"Again?"
Since there was no battlefield behind Sakumo, he wasn't worried about the Tailed Beast Ball harming the Konoha Ninjas.
With a flash, he dodged it. Only a fool would keep chopping at the Tailed Beast Ball.
This isn't a joking matter.
Boom!!
The Tailed Beast Ball exploded violently where Sakumo had disappeared. All the ninjas on the battlefield were startled by it.
The huge explosion shockwave swept over, and the surrounding trees suffered greatly again.
"Another Tailed Beast Ball. Is Lord Sakumo okay?"
A Konoha Ninja asked the female radar user beside him after taking down a Sand ninja nearby.
"Yes, Lord Sakumo dodged it."
The female radar user's eyes were really sharp. Even his silver hair looked good as he moved.
It was a pity that he already had a child. This was a female radar user.
"What are you thinking about? Being a love - struck fool?"
The Konoha Ninja noticed something amiss and patted the girl's head.
"I... I just admire him."
"Just stay alive."
The Konoha Ninja rolled his eyes. Young girls just liked to daydream.
I also think Lord Tsunade is good - looking, but have you ever seen me acting like a love - struck fool?
The two of them charged at the nearby Sand ninjas again. Those beautiful things seemed particularly ridiculous on the battlefield.
Dai had already taken down another shadow guard. Now, Pakura was planning a one - for - one exchange.
When Dai approached, she would rush forward regardless of her own safety.
Even if she died, she would take Dai down with her. She was extremely confident in the power of her Scorch Release[b]Scorch Release[/b].
However, Dai didn't want to make such a losing deal. He had a wife and child waiting for him at home.
What would people think if he died here with a young girl?
But at this moment, he was also very frustrated. How could he have run into such a fearless person?
He could only rely on his speed advantage, constantly getting past Pakura to find a chance to take down the shadow guards.
He planned to wear Pakura down slowly after she was the only one left. Dai was more confident in his stamina.
That was the confidence brought by decades of daily training. In terms of strength, he might be weaker than others.
But in terms of stamina, if he claimed to be the second - best, no one in Konoha would dare claim to be the first.
"Are you a man?"
Pakura was getting impatient. Seeing that Dai almost kicked another shadow guard, she posed a soul - searching question to Dai.
"I have a son already."
Dai appeared in the distance, scratching his head stupidly with a bright smile.
...
Pakura was speechless for a moment. What kind of person is this!
"Scorch Release, Over - Steaming Kill[b]Scorch Release, Over - Steaming Kill[/b]."
She really was a one - trick pony among ninjas. This move, Scorch Release, Over - Steaming Kill[b]Scorch Release, Over - Steaming Kill[/b], was terrifying to most ninjas.
But now, she was helpless against Dai and could only waste her own chakra in vain.
"Why are you doing this?"
Dai dodged as usual. Looking at the fireballs swirling around Pakura, he was a bit speechless.
What an unreasonable Kekkei Genkai[b]Kekkei Genkai[/b]. Unless he opened the Seven Gates[b]Seven Gates[/b] and launched a long - distance attack, he really didn't have a good plan for now.
But thinking about having to stay in bed after opening the Seven Gates[b]Seven Gates[/b], he didn't want to give it a try.
On the other side, Sakumo was also getting into the groove. While dodging, he would always appear in places where Shukaku least expected.
He would slash here or slash there.
The Flying Thunder God[b]Flying Thunder God[/b] technique was unpredictable, making it impossible to effectively limit Sakumo's range of movement. Shukaku was at a complete loss.
He felt like a sitting duck. Although his injuries weren't life - threatening, he was extremely humiliated.
When had he, Shukaku, ever suffered such humiliation? It would be better if you could just kill me!
"Swordsmanship, Thunder Dragon[b]Thunder Dragon[/b]."
Sakumo remained calm, which was the basic quality of an excellent assassin.
As Shukaku became more and more irritable, his flaws became more and more obvious.
Relying on the astonishing speed brought by the Four Gates, Sakumo used his short blade as the head and transformed his whole body into a green Chakra Thunder Dragon[b]Thunder Dragon[/b].
His target was Shukaku's tail. He wanted to test if he could penetrate the defense of Shukaku's tail and hit his weak point.
"You despicable Konoha Ninjas."
"I won't make such a mistake again."
Shukaku suddenly spat out a large amount of sand from his mouth. In an instant, a barrier was erected in front of him.
There was also a head with his own face on top of the wall.
The Shield of Shukaku[b]Shield of Shukaku[/b]!
Sakumo's move was doomed to fail as soon as Shukaku turned around.
Bang!!
The green Thunder Dragon[b]Thunder Dragon[/b] slammed into the Shield of Shukaku[b]Shield of Shukaku[/b], making a shrill crashing sound.
Sand and dust flew everywhere. Sakumo's short blade pierced more than half of the wall and was firmly stuck, unable to go any further.
"Haha, just wait to die."
Shukaku laughed maniacally. The sand spread along the short blade towards Sakumo.
After trying twice to pull out the blade without success, Sakumo decisively gave up the short blade.
A sword, like money, is just an external thing.
His ancestral sword was broken. How could he care about this one?
As soon as Sakumo let go, he disappeared from the spot. Shukaku's eyes froze.
It was that technique again.
Suddenly sensing the Chakra fluctuation on his shoulder, Shukaku didn't even think and slapped at it.
Sakumo had used the Flying Thunder God[b]Flying Thunder God[/b] to reach his shoulder.
"Aren't you annoying?"
Shukaku's slap missed. He had to admit that he really had no way to deal with Sakumo.
Watching the sand absorb the short blade, a pained expression appeared on Sakumo's face.
This expression was exactly the same as when Kawaki's sword was destroyed by ōnoki.
No wonder they're like brothers!
Without his blade, Sakumo had little interest in attacking Shukaku.
After all, his main strength lay in swordsmanship, and most of his power was in his sword.
Now, fighting bare - handed, he could deal with ordinary Ninjas, but it was too difficult to face Shukaku.
The battle with Shukaku had also changed. Sakumo kept dodging and had no intention of attacking anymore.
Shukaku soon noticed this and was overjoyed. He thought he could wear this little guy down.
Just when Shukaku thought the situation was improving, a red Smoke Bomb[b]Smoke Bomb[/b] exploded over the distant forest.
The color was eye - catching and the explosion lasted for a long time.
Pakura's face changed instantly.
This was the report from the spies in the front that the Konoha team attacking the Iwagakure Ninjas was coming back.
Imagining the scene after Kawaki and Tsunade arrived, Pakura immediately decided to retreat.
If they dragged it out until they came back, all the Sand ninjas would die here.
"Master Bunpuku, get ready to retreat."
Pakura didn't try to hide it. At this point, hiding was meaningless.
She led the shadow guards in the direction of Shukaku.
Shukaku glared hatefully at Sakumo a few times and then ran towards Pakura.
It's no longer suitable to keep fighting. Bunpuku knew this well.
No matter how resentful Shukaku was, he didn't want to face Tsunade and Kawaki again.
He'd really end up dead if he faced them again!!
"Want to run?"
Sakumo guessed the intention of that Smoke Bomb[b]Smoke Bomb[/b] immediately.
As long as they could be held off, the Sand ninjas would be doomed.
"Dai, stop them."
Sakumo leaped onto Shukaku's shoulder and kicked him in the face.
A small cloud of sand splashed up as Shukaku impatiently swatted Sakumo away.
He reached out and grabbed Pakura and the shadow guards.
He slapped his belly hard, sending out Air Manipulation Bullet[b]Air Manipulation Bullet[/b] towards the edge of the battlefield, breaking the stalemate between the two sides of the ninjas.
The Iwagakure Ninjas began to fight and retreat. Another Shield of Shukaku[b]Shield of Shukaku[/b] blocked Dai's attack.
Shukaku crouched down on his legs and jumped.
He quickly fled in the direction of the Land of Wind.
Sunagakure's sudden attack ended anticlimactically, leaving countless ninja corpses on the battlefield.
