She cleaved through the few weaker ninjutsu with a single slash, then danced gracefully across the battlefield.
Wherever she passed, blood sprayed in bright arcs. Her blade fell, leaving severed limbs and a river of blood in its wake.
Seeing things go awry, several Sunagakure Jonin rushed forward to stop her.
Just then, Yan appeared on the flank. A Sharingan Genjutsu froze a Jonin for a second, and Rin immediately followed up, beheading him with a single stroke.
Several A-rank techniques then skimmed past the flames, descending on Rin together with a howling gale.
"Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation!"
An enormous surge of chakra burst forth, and countless Wind Blades spun around a hemispherical dome.
Protected by both the Wind Element and Palm Rotation, the gale and flames were swept along, their force redirected as they spun with the technique.
Rin panted lightly and slowly crouched down.
The instant kills and Palm Rotation had just cost her thirty percent of her chakra. The hard fight was only beginning.
"She's running low on chakra! Kill that Hyuga first!"
The Jonin sent two men to hold off Uchiha Yan, while Rin had to face the full force of Sunagakure's attack.
"Konoha White Fang!"
The black-haired kunoichi bared her teeth when she saw White Fang appear out of nowhere, nearly killing her husband.
Shuomo merely looked at her coldly. He had nothing to say to shinobi from outside the village, least of all Sunagakure, who had started the war.
The red-haired man was close to the black-haired kunoichi, but there was just enough of a gap for Shuomo to exploit. He had to make the most of this brief opening.
Otherwise, his student might soon be on the brink of death.
Shuomo's eyes narrowed. He took out a Custom Kunai and pressed its mechanism.
