At the sight of Hebiki's signal in the sky, Rangetsu and Yoshi lifted their right hands, rallying their troops for a full charge.
Without hesitation, Troops B and C advanced along both flanks, striking the Sunagakure forces.
With deadly precision, Kirigakure's Troops B and C hurled kunais and shurikens at the Sunagakure forces.
Caught off guard by the unexpected ambush, the Sunagakure forces failed to react in time.
"PU, PU, PU, PU, PU."
The shurikens and kunai struck the Sunagakure shinobi with deadly precision—some fell instantly, while others were left grievously wounded.
Mei unleashed her Lava Style ninjutsu, mercilessly incinerating the Sunagakure shinobi before her, while Yagura followed up with a devastating Water Style jutsu.
"AAAAAHHHH."
"WOOOOOSH."
"BAAM.
Koko unleashed her genjutsu from the rear, her precision and skill surpassing that of a typical chunin, paralyzing countless Sunagakure shinobi.
The Kirigakure shinobi exploited the moment, launching kunais at the immobilized shinobi and killing them without mercy.
"PU, PU, PU, PU, PU."
Jun, cloaked in the Three-Tails' shroud, tore through the Sunagakure shinobi with ruthless precision.
"SPURT, SPURT, SPURT, SPURT, SPURT."
Jun tore through the Sunagakure shinobi with the claws of his three-tails cloak, cutting them in half as he surged forward like an unstoppable bull.
Sunagakure shinobi tried to ambush Jun from behind, but Vice-Captain Kaza Kaguya, accompanied by Zabuza, Mangetsu, Ameyuri, Oda, Taichi, and Jito, intercepted every strike.
"CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK."
"WOOSH, WOOSH."
Kaza activated his Dead Bone Pulse kekkei genkai as Ameyuri, Oda, and Taichi swung their swords with precision to strike down Sunagakure shinobi.
Water Style jutsu from Zabuza and Mangetsu surged around Jun, intercepting kunais and shurikens attacks launched by Sunagakure shinobi from all sides.
At that moment, Yukito, Shiro, Zangetsu, Hebiki, and Kira arrived on the battlefield, they smirked in satisfaction upon seeing their forces overpowering Sunagakure troop.
With a hand signal from Yukito, his comrades shunshined toward their troops.
______
With Yukina
Silver sword qi shimmered over Yukina and her katana, blinding all who looked.
The power of her silver sword qi amplified with every second, its edge becoming impossibly sharp.
With a flick of her blade, Yukina unleashed spiraling sword qi that formed a series of crescent moons slicing through the battlefield.
These radiant silver arcs cut through the battlefield, their velocity and impact eclipsing anything Yukina had unleashed before.
"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH."
"SPURT, SPURT, SPURT, SPURT."
The ANBU couldn't withstand Yukina's pure sword qi flying slashes; many ANBU were mutilated, some lost limbs, others their heads.
Despite the ferocity of Yukina's attack, the experienced ANBU managed to dodge her pure sword qi flying slashes.
Undiscouraged by the ANBU's evasions, Yukina's crazed smirk widened, and her eyes shone with unrelenting fighting spirit.
Enraged at the sight of his dead comrades, the Sunagakure ANBU captain charged toward Yukina, swiftly weaving hand seals.
"Wind Style: Wind Blades Jutsu."
After forming the hand seals, the ANBU captain swung his arms, unleashing a barrage of razor-sharp wind blades at Yukina.
"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH."
With a gleam of madness in her eyes, Yukina calmly triggered her Hyderfication Kekkei Genkai. Her form melted into water and splashed into the ground.
"BAAM, BAAM, BAAM, BAAM."
The ground trembled as the wind jutsu hit where Yukina was standing, slicing deep grooves into the earth.
Yukina's evasive maneuver with her Hyderfication Kekkei Genkai drew a malicious smirk from the ANBU captain, who wasted no time forming another string of hand seals.
"Lightning Style: Bright Wave Jutsu."
"BZBZBZBZBZBZ."
"AAAAAHHHH."
A blue lightning wave struck her watery form, causing Yukina to cry out in agony.
"WHOOSH."
Yukina's watery form rippled and reshaped itself, reforming her body.
As soon as Yukina's form solidified, blue lightning ignited across her body, leaving her paralyzed.
Seeing Yukina paralyzed by his lightning style jutsu, the ANBU captain couldn't hide his smirk.
Grabbing a kunai without hesitation, he surged toward Yukina, the weapon humming with wind chakra.
"It is time for you to die bitch."
Time seemed to slow down for Yukina as she watched the ANBU captain closing in to her with his wind coated kunais.
Everything seemed to move in slow motion for Yukina as the ANBU captain lunged toward her, wind swirling around his kunai.
'Damn it! I let my guard down… He used my own Hydrification Kekkei Genkai against me. Is this really how I'm going to die again? I am enjoying my new life alot—how can I accept this? And I still haven't even had any fun with men yet! This is so unfair!'
As the kunai neared her throat, Yukina unleashed a blinding explosion of blue chakra intertwined with silver sword qi, consuming everything around her like a fierce, ethereal blaze.
"SQUASH."
"AAAAAHHHH."
The blue-silver explosion of sword qi and chakra from Yukina sheared through the ANBU captain's arm like it was paper.
Blood exploded from his shoulder in a violent spray, washing over Yukina as he knelt in defeat.
Rising to her feet, Yukina's gaze fell upon the ANBU captain kneeling before her, his hand desperately gripping the bleeding stump of his arm.
She gave him a maniac smirk to him and said.
"You nearly had me... but my will to live is stronger than yours. It's over."
As her final words echoed in the air, Yukina's katana flashed in a silver arc, and the Sunagakure ANBU captain's head fell to the ground.
"THUD, THUD."
Every Sunagakure ANBU was paralyzed with fear, unable to move after watching Yukina decapitate their captain ruthlessly.
She gave them a crazed smirk that made their blood run cold—then, in an instant, she vanished, leaving only an afterimage behind.
"PU."
"SPURT."
In a blur, Yukina appeared behind the closest ANBU, her katana piercing his heart before he could even react.
She quickly pulled her katana back and murmured.
"Illusory steps."
Once again, Yukina vanished, her afterimage lingering in the air, before she materialized behind the closest ANBU.
She plunged her katana into the ANBU's heart once more, ending his life instantly.
Yukina continued executing this strategy killing Sunagakure ANBU one by one.
The Sunagakure ANBU froze in terror, until one of them suddenly let out a piercing yell.
"Everyone retreat."
As soon as the words reached their ears, the rest of the Sunagakure ANBU shook themselves awake from their fear and shunshin'd away in an instant.
"TSK."
Yukina pouted when she saw all the ANBU shunshined away and said.
"This isn't how you treat a beautiful lady like me. I was actually enjoying this battle."
She then sighed to herself and thought.
"Oh well, time to rejoin the others in the main battlefield. I just hope they're not a disappointment."
After making up her mind, Yukina took out a food pill from her pouch and swallowed it.
Yukina smiled as she felt her chakra replenishing, then shunshined away.
