A few seconds later, the scattered Lightning Release Chakra around them gradually disappeared.
The dust and smoke generated by the battle between the two sides could not compare to the torrential rain overhead. As the shockwave dissipated, the massive dust cloud was quickly broken up by countless raindrops falling from the sky, and the scene within gradually became visible.
On the battlefield at this moment, numerous Konoha Ninja stood or crouched, their gazes all focused on the massive cloud of smoke in the center of the field ahead, waiting silently.
The twenty-odd Sunagakure Sand Ninja stood on the other side, looking flustered and anxiously guarding against the hundreds of Konoha Ninja had appeared nearby at some unknown time.
However, although these twenty-odd Sunagakure were all on edge, sweating profusely as they looked at the hundreds of Konoha Ninja opposite them, the only Sunagakure Jonin gritted his teeth and stared at the few Konoha who could be easily observed in the Konoha team Jonin, his face grim.
However, in reality, these hundreds of Konoha Ninja were not in the mood to pay attention to the twenty-odd Sunagakure opposite them.
They were more concerned about the safety of their own commander, who was still engulfed in the smoke and dust.
As for the twenty-odd Sunagakure on the other side?
Of these few Sand Ninja, only one is Jonin- level ninja; the rest are all children with immature faces.
For such a team, they only need to maintain basic vigilance to prevent them from escaping or recklessly launching a sneak attack on the Konoha team.
" Lord Hirakawa, please don't let anything happen to you..."
Hyuga Daisuke stood at the front of the Konoha team, diverting some of his attention to be wary of the Sand Ninja opposite him while narrowing his eyes and focusing intently on what lay ahead.
Through the wondrous vision granted by his Byakugan, Hyuga Daisuke, a step ahead of hundreds of Konoha Ninja, saw through the remaining smoke and dust, and clearly discerned the details of the battle between Hirakawa Shin'un and the giant tiger puppet.
"This is?"
After seeing the smoke and dust clearly, the scene that came into view made Hyuga Daisuke's originally tense brows unconsciously lift, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"What happened! Has something happened to Lord Hirakawa?"
A ninja beside Hyuga Daisuke keenly noticed the fleeting surprise on his face and immediately assumed that something had happened to Hirakawa Shin'un, who was fighting the giant tiger puppet in the still-lingering dust ahead. He anxiously asked Hyuga Daisuke about it.
The questioning was quite loud, and several ninjas around them also heard the conversation between the two. They immediately Hyuga Daisuke, a member of the Hyuga Clan who possessed the Byakugan and could see through all obstacles and observe the specific situation.
"Ah?"
Hyuga Daisuke's eye sockets bulged, his Byakugan remaining open, and he spoke to the Konoha Ninja around him who were looking at him:
"Don't worry, Lord Hirakawa is alright."
After he said that, the heavy expressions on the faces of the Konoha Ninja around Hyuga Daisuke eased slightly.
It wasn't that they didn't trust their commander, who had already been given the title of " Lightning Kid " by the enemy; it was simply that the giant Sand Ninja puppet looked incredibly imposing.
After all, one side was a giant puppet six or seven stories high, shaped like a fierce tiger, while the other side was a young ninja who was only fourteen years old and had a youthful but cold face.
In this kind of confrontation, it seems that the team leader should be at a disadvantage.
The fact that the team leader had to confront the imposing giant tiger puppet head-on because of several Konoha Ninja behind him who hadn't had time to dodge made people even more worried.
Shaking his head left and right, Hyuga Daisuke Konoha Ninja and then said, "Moreover, Lord Hirakawa not only didn't suffer a loss, but should have actually gained a slight advantage in the fight."
The Konoha Ninja nearby exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Hyuga Daisuke's words.
"Ah!"
"What?"
"Is Lord Hirakawa that strong?"
"..."
"Yes!" Hyuga Daisuke nodded, looking ahead at Hirakawa Shin'un and the giant tiger puppet, whose figures had been revealed as the smoke and dust dissipated.
He pointed to Hirakawa Shin'un and said with a hint of amazement:
"See for yourselves."
Not only around Hyuga Daisuke, but all the ninjas in this area noticed that the smoke and dust ahead had been completely wiped out by the raindrops falling from the sky. Their eagerness to know the outcome of the battle made them all impatiently turn their attention to it.
However, the scene of the battle that came into view elicited different reactions from all the ninjas.
All the Konoha Ninja breathed a sigh of relief, their morale soaring rapidly. Meanwhile, the Sunagakure ninja were stunned for a moment, their faces turning completely grim.
Ahead, starting from the center of the battle between Hirakawa Shin'un and the giant tiger puppet, a large crater, as deep as a person, suddenly appeared on the originally flat ground, surrounded by traces that looked like they had been ravaged by electricity.
Without a doubt, this is the masterpiece of Hirakawa Shin'un, whom the Sand Ninja called " Lightning Kid ".
At this moment, the huge crater created by the aftermath of the battle between the two sides has become a small reservoir, and the water on the surrounding ground is constantly flowing into it.
However, this huge crater was not the main focus of everyone's attention.
The condition of both sides in the match is what everyone is focusing on.
The giant tiger puppet, which had been attacking fiercely, seemed to be sluggish and standing still for some reason.
Below the giant tiger's massive head, Hirakawa Shin'un, who appeared even more slender in comparison, also stood in place, his right arm, which had just collided with the giant tiger puppet using Lightning Release: Great Lightning Spear, was visibly trembling.
His arms even showed signs of electrical burns he had never seen before; the sleeve below his elbow was missing, and the remaining sleeve on his right arm was charred black.
Both sides seemed to be briefly stunned by the exchange of blows, allowing the other ninjas outside the arena to more clearly see the changes in their performance before and after the fight.
Among them, Hirakawa Shin'un showed a disheveled appearance that most Konoha Ninja had never seen before, and his trembling right arm was not sure if it could recover in a short time, but he did not appear to be injured at all.
The giant tiger puppet opposite Hirakawa Shin'un was different; it was clear that the right forepaw that the tiger-shaped puppet had used to attack earlier was damaged.
The outcome was quite clear. The Giant Tiger Puppet's trump card against ordinary ninjas, its slapping attack relying on its massive size and weight to inflict damage, was defeated by Hirakawa Shin'un's hastily executed Lightning Release: Great Lightning Spear.
The entire right forefoot was melted in half by the extreme high-temperature current of the Lightning Release: Great Lightning Spear, even exposing the crisscrossing lines resembling circuits beneath the steel shell, as well as the wooden skeleton within which the purpose was unknown.
Meanwhile, the fine electric current left over from the Lightning Release: Great Lightning Spear attack on the giant tiger puppet's entire right forearm lingered for a long time, like a bone-deep infection, invading the unknown circuits and skeleton inside the giant tiger puppet through the opening on its right forearm, causing damage.
