He immediately unleashed one of his signature Earth Release techniques.
He plunged both hands into the ground, then pulled outward.
A massive ball of earth rose into his hands.
Beneath it, he looked like an ant.
Yet in his hands, the ball seemed as weightless as cotton candy.
He hurled it viciously at Tayuya.
Without question, anyone struck by a ball of earth that size would be reduced to a pile of pulp.
Another whistle cut through the air as an arrow shot toward Zhou Cheng.
Tayuya's teammate wanted to attack Zhou Cheng to stop him from maintaining his Genjutsu.
Zhou Cheng smiled faintly and merely tilted his head, dodging the arrow fired from the shadows.
The ball of earth, dozens of meters across, was already above Tayuya, making her feel as though the entire sky had gone dark.
Only then did she realize that the ball looked familiar, as though she had seen it somewhere before.
But she gave it no further thought. As she dodged away, she continued playing her flute, commanding her Rage Ogres to attack Jirobo.
However, Jirobo was now in Curse Mark Stage Two, with his strength, speed, and every other physical ability greatly enhanced.
A few Rage Ogres were no match for him.
He took them down with one punch each. Within a few breaths, the Rage Ogres fell to the ground and vanished in puffs of white smoke.
Tayuya refused to give up and continued forming hand seals, preparing another summoning.
Just then, a figure reached Jirobo's side in a few leaps.
Immediately afterward, Sakon, who had just been fighting Haku, also jumped to Jirobo's side.
Senbon covered his body, making him look like a hedgehog.
As soon as he appeared, Haku jumped over to Zhou Cheng, looking ashamed.
"Big brother, I'm sorry.
