Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 92 Powerful Water Release Technique

The massive flow of water created a terrifying flood impact.

Akasago and Sarashima were unable to dodge at all and were swept away by the flood before they could run a short distance, along with their puppets.

Once the floodwaters receded, the formation the two had formed with their puppets was completely destroyed, and many of the puppets were left far away.

At the same time, the surrounding environment turned into a vast swamp, with the water level reaching waist-deep.

Akasago and Sarashima lay in the water, struggling to stand up from the ground. They then quickly waved their ten fingers, trying to use the chakra threads connected to the puppets to gather the scattered puppets back to their side.

But by then, Kirito's new ninjutsu had already been completed, giving them no chance to regroup.

Two enormous whirlpools of water suddenly appeared, engulfing Akasago, Sarashima, and their puppets.

Water Release: Water Soaring Feather!

For a moment, Akasago and Sarashima struggled in the huge whirlpool of water, but in this terrifying whirlpool, their superb puppetry skills were useless. The invisible and lifeless water was not afraid of their puppets that concealed a large number of deadly weapons.

Left with no other choice, the two had to abandon puppetry and turn to ninjutsu to save themselves.

As elite Jonin of Sunagakure, the two were not only skilled in puppetry, but also proficient in one or two ninjutsu. However, compared to puppetry, which was more convenient for them to kill enemies, they rarely used ninjutsu in battle.

Among them, Red Sand possesses two chakra natures: Earth Release and Wind Release, while Sandstorm possesses two chakra natures: Fire Release and Lightning Release.

Akaza began forming hand seals, unleashing an Earth Release ninjutsu that she hadn't used in a long time.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

A huge earthen wall suddenly appeared beneath him, lifting him out of the swirling water.

But as soon as he managed to escape the whirlpool, he despairingly discovered that he had merely moved from one desperate situation to another.

Around him, five enormous water dragons were watching him intently, letting out silent roars.

"Feel despair; this is the price you pay for provoking me."

Kirito stood on the head of one of the water dragons, looking at Akasuna with icy eyes, and said coldly.

The next moment, the remaining four water dragons suddenly pounced on the red sand.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Seeing the water dragon surging towards him, Akashi quickly formed hand seals again and used Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall once more.

However, he only managed to create two earthen walls for defense using this earth-style ninjutsu.

The two earthen walls successfully blocked the two water dragons. Of the remaining two water dragons, one was blocked by the puppet he quickly summoned with the Summoning Scroll using the Puppet Technique: Mechanical Light Shield. As for the last one, he didn't have time to use any other means to block it, so he could only jump up to dodge.

"Too naive."

Kirito watched Akasuna struggle and sneered.

Once again, he used five seals in one second and successfully released the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique with a small amount of chakra.

A new water dragon suddenly burst out from the whirlpool of water beneath the red sand, instantly biting him as he was caught in mid-air with nowhere to hold on, carrying him high into the sky before crashing heavily to the ground.

A huge crater immediately appeared on the ground, and Akasa was lying unconscious in the center of the crater.

The surrounding water flow quickly engulfed the deep pit, and a trace of blood quickly appeared in the murky water.

"Red Sand!"

At the same time, Sandstorm used a wind-style ninjutsu that could create tornadoes to free herself from the swirling water by self-harm. She witnessed the entire process of being carried into the air by the water dragon and then falling to the ground, and immediately let out a cry of anger and grief.

"Your turn, woman."

Kirito stared coldly at Suna and said.

As he spoke, he completed the hand seals in a second and successfully used Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique once again.

"Unforgivable!"

Sandstorm roared angrily, then quickly formed hand seals, preparing to unleash a powerful lightning ninjutsu to take Kirito down with him.

But before she could finish forming the hand seals, she was bitten by a water dragon that rushed out of the vortex below.

The heavy, high-pressure water flow inside the water dragon instantly interrupted Sandstorm's ninjutsu release, then carried her into the sky before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Red Sand..."

Sandstorm lay on the ground, covered in wounds. She looked with difficulty at the spot where Akasuna had fallen, and quickly lost consciousness in resentment.

"Lord Akasa, Lord Saran."

Seeing that Akasuna and Sunagakure had been defeated one after another, some Sunagakure ninjas with only Chunin strength could no longer hide. They emerged from the shadows, wanting to rescue Akasuna and Sunagakure from Kirito.

But Kirito didn't need to make a move at all. Some Rain Ninja who had already arrived immediately took the initiative to block them, preventing them from getting close to the battlefield.

"You scum, don't even think about bothering Lord Zhengcheng."

"That's right, Lord Masashige is not someone you piece of trash can mess with."

"Stop, you foolish Sand Ninja. The outcome of this unfair battle is already decided. You despicable Sand Village have lost."

On the other side, in a large tree not far away, Jiraiya was watching the situation on the battlefield through binoculars.

Seeing that the battle had been decided, he said with a solemn expression, "This time, Sunagakure has really suffered a crushing defeat. They underestimated Hattori Masanari's strength too much, and they were so arrogant as to fight him in a place with a river. They really overestimated themselves."

With his sharp eyesight, how could he not see that this battle was a complete rout?

He recognized the two puppeteers from Sunagakure; they were no ordinary people. Countless Konoha ninja had died at their hands on the battlefield of the Land of Wind, including more than a dozen Jonin.

Even for him, if he were to accidentally find himself alone and encounter two people, his life might be in danger.

However, the two were defeated so thoroughly in this battle because they underestimated the strength of a powerful water-style ninja in a watery environment.

At the start of the battle, Kirito stunned them with a Waterfall Technique. Before they could retaliate, they were controlled by Kirito's Water Release: Water Flying Feather. They had no choice but to abandon their best puppet techniques and switch to ninjutsu to fight Kirito.

At this moment, Jiraiya realized that the outcome was already decided.

When a puppeteer abandons puppetry, he can already declare defeat.

If Jiraiya put himself in Kirito's shoes, he figured he could only rely on his summoning technique to summon a giant toad to fight Kirito in a place with water, and even then, he might not be able to win. Even if he did win, he definitely wouldn't be able to keep Kirito alive.

"Make a detailed record of the battle here, and then take the information back. Hattori Masanari, this Amegakure ninja, is not someone to be trifled with. At least within the Land of Rain, it's best to avoid any conflict with him."

Jiraiya turned to a Konoha ANBU ninja behind him and spoke.

"ha."

The ANBU ninja immediately nodded in agreement and then used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from the spot.

At the same time, ninjas from other villages lurking nearby also immediately sent people back to relay the news.

It's tough for a new author to get ahead, so I hope all my fellow readers will visit often to increase the readership. After you finish reading, I hope you'll vote for this book and invest in it. If you could give me some monthly tickets and rewards, I would be extremely grateful. It's so hard for a new author and a new book.
