Chapter 209: Cloud Village Eliminated

Chapter 209: Cloud Village Eliminated

"Super Odama Rasengan!" Following Naruto's explosive roar, the Cloud ninjas, who were already overwhelmed by the chain of explosive tags, suddenly felt a massive chakra fluctuation from above. Looking up, they saw that within the thick smoke, a yellow-haired figure was smashing down on each of their heads with a giant Rasengan.

In the next instant, a series of space-time fluctuations from the summoning wristbands occurred. After the smoke and dust from the explosions were blown away by the Rasengans, only one of the 9 Cloud ninjas was left standing in the field.

He was able to remain not because he was particularly strong, but because he had previously collected a scroll that sealed a Jonin-level defensive ninjutsu, which could be activated to create a sturdy earth wall when attacked.

However, this defense, which was difficult for even the caster to break, was now shattering under the attack of the Rasengan.

"This is... a Rasengan? Are you kidding me?" The sole remaining Cloud ninja gripped his sword, his hands trembling slightly. This Rasengan was completely different from the jutsu used by the evil Golden Flash in the Cloud Village's storybooks.

And why wouldn't it be? The original purpose for which the Rasengan was developed was for Minato Namikaze to have a jutsu to break through the defenses of ninjas who couldn't be killed by kunai. Even the Fourth's subsequent research direction never deviated from this original intention. But after this jutsu was passed down to Naruto, it went completely off track. In Naruto's cognition, bigger is stronger. Therefore, the Rasengan, an instant-cast assassination ninjutsu, had already become a ultimate move in his hands. Yet, this fellow's chakra reserves were so large that he could use an ultimate move like a basic attack.

"Only one left?" Naruto looked up at the enemy, stomped his foot hard on the ground, and his entire figure shot towards the opponent, swinging his fist with all his might.

"An attack full of openings like this, how could it possibly hit me!" The last remaining Cloud ninja gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and met the charging Naruto.

However, the moment the two clashed, this Cloud ninja realized that although Naruto's attack was indeed full of openings in his eyes, his speed was simply too fast—so fast that he couldn't grasp the opponent's glaringly obvious weak spots at all.

Boom! In the next instant, the Cloud ninja took a heavy punch to the face. But this Cloud ninja instinctively swung his sword, which also slashed across Naruto's waist. The sensation of cutting through flesh and blood came from his hand, and a flash of joy appeared in this Cloud ninja's heart, ignoring the pain on his face.

[Is the taijutsu discipline of Konoha's genin this poor?]

However, before he could be happy for long, Naruto's next whip kick, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, slammed into his side. After the right whip kick, a left front kick immediately followed, and then, Naruto's attacks came like a tidal wave.

[This is impossible! Does this kind of injury have no effect on him at all? And... this chakra fluctuation, is this a Wind Release nintaijutsu?]

The Cloud genin, parrying sloppily, was about to have his eyes pop out of their sockets. In the brief moment he managed to block Naruto's attack, he vaguely saw through the gap in the clothes on the opponent's waist, revealing skin as smooth as new. But the sensation from his sword just now clearly told him that the slash had definitely cut through the opponent's flesh and blood.

"He's actually comparing taijutsu with Naruto?" Choji, hiding in the shadows, felt his mouth twitch, expressing admiration for this Cloud ninja's courage.

Naruto's fighting style was actually very irrational. In the eyes of anyone who had practiced even a little taijutsu, Naruto's attacks and defenses were full of openings. However, in the face of absolute stats, being able to see an opening and being able to exploit it were two completely different things.

In the current Konoha, among ninjas below Kage-level, apart from Sasuke and a well-equipped Neji, no one could keep up with Naruto's speed. And even if one could keep up with his speed, facing his monstrous recovery ability, it would be difficult to inflict any effective damage. After all, the damage you inflict by stabbing him once is probably less than the damage his own Wind Release nintaijutsu does to himself.

"Haaah!" Following Naruto's explosive roar, a kick sent the enemy flying far away. And in the direction the enemy was sent flying, two shadow clones had already been waiting with charged Rasengans for a long time.

As the last enemy was sent out of the exam area, Naruto turned to look in the direction where Shikamaru was hiding and said in the channel, "Two minutes and fifty-seven seconds. Didn't exceed three minutes, right?"

"Shino, Kiba, replenish the explosive tags in the traps. Naruto, go to Hinata's side and stand by for now." Shikamaru, who was contemplating the battle situation, had no time to joke with Naruto and calmly issued orders, all while being extremely puzzled. "If they were just the vanguard, the duration of the previous battle was more than enough for the enemy's follow-up teams to provide support. Could it be that the Cloud Village really only has 3 squads left?"

"The others are over here," at this moment, Neji's voice sounded in the channel. "There are four squads here. They seem to have found the overlapping area of our and Iwagakure's defense and intend to break through from here."

"Why would they do that? If they had combined their forces, the pressure of 7 squads on our current defensive configuration would have been immense," Shikamaru was utterly confused.

"It must be internal strife. The Cloud squad just now was all white people, right?" Sasuke said with a laugh at this point.

"This... that shouldn't be possible, right?" Shikamaru was also incredulous upon hearing this. "I only heard that the racial conflict within the Cloud Village was a bit serious, but has it really gotten to this extent?"

"This is nothing yet. Reality doesn't need to follow logic," Sasuke said with a laugh.

"In that case, your side should wait for Iwagakure's people to make the first move," Shikamaru said.

"Lava Release: Lime Congealing Technique!" Just as Shikamaru's voice fell, Kurotsuchi, hidden at the edge of the circle, took the lead. A large amount of lime spewed from her mouth, landing at the feet of the four Cloud squads led by Omoi.

"It's a Kekkei Genkai user! Everyone, spread out!" Omoi roared, then rapidly formed seals.

"Cloud Style: Crescent Moon Beheading!" Omoi drew the long sword from his back and successively unleashed three slashes of sword qi imbued with chakra. The sword qi instantly cut through the Water Release ninjutsu that followed the lime, preventing Kurotsuchi's control combo from succeeding. However, the other two squads he brought with him were hit because they failed to dodge in time.

The viscous cement bound those who were hit in place, making them completely immobile. In the next instant, Iwagakure's signature combination ninjutsu, Earth Dragon Bullet, came whistling and sent those controlled by the Lime Congealing Technique out of the arena.

"Little brother Uchiha, are you planning to just watch like this?" At this time, Kurotsuchi arrived at a tree not far from the one Sasuke was hiding in and said loudly to Sasuke.

"I'll take the strongest one. You guys handle the rest. How about it?" Sasuke said with a smile.

"Alright then, we'll take a small loss," Kurotsuchi nodded. "Lava Release: Lime Congealing Technique!"

After speaking, Kurotsuchi used the Lime Congealing Technique to draw a large circle with a diameter of twenty meters around Omoi, then followed up with an Earth Release jutsu.

"Heh heh, the ring has been set up for you. This time, he won't be able to escape like last time. What do you think? I'm a very considerate ally, right?"

"Then I thank you," Sasuke raised an eyebrow, glanced at the thick layer of viscous cement outside the twenty-meter diameter circle, smiled meaningfully, then drew his sword and jumped into the battle ring.

"We meet again," Sasuke twirled his sword and said unhurriedly to Omoi.

"Iwagakure is not a village that keeps its promises. By cooperating with them, aren't you afraid they'll kill the donkey after it's done grinding the mill?" Omoi stood with his sword, looking at Sasuke.

"You don't need to worry about that, because you will soon be sent away by me," Sasuke laughed. "You got another sword? Then let me see the sword skills of the Cloud."

"I may not be your match in Lightning Release ninjutsu, but when it comes to swordsmanship, as a disciple of Lord Killer Bee, I will not lose to you."

In the next instant, two flashes of lightning shot past, followed by the light chime of metal clashing.

In the arena enclosed by lime, two streaks of lightning, one blue and one purple, continuously collided. The arena surged with electrical flashes.

"So fast!" Omoi was forced back repeatedly by Sasuke's fierce offensive. After a few rounds, he had to admit that Sasuke's speed was even greater than his. "Then, try this move!"

Omoi suddenly changed the rhythm of his attack, stepping forward on a flash of lightning, but the broadsword in his hand remained in a charged stance.

At this moment, Sasuke also realized that he couldn't predict where Omoi's next slash would go in this posture. For some special reason, he currently couldn't adopt a strategy of trading injuries for injuries, so he could only temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

"My Style: Back Mist Slash!" This was the moment Omoi was waiting for. The broadsword in his hand slashed towards the half-step-retreating Sasuke from an incredible angle.

"Lightning Flash!" Although Omoi's sword was fast, Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan still caught this glint of cold steel at the last moment.

Sasuke's left hand twisted slightly, his body leaned back at an impossible angle, and then he retreated rapidly.

After dodging this slash, Sasuke twisted his body to regain his balance, once again transforming into a flash of lightning and slashing towards Omoi.

At this moment, Omoi finally saw clearly the light reflected by an extremely thin steel wire connected to Sasuke's waist under the sunlight.

"A steel wire? When?" Omoi's chest and abdomen were sliced open by Sasuke's diagonal slash. Before the summoning jutsu on his wristband was triggered, he still didn't know how Sasuke had done it.

"Uchiha Style: Shuriken Manipulation Technique, kid." After sending Omoi away, Sasuke sheathed his sword. At this time, Kurotsuchi had already led her team to deal with the remaining Cloud ninjas.

"Miss Kurotsuchi, you can take down the ring now," Sasuke said loudly.

"Is that so? But I don't think that's necessary," Kurotsuchi said with a light laugh, arriving not far from Sasuke. "Little brother, your sword skills are strong, and your speed is very fast. You might cause us quite a bit of trouble in a moment."

After speaking, Kurotsuchi formed seals with both hands. The viscous cement around Sasuke began to converge towards the center at an extremely fast speed.
