Combined Attack: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique

The ground beneath their feet began to tremble, and many people hurriedly tried to steady themselves. However, the tremors grew stronger and stronger, and a huge snake head burst out of the ground.

"Wow..."

Several Sunagakure were launched into the air, and the giant serpent opened its blood-red maw and swallowed them all whole. Then, it twisted and charged into the Sunagakure's main force, unstoppable wherever it went.

"They've finally arrived." Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief. "Now, let's begin the full-scale counterattack!"

"It's Orochimaru. Is this Konoha's Support?" Rasa frowned. Large Summoning Beast were really annoying. Ordinary Ninjutsu could only tickle them. He had to take action himself.

Just as he was about to control the sand gold to move forward, he didn't expect Manda to be so agile. It seemed to know that his Magnet Release was a problem, so it deliberately chose to charge into the areas where there were many Sunagakure people, causing chaos on the field.

"Don't be so arrogant, everyone attack together!"

Tosha commanded several Jonin to gather together, intending to teach this arrogant snake a lesson. "Wind Release: Wind Cutter!"

Multiple giant Wind Blade slashed towards the body of the Manda. Sensing the threatening attack, the long-haired youth standing atop the serpent's head immediately retaliated, shouting, "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Orochimaru unleashed terrifying power from a seemingly ordinary C-rank Ninjutsu. A massive, visible cloud of air collided with the Wind Blade. Although the collision wasn't completely neutralized, the airflow above it noticeably thinned out considerably.

"Sizzle..."

The small Wind Blade only managed to pierce a layer of the snake's skin when they struck Manda, while Orochimaru leaped down from above, showing no fear in the face of countless Sunagakure elites, unleashing "Ninja Art: Hidden Shadow Many Snake Hands!"

A vast sea of snakes appeared out of his body, devouring some of the Sunagakure before still not sparing these Elite Jonin.

Tosha drew his long sword and easily killed all the snakes around him. Orochimaru's information was widely circulated within Sunagakure. Although this Snake Ninjutsu was extremely annoying, taking down a top-tier Jonin was not so easy.

"Summoning Technique: Art of the Toad Confrontation!"

"BOOM!"

Suddenly, two Toad with long swords hanging on their backs descended from the sky, landing on the ground and crushing a group of Sunagakure to death. Those who jumped away were not spared either, being directly hit by the swinging giant swords. It is likely that their corpses will not be found intact after the battle.

"Haha, Toad Sage, Jiraiya here! We can't let Orochimaru steal the spotlight!" Jiraiya appeared on a Toad's head. "Konoha Ninja, perk up!"

"It's Lord Jiraiya and Lord Orochimaru! The Sannin are reunited today!" The Konoha army was jubilant. One of the more perceptive individuals shouted again, "Our reinforcements are on their way! Now is the time to counterattack!"

The expressions on the Sunagakure side changed, and many sensed something was wrong. Rasa immediately conjured his Sand Eye into the distance, exclaiming, "Damn it, is this a trap set by Konoha against us?"

In their field of vision, a large number of ninjas wearing Konoha Forehead Protector were heading straight for the battlefield. Judging from their appearance alone, they could all be identified as elite members of Konoha's Noble Clan. The situation was about to turn around for Sunagakure.

"There's no other way; the objective of this attack can no longer be achieved." Rasa's expression was grim. Konoha was even showing signs of not wanting them to leave; a change had to be made.

A Sand Clone was sent out to sneak away, and soon a signal sounded in the arena. Upon hearing this, many Sunagakure began to change their offensive posture, gathering in twos and threes, seemingly planning to retreat.

Just as Tosha was about to gather his teammates, Orochimaru spotted him and summoned a longsword, charging towards him.

"Damn it, you underestimate me!"

The two moved with incredible speed, exchanging blows as they moved. Tosha stared at the long sword in his hand, his expression changing. "Damn it, what kind of weapon is this?"

The sword in his hand suddenly ripped open with a huge gash, almost severing him completely. Orochimaru seized the moment of his hesitation and attacked again. Tosha, who dared not fight head-on, could only retreat continuously.

Seeing that he was in danger, Orochimaru's Sunagakure comrades immediately rushed towards him from all directions, intending to relieve his predicament.

He jumped back, catching his breath in the Tosha, but before he even landed, he sensed a strong chakra fluctuation behind him. As he turned around in shock, he saw a blinding flash of lightning rapidly approaching. "Damn it..."

Years of combat experience allowed him to respond correctly, his longsword flashing in an arc as he counterattacked the attacker, hoping to alleviate the crisis by inflicting heavy casualties on both sides.

Shuichi, who had infiltrated from underground to the battlefield, showed no fear whatsoever. It seemed that Sunagakure had no information about this technique, so it would be perfect to use this Elite Jonin a sacrifice.

The Lightning Cutter transformed into a sharp hand blade, precisely striking the notch of the Tosha longsword. In his moment of shock, Shuichi's right hand pierced through his body with the force of lightning, and this right-hand man of two generations of Kazekage died on the spot.

"Team Leader of Tosha!"

"Lord Tosha!"

Many Sunagakure around shouted in panic, and many couldn't help but glance over, only to have their opening exploited by the Konoha Ninja whose morale had soared, leading to another wave of casualties.

"How could this be? Tosha are like this..." Rasa and many Sunagakure experts' expressions changed drastically. The deaths of their own high-ranking members had a huge impact on the battle, and a single misstep could lead to a collapse.

Shuichi had just killed the man, didn't stop for a moment. He rushed to Orochimaru's side like lightning, his short sword flashing, and together with Orochimaru, they attacked from both sides, scattering the surrounding Sunagakure to pieces.

"Teacher, which defensive line is the Puppeteer unit on?" Shuichi asked.

Their team only had three people, so they naturally had to choose the best time to enter the battlefield. The sneak attack and elimination of Tosha was just the beginning.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya had excellent teamwork; as they moved quickly, they Jiraiya a hand gesture. The Sannin had worked together for many years and were naturally on the same wavelength.

"I see." Jiraiya's hands moved swiftly, Hand Seals. "Earth Release: Yellow Springs Swamp!"

In the battlefield, the ground in a certain area suddenly turned into soft mud. This was the place with the most Sunagakure Puppeteer, and there were a large number of Konoha Ninja corpses around it, which showed how powerful they were.

"What?"

"Everyone be careful, get out of here quickly and head to Lord Kazekage!"

Numerous Puppeteer used every trick in the book to try and escape this terrain.

But they didn't notice that Shuichi and Orochimaru had already circled around from the other side. Shuichi opened his vest, took out Scroll, and opened it to reveal two giant Shuriken. "Sensei, use that technique!"

"I know, I was prepared!"

The two threw their items with all their might, then simultaneously Hand Seals rapidly. "Ox-Dog-Dragon-Rat-Dog-Pig-Snake-Tiger, Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Several large Shuriken doubled in number as they flew, and the terrifying swarm of blades transformed into a death scythe, attacking the Sunagakure puppet.

Watch out behind you!

"No, get out of the way quickly..."

"It's over..."

Therefore, the Puppeteer disturbed by the Yellow Springs Swamp looked desperate. Many tried to jump up, and many others used their puppets to shield themselves, but none of them could stop the overwhelming Shuriken.

"Crack, crack..."

"Tear..."

As the Shuriken swept past, the sounds of puppets and human bodies shattering echoed continuously.

Moments later, the swamp was covered with severed limbs and mechanical parts. Only a few Puppeteer on the edge escaped, and when they looked back at this hellish scene, they trembled with fear.
