A Fierce Blade in the Snow!

"Crack!" Shunren and Ma Ying collided with each other and both retreated.

"Senior Ma Ying!"

"Shunren!"

People from both the Sand Ninja and Konoha rushed out immediately to prevent the other side from launching a sneak attack.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and stop the bleeding!" Ma Ying shouted, covering the bleeding belly with one hand.

"Shunren, please let me heal you." The medical-nin from Konoha quickly used Medical Ninjutsu to treat the blood hole in Shunren's shoulder.

While all are Jonin, the strength of ninjas at this stage can be divided into several levels: Ordinary Jonin, High- Jonin, and Elite Jonin. The first type is those who accumulate experience through numerous missions, gradually building up their seniority, or newly promoted members of the younger generation. The second type rises through life-or-death battles. The third type requires not only top-tier strength but also a sharp mind, extensive combat experience, and the ability to lead a unit independently. However, Ma Ying clearly belongs to the third type.

Shunren flicked the blood off his sword, his gaze fixed on Ma Ying, and said with a hint of regret, "An elite-level Jonin, can't be defeated with just conventional swordsmanship?"

"This guy... is no ordinary brat!" While Shunren felt regret, Ma Ying was also shocked. You must know that he was Elite Jonin of the Sand Ninja. Even when facing Jonin of the same level, he would usually not last more than twenty rounds against him. However, from the series of fierce battles just now, Ma Ying was surprised to find that he could not suppress his opponent at all. In close combat, he could only fight to a draw.

"This kid's swordsmanship is quite remarkable. It seems I should avoid direct hand-to-hand combat with him." After discovering Shunren's strengths, Ma Ying did not arrogantly choose to confront him head-on. Instead, he avoided the strong points and focused on the Jonin, his mental fortitude and combat awareness were unmatched by ordinary people.

While Shunren and Ma Ying were recovering as medical-nin, the ninjas on both sides weren't going to just wait idly, and they started fighting with their weapons!

While the Sand Ninja are outnumbered by the Konoha ninjas, their individual strength is considerably greater.

The Sand Ninja has two Jonin and five Special Jōnin.

On Konoha's side, there was only one Jonin and twenty Chunin under him.

However, this is Konoha's defensive position, surrounded by various Barrier Ninjutsu, giving it a significant geographical advantage.

Another point is that Konoha's Ninjutsu teams mainly use Fire Style, while Sand Ninja mainly uses Wind Release, resulting in elemental advantage.

The overall result is that the two sides are evenly matched!

Shunren surveyed the battlefield, thinking to himself that if they requested reinforcements, the enemy would also call for help. The battle would then drag on endlessly, leaving them the only ones who could deal with this Sand Ninja.

Ma Ying's eyes flickered slightly. At this moment, he shared the same thought as Shunren, understanding that they were the ones who had to bring this battle to a close.

After moving his arm around, Shunren felt he had almost fully recovered and waved his hand.

"Yin Release: Projection!"

Sode no Shirayuki!

Without saying a word, Ma Ying quickly Hand Seals and then took a deep breath.

Shunren's Sharingan could clearly see that Ma Ying suddenly gathered a large amount of Chakra, presumably preparing some kind of Ninjutsu with great destructive power!

Immediately, Shunren's hands and feet were not slow either. He held the Sode no Shirayuki Blade in his hand, and the snow-white tip of the blade pierced several white dots on the ground. From the white dots, cold ice rose continuously. At the same time, Shunren held the blade with both hands and pointed the tip of the blade straight ahead.

The ice crystals converged, and with the help of the extreme cold released from the Sode no Shirayuki Blade, they transformed into a blizzard that surged forth!

"Second Dance - White Ripples!"

On the other side, Ma Ying blew out a stream of air containing wind-style Chakra.

The collision coalesced into a massive cloud of energy, which then erupted with a deafening roar! "Wind Release: Sky Bullet!"

The blizzard collided head-on with the air mass, instantly creating a fierce wind and a flurry of snow, almost turning into a man-made blizzard!

In an instant, the Konoha and Sand Ninja, who had been locked in fierce combat, had no choice but to stop and hastily retreat in all directions.

Ma Ying's lips curled into a cold smile as he said, "This way, we can shut down your troublesome eyes! Perception Squad, locate the enemy and attack!"

Shunren formed a hand seal, "Sensory Technique - Mind's Eye!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Several sharp wind blades emerged from the snow, which Shunren narrowly dodged one by one.

"This kid is actually a sensory-type ninja?" Ma Ying, hidden not far away, narrowed his eyes, then said coldly, "You can indeed dodge our attacks, but can the people behind you do the same?"

"Ahhh~"

The screams of Konoha Ninja echoed from behind. Shunren immediately realized that his opponent was trying to weaken his side little by little. He then changed his hand seals and shouted, "Secret Technique: Heart- Mind Transmission Technique!"

"Huh? It was dodged?" exclaimed one of the Sand Ninja who launched the attack.

"Whoosh~"

A Sand Ninja was struck in the heart by a Kunai that flew from a tricky angle and collapsed.

At this moment, under the Mind Link constructed by Shunren, all the Konoha Ninja were able to share the sensory network provided by Shunren, accurately locating the enemy's position from within the misty blizzard.

"Damn it!" Although Ma Ying didn't know what methods the Shunren used, the operation to deceive the eyes had failed, so he had no choice but to try to destroy the snow!

Clench your teeth into your thumbs and rapidly Hand Seals.

"Summoning Technique!"

It was a jet-black weasel, its mouth holding a scythe larger than its body. This was Kamatari, a summoning beast from the Land of Land of Wind, which the Sand Ninja had tamed and made into their powerful ninja beast.

At the same time Ma Ying blew out a gust of wind from his mouth, and the weasel puffed up its body, making it seem even lighter. Then it danced wildly in the wind, and the large scythe it held in its mouth became a huge weapon of death!

"Wind Release: Beheading Dance!"

Ma Ying used this move to clear the snow from the ground and break through the blizzard environment.

However, the restoration of his vision means the restoration of Shunren's Sharingan!

With his crimson eyes locked onto Beheading Dance raging Shunren's figure flashed and he appeared directly below it. He drew an arc with his Sode no Shirayuki, and instantly a white light array with a radius of ten meters appeared on the ground beneath his feet, centered on Shunren himself.

"First Dance - Moonlight!"

A beam of white light shot straight up, piercing the clouds! It precisely struck the wildly dancing Beheading Dance in the sky, and the next second, the white light condensed into an ice pillar.
