In the smoke-filled border of the Land of Grass, the setting sun painted the sky blood red.
Shun gritted his teeth, his fingers digging deep into the tree trunk. "Damn it, it seems there are smart people in the Iwagakure army. And Kitsuchi, that bastard! Instead of being a good overall commander, he actually led an Iwagakure elite jonin squad to ambush the west side."
Explosions echoed in the distance, one after another, as the first line of defense had already collapsed.
Through the super vision of his Sharingan, Shun clearly saw Iwagakure ninjas gathering two hundred meters away.
Behind him, Tekka's trembling voice sounded. "Shun, what should we do?"
Shun turned around and saw the only five remaining members of his squad, three Chunin and two Special Jonin, all covered in wounds.
Plans couldn't keep up with changes. He hadn't expected Kitsuchi to lead an Iwagakure Elite Jonin squad to attack the weak point on the west side, causing the first line of defense to collapse.
Before the battle, Shun subconsciously activated the system, but unexpectedly a series of system messages popped up.
[Ding, Host observed a large number of ninjas using the B-rank Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone through his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, gaining 2672 experience points for this Ninjutsu.]
[Ding, congratulations to the Host, Ninjutsu replication successful, gaining B-rank Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone (Adept).]
[Ding, Host observed a large number of ninjas using the B-rank Ninjutsu: Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique through his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, gaining 1502 experience points for this Ninjutsu.]
[Ding, congratulations to the Host, Ninjutsu replication successful… Ding… Ding…]
As a large amount of information poured into his brain, Shun felt dizzy and overwhelmed. But knowing the new function of his system made him extremely excited.
With this, when the Sharingan replicates certain Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, the system will automatically record, analyze, and summarize them, thereby further improving his abilities.
In other words, at this moment, he had already learned Shadow Clone, Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique, Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, and many other powerful Ninjutsu.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and a series of roars sounded from ahead, where the Iwa ninjas were at.
"Shun?" Tekka called out again, his voice filled with confusion and fear.
Shun opened his eyes, and the Three-Tomoe in his pupils spun faster.
He ordered, "It seems the Iwagakure ninjas are about to launch a new round of attack. You take the wounded and retreat to the second line of defense, I'll cover your retreat."
"But Shun, there are at least twenty jonin on the other side…"
"Execute the order!" Shun shouted sharply.
The five subordinates dared not say more and quickly supported the wounded, retreating to the rear.
Shun took a deep breath, calmed his agitated mood, and quickly formed hand seals.
Divine Demon Transformation!
As he completed the last seal, a powerful Chakra surged within his body, transforming him into a bizarre two-headed, four-armed appearance.
The red-haired head on the right, as soon as it appeared, laughed. "Hehehe… This is not enough. Tonight I will kill to my heart's content. Shadow Clone Technique!"
Instantly, two puffs of smoke dissipated, and two two-headed, four-armed Shadow Clones appeared to his left and right. Then, these two Shadow Clones dispersed to the left and right, with intense killing intent on their four faces, charging towards the Iwagakure ninjas.
The left Shadow Clone attacked first, its hands quickly forming seals.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Instantly, a huge fireball erupted from its mouth, flying directly towards the Iwagakure ninjas.
At the same time, the other head unleashed another Ninjutsu.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
As a gust of strong wind roared past, the huge fireball, propelled by the wind, instantly became more intense, like a fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on the Iwagakure ninjas.
"Enemy attack… Enemy attack!"
The Iwagakure sentry only then realized something was wrong, and just as he was about to warn, it was too late. The warning was barely out before it was drowned in the roar of the flames.
Three Iwagakure ninjas who couldn't dodge in time instantly turned into fire people, their shrill screams piercing the sky.
Some quick-reacting Iwagakure ninjas quickly formed hand seals to save themselves.
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall.
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall.
...
Several earth walls rose in response, attempting to block the fire dragon's assault. However, the power of this wind and fire combination Ninjutsu was too great, and the earth walls were quickly breached under the impact of the fire dragon.
Just as the Iwagakure ninjas were busy dealing with the Shadow Clone on the left, the Shadow Clone on the right seized the opportunity to secretly launch an attack.
Its four arms began to form seals.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.
In an instant, a more ferocious flame and stronger wind than before roared up, forming a terrifying wind and fire purgatory.
Under the pincer attack of these left and right combination Ninjutsu, the Iwagakure ninjas were unable to resist, and 7 ninjas instantly fell, leaving only 15 Iwagakure ninjas still struggling.
Seeing the Shadow Clone's achievements, Shun secretly boasted, "Hehehe… As expected of my Shadow Clones. Why do I feel like I am becoming more and more abnormal?"
The unusual commotion in the position attracted the attention of Iwagakure's overall commander, Kitsuchi. His figure, like lightning, sped towards this side. Then, he saw two two-headed, four-armed monsters wantonly releasing combination Ninjutsu.
He cursed, "Damn Uchiha… Earth Release: Multiple Earth Style Wall!"
More than a dozen earth walls, each over a meter thick, temporarily blocked the raging fire dragon.
Shun narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Kitsuchi's movements.
"As expected of a powerhouse, his Chakra reserves are astonishing, but his attack methods seem a bit singular."
Earth Release: Fist Rock!
Kitsuchi again used the Body Flicker Technique, his figure instantly becoming like a ghost, approaching the Shadow Clone on the right.
With a loud "boom," the spot where the right Shadow Clone had just stood was now a huge crater, with dust flying and dravel scattered everywhere within it. However, this seemingly fierce blow did not hit its target.
It turned out that the Shadow Clone possessed the dynamic vision of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, which allowed him to instantly perceive Kitsuchi's attack intention and easily avoid this attack.
Seeing Kitsuchi's attack miss, the Shadow Clone did not give him a chance to breathe. He was in mid-air, his hands forming seals like lightning.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Instantly, a huge fireball erupted from his mouth, flying directly towards Kitsuchi.
Facing this sudden great fireball, Kitsuchi crouched down and slammed his hands on the ground.
Earth Release: Earth Spikes.
Instantly, dozens of sharp rock spikes sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after rain, stabbing directly at the enemy in mid-air.
Some rock spikes were broken by the great fireball, but more rock spikes continued to stab towards the Shadow Clone.
With a "bang," the Shadow Clone was unable to dodge and was instantly impaled by these sharp earth spikes, its body bursting open like a punctured balloon.
