The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 218 Little White Takes Flight, Qin Ye Confronts the Gun-Style Pig-Deer-Butterfly (Two-in-One)

The wind and snow intensified, with howling north winds carrying snowflakes that danced wildly in the air.

The world was a vast expanse of white. Kakuzu staggered as he fled through the snow, his heavy breaths turning into puffs of white mist in the bitter cold. His robes were already soaked through with ice and snow, covered with tiny ice crystals.

Suddenly, a piercing sound tore through the air, and a lightning dragon composed of thunderbolts swooped down from the sky, its violent currents instantly vaporizing the snowflakes along its path.

Kakuzu's expression hardened, and he rolled on the spot, tumbling several times in a disheveled manner. The Thunder Dragon grazed his clothes and crashed down, the shards of ice that splashed up like blades, leaving a bloody gash on his cheek.

"Ptooey."

Kakuzu spat out the slush in his mouth, and before he could even get up, he heard a dense clatter of footsteps all around him.

The Konoha and Kumogakure ninjas surrounded them in a fan shape. The leading Kumogakure ninja formed hand seals, and lightning was gathering in his palms. Clearly, the lightning dragon from earlier was what he had unleashed.

The Raikage convened a meeting of the Five Kage, but only Konoha explicitly expressed its willingness to cooperate. The attitudes of the other three were ambiguous, neither agreeing nor refusing.

After all, apart from Konoha and Kumogakure, the other three clans currently have no conflict with Qin Ye and his group.

Although I won't be putting in any effort, I can still share some basic information.

According to the Raikage's description, the Tsuchikage, who had previously made deals with the Akatsuki, revealed the Akatsuki's identity, but he only knew one part of it and not the other.

He only knew that Akatsuki was an international mercenary organization that accepted war contracts, assassinations, and other services, but he had no idea why they were capturing tailed beasts.

"Kakuzu, give up resistance and reveal the hiding place of your accomplices, and I can beg the Raikage to show you leniency!" The leader of the Cloud Village Jonin, 'Tsuchishiro', shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Show leniency?" Kakuzu slowly straightened up, his eyes flashing with a terrifying ferocity beneath his frost-covered eyebrows.

He tore open his tattered shirt, revealing a body covered in stitches. Countless black threads surged wildly from the cracks in his limbs, mouth, nose, and even chest, dancing wildly in the wind and snow like living things.

The black lines of the Earth Grudge Demon twisted and coiled, emitting an extremely unsettling wriggling sound.

"If I weren't past my prime, would I have been forced into this state by you brats, forced to surrender? You dare to challenge me?!"

"Hmph, stubborn fool!" Tsuchishiro sneered. "Take him down, capture him alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of Cloud Village ninjas scattered instantly, their Lightning Release chakra drawing blinding blue light across the snow. Faced with such a lineup, Kakuzu, with only one heart, could only take the beating.

Just as the Cloud Village ninjas were about to surround them—

boom!
A longsword crackling with crimson lightning crashed into the battlefield like a meteor. The moment the blade pierced the frozen earth, a violent arc of electricity exploded outwards in a ring.

The crimson arc of lightning was not the usual azure blue of lightning release, but a blood-red color. Wherever it passed, the snow instantly vaporized, and the frozen soil cracked and turned black.

The ninjas who passed by didn't even have time to scream before they fell to the ground like puppets with broken strings.

Some people tried to withstand it with ninjutsu, but they convulsed and bled from their mouths and noses the moment they made contact. This was not an ordinary lightning release, but a more ferocious and violent power!
In the blink of an eye, a scorched vacuum zone was cleared in the center of the battlefield.

"night!"

Upon seeing the longsword covered in spiderweb-like cracks, seemingly on the verge of shattering, yet radiating a chilling aura, Kakuzu's murky eyes instantly lit up.

A hoarse laugh burst from his mouth, echoing in the cold air, carrying a sense of relief and exhilaration.

He knew very well whose knife it was.

"Who dares to hide here?" Tsuchishiro frowned, looking around. "Show yourself!"

"Hide your head and show your tail?"

A deep, cold voice suddenly boomed in everyone's ears, as if the speaker were right next to their backs.

As everyone was alarmed, a figure appeared out of nowhere, standing beside the long sword. No one could see how he appeared, just like the sword that was previously surrounded by crimson lightning.

Qin Ye's slender fingers rested on the hilt of the sword, and his pinkish-purple eyes, glowing with a reddish light, slowly swept over the crowd.

"You're looking for me, aren't you? You don't even recognize my knife? What if it gets used on you?"

The wind and snow formed a strange vortex around him, and crimson lightning reflected the falling snow as flying blood foam.

"How about this, I'll give you a chance." Qin Ye drew his Thousand Blades, the crimson lightning on the blade growing even more ferocious: "While my blade isn't too hungry yet."

He looked up, his pupils flashing with a chill more piercing than lightning.

"roll!"

The moment that word was uttered, the ninjas who had convulsed and collapsed while fighting against the Blade Master experienced the remaining crimson lightning within their bodies surging wildly, ravaging their flesh and blood. Their bodies instantly exploded, blood mist filled the air, and severed limbs were scattered all over the ground, creating a bloody and terrifying scene.

Such arrogant words drifted through the wind and snow, as if the ones surrounded at this moment were not Qin Ye and Kakuzu, but the combined forces of Konoha and Kumogakure.

But no one on the battlefield dared to rebuke Qin Ye's arrogance.

The horrifying scene just now was too shocking, not to mention that the intelligence showed that the man with the knife in front of him had captured the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki on his own. The latter was even forcibly abducted while surrounded by the Raikage and the elite of Kumogakure. Even the Raikage himself could not stop him.

In this ninja world where strength reigns supreme, such a record is enough to inspire awe in everyone.

The ninjas present had no choice but to be on high alert and dared not be careless in the slightest.

In the Konoha team, the burly Akimichi Tsutomu tightened his grip on the iron rod, his gaze fixed on Qin Ye.

"Is this the person who killed Kakashi?"

He spoke in a muffled, low voice, as if talking to himself.

The two men on his left and right sides were Yamanaka Tenshin of the Yamanaka clan and Nara Suzaku of the Nara clan.

The Akimichi, Yamanaka, and Nara clans are considered among the larger ninja clans in Konoha. They have a close relationship, often going on missions together, and their secret techniques complement each other, resulting in a high degree of cooperation.

Upon hearing Akimichi Tsutomu's words, Nara Suzaku said in a deep voice, "Black hair, black eyes, auspicious cloud robe, cracked sword, strange-colored lightning release, it should be him. This person's combat power is formidable. In a while, it will be the same as before: Tsutomu will take the lead in attacking, and I will hold him off. We will find an opportunity to turn around in three days."

“Okay.” Akimichi Tsutomu and Yamanaka Santen nodded almost simultaneously, responding briefly.

As everyone knows, the Nara family's greatest strength is not their shadow imitation skills, but their brilliant minds.

In ninja battles, ninjutsu is certainly important, but the key to victory lies in how to skillfully and rationally use ninjutsu to defeat the opponent.

The wind howled, the sky was high, and snowflakes danced wildly, making the battlefield atmosphere increasingly tense and fraught with danger.

Despite the biting cold wind, no one from the two villages uttered a word of protest, but they had already tacitly tightened their encirclement.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, that cannot be a reason for them to retreat.

Someone shouted, and a fierce battle was about to break out between the two sides.

Seeing the ninja charging forward, Kakuzu clicked his tongue and said, "Yoru, you didn't intimidate me, huh? Let's retreat?" Before he finished speaking, Qin Ye kicked Kakuzu, who hadn't even reacted yet, and sent him flying.

Don't leave your heart in the way.

Then, Qin Ye waved his hand, and Xiao Bai in her fox spirit form appeared. With a deafening roar, she transformed into a towering white fox and stepped onto the snow.

Its fluffy long fur blended into the swirling snow, with only its bright, lively eyes standing out.

The Cloud Village ninja at the forefront didn't even have time to react. He only felt the shadow cover him before he was smashed into a pulp by a claw, and his blood bloomed like a glaring red plum blossom on the snow.

Shiro's enormous body, comparable to a tailed beast, cast a huge shadow, pressing down on the nerves of the Allied Forces soldiers like a mountain. The warriors of Konoha and Kumogakure gasped in unison, the icy air stinging their lungs.

Who would have thought that the enemy was hiding a spirit beast?

However, the ninjas on the battlefield had considerable combat experience, so they remained calm despite their alarm. As the command sounded, a large number of ninjas simultaneously formed hand seals, their movements perfectly synchronized.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Countless streams of blazing fire intertwined in the air, transforming into a wall of flames that blotted out the sky. The fire curtain stretched for hundreds of meters, illuminating the entire battlefield in a fiery red, melting the ice and snow, and making the air unbearably hot.

Faced with this extremely wide-ranging fusion fire jutsu, Shiro simply raised his claws high and swung them down sharply.

laugh--

With a shriek as claws tore through the air, the violent airflow, like an invisible giant blade, cleaved the wall of fire in two. The scorching flames twisted and flowed past its side, without even scorching a single hair.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaobai used the same method against them, and clusters of cold, deep blue fireballs appeared beside it, 'whooshing' as they hurtled towards the crowd.

Those ninjas struck by the deep blue flames showed no burn marks on their bodies, yet suddenly let out heart-wrenching screams.

They felt their souls being burned, and this pain from the soul was countless times more intense than the physical pain.

A piercing scream echoed across the battlefield. The ninjas who were hit convulsed and fell to the ground as if their souls had been ripped out, gradually losing their breath.

Fire Release techniques can kill people; that's terrifying.
The bizarre scene terrified everyone, who carefully avoided the deep blue fireball, daring not to let the eerie blue flames touch them even slightly.

In the distance, Qin Ye watched as Xiao Bai single-handedly suppressed dozens of ninjas, a slight smile playing on his lips and a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

At least those resources weren't wasted.

His combat power improved too quickly. The old Xiaobai could not provide him with any support in battle except for saving his life, so most of the time he could only stay on his arm and wrist as a tattoo.

But now, Xiaobai's strength has changed, and even in his normal state, it would take him a lot of effort to defeat him.

Just as Qin Ye was enjoying watching Xiao Bai 'playing', he caught a glimpse of a slender shadow creeping silently toward his feet at an extremely tricky angle, about to merge with his own shadow.

"Shadow Imitation Technique?"

Qin Ye raised an eyebrow, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and instantly retreated.

However, just as he dodged, the light above his head suddenly went out.

Looking up, a towering figure leaped down from the sky, a thick iron rod in his hand carrying immense force, slamming down on him!
Before the iron rod even arrived, the violent wind pressure had already shaken apart the thick snow piled up on the ground, forming a snow mist, as if it were going to smash him directly into the ground.

With no way to avoid it, Qin Ye raised his sword to parry.

Dang! ! !
A deafening clang of metal clashing pierced the wind and snow. Qin Ye's knees sank, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed with a roar, spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly along his feet.

'That was a lot of force!'

Even with Qin Ye's formidable physique, he only felt a slight numbness in his tiger's mouth. The Akimichi clan's multiplication technique brought not only changes in physique, but also an exponential increase in strength.

As he could not help but think, the Nara clan's shadow imitation technique once again appeared at his feet.

Qin Ye slashed the blade, pulling the iron rod aside and slamming it to the ground with a 'bang'.

Having broken free from the suppression, he retreated rapidly, dodging the shadows and once again avoiding Akimichi Tsutomu's sweeping attack.

Then Qin Ye flipped over and leaped, landing steadily on the iron rod. Using it as a bridge, he sped upwards, the thousand blades in his hand flashing with a chilling light, aimed directly at Qiu Daosi Dong's neck.

Before the blade even arrived, the chilling aura of the blade made Akimichi Tsutomu's hair stand on end, and goosebumps rose on his neck.

If this strike lands, even if his neck becomes several times thicker due to his multiplication technique, he will still end up with his body severed from his head.

But just as the blade was about to sever Akito Shito's neck, a slender black shadow suddenly darted out from his back, swiftly crossing his shoulder like a venomous snake, and instantly connecting with the shadow of Qin Ye, who was stepping on his arm.

In that instant, Qin Ye's fluid and graceful slashing movements came to an abrupt halt.

"Shadow imitation, success!"

Nara Suzaku was overjoyed and immediately urged Yamanaka Santen, who was standing nearby, "Santen, quick, turn your heart around!"

The 'Mind Transfer Technique' is a unique ninjutsu of the Yamanaka clan. It allows one to release their spirit and possess the body of another, giving them free control over the other's body for a short period of time.

However, the released spirit can only move in a straight line, making it extremely difficult to accurately hit the target in the ever-changing and complex battles of a ninja.

The Nara clan's shadow imitation technique perfectly compensates for this weakness.

This is why the three ninja clans have a good relationship; they can compensate for each other's shortcomings in ninjutsu.

It's safe to say that once someone is controlled by the Mind Transfer Technique, they can basically say goodbye to riding a bicycle.

The three people in the mountains were also completely focused at this moment, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Seeing that Nara Suzaku was covered in sweat and his face was flushed, he knew that the enemy was very strong and that the Shadow Imitation Technique could not be controlled for long.

If the enemy breaks free of control and becomes prepared, it will be difficult to find such a perfect opportunity again.

Immediately, he opened his palms, with the tiger's mouth facing outwards, and his thumb and forefinger pressed together, forming a triangular hole aimed at Qin Ye, who was resting on Qiu Daosi Dong.

However, just as he was about to activate the Mind Transfer Technique, he discovered that the enemy had vanished from the void.

Three days later, he was startled and quickly looked around.

Before he could even focus his gaze, he heard Nara Suzaku's exclamation.

The next second, a surging wave of blood exploded in front of them!

With a huge head flying up, Akimichi Tsutomu crashed straight down in the wind and snow like a collapsing mountain peak, splashing up a sky full of red snow.
