Then, they drew closer and closer!
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in Hikari's eyes grew brighter and brighter too.
Until most of Sunagakure's forces had entered her team's ambush zone.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!!!"
As Hikari struck, the others attacked alongside her.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!" × N
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
Those who knew Fire Style unleashed Fire Style attacks.
Those who knew Earth Release used it to block their escape.
Those who knew neither Earth Release nor Fire Style used Wind Release to fan the flames!
Those who knew none of those unleashed whatever they could.
This ambush caught Sunagakure completely off guard!
Leading Sunagakure's forces was their Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Protection!" Rasa reacted the moment he sensed the violent chakra fluctuations above.
Knowing he had fallen into an ambush, Rasa immediately unleashed a defensive ninjutsu unique to his kekkei genkai.
Vast amounts of golden dust appeared in the air, rapidly forming an enormous shield that enclosed Rasa and the surrounding Sand ninja.
This gold dust shield was not only incredibly sturdy, but could also absorb the force of enemy attacks and convert it into its own energy.
However, despite Rasa's best efforts to deploy his defensive ninjutsu, his strength was limited.
With such a massive force, he could only protect some of them, powerless to cover the areas beyond his reach.
Most of Sunagakure's forces were genin and chunin, whose relatively weak abilities made it difficult to withstand this sudden attack.
Despair filled their hearts when they realized their retreat had been cut off.
Faced with large-scale offensive ninjutsu unleashed by Konoha's elite jonin and even Kage-level fighters, they had no choice but to await death.
"Aaaaaaaaaah..."
For a moment, screams rang out
