Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

He looked down and his scalp tingled instantly.

His legs had swelled up and turned into a pile of hideous flesh without him even realizing it. Not only his legs, but his hands also began to turn like that. Then he found that the chakra in his body was beginning to expand uncontrollably and was about to burst out of his body.

At that moment, in the eyes of others, this elite Chunin from Sunagakure rapidly swelled up, turning into a terrifying ball of flesh and emanating a horrifying aura.

Seemingly realizing their doom was approaching, the elite Chunin from Sunagakure cried out in despair, "No!"

"Oh!"

The elite Chunin from Sunagakure exploded, creating a terrifying blast that instantly cleared a space of more than ten meters around him, forming a bloody crater.

The explosion of the elite Chunin from Sunagakure seemed to be a clarion call, as many Sunagakure ninjas with blood-red senbon needles embedded in their bodies began to discover with horror that their own bodies were also rapidly expanding.

As they lay dying, they all saw a pair of golden eyes.

"Bang bang bang~"

A series of massive explosions occurred.

Countless Sand Ninjas were transformed into human bombs, blooming into terrifying blood roses on the battlefield.

Watching a living person explode as a human bomb, such a bloody and terrifying method of killing instilled fear in both the people of Sunagakure and Konoha. They subconsciously looked at the perpetrator who created these human bombs, and then saw those golden eyes that now revealed coldness.

In an instant, many of them were horrified to find themselves in a blood-red space, with a pair of golden eyes dripping with blood before them.

Subsequently, many of the Konoha ninjas quickly found themselves back on the battlefield, as if what had just happened was just their hallucination. However, when they saw that many of their enemies looked dazed, they immediately realized that it was not a hallucination at all.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill the enemy!"

Then, a cold voice appeared in their minds.

"Ha~"

Upon hearing this voice, many Konoha ninja instinctively shouted back and then picked up their weapons to kill the enemies around them who were under the influence of genjutsu.

Kirito was only in one corner of the battlefield, but his appearance clearly caused a huge reversal in the situation in that corner. Some Sand Village Jonin nearby had noticed him and decisively sent some of their men to eliminate Kirito.

A Sand Village Jonin, skilled in Earth Release, quietly approached the ground beneath Kirito, preparing to use Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique on him. However, before he could grab Kirito's legs, a huge blood spike pierced the ground, piercing through his skull.

After the Earth Release Jonin failed, two strangely shaped puppets descended from the sky and suddenly fired a large number of poisoned projectiles. This was the work of a Sand Village puppeteer with Jonin-level strength.

Unfortunately, all the poisoned darts that could only lightly scratch a ninja's skin were blocked by the blood-red shield that Kirito created with his own blood, and could not harm him in the slightest. On the contrary, the two puppets were hit by a blood dragon formed from blood and became a pile of useless pieces.

"That despicable guy, how dare he hurt my baby."

In the rear of Sunagakure, a puppeteer with a scorpion tattooed on his face stared at Kirito with venomous hatred through binoculars.

But soon, the resentment on his face turned into fear. He discovered that the chakra threads he had withdrawn contained a bit of alien chakra, and as soon as this alien chakra entered his body, a pair of golden eyes with bloody tears appeared before his eyes.

"Oh!"

The next moment, the Sand Village Puppet Master turned into a human bomb and exploded, killing himself and two other puppet masters who were unable to react in time.

"It really was him."

On a high slope at the edge of the battlefield, Orochimaru watched the figure manipulating blood to wreak havoc on the battlefield, and involuntarily licked his lips with his long tongue, thinking to himself.

Then, he revealed a sinister smile and said, "On the battlefield, being too flashy is not a good thing."

When Hyuga Karen heard Orochimaru say that, her face showed a nervous expression.

Under her disapproving gaze, a middle-aged man with long eyebrows and an extremely cold expression was rushing towards Kirito. Wherever he went, all the Konoha ninjas were cut to pieces by five puppets he controlled, each wielding a different ninja tool.

Ebizo, a Kage-level shinobi from Sunagakure, has arrived.

Chapter 189: Overpowering a Kage-Level Rank

Kirito no longer feels any pressure when facing Jonin, even elite Jonin.

With his soul perception, natural energy perception, blood perception, and newly developed electromagnetic perception, no ninja can hide from him and will be able to launch a sneak attack. He can also use defensive ninjutsu to defend himself at any time.

With his ability to multitask, he can use five different ninjutsu simultaneously in battle using his puppets. Apart from Kage-level experts, no one can withstand his attacks.

Furthermore, thanks to the Blood Dragon Eye's abilities, most human ninjas who are hit by the blood infused with the Blood Dragon Eye's chakra are doomed. In fact, as long as they make eye contact with him, they will basically be dragged into the Blood Dragon Eye's genjutsu space.

Therefore, Kirito easily killed ten Sand Village Jonin who had attacked him one after another, severely damaging the morale of Sand Village and causing many Sand Village ninjas to spontaneously distance themselves from him and develop a deep fear of him.

But because of this, Kirito finally attracted the attention of the top ninjas on the battlefield.

Ebizo was the overall commander of the battle between Sunagakure and Konoha. He usually didn't take action and would just sit in the rear of Sunagakure like a pillar of strength, but Kirito's terrifying performance on the battlefield caught his attention.

As the Dark One of Sunagakure, he naturally knew Kirito's information in great detail; he even knew that Kirito had just celebrated his 11th birthday yesterday.

But this 11-year-old kid from Konoha already possessed the ability to easily kill a Jonin, which both surprised and terrified him.

"We absolutely cannot allow him to continue to grow stronger. If he does, the Sand Village's future ambition to defeat Konoha will be nothing but a distant dream. This kid's appearance on the battlefield is a rare opportunity, and I must seize it."

In the Sand Village headquarters, Ebizo stared intently at Kirito, who was currently controlling five blood dragons and wreaking havoc on the battlefield, his mind filled with murderous intent.

The next moment, he took out a scroll from his body, opened it, and revealed five sealing formulas that contained the puppets.

As he placed his hand on the scroll and channeled chakra into it, five humanoid puppets wielding various weapons appeared beside him.

Ebizo instantly shot out five chakra threads from his left hand, which landed on five humanoid puppets. The five puppets seemed to come alive immediately, standing up from the ground and rushing towards the battlefield.

At the same time, Ebizo formed a mudra with his right hand, and five eyes formed from sand instantly appeared, quickly flying into the sky.

Then, Ebizo also began to move, quickly entering the battlefield. He then used five humanoid puppets to easily open up a safe passage filled with blood and death, rushing straight towards where Kirito was.

The five humanoid puppets were all rare and exquisite puppets, with countless hidden weapons and mechanisms concealed on their bodies. Under the control of Ebizo, a Kage-level puppeteer, they were like five elite Jonin who were proficient in killing techniques, and they cooperated perfectly and even used ninjutsu to coordinate their attacks.

On the battlefield, not a single Konoha Jonin who tried to stop them could last more than ten seconds.

"It's Lord Ebizo! We're saved!"

"Lord Ebizo has made his move; that arrogant Konoha brat is doomed."

"Lord Ebizo has arrived! Everyone, follow Lord Ebizo and kill all these Konoha ninja..."

……

Ebizo's performance on the battlefield instantly delighted the previously demoralized Sand Village ninja, whose morale quickly rebounded, and they shouted excitedly.

In a short time, the Sand Village, having regained its morale, stabilized the situation on the battlefield once again.

Ebizo was incredibly fast. Some Konoha ninjas tried to stop him from going to deal with Kirito, but they couldn't stop him at all. Other Sand ninjas also worked together to stop a large number of Konoha ninjas who wanted to stop Ebizo from killing Kirito.

Kirito had noticed Ebizo a long time ago, but there was no fear in his eyes at all; instead, he was somewhat excited.

With a thought, the enormous blood sphere in the sky shot towards a large number of weapons—swords, knives, spears, and other weapons—that were highly condensed from blood mixed with chakra. These weapons were densely packed and shot towards Ebizo's main body and the Sand Ninja around him.

Blood Release: King's Treasure Vault!

"Humph."

Upon seeing this, Ebizo immediately stopped and quickly summoned a puppet to his side to block the large number of blood-red weapons falling from the sky.

The humanoid puppet he was controlling was wielding a katana covered in wind-style chakra. The blade was incredibly sharp, easily slicing any blood-red weapon aimed at Ebizo in two, posing no threat to him.

Ebizo himself was clearly aware of the strangeness of the blood-red weapon. He did not lower his guard just because the blood-red weapon turned back into ordinary blood after being cut. Sure enough, he formed a hand seal with his right hand and spewed out a burst of flame, burning all the blood on the surrounding ground.

Not only that, another puppet he was controlling, wielding a large fan, suddenly waved its fan at the giant blood sphere in the sky.

A huge gust of wind suddenly appeared.

Wind Release: Great Scythe Itachi!

As the storm raged, Ebizo seized the opportunity to shoot the flames protruding from his mouth into the air.

Not only did Ebizo use Fire Release ninjutsu in conjunction with Wind Release ninjutsu, but some Sand Village ninjas also took the opportunity to use Fire Release ninjutsu in conjunction with it.

The wind intensifies the fire.

A massive sea of ​​fire suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the terrifying heat instantly evaporated most of the giant blood sphere in the sky.

However, Kirito and the other Konoha ninjas wouldn't just stand by and watch the giant blood sphere be destroyed by the enemy. Streams of water shot out from the mouths of many Konoha ninjas who were skilled in water release techniques, quickly extinguishing the sea of ​​fire in mid-air.

The giant blood sphere had long been noticed by many Sand Village ninjas, who all tried to destroy it with Fire Release ninjutsu, but their actions were stopped by Konoha ninjas using Water Release.

Ebizo's attempt this time was no exception.

"pity."

Seeing the blood sphere created by the Konoha ninjas to protect Kirito, Ebizo sighed inwardly. Then, with a flick of his left hand, three puppets that were already close to Kirito quickly formed a triangular formation and simultaneously completed hand seals.

In an instant, a sense of crisis arose in Kirito's heart. Looking at the three puppets with the characters for Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha engraved on their foreheads, he suddenly realized something. No longer relying on his blood-red shield to ignore the enemy's attacks, he decisively retreated.

The next moment, a tornado with immense suction suddenly appeared, frantically absorbing the large amount of blood in front of Kirito, along with a large number of corpses and weapons on the battlefield, continuously compressing and crushing them in the process.

Puppet Technique: Three Treasures Absorption and Collapse!

This attack completely cleared the area over a hundred meters in front of the three puppets.

To avoid being hit by this terrifying suction force, Kirito used the Water Instantaneous Movement Technique three times in a row to escape.

Some Sunagakure and Konoha ninjas were caught off guard and sucked into it, turning into an indescribable mass.

At this point, Kirito had no blood left to protect him.

Two puppeteers who had been lurking nearby decisively controlled their puppets to attack Kirito. A large number of poisoned darts were released from the four puppets, attacking Kirito from all directions.

Kirito immediately clapped his hands together, and the ground beneath him instantly rose rapidly, forming a huge rock pillar. This allowed him to successfully avoid all the hidden weapon attacks and look down at the enemy from a high vantage point.

Earth Escape Technique: Earthquake Core!

"You guys are underestimating us Konoha ninjas. Everyone else, don't just stand there, don't let the younger generation look down on you."

A pineapple-headed ninja shouted angrily when he saw Kirito being surrounded by Sunagakure.

The next moment, he clasped his hands together to form a hand seal, and the shadow beneath him stretched rapidly across the ground, pointing directly at one of the puppeteers who had attacked Kirito.

The puppeteer ninja quickly retreated and then manipulated the puppet to attack the pineapple-headed ninja.

"That's right, what kind of nonsense is it to put a little kid in front of you?"

As the pineapple-headed ninja made his move, a fat ninja wielding a large stick chimed in.

As soon as he finished speaking, one of his hands suddenly grew larger, along with the large stick in it, and then swept towards another puppeteer Jonin who was attacking Kirito with terrifying force and pressure.

As the Jonin of the Nara and Akimichi clans intervened to hold off the Sand Village Jonin for Kirito, other Konoha Jonin on the battlefield also stepped in to help Kirito share the Sand Village's firepower.

Some radical Konoha Jonin even directly attacked Ebizo.

Unfortunately, all the Konoha Jonin who dared to attack Ebizo were easily killed by him.

Having learned from past mistakes, the other Konoha Jonin have become wiser, only targeting the opposing Jonin to alleviate Kirito's pressure in any way they can.
