Chapter 798 Fight, fight, fight
A fierce wind swept up fallen leaves and pebbles, merging with Mikoto's flames to create a powerful offensive that completely enveloped the Sand Ninja. A new round of battle had begun.
The massive commotion quickly attracted the attention of more Sand Ninja. Two Anbu members protecting Kushina also joined the battle, making the situation even more chaotic as they faced multiple opponents.
The Sand Shinobi discovered that they were surrounded by images of Kushina with red hair, and they quickly realized that these were multiple shadow clones. For a short time, they were unable to harm Kushina's real body, and the two sides fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.
Unable to break through, the Sand Ninja exchanged glances and simultaneously retreated, creating distance between themselves. They quickly formed hand seals and chanted, "Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!"
A powerful burst of Earth Release chakra erupted instantly, causing the surrounding land to tremble violently, as if an earthquake had occurred. Kushina's shadow clones were unable to stand due to the violent tremors and lost their balance.
Kushina Uzumaki controlled her clones to leap into the air simultaneously, holding hands to form a dense circle. Then, she extended her long legs and launched a spiraling flying kick down, like a giant red spinning top, attacking the Sand Ninja.
The Sand Ninjas summoned a giant rock and used "Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Return" to block it. After the rock collided violently with the clone, Kushina's clone turned into white smoke and dissipated.
However, at this moment, more and more Sand Ninja finished off their opponents and rushed towards the direction where Kushina's main body was. This group of Sand Ninja wore masks and wielded long swords, clearly elite members of the Sand Village's Anbu.
After the Sand Village Anbu joined the battle, they quickly began to spin around Kushina, Mikoto, and two Konoha Anbu members. In an instant, the surrounding land around the four of them turned into fine sand.
Driven by the rotational force, the sand formed a high-speed rotating vortex, completely trapping the four people in the center.
Kushina Uzumaki unleashed a powerful punch at the spinning sand barrier, but her fist was immediately deflected by a strong recoil. She sensed a massive amount of chakra gathering around the four of them, and a chill ran down her spine; she deduced this was a prelude to the Sunagakure ANBU unleashing a powerful attack. Once completed, the four trapped individuals would surely die.
Two Konoha ANBU members tried to throw shuriken, but all of them were deflected by the spinning sand and had no effect.
"Hmph!" A Sand Ninja sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "Die! Secret Technique, Sandstorm Devouring Bones!"
A fierce wind swept up sand and gravel, forming a small sandstorm that blocked all four people's escape routes, threatening to bury them completely and devour them.
A red glint flashed in Kushina's eyes. She knew it was time. She silently roared at the shadowy figure of the Nine-Tails within her, "You stinking fox! Come out now!"
The nine-tailed fox sealed within her body was now lying lazily in front of an iron gate. It slowly yawned and replied, "No way."
Faced with Kurama's passive resistance, Kushina Uzumaki was furious! Her dazzling red hair instantly stood on end, like flames of anger, as she roared at Kurama, "You stinking fox! If I die, you'll die with me, you believe me!"
A sly smile appeared on the Nine-Tailed Fox's face as it lazily bargained, "If you break the seal, I'll lend you all my power."
Kushina Uzumaki refused without hesitation: "Don't even think about it! Since you won't help, then we'll die together!" She would rather die than let this stinking fox succeed.
Kurama snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in its eyes: "Hmph, there will be no danger. I have already sensed an extremely strong dark chakra approaching."
Before Kushina Uzumaki could react to Kurama's words, a clear shout suddenly rang out in the real world: "Break!"
The sword rang out, crisp and melodious, yet carrying the power to destroy everything. Unintentionally, the sword was drawn, its blade tracing a graceful arc in the air, flashing with light, its surface reflecting blinding lightning.
The lightning, carrying immense power, instantly condensed into a single point, precisely striking the center of the sandstorm stirred up by the Sand Ninja.
"boom--!"
The massive sandstorm vanished in an instant, and the ejected arcs of electricity, carrying a paralyzing effect, spread rapidly along with the remaining chakra within the sand.
Zhang Hai's shadow clone flashed like lightning, unleashing a phantom sword technique. All the Sand Ninja who had been attacking him collapsed instantly under the combined assault of lightning and phantom magic, none of them breathing again.
Zhang Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina were out of danger. He secretly rejoiced that he had finally arrived in time.
Two Konoha ANBU members recognized Zhang Hai and immediately greeted him respectfully, "Lord Ye!"
Zhang Hai ignored the Anbu and walked straight up to Kushina Uzumaki, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction and accusation: "Why didn't you use your full strength just now? If I had arrived any later, you would all be dead, you know that?!"
Kushina Uzumaki instantly recognized Zhang Hai's voice. Coupled with her previous anger at Kurama, she immediately bristled and was about to retort.
"Alright, alright," Mikoto Uchiha quickly smoothed things over. She recognized Zhang Hai, who was wearing an Anbu mask, as her sworn brother and said, "Kushina did her best. She just saved Itachi!"
Young Itachi Uchiha ran out from behind the Anbu. Seeing Zhang Hai, he respectfully addressed him, "Father!" He recalled his near-death experience; the despair and fear of that moment made him understand the meaning of life. Perhaps, it was to protect Konoha and his family, to prevent them from experiencing war again.
Zhang Hai no longer concealed his identity and said to Mikoto, "Mikoto, your chakra is running low, you can't continue fighting. Next, I'll set up a barrier here, and neither you nor Itachi should go out."
Mikoto readily agreed, "Okay." She knew Zhang Hai was thinking of their safety.
After setting up the barrier, Zhang Hai said to the two Konoha Anbu members, "You are responsible for guarding her, right? Then do your duty and stay inside this barrier with her. Don't go out."
After saying that, Zhang Hai left without looking back, leaving Kushina Uzumaki fuming with anger.
"You bastard! I'm not done with you!" Kushina yelled at Zhang Hai's back, but Zhang Hai's figure had already disappeared into the distance.
Zhang Hai's shadow clones darted through the village and quickly discovered that the Sand Village's attack was focused on the Ninja Academy. There, a group of newly graduated ninjas were guarding it. This revealed Rasa's sinister intentions; he clearly wanted to demoralize Konoha by attacking the cradle of future ninjas.
