Senju Hashirama: "Although I don't want to make sarcastic remarks, looking at the combat power displayed by the Sunagakure ninja, even if they manage to take care of those Honkai Beasts, I'm afraid there won't be many of them left."
Senju Tobirama: "If you know it's inappropriate, then don't say such things on this kind of occasion and at this kind of time, you idiot brother!"
Senju Hashirama: "Ahahaha~ It hasn't happened yet, so it doesn't matter. We just need to find a way to avoid such a future, right!"
Uchiha Madara: "This idiot!"
Looking at the bullet chat on the Sky Screen, Rasa smiled bitterly.
"If it were really that easy to avoid, that would be great."
"However, I need to figure out a way to build a shelter within the Hidden Sand Village that can protect the villagers' safety even in the event of a Honkai Beast invasion."
Thus, Rasa turned his gaze toward the yellow sand beneath his feet.
Perhaps, I could dig out a massive shelter hundreds of meters deep...
As long as they hid deep enough, it would be safe enough!
As for how to carve out such a large-scale shelter at that depth...
They were ninja, after all. As long as they kept their wits about them, there were always more solutions than difficulties!
[When Temari arrived on the city wall, what she saw were the Sunagakure ninja, their numbers already halved, wearing exhausted expressions.
Looking at their feet, she realized that the wall was already littered with corpses.
Some had simply had their chests pierced by Honkai Beasts, while others had died suddenly because Honkai Energy had eroded their brains.
But right now, she had no time to observe how the Sunagakure ninja had died.
The important thing now was to stop those Honkai Beasts from continuing their slaughter!
"Wind Release!"
Temari began to weave hand seals, but just as she tried to mobilize her chakra, she found that the remaining chakra in her body could only support her in using one more ninjutsu.
After using this ninjutsu, her chakra reserves would bottom out, and if she wanted to continue fighting then, she would be forced into close-quarters combat.
But engaging in close-quarters combat with these Honkai Beasts was basically no different from courting death!
However, she truly didn't have much chakra left!
No, I still have a way!
The First Hokage once said that Honkai Energy is an amplifier, while chakra is a small piece of kindling, or even a match, a fuse.
In theory, only a sliver of chakra is needed for guidance to utilize Honkai Energy and release a ninjutsu—and theoretically, the most powerful ninjutsu at that!
Looking at the Sunagakure ninja on the wall pushed to the brink of despair by no more than ten or so Templar-class Honkai Beasts, as well as the Knight-class Honkai Beasts below that were about to scale the wall, Temari knew there was no time left for her to hesitate.
Senju Hashirama had once said, "You just need to weave the signs and use a sliver of chakra to guide it; you can leave the rest to the Honkai Energy!"
And Temari did exactly that: "Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
Pfft pfft pfft~
A continuous stream of wind bullets shot from her mouth like a machine gun.
A crackling sound rang out, truly resembling the noise of a machine gun firing against iron plating.
Before one Templar-class Honkai Beast could even react, it was ambushed from the side by Temari. The armor on its flank instantly became tattered and torn, leaving almost no intact spot!
As the Vacuum Serial Waves continued their relentless assault, a wind bullet finally struck its core amidst the dense barrage, thoroughly killing this Templar-class Honkai Beast.
"This is... Lady Temari!"
The Sunagakure ninja who were tangling with this Templar-class Honkai Beast took a look and, realizing Temari had returned, were instantly overjoyed.
"Don't be careless, there are still other Honkai Beasts that haven't been dealt with!"
With that said, Temari continued to use the Vacuum Serial Waves, attacking another Templar-class Honkai Beast not far away.
Unsurprisingly, this Templar-class Honkai Beast was similarly shot full of holes.
"Lady Temari is amazing!"
"To take it down all at once..."
"Great, we're saved!"
Seeing Temari display such divine might, the Sunagakure ninja, who had been on the verge of despair, had their morale instantly boosted and began to re-engage the other Templar-class Honkai Beasts.
Furthermore, they coordinated with Temari, forcing these Templar-class Honkai Beasts to expose their backs or flanks to her.
Under the coordination of these Sunagakure ninja, Temari successfully killed three more Templar-class Honkai Beasts in succession.
In this battle up until now, seven Templar-class Honkai Beasts had died by her hands!
Nearly half of the Templar-class Honkai Beasts had fallen to her.
"Ah!"
Right at this moment, while tangling with a Templar-class Honkai Beast, a ninja slowed down because his body was too severely eroded by Honkai Energy, and he was abruptly swatted away by its shield.
That ninja was sent flying on the spot, plummeting toward the bottom of the city wall.
It was as if this served as a signal; even though there were only four Templar-class Honkai Beasts left, they still displayed a terrifying aggressiveness.
Having fought up to this point, the Sunagakure ninja, nearing the point of absolute exhaustion, died one after another at the hands of these Honkai Beasts.
"Damn it!"
Watching the Sunagakure ninja constantly dropping dead, Temari gritted her teeth and began to absorb more Honkai Energy.
"Not enough! It's not enough!"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
Boom!
Massive wind bullets blasted a Templar-class Honkai Beast away. The subsequent wind bullets even stun-locked the Templar-class Honkai Beast, keeping it suspended in the air.
And when it finally fell from the sky, apart from its large shield, there wasn't a single intact spot on its body; it was covered entirely in cracks!
Kick it while it's down!
Temari didn't let this Honkai Beast stand back up, directly moving in to deal the finishing blow.
"Only... three left!"
But just then, more commotion came from the city wall.
Those Knight-class Honkai Beasts had scaled the wall!
As soon as these Honkai Beasts reached the top of the wall, they launched a deadly charge toward the Sunagakure ninja and even Temari!
Because the speed of these Knight-class Honkai Beasts was simply too fast, and those Sunagakure ninja were already exhausted, a large number of them instantly perished at the hands of these Honkai Beasts.
In a flash, the number of Sunagakure ninja atop the city wall plummeted once more!
"Damn it, power, I need stronger power!"
The wind began to blow.
The wind in the desert had unknowingly grown stronger, whipping up the yellow sand and shrouding the entire Hidden Sand Village within it.
But at this moment, neither the people taking refuge inside the Hidden Sand Village nor the Sunagakure ninja currently fighting cared about this trivial matter.
"Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel Technique!"
A wind blade resembling a sickle weasel diagonally cleaved the charging Knight-class Honkai Beast in half right down the middle.
The lower half of this Honkai Beast took two more running steps before suddenly tripping and collapsing flat onto the ground, while its upper half flew straight off, tumbling all the way in front of Temari.
Smack~
Temari raised her leg and stomped her foot on the head of this Knight-class Honkai Beast, bringing it to a halt before kicking it away.
"Damn it, they're too close!"]
