Kushina, true to her Uzumaki heritage, could still suppress the Tailed Beast's wild nature even in her rampant state, fighting as a pure Ninja.
However, the Zanpakuto piercing her heart proved with cold, cruel fact that relying solely on her identity as a human Ninja, Kushina could not stand safely before Sora.
"Cough cough cough…"
Violent, bloody coughs. Even for the Uzumaki Clan with their vigorous vitality, the damage from a pierced heart was far too great.
"Not good!"
"Kushina-sama is injured!"
"Damn Kirigakure, even Kushina-sama is no match for him!??"
The Konoha's Ninjas watching this scene all showed expressions of terror and horror. Who could have imagined that Kushina, a human-shaped nuclear weapon, would be no match for a sixteen-year-old boy!!!
At this moment, some retreated, faces pale with fear, while others attacked recklessly out of anger.
Bang, bang, bang!
Over a dozen smoke bombs exploded, suddenly enveloping Sora's surroundings in thick gray smoke.
Boom!
Boom!
Amidst the explosions, even more startling roars sounded.
"He's here!"
Akimichi Choza, after triple-sized expansion, turned into a spinning meat tank, crashing through the smoke, bearing down on Sora.
Simultaneously, an Elite Jonin from the Nara Clan instantly formed hand seals, and his shadow stretched out bizarrely, seizing the gap in the smoke to firmly grasp Sora's shadow.
"Secret Technique: Shadow Imitation Technique!!!"
The next instant, a strange force twisted Sora's body, locking him in place like a log.
"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"
The Hyuga Clan's Jonin launched two air cannons before instantly flickering towards the center of the battlefield. His Byakugan was fierce, having seen the terror on Sora's body, yet he still charged forward fearlessly.
In an instant,
Shadow Imitation Technique…
Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm…
Human Bullet Tank…
And the sky-blotting shower of shuriken!
The Konoha's Ninja Team displayed top-tier combat quality, assisting the moment the battle situation changed drastically.
With exquisite teamwork, they instantly locked Sora in place.
'We've won!!!'
In that fleeting moment, a trace of excitement also appeared on Kushina's pale face.
Gritting her teeth, she grabbed Sora's arm, the deep red Chakra on her body surging out desperately once again.
Don't forget.
During Naruto and Sasuke's first Valley of the End battle, the hole pierced through Naruto's chest was instantly healed by the Nine-Tails' Chakra, and that was while Naruto was unconscious.
The current Kushina, however, could forcibly extract and use the Nine-Tails' Chakra through Sealing Techniques. So even with a pierced heart, she could make the wound heal instantly, re-entering a rampant combat state.
"I will tear you apart!!!"
Kushina raged furiously. Because of the Nine-Tails' Chakra, the carvings on her face had vanished, but that insult could never be forgotten.
"And!"
"Don't even think about escaping!!!!"
Hum hum hum!
Kushina roared.
Rising along with it was that layer of deep red Tailed Beast Cloak, and the four tails grabbing towards Sora's arms!!!
In an instant, Ninjutsu, secret techniques, and the Nine-Tails' grasp all roared forth.
And Sora's expression finally turned serious. The Reiatsu within his body detonated with the force of a crushing landslide.
The burst of that terrifying energy actually formed a powerful shockwave, sweeping out in all directions.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Tailed Beast-transformed Kushina was directly blown away.
The Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Technique was also directly broken. The black shadow that had almost crept up to his neck vanished into thin smoke in an instant.
The Hyuga Clan's Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm was like a bird caught in a tornado, disappearing in the blink of an eye without a trace.
Devastating.
This was a full-power outburst. Sora detonated his own Rank 5 Reiatsu like a supernova.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A storm arose, the shockwaves astounding.
In that instant, the force of Sora's Reiatsu Explosion crushed the Konoha's Ninjas' combined attacks with overwhelming force, sweeping everything away completely.
Then, that rampant Reiatsu Explosion landed first and foremost on the spinning Human Bullet Tank.
The long-range fighters were somewhat better off, but Choza, with his close-quarters attack mode, had enlarged his body to the size of a small mountain to crush forward, only to be sent flying backwards by Sora's Reiatsu Explosion.
Boom!
Boom!
Mountain rocks shattered.
Choza crashed into a small hill, lying disheveled in the rubble. His armor was shattered, his chest and arms a bloody mess.
"This…"
"What kind of monster is this!????"
Choza groaned in pain, his expression contorted. His gaze was even more horrified, as if he felt that his opponent had just sent him, going all out, flying with a simple Chakra Burst.
Even the Third Hokage in his prime might not have such terrifying power!
The shockwave swept through, forcing back many Konoha's Ninjas. They flipped and jumped in mid-air, dispersing the terrifying force generated by the Reiatsu Explosion.
"Is this even human?"
"Even Tailed Beasts aren't this powerful!"
"He broke the Shadow Imitation Technique directly? I've lived long enough to see it!"
"Damn it, is this some kind of a sick joke?!"
"Gods, when did the Yuki Clan's Ice Release become this strong!!!"
Those Konoha's Ninjas who were sent flying all had their pupils constricted, staring dumbfounded at Sora's figure. Their expressions were incredibly complex: stupefaction, horror, shock, and most of all, an inescapable fear!!!
Fear emanating from their very souls!
"Sizzle!"
"Sizzle!"
Flesh was healing.
But the re-transformed Kushina's expression also froze solid. She stared at the young man before her with disbelief.
That instantaneous energy burst, in her Mind's Eye of the Kagura perception, even gave her a terrifying feeling comparable to the Nine-Tails.
'The Nine-Tails?'
'The Chakra inside him is on the Nine-Tails' level!!!'
'This is simply unbelievable!!!'
'Extreme speed!'
'Seal-less!'
'An endless stream of secret techniques!'
'Plus Chakra that seems to reach the Nine-Tails' level... What an exaggerated monster has Kirigakure produced!!!'
At this moment, just as Kushina was horrified and somewhat dazed, she was shocked to discover that the young man's figure had somehow vanished from before her.
"Where did he go!??"
Kushina panicked.
The next moment, she heard the screams of Konoha's Ninjas coming from behind her.
"Arghhh…"
"No!"
Amidst the mournful cries, that physically fragile Nara Clan's Jonin was struck by Sora's blade, half his body sliding down like a mirror surface.
Instant kill!
The Zanpakuto in Sora's hand finally fell upon the surrounding Konoha's Jonins.
"Konoha's Jinchuriki…"
Sora glanced back with a smile, his voice cold and cruel: "If your speed cannot improve further, you can only watch your comrades die one by one at my hands."
Before the words faded, his figure vanished again.
Hum!
With a flash of light and shadow, the Hyuga Clan's Jonin's eyes suddenly saw a bizarre scene: his world was spinning, ground above, sky below, turned into a strangely inverted appearance.
With Shunpo, Sora was like a god of death descending. Every time he appeared, he would reap the life of a Konoha shinobi. Whether Chunin, Jonin, or Elite Jonin, once caught, it was a single slash leading to instant death.
Don't forget.
Even the four-tailed Kushina couldn't withstand Sora's Expert Level Zanjutsu. How could mere Konoha's Jonin possibly resist?
"No!"
"I'll kill you!"
"Kill you!"
The roaring Kushina chased madly, but even with her speed drastically increased after Tailed Beast Transformation, she still couldn't touch the hem of Sora's clothes.
She could only watch helplessly as her comrades died one by one at the hands of that monstrous man.
Squelch!
Squelch!
The Ninjas' bodies were cut open like tomatoes, red blood splattering out.
In the blink of an eye, seven people were slain by Sora, instantly killed without any ability to fight back.
The Konoha's Ninjas were horrified. They finally experienced the fear their comrades had felt before, that despair of being slaughtered like livestock.
Now,
No one dared to engage Sora anymore. Everyone was retreating, fleeing madly.
Kushina was still roaring, beside herself with rage.
She tried to chase but couldn't catch up!
And the price of not catching up was the brutal deaths of Konoha's Ninjas one after another.
More and more of her comrades died!
Finally, a Konoha's elite squad of over forty people had been forcibly reduced by more than half.
On the ruined earth, crimson and mangled corpses were everywhere. Flesh, blood, and white bones paved the ground, a scene truly resembling hell.
This was cruel for the Konoha's Ninjas, but in Meigetsu's eyes, it held an indescribable awe.
'This…'
'Is this Sora's full power!??'
Hozuki Meigetsu's beautiful eyes flickered with a strange light: 'No wonder Sora made those arrangements when we left the town. If it's him…'
'He might actually succeed!!!'
At the same time, Kushina finally went completely rampant. She understood that if she didn't stop Sora now, her team would be wiped out!!!
