Outside Sunagakure.
The fierce battle between Hizuki's and Iwasaki's forces was in full swing, with the sounds of explosions and battle cries echoing through the night sky.
Inside Sunagakure, a similarly tense and intense battle atmosphere prevailed, as if the entire village had been dragged into an inescapable nightmare.
Inside a dilapidated house in Sunagakure, an old woman was tightly embracing her young grandson, shivering under the bed.
The sounds of battle outside were like the howls of demons, filling her with terror.
An ordinary person would be completely at a loss for what to do in this situation; she didn't even know why those ninja masters had suddenly started fighting.
And those young people, who weren't ninjas at all, still rushed out with weapons; it was simply unbelievable.
Now there isn't a single safe place in the entire village.
Whether it was for power or something else... she didn't understand, and had no way of knowing.
All he knew was that his and his grandson's fates were now intertwined with the flames of war, and they could be plunged into utter ruin at any moment.
The village used to be poor, but at least everyone could live a stable life. Now, all of that has been shattered, and it's filled with the unknown and fear.
She dared not make any loud noise, fearing she would be caught in the fighting outside. She could only silently pray that this terrible battle would end soon so that they could live in peace.
"Grandma, I'm scared..." The grandson's trembling voice echoed in the darkness.
The old woman hugged him tighter with heartache, gently patting his back, trying to offer him some comfort.
"Don't be afraid, child, we'll be safe here."
But her own voice trembled noticeably, and her eyes were filled with fear and worry.
at the same time.
After wiping out the Council of Elders ninjas in the southern mining area, the armed forces led by Lan immediately moved on to other battlefields.
His cybernetic ninjas scattered and spread throughout the entire Sunagakure.
"Minister Lan, a large number of Council of Elders ninjas have been spotted ahead, estimated to be around one hundred, and they are approaching us!"
An urgent voice came through the communicator.
Lan's eyes sharpened, and she Chakra sword tightly, replying, "Maintain formation and prepare for battle! Our mission is to wipe out the Council of Elders's influence within the village; leave no one alive!"
Five hundred ninja cloaks quickly formed a battle formation.
The firearms unit followed at the rear, raising their Chakra weapons and aiming forward; the Taijutsu ninjas were in front, their various ninja tools poised to fire; and the Ninjutsu units were scattered on both sides, ready to unleash their Ninjutsu at any moment.
The moonlight in the night sky was obscured by thick clouds, plunging the streets into darkness.
Only the occasional flashes of Chakra and the Kakkō from explosions barely illuminated the battlefield.
"They're here!"
Dust billowed ahead as over a hundred Council of Elders ninjas charged forward menacingly.
Earth Release: Earth Wall Technique!
The leading Council of Elders ninja shouted, and a thick earthen wall rose up in front of them.
" Wind Release: Wild Wind Dance!"
Several more ninjas unleashed Wind Release Ninjutsu, creating a whirlwind that swept towards the cybernetic ninja, carrying sand and stones like a ferocious mudslide.
Lan sneered and decisively gave the order.
"Armored units, attack the weak points in the earthen walls and break through their defenses! Taijutsu, prepare to close in and break through! Ninjutsu units, use Wind Release to neutralize their Wind Release, then unleash Fire Style!"
The order was given, and the cybernetic ninjas acted swiftly.
The Chakra beams from the gunners rained down on the earthen wall, stirring up dust and debris on its surface. Cracks began to appear on the wall under the attack.
The ninja from the Ninjutsu unit raised their arms.
" Wind Release: Gale Technique!"
A reverse gust of wind howled out, colliding with the Wind Release of the Council of Elders ninjas.
In an instant, the sand and dust surged wildly in mid-air, as if forming a giant vortex.
" Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Dozens of enormous fireballs shot out from the hands of the ninjas of the Ninjutsu unit, streaking across the night sky like meteors as they hurtled toward the Council of Elders ninjas.
Boom boom boom--
The fireball exploded in the crowd, Kakkō shooting into the sky, accompanied by screams of agony.
The Council of Elders ninjas' formation briefly became chaotic, but as elites, they quickly adjusted.
Water Release: Water Curtain Heavenly Flower!
Several ninjas skilled in Water Release simultaneously unleashed their Ninjutsu, creating a massive water curtain that not only blocked the fireball's attack but also extinguished the flames, turning them into a billowing mist.
"Hmph, you've got some skill," Lan muttered to herself.
Then, he flashed forward like a black lightning bolt, his Chakra sword instantly crackling with lightning, emitting a crackling sound.
Bang--
The water curtain was torn open by the powerful force of the Lightning Release.
Taking advantage of the situation, Lan charged into the group of Council of Elders' ninjas, each swing of her sword sending up a spray of blood. The Taijutsu ninjas beside her followed closely behind, charging into the enemy ranks like tigers.
In an instant, the sounds of clashing weapons, shouts of battle, and painful groans mingled together.
"Watch out, they have puppets!" a ninja in disguise shouted.
Several Council of Elders ninjas began to control a large number of puppets to join the battle. Their arms instantly extended, turning into sharp spikes, and stabbed at the cybernetic ninja.
On the other side, fierce fighting was also taking place in the Council of Elders residential area Gaara was in charge of.
Under the moonlight, luxurious residences burned amidst the flames of war, thick smoke billowing up and turning the sky a dark red.
Countless grains of sand quickly gathered around Gaara.
" Sand Waterfall Funeral!"
He moved his hands rapidly, and the surrounding sand surged as if alive, forming a huge sand vortex that swept up the surrounding Council of Elders ninjas and defensive fortifications.
"Ah!!!"
"Ah!!!"
The ninja's screams echoed in the sand vortex, accompanied by the muffled thuds of rocks being crushed.
An Council of Elders Jonin, "Everyone, use your Ninjutsu together to break his sand formation!"
Dozens of ninjas simultaneously Hand Seals.
" Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
" Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The Wind Release and Water Release Ninjutsu worked together in an attempt to break the sand vortex.
Unfortunately, their thinking was somewhat naive.
They were just a group of Jonin and Chunin, yet they dared to challenge Gaara, who had the support of Tailed Beast.
" Sand Binding Coffin!"
A cold glint flashed in Gaara's eyes, and the sand in the sand vortex quickly condensed, tightly binding the ninjas who were trying to break through.
"Ah! Help me!"
The bound ninjas cried out in despair.
Gaara looked at the scene before him and said with unwavering determination, "The era of the Council of Elders is over. Today is your end!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
With several muffled thuds, the ninjas bound by the sand gradually twisted and deformed under immense pressure, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, their eyes filled with fear and resentment.
Ultimately, life was extinguished, and it was completely buried by the sand.
On the main road, Rasa was engaged in a fierce battle with the Council of Elders's main force.
The main road was already a mess, the ground was riddled with holes from Ninjutsu and weapons, and there were traces of explosions everywhere.
Rasa danced with his hands, and the golden sand, under his control, formed a storm that swept towards the enemy.
Not to be outdone, the Council of Elders ' ninja unleashed a powerful Earth Release Ninjutsu, causing a massive mudflow to surge from the ground and collide with the Gold Dust.
In an instant, golden sand and brown soil intertwined in mid-air, forming a chaotic battlefield.
"Don't back down, charge!" Rasa shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield and boosting the morale of his troops.
Under his leadership, the cybernetic ninjas and the rebel army fought bravely forward.
The Council of Elders' ninjas used Ninjutsu and puppets to defend themselves, and the two sides exchanged blows, neither giving an inch.
On the battlefield, blood splattered continuously, staining the ground red. Wounded ninjas groaned in pain, while the roar of battle never ceased.
The civil war in Sunagakure has entered a fierce stage amidst intense fighting from all sides.
Arashi, Gaara, Rasa led their respective teams in a fierce battle against the Council of Elders ' Council.
The night sky was illuminated by the Kakkō as if it were daytime. Shouts of battle, explosions, and painful groans mingled together, telling the story of the fierce and brutal nature of the fight.
Southern mining area.
Hoshino had arrived, but instead of landing, he hovered in the air using his six pairs of mechanical bone wings, coldly surveying the scene below.
A large, one-eyed, crimson snake with reverse scales emerged from the ground.
Garaga dwells deep within the lair of the most ferocious serpents in Ryūchi Cave. Its undulating form resembles a moving mountain, and its crimson scales, like burning flames, exude a chilling aura.
That single eye, with its vertical pupil, revealed endless ferocity and cruelty.
Above Garaga's head lay a twisted, inhuman creature.
The creature's flesh and prosthetics were intertwined and haphazardly pieced together, resembling a terrifying doll forcibly assembled.
Black tentacles writhed and twisted on its surface, like living creatures.
The most bizarre thing is that this monster has an extra face on its face, which is Hino's face.
At this moment, Hino's face was contorted, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and he occasionally let out painful groans, as if he were trapped in this body and suffering endless torment.
"Is this the Council of Elders' trump card? It's a bit abstract!"
A red light flashed in Hoshino's mechanical eyes as he quickly scanned the terrifying group below from all angles.
Analysis revealed that the violent Chakra emanating from Garaga was intertwined with the chaotic energy on the monster, like a symbiotic relationship, which gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.
At this moment, Garaga below seemed to sense a threat from above.
It slowly raised its enormous head, its single eye fixed on Hoshino, and opened its blood-red maw, large enough to swallow several people, letting out a deafening roar.
roar--
The roar was like rolling thunder, not only making the surrounding air buzz, but also causing the ground to tremble violently, cracks to appear in nearby buildings, and rubble to fall down.
Affected by this, the monster perched on its head began to wildly thrash its black tentacles, which stretched out towards Hoshino like countless venomous snakes.
Hoshino snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
With a flap of his mechanical bone wings, a powerful airflow spread outwards from him, forming a fierce whirlwind that swept the sand and gravel from the ground into the air, like a small sandstorm.
At the same time, the Kikaichū inside the body surged out like a black tide, pouncing on the combined entity below like hungry wolves.
