Pfft—
A sharp blade pierced through a Chunin's chest.
Qian looked back and glanced at his two teammates.
Then he nodded in satisfaction.
These two were worthy of being Anbu elites. Even without any serious prior communication, they had quickly understood what he meant and coordinated with him.
Now, on Sunagakure's side, the strongest one, the Jonin squad leader, was being held back by the Inuzuka clan ninja and his ninja hound, while the other Sand shinobi, under Aburame Zhihui's swarm attacks without regard for cost, had no choice but to defend themselves.
It could be said that the two of them had perfectly completed the task he had given them.
In that case, it was time for him to act.
With that thought, Qian stopped wasting time and immediately pushed the Flash Sword Technique to its limit. His figure flickered as he continuously struck down the low- and mid-ranked ninja who could not react in time.
That was right. Among this second wave of Sand shinobi, there were not only Chunin, but also several Genin.
Although Sunagakure, due to its shortage of resources, practiced elite education, and the Genin it trained were generally quite strong, no matter how strong they were, they could not surpass a standard Chunin.
And whether they were Chunin or Genin, before his extreme speed and power, it was all settled with a single slash.
So their casualties were truly heavy.
As for why Sunagakure would send over ninja at the level of Genin and Chunin?
Qian guessed that it was still Orochimaru's doing. The other party wanted to use Sunagakure's hand to wear down their strength, not have Sunagakure capture or kill them.
In that case, he naturally could not have given them accurate intelligence.
And this caused Sunagakure to misjudge their combat strength.
