Chapter 96 Let him die here! (2.8k views)

"Wind Release: Breakthrough!"

A violent gust of wind erupted from Ye Cang's mouth, instantly blowing the three people in the formation off course.

At this moment, all three of them were almost at their limit.

Especially Uchiha Inahi.

His right arm, along with half of his body, looked as if it had been completely dried out by the high temperature, with the skin and flesh charred and cracked.

The senses that once belonged to my flesh and blood were rapidly fading away, and my entire right arm felt so heavy that it no longer belonged to me.

The situation for the other two is equally dire.

Although Teacher Chen and Maruboshi Kosuke did not suffer the same severe burns from the Scorching Release as Uchiha Inahi.

However, after these repeated battles, his chakra and stamina gradually depleted, almost to the point of exhaustion.

"This is really...it's going to kill me."

Teacher Chen clutched his lower back with one hand, grimacing as he looked at Ye Cang across from him.

Compared to the three of them, Ye Cang, although he also had a few more scratches, was in much better overall condition and still retained considerable fighting power.

Teacher Chen couldn't help but sigh, and said with a wry smile, "If I can make it back alive this time, I will definitely retire immediately. I will never take on such a deadly mission again."

"Hehehe—" Maruhoshi Kosuke shook his head, seemingly agreeing with his idea, and said in a low voice, "We still have to get back alive first—"

At this point, Kosuke Maruhoshi paused slightly, his cloudy yet still sharp eyes suddenly looking into the distance.

"Has it finally arrived?"

Upon hearing this, the people inside the Four Purple Flame Formation were startled almost simultaneously, and then looked into the distance in unison.

A massive, violent, and ominous chakra is approaching at an alarming speed.

Even from this distance, one can almost feel its power.

"Has Shukaku arrived?"

Yecang's initial frustration from the prolonged battle subsided slightly at this moment.

My thoughts drifted back to the time when Shukaku went berserk.

With the assistance of subsequent support, the enraged Shukaku was finally resealed.

After that, the village thoroughly investigated the cause and course of Shukaku's rampage.

The culprits were none other than Orochimaru of Konoha, and the mysterious man beside him who always kept his identity hidden.

In addition, there was a mysterious person who suddenly appeared during the escape of the Konoha ninjas and attempted to steal Shukaku's chakra.

"green".

The village also took this opportunity to make a deal with Shukaku.

Sunagakure can forgive Shukaku for its rampage and destruction of the village, but in exchange, Shukaku must assist Sunagakure in defeating Konoha.

The Sand Village will also help it capture Orochimaru and that "Blue".

Thinking of this, a smile finally appeared on Ye Cang's lips.

Shukaku has arrived.

On the other hand, Konoha only has Orochimaru.

The outcome is decided.

"I'm still too slow—"

Yecang withdrew his gaze and looked again at the three nearly exhausted Konoha ninjas before him. His voice gradually calmed down: "Although I don't know your names, I will remember you."

"Shukaku has appeared. This battle is won by Sunagakure."

She raised her hands again, and chakra quickly gathered.

"Scorching Release: Over-Steaming —"

However, just as she was about to complete the hand seals and prepare to completely end the three of them, the Four Purple Flame Array suddenly trembled violently.

hum! ! !

The purple flames on the surface of the barrier flickered wildly, as if they had been subjected to some kind of powerful impact. Then, cracks spread out from the edge of the barrier.

next second.

The entire barrier vanished with a roar!

The Sand Village army outside the barrier also paused.

Ye Cang, who was inside the seal, was naturally also taken aback by this sudden change.

"Um?"

Ye Cang raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked at the Konoha people.

How could the barrier suddenly be lifted?

Is it that they can no longer hold on?

But when she looked closely, she found that Konoha's reaction did not seem like a forced collapse at all.

On the contrary, it seemed as if they had anticipated this moment.

Almost the instant the barrier was lifted, all the Konoha ninja simultaneously assumed defensive stances to withstand the impact, explosion, and storm.

What's going on?

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

Just as Yecang was wondering, a strong wind rose again.

An even more powerful shockwave swept in from afar, and sand and dust surged like waves, instantly engulfing half the battlefield.

The Sand Village troops almost instinctively raised their hands to shield themselves, trying to steady themselves in the strong wind.

She leaped back several times to block the Sand Village troops at the forefront, single-handedly shielding the ninjas behind her from the aftershocks of the storm.

Ye Cang narrowed his eyes slightly, trying hard to see the source of the storm.

However, what came into view was a terrifying giant snake with eight ferocious heads, its entire body covered in white scales, and its size even comparable to that of Shukaku!

"What is this thing?!"

Yecang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, subconsciously looking at the Konoha people, trying to find the answer on their faces.

But all she got in response was the sight of the Konoha people quickly retreating from the battlefield.

"Feed..."

""

Just as she was about to order a pursuit, the aftershocks swept across again, forcefully halting the advance of the Sunagakure forces.

Amidst the raging winds and dust, the remnants of Konoha's First Front, already struggling and few in number, activated their pre-prepared summoning jutsu under the leadership of Maruboshi Kosuke.

boom! boom! boom!

White smoke exploded one after another.

Several enormous, psychic serpents burst forth from the sky.

They opened their gaping maws and swallowed the remaining Konoha ninja whole, then suddenly burrowed into the ground and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, it's Orochimaru's snake!"

Yekura could only watch helplessly as the Konoha army withdrew with the help of the Summoning Orochi.

He wanted to order a pursuit immediately, but when he caught a glimpse of the two enormous creatures in the center, he involuntarily stopped.

That eight-headed serpent—

What kind of technique is it?

Is it also one of Orochimaru's techniques?

Ye Cang's eyes flickered as he quickly weighed the options in his mind.

Pursuing the Konoha ninjas is certainly important.

However, if those two behemoths were to engage in a full-scale war, the Sand Village forces at the center of the battlefield would inevitably be drawn into it.

In that case, the casualties will only be more severe.

After a moment, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Let's rendezvous with the main force first."

"Another snake?!"

Shukaku stared intently at the Yamata no Orochi on the cliff ahead, its enormous eyes filled with rage and fury.

It had absolutely no liking for snakes.

What's more, this thing in front of me clearly carries Orochimaru's disgusting smell.

"Damn Orochimaru!"

Shukaku roared and leaped up, raising its claws to strike the giant snake.

boom!

With a single claw strike, the earth cracked.

However, the eight snake heads were extremely agile, coiling, dodging, and biting.

In the blink of an eye, they were entangled in a fierce battle.

The night, already immersed in the roar of war, was pushed to an even higher intensity.

The earth trembled continuously, and sand and dust obscured the sky and the moon.

The giant claws tore through the white scales, and the snake's head bit into the tailed beast.

Each collision felt like a mini-earthquake.

Each roll grinds the rocks into powder.

However, a slightly stronger ninja could see that the two were not truly evenly matched.

Although Shukaku was fierce, tearing at the white snake's body with each claw, ripping off large patches of white scales and flesh, the Yamata no Orochi seemed to feel no pain at all.

Instead of retreating, they advanced.

The more they fight, the fiercer they become.

The more they fought, the more ferocious they became.

Even after Shukaku cut off one of its snake heads, the flesh and blood surged from the severed wound, and in the blink of an eye, a new head grew back.

"The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique—"

"Is this a forbidden technique developed by Orochimaru?!"

While dodging the aftershocks of the battle, Chiyo stared intently at the giant white-scaled serpent, her heart trembling with fear.

When did Orochimaru master such a technique that is enough to contend with the tailed beasts?

That amount of chakra is simply astonishing.

Chiyo was secretly alarmed.

The Eight-Headed Serpent Technique.

She had never even heard of it before.

Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, had hidden such a trump card so well.

Now, once unleashed, it is powerful enough to confront a tailed beast head-on.

This is no longer just a simple forbidden technique.

"Little devil—"

Chiyo spoke up instinctively, originally hoping to extract some information from the Hyuga boy to see if Orochimaru's move had any side effects or limitations on its duration.

But when she looked at the spot where Hinata Seiran had been standing, she discovered...

Who's left there?

Not only Hyuga Aoran, but the remaining Konoha ninjas had also vanished completely along with him.

On the ground, only the traces of a large snake's winding crawl remained.

"Spiritual communication technique, huh?!"

Chiyo's expression darkened slightly, her thoughts churning rapidly.

Konoha has completely withdrawn.

Now, only Shukaku and the Yamata no Orochi remain on this battlefield, locked in a fierce battle.

Could it be that Orochimaru had foreseen all of this all along?

Using the summoning snake to cover the retreat of Konoha's position, and relying on this forbidden technique, he single-handedly held off the entire Sunagakure village.

That's just wishful thinking...

"Elder Chiyo, what should we do?" The captain of the Sunagakure puppet squad quickly came to Chiyo's side after noticing the disappearance of the Konoha troops and asked.

"..." Chiyo's eyes flickered, and she said, "Let's rendezvous with the main force first. Since Orochimaru wants to make a name for himself with this ninjutsu and become a hero of Konoha—"

"Then let him die here."
