Ōnoki's eyes widened and he shouted hoarsely, "Spread out! Spread out! Fight! Fight!"
But it's too late.
Mahoraga rushed into the crowd, and Sword of Extermination swept past.
The sword body was wrapped with pure positive energy, and wherever it passed, dozens of Iwagakure Ninja were cut in half.
There was no blood spurting out, no stumps flying around. The moment they were slashed by Sword of Extermination, their bodies directly turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.
At that moment, the entire battlefield fell silent.
Not really quiet, but the kind of deathly silence that is choked by fear.
Everyone looked at the disappeared companions, looked at the comrades who didn't even leave their bodies behind, and their minds went blank.
Then, fear broke out.
"Weird... monster!"
"Run! Run!"
"Can't beat it! Can't beat it at all!"
Some people dropped their weapons and turned around to run, some people's legs became weak and collapsed on the ground, some people huddled up with their heads in their hands, and some people muttered to themselves as if they were crazy.
Ten thousand people, after Mahoraga's first sword, instantly collapsed by 10%.
But there are still 90%.
These are veterans who have experienced countless battles, the elite of Iwagakure, troops trained by Ōnoki himself.
Although they were scared and frightened, their military instinct allowed them to react immediately.
"Steady! Steady!"
"Group of three, spread out the attack!"
"Earth Release ninja comes forward and restricts its movement!"
"The long-range attacker is ready, concentrate your firepower!"
The voices of commanders at all levels rang out in the chaos, and the position was gradually stabilized.
Those who collapsed and fled were stopped, those who were slumped on the ground were pulled up, and those who were at a loss were organized.
Iwagakure, start counterattack.
Mahoraga stood in the center of the crowd, his huge body like a black mountain.
Its wheel rotates slowly, making a low buzzing sound. The sound is like a death knell from hell, echoing in everyone's ears.
"Earth Release·Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!"
Dozens of Earth Release ninjas launched attacks at the same time, and countless sharp stone spears instantly rose from the ground, stabbing Mahoraga from all directions.
Mahoraga did not hide.
Those stone spears stabbed it, some broke, and some pierced the skin, leaving scars.
But Mahoraga didn't even frown, if it had any.
It just lowered its head and glanced at the scars, then waved Sword of Extermination and swept across with a sword, and the dozens of Earth Release ninjas instantly turned into ashes.
But at this moment, the second round of attacks arrived.
"Fire Release·Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Lightning Release·Thunderball!"
"Wind Release·Great Breakthrough!"
All kinds of ninjutsu were overwhelmingly thrown at Mahoraga. Flames, thunder and lightning, and strong winds intertwined into a storm of destruction, completely engulfing the monster.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosion was deafening, Kakko rose into the sky, and smoke filled half the sky.
"Did it hit?"
"Dead?"
"An attack of that level should..."
Before he finished speaking, a huge silhouette slowly appeared in the smoke.
Mahoraga walked out of the smoke and dust, its body covered with scars, blackened by burns, cracked by lightning strikes, and cut by wind blades. But it was still standing, still alive, still... unscathed?
No.
Those scars are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And, the roulette wheel spun a bit.
Buzz--
With that buzzing sound, the scars on Mahoraga's body healed completely, as if he had never been injured.
Everyone's expressions changed.
"How is it possible..."
"Such a strong attack..."
"It... what kind of monster is it?!"
Although the most powerful thing about Mahoraga is his adaptability, in fact, his basic value is not low, and it is much stronger than E Tu.
But Mahoraga didn't give them time to think.
It rushed into the crowd, and Sword of Extermination waved again. This time, it was no longer a simple sweep, but a real dance of killing.
Wherever the sword light passed, dozens of people were turned into ashes again.
It is like a never-ending killing machine, rampaging through the crowd. Iwagakure Ninja falls down every second, and lives disappear every moment.
On the battlefield, screams, wails, and calls for help occurred one after another.
"Spread out! Spread out!"
Kitsuchi rushed to the front, hands crazy Hand Seals.
"Earth Release·Earth Release: Mountain Soil Technique!"
Two huge mountains of earth rose from the ground, squeezing Mahoraga from both sides. That was Kitsuchi's famous technique, and he once used this move to suppress Tailed Beast.
Boom!
The two mountains of earth collided hard, sandwiching Mahoraga in the middle.
"Suppressed?!" Kitsuchi's eyes lit up.
But the next moment, his expression changed.
In the center of the soil Yamanaka, a crack appeared.
Then the second way, the third way, the fourth way--
Boom!
The earth mountain exploded, Mahoraga broke out of the mountain, Sword of Extermination smashed straight into Kitsuchi.
Kitsuchi's pupils suddenly shrank and he threw himself to the side desperately.
Poof!
The sword light grazed his shoulder. Although it did not hit directly, the aftermath of the positive energy still made half of his body lose consciousness instantly.
He fell heavily to the ground, vomited blood and could not get up again.
"Kitsuchi--!"
The roar of Ōnoki came.
He was suspended in mid-air, and light had begun to condense between his hands. That was Dust Release's Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique, the ultimate ninjutsu that could break down everything into atomic levels.
But that technique takes time.
It takes enough time to condense chakra, lock on to the target, and launch an attack.
And Mahoraga will not give him time at all.
It looked up at Ōnoki, and its eyeless face seemed to be "watching" him.
Then it flicked its tail and struck Ōnoki.
Ōnoki had to interrupt Dust Release and dodge desperately.
The tail brushed past his body and hit the ground behind him, creating a large crater several feet deep.
"Damn it!" Ōnoki gritted his teeth.
He knew that with Mahoraga's speed and reaction, his Dust Release couldn't hit him at all. As soon as he started to condense, Mahoraga would immediately dodge or attack him directly.
Doesn't this monster... have any weaknesses?
"Get out of the way! Let me come!"
A figure wrapped in steam rushed over.
Han.
Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Boil Release Ninja. His injuries have not healed properly, and there is still blood on the bandage on his chest, but he can no longer care about that much at the moment.
"Boil Release·Boil Release: Unrivaled Strength!"
The steam exploded, his speed surged to the extreme, and his whole body turned into a stream of white light, punching Mahoraga in the back.
Boom!
That punch hit Mahoraga's body firmly, and the huge force made Mahoraga's body shake slightly.
Han's eyes lit up.
"Hit!"
But the next moment, his smile solidified.
Mahoraga slowly turned his head and "looked" at him.
That punch only left a shallow punch mark on its body. And that punch mark was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"How is it possible..." Han murmured.
Mahoraga's snake's tail has swung over.
