The wind blades whistled as they cut through the snake's scales, leaving streaks of white.
The earthen wall rose with a rumble, attempting to stop the snake's body from crushing it.
The leaping lightning crackled and popped on the snake's body.
However, the power and defense of the psychic serpents were too terrifying, and the hastily erected earthen wall shattered like paper under their brute force.
Attack ninjutsu often only leaves minor, insignificant wounds.
A young guard ninja, his face still bearing the traces of childhood innocence.
Taking advantage of his companions drawing attention, he roared and leaped from the side, stabbing the poisoned kunai fiercely into the giant snake's relatively soft belly.
It was difficult to penetrate even an inch.
But the next moment, the giant snake simply twisted its body casually, and its swung tail swept across like a battering ram!
"Be careful--!"
The squad leader's bloodshot screams were drowned out.
A dull thud rang out, and the young ninja's body deformed in mid-air like a tattered sack.
Blood and shattered entrails splattered in the air, leaving a blinding red trail, before crashing heavily into a pile of rubble and falling silent.
Warm drops of blood splattered onto the squad leader's cold mask, bringing a chilling despair.
Outside the village, Konoha's defenses were being ravaged by the giant snake and bombarded by the continuous influx of elite Sunagakure and Sound Ninja troops pouring in through the breach.
Like a dam teetering on the brink of collapse in a storm, every second lives are lost and every inch of land is stained with blood.
Screams, explosions, the clash of ninjutsu, and the collapse of buildings intertwined to form a symphony of destruction that echoed over Konoha.
Inside the martial arts altar, Gaara, in his half-tailed beast form, hovered in mid-air, the wound on his left shoulder appearing grotesque and terrifying amidst the surging dark red chakra.
The sand was frantically writhing in an attempt to repair itself, but it seemed unable to keep up with the erosive speed of the violent energy.
Half of its body was covered in thick sand armor with eerie violet patterns, while its right arm had been completely transformed into a terrifying beast arm covered in rough sandy skin and sharp claws.
The enormous, bloodshot beastly eye was fixed on Sasuke below, who had just broken free from the sand whip's restraints, his right arm bleeding profusely, and who was panting heavily.
"Roar--!!!"
Another inhuman roar, filled with endless pain and destructive desire, exploded out!
The sound waves were like a real shockwave, making the entire arena buzz.
Spectators near the sidelines even experienced ear pain and dizziness.
Gaara's massive, sand-transformed right arm swung wildly!
boom! boom! boom!
Several cannonballs made of highly compressed sand, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound, crashed down on Sasuke like meteorites!
The area was so large that it covered all his possible evasive routes.
Each sand bomb that landed triggered a violent explosion, blasting deep craters into the hard rocky ground, and sending shards of rock flying like bullets!
Sasuke's pupils suddenly contracted!
Chapter 112 Melee in the Rest Area
As Sasuke was about to move in the face of the attack, a mournful cry from his body froze him in his tracks.
I just used Lightning Release to accelerate, Fire Release to launch a powerful attack, and finally Chidori to pierce through absolute defense.
Not only was his chakra greatly depleted, but his body also suffered the double damage from the backlash of Lightning Release and the impact of the explosion.
His left arm, in particular, was in excruciating pain from the backlash of the sand whip's strangulation and the Thousand Birds' self-destruction, and he could barely lift it.
Faced with this overwhelming and ferocious attack, he gritted his teeth and tried to mobilize his remaining chakra and stamina to dodge.
But he was clearly a beat too slow, stumbled, and was about to be swallowed up by a whistling sand bomb!
At the critical moment!
A green figure, like a gust of wind tearing through dark clouds, cut in from the side at a speed beyond the limits of vision!
"Through Escape·Hazy Moon Flash!"
His pale face showed no hesitation, only a resolute determination to gamble everything.
The ninja sword in his hand transformed into a chilling streak of light as he moved at high speed.
Instead of slashing at the sand bullet, he precisely grabbed Sasuke's waist at the last moment before the arrow could be released.
I used all my strength to pull him out of that devastating shadow!
Boom——! ! !
The sand bombs exploded less than a meter behind them!
The violent shockwave sent the two flying.
Hayate shielded Sasuke with his body, his back slamming heavily against the stone wall of the arena, letting out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Sasuke also fell to the ground and coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"Sasuke! Hang in there!"
Hayate quickly stood up, blocking Sasuke's path, and warily pointed his sword at the monster in the air.
However, Gaara, who was half-tailed beast transformed, or rather, Shukaku's will, was now completely drawn to Sasuke's "damage" and the smell of blood.
They ignored the moonlight and gale that blocked their way.
In his enormous beastly eye, there was only Sasuke!
"Die... Uchiha... Die!"
With a hoarse, distorted roar, Gaara's beast-like right claw suddenly opened.
A highly compressed, dark red chakra ball, radiating an aura of destruction, condensed in his palm!
Although its scale was far smaller than that of the Tailed Beast Ball, the terrifying energy it contained was enough to completely obliterate the location where Hayate and Sasuke were!
Moonlight Gale's eyes sharpened; he knew that ordinary attacks were ineffective and he had to interrupt his opponent!
His figure transformed into a gust of wind once more, instantly appearing beside Gaara.
"Konoha Style: Dance of the Crescent Moon!"
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Three sharp, piercing flashes of light appeared almost simultaneously.
Like a crescent moon in the night sky, it carries wind-style chakra that cuts at high speed.
With unparalleled precision, it slashed towards Gaara's neck, ribs, and the joint connecting his beast arm, all covered in sand armor!
This is an extremely exquisite series of slashes in the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship, pursuing ultimate speed and vital strikes!
clang!clang!clang!
Three ear-piercing, teeth-grinding clangs of metal clashing rang out! Sparks flew everywhere!
However, what happened next made Gale's eyes widen in surprise.
His three sword strikes, powerful enough to cut through steel, only left three shallow white marks on the sand armor!
The sand armor covered with strange patterns was far harder than anyone could imagine!
The attached wind-style chakra was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, failing to even create a ripple!
The immense recoil caused Jifeng's hand to split open, and blood instantly stained the hilt of the knife, leaving his entire arm feeling numb and tingly.
Gaara didn't even turn his head, as if he had only been bothered by a few flies.
The dark red chakra ball in his palm had already taken shape, carrying a destructive pressure, and slammed down towards Sasuke's position below without hesitation!
"Damn it!" Gale's eyes widened in horror, but it was too late to rush back to help!
Meanwhile, the genin rest area also turned into another brutal miniature battlefield.
Smoke filled the air, and the pungent smell of blood mingled with the gunpowder smoke drifting in from outside and the acrid smell of burning buildings, making one want to vomit.
The shockwave from the explosion caused cracks in the roof of the rest area, and dust fell in droves.
Several elite enemies wearing Sand Village headbands and Sound Village headbands.
Like a hyena that has caught the scent of blood, it grinned as it broke through the chaos in the stands.
Their goal was clear—
These are the future hopes of Konoha, seedlings that have not yet fully grown!
Tian Tian exclaimed in surprise, the scroll in his hand was only half unrolled.
A poisoned kunai, accompanied by a deathly shriek, shot toward her throat with a cunning and ruthless angle.
"Shadow Mimicry!"
Shikamaru reacted extremely quickly, forming hand seals and instantly extending the shadow beneath his feet.
It precisely wrapped its arms around the ankle of the Sand Village ninja who was throwing kunai, causing him to freeze in mid-air!
But another Sound Ninja seized the opportunity, and several shuriken tips shot towards Shikamaru and Tenten with a whooshing sound!
"Baguazhang·Huitian!"
Neji quickly appeared in front of the two, his body spinning rapidly, and the absolute defensive sphere formed by Gentle Fist chakra instantly deflected the shuriken.
However, Neji's breathing became somewhat disordered immediately after he finished using the Resurrection skill.
After all, he had just finished fighting Naruto and his chakra hadn't recovered yet when he was attacked by the enemy.
On the other side, Sakura clenched her fist and punched a Sound Ninja hard, slamming him into the wall.
Although the opponent crossed his arms to defend in time, his hands were shattered by Sakura's fists, and his chest caved in as well.
However, one man can't fight four men, and Sakura was forced back by the nearby enemies.
"Tooth tooth!"
At that moment, the door to the rest area was blasted open by Kiba and Akamaru, who transformed into two intertwined whirlwinds.
