On the edge of the Rain Swamp Plain, a Konoha base guarded by numerous rock barriers and barriers was brightly lit and heavily guarded.
The air was filled with the strong smell of herbs and disinfectant, as well as a tense atmosphere. This was the base for Konoha's antidote.
In the darkness outside the base, like the shadow of melting rock, Chi Chen's figure emerged silently. Behind him was the elite team sent by Sand Village, led by the Chi Sand couple, and two Iwagakure senior ninjas as support.
The faces of the Sand Village ninjas showed suppressed hatred and desperate determination. Their mission was clear: to create chaos, attract firepower, and create opportunities for Chichen's fatal blow.
"Let's do it according to the plan." Chi Chen's voice was cold and concise through the chakra transmission.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the Sand Village team moved. Several hideous puppets rushed out of the darkness, raining down poison mist bombs, poison-infused Thousand Bones, and detonating tags on Konoha's outer checkpoints and patrols. A shrill alarm instantly ripped through the night sky!
"Enemy attack! Sand Village puppet troops!"
"Hold on! Protect the core area!"
The Konoha guards reacted quickly. The well-trained ninjas quickly formed hand seals, raised earth walls, used wind escape techniques to disperse the poisonous fog, and sparks flew as kunai shurikens and puppet claws collided. Fierce fighting instantly broke out outside the base.
Chaos is exactly what Chi Chen needs.
Like a ghost blending into the night, he used the chaos created by the Sand Village and his own Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu's silent levitation to easily pass through the outer defenses. His perception, like an invisible radar, precisely locked onto the center of the base—where the chakra fluctuations were most intense and the defenses were the most stringent, precisely where the core samples and key production facilities were stored.
"There." A faint blue light flashed in Chichen's eyes, and his body suddenly accelerated, ignoring the Konoha Chuunin who tried to intercept him. Several jonin who were trying to form hand seals and release ninjutsu saw their eyes flash before their eyes. A deep blue light wall (Dust Release: Round Barrier) instantly unfolded and disappeared. Their ninjutsu was silently annihilated the moment it touched the light wall, and even their hands holding the hand seals turned to ash. Their screams were drowned out by the even louder explosion.
Chi Chen's goal is clear - the antidote base.
In front of the heavy alloy door of the laboratory, two elite jonin of Konoha were facing a formidable enemy.
They recognized the silver-haired boy who was marked as extremely dangerous in the intelligence.
"Chen Guang Liuli! Stop him!" someone roared, quickly forming seals with his hands.
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
The blazing fire dragon roared out.
Another person threw out a kunai chain with a detonating tag: "Ninja Technique·Tool·Explosive Chain Lock!"
Faced with flames powerful enough to incinerate rocks and explosive chains sealing off space, Chi Chen remained expressionless, not even pausing. He simply clasped his hands together rapidly in front of his chest as he charged forward at high speed.
"Dust Release: Skyfall: Bee Sting!"
Buzz——!
Dozens of almost inaudible screams pierced through the air, and deep blue beams of light instantly penetrated the roaring fire dragon, directly disintegrating its core chakra structure, and the flames dissipated strangely in the air.
At the same time, more light beams accurately met the flying explosive chain locks and detonating tags.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…!
The steel chains shattered and vanished the instant the blue light touched them. The detonating tags disintegrated into primitive energy particles before they could even detonate. The pupils of the two elite jonin shrank sharply, and the chill of death enveloped them. They tried to dodge or defend, but the blue light was too fast and too tricky!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Several beams of blue light accurately pierced their vital points. The two men maintained expressions of utter horror, their bodies instantly disintegrating as if wiped by an invisible eraser, leaving not even a trace of blood.
Chi Chen did not stop, and lightly tapped the heavy alloy door with his right index finger.
"Dust Release: Bee Sting: Pierce."
A beam of intensely concentrated deep blue light shot out silently. A mirror-smooth circular hole, wide enough for one person to pass through, instantly appeared in the center of the indestructible alloy door. From within, glaring lights and terrified cries shone through.
Chi Chen flashed in.
The lab was in chaos. Researchers in white coats huddled in a corner in fear, their precious instruments, petri dishes, and the few core antidote samples, gleaming green and sealed in specially designed containers, exposed to Chi Chen's cold gaze.
"No! Stop him!" A Konoha medical ninja who seemed to be in charge had bloodshot eyes and rushed towards the sample cabinet desperately.
"It's over." Chi Chen's voice was like the sentence of the god of death. He didn't even look at the medical ninja, but just moved his mind slightly.
Buzz!
Several blue beams of light, smaller but faster than before, appeared out of thin air. Like precise scalpels, they instantly penetrated the precious sample containers and the core components of several key centrifugation and purification equipment nearby.
Boo! Boo! Boo!
The container shattered, and the emerald green liquid, the moment it hit the air, was completely decomposed and vaporized by the following Dust Release beam. Black smoke billowed from the delicate instrument, and its core components were reduced to dust.
The medical jonin who jumped into the air froze, looking at the hope that instantly vanished in despair.
Chi Chen swept his gaze across the entire laboratory, confirming the destruction was complete. He ignored the limp researchers and vanished through the hole he had entered through in a flash, leaving behind only a devastated mess and a dead, despairing silence.
The battle outside the base reached a fever pitch. The Sunagakure puppet army, commanded by the Akaguni couple, fought fearlessly, putting immense pressure on the Konoha defenders. But then a silver-white figure slashed through the battlefield like lightning, shredding the Sunagakure puppets like paper in its wake! It was Hatake Sakumo!
His eyes were cold, and wherever the blade flashed, a puppet or a Sand Ninja would fall. The Red Sand couple manipulated the strongest puppet to hold on, but they were also in danger.
"Chichen!" White Fang roared. He sensed the terrifying aura of annihilation emanating from the core of the base and knew that the most important things had been destroyed. His rage and murderous intent practically materialized. He abandoned the Sand Village and transformed into a bolt of lightning that ripped through the night sky, charging straight at Chichen, who had just emerged from the direction of the laboratory!
"Leave your life behind!" White Fang's dagger, with the will to cut everything off, pierced Chi Chen's back at a speed so fast that it surpassed the visual limit! This single blow condensed all his anger and chakra, vowing to cut this destroyer in two!
However, Chi Chen seemed to have eyes on his back. Just as the tip of the knife was about to touch his clothes, he didn't even turn his head, but simply waved his left hand backwards casually.
"Dust Release: Round Barrier: Instant!"
A dark blue spherical light shield instantly appeared and rotated at high speed!
Clang——!!!
A louder explosion than before
At the same time, several puppets controlled by Scorpion's father spewed out a thick purple poisonous mist, which instantly enveloped the space around White Fang! This poisonous mist was not only extremely toxic, but also greatly interfered with perception and vision.
White Fang's eyes glared, and he released a burst of lightning chakra, shaking off the entangled sand. He retreated quickly, holding his breath. Although he was not afraid of most poisons, the interference effect of this poison mist caused him to lose track of Chi Chen's position.
"Retreat!" Chi Chen's voice echoed in the ears of the Sand Village team. Their goal had been achieved, and there was no need to fight any longer.
Without hesitation, the Sand Ninja controlled the puppets to cover their retreat, quickly leaving the battlefield and disappearing into the darkness. Chi Chen took one last look at White Fang, who was barely visible in the poisonous fog, and then his figure flashed and disappeared as if blending into the night.
All that was left was the devastated Konoha base, the broken remains of the puppets, and the hole in the central laboratory that silently spoke of destruction.
