Hatake Sakumo exploded into motion, charging straight at Rasa.
Wind Release: Net!
One of the Elite Jonin beside Rasa made his move.
Several Elite Jonin poured their Chakra into the technique together, forming a massive wall of wind shaped like a net.
Hatake Sakumo's eyes flashed. This again.
A Net cast by a single Elite Jonin would have been easy for Hatake Sakumo to cut through. But this Ninjutsu had been cast by several of them together.
And Wind Release had an advantage over Lightning Release. Hatake Sakumo could force his way through, but it would only waste his strength.
Especially with Rasa nearby, watching for an opening.
Hatake Sakumo had no choice but to rely on his speed to evade the attack.
Rasa smiled.
If they kept this up, Hatake Sakumo would eventually run out of strength.
And even if he did not, Konoha could no longer hold off Sunagakure's assault.
This time, Konoha would fall!
Things were much the same on Tsunade's side.
Only there, Ebizo and a group of Elite Jonin were the ones holding her back.
The area around Tsunade and Ebizo's battle had been reduced to ruins.
Several battered puppets lay sprawled across the ground at odd angles, making for an eerie sight.
All ten of Ebizo's fingers danced as though he were playing a piano.
Click, clack.
The fallen puppets rose again and lunged at Tsunade.
Tsunade's gaze sharpened. She did not dare let down her guard. She raised her right leg and swept it out.
Boom!
A sudden sonic boom rang out in midair.
The two puppets closest to Tsunade flew backward as if struck by a giant hammer and slammed hard into the ground.
The other two dodged just as Tsunade was about to hit them, firing a volley of Kunai from
