This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 14 Fighting Ten

Rumble!!!

The burly man's massive body flew dozens of meters, crashing into buildings and kicking up a long cloud of dust, creating a spectacular scene.

The accompanying men scattered and launched their attacks.

A ninja raised his crescent-shaped blade, placed it flat in front of him, and aimed it at the boy.

After completing the hand seal with his left hand, he lowered his head and gently blew on the blade, releasing a gentle breath.

The breath swept across the blade, instantly turning it sharp and violent, forming countless, raging blades of wind that cut relentlessly.

Another Cloud Hermit held a sword in his right hand and formed a hand seal with his left, lightning crackling from the sword.

Then Yu Yin threw out two kunai, and then formed hand seals.

Flames erupted from behind the kunai, shooting out at incredible speed like a rocket, and in the blink of an eye, it shot up in front of the young man like a streak of fire.

The other ninjas also displayed their unique skills, hoping to defeat the boy in one round.

Thunder, flames, wind blades, water dragons, falling rocks, sharp swords, kunai... a dense barrage of attacks blocked all the surrounding space for escape, surging towards the boy like a tidal wave.

But faced with such a desperate situation, the boy smiled, and behind him, a dazzling light shone.

"Do you even know what a Railgun is?"

The overwhelming attack had already filled their field of vision, yet the boy was still uttering words that no one could understand.

They didn't laugh, they didn't doubt, they didn't even feel anything.

Because they were used to seeing dead people.

No one could survive such a combined attack, and this boy was no exception.

Although he was not dead yet, in these people's hearts, he was already a dead man.

With this thought in mind, the light behind the boy grew even brighter, and everyone instinctively covered their eyes.

boom!

A dazzling beam of light shot out, tearing through wind blades, extinguishing flames, slaying water dragons, shattering lightning, smashing rocks, melting weapons, and annihilating flesh... The brilliant beam of light streaked across the sky, illuminating the horizon.

That basketball-thick beam of destructive light, though fired from below, destroyed countless buildings simply by generating wind.

No sooner said than done.

The beam of the railgun flashed and disappeared in an instant.

But the devastation left behind left people stunned for a long time.

The wind whipped up by this beam of light tore the street, stretching for hundreds of meters, in half.

Fortunately, the war had already been going on for a while.

Although not everyone has escaped to the shelter, the area near the battlefield is already deserted.

Otherwise, this single shot would have resulted in countless deaths and injuries.

shhhhhh! ! !

More than a dozen figures landed beside the boy from high above.

They stared in horror at the ripped-up street.

"You all go back and guard the gate. I can manage here on my own," the boy said calmly.

Everyone looked at the boy and the tall war chariot behind him, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Lady Ayaki, won't you be alright alone...?"

"Nothing will happen here. The front lines are much tougher, and that's where you're needed more."

Young man, no, he should be called Ryuji Ayaki.

He did not know the enemy's location.

But since we've guessed that their goal is to breach the Sand Village Gate from within, we'll be able to wait for them by guarding the only way to the gate.

Ryuji ordered the Sand Village ninja who came to provide support: "I am a Jonin. I now order you to quickly return to the gate to defend it."

Upon hearing this solemn order, the Sand Village ninjas said no more and immediately obeyed and left.

"You shouldn't have let them go."

Standing on a pile of ruins, Shou looked over. Seeing Long Er looking over, he continued, "That weapon behind you is indeed powerful, but it only caught us off guard. Now that we're prepared, we won't be so easily taken advantage of again."

Although he hadn't paid attention when it rushed over, Kari noticed it.

When this weapon is fired, it takes several seconds from the moment the light illuminates to the moment the beam is emitted.

Although they didn't keep track of the exact number of seconds, that was enough time for them to dodge in advance. Such a cumbersome weapon simply couldn't keep up with the speed of a ninja.

"You can give it a try."

Ryuji spoke with a faint smile, but his eyes darted around, observing the enemy's situation.

Including the burly man from Iwagakure who rushed back, there were eight people left, surrounding him in extremely spread-out positions.

Upon hearing this, Shou fell silent.

Although they were prepared for that powerful weapon, they didn't know what other tricks the opponent had up their sleeve.

That tank is so big, it should be able to carry a lot of weapons.

Ryuji's calm expression and tone made him wary.

However, continuing to drag this out would be disadvantageous for them.

"...This kid is bluffing." After a moment of thought, Kari said, "Troy, Narita, you two stay with me and draw their fire from the front. The rest of you attack from behind. Whether it's a person or that tank, take one out first."

"yes!"

No one objected this time.

As soon as the order was given, everyone sprang into action.

Kari and Narita... that tall, thin ninja from Kusagakure who wields a crescent-shaped sword.

They filed out one after the other and charged head-on towards Long Er.

Troy then took out a scroll, from which he retrieved three large shuriken and hurled them at Ryuji.

The rest of the men scattered, attempting to attack from the left, right, and even from behind.

"I'm telling you guys..."

Long Er, picking his ear, said nonchalantly, "Although I'm weak, it's really disrespectful of you to discuss tactics in front of me!"

No one paid any attention to this sarcastic remark.

Three large shuriken flew past Gari and Narita, whistling fiercely as they approached.

Ryuji chuckled softly, raised his right hand, and three chakra threads spread out, connecting to the shuriken in his hand.

Then, with a pull and a tug.

The shuriken suddenly turned, drawing a semicircle in the air, and flew rapidly toward the others.

The three ninjas were caught off guard by the attack from behind and were cut in half at the waist, while the shuriken continued its momentum to slice towards the other two.

"Be careful!"

The belated warning saved the lives of the remaining two... The burly man from the rock cave once again used the Rock Fist technique, using his thick stone arm to knock away the shuriken.

Another Cloud Village ninja nimbly leaped up, dodging the fatal blow.

However, the crisis is not over.

The shuriken that were knocked away, the shuriken that were dodged... they were pulled back by the chakra threads and attacked from bizarre angles.

Having just escaped a close call and thinking they were safe, the two breathed a sigh of relief, completely unprepared for this unexpected counterattack.

It seems that these two are also destined to be cut in half.

Kari and Narita desperately rushed towards Ryuji, hoping to arrive before their companion was cut in half at the waist and kill him.

Troy then formed hand seals.

Suddenly, the three large shuriken seemed to be attracted to each other like magnets, abruptly stopping in mid-air before sticking together.

"Bang!"

Three large shuriken landed heavily on the ground.

Kari and Narita also charged forward.

Long Er snorted coldly, flicked his right hand, and the three large shuriken that had been attracted together were thrown at the two of them like cannonballs.
