"An ordinary Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall couldn't withstand our combined chakra assault! This brat's chakra is far purer than an ordinary Chunin's!"
Another Sunagakure ninja spoke gravely, his expression finally turning serious.
The Sunagakure leader's face darkened completely, his gaze sharp as a blade. "I never expected someone among Konoha's younger generation to be hiding so much strength.
I underestimated you."
"On the battlefield, underestimating your enemy is the gravest mistake."
Kawaki Aoba waved a hand, dismissing the Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall. The scattered sand slowly settled to the ground. He still stood firm, his clothes neat and entirely unscathed. "You were arrogant and careless from the start. You were never going to win this fight."
"What a sharp tongue!"
The Sunagakure leader snorted, his killing intent growing stronger. "A little strength, and you think you can act so arrogantly! Today, I'll shatter that confidence and show you the true power of Sunagakure's elite! Everyone, switch tactics! Spread out and attack from all sides! Break through his defenses!"
The remaining four Sunagakure ninja immediately shifted positions, spreading out in four directions and completely cutting off Kawaki Aoba's escape routes. The kunai in their hands gleamed coldly as they gathered chakra, preparing to strike.
"Four attackers, every direction sealed off. Let's see how you defend against this!"
The Sunagakure leader raised a hand with a sneer, tiny sand blades gathering at his fingertips. "Wind Release: Sand Blade Assault!"
Countless small, razor-sharp sand blades suddenly burst from the swirling sand, flying thick and fast toward vital points all over Kawaki Aoba's body. They were as swift as lightning, their angles viciously tricky.
At the same time, the four scattered Sunagakure ninja charged in together, combining their close-range attacks with the distant sand blades to form a perfectly coordinated assault.
