Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 46 Danzo's Severed Arm

A golden sphere flew out the moment the Four Red Sun Formation shattered, and only after flying a distance did it disintegrate to reveal several figures.

It was Rasa who used gold dust to bring out Chiyo and her brother, as well as Yokura, leaving only the four of them.

"Karura!"

Luo Sha looked back at the burning Uzushiogakure village, his heart filled with sorrow.

Gallo had been on the front lines, bringing the wounded down for treatment as soon as possible. However, the distance was too far for him to bring them out, so he had to prioritize his own safety and rush out first.

Now, the odds are against them.

Ebizo said weakly, "Hurry up, get back to the village as soon as possible. Yekura, continue to maintain the Scorching Release: Fireball. You weren't poisoned, so it must be that kind of poisonous insect that's afraid of fire."

Although the poison temporarily suppressed the venomous insects in the body, those poisons were not mild at all. Even though the mutual restraint of the medicinal properties was used to minimize the damage to the body, it was still not easy.

My sister and I have lost our fighting ability and must return to the village as soon as possible to obtain medicine to save ourselves, otherwise we will surely die.

The Iwa ninja on the other side weren't having an easy time either; the West Dead only managed to survive the explosion of the explosive tags by using Earth Release techniques.

"Purple, don't come near me, and don't release your Lava Release or the Four-Tails' chakra. Your Lava Release's high temperature should be able to drive away these poisonous insects, which is why you weren't poisoned."

"As the commander-in-chief of this ninja army, I now order you to return to the village as soon as possible and inform Lord Tsuchikage everything that has happened here, telling him that I, Nishi-Shijin, have failed his trust!"

Shouting to stop Zi who was about to rush over, west Siren knew he might not make it. Those poisonous insects were very strange, and even with his chakra, he could only barely suppress them and wouldn't survive.

We still don't know what other tricks Konoha has up its sleeve, and with Yukari carrying this burden, it will be even harder for her to escape back.

Moreover, now that the entire ninja army has been wiped out, he has no face to go back.

"Dead men!"

Zi clenched her fists tightly, not understanding why things had suddenly changed like this.

"Hurry up and leave. Konoha may have more than one killing move. Take advantage of the fact that they are being held back by the Cloud Ninja and get away as soon as possible. This is an order."

Spitting out another mouthful of black blood, Nishi no Shijin did not want Yuki to die here as well, not only because of Yuki's potential and strength, but more importantly because she was the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even though the sealing technique is imperfect, causing it to frequently go berserk, it is still an important force in the village.

"I will definitely tell Onoki everything, and I will avenge everyone."

Suppressing her grief and anger, Zi leaped out of the now-ruined Whirlpool Village.

He had to go back and tell Onoki everything that had happened here, and he also had to avenge his comrades and make those despicable Konoha pay the price!

"This is the result of my first time leading troops into battle. I'm so frustrated!"

Watching Zi's figure disappear into the distance, west Siren felt extremely unwilling.

He thought he could use this battle to achieve fame and success, but who would have thought it would turn out like this?

"My child, the future is in your hands."

Even though his son was dead in the east and dead in the west, he still had hope.

His son also possesses leadership qualities, and even has more potential than him; he will surely surpass him in the future.

Thinking of his son, Xisi staggered towards the outside of Uzushiogakure, trying to suppress the poisonous insects in his body while simultaneously channeling his chakra to perform ninjutsu.

Although his chances of returning were slim, he would not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

……

"Full speed ahead, target: Uzushiogakure Village!"

Upon seeing the intense flames over the direction of Uzushiogakure, Tsuchida decisively ordered them to advance in that direction.

Tamura Hiroshi also followed along, carrying the large sword Samehada, and communicated with Samehada, indicating that a big meal was about to be served.

Although we haven't convinced Samehada to accept us as its master yet, we've already stopped it from resisting or struggling.

The next step is to absorb the chakra from the Uzumaki ninja's corpse.

On the other side of the battlefield, noticing the firelight coming from the village of Uzushiogakure, Danzo Shimura was secretly delighted, knowing that his plan had succeeded.

First came the assassination attempt by nano-poisonous insects, then the explosion of 100,000 explosive tags. Uzushiogakure will definitely not have anything left, and the Iwagakure and Sunagakure ninjas must have been completely wiped out.

However, this joy was short-lived, as a blood-red barrier rapidly rose around them. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that five ninjas with red hair were unleashing their chakra to create the barrier.

"Shimura Danzo, die!"

At the same time, the Third Raikage took out a pill and swallowed it. Then, black lightning erupted from his body and gathered in his palm as he unleashed the Hell Thrust and charged forward.

Danzo could only swing his sword to strike, and the blade was covered with sharp wind blades formed by the Vacuum Jewel. He had used this to cut through the Third Raikage's Lightning Release armor many times before.

However, this time, the Third Raikage, who unleashed black lightning, had increased his combat power to a new level. In an instant, he ignored the elemental advantage and broke the Vacuum Ball and the Ninja Sword, and even cut off Shimura Danzo's right arm holding the sword.

"withdraw!"

Danzo Shimura was both shocked and furious at the pain in his right arm, but he dared not delay. With a roar, he rushed towards the area where the barrier had not yet closed.

The ninja under his command received orders to retreat immediately, but the Third Raikage disagreed with their decision.

A flash of black lightning blocked the section that hadn't yet closed, single-handedly stopping the Konoha ninja.

Meanwhile, the Cloud Ninja Jonin who had been slacking off unleashed their full power, using various ninjutsu and taijutsu techniques together.

"A full-scale attack to break through, the Third Raikage is forcing his way out with drugs, he can't keep it up for long."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shouted to prevent chaos among his ninja.

Hearing Sarutobi Shinnosuke's shout, the ninjas of both clans quickly regained their morale, resisting the attacks of the Cloud Ninjas from behind while launching a fierce assault on the Third Raikage.

However, the Third Raikage was not at his last gasp. The pill he had swallowed earlier was just a soldier's ration pill, not to replenish his strength, but to mislead Shimura Danzo and the Konoha ninja.

The barrier closed quickly, and these people completely lost any chance of escape.

Although this Five Elements Barrier is far less powerful than the Four Red Yang Formation, it is not so easy to break through, not to mention that there are the Third Raikage and hundreds of Cloud Village Jonin entangled with Konoha ninja inside.

The Third Raikage, now completely unrestrained, unleashed his full power, wreaking havoc within the Konoha ninja ranks and disrupting the formations of both clans. Meanwhile, the Cloud Ninja launched a fierce attack from the outside, their cooperation seamless.

The massacre that the Hidden Mist ninja suffered before has been repeated, and they have no chance to escape.

Even using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape underground) won't work, because the ground is also covered by a barrier, making it impossible to dig a hole and go underground.

"Cloud Ninja!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke roared angrily, his heart filled with grief and despair.

He knew it was all over, everything was over.

"Shinnosuke!"

With several wounds on her body, Shimura Izumi leaped forward wielding a combination naginata, her face resolute. Even if they were to die, they would die together.

"Sister Quan, we can't die here!"

The arrival of his girlfriend calmed Sarutobi Shinnosuke down a little, and he immediately said something resolute.

He took out a secret medicine and swallowed it. A huge amount of chakra quickly erupted from his body. He bit his finger, quickly formed hand seals, and finally slammed his palm on the ground.

"Summoning Technique: Monkey King, Monkey Demon!"

Normally, he wouldn't be able to summon Enma with his current chakra, but thanks to the power of the secret medicine, he has barely managed to do so.

"Shinnosuke?"

Surprised by the summoned ape demon, who had never expected that the one who summoned him was Hiruzen Sarutobi's son, he immediately realized that something was wrong with his surroundings.

"Uncle Ape Demon, quickly transform into your Vajra Cudgel and break this barrier!"

Despite the excruciating pain from the secret medicine's effects, Sarutobi Shinnosuke spoke rapidly, saying that they must break this barrier as soon as possible and lead their people out.
