Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 45 Yellow Sparrow Leaves

The battle at Uzushiogakure quickly escalated to a fever pitch.

Two thousand elite soldiers from Sunagakure and Iwagakure fought fiercely against the Uzumaki ninja, making it very difficult for the Uzumaki ninja.

Although their sealing techniques are very strong, especially some forbidden techniques, most of them require close proximity to be used.

However, the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja were clearly prepared for this and did not give them a chance to get close. They only released ninjutsu from a distance, and the two sides even had a tacit cooperation.

The Sand Ninja's puppeteer unit directly controls puppets to attack from a distance. Even if they use forbidden techniques to destroy the puppets, it is difficult to cause any harm to the puppets themselves.

The Iwa ninjas launched a large-scale combined Earth Release ninjutsu attack, making them very difficult to hit.

Moreover, that ninja with Lava Release is even more destructive, making him extremely difficult to defeat.

The main reason is that their previous attack on the Hidden Mist Ninja Army consumed a lot of chakra, which greatly affected their combat strength.

"We can't delay any longer!"

The swirling aloe vera looked resolute.

The current situation is very unfavorable to them. The Sand Village and Iwa Village ninja forces have obviously obtained information about the previous battle with the Kirigakure army and are on guard against the large-scale Five Elements power they unleash with the Banana Fan.

Although they could wear down their opponent by using their superior chakra reserves, maintaining the Four Red Yang Formation would also consume a great deal of energy.

At this point, they are already pushing their lives to the limit and cannot hold on for much longer.

Once the Four Red Sun Formation is no longer in place, these Sand and Rock Ninja can retreat at their leisure, rest for a while, and then come back stronger. They will be much better prepared then.

However, this is not what worries him the most. What worries him the most is the methods used by Konoha. So far, only Shimura Danzo has emerged, and the Third Hokage has not yet appeared.

Even before the people of Konoha have directly attacked Uzushiogakure, once they do, it will be a thunderous strike.

Therefore, the war against the Sand and Rock Ninja must be fought quickly and decisively, without any delay.

We have no choice but to use that forbidden technique!

"Second Uncle!"

Upon seeing the hand seal formed by his second uncle, Masahiko Uzumaki, who was fighting against the Chiyo no Chikamatsu Ten with the Vajra Chain not far away, was greatly alarmed.

He naturally knew what that seal meant. It was a forbidden technique. Once used, one's soul would be taken away by the Grim Reaper, never to be reincarnated. It was the most terrifying and taboo forbidden technique of their Whirlpool Clan.

"Purple, come back quickly!"

The West Dead Man, who was directing the battle from the rear, noticed the unusual behavior of Elder Uzumaki and Masahiko Uzumaki and realized something was wrong. He immediately called for Purple to return, as she was using Lava Release: Magma Release to fight against the Vajra Lock from a distance.

The sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan are too strange, with too many taboos, so we must be very careful.

Zi didn't try to be brave. She withdrew from the attack range of the Vajra Chains and leaped back to their side of the Earth Flow Wall city wall, keeping a close eye on those old guys from the Vortex Clan.

At the same time, he was puzzled. The Four-Tails seemed very calm at this moment, and did not take the opportunity to go berserk. It even took the initiative to use its own chakra to fight against the Adamantine Sealing Barrier.

Are they afraid of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques?

The elders of the Whirlpool Clan also raised their hands to form hand seals, their expressions resolute.

This is the strongest forbidden technique of their Uzumaki clan, specifically targeting the soul. Even a powerful figure like the First Hokage would be certain to die if his soul could be pulled out from under its influence.

Furthermore, this forbidden technique is based on the user's chakra. The stronger the chakra, the greater the power. With the amount of chakra these few people have, even the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages would have to kneel down.

"Invading demons, become sacrifices to Death alongside me!"

His murky yet cold gaze swept over Chiyo and the others, and the swirling aloe vera seal reached its final stage.

The other elders were also close to completing their hand seals, which was one of the reasons they used the Four Red Yang Formation to seal off the entire Whirlpool Hidden Village, preventing those people from escaping.

Chiyo and the others felt uneasy watching Aloe and the others' actions. What kind of terrifying forbidden technique was that?

Just as Aloe and the others were sacrificing their life force and overloading themselves to refine chakra and summon the Grim Reaper, they suddenly coughed up black blood and collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, many people from both sides who were engaged in fierce fighting suddenly collapsed to the ground, and some even lost their lives.

"poison?"

Masahiko Uzumaki, whose legs buckled and who was kneeling on one knee, spat out a mouthful of black blood, finding it hard to believe.

They had taken precautions against the poison from Sunagakure long ago, preparing a large amount of antidote and wearing masks. How could they still be poisoned?

"It's not poison from Sunagakure!"

Struggling to her feet, Aloe looked at the Chiyo siblings, who were also in poor condition, as well as the Iwagakure ninja commander, and realized that it wasn't the Sand Village's poison, nor the Iwagakure ninja's, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to poison and kill their own people.

"Hidden Clouds?"

Masahiko Uzumaki immediately thought of Kumogakure, who hoped that Uzumaki Village would be destroyed so that they could take over the Uzumaki clan members, especially that wretched brat.

That's despicable!

"Snapped!"

Uzumaki Aloe slapped him across the face, scolding him with exasperation, "Even now you still don't understand? This is Konoha making a move against us. Compared to Kumogakure, Konoha would rather see our Uzumakigakure destroyed."

"This must have been a trick left behind by those three people after they entered the village this morning; otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to use it so silently through the Four Red Yang Formation."

Although there is no evidence, some things can be understood by thinking about them.

Moreover, he was already on guard against Konoha's backup plan, thinking it would be a powerful ninja army hidden in the shadows. Who would have thought it would be this strange poison? He didn't even realize when he was poisoned.

"Konoha!"

Chiyo on the other side seemed to have discovered something, and roared angrily, her face becoming more ferocious.

The three women involved in the battle have all collapsed from poison and are dying rapidly. Clearly, the poison did not originate from any of them, leaving only the Leaf Village, Cloud Village, and Mist Village.

Kirigakure has already withdrawn from the game and is not particularly skilled in using poison, as is Kumogakure, leaving only Konoha.

Moreover, she felt that this was not simply poison, but a living thing, like some kind of small insect, which reminded her of the Aburame clan of Konoha.

"Clan Chief Uzumaki, we've all been tricked by Konoha. We've been poisoned by their insects, likely a secret technique of the Konoha Aburame clan. How about we call a truce?"

Ebizo took some poison to suppress the venomous insects in his body and shouted while enduring the discomfort.

There's no point in continuing the fight now, because their common enemy has now become Konoha.

Moreover, the Uzumaki ninjas were more troublesome than they had anticipated, and the battle could not be ended in a short time, so they had no choice but to cease hostilities.

"I, on behalf of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village), hereby declare a ceasefire!"

Meanwhile, the Iwagakure ninja commander, Nishi Shijin, who was also in poor condition, shouted a ceasefire while spitting out black blood.

Most of their men were down, leaving only a few of the stronger ones holding on. If they continued fighting, they would inevitably be wiped out.

This time, Konoha was superior and won; Iwagakure will remember this debt.

Before Masahiko Uzumaki could respond, the same chakra suddenly surged from the corpses, followed by a series of explosive tags appearing out of thin air.

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, the entire Whirlpool Village was engulfed in flames and roars, and all the corpses and buildings were blown to pieces and burned.

Especially when enveloped by the Four Red Sun Formation, the impact of the explosion became more concentrated, and it even triggered the flame power of the Four Red Sun Formation, further increasing its destructive power.

The four elders of the Vortex Clan, who were already at their limit, finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the Four Crimson Sun Formation shattered.
