Different Battlefields

The above did not mention a very important premise.

That is sensory ability. Because the five senses are sealed in underground battles, people can only rely on Chakra to sense things. Moreover, most non-sensory ninjas can only sense a very small area. If one side has a superior sensory ability, it will undoubtedly have a huge advantage.

Compared to simply relying on Chakra to control the soil for sensing, Katsuki's perception ability is obviously abnormally powerful. Even without using Mind's Eye of the Kagura, he can easily sense the movements within a radius of more than ten meters around him.

Furthermore, the Earth Travel Technique is a high-level Earth Release created by Sakumo, which allows him to maintain a certain degree of agility even under immense underground pressure.

So, a Chunin rich combat experience was buried underground, and it's estimated that no one will discover his body for a hundred or two hundred years.

When the underground battle ended, the battle on the surface was still ongoing.

Four Sunagakure Chunin joined forces, unleashing a barrage of Wind Release Techniques. They skillfully controlled the timing of their attacks, alternating between Ninjutsu to conserve Chakra while maintaining continuous fire. Ideally, they could kill Nawaki, but even if they couldn't, they could suppress Nawaki and prevent him from getting close, creating an opportunity for their comrades underground.

Wind blades and Wind Bullets whistled in, Nawaki used Hardening Technique to strengthen his arms to the limit, punching wildly and taking the attacks head-on, revealing a stance that was not good at offensive Ninjutsu. The clothes on his arms tore and scattered like butterflies, and there were many abrasions on his body caused by the scattered wind blades Wind Bullets.

Fortunately, they were all minor wounds, barely more than a mosquito bite for Nawaki, nothing serious.

Seeing that Nawaki was being suppressed, the four Sand Ninja unconsciously shifted their attention to the ground, hoping their comrades below would intervene...

"Die!"

Suddenly, a cool breeze rose behind my head.

A sharp, faint crackling sound rang in the ears of the four. Silver-white arcs of lightning crackled around the Wakizashi, slicing the necks of the two Sand Ninja on the left. However, all those present Chunin. The two remaining on the right, startled, retreated swiftly, narrowly avoiding the incoming blade.

"Whispering sound!"

Otome clicked her tongue in frustration, held her Wakizashi horizontally across her flat chest, and sped off with lightning flashing beneath her feet.

Compared to Nawaki's head-on confrontation, Otome fully utilized her strengths, using the speed enhancement of Lightning Release to launch a high-speed thrust attack. Unlike Nawaki and Katsuki, who recklessly wasted Chakra, the girl did not have any extra Chakra squander.

She must conserve her Chakra as much as possible in order to last longer in this war.

This is the norm.

"The situation at the front is not looking good!"

"The plan needs to be expedited. Konoha is already suspicious; they're testing us!"

In the Sand Village's main camp, Chiyo, Ebizo, and several other high-ranking officials stood on the rooftop, holding umbrellas and binoculars, observing the situation on the battlefield.

While not as powerful as the Byakugan, binoculars are more widely used on the battlefield; they're an essential item for any commander. PS: Binoculars do exist; Jiraiya used them to spy on women in bathhouses.

"That's really pathetic. The second wave of troops was completely wiped out. A bunch of useless trash."

"I cursed, pressing my eyes wide against one end of the binoculars," a Jonin said.

"Konoha's strength is still so formidable! So many geniuses..."

Ebizo put down his binoculars and sighed, which immediately resonated with many others.

"Damn Konoha, what incredible luck! How come there are so many geniuses!"

"Where did those two red-haired brats come from? Don't they have any Chakra reserves?"

"That blond brat is so fast... I missed him several times!"

"That brat who uses the super-strong fist technique is probably related to Tsunade, one of the Konoha Sannin..."

Those watching the battle here are Jonin, whose eyesight is definitely not bad. They can take in as many changes between the enemy and themselves as possible, and while they may not be able to see everything, they have observed most of the developments.

The group of young warriors who fought on the battlefield were not Katsuki to Mizuki and his Kushina Minato, and Otoha also went to the battlefield. However, the two groups were not grouped together. Katsuki's group was in the second wave, while Kushina's group was assigned to the third wave. They were one after the other and had not yet had a chance to meet, although Katsuki and Kushina had both noticed each other's positions.

"Minato, what the hell are you doing flying around like that?"

Not only were the Sand Ninjas frightened, but Minato's teammate, Otoha, was also Minato.

Sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes left, sometimes right, he never runs or rushes, but disappears into thin air in an instant and then reappears out of thin air. Minato is simply the embodiment of a ghost, freely shuttling across the battlefield and reaping the lives of the Sand Ninja.

"I recently learned a new Ninjutsu, and I'm still in the learning stage. To be honest, I'm not very proficient yet." Minato suddenly appeared behind Otoha, and the two stood back to back, dealing with the Sand Ninja attacking from both sides, while still having the energy to talk.

"Hey!"

With his Sharingan spinning, Otoha swung his katana and severed one of the Sand Ninja's arms. Blood splattered everywhere, and before the opponent could even scream, the tip of the katana twisted and plunged into the opponent's throat, ending his life.

In ninja wars, Genin) are soldiers, chunin (Chunin) are captains or leaders, and Jonin) are the ultimate weapons who can decide the outcome of a war with a single blow.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is the Chunin who lead the Genin in battle. The Jonin will not easily intervene unless it is a critical moment, because the destructive power of the Jonin is too great. Once the Jonin make their move, that is the moment when the battle will truly be decided.

Therefore, on this battlefield, as long as he is not surrounded by multiple Chunin, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can handle things with ease, given his Otoha awakening ability. In his eyes, the actions of ordinary Sand Genin are full of flaws.

"Is everything alright? You're not even familiar with it, so be careful not to mess it up..."

Because Minato's answer was so casual, Otoha turned back with some concern, but the scene etched in his eyes seemed so unreal...

Golden light flashed and leaped, and Minato, who was standing behind, disappeared. Upon closer inspection, Minato had already appeared behind the Sand Ninja, covering a distance of more than ten meters. The Sand Ninja maintained his sprinting motion, but after taking only two steps, blood spurted from his neck, spraying seven or eight meters away.

He didn't see clearly how the Minato moved; he only saw the final result.

"Huff!! Huff!!"

Heaving heavy breathing came from beside him. Minato turned back to Otoha, exhaling white steam, his face showing undisguised exhaustion. He looked at Otoha and said, "Otoha, it's up to you now. My Chakra has been overused; it's exceeded the safety limit."
