Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

The wind attribute is a chakra shape transformation that emphasizes sharpening and cutting to the extreme. No matter how tough Manda is, it is still just flesh and blood. When the two collide, the result is self-evident.

When Yu Xian slashed at Manda with the vacuum blade in his hand, the outermost scales did have a hard feel to them. However, after cutting through the shell, the body tissue inside... well, let's just say the meat was very good.

Because he attacked in anger, Yu Xian left no room for mercy, so the cut of the Vacuum Blade was very deep, a single, clean cut. With a crisp snap, Yu Xian knew that he had cut into the spine of the Thousand Serpent.

Although the attack was sharp, it ultimately failed to sever the creature in two. The reason was simple: Manda was too thick, and Yugen's sword was not long enough. Even if he had struck the tail, a single attack from a ninja would have been insufficient to cut through such a massive summoning beast.

But it doesn't matter. Yu Xian slashed down with his sword, landed, gripped the hilt, and lunged forward in an instant.

Wanshe thrashed its tail in agony. Yu Xian's sharp eyes caught his eye, and just as the tail lashed against the ground and bounced back up, he darted through the space beneath it like a needle thread.

So he used the vacuum blade in his hand to cut half a circle around the previous cut again.

Then he stopped abruptly, bent his legs, and in that instant of movement and stillness, all the power from his forward momentum was stored in his lower limbs. Immediately afterward, with a loud bang, the ground beneath his feet caved in, and Yu Xian, pulling the air blade, leaped up once again above the tail of the myriad snakes.

At this moment, his figure almost returned to the original point where he launched the attack in mid-air, which meant that he had slashed around the same spot with his long sword... Well, to Manda, what Yugen was holding was clearly a small knife.

Given Okiha Gen's obsession, anyone who didn't know better would think he was playing some kind of game. He had an unusual obsession with cutting off his tail, and so Manda's tail was eventually severed.

"A pointy tail isn't pretty. You can change it to an earthworm tail later..." Yu Xian thought to herself.

Then Yu Xian threw away the long sword in his hand.

After realizing what Yugen had done, Manda was overwhelmed by pain and rage. Normally, a summoning beast that suffers this kind of injury would voluntarily dispel the summoning, but Manda did not do so. It began to attack Yugen like a madman.

Manda's expression was quite ferocious, and its movements were like those of an eel with its head hanging on a nail, waiting to be slaughtered; the whole snake was twisted into a ball.

As a result, a large amount of blood was being flung out from the wound on its tail, causing blood to rain down on the battlefield.

However, Yugen was now on guard, and Manda's frenzied attacks were unlikely to hit a ninja who was proficient in the Body Flicker Technique. He dodged the attacks while using Wind Release ninjutsu to counterattack.

However, compared to his earlier attack filled with resentment, Yugen's counterattack this time seemed to stop short of attack. On one hand, a summoning beast as large as Manda is difficult to kill directly, and in terms of attack power and destructive force, Yugen is definitely not as good as the artist from Iwagakure. On the other hand, Orochimaru is still here, and Yugen can't just ignore him.

Orochimaru was standing firmly on Manda's head. He didn't care that Manda had lost a piece of its tail, and he was happy to see Manda's mad dog-like attack.

Manda is too insane; there will always be unlucky Sand Village ninjas who are crushed. Without a physique like Hagen's, once an enemy is grazed by Manda's attack, they can forget about getting up.

After reducing the number of enemies, Orochimaru felt it was time to clean up the battlefield, so he was the one who released the summoning jutsu... Summoning beasts don't often have this much energy, and Orochimaru didn't seem to appreciate it.

After defeating Manda, the ninjas finally regained their fighting rhythm.

Yu Xian heard a clattering sound, and a humanoid puppet appeared behind him. He heard a whooshing sound from the back of his head, and he quickly lowered his body, turned to the side, and slammed a Rasengan into the puppet.

Why do puppeteers insist on making their puppets humanoid? Yu Xian didn't quite understand the puppeteers' thinking.

The more bizarre the shape of the puppet, the harder it is to figure out its attack rhythm; humanoid puppets are the opposite... well, bizarre puppets are more difficult to control.

A Rasengan destroyed half of the puppet, but since the puppet is not human, it can still be used even in its half-crippled state. So, Yu Xian immediately set her sights on the puppeteer behind her.

With puppets in front, the puppeteer's combat environment is relatively safe, but only relatively.

Under Yu Xian's deliberate guidance, the distance between the puppet and the puppeteer was continuously compressed until it reached a level that could be crossed by a teleportation technique.

Yu Xian clearly saw the purple venom clinging to the spikes the puppet was thrusting at him, so he knew he couldn't fight it. The next moment, he appeared behind the puppeteer.

He gripped a short sword in his backhand, his figure appearing briefly behind the puppeteer before swiftly disappearing again.

The puppeteer felt a chill on his neck. He instinctively reached up and touched it, only to find a slight cut. Well, there was nothing he could do now; he could only collapse to the ground.

If the Sand Village ninjas had a reason to eliminate Yugen when he first appeared here, now that Orochimaru has shown up, the Sand Village side actually has no need to continue fighting.

Since it's impossible to defeat Orochimaru with these people, at least not in the short term, the Sand Village ninjas have been completely exposed.

At first, the Sand Village ninjas were somewhat irrational, their minds filled with the necessity of completing the mission, but they quickly came to their senses, and someone took the opportunity to send out a retreat signal.

The surviving Sand Village ninjas immediately began to disperse and evacuate, some even going in different directions.

Now that the Konoha side was outnumbered, they were at a loss. Fortunately, only seven enemies managed to escape in the end.

"Lord Orochimaru, shall we give chase?" Yugen approached Orochimaru and asked him.

Orochimaru observed Yugen calmly, not because Yugen had just attacked Manda, but because Yugen was still in Sage Mode, which clearly piqued Orochimaru's curiosity... Manda didn't matter; Yugen had attacked Manda, not Orochimaru.

Isn't it only natural that Manda was attacked?

"There's no need. Their operation has already been ruined by you." Orochimaru kept his eyes fixed on Hagen, not even glancing at the destroyed summoning jutsu on the ground.

But the next moment, he still had to look away, and even his expression changed noticeably... Was he surprised?

Yugen followed Orochimaru's gaze and then noticed a large amount of dark red smoke rising from Konoha.
