In an unprecedented battle, Zabuza Momochi Sasuke led dozens of Sky Hidden Village ninja to ambush Iwagakure's reinforcements.
However, the Iwagakure ninjas outnumbered the others. Even though Zabuza Momochi and Sasuke had absorbed Karin's chakra and regained a lot of strength, they were covered in wounds and had lost the ability to continue fighting after being overwhelmed by the Iwagakure ninjas' relentless attacks.
" Sasuke, we're probably going to die here!"
Barely supporting himself with his greatsword, Zabuza Momochi glanced around at the Iwagakure ninjas staring at him like wolves, and said in a low voice.
"It was an honor to fight alongside Captain Zabuza Momochi to the very last moment!!"
Zabuza Momochi, several sharp Shuriken were already stuck all over his body. Sasuke endured the pain and calmly replied.
"Then let's launch the final plan. Although some ninjas will still escape, I doubt they'll go to reinforce the Land of Iron."
Realizing that he and Sasuke had no power to resist, Zabuza's face Zabuza Momochi with rage. He looked at Sasuke and shouted.
"Receive!"
The final plan was something Sasuke and Zabuza Momochi had discussed before they arrived: if they were no match for the Iwagakure ninja, they would perish together with them.
"Kill them quickly, they want to take us all down with them..."
Remembering the Sky Hidden Village ninja A Gang A-Gon from earlier, a shrewd Iwagakure ninja suddenly spoke up.
"I'll take care of him!"
The person closest to Sasuke was a large Iwagakure ninja. After speaking, he stomped his foot heavily on the ground, the powerful force creating a crack in the ground. Using this force, he appeared in front of Sasuke almost instantly!
" Giant Rock Fist!"
The shadow of his massive body enveloped Sasuke, and his enlarged, petrified right fist suddenly slammed out. In that instant, it seemed as if even the air itself was torn in two, and a sharp, whistling sound spread outwards.
The piercing sound of wind cutting through the air echoed in Sasuke's ears. At this moment, he also felt a strong sense of crisis. His eyes were fixed on the fist that was enlarged in his pupils.
"This is terrible..."
Originally, Sasuke planned to use Kunai to scatter Explosive Tag around him and perish together with the Iwagakure ninja, but this close-range Iwagakure ninja disrupted Sasuke plan.
Given Sasuke's current physical condition, he is incapable of performing any miraculous feats and can only watch helplessly as he dies.
" Sasuke!"
Zabuza, who was not far away Zabuza Momochi seeing this, his face turning deathly pale. The Explosive Tag were all on Sasuke; if Sasuke fell, the final plan would not be completed.
"Secret Technique - Close-Range Counterattack!"
Just when everyone present thought Sasuke was doomed, a figure suddenly appeared next to Sasuke, and then the huge figure was suddenly sent flying backward, finally crashing heavily to the ground, leaving a glaring bloodstain.
As soon as the enormous figure landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood. All the eyes of the Iwagakure ninjas instantly focused on him, and then they all fell silent. In that instant, disbelief surged into their eyes.
Because the one who landed heavily injured and in a sorry state was not Sasuke as they had expected, but their comrade.
"What?"
"How... is this... possible?"
Before they could even realize what was happening, over a hundred Sky Hidden Village ninja appeared from several directions and surrounded them. Now, in terms of numbers, they were the weaker party.
" Uchiha Yashiro? Haha, our reinforcements have arrived!"
The sudden change in the scene left Zabuza Momochi a moment before he burst into laughter, his face beaming with undisguised ecstasy.
With short brown hair and distinctive markings around his eyes, the figure who rescued Sasuke was none other than Uchiha Yashiro, a capable lieutenant of Sky Shadow.
Sasuke, are you alright?
After defeating the enemy, Uchiha Yashiro stared at Sasuke and immediately asked with concern.
It was clear that there was a sense of awe in Uchiha Yashiro's eyes. In fact, on the way here, Uchiha Yashiro had thought that Zabuza, Sasuke and the others would be Zabuza Momochi out, after all, the difference in strength was huge. But he did not expect that Zabuza Momochi, Sasuke and the others would stubbornly hold back the reinforcements from Iwagakure.
"I'm fine, Uncle Yashiro, what brings you here?"
Having narrowly escaped death, Sasuke naturally breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in confusion.
"Upon learning that Iwagakure had dispatched a large force to reinforce the Land of Iron, Sky Shadow Tenkage immediately mobilized his guards and ordered me to come and provide reinforcements!"
"Thanks to you for intercepting the reinforcements, otherwise our plan to take over the Land of Iron would definitely have failed!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Yashiro's words, Sasuke scratched his head and smiled, saying, "We are all ninjas of Sky Hidden Village, and it is our duty to do anything for Sky Hidden Village!"
" Sasuke, Captain Zabuza Momochi, you two rest for a bit. Leave the rest to me!"
After summoning several medical ninjas to treat Sasuke, Zabuza Momochi, and the others, Uchiha Yashiro activated his Sharingan, and his expression turned extremely gloomy.
"Your Iwagakure, relying on your strength, surrounded and slaughtered my Sky Hidden Village ninja. Today, you won't be leaving alive!"
Hearing Uchiha Yashiro Iwagakure couldn't help but shrink back. It seemed that this time, they probably wouldn't be able to go back.
"Uncle Yashiro, let it go... let them go!"
Just as the other Sky Hidden Village ninjas were waiting for Uchiha Yashiro's order to attack, Sasuke suddenly spoke up.
"Hey, Sasuke, what are you saying? So many of our comrades have died, how can we let them go back?"
Zabuza Momochi, thinking Sasuke had said something wrong, frowned and quickly stopped him.
Uchiha Yashiro and Zabuza Momochi both stared at Sasuke with the same puzzled expression, as if they didn't understand.
"Sigh! Konoha and Kirigakure are now our enemies. If we wipe them out completely and provoke Iwagakure's fierce retaliation, we might not be able to withstand their combined attack!"
With a sigh, Sasuke slowly explained.
Sasuke actually wanted to kill these trembling Iwagakure ninjas, but considering the current situation of Sky Hidden Village, he had to give up.
Sometimes, faced with absolute power, one has no choice but to bow down. Just like the Uchiha Clan, they also wanted to stay in Konoha, but they were no match for the Konoha High Command, so they left their homeland to seek another way out.
After listening to Sasuke's explanation, Zabuza Momochi's chest heaved violently for a while before he slowly sat down, his rage subsiding slightly. Indeed, Sky Hidden Village had made too many enemies now.
"Please pass on my message to the Tsuchikage: Don't think that we, the Sky Hidden Village Sky Hidden Village, are easy to bully. If you offend us again, we will not let it go!"
"Get out!"
Uchiha Yashiro was a rational person and naturally understood Sasuke's reasoning. In the end, he was somewhat helpless and spoke to the Iwagakure ninja.
"Retreat immediately!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Yashiro's fierce shout, the Iwagakure ninjas, who had already lost all will to fight, hurriedly retreated like a tide, finally scrambling into the deep mountains in a disheveled state.
