Chi Chen was suspended in the night sky dozens of meters above the ground, perfectly hiding his figure in the darkness.
His perception was like an invisible spider web, covering the chaotic battlefield below.
The iconic chakra-driven sound of the Sand Village puppet army, the rapid shouts of the Konoha ninjas, the wails of the wounded, and... the two auras that were rapidly dimming and were locked tightly by an extremely sharp chakra!
"Found it..." Chi Chen's blue-gray pupils suddenly shrank, his sight penetrated the darkness, and locked onto a small hill on the edge of the battlefield that was blown beyond recognition by the remains of puppets and detonating talismans.
There, two Sunagakure jonin stood back to back, struggling to hold on.
The man, with his striking red hair, manipulated several strangely shaped puppets to resist the kunai and ninjutsu coming from all directions, while the woman quickly formed hand seals and continuously laid sand walls and poisonous fog traps.
It was the Akasagakure couple. Many Sunagakure ninjas had fallen around them. It was obvious that this elite team had encountered a devastating ambush.
And the figure that brought destruction was as fast as the White Fang of Konoha tearing through the night sky. Every time the short knife in his hand was swung, it brought with it a shrill sound of breaking through the air that was so sharp that it trembled the soul. Wherever the knife light reached, no matter whether it was the sturdy puppet joints or the hastily raised sand wall, they were all easily cut like thin paper.
Hatake Sakumo! Konoha White Fang, that pure killing intent and speed, made Chi Chen's nerves tense instantly. This was the first time since Chi Chen debuted that he felt that there was an enemy who could threaten him.
On the high ground, there is a fine line between life and death.
Chiyoko Akasana's son, the future father of Scorpion Akasana, controlled the last defensive puppet. The thick carapace was covered with knife marks so deep that the bone could be seen. Every time the puppet blocked White Fang's sharp knife, it groaned under the heavy burden.
His wife, Scorpion's mother, was pale and her chakra was greatly depleted. The sand coffin she released was easily broken free by White Fang, and the poisonous mist was also keenly avoided by the other party.
"Damn it, how could he not be afraid of our poison." Before the man finished speaking, White Fang's figure appeared like a ghost in the blind spot of his puppet's defense. The dagger, with the will to cut off everything, pierced his heart, and the cold breath of death instantly strangled his throat.
At this critical moment!
"Dust Release: Round Barrier!"
A low, cold shout seemed to ring in everyone's ears, and a spherical shield with a diameter of several meters, composed of countless fine hexagonal dark blue light walls, appeared in front of the Akasaga couple without warning.
Clang——!!!
A sharp, teeth-grinding sound of metal rubbing against metal exploded! White Fang's indestructible dagger fiercely slashed against the deep blue wall of light! The expected sensation of slicing flesh and blood did not appear, but instead a fading feeling of powerlessness.
He clearly saw that the tip of his blade, which was infused with lightning chakra and strong enough to cut through fine steel, disappeared the moment it came into contact with the deep blue light wall.
"Dust Escape!" White Fang drew his sword and retreated as fast as a phantom, looking vigilantly behind the shield.
The dark blue spherical shield slowly dissipated, revealing a figure floating behind it. Chi Chen landed lightly on the ground, standing in front of the dying Chi Sand couple. His silver-gray eyes calmly stared at the Konoha White Fang, who was famous in the ninja world. In the depths of his eyes, there was a chill colder than the rocks under his feet.
"Iwagakure…Chenguang Liuli…" White Fang's voice was low and hoarse, tinged with solemnity. He recognized the extremely dangerous target from the intelligence. The timing and manner of his appearance had exceeded his expectations.
"Hatake Sakumo, I've heard a lot about you." Chi Chen's voice was calm, as if he was stating a fact. "You can't kill these two people."
"Arrogant!" White Fang's eyes glared, his murderous intent piercing Chi Chen like a concrete cone of ice. His figure instantly vanished, leaving only a faint afterimage of lightning.
The next moment, he appeared on Chi Chen's left side. His short knife transformed into dozens of sharp blade lights that were difficult to discern with the naked eye, enveloping Chi Chen's entire body like a violent storm! Each blade was precisely aimed at the vital points, and the speed was so fast that it exceeded the limit of vision!
"Dust Release: Round Barrier: Instant!" Chi Chen clasped his hands together in front of his chest with incredible speed. A deep blue spherical shield instantly reappeared, spinning at high speed! Ding, ding, ding, ding... The dense, frantic sound of heavy rain hitting banana leaves echoed wildly! Each of White Fang's strikes slashed fiercely against the light wall, completely shattering the already battered blade.
"How is this possible?!" Even though White Fang was calm, his heart was in turmoil at this moment.
"Chichen," Xie's father struggled to his feet, his eyes gazing at the young figure standing in front of them, a complex expression incomparable. There was a sense of relief at having survived, yet also a sense of disbelief and shock. Would the "Dust Light Glaze" of Iwagakure actually venture into danger to save them? "Thank you... but be careful with his blade, it's too fast!"
Scorpion's mother also covered her injured arm, panting rapidly: "Be careful of his instant body technique and swordsmanship... Also, Konoha may have an antidote..."
Chi Chen tilted his head slightly, his eyes sweeping over the couple who had died young in the original novel but now survived because of his intervention, and an imperceptible ripple flashed across the depths of his eyes.
He thought of his parents, who had died fighting on the border, their names blurred. A fleeting, almost imperceptible warmth washed over him, quickly replaced by a deeper chill. He nodded, acknowledging the information. Although he already knew all of it, it was a token of his appreciation.
"It's time for you to retreat, Konoha White Fang. You should know that you can't deal with me." Chi Chen's voice was unquestionable, but his eyes were always fixed on White Fang.
Hatake Sakumo still wanted to struggle, but unfortunately Chichen would not give him time.
"Dust Release: Skyfall: Bee Sting!"
He maintained the circular shield seal with both hands, but his eyes suddenly locked onto the Konoha ninja beside White Fang! Driven by his thoughts, dozens of deep blue beams, the size of finger joints and extremely fast, instantly condensed and burst out from the void around him like a deadly swarm of living bees!
They did not fly in a straight line, but drew a strange arc and shot towards the Konoha ninjas. All the Konoha ninjas affected by them disappeared instantly.
"Asshole!!!" White Fang was completely furious! Chi Chen resisted his attack in front of him and killed his partner. This was an unprecedented shame for Konoha White Fang.
His lightning chakra surged, silver-white arcs crackling as he transformed into a blinding flash of lightning, carrying a devastating aura of total destruction. He formed hand seals, demonstrating his familiarity with Dust Release. If possible, he could only use a more powerful chakra ninjutsu to counterattack, offering a glimmer of hope.
This mission can be said to have ended here, after all, an elite force of Sand Village was destroyed by himself.
