The medical-nin began to help stop the bleeding. The green glow of the Mystical Palm Technique in his hands continuously transmitted chakra to the squad's captain.
After a long time, looking at this scene, this medical-nin was dazed, somewhat dumbfounded. He was so shocked he couldn't speak. "Th-this... the internal bleeding... it stopped?"
Instantly, it was as if he had witnessed the most incomprehensible thing in the world. The occurrence of all this completely surpassed his cognitive understanding as a medical ninja.
That's right. He had initially approached it with a "let's just try" attitude. After all, with shattered internal organs and severed meridians, how could it be so easy to stop internal bleeding? It should be known that the greatest danger of such injuries was the massive backflow of blood inside the body, forcing other organs to suffer from increased internal pressure, leading to an incurable state.
But now, the medical-ninja was completely shocked. As expected of Lord Kusuo. I didn't expect him to have such unique skills in healing ninjutsu as well.
On the other side, Kusuo no longer paid any attention to this. Using the breathing method to heal wounds was not the first time he had done it. And this was just an ordinary ninja who had not learned the breathing method. If it were Hinata, Hanabi, or Shion, they wouldn't even need his guidance. As long as it wasn't a fatal, mortal wound, they could basically stop the bleeding themselves.
And himself? Sorry. With a physique comparable to a Sage Body, his wounds could heal automatically. It was just that, up until now, no one had been able to injure him.
Kusuo's expression was calm. He pulled out the sword that had flown over earlier and leaped up. The squad members behind him were emotional, so excited they wanted to immediately follow him and charge.
SMACK!
A big slap landed on the blockhead who was running at the very front. When he turned his head, he found that the one who had slapped him was his severely injured captain.
"Captain! I...?" The person's aggrieved face was filled with confusion.
The captain, although he had just barely recovered from the brink of death, had used a great deal of his strength with that one palm strike just now. Now he couldn't stop coughing. "Cough, cough, cough... Since Lord Kusuo has already made his move, with your weak strength, what's the point of you all following and joining in the excitement? Isn't that just causing trouble? All of you, stay here honestly and watch. Not everyone has the luck to see Lord Kusuo draw his sword."
Hearing the captain's reverent tone, everyone's hearts were filled with surging passion, incredibly excited. The style and battle record of Lord Kusuo... they had only ever heard about them in rumors. Now, did they also have the honor of seeing him make a move?
In an instant, all eyes on their side were gathered on him.
On the trench, Kusuo stood with his sword. Opposite him was a dense mass of Hidden Stone Village ninja. A full dozen squads, combined into a large battalion.
One man against a hundred.
Such a disparate number was enough to make anyone feel a deep sense of despair. However, the situation at this moment was completely reversed. A large swath of Hidden Stone Village ninja were swallowing their saliva, looking at Kusuo's figure as if they were seeing a god. Even though he stood there motionless with his sword, the formless pressure forced cold sweat to stream down their faces.
"Captain, what... what do we do?" Akatsuchi, the captain of this chunin squad, had a round body and a round head. At this moment, faced with his teammate's question, cold sweat was also trickling down his somewhat honest-looking head.
What do we do? I'd like to know too.
His teacher, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, had already clearly instructed everyone under his command. Whenever they saw Kusuo on the battlefield, they could retreat on their own accord, and it would not be treated as desertion. This... was already giving him the utmost respect, enough to be compared with the White Fang, the Yellow Flash, and Uchiha Shisui of the past.
But... could they escape?
"Everyone, on alert! The moment the enemy makes a move, immediately use a combination ninjutsu!" Akatsuchi shouted in a low voice to those around him, his expression grave.
Kusuo's gaze was calm as he stared at them, slowly raising the sword in his hand.
CLANG!
The sound of a sword hummed. The silver blade reflected a dazzling light under the sun. His movements were gentle and peaceful, but in the eyes of those opposite him, it was as if the God of Death had swung his scythe.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back anymore. They frantically opened their mouth, a look of fear on their face. Seeing this, the others all attacked together. A hundred people formed hand seals at the same time and shouted in unison, "Earth Style! Earth-Shaking Core!"
RUMBLE!
An incredibly violent tremor came from the ground. Like an earthquake, the earth began to collapse. One layer after another of giant stones rose from the ground, rushing towards Kusuo.
"Not good! It's a combination ninjutsu!"
Below the trench, the Konoha ninja were all greatly alarmed. They had been defeated by this very move just now. The Earth-Shaking Core, used by a hundred people together... its range and the terrain it could change were far beyond that of a simple B-rank ninjutsu. It had already broken through the level of an ordinary A-rank ninjutsu, approaching S-rank.
What do we do? How will Lord Kusuo break this?
Not just them, but Akatsuchi, standing on the other side, was also nervously watching Kusuo. As long as their combination jutsu was effective, he would immediately summon his Golem Technique and smash him to pieces.
However, standing alone against this heaven-shaking, earth-shattering pillar of giant stones and the earthquake, Kusuo's face didn't change at all. He only made two movements.
Draw the sword, and swing.
Simple. Decisive. The movements were a single, fluid motion.
SWISH!
In an instant, a world-shaking sword light, under the horrified gazes of all, cut open the earth. The giant stones along the path crumbled, cut into fine powder. The ground was overturned, revealing the scorched earth beneath. That layer upon layer of the earth-shaking earthquake... when it met this terrifying sword... it completely collapsed. Instantly destroyed with devastating force. It couldn't even resist for a moment before it was completely gone.
The sword aura was brilliant, like frost, like lightning. With undiminished momentum, it continued to slash towards the other side.
Akatsuchi's round face was horrified. He cried out in alarm, "Everyone, emergency evasion! Retreat!" His roar echoed through his own team's ranks.
Instantly, the originally neat and uniform Hidden Stone Village ninja scattered like birds and beasts, in complete disarray. But how could their running speed possibly keep up with the horizontal sweep of the sword aura?
A red line appeared between heaven and earth. From the waist down, everyone was cut in two by one slash. Blood sprayed out from the same horizontal line, splashing the earth.
Akatsuchi used all his strength, summoning a thick and solid stone golem, to barely block the aftershock of this one slash.
Until the sword aura dissipated, and the heavens and the earth returned to peace, only then did Akatsuchi gasp for breath, leaning against the giant he had summoned in front of him with lingering fear.
He looked back. What met his eyes was a scene of utter desolation. The hundred-man chunin squad that had been so full of life just now... besides himself, all had died.
Slain by one slash.
The entire process... had not even taken a second.
"Gulp..."
Akatsuchi finally understood why old man Onoki had repeatedly instructed him before he left. The moment you encounter Kusuo, retreat immediately without a second thought. Because... if you didn't flee the first moment you saw him, it would be too late.
This level of slaughter... even the Yellow Flash of years ago, Minato Namikaze, could not compare.
At this scene, the Konoha ninja below the trench were also stunned. The captain's words still echoed in their ears. 'Not everyone has the luck to see Lord Kusuo draw his sword.'
That's right. It was indeed hard to have this luck. Because... any enemy who had seen Lord Kusuo draw his sword was basically already dead. There was no chance of living at all.
