Chapter 210: The Final Battle
"I knew you wouldn't be so honest. After all, the reputation of your Iwagakure ninjas can't even qualify for a waived deposit at the underground bounty stations," Sasuke said calmly, looking at the converging mud.
"That may be true, but what are you going to do now, little brother?" Kurotsuchi didn't mind Sasuke's words, instead looking with a grin at Sasuke below, who now only had enough ground to stand on. "Your speed is very fast, but in this environment, you can only be at the mercy of others, right?"
"Heh heh, Hokage, it seems my granddaughter has won this round," Onoki said cheerfully in the VIP room.
"That's hard to say, Lord Tsuchikage," Uchiha Douhuan said with a chuckle, looking at the unhurried Sasuke on the screen. With his understanding of his disciple, since Sasuke dared to jump into this trap knowing from the start that Kurotsuchi had ill intentions, he must have been prepared.
"Hmph, do two despicable people still need to be ranked?" A snorted coldly from the side. In this Chunin Exam, their Cloud Village ninjas were arguably the most disgraced among the major villages. Not to mention displaying their internal strife in front of the leaders of the ninja world's major powers, even in the clash of high-end combat power, their village's strongest of this generation, Omoi, was completely defeated by Uchiha Sasuke. What was even harder to accept was that Sasuke had defeated them in Lightning Release and swordsmanship, areas in which their Cloud Village prided itself.
At this moment, on the screen, Kurotsuchi had also fired a signal flare. The pre-ambushed Iwagakure squad emerged from the dense forest and began to cast a large-scale combination Earth Release ninjutsu, its target aimed squarely at Sasuke in the center of the field.
"Little brother Uchiha, bye-bye?" Kurotsuchi waved at Sasuke with a mischievous smile.
At this moment, Sasuke, whose feet were already stuck in the Lava Release cement, revealed a smile. Facing the roaring Earth Dragon Bullet, he twisted his body and threw the long sword in his hand behind him, then, with a poof, disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"What? A Shadow Clone?" After the massive Earth Dragon Bullet landed on empty ground, Kurotsuchi looked at what had just happened in disbelief. So, the one who had been fighting an intense, inseparable battle with the Cloud's genius genin was just a Shadow Clone?
Boom!
A colored signal flare exploded in the air. The real Sasuke appeared with Neji and Naruto, who had arrived from the other side. He caught the ninja sword thrown by his Shadow Clone just now. The hidden Konoha genin squads also revealed themselves, appearing behind Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji.
"As expected, you never intended to cooperate with us properly from the very beginning," Kurotsuchi said, taking a deep breath upon seeing this scene.
"Likewise," Sasuke replied.
"It seems we'll have to settle this with our skills," Kurotsuchi said, a layer of black rock covering her hands.
"All from Iwagakure, the Will of Stone is with us!"
At this time, Sasuke also drew his sword and pointed it at the enemy's formation, "The Will of Fire will never be extinguished!"
As their words fell, everyone in the arena let out a great roar and charged towards the enemy lines.
"Be careful! Something is moving underground!" Hinata shouted.
Just as Hinata's voice fell, the ground suddenly swelled with waves of earth. Kurotsuchi leaped high, her black rock fists smashing violently towards the ground.
Behind her, the Iwagakure ninjas simultaneously formed seals. Eighteen rock pillars burst from the earth, forming a ferocious wolf-head totem in the air.
"Earth Release: Rock Iron Wolf Fang Formation!"
"Spread out!" Beside Sasuke, lightning flashed explosively, the Chidori chirped, and viscous purple lightning coated the long sword in his hand. With a single slash, he split open the first wave of rock spikes.
"Neji! Hinata!" Among the Konoha members forced to scatter by the rock spikes emerging from the ground, Shikamaru shouted.
Neji and Hinata converged amidst the chaotic battle. Stepping in the pattern of the Eight Trigrams, they struck the rock walls with their fists and palms. Where their palms landed, the chakra infused by the Gentle Fist art created web-like cracks on the rock walls.
"Konosuke, prepare your Sarutobi clan's combination Fire Release! Gorō, get your Water Release ninjutsu ready too!" Shikamaru's voice sounded in everyone's ears via Ino's secret jutsu.
"Naruto, the most troublesome one is yours! Be careful not to get stuck in her Lava Release lime!"
"Got it!" A golden figure shot out from the formation, making a beeline for Kurotsuchi.
"Big Sister Kurotsuchi, your opponent is me!" On the surface of Naruto's rapidly moving body, sharp wind-natured chakra continuously cut at his body, but in return, he gained a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.
Kurotsuchi had just reacted when a fist like a sandbag was already before her eyes.
"So fast?" Kurotsuchi gritted her teeth and raised her arms to block. Black rock formed in front of Naruto's fist.
Boom!
The two were simultaneously pushed back by the impact of the collision. After Kurotsuchi regained her balance, she shook her somewhat numb arms. From that single blow, the refined rock attached to her arms had completely shattered.
However, Naruto's next wave of attacks had already arrived.
At this moment, the ground in front of Kurotsuchi suddenly turned into mud. From within the mud, a palm reached out, trying to grab Naruto's ankle directly. But when his hand got close to Naruto's body, the sharp wind-natured chakra directly left several fine cuts on his palm. And this was the result of the ambusher withdrawing his hand extremely quickly; if he had delayed for even a moment, his hand would likely have been finely minced by this wind-natured chakra.
"Ignore me! Go support the combination ninjutsu!" Kurotsuchi said to her comrade who wanted to support her, while forming seals to summon an earth wall in front of herself.
The temporarily raised earth wall didn't last long before being smashed to pieces by Naruto. Kurotsuchi looked at the yellow-haired boy before her, surrounded by raging wind-natured chakra, and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "How can there be someone in this ninja world who can develop a Wind Release nintaijutsu? What kind of monster is Senior Brother Deidara's little brother?!"
Both sides' combination ninjutsu were in the preparation stage, but it was clear that neither Iwagakure nor Konoha wanted to see the other's combination ninjutsu successfully released. The assault teams and the squads left to defend on both sides clashed beside their respective "artillery" ninjas.
"Third Gate: Gate of Life, open! Hidden Lotus!" Lee, emitting green steam from his entire body, took the lead and charged into the enemy lines. The Iwagakure defensive squad acted decisively, surrounding him, intending to teach this reckless fellow a lesson.
A giant rock burst from the earth, forming a cage that enveloped Lee. Trapped inside, Lee didn't think much and threw a punch at the wall in front of him.
No matter what predicament he faced, he had a pair of iron fists to break the situation.
However, before Lee's fist could land on the rock wall, the ground beneath his feet suddenly turned to mud. Without support, Lee instantly lost his balance.
And from the mud beneath his feet, killing intent surged. Several hands holding kunai reached out from around Lee, stabbing towards his vital points.
At this critical moment, a sky-blotting swarm of insects rushed towards the rock cage, gnawing a small opening in the rock wall that trapped Lee. From behind, a golden chain shot through the opening bitten by the insects, wrapped around the already injured Lee, and dragged him out of the encirclement.
"Don't be so reckless!" Karin couldn't help but complain as she controlled the Adamantine Sealing Chains to throw Lee to Sakura.
After catching Lee, a green light emanated from Sakura's palms as she began to heal Lee's injuries on the spot.
Such a conspicuous act naturally attracted Iwagakure's attention. After all, a medical ninja healing a teammate in the enemy's formation was truly a bit disrespectful. According to rumors, only the holy hands of the medical world, Princess Tsunade, had the strength to do so. Did this woman really think she was Tsunade?
An Iwagakure ninja roared and charged at Sakura, a kunai in his hand thrusting straight towards her back.
"So noisy!" Sakura turned around and slammed her fist into the ambusher's head, smashing it into the dirt. The attacker's summoning wristband triggered instantly, bursting into a pile of supplies.
Oh no, this woman really is a bit like the legendary Tsunade!
The remaining Iwagakure ninjas' hearts trembled. But at this very moment, Neji, brandishing his long staff, descended from the sky, filling the gap behind Sakura.
Sarutobi Konosuke and two other clan members were currently flying through complex hand seals with their hands. Beside him, a squad led by a genin named Yamagami Gorō was also preparing a Water Release combination ninjutsu.
At this time, two Iwagakure ninjas burst out from underground, intending to interrupt this process. However, just as they appeared, two black shadows wrapped around their bodies like maggots clinging to bone.
"Partial Multi-Size Technique!" Two giant hands descended from the sky, slapping from the left and right at the attackers who were controlled by the Shadow Paralysis Jutsu.
Seeing this, the other Iwagakure ninjas no longer hid and could only emerge from the ground, wanting to help their restrained teammates escape. However, as soon as they all appeared, numerous strange runes suddenly emerged beneath their feet. In no time, their chakra was completely out of their control.
"Miss Kurotsuchi! We can't hold on much longer!" At this point, the Iwagakure team guarding the members who were charging the combination ninjutsu, being beaten back steadily by Konoha's assault team, finally couldn't help but shout towards Kurotsuchi.
"Release it now!" Kurotsuchi was currently completely unable to lift her head under Naruto's successive waves of attacks.
"But, if we release it now, the power..."
"I said, release it now!" Kurotsuchi gritted her teeth and said after enduring Naruto's Naruto Barrage.
"Yes! Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!" The artillery group, having received the order, released the ninjutsu that was less than halfway charged. An earth dragon several meters high rose up and, facing the gathering place of the Konoha ninjas, opened its mouth to spew a massive chakra rock sphere.
"Konosuke!" Shikamaru, seeing this, turned to look at Sarutobi Konosuke beside him.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique."
The three Sarutobi clan members, with their chakra linked together, simultaneously opened their mouths, spewing out scorching flames. The flames billowed and converged, forming a massive fire dragon that roared towards the opponent's Earth Dragon Bullet.
