Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 295 Victory, Enemy Attack

"Excellent, truly excellent!"

Lightning Release Clone - White Fang was very satisfied with the new Lightning Release ninjutsu, Ruined Lightning. It truly lived up to its reputation as a single-attribute chakra ninjutsu that reached the level of Kekkei Tota.

Perhaps because he followed the extreme path, every single-attribute ninjutsu that reached the level of bloodline elimination was terrifyingly powerful.

Wind Release: Slash - A terrifying slash capable of cutting through molecules; virtually no matter or energy can withstand it.

Earth Release: Mass Technique grants the user an imaginary mass and the density that imaginary mass should have, instantly solidifying the body of the Earth Release clone - Rock into a superhuman steel body.

Fire Release: Amaterasu, a flame capable of burning everything, capable of incinerating both matter and energy.

Even though not many people died from the fire in the original story, no one could withstand the damage from Amaterasu's flames without reacting.

The Water Release: Infiltration Technique has not yet been fully developed.

However, judging from the current results, once successfully developed, it can instantly penetrate all substances, making them as fragile as tofu, while still possessing terrifying power.

Finally, there's Lightning Release: Lightning of Ruin. Its attack effect is somewhat similar to Kaguya Otsutsuki's All-Killing Ash Bones, which can alter the nature of matter and energy, turning it into a gray powdery substance with a decaying smell.

The scene just now has already demonstrated how terrifying this ninjutsu is.

Even if they can't learn the Bloodline Limit in the future, as long as they can use Sage Chakra, these single-attribute Bloodline Limit Elimination level ninjutsu, enhanced by Sage Chakra, can still leave Six Paths level powerhouses dumbfounded.

"Thinking about it that way, I'm freaking amazing!"

Lightning Release clone - White Fang looked up at the sky, and Sasori's giant puppet heart, hidden in the sand and iron clouds, had also turned into gray powder.

He had previously overestimated Scorpion's power and underestimated his own weakness.

Even if Scorpion achieves great success in the art of puppetry, he poses no threat to Scorpion. To kill Scorpion, one needs both soul and matter; Scorpion has both methods of annihilation, and Scorpion simply cannot withstand them.

The one who should be worried is Scorpion, not him.

At that moment, Scorpion looked down at the gray powder flying everywhere and ran away without looking back.

He is afraid!

The opponent's gray lightning attack was too unstoppable; if he were hit by it, he would be instantly reduced to ashes.

"Hmm... that kid ran away."

Below, Orochimaru sensed Sasori's escape as soon as he did. Now that he possessed Wood Release cells, his chakra perception ability had become much stronger.

"Should we go after him, Zuo Yun-kun?"

Orochimaru looked at his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, a glint of fervor flashing in his eyes. He was still very interested in Sasori's puppet heart that absorbed natural energy.

The battles of the past year also allowed him to discover why Scorpion was able to absorb natural energy; it was all because of that thing called the Puppet Heart.

Once he obtains that thing, he can research how to absorb natural energy and develop his own immortal techniques.

By then, with the blessing of Sage Chakra, his Wood Release will possess some of the grandeur of the God of Shinobi.

Instead of now, where we can't even stop a kid's combination ninjutsu, let alone Zakumo-kun's Destruction Lightning.

Orochimaru craves power and desires to learn more ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, human strength has its limits; he alone could not defeat the Red Sand Scorpion.

"No need to chase." Lightning Release Clone - White Fang shook his head and said, "The other side has ninjas with chakra sensing abilities, and they already know my abilities. They won't fall from the sky to give me a chance to attack."

"Sigh!" Orochimaru sighed upon hearing this, then said, "Then let's split up and support the various bases."

"Alright, I'll go this way." Lightning Release clone - White Fang nodded, separated from Orochimaru, and ran off to the left.

Before coming here, Lightning Release clone White Fang had already memorized the approximate distribution of the strongholds. Now, all he needs to do is head towards the nearest strongholds to provide support.

"We won!"

"Lord Orochimaru and Lord Saikumo have won!"

"That Sasori of the Red Sand has been driven away!"

Soon, the three Konoha ninjas who remained at the base spread the news that Orochimaru and his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, had defeated Sasori of the Red Sand.

This is a battle that will boost morale and inspire people, and it will also sweep away the gloom of the past.

After this battle, Konoha will launch a counterattack, and victory will tilt in their favor.

……

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"kill!"

"Fire Release..."

Unaware that Sasori's side had been defeated, the Sand Ninja launched a full-scale attack on Konoha's various strongholds, and a great battle was instantly ignited.

Located halfway up a mountain in the north, this important Konoha stronghold serves as a command and support center connecting various strongholds in the northern region, providing a panoramic view of the surrounding area.

At this moment, the area was attacked by a ten-person elite squad led by Yekura.

It can't really be called an attack. The Konoha ninjas at this important stronghold were not only numerous, numbering twenty, but also included ninjas from the Hyuga and Aburame clans who were highly skilled in sensory perception.

The arrival of Yekura and her group had already been discovered by the Konoha ninja, who had prepared traps and were just waiting for Yekura to enter.

Fortunately, Yekura's years of combat experience were not for nothing. She had already investigated the importance of this stronghold and knew that it would not be so easy to launch a successful sneak attack.

She didn't expect to succeed with a sneak attack.

On the contrary, her fighting philosophy, heavily influenced by her brother-in-law, led her to rely on overwhelming strength in direct confrontations.

"Scorching Release - Thermobaric Blast!"

From a distance of several hundred meters, Yecang threw a red, high-temperature compressed sphere into the air above the Konoha base.

Boom!

The sphere, compressed by high temperature, burst open instantly, and the heat inside spread to the surroundings. The temperature reached as high as 2,000 degrees Celsius, which not only evaporated all the water vapor instantly, but also burned the tree inside to ashes.

A few seconds later, all that remained of the barren, hot ground halfway up the mountain was a scorching, blackened smoky expanse of ground.

bump!

Two figures suddenly burst out from the ground; they were Konoha ninjas who had been hiding underground, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Just as the two emerged from the ground, kunai and shuriken, gleaming with cold light, shot out from the woods ahead.

The two immediately jumped backward, one of them forming a hand seal as he jumped.

"Ninja Art - Shadow Sewing Technique!"

A dozen tentacle-like shadows shot out from beneath the feet of the Nara clan ninja, knocking down kunai and shuriken flying from the air.

"Get out of the way!"

Before the two could land, the urgent voices of their Hyuga clan companions came from behind. Nara U's expression changed, and the tentacle shadows beneath his feet wrapped around him and his companions, lifting them upwards.

Just as their bodies were lifted up, a thin red ray swept past.

"what!"

In mid-air, Nara Yu let out a muffled groan, ultimately failing to completely evade Yekura's high-temperature compressed heat rays.

thump!

His bloodied calf broke off at the knee and fell to the ground, causing Nara Usakata to lose his balance and fall to the ground as well.

"Ninja Art - Insect Demon Tool Technique!"

"Earth Release-Earth Formation Wall!"

The Aburame clan used their secret technique to disrupt chakra perception and the Earth Wall Technique almost simultaneously, disrupting Pakura and the others' chakra perception and briefly separating them from each other.

Taking this opportunity, Shiguro Aburame picked up Nara Usaka from the ground and ran toward his companions.

"Nishiyama, hurry up and stop the bleeding for Usumasa," Aburame Shiguro said quickly as he put down Nara Usumasa.

The medical ninja Nishiyama rushed forward, only to find that the flesh and blood from the wound had already been carbonized by the high temperature, and the blood was blocked.

But he still quickly used his palm magic to heal the wound.

The wound from being cut by the high-temperature compressed heat rays was extremely painful, but thankfully Nara Usaka was able to withstand it, and so far he had only groaned once at first without screaming.
