A Great Victory and Undercurrents

Chapter 91 A Great Victory and Undercurrents

"So much blood food, all of this is edible, right, Orochimaru?"

The ten thousand snakes flicked their tongues, their eyes revealing a greedy look.

"Of course, it would be best if you could finish it."

Orochimaru jumped onto Manda's head and smiled at Rasa.

"Orochimaru, so many ninjas are not easy to deal with. I will prioritize my own safety and will not be the main force! If there is any problem, I will immediately cancel the summoning jutsu."

Manda makes no attempt to hide his fear of death.

Anyway, all three holy lands can actively cancel summoning jutsu, and its relationship with Orochimaru isn't that good.

Giving up Orochimaru when faced with danger is not something that is hard to accept.

"It doesn't matter, but the more Sand Ninja you kill, the more blood you'll have to eat."

Orochimaru silently added in his mind:

"Only then will I have enough soul energy to harvest."

"Magnetic Escape·Golden Burial!"

The massive amount of gold dust quickly gathered and rushed towards Orochimaru.

"Looks like this isn't going to be an easy job, Orochimaru!"

The serpent looked at the incoming gold dust, its eyes filled with fear. It lowered its raised head again and twisted its body to quickly dodge.

During its movement, Manda did not forget to devour several Sand Ninja.

Gold dust is much more powerful than sandstorms, but its weight greatly reduces the speed and flexibility of gold dust burial.

It is difficult to inflict effective damage on the agile Mandalas.

"Damn it!"

As Rasa watched Manda writhe freely among the Sand Ninja, each movement taking away countless Sand Ninja lives, his eyes blazed with fury.

"Ninja Art: Flipping Technique!"

A giant snake opened its blood-red maw, attempting to swallow Luo Sha whole.

"Magnetic Release: Golden Sand Waves!"

Luo Sha used a large amount of gold dust to gather in the air and blocked the attacking serpent.

Orochimaru and Rasa fought, but Rasa seemed somewhat powerless against Orochimaru's guerrilla tactics.

Chiyo and Ebizo, seeing that things were not going well, also rushed into the battlefield.

Ebizo was stopped by Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza.

Faced with the well-coordinated Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Ebizo carefully released a large number of puppets.

After all, if he's not careful, Ebizo might end up being left behind.

Seeing this, Chiyo also took out a scroll and summoned her strongest puppet.

"The White Secret Technique: The Ten Ninja of Chikamatsu!"

Just as Chiyo was preparing to control the Chikamatsu Ten, she opened a breach.

A figure approached Chiyo stealthily, looking like an ordinary Konoha ninja, with nothing particularly remarkable about him.

Then a blade of light struck Chiyo, silent yet sharp.

"Puppet Technique: Laser Shield Seal!"

Faced with the incoming blade light, Chiyo's expression changed drastically, and she immediately used her strongest defensive ninjutsu.

Boom!

The blade struck Chiyo's chakra shield, causing violent ripples.

"That swordsmanship... White Fang!"

Chiyo's eyes turned red as she looked at the masked man who concealed his face, and said through gritted teeth.

Sakumo Hatake did not react, but increased his chakra output, making the White Fang even more dazzling, attempting to kill Chiyo in one blow.

Having experienced life and death, Sakumo Hatake's sword has become more restrained in its sharpness. In the past, Chiyo would never have allowed Sakumo Hatake to get close to her.

After all, with that kind of sharp aura, how many people would be willing to engage in close combat?

This time, however, Chiyo failed to detect Sakumo Hatake's approach and thus found herself in a life-or-death crisis.

Chiyo's hands trembled slightly, and the ripples of her chakra shield grew more and more intense. She was losing ground in her battle against Hatake Sakumo.

Chiyo knew she might not be able to hold out much longer. Faced with White Fang's close-range attack, she would meet the same fate as her son!

"burst!"

Among the Chikamatsu Ten, the one closest to the White Fang exploded violently, interrupting Hatake Sakumo's attack.

Chiyo immediately manipulated the remaining puppets to protect herself, while continuously increasing the distance between herself and White Fang.

Even though they detonated a meticulously crafted puppet, halting White Fang's attack, they still paid a heavy price.

Chiyo had a deep gash on her chest, from which blood continued to gush, a testament to the danger she faced in front of White Fang, and her fighting ability seemed to be greatly diminished.

Bathed in silver light, Hatake Sakumo chased after her, relentlessly wielding his sword, destroying Chiyo's puppets one after another.

Chiyo could only retreat continuously, summoning new puppets in an attempt to stop White Fang's advance.

"Sister, are you alright?!"

Ebizo, who was being suppressed by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, was horrified to see his sister being ambushed by Sakumo Hatake.

They immediately tried to escape the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and go to Chiyo's aid.

Given her sister's situation, she couldn't face White Teeth alone.

Nara Shikaku gave Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza a wink.

The two immediately understood and deliberately gave Ebizo a flaw.

Ebizo didn't care whether it was a trap or not and immediately rushed towards Chiyo.

"Now! Choza!"

"Human Bomber!"

Akimichi Choza charged toward Ebizo's puppets, destroying a large number of them in a single encounter.

Ebizo is no longer capable of fighting!

"support!"

Ebizo shouted and gathered the remaining few puppets, controlling them to block White Fang.

"No, Chiyo can't die right now. Without Chiyo keeping things under control, those idiots in Sunagakure might just riot!"

"Let's go support Elder Chiyo!"

Rasa roared, and a large number of Sand Ninja sacrificed their lives to stop White Fang's advance, allowing Chiyo to retreat successfully.

Luo Sha then slightly turned his head.

A gust of wind struck, leaving a bloody mark on Luo Sha's face.

"Wind Release: Wind Slicing Technique!"

Orochimaru revealed a cruel smile.

Looking at Chiyo and Ebizo's condition, Rasa knew that the possibility of the Sand Ninja's high-level combat power breaking the unfavorable situation had disappeared.

The massacre of the Sand Ninja by the Guyver Armor further solidified Rasa's resolve.

"Retreat! Team One, retreat first; Teams Six and Seven, stay behind to cover the rear!"

One team consists of ninjas recruited by Rasa during the war; they are Rasa's forces.

Teams 6 and 7 consist of ninjas who have consistently refused to cooperate with Rasa and are hostile towards him. They include clan ninjas, high-ranking members of Sunagakure, and supporters of Pakura.

This is a good opportunity to eliminate a wave of them.

Wow, that old guy is something else.

"No need to chase anymore. The number of bio-armored equipment is still insufficient. I will request the village to send more as soon as possible."

"The ninjas equipped with the Guyver Armor will take care of the Sand Ninjas left to cover their retreat."

Soon, the Sand Ninja, forced to stay behind to cover the retreat, fell down unwillingly.

Orochimaru greedily looked at the corpses around him, hoping to harvest a large amount of soul energy through the Dead Soul Insects.

But it still needs to be concealed, though given his position as commander-in-chief, it's easy.

……

Rasa led the defeated Sand Ninja back to the camp and looked at the disheartened Sand Ninja.

"Don't worry, everyone. I've already sent reinforcements from the village, and they'll be here soon! And this time, one of them is a Jinchūriki!"

The Sand Village ninja were shocked to hear that the One-Tailed Beast was a Jinchuriki; tailed beasts were powerful weapons of war.

"The strongest Kazekage!"

Rasa smiled slightly as he listened to the Sand Ninja's cheers, but his heart trembled when he saw the casualty report of this battle.

Faced with the Guyver Armor, the Sand Village could only send Jonin to deal with it.

Genin and Chunin can't cause much damage at all, and the Guyver Armor can even repair itself after absorbing chakra!

"No, we must gather intelligence on those white armored vehicles! They're too dangerous!"

"Pass this information out! We can't let the Sand Village ninja face all this alone; we need others to share the burden!"

Information about Konoha's Guyver Armor was disseminated through this battle.

The terrifying casualty ratio terrified even Konoha's enemy ninjas.

Spies from various villages within Konoha sprang into action, gathering intelligence on the Guyver Armor.

The entire ninja world was thus thrown into turmoil.

Everyone wants to know if the Bio-Armor can give Konoha a precipitous advantage.
