"They're here!" Wuyue's eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand. "Get ready."

As if to imprint his words. A moment later, clouds of dust rose in the distance, and even from a distance, one could see a large wave of Sand Ninja swarming toward them.

Wow, there are way too many people!

Even Mugetsu was taken aback. Didn't these Sand Ninja have a battle plan or any formation? Were they just going to launch a direct assault and fight head-on?!

I'm speechless!

Is Granny Chiyo really young at heart despite her age? She's clearly quite old, yet her temper is still so explosive! Treating stealthy ninjas like heavily armored cavalry charging into battle is something I've never seen before.

Just as Wuyue was thinking this, the enemy troops had completely broken into their battle lines.

At that very moment, the Konoha ninjas, including Kurenai and Shizune, who had been lying in ambush in various places, suddenly launched an attack. A barrage of ninjutsu and ninja tools rained down on the Sand Ninjas as if they were free.

This scene was truly spectacular.

Various elemental ninjutsu enveloped all sorts of ninja tools and hidden weapons, making the entire sky seem like a colorful meteor shower falling towards the direction of the Sand Village.

Rumble.

Amidst a deafening explosion, clusters of colorful lights illuminated the Sand Ninja's camp. Severed limbs, flesh, and entrails, mixed with sand, gravel, and vegetation, scattered everywhere, instantly turning the entire area into a living hell.

"Aaaaaah! My arm! My eye!"

"It's broken! My leg, my leg is broken!"

"no, do not want!"

"Yangping, Hairen, pull yourselves together, don't die!"

The scene was filled with cries of agony and screams of agony. Under this indiscriminate, area-of-effect attack, their casualties were clearly extremely severe.

"Is this what real war is?"

"Blood, so much blood..."

This scene had a tremendous impact on Kurenai and Shizune; the intense visual sensations even caused them to lose their composure at that moment.

"Stop daydreaming, wait for me here obediently." Wuyue turned her head and whispered, "Don't fight the enemy head-on. Survival is the most important thing." As soon as she finished speaking, her figure suddenly disappeared.

After a concentrated barrage, the Sand Ninja's fighting force was reduced by at least a third. However, the real highlight was the close-quarters combat that followed.

The blue of Konoha and the brown of Sunagakure intertwined, and the roar of ninja tools and techniques colliding immediately resounded.

thump.

A muffled thud.

Mugetsu's footsteps felled 447 of the Sand Ninja's corpses.

Even in his dying moments, the Sand Ninja's face still bore the lingering ferocity and bloodlust of a man, his right hand inside his ninja tool pouch, seemingly plotting a swift and devastating blow. He probably never imagined he wouldn't even have the chance to draw his ninja tools.

Swish.

Two figures suddenly sprang out from the bushes behind Wuyue, each holding a kunai, and attacked Wuyue’s neck from the left and right.

bass.

Wuyue twisted her right hand, which was gripping the hilt of the sword, and pulled her body backward.

Swish.

A dazzling silver arc of light appeared in mid-air.

The two Sand Ninja who launched the sneak attack suddenly froze, a bloody gash running from their necks to their abdomens.

pat, pat.

The four body parts fell to the ground, and the bright red blood splattered on the lush green grass, looking particularly jarring.

Having done all this, Wuyue casually flicked the long sword in her hand and continued walking forward.

"Damn it! This is bad!"

"This is terrible."

"I was careless; I didn't expect there to be so many people on their side."

In a low-lying area overgrown with weeds, several young Konoha ninjas were surrounded by Sunagakure ninjas, and the situation was critical.

There's nothing strange about that.

Even after the previous round of bombardment, the number of Sand Ninja still far exceeded that of Konoha. While the sheer number of troops was not particularly effective against Konoha's high-level combatants, the young Konoha ninjas were finding it difficult to cope.

Just as the two sides were facing off, a boy dressed in white, carrying a long sword, slowly walked towards them. His leisurely manner was like a stroll after a meal, exuding an indescribable ease and comfort.

As the boy approached, the Konoha ninja saw the headband on his head and exclaimed in surprise, "He's one of ours!"

"I've seen him before; he's Lady Tsunade's disciple!"

"Are they here to rescue us?"

"Don't be silly, he's still a child. He probably can't even protect himself."

Upon hearing this last sentence, the Konoha ninja fell silent.

On this battlefield, they had witnessed far too many children like Mugetsu rushing to the front lines, only to lose their lives before they could even react. These children included not only those from Konoha but also those from Sunagakure. Their hands were stained with the blood of these children as well. This was the cruelty of war!

Unlike the sighs and helplessness of the Konoha ninja, the Sand ninja were all sneering.

"Hehe, there's a little brat here who doesn't know what's good for him."

"He's acting so relaxed, is he crazy?"

"Isn't that great? Another soul about to die at our hands has been added to our ranks."

"Is that so?" A flippant voice suddenly rang in the ear of the last Sand Ninja.

"Huh?" The Sand Ninja turned his head, looking at the boy in front of him with a shocked expression. "You, when did you..." He had just finished speaking when he felt a pain in his chest as a long sword pierced straight through his heart.

puff.

The Sand Ninja's corpse fell limply, kicking up a cloud of dust.

hiss.

Everyone gasped in shock. The boy was so fast that even they, as bystanders, only saw a flash of white light. Then, the Sand Ninja collapsed to the ground.

"Who, who are you?" The Sand Ninja finally realized that this was no lamb to the slaughter, but a tiger coming down from the mountain.

"Konoha Jonin, Yuhi Mugetsu." With that, Mugetsu raised his long sword and vanished once more.

A cold glint suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Thud, thud, thud—a series of muffled thuds echoed as all the Sand Ninja collapsed like harvested wheat. Mugetsu's voice rang out again. "When you go to the Underworld, don't forget to give this name."

Jonin? This child is actually a Jonin?

The people of Konoha were stunned, their faces showing incredulous astonishment. But seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground, they had no choice but to believe the reality unfolding before their eyes.

Mugetsu casually flicked his sword and sheathed it. Indeed, for him, taking down these Sand Ninja was a trivial matter. However, one question puzzled him, and he urgently needed to discuss it with someone. His gaze involuntarily turned to the side. "Have you seen Shikaku-senpai?"

The Konoha ninjas looked at each other in confusion, only one of them, a slightly chubby young man, said, "I... I saw Vice Commander Shikaku before, in the dense forest to the south."

"Thank you, please be careful." Wuyue nodded. In a flash, she disappeared.

"This...this sir is truly remarkable."

"Yes, that speed was so fast, it was like a flash of light."

"His swordsmanship is even more terrifying than his speed. These Sand Ninja were sliced ​​open like watermelons!"

"This is incredible! I'm certain he'll become a legend like the Three Ninjas soon."

Listening to his companions' discussion, the slightly chubby man who had spoken earlier shook his head. "Just wait and see... Perhaps, even the Three Legendary Sannin won't be his final destination."

……

……

The dense forest on the south side of the battle line.

Nara Shikaku carefully crouched in a clump of bushes, facing the several Sand Ninja in front of him.

Tapping.

As they drew closer, a black shadow suddenly emerged from beneath Nara Shikaku's feet, strangling them like a long rope and killing them instantly.

"That's strange." Nara Shikaku did not show any joy after killing the enemy in front of him; instead, he frowned.

"Don't you think these Sand Ninja seem a bit aimless?"

A voice suddenly rang out, making Nara Shikaku feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy. He looked around warily. Given his level of alertness, the fact that someone had managed to get so close was enough to prove the strength of the newcomer.

"Don't be nervous, Shikaku-senpai. It's me."

"Wuyue-kun?"

Seeing Mugetsu jump down from the side tree branch, Nara Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt somewhat frustrated.

He was actually sneaked up behind by a child; if it had been an enemy, he would have been dead just now.

But considering the child's unusual nature, Nara Shikaku felt it was somewhat justified. After all, in his eyes, the boy before him, both in his behavior and his abilities, could easily be described as—a monster!

"Shikaku-senpai, Shikaku-senpai..."

Mugetsu's voice brought Shikaku back to his senses. "What is it, Mugetsu-kun?"

"Were you just cursing me in your mind?" Wuyue asked suddenly.

"How could you..."

Nara Shikaku was about to blurt it out without thinking when he suddenly realized what he was doing and coughed twice. "Cough cough, how could that be! Does Muzuki-kun think I would do such a thing?"

"I feel like you've already revealed something," Wuyue said, her lips twitching.

“No, I don’t think what Mugetsu-kun did was perverted or abnormal; it was just a kind of truth.” Nara Shikaku nodded to himself, speaking in a serious tone. “That’s right, a man’s truth.”
