"Um?"

"Is Konoha planning to launch an attack?"

Hozuki Shingetsu was somewhat puzzled when he saw Hoshino Shuichi create a clone.

At that moment, a commotion broke out within the Mist Ninja army.

"Watch out, a poisonous snake is emerging!"

"Kill them all!"

……

There were six venomous snakes in total, roaming around. The Mist Ninja were initially startled, but then they all took action and easily killed the snakes.

"How could a poisonous snake crawl out?"

Hozuki Shingetsu turned his head and frowned as he looked at something, then suddenly thought of someone in Konoha.

"Orochimaru's methods... are bad!"

Hozuki Shingetsu thought of the space-time ninjutsu mentioned by the Sand Ninja, and his back immediately became soaked with sweat.

He turned his head to look towards Konoha and just then saw Hoshino Shuichi's figure disappear.

"Small……"

Before Hozuki Shingetsu could utter a single word, three Hoshinobi Shuichi appeared in the army of Kirigakure ninja.

One is located at the left edge, one at the middle of the back, and the other at the right edge.

The appearance of Hoshinobi Shuichi startled the surrounding Mist Ninjas at first, followed by a chorus of shrieks.

"Be careful!"

"It's Hoshino Shuichi!"

"Kill him quickly!"

……

Although the army was assembled together, the positions of the Mist Ninja were still quite sparse.

One by one, the Mist Ninja roared and attacked, attracting the attention of the other Mist Ninja around them, and immediately causing a commotion.

But Hoshino Shuichi was faster. The moment he appeared, a blue flame dragon head had already formed on each of his shoulders. Blazing white light gathered as he opened his mouth, and then white beams of light shot out.

Fiery Dragon Breath!

*Pfft pfft pfft...* Like a string of gourds, one after another, the Mist Ninjas were pierced through by the high-temperature rays, until a Mist Ninja used Water Release to stop them.

In that instant, Hoshinoichi's main body and clones caused the deaths and injuries of more than thirty Mist Ninja.

As this move erupted, the chains behind Hoshinoichi roared out, dancing like dragons and snakes, deflecting the shuriken thrown by the Mist Ninja, piercing through the charging Mist Ninja, setting him ablaze with flames, and sending him flying with a piercing scream.

Rumble!

As the water surged, more Mist Ninja reacted, unleashing a barrage of water dragons and great rivers.

The Fiery Netherworld Lock contracted and then sank into the ground, transforming into a barrier.

Rumble!

Various water-style ninjutsu impacted the three barriers, causing a large amount of water vapor to rise and spread rapidly.

Meanwhile, inside the barrier, Hoshino Shuichi had already clasped his hands together.

At this moment, Hozuki Shingetsu was covered in sweat and repeatedly shouted, "Don't panic!"

"Spread out!"

"Surrounded!"

"Be on guard against the Leaf Village army!"

If Konoha were to launch a sudden attack at this moment… Hozuki Shingetsu gave orders while keeping his eyes fixed on the Konoha army.

Fortunately, the other side doesn't seem to be planning to act immediately. Is there some kind of conspiracy?

Hozuki Shingetsu felt uneasy.

Meanwhile, on the Konoha side, the Konoha ninja stared wide-eyed, swallowing hard.

"This... he went and killed everyone by himself?"

"Shuichi, the Jonin... he's amazing!"

"But are we just going to stand by and watch?"

……

Let alone ordinary Konoha ninjas, even Jonin, seeing the chaos on the Mist Ninja's side, couldn't help but say, "Lord Orochimaru, are we just going to stand by and watch? Isn't now the best time?"

The one who spoke was a Jonin from the Sarutobi clan named Sarutobi Shinichi.

Orochimaru was also staring intently at the Mist Ninja, his body tense, but when he heard Shinichi Sarutobi's voice, he smiled and said calmly, "Shinichi, there's no need to be in such a hurry. It's not time for my appointment with Shuichi-kun yet."

An agreement?

What agreement?

Many Konoha ninjas were very curious.

Meanwhile, within a short period of time, the Mist Ninja army had already completed the encirclement of Hoshino Shizuka, forming three encirclements, making Hoshino Shizuka, who was originally on the edge, no longer so remote.

The moment the moisture dissipated, Hoshino Shuichi also dispelled the barrier.

Immediately afterwards, various water-style ninjutsu bombarded from all directions, while at the same time, fire lotuses bloomed on Hoshino Shizuka's body, spewing out blue fireballs smaller than a fist, like blue lotus seeds being sprayed out.

Blue lotus seeds exploded upon impact with the water, like fiery lotuses blooming. Accompanied by bursts of flame, blue petals scattered in all directions, a Blue Flame Vacuum Slash formed by the combination of fire and wind techniques.

Fire Release and Water Release clashed, creating a continuous roar, while some Blue Flame Vacuum Slashes cut through the water flow, piercing through the Mist Ninja.

Rumble...

With continuous roars, blue lotus seeds were ejected one after another, exploding and breaking through the encirclement of Hoshinobi Shuichi by the Mist Ninja. The encirclement was transformed into a terrifying sea of ​​fire, and the Mist Ninja let out mournful screams.

At this moment, the combined power of wind and fire defeated the water-style technique!

This is yet another improvement by Xingxia Xiuyi on the Fire Hell Lotus!

The dense moisture generated by the collision of water and fire prevented the outermost Mist Ninja from seeing the battle clearly. They could only hear the terrifying screams of their comrades, which instilled fear in them.

As the explosions and screams subsided and the water vapor dissipated, a sharp, piercing friction sound reached the ears of many Mist Ninja.

"That is..."

"This level of chakra!"

"Damn it!"

One by one, the ninja stared wide-eyed at the rapidly spinning, windmill-like halo that Hoshino Shuichi held high in his hand.

Hozuki Shingetsu couldn't help but turn his head to look as well: "Wind Release, Fire Release, and Lava Release... Damn it!"

"spread!"

"Everyone, use Water Release!"

Hozuki Crescent roared with all its might.

Not only him, but also the Kirigakure Jonin who sensed something was wrong, as well as many Chunin, were shouting orders, retreating, and rapidly forming hand seals.

Then the other Mist Ninja also formed hand seals and used their most proficient Water Release techniques as quickly as possible.

Wind Release: Rasengan!

Wind and Fire Wheel Spiral Shuriken!

Lava Release: Rasengan!

Hoshino Shizuka's main body uses the Lava Release: Rasengan, while his two clones each use a different one.

"Since we've started this war, let's first... experience the pain!"

As soon as Hoshino spoke, his clone dissipated, and his main body disappeared from its original spot, appearing next to Asuka.

Immediately afterwards, Orochimaru and the other Konoha ninjas saw two rapidly expanding orbs of light, as well as expanding and rapidly rotating magma.

The light not only illuminated the night, but even they found it dazzling and dared not look directly at it.

Under such a sphere of light and radiance, the hundreds of Mist Ninjas appeared insignificant, and were instantly engulfed by the intense light.

"Too...too powerful!"

"This kind of ninjutsu is simply..."

"This kind of attack is from a completely different dimension!"

"Gurgle, will the Mist Ninja be taken down by Hideaki alone?"

……

"Shuichi-kun, you really are a pleasant surprise!"

Orochimaru, beaming, watched the unleashed ninjutsu with unusual excitement in his eyes: "Beautiful, so beautiful!"

"That's the charm of ninjutsu!"

Hoshino accepted all of Orochimaru's praise, then smiled and warned, "A storm is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously inflated ball of light contracted rapidly, followed by a gust of wind and a downpour that drenched all the Konoha ninjas.

The rainwater wasn't cold, it was hot!

On the other side of the battlefield, atop a bush-covered hill, White Zetsu, half-buried in the ground, gazed at the dazzling light: "What an astonishing ninjutsu!"

"This guy, Hoshino Shuichi, is amazing!"

"I heard she's only 12 years old?"

"So, what was I doing when I was 12 years old?"

Bai Jue was thinking very seriously.

Standing before the trees, Orochimaru turned to Shuichi Hoshita and asked, "Shuichi-kun, shall we attack now?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Okay!"

Orochimaru immediately waved his hand: "Attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he dashed off.

Hoshino Shizuka followed with Uchiha Shisui and the others. Then, the Konoha ninjas behind them, their blood boiling, rushed out of the forest and charged towards the Mist Ninja.

However, the Mist Ninja should have all been dealt with by Hideaki, right?

……

The site where the three spiral shuriken erupted has become a giant crater, filled with water, resembling a lake, with countless Mist Ninja floating on its surface, their fates unknown.

Not only in the large pit, but also in the waterlogged areas outside the pit, lay the Mist Ninja.

Some Mist Ninjas appeared to have no injuries, while others were completely charred black.

With a whoosh, the water-transformed Hozuki Crescent Moon appeared, its form gradually returning to normal. Looking around, it saw corpses lying all over the ground, and its mind went almost blank.

"Um?"

"Ah~~"

One by one, the Kirigakure ninjas who had fainted from the impact woke up.

Hozuki Shingetsu finally came to her senses and almost cried with joy.

More and more Mist Ninja got up, and Hozuki Shingetsu turned to look at the Konoha army, his expression changing.

Konoha is charging!

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

"Retreat towards the river!"

Hozuki Shingetsu shouted loudly.

Although more and more people are getting up, there's simply no way to continue fighting under these circumstances.

And that Hoshita Shuichi...

Hozuki Shingetsu acted decisively, turning and retreating with over a hundred Mist Ninja.

Hoshinobi Hideichi and his group arrived quickly, and the Mist Ninja who had just woken up were hit by shuriken and fell down again.

Without any pause, Orochimaru led a group of people to continue the pursuit, while a small number of Konoha ninja stayed behind to clean up the battlefield.

Although the three spiral shuriken enveloped all the Mist Ninjas, it was clear that they did not kill them all.

……

Seeing the Mist Ninja rushing ahead, Hoshino Hideya unleashed a fiery lotus under his foot, and his figure suddenly shot into the air.

Immediately afterward, under the gaze of Orochimaru and the others, the lotus patterns on Hoshino Shuichi's chakra cloak came to life.

In an instant, blue lotus flowers bloomed layer by layer behind Hoshino Shizuka.

Boom!

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted as Hoshino Hideichi broke the sound barrier, shooting out with a long trail of flame, streaking across the night sky like a meteor.

"So fast!"

The Konoha ninja exclaimed in surprise.

In just a moment, the fleeing Mist Ninja looked up and saw a streak of fire descending from the sky.

boom!

Hoshinoichi descended from the sky and stood in front of all the Mist Ninja.

He raised his hands, and dragon heads materialized, with two more dragon heads appearing on his shoulders.

Fiery Dragon Breath!

High-temperature rays burst forth, piercing through the bodies of the Mist Ninjas, who screamed and fell to the ground.

"Scatter and retreat!"

Hozuki Shingetsu leaped to dodge, his hands forming hand seals, but before the ninjutsu could be completed, the sound of air being torn apart rang out, and Hoshino Shuichi appeared in front of him, grabbing his neck with his right hand.

Whoosh!

Hozuki Shingetsu turned into water, and his entire body collapsed into a stream of water that fell down.

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi withdrew his Fire Release Chakra Mode, and accompanied by the sound of Chidori's cry, his whole body erupted with lightning that shot outwards.

Chidori Stream!

The water-transformed Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon was instantly electrified into a lump of jelly.

"team leader!"

"Lord Crescent Moon!"

One by one, the Mist Ninja exclaimed in surprise. Several Mist Ninja who had already retreated immediately turned back, but the next moment, the bodies of those who rushed forward all fell down and rolled on the ground.

Illusion - Golden Binding Technique!

Seeing the scattered and fleeing Mist Ninja, Hoshino Shuichi decided not to pursue them.

The mind has been taken care of; the rest can be left to Orochimaru and his men!

By this time, the others had caught up as well. Some of them stopped with Orochimaru, while the other Konoha ninjas began to disperse and pursue.

This was destined to be a battle in which the entire Mist Ninja army was wiped out.
