Earth Prison Dome
In Sakura's opinion...
The Sound Ninja's teamwork wasn't very good.
She could tell that these people usually fought individually and rarely teamed up against one person. Their strength was enough to defeat ordinary Chunin or even Special Jōnin in a one-on-one fight. As for stronger enemies—for these ninja villages, encountering Jonin as an enemy was already a very rare occurrence.
Frequent mistakes.
Kidomaru's arrow pierced the head of Tayuya's summoned creature and hurtled towards Sakura, who easily dodged it; before Sakura could do anything, one of the Sound Ninja fell due to accidental injury.
It's not even good; was Kidomaru's move a mistake in coordination or intentional?
"That's an eyesore!" the pink-haired girl scoffed softly.
Ice Release: Swallow Snow Storm!
While dodging the Sound Ninja's attack, the cat-faced ninja also prepared a counter-attack technique.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A dozen huge ice darts immediately condensed in front of Sakura and shot rapidly toward the remaining four humanoid summons.
This Ice Release technique is Ninjutsu learned from the Land of Snow. It is extremely fast to activate. When Sakura uses real Ice Release Chakra, the speed of the projectiles is extremely fast, the shuriken are very sharp, and the power at close range is quite considerable.
The summoned creature that charged first was sliced into several pieces by the ice darts and died instantly; then the second one was pinned to a tree by several darts half the height of a person, the huge wound on its head taking away its life force, and it struggled for a while before falling silent.
The two remaining ones, which were further away, managed to dodge the vital parts in time, but their hands and feet were still hit by several ice darts.
However, this is not the end.
Just like other Ninjutsu that Sakura heavily modified, the Swallow Snow Storm technique was also given some tweaks by the girl...
Ice Release: Dart Explosion Technique!
Boom! The ice dart contained far less Chakra than the Ice Clone, so its explosive power was much lower than the Ice Clone Self-Destruction Technique. However, since the dart had already partially pierced the enemy's body, the explosion was actually more powerful than the clone's explosion...
One of the summoned creatures was blasted into pieces, while the other was covered in icicles and lay on the ground, barely alive, unable to fight any longer!
While the cat-faced girl was dealing with the summoned creatures, the Sound Ninja launched their attack.
Tayuya's flute music instantly changed, transforming from a song used to manipulate summoned creatures into a medium for casting sound Genjutsu.
"The Demonic Flute: Illusionary Tune Chains!"
At the same time, under the cover of Tayuya's Genjutsu, Sakon charged directly Sakon Sakura Haruno!
"Tayuya in her State Two is using a Genjutsu that can bind the enemy's body, rendering them completely immobile. Even I can't defend against this..." Hidden deep in the forest, Kidomaru watched the battlefield, ready for the next attack, while analyzing the situation in his mind. "Then, let Sakon rush in. As long as he can touch that woman's body and use the Sage Art: Demonic Twin Destruction, it will all be over!"
"First, use summoned creatures, arrows Kunai attract the opponent's attention. Then, have Tayuya use Genjutsu to bind the enemy. Finally, have Sakon use Secret Technique to deliver the final blow. Even Kimimaro might not be able to withstand this combo... How would you counter it?"
"It's over! Secret Technique: Demonic Twin Destruction!"
Sakon had already rushed to the cat-faced ninja's side, and was Ukon to use his Secret Technique to parasitize Sakura Haruno—
Beneath the mask, the girl's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"So eager to die...?"
Sakura Haruno turned to the side, turned her head, and spoke softly to the approaching Sound Ninja.
Did Tayuya's Genjutsu have absolutely no effect on her?
The Sakon were instantly terrified!
No, beneath the mask that was Sakon of sight, the trace of blood from where she had bitten her lip, and the fact that her lips had turned from pink to pale white, indicated that the cat-faced girl was not unaffected.
However, thanks to her powerful mental strength and superb control over Chakra, the Genjutsu had a far greater effect on her than on ordinary people. In just a moment, she broke free from the illusion!
Tayuya's Genjutsu was far from enough to distract Sakura and allow Sakon to approach the girl and unleash his Secret Technique.
This is a trap... She deliberately acted as if she were trapped in Genjutsu, waiting for Sakon to come to her!
"I've been infected--!" Sakon realized it too late...
"Monstrous Strength Technique: Wing Chun Hidden Kick!"
The girl turned to the side, twisted her waist and hips, raised her left foot, and delivered a mid-range side kick!
Many boxing techniques from the previous life emphasized that the foot should not go above the waist because, in actual combat, while high-position leg techniques are extremely powerful, they have too many openings and are too slow, making them far less efficient and safe than mid-to-low-position kicks. Sakura's hidden kick was concealed and swift, making it difficult to defend against even in a normal attack, let alone when Sakon was in a completely unprepared offensive stance!
Bang!
With the added Monstrous Strength Technique, this short kick was powerful enough to pierce through clouds, split rocks, and shatter the earth. When it struck Sakon, the point where the girl's foot collided with Sakon's body produced a terrifyingly loud sound.
Having taken the full Sakon of that side kick, Sakon had no strength left to use any Secret Technique. He felt as if his bones and internal organs had been reduced to dust by the power of that kick!
Hiding in the forest, Kidomaru, Tayuya, and Jirobo —that is, the fat man—clearly heard the chilling thud coming from Sakon. Their eye muscles twitched involuntarily as they watched Sakon being blasted dozens of meters Sakon, crashing into two giant trees before finally stopping, lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
"Even Sakon the strongest vitality, has been beaten like this..." Tayuya was Tayuya shocked that she stopped playing her flute.
Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome!
"Damn it!" The fat man gritted his teeth and charged forward, using the time he had gained from Sakon to launch his next attack—
He slammed his hands into the ground, frantically surging his Chakra. Countless pebbles and mud slabs surged up from the ground, forming an earthen prison the size of a football field, completely covering the unsuspecting cat-faced ninja!
"Did you trap her?" Seeing that Jirobo's technique had successfully surrounded the girl, Tayuya breathed a sigh of relief, jumped out, and asked with lingering fear.
"Huff, huff, this is my full-power Ninjutsu in my State Two! This stone wall is seven or eight meters thick, and it can even repair itself... No matter how strong she is, she absolutely can't break through! Next, I'm going to drain all her Chakra. Without Chakra, she'll be completely at my mercy!"
"I left you as a backup plan because my Sakon Secret Technique failed, but I didn't expect it to actually work... This woman's technique is too dangerous; one wrong move and you'll die from that troublesome Ninjutsu!" Kidomaru jumped down from the tree, still somewhat shaken. He glanced at the lifeless Sakon in the distance, "How is Sakon? Is he dead?"
"Sakon isn't going to die so easily..." Tayuya went over to check on Sakon's condition, "He's shifted some of the damage onto his brother!"
Sakon's Secret Technique is to put his older brother Ukon sleep within his body, allowing him to fight as two separate individuals. All damage he receives can be transferred to one of them, instantly healing the other's injuries. However, even with this technique, damage exceeding the limit a single person can withstand cannot be transferred. Sakon, having taken a direct hit Sakon the Monstrous Strength Technique, has completely exhausted his Chakra and has long since exited his State Two form, now lying on the verge of death.
"If he's still breathing, just take him back and hand him over to Kabuto!" Kidomaru casually ordered, then turned to the fat man with displeasure and shouted, "Jirobo, you piece of trash, aren't you done yet?!"
Jirobo pressed his hands tightly against the earthen prison, trying his best to activate the Earth Prison Dome's ability to absorb Chakra. Kidomaru's shout made him a little flustered.
"Damn it, this woman is suspicious! I... I can't absorb her Chakra!"
The fat man's dark red forehead was covered with large beads of sweat!
