"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
At that moment, three voices rang out simultaneously.
Within the ranks of the Reanimated Elite Shinobi, the three members from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist appeared on the battlefield, unleashing a combined Great Waterfall Technique!
Chakra surged wildly.
A massive waterfall seemed to descend from the void onto the battlefield, transforming into a colossal, tsunami-like wave that crashed into the fray.
The battlefield was instantly flooded with powerful currents, forcing everyone engaged in combat to leap into the air, dodging the raging water beneath their feet.
Some who were unable to dodge in time were swept away by the current, their fates unknown.
The entire process lasted about a minute before the Great Waterfall Technique, performed by the trio, finally ceased.
The Chakra signatures of the three Reanimated Elite Shinobi were noticeably weakened.
Even though Edo Tensei granted infinite Chakra, it still required time to recover.
However, this recovery period was brief; in the blink of an eye, the trio's energy returned to its peak.
The Great Waterfall they had unleashed had transformed the entire surrounding area into a lake!
Consequently, until the water receded, the Earth Release techniques of the Iwagakure Ninja would be severely restricted.
"Damn it! Who are they? To unleash such a wide-range Water Release!" The Iwagakure Ninja were starting to panic.
"Forget about them! Attack!" someone shouted. It wasn't going to be easy to retreat now.
Due to the deluge of the Great Waterfall, their formations had been completely scattered. Now, Ninja from both sides were intertwined on the water's surface, forced into one-on-one combat; retreating would surely come at a great cost.
Kitsuchi had no immediate solution, so he could only rely on his own formidable strength to try and salvage the situation.
Meanwhile, in the forest behind the Grass Ninja Village, another group of Iwagakure Ninja waited anxiously for the signal from the diversionary force.
But after waiting for a long time, they received no signal.
The leader, an Elite Jonin, frowned and said, "I fear something has happened to the diversionary force. Sensor Ninja, can you sense the situation over there?"
A Sensor Ninja closed his eyes and focused his Chakra to carefully investigate. Suddenly, he opened his eyes in horror and exclaimed, "The diversionary force is locked in a bitter struggle! It seems they were ambushed in advance! Also, just now, in my perception, an extremely powerful Chakra signature appeared near us!"
"Hmm? How powerful?" the Elite Jonin leader asked.
The Sensor Ninja said with a look of panic, "The strength of that Chakra signature is no less than that of our Tsuchikage!"
"What?!" the Elite Jonin was shocked.
Just then, in their line of sight, a young figure wearing a white divine robe walked slowly toward them.
Following at his side were two figures, a man and a woman.
A powerful aura of Chakra radiated from him.
"Who are you!?" Everyone present was shaken, and the leader shouted.
The person who arrived was naturally Uchiha Sora, and he had only brought Yūgao Uzuki and Zabuza with him.
As for the other Reanimated Elite Shinobi, he had sent them to defend other areas; having him alone was enough for this surprise attack unit.
Although Zabuza and Yūgao Uzuki had followed, Uchiha Sora only intended for them to provide support.
Hearing the question from the Iwagakure leader, Uchiha Sora spoke unhurriedly: "You send people to attack my territory, and you ask who I am? Did the Third Tsuchikage not brief you on my intelligence?"
"It's you! Uchiha Sora, who conquered the Grass Ninja Village!" The leader finally recognized him and said with a grave tone: "You certainly have an imposing presence, sir!"
Uchiha Sora smiled faintly: "Are you prepared to die?"
"Hmph! You're speaking quite arrogantly, aren't you?" The leader let out a cold snort and retorted.
He had three or four hundred people with him, including at least thirty Jonin. The rest were at least Chunin, mostly Elite Chunin, and many were veterans who had participated in the Third Great Ninja War, possessing extensive experience.
"Well, it seems your Iwagakure village doesn't know enough about me." Uchiha Sora sighed slightly: "I didn't want to kill so many people, but unfortunately, you insisted on delivering yourselves to me. Since that's the case, I will accept your lives!"
"Heh! What a boast!" The Iwagakure leader laughed in rage and waved his hand, ordering everyone to charge at Uchiha Sora.
"You two, fall back!" Uchiha Sora said to Zabuza and Yūgao Uzuki.
Zabuza nodded and retreated quite decisively.
Yūgao Uzuki wanted to step forward to help, but Zabuza quickly reminded her: "I advise you not to cause trouble for the Leader! The Leader's strength is beyond your imagination! Just watch from the side!"
Yūgao Uzuki was not a naive woman who understood nothing. Although she wanted to help Uchiha Sora, in the current situation, rushing in would indeed be suicidal.
"Alright, I really can't understand why he didn't bring more people. This is a large force from Iwagakure!" she said with some concern: "Even if Sora's strength is very high, doing this alone is too much of a stretch, right?"
Zabuza just chuckled and said nothing more, watching the young, handsome back in front of him with anticipation.
At this moment, facing the wave-like offensive of the Iwagakure forces, Uchiha Sora instantly activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, drew the longsword at his waist, and charged directly into the crowd!
With a wave of his longsword, a surge of Wind Release Chakra extended from the blade. He slashed forward, and a violent gale arose!
The Iwagakure Ninja in his path were instantly sent flying by this strike!
Immediately following, his figure flashed, using the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of an Iwagakure Ninja, kicking him away.
He thrust his longsword backward, striking someone who was preparing to sneak attack from behind.
Uchiha Sora utilized the observational power of his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to the extreme. In the crowd, one could only see his figure constantly flashing, and Iwagakure Ninja collapsing at the slightest touch.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
For a time, within three feet of Uchiha Sora, there was no enemy who could withstand a single blow!
Suddenly, the leader charged at Uchiha Sora. Under the cover of his teammates, he performed a Ninjutsu, transforming one of his arms into a massive Rock Fist, and smashed it toward Uchiha Sora's position!
Uchiha Sora met the Rock Fist with a backhand, a bright blue sphere of Chakra appearing in his palm.
Rasengan!
Boom!
The Rock Fist and the Rasengan collided fiercely, producing a violent explosion.
Rock and earth flew everywhere as Uchiha Sora used the force to retreat.
He formed hand seals with both hands, aiming at the Ninja in front of him.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
Chakra surged wildly, and three massive fire dragons flew toward the crowd in three different directions!
Seeing this, the leader's pupils constricted, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly, use Earth Style: Earth Flow Barrier!"
After saying this, he slammed his palms onto the ground, forming seals.
An earth wall rose with a roar! Blocking one of the fire dragons...
