"drink!"

Then, a soft, childish shout came from the other right side.

"Boom!"

Just moments before, the deafening roar of the series of explosions.

"!?"

The ensuing commotion and the subsequent tremors caught the two Grass Ninjas at the forefront off guard, and they were swept into the chain of explosions.

"Well!?"

"what!?"

The piercing screams, the severed limbs blown off, and the splattering blood forced the other Grass Ninja to turn and dodge the explosive attacks. Even Mammoth and Red Star had to retreat immediately.

This sudden change caught Red Star and Mammoth off guard.

When Mammoth saw his two subordinates die so easily, a ferocious look appeared on his face.

"The soul is pale!"

And it was at that very moment.

"Whoosh!"

In the left-hand position.

A slightly petite figure suddenly approached.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

This rapid hand seal unleashed a fierce burst of blazing flames.

The moment of sudden and powerful attack.

Forced to dodge again, the mammoth barely managed to avoid the frontal attack, but was still grazed by the flames and smelled the acrid smoke!

This somewhat disheveled appearance made the mammoth's expression extremely ferocious.

"Who is it?! How dare they ambush me!"

The three who made the move were undoubtedly Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara. After confirming that there were no other ambushes in the surrounding area, they saw that Akahoshi and Mammoth were already attacking the Third Hokage's position.

Itachi decisively ordered an attack!

Deidara uses clay creatures as his first move.

Kurotsuchi went to assist the Third Hoshikage.

Itachi faced off against this Jonin from Kusagakure alone, which was the most reasonable arrangement and a test for Itachi himself. A Jonin from a small village is still a Jonin. If he could withstand the attack of this Jonin and even win, it would definitely prove his growth over this period of time!

Mammoth!

This is the perfect opponent to measure yourself against!

"Chief Mogi, we'll hold these people off for you for now. Please deal with the rogue ninja Akahira as soon as possible!"

Kurotsuchi, who had arrived at the Third Hoshikage's side, immediately used the Lava Release technique to further divide the battlefield and squeeze out the ordinary grass ninjas. At the same time, she quickly said the same thing to the Third Hoshikage beside her.

Although the old man was initially taken aback by the appearance of Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara, he was experienced and quickly realized that having reinforcements was the best thing!

After all, if what Akahoshi said was true, and his backup plan had been blocked or even wiped out, he would definitely die here without Itachi and the other two's support.

A single Red Star and a Mammoth would be fatal enough, not to mention the seven or eight ordinary Chunin-gen ninjas from the Grass Ninja. It can be said that the arrival of Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi was like a timely rain rescue!

"Alright! Then I'll leave it to the three of you. I will definitely take down Red Star as soon as possible!"

At this moment.

Even if my age is more than ten times that of the three little ones.

All three generations of Star Shadows expressed their sincerest gratitude and some sense of guilt.

But that's all for later. What we need to do now is defeat the enemy right in front of us!

A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Third Hoshikage.

Then it pressed down on the location of the red star at an extremely fast speed!

301. The Bloody Reality

Deidara, in coordination with Kurotsuchi, attacked the remaining five or six ordinary grass ninja, striving to eliminate them in the shortest possible time.

After all, Itachi was taking on the responsibility of being a Jonin all by himself.

Even though I have great faith in Itachi's strength, I still have some concerns.

The situation was turned around in an instant.

Akahoshi and Mammoth seemed unable to react immediately, but as the Third Hoshikage, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara each made their moves, a hint of anger simultaneously appeared on their faces.

"You brat!"

The two, Akahoshi and Mammoth, were naturally on good terms, and Mammoth recognized the three children immediately. To be honest, Mammoth felt a little guilty when he saw the three of them. He was worried that Shoji might also be there. Even though he was proud and didn't respect Shoji, Mammoth's rationality told him that he was no match for Shoji if Shoji appeared.

The mammoth would definitely turn around and run away immediately!

But now it seems that it was just these three little ones acting alone!

As Mammoth regained a little courage, he was also extremely annoyed. How dare a mere genin attack a jonin like him!?

"Are you tired of living?! Kid! Then let me send you to hell!"

With a ferocious look on his face, Mammoth pounced on Itachi, who was positioned opposite him. As long as Shoji wasn't there, his side still had a clear advantage. Although it might be a little more difficult with Akahoshi, dealing with one genin and having five subordinates deal with two genin would be a piece of cake!

The initial disarray was merely a result of the enemy's cunning sneak attack.

Three mere genin could have ended the battle in seconds. However, as soon as they clashed head-on, Mammoth realized he was terribly wrong. His opponents were not the rookie brats he had thought who only managed to gain a small advantage through sneak attacks.

Rather, they are real opponents who can rival him, a Jonin!

"boom!"

Of course, this was not only because Mammoth underestimated Itachi, but also because he overestimated himself. The ninjas of the small ninja villages could not compare with the five great ninja villages in terms of quantity, and there was always a significant gap in quality!

Aside from a select few geniuses (such as Kakuzu and Hidan).

The so-called Jonin from the remaining small ninja villages would be at best Special Jonin in the Five Great Ninja Villages, or even weaker, only slightly stronger than Elite Chunin. Mammoth was certainly not that weak, but his strength could not truly compare with the powerful Jonin in the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Overestimate yourself, underestimate your enemy.

This is why the unbelievable unfolding occurred.

Especially when they got close, Itachi activated his Sharingan immediately, the black tomoe slowly rotating within his crimson eye sockets.

"Sharingan!? You're from the Uchiha clan!?"

Mammoth's heart skipped a beat instinctively.

"Clang!"

The kunai collided violently.

The mammoth couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Itachi, however, maintained a calm and composed expression.

A turned palm.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

With its sudden pressure, the force, though insufficient to force the mammoth into submission, did manage to gain a slight advantage in angle.

"Illusion!"

Those pupils seemed to suddenly turn even more scarlet.

"!?"

A sudden sense of danger washed over him, and Mammoth abruptly felt his vision go black. It was only for that instant. Even though Mammoth was somewhat overrated, he was still a very experienced Jonin. Before his vision completely went dark...

He bit his tongue hard, forcibly controlling the surge of his chakra.

The illusion was forcefully broken.

However, a fatal gap of about one second still occurred.

Itachi decisively seized the opportunity and launched a sudden attack to close the distance.

The kunai that flipped out.

Aiming precisely at the mammoth's chest, he viciously thrust it in.

In that most critical moment, the mammoth regained consciousness.

"The soul is pale!"

He roared angrily!

The body was forcibly deflected and then suddenly sank.

"Pfft!"

However, he could only barely avoid the vital points. A scarlet flower of blood bloomed from the pierced sleeve and flesh on his shoulder.

A metallic chill and a stinging sensation instantly traveled to the brain.

This made the expression of the Jonin from Kusagakure grow increasingly frantic.

With a sudden twist of his body, he forcefully kicked out with his left leg.

Itachi's pupils suddenly narrowed, and he quickly crossed his arms into a defensive stance. The next second, he felt the force of gravity.

"boom!"

His body suddenly sank.

Like a cannonball, it flew backward at high speed.

"Boom!"
