Fierce Battle in Sunagakure, Part Three
"Kids from Konoha, don't get too arrogant."
The Kan'in Clan Head glared fiercely at Katsuki, wishing he could devour her flesh raw.
By the time he arrived from the Kazekage's Office Building, four of his clan's Jonin had perished there, along with two other members of the garrison. A total of six Jonin died in battle. This might not seem like much for a village like Sunagakure, but it was a devastating blow to the Kan'in Family.
Moreover, those who sacrificed were almost all young people, the future of the family.
"You—you deserve to die!!" The Kan'in Clan Head was practically spitting fire from his eyes.
"Wind Release, Vacuum Great Ball."
A series of high-pressure Wind Bullet were launched at high speed, tracking the moving Katsuki and carving deep pits into the quicksand, but they were quickly filled by the surging quicksand.
"Go!"
The young Puppet Master with short red hair was not idle. He controlled three puppets of different shapes to fly out and chase after the moving Katsuki. Then he spat out a series of poison needles. The strong poison made the air smell fishy, and the Sand Ninjas instinctively covered their mouths and noses.
Meanwhile, three more puppets swooped down from the sky like large birds, launching poison gas bombs that exploded in mid-air, spreading out a large purple poisonous mist that enveloped Katsuki entirely.
As for the Thunderclap Chariot, which was attacking from mid-air, it was surrounded by Kan'in Shigeru and his men. Ultimately, it was just a creation, and the separated part of its soul could not give it enough intelligence. Once it got over the initial panic, it would be easy to find that without Katsuki's direct control, the Thunderclap Chariot's fighting style was quite monotonous.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"
The Jonin present were not fools; they cleverly used Wind Release Technique to control the poisonous mist, keeping it within a certain area.
"Cough cough!!"
A series of coughs could be heard from within the poisonous fog.
A streak of silvery-white lightning tore through the purple mist, attempting to break free from the poisonous fog.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Another series of poison gas bombs rained down, creating a large cloud of poisonous mist that forced the Sand Ninja to retreat quickly to avoid being engulfed.
The Puppet Master's poison is extremely deadly. Every Sand Ninja knows how terrifying the Puppet Master's poison is. Without the aid of various potent poisons, the Puppet Master's power would be reduced by more than 30%.
"Lightning Dragon!"
Unable to escape the poisonous fog from any direction, Katsuki suddenly swung her hand to slap the quicksand sea beneath her feet. Above her head, a damned puppet was watching her intently. If she rushed forward, she would probably be met with poison gas bombs. It was more reliable to escape from below.
The dazzling Lightning Dragon tore through the quicksand, and streaks of lightning leaped haphazardly, blasting the moving quicksand into the air.
"Lightning Dragon!"
······
One Lightning Dragon after another, Katsuki attacked with alternating hands, carving a hole right through the Kan'in Family's Jonin before they could react.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Breathing in the fresh air, Katsuki's body plummeted rapidly towards the ground below.
The Thunderclap Chariot is trapped, and he is not yet able to remotely control it. Differentiating souls is not a simple matter, and Katsuki is not yet able to differentiate more souls. In other words, there is only one Thunderclap Chariot, and there are no other ones.
"Lightning Dragon!"
However, even without the Thunderclap Chariot, Katsuki wouldn't have been so unlucky as to fall to her death. She unleashed another Lightning Dragon, scattering a group of Sand Ninjas. Using the recoil, she landed safely, rolled a few times on the ground, and stood unharmed on the stepped rock wall.
"Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel."
A gray storm swept across the sky, emitting a tremendous shriek. Sharp wind blades spun wildly within the storm, or rather, the entire storm was composed of countless wind blades of varying sizes. Fine grains of sand were pulverized and scattered into dust under the relentless onslaught of these wind blades, demonstrating astonishing destructive power.
"I didn't expect to run into someone I know."
Katsuki looked up at the approaching storm, a ferocious smile spreading across her face.
"Earth Release, Earth Moving Core."
He slammed his palms into the ground, and the rock wall beneath his feet suddenly split open in front of him, the rock wall in front of him rising rapidly and blocking the Katsuki.
The eldest son of the Third Tsuchikage, Kamizuru Otto, died at the hands of Sakumo, and his body also fell into Sakumo's hands. Naturally, his head was ripped out. The head of the Yamanaka Clan personally took action and dug out a lot of useful information from Otto's head, as well as many extremely advanced Earth Release.
The Earth Moving Core is one of them.
These Ninjutsu were all spoils of war belonging to Sakumo, so Katsuki naturally obtained a copy as well. In three months, while studying Medical Ninjutsu, he easily created a hundred or so Shadow Clone to study Earth Release.
Bloodline theory is the mainstream in the Shinobi World; geniuses like Minato are one in a million, appearing only once every hundred years.
The powerful bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan gave Katsuki the potential to rise to prominence, while the Hito Hito no Mi allowed him to ascend to the ranks of the top ninjas in the Shinobi World at lightning speed.
"Boom--!!!"
The storm crashed against the towering, protruding rock wall, countless wind blades cutting through the rock with ease, as if slicing through a piece of soft tofu. Large amounts of rock were pulverized. However, the rock wall was simply too thick, unlike ordinary Earth Style Wall. The Earth Moving Core was used to lift a portion of the natural cliff surrounding Sunagakure.
It was too thick, far too thick; that sharp strike did not achieve the desired result.
The raging storm came fiercely but also passed quickly. Katsuki wore a cold smile, her killing intent surging uncontrollably.
"You old bastard, I've always wanted to tear you to pieces!"
Looking up at the imposing figure appearing on the broken rock face, Katsuki's smile grew even more sinister.
"You're still alive?"
Okunuki Kumasaburo looked at the red-haired boy with a mixture of shock and anger in his eyes. He was shocked that the Heavenly Thunder hadn't blasted the boy to ashes, and angry that this bastard dared to attack Sunagakure single-handedly. A hint of regret rose in his heart. If only he hadn't had the idea of capturing him alive, he could have just killed this damned brat, and there wouldn't be so much trouble now.
"But it doesn't matter anymore. You didn't die back then, so I'll kill you now."
As soon as Kumasaburo finished speaking, he raised the huge Iron Fan high in his hand.
"Great Sickle Weasel."
"Wind Release: Wind Scythe Formation"
As Kumasaburo stirred up the storm, a howling storm also crashed down from the sky.
The Kan'in Clan Head also charged down on his sand cloud. The huge sand sea in the sky was completely abandoned, and the vast quicksand fell back into the desert. A portion of the manpower was sent out to suppress the Thunderclap Chariot with Kan'in Shigeru. After all, they were all shrewd people who had survived the battlefield. Even if they did not understand the principle of the Thunderclap Chariot, they could still find that Katsuki could not control the Thunderclap Chariot from a distance.
Therefore, some people went to suppress the Thunderclap Chariot to prevent Katsuki from driving it around in the sky, which would be too troublesome. It would be easier to fight on the ground. So, the Kan'in Clan Head led the rest of the group down the mountain.
