Faced with attacks from all directions, Jörmungandr simply smiled and made no move, standing there blankly as the attacks from Iwagakure covered him.
Soon, the Earth Release Technique of the Iwagakure struck Jörmungandr, burying it under the rocks.
"Is it resolved?"
"I don't know, but even if we didn't finish off this enemy, he should be seriously injured. Don't forget, our attacks aren't so easy to withstand."
"I don't think so. Who would watch an attack come right in front of them and not take any countermeasures? I think the enemy must have some unknown methods."
"That's right, I don't think the enemy would be that stupid either."
After seeing that all of their attacks had hit their targets, the Iwagakure on the battlefield began to discuss among themselves.
Some of them believed that Jörmungandr had been defeated, while others believed that he had not. They each held their own opinions and expressed their views.
However, the captain of Iwagakure immediately spoke up to stop his teammates' argument, "Don't underestimate the enemy. Don't forget that Iwahato died at their hands. You all know Iwahato's strength. Someone who can easily take down Iwahato and emerge unscathed is no ordinary person."
The mere mention of Iwahato's name silenced the murmuring Iwagakure troops. They were all elites of the village, naturally familiar with Iwahato's Iwahato and strength. After all, Iwahato had once served as the captain of a hundred-man battalion.
Only Captain Ōkura Suke among them possesses strength comparable to Iwahato; the rest are inferior to Iwahato.
It can be said that Iwahato was already a mid-level figure in the first tier below the Tsuchikage in Iwagakure. This shows that Iwahato's strength was extraordinary, but the fact that he was easily killed by the enemy, despite his great strength, further illustrates how troublesome the enemy was.
Thinking of this, the Iwagakure present fell silent, gripping their weapons tightly, their eyes warily fixed on Jörmungandr, who was buried under the rubble.
Under the watchful eyes of the Iwagakure, the pile of rubble burying Jörmungandr underwent a change. First, rubble rolled off the top of the pile, then the pile began to shake, and gradually the shaking became more violent.
Finally, they heard a loud explosion. The once high pile of stones disappeared, replaced by a thick cloud of dust.
They immediately realized that the enemy had changed. Ignoring the sandstorm, they strained their eyes and carefully searched for Jörmungandr's whereabouts.
Finally, beneath the thick sandstorm, they could vaguely make out Jörmungandr's massive figure.
Upon spotting the enemy's blurry figures, the Iwagakure captain immediately used Wind Release to disperse the sand and dust that had enveloped them.
He worried that Jörmungandr would take this opportunity to attack them. Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary; the enemy in the sandstorm remained unchanged and motionless.
Once the surrounding dust was dispersed by the Wind Release, Jörmungandr's figure finally appeared clearly in front of the Iwagakure troops.
They stared intently at Jörmungandr and discovered that the enemy was not the bloody mess they had imagined. Instead, he only had a few scratches, which quickly disappeared, leaving only the traces of his tattered clothes.
This scene shocked everyone in the Iwagakure unit. They had expected the enemy to be difficult to deal with, but they never imagined the enemy would be this difficult.
Despite enduring their fierce attack, he was completely unscathed, as if their attacks were merely tickling the enemy.
Seeing Jörmungandr unharmed, a strong sense of unease flashed through their hearts. Just as they were pondering a strategy to deal with the enemy, they heard Jörmungandr's voice.
"Is this all the strength you have? To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed with the ninjas of Iwagakure. In my opinion, Iwagakure, one of the Five Great Nations, shouldn't be this weak."
Jörmungandr's tone was full of sarcasm, which infuriated the people of Iwagakure.
Despite their anger, they remained calm and looked at their captain, Ōkura Suke, awaiting his decision.
Facing Jörmungandr's taunts and the trust of his teammates, Ōkura Suke shouted, "Don't underestimate the strength and will of the Iwagakure Ninja!"
"Let me show you the resolve of Iwagakure." After saying that, he immediately made a coded gesture with his right hand, then channeled his Chakra and used Release Technique.
The Iwagakure behind him also received Ōkura Suke's signal. They quickly ran and formed a special formation, then began to form hand Hand Seals, preparing to release Ninjutsu.
After completing Earth Release: Moving Earth Core hand seals, Captain Iwagakure Ōkura Suke slammed his right hand into the ground, and a crimson rock pillar suddenly appeared beneath Jörmungandr's feet, lifting him high into the sky.
Seeing their captain achieve a decisive victory, the members of the Iwagakure unit immediately unleashed their power, rapidly Hand Seals in front of their chests.
" Earth Release: Super Earth and Stone Dragon "
A colossal dragon made of rock emerged from the earth, its towering height of over ten meters inspiring awe. After letting out a deafening roar, it Jörmungandr, who was unable to gain any foothold in the air, with its gaping maw wide open and an unstoppable momentum.
"Not bad, everyone from Iwagakure. I didn't expect you to have such techniques. At this moment, I acknowledge your strength." Even though he couldn't gain any leverage in the air, Jörmungandr still spoke arrogantly.
The excited expression on his face showed his appreciation for the combined techniques of the Iwagakure members.
Looking at the rock dragon that was so close and about to swallow him whole, he showed no panic, but instead smiled.
Just as he was about to be bitten by the gaping maw of the rock dragon, he spread his limbs, forming a sky-supporting shape, and used them to hold up the dragon's closed mouth. He used the strength of his arms to hold the dragon's mouth open.
Just as he thought that was all the tricks the Iwagakure had up its sleeve and was about to taunt it, he saw a bright white light flash from the rock dragon's mouth.
" Earth Release: Rock Dragon Breath "
This was truly beyond Jörmungandr's expectations; he could only watch helplessly as the dragon spat out a powerful beam of rock that hurtled towards him.
With no way to avoid it, he took all the attacks.
After seeing that the giant dragon had worked, the Iwagakure on the ground immediately controlled the giant rock dragon in the sky and rammed it into the hard rock ground.
The earth shook violently as the dragon collided with the ground, generating a powerful shockwave. This shockwave carried countless grains of sand and gravel towards the surrounding Iwagakure members, forcing them to raise their hands to shield themselves.
After the shockwave subsided, the Iwagakure lowered their hands, which had been shielding them from the sand and gravel, and looked in the direction where Jörmungandr crashed.
"This guy should be dead now," a member of the Iwagakure said hesitantly, swallowing hard as he looked at the deep crater created by the dragon's impact with the ground.
It's not that he lacked confidence; it's just that the image of Jörmungandr their combined Earth Release Technique had terrified him.
Although their combined Release Technique was more powerful, he dared not confidently claim that they had already defeated Jörmungandr.
"I don't know, maybe," his teammate next to him said, also somewhat doubtful and unsure of his words.
