Chapter 428 Sharpness
Chapter 428 Sharpness
"team leader!"
The five Iwa ninjas around them realized something was wrong and jumped back, quickly forming hand seals.
"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"
The ground began to tremble violently, and countless sharp stone spikes suddenly pierced through the mud.
However, one-hundredth of a second before the ninjutsu was activated, the golden figure disappeared again.
At the same time, the entire sky seemed to darken instantly.
That was a real downpour.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"
"....."
Two thick, dragon-shaped chakra beams roared in from the east and west sides of the village, respectively.
The collision of water and fire created a thick white fog in mid-air, instantly enveloping the center of the village.
Before the Iwa ninja could even recover from the panic of losing sight, a vast array of black shadows fell from above the white mist.
Those were dozens of rapidly spinning shuriken, emitting a piercing buzzing sound in the air due to the infusion of chakra.
"Watch out above!"
The Iwa ninjas tried to find cover, but the houses there were already crumbling from their arson.
A figure stretched out high in the sky above the mist.
Xiao Nan's paper wings suddenly fluttered, and she hovered like an angel of judgment.
She swung her right hand down, and dozens of pieces of paper hardened in mid-air into flying knives as thin as cicada wings, precisely blocking all of the Iwa ninja's escape routes.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Obito appeared at the village entrance.
He took a deep breath, his chest bulging, and the surging flames carved a crimson path through the white mist. The massive fireball cornered the two Iwa ninja, and the scorching heat even instantly evaporated the mud and water on the ground.
"Damn it! Don't look down on people!"
A surviving Iwa ninja struggled to his feet amidst the flames, his eyes bloodshot, as he tried to pull out a scroll from behind him to unleash an explosion.
However, a white light appeared.
Swifter than thunder, colder than winter snow.
Kakashi Hatake leaped out of the shadows, his White Fang short sword gleaming with an almost dazzling silver light as it was infused with chakra.
There were no unnecessary movements.
It was just a simple, extremely plain horizontal slash.
The blade sliced through the Iwa ninja's ribs, drawing a trail of blood. Kakashi sheathed his sword the instant he landed, turning his back to the fallen enemy.
The entire sequence of movements was so fluid it was almost unbelievable, like a killing dance that had been rehearsed countless times.
"Lin! Medical support!"
While maintaining the suppression of the Fire Release technique, Obito shouted commands.
At that moment, Nohara Rin displayed unprecedented decisiveness.
Carrying a medical kit, she slid through the mud and rushed directly to the injured Kumogakure genin.
Green chakra bloomed in her palm, quickly enveloping the victim's severed arm.
"Don't move. I'm a medical ninja from Konoha. You're safe now."
Lin's voice was firm and calm, which stunned the almost desperate Yunyin boy, who stared blankly at the girl who was only a few years older than him.
At the other end of the village.
"..."
Nagato stood on the high place, extending her hand expressionlessly.
The earth dragon bullets unleashed by the two Iwa ninjas who attempted to retaliate were completely shattered just before they hit him, and the casters themselves were directly imprisoned by the sealing power.
Yahiko followed closely behind.
He clasped his hands together, his whole body enveloped in a thick layer of water vapor.
"Water Release: Chaotic Waves!"
Huge waves washed over the battlefield, extinguishing the remaining sparks and forcibly bringing the Iwa ninjas, who were trying to escape underground, back to the surface.
three minutes.
From the moment Minato launched his first surprise attack until the last Iwa ninja was sent flying by Nagato.
The battle lasted only three minutes.
They couldn't even muster a decent joint counterattack against Konoha's new generation of peacekeeping forces.
This is Konoha under Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule.
Inside Orochimaru's laboratory, these young people's ninja tools were optimized and adjusted.
In the tactical simulation room of the Second Hokage Tobirama, they went through thousands of combat exercises against various terrains.
Under Sakumo Hatake's command, they learned how to precisely sever the enemy's lifeline like a scalpel.
Minato reappeared in the center of the battlefield, his toes touching Oishi's chest. The Iwagakure Jonin was coughing violently, his broken ribs piercing his lungs.
"You...you all..."
Oishi spoke haltingly, blood seeping from between his teeth, "Konoha...when...did they arrive...?"
This kind of suppressive force.
This is a perfect, seamless collaboration between different families and schools of thought.
What they saw was a highly efficient war machine that had begun to modernize.
Minato didn't answer. He cleanly and decisively delivered the final blow, severing the last vestige of life from the large stone.
Minato never wastes any extra mercy on this kind of guy.
He turned his head and looked at his disciples who were walking out of the ruins.
Obito stood beside a corpse, panting heavily.
His hand holding the sword was still trembling slightly, not from fear, but from the physiological reaction of a surge of adrenaline.
"Obito, stop spacing out."
Kakashi walked up to him, and although his tone remained aloof, he casually patted Obito on the shoulder.
In the continuous drizzle on the border of the Land of Lightning.
For the first time in this cruel world, this group of young people etched their generation's golden mark.
Minato twirled the kunai between his fingers and precisely inserted it back into his ninja tool pouch. He looked towards Konoha, as if across mountains thousands of miles away, he could see the Third Hokage sitting in his office, calculating everything.
"Is this your goal, Hokage-sama?"
Minato whispered to himself.
Then, he looked up, his golden hair flying in the rain.
