Chapter 117: White Blood Demon
Sunagakure's ninjas on the right flank had been completely suppressed. At that moment, those on the left flank finally broke through the forest fire barrier, creating a vacuum gap. Sasuke quickly mounted Shirotaka and flew to block the gap, preventing his own forces from being attacked from both sides.
Uchiha Setsuna, observing the battle from a distance, was greatly surprised. "What is Umino Sasuke going to do?" he hissed. "Why doesn't he escape while he still can? Does he think he can block two hundred men by himself? Does he think he's Hanzo of the Salamander?"
"He's overestimating his own abilities," added Yasaku, his subordinate, with disdain. "His tactical skill is good, but his personal strength is limited."
At that moment, Sunagakure's vanguard had practically entered the gap. Seeing that the time was opportune, Sasuke unleashed a small scroll. A cloud of white smoke rose, and from it appeared a giant Fūma Shuriken over two meters tall. Shirotaka, his "white dragon," cried out under the weight of hundreds of kilograms. When the descent height was only a few tens of meters, Sasuke seized the opportunity to throw the Fūma Shuriken.
"Shadow Shuriken Clone Technique!"
The super-giant Fūma Shuriken suddenly split into dozens of replicas that cut diagonally towards the opening. They traced unpredictable arcs, becoming a whirlwind of rotating steel that swept through the entire passage.
After using this ninjutsu, Sasuke's chakra was completely depleted. He quickly took out a handful of honey energy blocks and devoured them, activating his digestion technique to recover. In less than ten minutes, he was back at his peak state.
Meanwhile, on the ground, the Sunagakure commander of the left flank ordered a combined Earth Style defense. But just as they were about to execute the jutsu, Sasuke's shadow clone, waiting hidden, unleashed an infrasonic discharge, interrupting their hand seals.
"No! Dodge!" the commander shouted.
But it was too late. In the narrow pass, with fires on both sides and comrades ahead and behind, they had nowhere to go. They were forced to use their puppets to resist. The result was a massacre. The puppets, designed to stop kunai, were no match for two-meter blades. They were shattered, and the ninjas behind them suffered the same fate. The entire passage gap was emptied. Except for the commander and a dozen survivors who jumped into the flames, the rest suffered terrible casualties.
"Hiss!" Uchiha Setsuna couldn't help but take a deep breath, astonished by the amazing result.
"Elder Setsuna, it's that illusion again," Yasaku said, his Sharingan unable to perceive anything.
Meanwhile, Sasuke, after recovering, stopped attacking. He remained on Shirotaka's back, suspended high in the sky, dominating the entire battlefield. Below, his troops had completely broken through the encirclement. Sunagakure's ninjas from both flanks, finally seeing the true face of their tormentor, began to whisper a new name, a legend born of fear and blood.
"It's the White Blood Demon!"
'White Blood Demon?' Sasuke thought, frowning. The title was much worse than "Konoha's Iron Wall." It gave the impression of being a demon from hell.
He saw the fear in the enemy's eyes and began to guide his troops in a fighting retreat. The Sunagakure ninjas, intimidated by the "Demon" watching them from the sky, dared not pursue closely. His new name was a weapon in itself.
