Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 153 The Land of Wind, A Crushing Defeat
Unfortunately, times have changed. Simply overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers is no longer meaningful. No, it is still useful, but it may require tens or hundreds of times more numbers to achieve that overwhelming effect, much like the battle between modern technology and primitive civilizations.

If those primitive people are fearless and numerous enough to exhaust the firepower reserves of the entire modern civilization with their flesh and blood, then there is still a certain hope of victory, regardless of how difficult it is, let alone whether it is possible.

"Something's not right. How can the Land of Fire's army be so strong? They're completely different from the ones we've seen before!"

Luo Sha said in disbelief, "How could the strength of these soldiers have increased to this level in such a short time?"

He witnessed firsthand an ordinary soldier, wielding a weapon, slaughtering his soldiers like mowing grass, as if those soldiers were not human, but grass, utterly powerless to resist.

Although a large part of the reason was that the overall quality of his soldiers was too poor, no matter how poor they were, they were still ninjas. They were fearless ninjas who could be resurrected. They had already fought desperately, so they couldn't possibly be that weak!
Roar!
Just then, a huge roar rang out, and a small figure began to swell. In the blink of an eye, a huge tailed beast appeared on the battlefield.

Tailed Beast Transformation - Ultimate Form!

"Roar!"

Shukaku roared, looked at the ninjas present, and immediately began its attack.

"Great! It's a tailed beast! We're saved!"

"Cuck!"

The soldiers of the Land of Wind were immediately invigorated by this scene. Their morale, which had been low due to the defeat, began to rise rapidly. However, the next moment, before Shukaku could launch an attack, several figures appeared beside Shukaku. Then, black chains surged from these figures and bound Shukaku in the blink of an eye.

"Roar! You damned humans, I'm going to blast you to pieces!!!"

Shukaku roared angrily and struggled, the chains stretched taut, but then nothing came out; he couldn't break free. Meanwhile, a large number of incantations were surging from the chains, climbing onto Shukaku's body, and beginning to interfere with and seal his power.

"Quickly, help our Jinchūriki!"

Some soldiers from the Land of Wind rushed over like madmen, trying to break the seal and unleash their powerful fighting force. However, they were killed on the spot by the soldiers from the Land of Fire before they could even get close.

"Damn it!"

Rasa cursed angrily. He hadn't expected Gaara to be so useless, and Shukaku to be just as useless. Even in their perfect form, they couldn't do anything. Useless, utterly useless.

He immediately wanted to go and support Shukaku. Although he seemed useless, he knew that Jinchuriki were actually very powerful.

"Where to, Rosa?"

Several figures appeared in front of Luo Sha.

"Get out of the way!" Rasa said, his face grim as he looked at the group of ninjas.

"Get out of the way? Haha, you can barely protect yourself, and you still want to rescue your Jinchūriki? Heh, worry about yourself first! Attack!"

Upon hearing Rasa's words, Uchiha Tekka laughed, mocking Rasa's overestimation of his abilities. The next moment, his aura exploded, and the Sage Chakra stored within his body was instantly released, turning his entire body golden. At the same time, the other ninjas beside him also activated Sage Mode and rushed towards Rasa on the spot.

boom!
The battle began in an instant. Rasa immediately used Magnet Release to condense gold dust to counterattack. However, his attack was useless against these powerful ninjas who had activated Sage Mode and possessed extremely strong defenses. They easily shattered his attack and appeared before him.

boom!
The next moment, a fist radiating golden light slammed into Rasa's abdomen. Terrifying power erupted, and Rasa's body arched like a lobster before exploding into gold dust.

Clone technique!
Then, in an instant, the sky filled with yellow sand, spinning wildly, transforming into a storm millstone that obscured everything, enveloping the bodies of these ninjas.

Magnetic Escape·Golden Burial
In the blink of an eye, these ninjas were buried deep in the gold dust. Then a huge explosion rang out. Before it was over, Rasa immediately tried to release other ninjutsu, but it was too late. The figures rushed out of the ground again and attacked Rasa.

"Damn it, these guys are even more troublesome than before, terrifying!"

Seeing this, Luo Sha thought with a grim expression that everything that was happening was completely different from what he had imagined. It should have been them crushing the Land of Fire with a massive army that far outnumbered the Land of Fire's army, using human wave tactics to destroy the Land of Fire.

These high-ranking officials should just stand back and watch, instead of the situation deteriorating so drastically that they have to step in. This shouldn't be the case.

Rasa was ultimately just a ninja, not a god, and did not possess absolute power. Faced with the attacks of these powerful ninjas who had activated Sage Mode, he quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

"what!"

With a painful scream, Rasa's abdomen was pierced by a kunai. At the same time, his hands were grabbed by two ninjas, who pulled him down with force. Then, one of the ninjas struck him in the chest with a palm, completely sealing Rasa's power.

The mastermind behind the Wind Kingdom has thus fallen.

With Rasa's defeat, the so-called army of the Land of Wind was also defeated in a very short time. Their morale was completely gone, and many soldiers surrendered on the spot. After all, their leader had been beaten to a pulp. If they didn't surrender, would they continue to fight for their lives?
They don't have that kind of will.

Many soldiers, from the very beginning, had no desire to fight; they were forced onto the battlefield. The reason they appear to have high morale and don't seem like true ragtag soldiers is only because of the promises Luo Sha made to them and the possibility of resurrection.

The Land of Wind suffered a crushing defeat!

In this war, the Wind Kingdom suffered a casualty rate of 40%, with nearly half of its soldiers being annihilated and entering the resurrection process. In contrast, the Fire Kingdom suffered a casualty rate of less than 10%. Yes, less than 10%.

There was no comparison between the soldiers of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire. One ordinary soldier from the Land of Fire was worth a hundred ordinary soldiers from the other side. This battle could not even be called a battle; it was more like a one-sided massacre.
