The frigid mist silently condensed into frost, clinging to the Konoha shinobi. Threads of cold rapidly seeped into their bodies, causing their movements to stiffen in an instant.
Just as they realized something was wrong, sharp icicles shot out of the mist like kunai, effortlessly piercing their bodies!
Blooms of blood erupted, and in the blink of an eye, nearly ten Konoha shinobi had died miserably at Haku's hands.
The boy who had once fled endlessly had grown into a terrifying super-assassin during more than a year of mercenary work.
Combined with Gaara's relentless long-range attacks, the Konoha shinobi along this section of the wall were quickly pinned down by overwhelming firepower.
With Kimimaro's close-range assault and slaughter added to the mix, this section of the defense was already on the verge of collapse.
Sasuke joined the battle as well.
A large number of black markings resembling flames emerged across his body. As the Cursed Seal appeared, the Natural Energy in the surrounding air rapidly gathered into his body, significantly enhancing his physical strength, speed, and power.
With this enhancement, the Konoha genin and chunin before him had no ability to fight back at all.
But Konoha's jonin soon rushed over.
Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!
Surging flames blasted apart the spreading icy mist and lunged straight at Sasuke and Kimimaro.
Meanwhile, another jonin leaped over the wall. Guided by a Hyuga Clan shinobi behind him, he charged directly toward Gaara and Haku.
"Hmph, using Fire Release ninjutsu in front of me?"
A trace of disdain flashed across Sasuke's face beneath his mask. He immediately formed hand seals, mixed in the Natural Energy within his body, and spat out an enormous fireball.
