Looking at the corpse of the Sunagakure Genin, Shin'un took a deep breath, ignoring his injured left leg, and raised the long sword he had picked up, forming Hand Seals with his left hand.
"Sizzle!"
A flash of lightning, and a dim current instantly filled the entire longsword.
Looking at the long sword crackling with electricity in his hand, Shin'un nodded in satisfaction.
This massive battle could continue until nightfall, Shin'un will remain in a state of combat readiness until a complete victory is achieved.
Lightning Release consumes too much Chakra, Shin'un doesn't plan to use the Chakra stored in his [ Qi Sea ] here, so he can only try to conserve Chakra.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Shin'un will continue to fight using this longsword enhanced with Lightning Release, occasionally employing Lightning Release in conjunction with combat when the opportunity arises.
Not daring to rest, Shin'un looked around, his mind highly focused, and everything around him moved very slowly.
Spotting an area with a large number of Sunagakure, Shin'un disregarded his injured left leg and fought his way through.
Ah~
"Well!"
"Um!"
"..."
Like a wolf entering a sheepfold, with each step Shin'un took forward, the cries of Sand Ninja echoed out, and every Sand Ninja he encountered died at his hands.
Some of the more astute Sand Ninja, seeing Shin'un covered in the blood of the Sand Ninja and resembling a god of death, even began to retreat to safer areas.
"Phew~"
Half an hour later, Shin'un Shin'un had fought his way from the center of the battlefield to the southern end, and dozens more Sand Ninja had perished at his hands.
Although Shin'un no longer uses his signature Lightning Release, he is still a force to be reckoned with even when he only uses his Shin'un to kill enemies.
With his extreme reaction ability granted by [ Extreme Reaction ], Shin'un, like those Uchiha clan members with Sharingan, gained a huge advantage in close combat.
They can always anticipate the enemy's attack trajectory, launch attacks and make decisions ahead of time, easily discern the enemy's attack intentions, and launch counterattacks or defenses with the most precise and effective measures.
Moreover, the longsword in his hand was amplified by Shin'un's Lightning Release technique, making it extremely sharp and accompanied by the effects of high temperature and electric paralysis.
Any Sand Ninja who dares to parry carelessly will be paralyzed by the electric current attached to the longsword in the next moment. The next moment after that, the high temperature generated by the electric current on the longsword will melt the object being parried and directly cut into the body of the parrying Sand Ninja.
Five hours later, the sun began to set, and no more light pierced through the thick clouds of the Land of Rain, making the surroundings even darker.
Beneath the clouds, after six or seven hours of fierce fighting, the battlefield gradually calmed down. In order to conserve their dwindling Chakra, the Konoha and Sand Ninja ninjas tacitly chose to engage in the simplest form of combat: melee weapons.
For a moment, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence, with only the clanging of metal echoing throughout. Even the shouts and roars from just hours before had vanished.
The ninjas' voices were already hoarse, and they no longer had the strength to shout.
Only the occasional dying cries of ninjas echoed across the battlefield, providing a brief respite from the silence.
finally.
Another half hour passed, and the world became completely dark, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
The Sand Ninja commander finally realized that there was no hope of victory in the short term.
Only then did he order a large number of Sand Ninja to retreat, leaving behind a devastated battlefield.
The Konoha Ninja didn't stop them. After six or seven hours of intense fighting, they too had reached their limits and were unable to pursue. Watching the Sand Ninja retreat was the best option at the moment.
Many Konoha Ninja only came to their senses when they saw the Sand Ninja retreat to the edge of their sight and disappear from sight; the battle was over.
Suddenly, there were excited hoarse shouts, sorrowful weeping for fallen comrades, collapsing to the ground staring blankly at the sky, throwing away Kunai, and curling up trembling in fear...
Upon realizing they had survived, the reactions of the Konoha Ninja varied, but generally, most felt a mixture of excitement and sadness.
Excitement at the life they still possessed, and sorrow at the sight of Konoha Ninja lying motionless and speechless on the ground.
Uh~
With a muffled groan, Shin'un relaxed as he watched the Sand Ninja disappear from sight.
Shin'un tossed aside his longsword, which was battered and nearly beyond repair from numerous battles, and sat down on the ground to rest.
After nearly six hours of intense fighting, although the heat from the Senju Secret Medicine relieved his physical fatigue, the prolonged mental strain still left Shin'un feeling extremely exhausted.
He sat down on the ground and rested for a while. As Shin'un felt his energy gradually returning, he stood up and looked around the chaotic battlefield, searching for his two teammates.
After glancing around a few times, Shin'un's gaze sharpened as he spotted a familiar figure lying on the ground in the distance.
" Yūichi?"
" Yūichi!"
With a furrowed brow, Shin'un suppressed his unease and ran to his teammates.
"What?"
"I'm tired, can't I just lie down in the mud for a while?"
Before Shin'un could even reach Yūichi, Yūichi had already heard Shin'un's call and responded.
"I said, how do you still have energy?"
"Look at everyone, they're all sprawled on the ground, how come you're the only one with the energy to wander around?"
Upon hearing Yūichi's reply, Shin'un immediately smiled and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Walking up to Yūichi, Shin'un looked Yūichi and down, and was relieved to see that there were no noteworthy injuries on Yūichi's body.
"What do you mean 'wandering around'? I'm looking for you and Shiina Kō Kyo!"
After helping Yūichi up, Shin'un turned his gaze and searched the surrounding battlefield for Shiina Kō's figure.
Soon, Shin'un spotted Shiina Kō.
She was somewhat better off than Yūichi, who collapsed to the ground. Although she was visibly exhausted and in pain, she still limped and gritted her teeth as she walked towards Shin'un and the other person.
Upon Shin'un's expression hardened. He immediately let go of Yūichi's arm, ignoring Yūichi's complaints behind him, and ran towards Shiina Kō.
What happened to your leg?
Shin'un ran to Shiina Kō's side and, seeing Shiina Kō's bleeding left thigh, immediately asked him what was wrong.
"I was pierced by a Kunai." Shiina Kō forced a smile as he answered Shin'un.
Frowning, Shin'un said, "Let me see."
"This..." Perhaps because the injury was Root his groin, Shiina Kō hesitated for a moment, but quickly answered.
"Okay, okay."
"Rip~"
Shin'un forcefully tore open Shiina Kō's pants over the injured area to check the injury.
Upon seeing this, Shin'un immediately frowned. A deep wound appeared at the Root her fair and flawless thigh. Perhaps to prevent excessive bleeding, the kunai that had pierced her thigh Kunai still stuck in it and had not been removed.
Looking up, Shin'un frowned as he looked at Shiina Kō, whose lips were pale.
You must receive treatment as soon as possible, otherwise your life will be in danger.
"Furthermore, your leg was already severely injured. If it doesn't receive proper treatment, it could affect your future ninja career."
