Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 68 The Grand Return Ceremony

"I will never back down!"

Akimichi Choza saw Shukaku rushing towards him, went straight up to him, and punched Shukaku, sending half of Shukaku's body flying.

"Hahaha! Idiot! You fell for my trick! Sand Binding Prison!"

Despite the severe damage to his body, Shukaku didn't care. He grabbed Akimichi Choza's shoulders with both hands, and countless grains of sand climbed onto Choza's body, forming a huge cage.

"Sandfall Funeral!"

The sand kept wriggling and compressing inwards, trying to crush Akimichi Choza into powder!

"Yamano Inoichi is seriously injured and cannot play a role in the short term. Akimichi Choza is an important piece and cannot die yet."

Orochimaru waited for a long time but didn't see the Sand Ninja's trump card. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly jumped backward and stretched his right hand towards the ground.

"Hidden Shadow Serpent Limbs!"

Several venomous snakes with colorful patterns appeared, revealing their sharp fangs.

A Sand Ninja had just jumped off the ground and was killed before he could even attack Orochimaru.

"So it was you, Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha!"

Orochimaru landed and saw Pakura not far away.

Shukaku attracted the attention of all the Konoha ninja, while Pakura dispatched numerous reconnaissance ninja to search for Konoha's commander.

Just now, Yekura learned of Orochimaru's location and led her elite subordinates here.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

"Scorching Release ninja, Pakura! So you were the Sand Village's trump card!"

Both sides have revealed all their cards.

No need for further words, only battle.

"Scorching Escape - Over-Steam Kill!"

"Hidden Shadow Serpent Hands!"

Compared to Yekura, who was about to fight, Chisuke was much more relaxed, practically an outsider on the battlefield, watching the war with great interest from above Shukaku's head.

He relied entirely on Shukaku in the battle, yet claimed all the credit for himself—he was ecstatic.

"If only I had a camera, I could record these war scenes, show them in theaters, and make a lot of money. After all, this is a real war blockbuster."

With Chisuke watching as the spectator, the massive sand cage collapsed with a deafening roar, and Choza Akimichi burst out.

At this moment, Akimichi Choza was enveloped in red chakra, his wings on his back had doubled in size, his muscles were bulging, and his blood vessels were bulging like tree roots.

"go to hell!"

Akimichi Choza threw a punch, but before it even touched Shukaku, the huge gust of wind from the punch struck Sensuke. Sensuke could only barely defend himself and couldn't open his eyes.

"You're the one who should die!"

Shukaku was furious to see Choza easily break through his attack. Just as he was about to retaliate, he saw countless shadows wrapping around him.

"Shadow Stitching Technique: Black Spider Lily!"

Numerous shadows bloomed on Nara Shikaku's body like flower petals, soaring into the sky and binding Shukaku with all their might, buying a moment of opportunity for their teammates.

"Go, Cho-za!"

"what!!!!"

With a roar, Akimichi Choza unleashed a fist the size of a carriage, striking Shukaku directly in the head.

This punch concentrated all its power!

This punch embodied all my beliefs!

This punch embodied the hopes of all his companions!

Time seemed to stand still. Everyone on the battlefield stared wide-eyed at the impressive power of the punch, anticipating a different outcome.

Konoha ninja: We must succeed!

Sand Ninja: You absolutely must defend!

boom!

Amidst the overwhelming anticipation, countless grains of sand exploded, scattering across the entire battlefield in the turbulent airflow.

"Wow!!"

"We defeated that monster!"

Amidst the cheers of the Konoha ninja, Shukaku lost its head, and its entire body rapidly collapsed, turning into a sand dune.

The monster that had been suffocating them finally died.

Upon seeing this, Akimichi Choza smiled with relief. His entire body shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon, eventually becoming a withered and frail body.

With a thud, his frail body, still smiling, collapsed unconscious on the ground.

"Choza! Medical ninja! Where is the medical ninja?!"

Shikaku rushed over, picked up Choza, and shouted for help.

Remembering Choza's once robust physique and feeling the light weight in his arms, Shikaku felt a pang of heartache.

The other Konoha ninjas are now fighting back.

He had just been chased all over the place and was seething with anger.

You bastards, you're having a blast fighting because you're using the tailed beasts, aren't you?

Now that Shukaku is gone, it's our turn to have some fun!

"Shukaku is indeed unreliable!"

"I knew it all along, I couldn't trust that brat! He's arrogant and domineering all the time, but he's completely useless when it really matters!"

With the tailed beast gone, the morale of the Sand Village ninjas dropped, but they weren't afraid and began fighting against the Leaf Village ninjas.

After the battle with Shukaku, the Konoha ninja suffered heavy casualties, and the Sand Ninja still hold the advantage.

Let's fight! Who's afraid of who!

The two sides quickly engaged in battle, while Chisuke cautiously peeked out from the ground some distance from the battlefield.

After surveying the battlefield, Chisuke felt relieved.

"Good, Akimichi Choza is gone, we're safe now."

Chisuke had watched the anime and knew that the Akimichi clan possessed powerful pills that could greatly enhance combat power, but also had severe side effects.

When Akimichi Choza burst out of the sand, Sensuke immediately became alert, his main body entering Shukaku's body, leaving only a shadow clone as a target.

After Shukaku's head was smashed, Chisuke continued to dive underground.

Choza Akimichi in that state was truly terrifying.

After all, Chisuke was just a Jinchūriki, not the real Shukaku.

Shukaku is not afraid of Akimichi Choza, who is on drugs, but Sensuke is worried about his own life.

For safety, he waited underground for a while, estimating that the effects of Akimichi Choza's drug had worn off, before cautiously coming out to investigate.

"Hmph, now that it's safe, it's my turn to show off!"

After Chisuke appeared, he did not immediately attack the Konoha ninja. Instead, he went behind a Sand ninja and hit him hard on the head.

"Ouch! That bastard hit me!"

The Sand Ninja turned around and saw Sensuke standing with his hands on his hips, his eyes widening in surprise.

"You...you...you weren't dead?"

Chisuke said fiercely, "You just insulted me, you wish I were dead, didn't you!"

The Sand Ninja immediately smiled and said ingratiatingly, "Senju-sama, you are my idol! Seeing that you are alright makes me so happy I could fly."

"Hmph, step back, watch me show off, no, watch me kill the enemy!"

The surrounding Sand Ninja retreated quickly. Sensuke looked up at the dozens of Konoha Ninja in front of him and formed hand seals.

"Let's have a grand return ceremony! Flowing Sands!"

The earth trembled violently, the ground cracked continuously, and the soil and rocks decomposed into gravel in the overwhelming chakra. In the blink of an eye, the entire land turned into a barren desert!

Standing atop the high sand dune, Sensuke looked at the Konoha ninja's dumbfounded expressions and revealed his pearly white teeth.

"Hahaha, don't panic, this is just the beginning! Sand Burial!"

The desert, like boiling water, surged and surged, sweeping across everything like ocean waves, crushing and destroying everything.

Many Konoha ninjas, in their escape, in their defense, in their wails, in their collapse, were mercilessly swallowed by the desert, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Beneath the monotonous yellow desert, countless lives are buried.
