Chapter 841 Must Drink
"Dream on. You still have to take your medicine, otherwise you'll develop a chronic illness and become a cripple, and I won't be responsible for that."
Although he said that, he did not push the girl away from his arms. Instead, he hugged her even tighter, enjoying this moment of tenderness after surviving the ordeal.
……
Meanwhile, outside the laboratory in Konoha Village, the battle situation took a dramatic turn.
The dense fog that had previously rendered the Konoha ninja helpless and forced them to passively endure attacks has now become a death knell for the Hidden Mist ninja.
"Open your eyes! Roll your eyes!"
With a series of synchronized shouts, pairs of white eyes with bulging veins lit up on the battlefield. The Hyuga clan ninjas had joined the battle.
Compared to the Byakugan's terrifying insight—its ability to see through everything from every angle and even the flow of chakra—the so-called "Hidden Mist Technique" is simply a joke.
"Two enemies at three o'clock!"
"There are three hiding behind the big tree at the eleven o'clock position!"
The Hyuga clan ninjas, as if possessed by X-ray vision, accurately reported the coordinates. Immediately afterwards, the Konoha ninjas, as if with eyes, unleashed a barrage of ninjutsu and kunai with pinpoint accuracy.
The Hidden Mist ninjas, who had been thriving in the thick fog and launching sneak attacks with impunity, were instantly dumbfounded. Their prized stealth techniques had failed them, turning them into sitting ducks, and screams of agony filled the air.
In the central area of the battlefield.
Qing, who was directing his troops in the attack, suddenly felt a chilling aura lock onto him.
"That is……"
His only Byakugan suddenly looked ahead and saw dozens of ninjas dressed in Hyuga clan attire rushing towards him with bloodshot eyes and murderous intent, their gazes seeming to want to devour him alive.
"We've spotted that Hidden Mist thief with the Byakugan!"
"Kill him! That would be a disgrace to our Hyuga clan!"
"Take back the Byakugan! Those are the main family's eyes! They must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands!"
For the Hyuga clan, who place great importance on bloodlines and the secrets of the Byakugan, Ao's existence is like a poisonous thorn stuck in their hearts, the greatest shame of the entire clan.
At this moment, enemies meeting again are filled with intense hatred. The Hyuga clan has almost gone into a frenzy, with all members abandoning other goals and rushing towards Ao like mad dogs.
"Damn it! How can there be so many Hyuga clan members?!"
Ao was terrified, and his initial ambition to achieve great things crumbled instantly. Faced with the combined attack of dozens of Hyuga elites who also possessed the Byakugan and had terrifying taijutsu skills, let alone retaliating, even preserving his body intact was a pipe dream.
"Retreat! Retreat now! Protect me!"
Qing roared hoarsely and fled in a sorry state under the desperate cover of his personal guards.
With the commander's rout and the loss of their stealth advantage, Kirigakure's initially aggressive surprise attack turned into a one-sided massacre and defeat.
The thick fog had been dispelled by the rising sun, but the air was still filled with the pungent smell of blood and burnt earth.
"Ape Demon! Vajra Ruyi Cudgel!"
In the center of the battlefield, a powerful roar resounded like thunder. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, clad in armor, instantly lengthened and thickened his Ruyi Jingu Bang, transforming it into a colossal pillar supporting the sky, and swung it with the force to sweep away thousands of troops.
Bang bang bang!
This swing of the staff was executed without any fancy ninjutsu; it was a pure combination of power and skill. The dozen or so Mist Ninjas who tried to surround him didn't even have time to scream before they were sent flying backward like baseballs, spitting blood. Their ninja swords shattered the moment they touched the staff.
"Is this... the taijutsu taught by the ninjutsu professor?"
The young Konoha ninjas around them stared in disbelief. The old man, who usually had a pipe in his mouth and a kind face, was now like a god of war descended to earth when he started fighting. Every strike was powerful and heavy, yet incredibly precise, crippling the enemy while cleverly avoiding the surrounding village buildings.
"Don't linger! Drive them out!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his golden cudgel into the ground, creating a shockwave that scattered the Kirigakure ninja who were trying to regroup once again. He knew that the village had just been rebuilt and could not withstand the strain of a large-scale ninjutsu exchange, so he chose this wide-ranging taijutsu suppression, striving to end the battle with minimal collateral damage.
With the Hokage leading the charge, the morale of the Konoha ninja soared. The defenses, which had been somewhat chaotic due to the surprise attack, quickly stabilized, turning defense into offense and forcing the invaders step by step out of the village.
……
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
At the edge of the battlefield, Ao clutched his left arm, which had been injured by Hinata Yuu's punch, his face as pale as paper. His only remaining eye, the Byakugan, was now bloodshot, as he desperately surveyed the battlefield.
"Where is Lord Chizuki?! Where are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?! Why haven't they come to our aid yet?!"
Ao screamed inwardly. According to the plan, they were merely the vanguard; the real killing blow should have come from the seven monsters and the terrifyingly powerful Hozuki Chizuki. But now, his troops had been utterly routed, and the promised reinforcements had vanished without a trace.
"Could it be... that they were all killed?"
The moment this thought crossed Qing's mind, he felt a chill run down his spine. If even that level of combat power was lost, his few hundred ordinary Mist Ninja under his command would be nothing short of suicide against Konoha, which had a "Ninja Hero" in charge and was being targeted by the Hyuga clan like madmen.
"We can't fight anymore... If we continue, our entire army will be wiped out!"
Watching his subordinates fall one by one around him, Qing finally broke down. All his historical achievements, all his glory as the first to breach Konoha, became utterly worthless in the face of death.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Qing roared as he gave his final command, his voice tinged with despair, "Use Water Release as cover! Run!"
The Mist Ninja, having received their orders, felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and their will to survive exploded to the extreme at that moment.
"Water Release·Exploding Water Wave!"
The remaining hundreds of Mist Ninja simultaneously formed hand seals, spewing out massive amounts of water from their mouths. These water streams converged and instantly transformed into a colossal wave tens of meters high, like a towering blue wall, crashing down upon Konoha Village and the pursuing ninjas.
This was not only a cover for escape, but also a desperate counterattack. If this flood was not stopped, half of Konoha Village would be submerged.
"Don't try to succeed!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, and he instantly retracted the golden cudgel in his hand.
"Earth-遁班! Build a wall!"
At the Hokage's command, the Earth Release ninjas, who had been waiting in advance, slammed their fists into the ground.
"Earth Escape·Multiple Earth Current Walls!"
Rumbling--
The earth trembled, and thick rock walls rose from the ground, quickly forming an indestructible breakwater.
boom! ! !
The giant waves crashed violently against the earthen wall, creating a deafening roar. White spray rose dozens of meters high, but the earthen wall remained unmoved, firmly keeping the floodwaters outside the village.
