Chapter 121: Reorganizing the Troops
The Sunagakure puppet user used his Windmill to attack, trying to disperse the descending syrup. But he discovered that his puppet was trapped by the special technique. Arashi and the other four, however, reacted quickly and used their Body Flicker Technique to avoid the syrup.
Swish, swish, swish!
Sasuke led Fūjin, Raijin, Yeshan, Hyōzō, and other elites to pursue them closely.
With an ambush in front and pursuers behind, Arashi and the other four could only run desperately.
"My lord, retreat first," one of the Sunagakure jonin said, taking the initiative with his comrade to cover the rear. Arashi and Ruriyu, without hypocrisy, left them behind and evacuated directly. Sasuke's shadow clones tried to intercept the couple, but Arashi, even with only one arm, retained great combat power and used explosive traps to cover their escape.
Sasuke, seeing this, gave up pursuing them and focused on besieging the two jonin who had stayed behind. The Wind Style user was powerful, but under the clones' infrasound, he couldn't use ninjutsu and was quickly turned into mincemeat by Fūjin and Raijin. The other puppet jonin was also in danger under the siege of Yeshan and Hyōzō; a Sasuke clone used syrup to immobilize his puppet, creating an opening for Yeshan's Void Sword, which ended the battle.
Just after clearing the battlefield, the giant desert hawk, which had been under siege by Sasuke's troops, flapped its half-broken wings and fled. As a high-level beast, it was very powerful, but having lost the ability to fly in balance, it had transformed into a terrestrial beast.
"Big bird, I want to eat big bird!" Fūjin shouted.
He and Raijin left their energy blocks, picked up their iron staffs, and lunged at the hawk. The battle that followed was brutal, and finally, Sasuke used a sealing scroll to trap the beast in a net of chains and iron balls, allowing the brothers to kill it.
"Fūjin, Raijin, stop!" Sasuke shouted, preventing them from destroying the body. He ordered his subordinates to collect the precious blood and bone marrow of the summoning beast. During the process, they found Arashi's severed arm. Sasuke recognized its value and preserved it in a bottle of nutrient solution.
After escaping for most of the day, seeing that many genin could no longer resist, Sasuke halted the march to rest and reorganize the troops. He divided the entire army into four battalions for greater effectiveness.
