The puppets of the four Sand Village ninjas began to turn red, as if they were about to melt at any moment.

However, they only showed a cold smile, not worry.

"We were prepared for this. All our puppets are made of the latest materials that are resistant to high temperatures and fire! They can even last a minute or two submerged in lava!"

That makes sense. Since they had already received the intelligence, they would naturally make the necessary preparations.

That's the advantage!

This drew frequent glances from others.

[Chapter 457: The River of Scorching Darkness in Two Prisons!]

Four puppets of different shapes broke through the high temperature and arrived beside Shanhu, then sprayed out countless poison needles from their hands.

Since they are all puppets, there is no need to worry about being accidentally injured.

However, Shanhu scoffed and clasped her hands together.

"Lava Spell: Coral Reef!"

As the power of the spell was transferred, a special black substance immediately precipitated on the surface of Shanhu's body, and then quickly solidified, as if it were covered with a thick layer of rock.

Countless poison needles struck it but were deflected, leaving not even a mark.

However, the Sand Village ninjas were completely unaffected; if the enemy were so easy to deal with, they wouldn't be gathered here now.

Chakra threads danced gracefully as several heat-resistant puppets immediately changed positions, launching high-strength steel cables from different parts of their bodies to firmly lock Shanhu's limbs and body while she was unable to move.

"Now!"

Seeing how effectively the people of Sunagakure were handling the enemy, the others couldn't sit still any longer and immediately took action.

Yamashiro Aoba and Namiashi Raido were both special Jonin sent by Konoha this time. The only difference was that Yamashiro Aoba arrived first. Later, the Hokage was worried that a small team could not handle the mission, so he sent Namiashi Raido to provide support.

It is also the only one of the three ninja villages that sent out two squads.

Under the combined attack of everyone, Shanhu's defenses were quickly broken.

However, the breaking of the coral reef also means that the volcano has been activated!

Suddenly, a large amount of lava erupted from the crater on the top of the coral head.

A Konoha ninja and an Iwagakure ninja were unable to dodge in time and were swallowed up by the scorching lava. They let out a scream and then fell silent.

Everyone immediately retreated, scrambling to dodge the lava raining down from the sky.

"Lava Spell: Annihilation Meteor!"

Shanhu slammed his fist into the ground, and then a large number of lava fireballs erupted out.

Each lava fireball is at least 5 meters in diameter, and anyone hit by it will either die or be seriously injured!

Furthermore, this attack had a very large range, destroying and setting countless houses ablaze. Many villagers who were unable to escape the village perished in the flames.

"damn it!"

"You're the only one here who's good at water-based techniques. Go and rescue them. Leave the rest to us."

Bingzu Raito immediately spoke up.

Although Yamashiro Aoba was somewhat timid, he was not a coward who feared death. However, these innocent villagers needed him more right now, so he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

"Remember, you must make them pay the price. And... whatever you do, don't die."

"Of course, killing me won't be that easy!"

Although Yamashiro Aoba's departure created a slight opening in their encirclement, it also relieved them of their worries.

Otherwise, even if they successfully defeat the monster in front of them, what's the point if all the villagers here die?

"Don't rush off! Come in and take a bath!"

A giant hand formed from lava suddenly pressed the four Sand Village members' special puppets to the ground, then turned into scalding magma that enveloped all the puppets.

As the Sand Village ninjas previously mentioned, these special puppets could survive for a minute or two even when placed in magma.

It turns out he was just bragging!

In less than ten seconds, all the puppets melted into liquid.

This also made their faces look very unpleasant.

However, those who come from the puppet army will naturally not only have this one puppet.

They immediately took out spare puppets from the scrolls they carried with them, but did not make any rash moves.

Although these puppets each have their own advantages, they cannot withstand the opponent's lava attacks; they will be destroyed if they are hit.

As for the few Iwagakure ninjas, they were using Earth Release to defend themselves while using Earth Spikes to wear down the enemy.

Earth Escape·Yellow Quan Marsh!

Suddenly, the Iwagakure Jonin seized the opportunity when Shan Tu dodged and instantly changed the terrain, turning the ground around Shan Tu into a swamp.

Seeing that Shanhu was losing its balance, Ritsuki finally moved.

"Konoha Style Sword Technique: Lightning Step Flash!"

A faint flash of lightning passed beneath his feet, and in an instant, Raikou crossed space, even traversing the swamp, appearing behind Shanhu.

At this moment, his sword was slowly returning to its sheath...

Clang!

puff!

Shanhu's arm flew to the ground.

Even the volcano on its head had a corner cut off.

If he hadn't blocked with his arm at the last moment, buying a little time, his head might have been chopped off.

Coral is furious!

Scorching steam rose from both ears and the top of the head.

He stretched out his only remaining hand and gently touched his head; the missing piece instantly made his eyes bloodshot and turn red.

"Today...all of you...will die!"

"Domain expansion... Two Hells of the Scorching River!"

The strong smell of sulfur instantly filled the entire area, and all the nearby ninjas were pulled into Shan Tu's domain.

In the vast space, two lava rivers intersected in an 'X' shape, the earth was covered in dark red lava, the air was thick with the smell of sulfur, and the temperature was frighteningly high.

"Let me burn you all to ashes!"

"Lava Spell - Ultimate - Pillar!"

boom!

A towering pillar of magma erupted from beneath the feet of a Sand Village ninja.

Under the guaranteed hit effect of the domain, he had no chance to dodge and was instantly burned to ashes.

Although Shanhu's domain is not the kind that is close to being unsolvable, under his incredibly powerful lava spell, anyone who cannot resist the erosion of the lava will be instantly killed!

Just like before!

boom!

Two seconds later, another identical pillar of magma shot into the sky.

The person killed this time was a Konoha ninja.

After two people were instantly killed, the remaining people were filled with anger and frustration.

"Watch your step, little..."

Before the Sand Village Jonin could finish speaking, he was engulfed by the pillar of magma and fire, leaving nothing behind.

"Get everyone moving, as fast as you can, and then look for patterns in the lava eruptions."

Raido shouted, then started running aimlessly with lightning crackling beneath his feet. The others followed suit and began to move, no longer staying in place.

Shan Hu couldn't help but reveal a mocking sneer; he could easily have instantly killed Namiashi Raido.

But he didn't want to do that; he wanted to give these humans hope first, and then tear it apart with his own hands.

boom!

Another pillar of magma erupted.

The unlucky one this time was the Iwagakure Jonin, but he cast Earth Release on himself before being submerged.

He only survived for a few more seconds amidst the continuous gushing of lava before being burned to death.

Such a tragic scene left the remaining people speechless.

In the end how to do?

Looking at the coral in the distance, Namishi Raido suddenly made a decision!

[Chapter 458 The Immortal Blade]

Each jet of lava fire precisely targeted and killed its prey; every eruption represented the sacrifice of someone.

But no matter what they tried, they couldn't stop it.

However, these people's sacrifices were not entirely meaningless; they created the only opportunity for Raito Namiya to make his move.

"Konoha Style Sword Technique: Mortal Cut!"

Raido Namiashi poured all his energy, spirit, and chakra into this single strike.

He only has this one strike of power. After using it, he won't be able to get out of bed for a month, and his lifespan will be greatly shortened.

But he still used it without hesitation.

In an instant, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped toward the location of Shanhu.

Seeing this, Shanhu couldn't help but sneer, "I won't let the same trick work on me twice. You'll feel what despair is like!"
