release: Divine Wind!" The other person among the two surrounded by the wall of fire spun around and spewed out a gust of wind.

With the wind fanning the flames, the rapidly spinning wall of fire grew increasingly powerful, spreading outwards continuously.

The next instant, thunder and flames collided, and a violent explosion resounded in the center of the valley. The trees in the valley were instantly ignited by the high temperature, and billowing black smoke rose into the air.

"Something's not right." Neji approached Sasuke, who was maintaining his ninjutsu and exchanging blows with the opponent, and said with a frown.

“Yes.” Sasuke nodded. “Their strength, at best, is that of an ordinary Jonin in the village. For the four of them to think they could kill someone under our noses is just wishful thinking. But the charlatan’s confident manner doesn’t seem like he’s lying, so there’s probably something fishy going on.”

Just as the two were still pondering what kind of trump card the other was hiding, the last of the four attackers emerged from underground, their target being Sakura, who was protecting Karin and setting up a sealing technique for her.

To this person, Sakura's hair was messy, and her dark circles made her look like she was about to die at any moment; she looked like an easy target.

However, just as half of his body emerged from the ground, Sakura stomped her foot forcefully, instantly freezing his expression. The ground where he was hiding cracked inch by inch, and his body underground was almost shattered into pieces by the shockwave. After narrowly escaping from underground, Sakura's subsequent punches left him with no chance to fight back.

Compared to the one who barely escaped from Sakura's clutches but was at least out of danger, and the one who maintained a ninjutsu exchange with Sasuke, the one who started fighting Lee was also the first to give up. After Lee deliberately removed his weights and opened the Fifth Gate, his speed had become so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch. Moreover, with each of Lee's attacks landing on his opponent, although he was able to replenish the damaged parts of his body by condensing new rocks with his chakra while maintaining his petrified state, thus not suffering much damage, his chakra was being almost completely drained by Lee's relentless onslaught.

The petrified attacker tried to escape, but Xiao Li didn't give him the chance. Relying on pure speed, he arrived behind the attacker and kicked him into the air with a high kick.

"Li Lianhua! Drink!" Little Li roared and spun downwards with a flying kick. The stone man, who had completely lost his balance in the air, showed a look of terror on his face, the only part of his face that still retained a human form.

"Boom!" A loud noise resounded throughout the sky. After Xiao Li's flying kick landed on the opponent, the stone man's body instantly lit up with a red light. Then, his entire body exploded into pieces, turning into fragments of stone.

"Neji! Now!" At that moment, Sasuke, who was maintaining his ninjutsu and exchanging blows with his opponent's combined ninjutsu, shouted. Neji also took out a component from the sealing scrolls on both sides of his waist and attached it to the chakra sniper rifle in his hand, and then began to continuously inject chakra into it.

With the addition of the new components, the sniper rifle's energy storage device overloaded almost instantly, and the previously tightly flowing chakra began to run rampant in the barrel.

The two great dojutsu of Konoha, linked together by Tenten's invention, locked onto the enemy's location in what could be described as an instant, and Neji pulled the trigger.

A thick chakra laser cannon erupted from the barrel. The new component Tenten had prepared for Neji transformed the chakra sniper rifle into a powerful cannon! After the cannon fired, even with Neji's physical abilities, the immense recoil forced him back several steps before he regained his balance.

His enemies were also engulfed by the explosion in that instant.

At the same time, Sakura's powerful punch landed on the last enemy, shattering him into pieces.

After defeating their respective enemies, the group quickly reunited, protecting Shion and Ashiho in the center.

"Is that all?" Karin, who had just finished preparing a large-scale chakra sealing technique, was about to relax when Sasuke's reminder rang out.

"Don't let your guard down! They might have a backup plan!"

As Sasuke's voice faded, four eerie incantation circles lit up at the locations where the attackers had been shattered. Under the influence of these circles, the attackers' broken and scattered bodies began to slowly coalesce into various chakra forms, eventually reassembling into a human shape. "Are they... unkillable?" Neji stared intently at his opponent. In his Byakugan's vision, the abnormal chakra fluctuations at the back of his opponent's neck became even more active than before. Furthermore, Neji also discovered that not only had his body recovered, but the chakra he had expended in the battle had also been completely replenished.

"Even their chakra has been restored?" Sasuke took a deep breath. Only now did he understand why the attacker, despite having only this much strength, was able to kill someone under their protection, as predicted by Shion.

The opponent's continuous flow of chakra does seem to give them a chance to wear them down here.

[If only that guy were here!] Sasuke gritted his teeth and thought to himself.

However, Sasuke quickly shook his head, banishing these chaotic thoughts from his mind, and turned to Karin, saying, "If we can't kill them, then let's use a sealing technique. It's up to you, Karin!"

"Leave it to me!" Karin nodded, then gave a low shout and activated the sealing runes that she had already completed. The dark sealing runes spread outwards from her center. The attackers tried to jump up and dodge, but the next moment, all sorts of ninja tools suddenly shot out from the ruins of the battlefield, which had been turned into a mess in the previous battle, completely blocking their movement routes.

Sasuke and Neji, one twisting a steel wire with one finger and the other holding a small remote control, represent the conservative Uchiha clan's family tradition of shurikenjutsu, and the Konoha Ninja Tool Research Institute's chief experimenter, representing the reformist faction. These two ninja tool masters had already taken advantage of the chaos during the previous battle to set up a trap. Steel wire shuriken, explosive tags, and various explosive gadgets flew around the attackers and exploded.

Although these things couldn't cause any damage to the group of people who all had the ability to transform into elements, they only delayed them for a short while before Karin's sealing technique, a net of heaven and earth, completely enveloped them!
The sealing runes clung to the opponent's body like maggots, causing the opponent's chakra to rapidly deplete.

However, just after the chakra fluctuations on the attackers completely disappeared, various colored magic circles suddenly flashed on the back of their necks. From Neji's Byakugan perspective, although the chakra in the attackers' bodies disappeared, a strange energy surged out afterward.

"Oh no! This isn't chakra! This chakra-sealing technique isn't working!" Karin shouted a warning.

“It’s useless,” Shion, who was being protected by everyone, suddenly muttered to herself. “The power of the demon is not chakra.”

"Why wasn't this important information revealed sooner?" Karin turned around and scolded without thinking. The Uzumaki clan's heritage wasn't entirely devoid of methods to deal with non-chakra special forces. Even with mysterious natural energies, the Uzumaki clan's heritage had two techniques that could seal them. Moreover, the Uzumaki clan's heritage also had methods for analyzing and formulating sealing techniques against special energies. However, Karin had never encountered the special energy emanating endless resentment and malice emanating from this opponent. If she had known this information earlier, Karin could have prepared to analyze it and design a seal from the beginning, but now that opportunity was clearly gone.

In just a few breaths, the attackers' bodies underwent a dramatic transformation under the influence of this strange energy; their forms became bizarre and distorted.
"Take them back. Leave this to me. Since the seal is useless, let's make them disappear completely." Sasuke said coldly at this moment. The three tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly and then turned into the pattern of the kaleidoscope. Blood tears slowly flowed from his left eye, and dark lightning appeared in his hand, turning into the shape of two long swords.

"Alright." Given the current situation, he had no way to deal with this special energy, and even if he stayed, it would be difficult to help much. So Neji simply chose to trust Sasuke and retreated while protecting Shion and the others.

The attackers, transformed by the power of the demons, quickly became twisted monsters driven only by instinct, and their target was Shion, who was retreating under the cover of Neji and the others.

Roaring, their modified bodies chased after Shion in all sorts of strange poses, completely ignoring Sasuke, who was in their path.

"How dare you ignore me? This is infuriating!" Sasuke's eyes were filled with blood and tears. He stepped on lightning and used two longswords made of black lightning summoned by his two eye techniques, the Martial Arts Hammer, to slash through the bodies of four monsters with a dual-wielding circular slash.

The jet-black lightning blade made no sound the moment it touched the opponent's body, and the eerie energy from the demon vanished into nothingness.

"Roar!" The monsters, acting on instinct, cried out in pain.

However, Sasuke's next strike followed immediately. At this moment, Sasuke was like a precise butcher, his jet-black lightning blade continuously annihilating the bodies of the four indescribable monsters. Although the jet-black lightning blade was also constantly being consumed, the kaleidoscope patterns in Sasuke's eyes were spinning faster and faster, and black lightning was constantly being summoned. This lightning, which was fatal upon contact, was constantly repairing the long sword in Sasuke's hand under the effect of Kenbutsu no Mi.

At this moment, Sasuke single-handedly cut down four monsters, leaving them in a sorry state.

"Is this the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Karin turned around and saw this scene, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

However, Neji's expression was not optimistic at this moment, because in his vision, Sasuke's chakra was being consumed at an alarming rate. At the same time, Sasuke's vision, which was shared with him through the device created by Tenten, also began to blur slowly.

"No, I have to go and meet him," Neji said. "You guys protect the client!"

"Understood." Sakura nodded.

Under Sasuke's continuous attacks, only one of the four monsters remained. The other three monsters were completely destroyed by the annihilation power attached to the Mu-no-Machi. However, Sasuke had somewhat overestimated his remaining chakra. Although the Mangekyou Sharingan was powerful, his body, which had only recently awakened, could not withstand such consumption. After splitting the body of the last monster in two, the black longswords in Sasuke's hands also shattered into pieces and dissipated into the air.

At that moment, the last monster, with only half its body remaining, roared and transformed into a green streak of light, rushing towards the direction where Shion was.

"Return to Heaven!" Neji roared, blocking the opponent's path. His body began to spin continuously, and chakra surged from various acupoints, forming a huge blue sphere to try to block the attack.
