At that moment, an Anbu interrupted Chiyo's thoughts. "Elder Chiyo, the enemy's Combination Ninjutsu is excessively powerful. There may be a Kage-level expert casting Ninjutsu. What do we do?"
Chiyo thought for a moment. She could not immediately guess which Konoha Kage-level expert skilled in Fire Release or Wind Release had taken action. Many Kage-level experts possessed several chakra natures, and nearly all of Konoha's Kage-level fighters could use Wind Release or Fire Release. But the situation was urgent. This was no time to dwell on such things, and she could not afford to hesitate. She immediately took out more than a dozen puppets and controlled them simultaneously to unleash large-scale Wind Release.
This was the foundation Chiyo possessed as a Kage-level Puppet Master: a batch of puppets capable of using Wind Release Ninjutsu. However, these puppets could only use Ninjutsu once. Calling it the use of Ninjutsu was not entirely accurate. They were merely releasing Ninjutsu that had been sealed inside them beforehand. It was similar to the C-rank Ninjutsu scrolls Yichen had once made.
However, the principles involved were beyond Yichen's understanding. But one thing was certain: this was Chiyo's entire stockpile.
If another wave of Ninjutsu clashed, Sunagakure would not get off so easily.
And even with only this one wave, Sunagakure was far from having it easy.
Konoha had come prepared. Whether in chakra nature or power, their Ninjutsu far surpassed Sunagakure's. With the support of Chiyo's dozen large-scale Wind Release attacks, Sunagakure barely blocked this wave of offense, but the dozens of Sunagakure ninja who had just used Ninjutsu had consumed enormous amounts of Chakra. Their Chakra Amount was now less than a tenth of what it had been.
As soon as this exchange ended, the two sides quickly entered close combat. Yet instead of
