Suppressing a Self-Destruction with a Raised Hand, an Ancient Fiend Bursts from Underground!
The sky was stained iron gray by the smoke, and the afternoon sunlight could not penetrate this desolate valley at all.
Boom! A Fireball Jutsu Fire Release into the sandbag bunker, sending dirt flying everywhere.
Tenten, he vigorously wiped the mud and blood off his face, frantically Hand Seals with his ten fingers.
"Twin Rising Dragons!"
Two enormous scrolls of ninja tools soared into the air, and the last Kunai and Senbon rained down like a storm, pinning the three Impure World Reincarnation soldiers at the forefront to the rock wall.
But these dead people felt no pain. Their bodies were riddled with ninja tools, their limbs were missing, yet they still moved forward numbly. The Impure World Reincarnation debris from their wounds churned and swirled, and in the blink of an eye, they were completely healed.
"Captain! We've run out of Explosive Tag!" an Allied Shinobi Forces Genin, his voice cracking and his throat full of sand.
"Where's the supply truck?" Tenten didn't even turn her head, and once again summoned a heavy horse-slaying sword. The backlash had already torn the tiger's mouths of her hands.
"It's been Fire Release! The fire is too intense; we can't pull it out at all!"
He gritted his teeth Tenten, his arms trembling uncontrollably from the continuous high-intensity use of spiritual weapons.
The valley on the east side is the most important logistical choke point for the Allied Shinobi Forces. Once this Edo Tensei Army breaks through, the hundreds of thousands of ninjas on the front line will be completely cut off from food and medicine.
"Hold on to the death! Even if it costs us our lives, we'll keep these dead here!" Tenten dragged her broadsword, leaped out of cover, and cleaved down an Impure World Reincarnation Sand Ninja who charged forward.
Just then, a sickening scraping sound came from the thick fog ahead.
A man with spiky hair and a black eyepatch over his right eye emerged. His arms were wrapped in bandages, and his pale face looked particularly ferocious in the Kakkō.
"Hidden Rock Explosion Release Corps, Hunt." Tenten recognized the person at a glance, and her heart sank to the bottom.
This killing machine with its Kekkei Genkai is an unsolvable meat grinder in this confined terrain.
Without uttering a single word, Shou's leg muscles bulged, and his body shot out like a cannonball, moving so fast that only a blur remained.
He instantly rushed to the first defensive iron net that Tenten had set up, raised his right fist, and slammed it down hard.
"Burst!"
A low, emotionless growl.
Boom!
A blinding white light instantly engulfed the iron net, and a terrifying blast wave swept out in a fan shape. The three-meter-high steel net was torn to shreds, and more than a dozen Allied Shinobi Forces ninjas were blown away by the blast wave before they could even scream, crashing heavily against the mountainside.
Tenten was thrown back several steps by the aftershocks, his broadsword digging deep into the ground, carving a deep trench before he could barely regain his footing.
Shou gave the Allied Shinobi Forces no chance to catch their breath. He took another step forward, crossing the defensive line, his target aimed directly at the core position of the Sealing Squad behind Tenten.
"This unrestricted body is really useful." Hunt's voice was hoarse and grating, and his right fist once again glowed with even more dazzling explosive Chakra.
He wanted to blow this place, along with the people and the position, to ashes.
Tenten took a deep breath, his hands rapidly Hand Seals, preparing to overdraw Chakra to forcibly summon a heavy defensive ninja tool.
But a chilling aura suddenly surged from behind her, instantly sweeping past her shoulder. The cold air rapidly condensed in the mud in front of her, transforming into a thick, crystalline ice shield.
Bang!
Hunt's Explosion Release punch slammed into the ice shield, the Kakkō of the explosion were suffocated by the extreme cold ice, leaving only a ring of cracked white marks on the surface.
A hint of surprise flashed in Shoukongdong's eyes as he leaped backward.
A stunningly beautiful girl in a white kimono slowly emerged from behind the lines.
Bai's eyes were extremely cold, devoid of any warmth. The air around her was rapidly cooling, and the mud and water on the ground quickly froze into frost, spreading all the way to Shou's feet.
"Miss Tenten, please step back." Bai's hands flew rapidly in front of her chest, at a speed that was dazzling.
"A hand Hand Seals with one hand?" Shou frowned.
"Secret Technique: Thousand Flying Water Needles!"
The moisture in the air instantly condensed into countless sharp Ice Senbon, which rained down on Hunt's vital points.
Hunti snorted coldly and swung his fists repeatedly. Explosion Release Chakra exploded in front of him in a series of bursts, turning into layers of violent air waves that shattered all the Ice Senbon needles.
"You think you can stop Explosion Release with such a weak attack?" Hunting broke through the ice shards, like a raging rhinoceros, and charged straight at White.
Haku did not retreat. He clasped his hands together, and the massive amount of extremely cold Chakra within his body erupted with a roar.
"Ice Release: Absolute Zero Seal!"
Click!
The frost beneath his feet instantly surged, transforming into four thick ice pillars that locked him firmly in the middle like a prison. The ice layer rapidly climbed up his calves, freezing him into a crystal-clear ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.
Just as Tenten breathed a sigh of relief, she discovered that a blinding red light suddenly shone from inside the ice sculpture.
"He's compressing his Chakra to an extreme degree! He's going to self-destruct!" Tenten exclaimed in shock.
Hunting compressed all of his Explosion Release Chakra into his body, preparing to perish along with this Impure World Body and everything around him.
The once indestructible ice layer began to develop numerous cracks on its surface. The red light grew stronger and stronger, as if it could explode completely at any moment.
Her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were extremely determined. Her Chakra surged into the ice layer like a burst dam, attempting to forcefully suppress the devastating explosion.
However, the full-force self-destruction of the Kekkei Genkai was extremely terrifying, and the speed at which the ice layer repaired could not keep up with the speed at which it cracked.
"Bai! Run! We can't stop them!" Tenten shouted, reaching out to pull her.
Bai remained motionless, her feet already rooted to the ground in the ice.
Just as the cracks widened to their limit and an explosion was about to burst forth from the body.
A golden bolt of lightning tore through the sky and crashed down.
Naruto's broad, tall back blocked Haku's path. The pure golden Yang Release Chakra, like a blazing sun, instantly dispelled the thick smoke and deathly aura in the valley.
"Trying to self-destruct on my turf? Did you even ask me?" Naruto sneered, his right hand, bound by golden chains, slamming down onto the cracked ice sculpture.
"Adamantine Sealing Chains - Town!"
Extremely violent Yang Release Chakra was brutally poured into Kari's body through the cracks in the ice.
The originally frenzied and ready-to -Explosion Release Chakra, upon encountering this extremely pure life energy, was like a mouse encountering a cat, instantly weakening and dissipating.
The red light quickly dimmed, and the destructive pressure within the ice sculpture decreased sharply.
"Keep it sealed!" Naruto ordered, turning his head to the white wall.
Without any hesitation, Haku unleashed his extreme Ice Release once more, reinforcing the entire ice sculpture with three layers of ice, completely transforming the caravan into a giant piece of transparent amber.
"Tenten! Get to work!" Naruto shouted sternly.
Tenten was well-prepared. She leaped into the air, and a specially made, super-large sealing scroll was flung out with a "whoosh" and accurately stuck to the ice sculpture.
"Seal up!"
A burst of white smoke exploded, the huge ice sculpture disappeared, and a bright red "seal" character appeared in the center of the scroll.
The deadly crisis has been averted.
Heavy, labored breathing echoed across the Allied Shinobi Forces positions, a sound amplified by the relief of those who had survived the ordeal.
Naruto turned around and looked at Haku, who was still catching his breath.
Her kimono was stained with mud and water at the edges, and her originally fair face was covered with streaks of black ash, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
Naruto raised his hand and forcefully wiped the dust off her cheek with his rough thumb.
"Well done. You didn't push yourself too hard just now, did you?" His voice was domineering and undeniable, yet it also carried a hint of warmth.
Haku shook his head, looked directly into Naruto's eyes, and said in an extremely serious tone:
"Naruto, I'm no longer just a tool that obeys orders. I can defend this position, and what's behind you."
Back in the Wave Country, the girl who only thought about being someone else's "weapon" finally grew her own bones at this moment and understood what she truly wanted to protect.
Naruto's lips curled into a smug smile as he casually ruffled her long hair, "Remember this, you're mine. I set the rules, so you can fight as much as you want. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up!"
These words, though not deliberately raised in volume, resonated deeply with all the Allied Shinobi Forces ninjas on this scorched earth, giving them a sense of reassurance.
At that moment, from the depths of the mist ahead, came the sound of unhurried footsteps.
Tap, tap, tap.
Accompanied by thick moisture, that familiar, nauseating stench of blood once again enveloped the area.
"What a touching reunion, Bai."
The hoarse voice seemed to drift from the depths of hell.
The tall figure gradually came into focus.
Zabuza Momochi, Impure World Reincarnation Tensei, carried the broken Kubikiribōchō on his shoulder, his empty eyes fixed intently on Haku and Naruto through the bandages.
The surrounding temperature plummeted, becoming even colder than Bai's Ice Release.
This is true killing intent. The killing intent of Demon.
A control talisman specially made by Kabuto Yakushi 'Zabuza neck. His hands were already gripping the hilt of his sword uncontrollably.
"Naruto... Haku..." Zabuza's lips moved stiffly, "Escape... I can't control this damn body..."
Bai took a step forward. Her hand was already on the Ice Senbon at her waist.
Back then, she shielded him from Chidori with her life.
Today, she must sever this ill-fated relationship herself.
Naruto didn't stop him; he simply crossed his arms, his golden Chakra Cloak fluttering in the wind.
"Go, use the rules for the living, send him back to the underworld to rest." Naruto's voice was as cold as iron.
Just as Bai pulled out the Ice Senbon.
Naruto's brows furrowed sharply, his gaze piercing the ground beneath their feet like a sharp sword.
Within the perception network of the Great Evolution Divine Soul Art, an extremely ancient and extremely violent Chakra is rising wildly from the depths of the earth at a terrifying speed!
Their target was the heart of the eastern valley where they were located!
This aura is a hundred times more dangerous than that of Kari and Zabuza before!
"There's something underground! Everyone scatter at full speed!" Naruto shouted fiercely, his body radiating golden light.
Boom--!
Before they could finish speaking, the ground dozens of meters in front of them suddenly exploded, sending mud and rocks flying into the sky. A huge black shadow, carrying a roaring death aura, smashed through the earth and landed right in the center of the battlefield.
