Search and Rescue Opt. 6

The tension in the air was palpable as Silver and his squad, along with Falcon's team, prepared themselves for the oncoming onslaught. Both teams were already in formation, their fingers flying through hand seals with practiced precision. The Explosion Corps and their Iwa allies, surrounding them, could feel the weight of their enemies' resolve.

Without warning, the earth trembled beneath their feet. The Explosion Corps captain, with his scarred face twisted into a menacing grin, lifted his hand high into the air.

A violent wave of chakra rippled across the battlefield as the enemy shinobi unleashed a barrage of ninjutsu. Fireballs, explosive tags, and earth-shattering waves of chakra came rushing toward them.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Bullet!" Falcon shouted, his hands moving swiftly as he summoned a blast of wind that collided with the incoming fireballs, dissipating them into smoke. At the same time, Silver and his team reacted quickly, executing a flurry of hand seals to create their own defenses.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall!" Sight yelled, and a towering wall of mud rose from the ground, absorbing a majority of the explosive projectiles. The mud wall splintered as the explosions rocked it, but it did its job, giving the team a moment's respite.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Verdants shouted, summoning a massive water dragon that rushed forward to douse a barrage of fireballs, extinguishing them with ease. But there was no time to rest—Falcon's squad had to act quickly as the barrage continued.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!" Embers raised his hand, releasing a stream of fire that met the enemy's explosive barrage head-on, countering the attack with his own flames. But the Explosion Corps didn't stop. More explosive tags were set off, rattling the earth beneath them.

"Silver!" Falcon yelled over the chaos, "We need to take down the S-rank commander now before his team overwhelms us!"

Silver's eyes locked on the scarred Explosion Corps captain, who had been standing calmly in the center of the fray, his eyes cold and calculating.

"You're mine now," Silver muttered under his breath, his voice low and deadly.

He didn't hesitate. With a swift motion, Silver vanished in a blur, Shunshin Jutsu propelling him toward the S-rank captain.

The Explosion Corps captain, sensing the movement, turned his head with a cold sneer. "You think you can defeat me that easily, brat?" he snarled, raising his hand. Silver felt the air tense with explosive chakra as the ground beneath him began to crack.

"Explosion Style: Detonation Palm!" The Explosion Corps captain slammed his palm into the earth, sending a wave of explosions erupting from the ground beneath Silver.

But Silver wasn't caught off guard. His hand moved in a blur, forming hand seals with lightning speed.

"Chidori: Senbon!" Silver cried out, his lightning-infused chakra leaping from his hand in a flurry of electric needles. The needles shot forward, aiming for the S-rank captain's face.

With a twisted smirk, the Explosion Corps captain raised his arm, his eyes narrowed with confidence. "Explosion Style: Impact Detonation!"

An enormous explosion detonated at his feet, enveloping him in a massive cloud of dust and debris. Silver had no choice but to dive to the side to avoid the blast, the sheer force of the explosion nearly knocking him off his feet.

Through the smoke, Silver could see the Explosion Corps captain standing, unharmed, his body radiating chakra. His scarred face twisted into a grin. "Is that the best you've got?"

The ground beneath Silver's feet cracked once again, and before he could react, the Explosion Corps captain raised his hand. "Explosion Style: Earthshaker!"

The earth trembled violently as massive chunks of the ground began to rise and crash toward Silver. Without hesitation, Silver's hands flashed through the hand seals.

"Earth Style: Earth Barrier Jutsu!" A thick, protective layer of earth rose around Silver, blocking the incoming debris, but the sheer force of the impact made the barrier tremble. Silver gritted his teeth, knowing this fight was far from over.

Meanwhile, Falcon's squad was still in combat with the rest of the Iwa forces, using a combination of quick-hit ninjutsu and defensive techniques to buy Silver enough time to engage the S-rank commander head-on. But the enemy's overwhelming strength made it difficult to hold their ground.

"Sight! Verdants! Get ready!" Silver shouted. "We need to finish this quickly!"

The battle was on the edge of tipping into chaos. Silver had no choice but to go all in, pushing the limits of his chakra to defeat the Explosion Corps captain and lead his team to victory.
