Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 293 Sand Ninja Civil War (4)

"They're not afraid of poison?!"

The Sand Ninja had no time to be surprised and were about to launch an attack, but Ooka Shin's two shadow clones struck first.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Fierce flames swept across the ground in front of Ooka Shin, forming a wall of fire that blocked all the attacks and pursuits of the Sand Ninja.

Ooka Shin immediately retreated, dodging the puppet that rushed out again from under his feet, while simultaneously clenching his right fist.

"Smash it!"

On the sand dune, all the sand seemed to boil, climbing up from the feet of the Sand Ninja.

Some of the weaker Sand Ninja were encased in sand, forming cocoons. The cocoons then squeezed inwards, crushing the bones of the people inside.

Because he had to attack hundreds of Sand Ninja simultaneously, Ooka Shin was multitasking, so the attack wasn't very strong, and many Sand Ninja were able to escape it.

At this moment, more Sand Ninja had already taken action, forming an encirclement around the sand mountain.

"Since our progress has been delayed, we must kill the target. It will also reduce Yekura's powerful ally."

Chiyo waved her hand, and dozens of Sand Ninja stepped forward to join the siege of Ooka Shin.

The others held their ground and maintained the encirclement.

With the help of shadow clones, Ooka Shin and the Sand Ninja fought hard and were not at a disadvantage for the time being.

However, as the battle continued, the Sand Ninja constantly gathered intelligence on Ooka Shin's battles, then adjusted their tactics and launched more targeted attacks, putting increasing pressure on Ooka Shin.

After knocking back a Sand Ninja with a single punch, Ooka Shin took a moment to observe the battlefield and discovered that only about a hundred Sand Ninjas were attacking him on the sand dunes, while the rest of the Sand Ninjas had retreated.

"That old woman Chiyo is really hard to deal with. She noticed the hidden danger so quickly. There's nothing we can do."

"Cover me!"

Ooka Shin roared, retreated behind his shadow clone, and then formed hand seals.

"Interrupt him!"

Although they didn't know what Ooka Shin was planning, the Sand Village ninja felt it was best to stop him.

A dozen or so puppets flew in mid-air, trying to bypass the shadow clones to attack Ooka Shin. The two shadow clones immediately used Wind Release to attack and shatter these puppets.

Unexpectedly, after the outer shells of these puppets shattered, circular firing devices were revealed inside, and a hail of iron needles shot towards the shadow clones below.

The shadow clone hurriedly dodged to the side, only to be killed by several Sand Ninjas who were attacking in coordination with the puppeteer.

"Die!"

A Sand Ninja brandished a long-handled naginata and rushed towards Ooka Shin, the blade aimed at his neck.

"Collapsed sand buried the rain!"

In an instant, a massive explosion occurred inside the entire sand dune, and the resulting terrifying shockwave instantly shattered the sand dune, breaking it into large and small clumps.

Accompanied by countless gusts of wind, these sand clumps were fired in all directions like bullets.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Many Sand Ninja only heard the explosion beneath their feet, their faces showing surprise and confusion, before their bodies were riddled with holes, falling apart like torn rags.

Almost all the ninjas on the sand mountain were dead. The sand ninjas who did not go up the mountain were not safe either, but the distance gave Chiyo precious time to react.

"Damn it! It was a trap after all! Puppet Technique: Three Treasures Absorption and Collapse!"

Chiyo's expression changed drastically. She realized there were other traps on the mountain, but she hadn't expected them to be this monstrous. She immediately took out a scroll and summoned three white-clad puppets. They formed a triangular formation and unleashed a fierce tornado.

The tornado rapidly expanded, frantically absorbing the sand that was being shot at the Sand Ninja, and throwing the sand, now devoid of kinetic energy, behind the formation.

However, this was sand that could form a mountain; there was simply too much of it. Soon, small sand dunes formed behind the three puppets, while the sand in front of them not only did not decrease but increased, exceeding the absorption limit of the formation.

Fortunately, while Chiyo was defending herself, the other Sand Ninja reacted and used ninjutsu to build earthen walls in front of themselves to block the incoming sand bullets.

rumbling...

The earthen walls kept collapsing, and the dust they kicked up was blown around by the strong wind, forcing many Sand Ninja to close their mouths and eyes.

He took a deep breath in the huge crater created by the explosion, and for once felt how intensely Chuck had been drained.

Despite all that effort, they only managed to kill a little over a hundred Sand Ninja. Although most of them were quite strong, Ooka Shin was not entirely satisfied.

In the battle just now, Ōoka Shin had the advantage because of Chisuke's prior explanation, which gave him knowledge of the Sand Village ninja, while the Sand Village ninja did not know about him.

Now that Ooka Shin has revealed most of his trump cards, and the Sand Ninja have gathered enough intelligence, Ooka Shin will be at a disadvantage in the upcoming battle.

There are thousands of Sand Ninja here. After eliminating most of the cannon fodder, there are also all sorts of strong individuals. We can always find a way to deal with Ooka Shin.

As Ooka Nobu was about to make his move under the cover of the sandstorm, four large mechanical birds flew overhead.

These large birds opened their bellies and released four fist-thick iron chains, covered with dense purple runes. One end of each chain was fitted with a triangular pyramid, which was now deeply embedded in the ground, surrounding Ooka Shin.

"A sealing formation?!"

Ooka Shin's face was grim. He rushed towards the outside of the formation at top speed, but a four-person squad rushed out of the sandstorm and directly blocked Ooka Shin's path.

Ooka Shin and one of them exchanged a punch, and he felt an immense force rushing towards him, causing him to stagger back more than ten meters.

Each of the Sand Ninja in this squad has their own strengths. In a one-on-one situation, Ooka Shin can quickly defeat his opponent, but in a four-on-one situation, facing the enemy's tacit cooperation, Ooka Shin is slowed down.

In just a few seconds, the chains emitted a golden light, forming a cube-shaped barrier.

As soon as the barrier was activated, Ooka Shin felt his own chakra rapidly dissipating and being absorbed by the barrier. The barrier, having absorbed Ooka Shin's chakra, shone even brighter and absorbed chakra at an even faster rate.

Simply put, the more you inhale, the faster you inhale, and the faster you inhale, the more you inhale.

If he doesn't leave soon, more and more Sand Ninja will join the battle, and he'll be in danger.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

Ooka Shin took a dozen steps back, quickly formed hand seals, and an earth dragon condensed on the ground, rushing towards the four Sand Ninja in front of him.

A Sand Ninja pressed his hands to the ground, creating an earthen wall in front of him to block the Earth Dragon Bullet attack and protect his comrades.

Boom!

The earth dragon crashed into the earthen wall, scattering mud and dust everywhere. Ooka Shin charged straight out of the dust, gripping a kunai and stabbing at the Sand Ninja who was using Earth Release and whose hands were still pressed to the ground.

Beside this Sand Ninja, two other Sand Ninja, one on each side, wielded long swords and slashed horizontally, aiming for Ooka Shin's neck and lower back respectively.

The last Sand Ninja manipulated his puppet to fly into the air, raising his hands towards Ooka Shin and spraying out a large number of poison needles from the pipes in the center of his hands.

Their goal was clear: to force Ooka Nobu to retreat.

If Ooka Shin doesn't back down and insists on killing their comrades, then they can also kill Ooka Shin.

Facing an attack from three sides, Ooka Shin was unconcerned. He pierced the heart of the Sand Ninja in front of him with a kunai, then released it and turned his head to dodge the long sword aimed at his neck. His eyes were fixed on the Sand Ninja who was swinging his sword at his lower back.

Ooka Shin felt it was best not to reveal the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so he decided to use the Sharingan's genjutsu.

Before Ooka Shin died, Yamori had already transplanted the three-tomoe Sharingan, so Ooka Shin's resurrected body also retained the ability of the three-tomoe Sharingan.
