"Barrier - Crimson Sun Array!"
As dozens of Konoha Anbu around them simultaneously channeled their Chakra, a crimson, semi-transparent barrier suddenly rose up.
At the same time, they surrounded the falling Third Kazekage, Orochimaru, and Hatake Sakumo.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of all the ninjas on the battlefield, as the crimson barrier closed, the three Kage Level powerhouses were instantly sealed inside the crimson barrier.
At the same time, as the crimson barrier took effect, the interior of the barrier was instantly and completely isolated from the outside world.
The several enormous cubes, composed of a large amount of Iron Sand, that were floating above the battlefield immediately disintegrated.
A large amount of Iron Sand rained down from the sky, hitting many ninjas on the battlefield below and causing them painful scalps.
"What's going on?!"
It was the same Sunagakure who was the first to see the Third Kazekage, but the expression on his face had changed from excitement to bewilderment.
In the short span of time just now, he witnessed Orochimaru and Konoha White Fang, two renowned Konoha shinobi, ganging up on his own Kazekage.
Meanwhile, their own Kazekage seemed to be at a disadvantage against the attacks of two powerful Konoha members.
Ultimately, the Third Kazekage of his clan was shot down from the sky by the enemy. Not only was he trapped in the barrier and faced the predicament of fighting two opponents, but he also lost a large amount of Iron Sand due to the barrier's isolation.
It's important to know that the Third Kazekage's fighting style involved using his Magnet Release to manipulate Iron Sand to attack enemies.
This means that, to some extent, the amount of Iron Sand represents the power of Magnet Release.
" Lord Kazekage is... trapped!"
"It's all over, I'm doomed."
"If I die here, what will happen to my still-attractive wife and the beautiful young women in my village!"
"..."
The scene of the Third Kazekage being knocked down from the sky was witnessed by the Sand Ninja throughout the battlefield, but because the Third Kazekage was on the other side of the battlefield, they did not even know the current situation of the Third Kazekage inside the barrier.
Immediately, many Sand Ninja on the battlefield were somewhat panicked.
Seeing this, Chiyo, who was controlling the Chikamatsu Ten Puppets to fight their way through the enemy, shouted:
"What's the panic!"
"I'm still here!"
"Stay close to me, keep your hands busy, let's get to the other side of the battlefield as quickly as possible!"
After saying that, Chiyo suddenly mobilized her Chakra, and with the Chakra Threads in her hands, the ten puppets in front of her immediately began to perform all sorts of inhuman actions, quickly annihilating the Konoha Ninja.
Seeing this, the other Sunagakure snapped out of their daze, suppressed their emotions, focused their attention on the present, and continued their journey towards the Land of Wind.
Chiyo seized the opportunity to glance back, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that all the Sand Ninja behind her had returned to normal.
Looking ahead, Chiyo gazed at the translucent crimson barrier on the other side of the battlefield and sighed inwardly.
Just now, Orochimaru and Konoha White Fang worked together seamlessly and methodically, along with dozens of Konoha Anbu who rushed out from various corners of the battlefield to cast Barrier Ninjutsu.
This was clearly a premeditated attack targeting the Third Kazekage.
It's highly likely that Nara Shikahito guessed that she and the Third Kazekage would attack the Konoha team simultaneously, and thus made arrangements in advance.
"Sigh~"
"I summoned him to help me break through Konoha's obstacles and allow us to successfully advance to the Land of Wind..."
But... now I also have to worry about his safety...
Thinking this, Chiyo turned around to face behind her, and with a slight movement of her fingers, summoned three Chikamatsu Ten Puppets to her side.
Chiyo frowned deeply as she watched the dazzling flash of lightning rapidly sweep through the crowd on the battlefield and head straight for her.
"Although I hate to admit it, the chances of leading the team to successfully break through are already very slim."
"Fortunately, the two thousand Sand Ninja from the Land of Rain were able to retreat to their village, which is enough..."
Thinking of this, Chiyo narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the white-haired figure under the dazzling lightning, her eyes revealing a murderous intent.
"In that case, let's have a proper fight this time!"
Chiyo and shouted to the surrounding Sand Ninja:
"Scatter, everyone!"
At the same time, with a flick of her wrist, Chiyo moved the dog-headed and bull-headed puppets in front of her, preparing to meet the attack.
The next moment, a dazzling bolt of lightning struck.
" Double Machine Light Shield Seal!"
Lightning Release: Great Lightning Spear!
The sharp spear clashed head-on with the sturdy shield, producing a dazzling flash.
The shattering sound emanating from the center of the flash, along with the countless raging electric currents, caused all the Sand Ninja in the vicinity to hasten their departure.
Then, as the flash faded, the results of the attack were revealed.
The giant Lightning Spear pierced through the transparent Chakra shield, severing one of the dog-headed puppet's arms before gradually dissipating.
Seeing this, Chiyo and Shin'un remained expressionless and began preparing for their next attack without hesitation.
Chiyo quickly waved her hands, drawing the remaining seven Chikamatsu Ten Puppets behind her to her front.
Apart from the minotaur and the dog-headed puppet that had lost an arm, the remaining puppets rushed forward with phantom-like speed.
Meanwhile, Shin'un, seeing eight puppets rushing towards him from all directions at a speed no less than his own, immediately had his pupils shrink.
At that moment, Shin'un's mind raced, and the electric current surrounding his body intensified, making him even faster.
With his right hand, he hooked a Kunai from the ninja tool pouch on his right thigh, and with his lightning-fast speed and superhuman vision, he quickly parried the attacks launched at him simultaneously by the eight puppets around him.
With his left hand Hand Seals, his Chakra circulated rapidly within his body, and he unleashed Lightning Release Ninjutsu in a race against time.
Lightning Release: Lightning Ring!
As Shin'un used his Ninjutsu, the electric current flowing around him quickly condensed into a ring of lightning that spread out in all directions, simultaneously pushing away the eight puppets around him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shin'un used his Lightning Body Flicker to quickly escape from the encirclement of the eight puppets and rushed straight towards Chiyo, who was not far away.
Seeing this, Chiyo remained calm and expressionless, her hands moving in the air, creating afterimages.
While manipulating the bull-headed puppet among the two puppets in front of him to block Shin'un, he also controlled the bald puppet among the eight puppets pushed away by the lightning ring to make a move.
"Pfft~"
With a loud bang, several iron chains with sharp spikes shot out from the top of the bald puppet's head and stabbed towards Shin'un's back at extremely fast speed.
"Tch~"
With a quick glance, Shin'un saw several iron chains rushing towards him from behind, their metal spikes gleaming coldly at the top, clearly capable of easily piercing his flesh.
In front of him was a bull-headed puppet charging forward, wielding iron fists, while behind him, several incredibly sharp iron chains attacked rapidly.
Having just escaped the siege of eight puppets, Shin'un found himself caught in a pincer attack.
Lightning Release: Miniature Lightning Spear!
In his haste, Shin'un didn't have time to Hand Seals and had to use the simpler Miniature Lightning Spear.
Faced with the bull-headed puppet's iron fist aimed at his chest, Shin'un dared not test its power.
With his superhuman speed, Shin'un forcefully bent his waist, causing the bull-headed puppet's iron fist to smash down in front of him, while his right hand, attached to Miniature Lightning Spear, suddenly extended.
"Boom~"
"Sizzle!"
The bull-headed golem slammed its iron fist, imbued with immense force, into the ground, sending debris flying and creating a deep crater in the rocky surface.
Shin'un's right hand, imbued with Miniature Lightning Spear, pierced directly through the bull-headed puppet's chest.
Maintaining the Miniature Lightning Spear, Shin'un swung his arm horizontally, instantly splitting the bull-headed puppet in two from its chest.
"Whoosh!"
Before Shin'un could even stand up straight, several iron chains with sharp, cold glints at their tips attacked from behind with a whooshing sound.
