Chapter 799 Attention
Zhang Hai immediately noticed Kurenai Yuhi. Although Kurenai was renowned for her genjutsu (illusionary techniques), its effectiveness was limited in such a large-scale melee. She was engaged in close combat with a sword, her body already stained with blood, clearly having fought a fierce battle. Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and others were also engaged in fierce fighting with the Sand Ninja, but they were outnumbered and clearly at a disadvantage.
Just then, Zhang Hai's shadow clone arrived in time. Wielding the "Supreme Blade," its blade flashed like a ghost, and its unpredictable attack pattern, combined with the Konoha ninja, barely maintained the undefeated situation. However, the Sand Ninja's numerical advantage was simply too obvious, and the clone knew that once its chakra was exhausted, the battle would be reversed in an instant.
"Earth Escape, a great river of earth flow!"
"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"
Simultaneously, numerous Sunagakure ninja formed hand seals, unleashing a massive Earth Release ninjutsu. With a deafening roar, several small mountains collapsed towards the ninja academy, and swarms of rocks flew towards the Konoha ninja like bullets. The battlefield surrounding the academy was instantly leveled. This massive attack completely shifted the tide of the battle, and a flicker of despair flashed in Crimson's eyes.
Just at this critical moment, another shadow clone of Zhang Hai arrived in time!
He leaped into the air, chose his position, and unleashed the long-awaited "Unintentional Blade" sword-drawing technique! The blade, carrying immense cutting power, met the onrushing giant rocks head-on. Blade light, lightning, and rocks clashed violently in the air before finally settling into dust, creating a dazzling yet fleeting spectacle.
Kurenai looked up and saw this scene, her eyes filled with surprise. She murmured to herself, "Is this Zhang Hai? You've finally come!" She then asked her father, Shinku, who was standing beside her, with trembling hands, "Father... is it him?" Since the start of the Third World War, Kurenai and Zhang Hai had not seen each other, and her longing for Zhang Hai was almost overflowing.
Zhen Hong replied in surprise, "Yes, such sharp swordsmanship, I have only seen it from the former Konoha White Fang. He is the only one in the entire Konoha who can do it." He was impressed by Zhang Hai's rapid growth, and that attack just now had clearly surpassed his own.
Upon hearing the confirmation, Kurenai Yuhi excitedly prepared to call out Zhang Hai's name. However, Shinku shook his head, stopping her. He reminded her, "He's wearing an Anbu mask right now; don't reveal his true identity." Kurenai Yuhi could only suppress her excitement, her eyes filled with reverence for Zhang Hai.
After his attack, Zhang Hai went straight to Zhen Hong. He nodded to him and asked, "How's the situation now?"
Shinku's tone was filled with anger. He looked down at the fallen Konoha ninja and reported somberly, "The Sand Village ninja probably number over a hundred, while we only have thirty ninja left to defend. Among them, some are genin who have never experienced war..."
Zhang Hai carefully observed the surviving ninjas. Apart from Yuhi Shinku, most of them were young Chunin and Genin. They were trembling all over, their eyes filled with despair, but when they saw Zhang Hai appear like a "divine intervention," their despair was rekindled with dependence and hope.
Zhang Hai understood Zhen Hong's personality; he would never abandon these newly graduated ninjas who had not yet experienced the true baptism of war. However, the chakra reserves of the two shadow clones were insufficient to withstand the siege of over a hundred Sand Ninjas for an extended period.
He made a decision.
"Senior Zhen Hong, please lead them to safety," Zhang Hai said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Hong immediately shook her head and refused: "No way! Zhang Hai! It's too risky and too reckless for you to face more than a hundred Sand Ninjas by yourself!"
Zhang Hai smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, senior, I'm not a reckless person. Besides, I'm just an avatar." He took the "Supreme Blade" from the other avatar and then dispelled it.
When Kurenai saw Zhang Hai dispel his clone, she realized that the Anbu members who had appeared in the Uchiha territory were also Zhang Hai's shadow clones. She was astonished by Zhang Hai's power, her eyes filled with shock. Ultimately, she agreed to the retreat. Kurenai glanced at Zhang Hai with reluctance, and led by her father, left the Ninja Academy with the other ninjas.
Zhang Hai dispelled one of his clones and quickly assessed the situation at the Ninja Academy. He knew he couldn't afford to slack off any longer. The successive dangers faced by Mikoto, Shinku, and Kurenai had convinced him to stop holding back and begin Konoha's counterattack.
He decided to use the Spirit Transformation Technique to quickly eliminate these hundreds of Sand Ninja, and to ensure that the Spirit Transformation Technique he created was strong enough.
Standing atop the slug, Zhang Hai's true form swiftly formed hand seals.
A jet-black soul, like a ghost, surged out of his body and flew towards the ninja academy at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect.
At this moment, the Lightning Release shadow clone wielding two weapons was already locked in a fierce battle. After killing several Sand Ninja in close combat, the Sand Ninja changed tactics, switching to a barrage of ranged ninjutsu. The clone, using sword dancing techniques, managed to deflect all attacks with its superb swordsmanship, barely maintaining a stalemate where neither side could gain the upper hand.
However, with the arrival of that dark soul, the battle situation instantly turned around!
Without warning, a Sand Ninja's body shuddered violently, then collapsed silently, eyes wide open, dying with unfinished business. Then, more Sand Ninja died inexplicably, and a massive panic quickly spread. Some Sand Ninja tried to escape, while others screamed in terror. They had no idea what was happening; they only felt their life force being slowly drained away.
Zhang Hai showed no mercy. He used his shadow clones to wipe out the entire group of Sand Ninja, demonstrating the terrifying power of the Spirit Transformation Technique.
"boom--!"
With a deafening roar, a brilliant eight-trigram pattern suddenly appeared in the sky, lingering for a long time. This was the Hyuga clan crest, shining brightly against the blue sky and white clouds of Konoha.
The ninjas looked up at the sky, where a bright eight-trigram pattern stood out so clearly. They recognized it as the Hyuga clan emblem!
A confident smile graced Hiashi Hyuga's face as he stared intently at the puppeteers advancing ahead, certain that his plan was in place.
Chiyo, who was directing the puppets' advance, frowned slightly. A strong unease arose in her heart, and an ominous premonition enveloped her. She suspected that Konoha might have set up an ambush.
"Do it!"
Hiashi Hyuga roared angrily, his voice booming through the air.
The advancing puppeteers' ranks were instantly thrown into chaos! Some ninjas dressed in Sand Village attire, who had been guarding the puppet army, suddenly turned against them and launched a merciless attack on the puppeteers who were focused on controlling the chariots and puppets!
