Battle (2)

"Wind Style? Vacuum Wave!"

The middle-aged Sand Ninja only completed his hand seals at this moment, but the surface of the flesh ball was already smeared with blood, leaving a bloody trail in its rolling path.

The middle-aged Sand Ninja spat out a long, slanted wind blade wave from his mouth, slashing fiercely at the flesh ball in front of him.

Bang!

The flesh ball collided with the wind blade, but its speed was only slightly hindered. The long wind blade was shattered in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the middle-aged ninja could only choose to evade.

But just as he was about to jump away, he discovered that the rolling flesh ball had actually stopped. Two giant arms extended from both sides of the flesh ball, sweeping across and grabbing him.

"Ah! You guys are no match for this guy, run!" The middle-aged Sand Ninja struggled with all his might, but the giant palm seemed to be cast from steel. No matter how he struggled, there was no hope of breaking free.

"Captain Cheng Tian!" The other Sand Ninja's eyes showed anxiety. Instead of obeying the middle-aged man's advice, they rushed forward one after another, intending to rescue him.

"Are you all a bunch of idiots?!"

"Run!" Captain Cheng Tian was squeezed by the giant palm, his body making cracking sounds. His eyes were bloodshot.

After shouting these two sentences, he found himself unable to breathe. He could only watch helplessly as the other palm was raised high.

When the palm was raised to the sky, it seemed to inflate like blowing air, suddenly expanding by another level. Just as the shadow was about to envelop the group of Sand Ninja.

The palm slammed down!

Captain Cheng Tian closed his eyes, his heart filled with bitterness. Were all these youths, who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy, going to perish here?

"I'm still too weak..." The figures of the youths flashed through Captain Cheng Tian's mind.

Boom!

A sharp whistling sound cut through the air, followed by a violent impact.

Captain Cheng Tian felt his body suddenly rise into the air, then fall to the ground. For a moment, his dazed consciousness made him unable to determine if he was still alive.

But the pain that surged from all over his body in the next moment filled him with joy, because the fact that he could still feel pain meant his life was still intact.

When he recovered, he found himself lying on the ground, a group of stunned young Sand Ninja a few meters away.

To his left and behind him, a deeper gouge was plowed into the ground. Following the gouge, a golden spear was inserted into the chest of the Konoha ninja who had just used the giant transformation.

His face bore the characteristic markings of the Aburame clan, and he wore dark red armor.

But it was clear that the defensive power of this armor was insignificant in front of the golden spear. This Aburame clan ninja was at his last breath, as the golden spear had pierced his heart.

Before his consciousness completely plunged into darkness, he heard the excited shouts of the Sunagakure ninja: "Lord Souya!"

Souya briefly examined Captain Cheng Tian's injuries. He had multiple bone fractures and internal bleeding, but fortunately, his consciousness was still very clear.

"You guys take him to the rear!" Souya said calmly. Although Souya's Mystical Palm Technique could heal him, it was a critical stage of the war, and Souya could not waste his Chakra time here.

"Lord Souya! We..." The Sand Ninja seemed quite resistant to this order. After all, before going to the battlefield, their seniors had always told them that being a deserter was the most shameful thing. They would rather die on the battlefield than run away or defect.

If they were caught by the village for desertion, their fate would be worse than death!

"This is an order. In your current state, you are no longer of any use in this war. Remember what you saw today, turn your grief into motivation, and you can contribute more to the village." Souya turned, leaving an irrefutable statement, and departed.

Just as Souya and the group of young ninja left, a mound of earth suddenly emerged from the ground.

The mound moved very quickly, as if a fish were swimming in water.

In the blink of an eye, the mound reached the Aburame clan ninja, and then with a whoosh.

The figure that appeared on the surface was none other than Orochimaru!

Orochimaru's aura was somewhat weak at the moment, indicating that breaking free from the move Souya had put so much effort into was not easy for him.

"I didn't expect Sunagakure to have such a character..." Orochimaru stuck out his scarlet tongue, licking his upper lip. He gazed in the direction Souya had left, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.

"Heh heh! I've been short on materials lately, this is a perfect opportunity..." Orochimaru turned his gaze to the corpse of the Aburame clan ninja.

Orochimaru eagerly bent down, placing one hand on the golden spear. Then, he formed a sword finger with his other hand, and fine blue light emerged.

The golden spear instantly disintegrated and slid down towards the corpse, like a pool of dense yellow sand.

Then Orochimaru opened his mouth, spat out a scroll, sealed the corpse, and swallowed it back into his abdomen.

If Souya had seen this scene, he would have definitely gone forward to ask Orochimaru how he played with Sealing Techniques so skillfully...

After Souya, the main combatant, joined, Sunagakure began to turn the tide of the battlefield.

The Konoha ninja were retreating at a considerable speed.

Before long, the Sunagakure ninja had pushed to the entrance of a canyon.

If they could break through this canyon, they would face Kikyo Mountain.

The Konoha ninja naturally knew the strategic importance of this canyon.

"Ryuhei! What do we do now?"

"Lord Orochimaru isn't here!" shouted a Uchiha ninja.

The Konoha ninja fought and retreated, all heading towards the canyon entrance to secure advantageous terrain.

The proud Uchiha clan, at this moment, chose to cover the retreat, showing that their sense of honor was indeed quite strong.

"Don't worry, those Sunagakure scum must have used some underhanded tactics to temporarily trap Lord Orochimaru. Their leader is so young, he couldn't possibly be Lord Orochimaru's opponent!"

"We've already sent out a distress signal. We just need to hold on. We absolutely cannot let them occupy Kikyo Mountain!" Uchiha Longping shouted, his Three Tomoe Sharingan glaring, as he rallied the troops.

He brandished his kunai, cutting down two Sand Ninja who dared to attack him.

Ordinary Chunin were no match for him, clearly demonstrating his formidable strength.

However, such outstanding strength naturally caught Souya's eye very quickly.

"Eyes with Three Tomoe are rare!" Souya was, of course, also interested in the Sharingan.
