The violent wind generated by the Rasen Shuriken spiraled wildly beside Yagami.
The Konoha jōnin who had gathered nearby out of curiosity were suddenly forced back by the sheer pressure of the spinning chakra. Shock spread across their faces.
The technique hadn't even been thrown yet, and it already carried such terrifying power.
There was no doubt—this was an S-rank ninjutsu.
"Yagami-kun… your talent is truly remarkable."
Even Orochimaru, who managed to hold his ground, couldn't hide his surprise. He could clearly sense the violent, razor-sharp wind-nature chakra condensed inside the Rasen Shuriken. The intensity of it stirred a trace of envy in his eyes.
"Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken!"
Ignoring the stunned reactions around him, Yagami bent his body and hurled the completed jutsu forward.
The air shrieked as it was torn apart.
The Rasen Shuriken shot across the battlefield like a spinning blade of light. Everyone held their breath, eyes locked onto the flying technique, anticipating the legendary Wind Style detonation.
"Disperse!!"
"Everyone, scatter!!"
The Sunagakure sensory ninja had already detected the disturbance above Kikyo Castle. The mont the jutsu was launched, they shouted urgent warnings.
The Sand shinobi charging forward imdiately split to both sides.
"Magnet Style: Gold Dust Binding!"
At that instant, a pair of enormous golden hands surged up from the ground in front of the incoming Rasen Shuriken, attempting to seize it.
But the mont the hands made contact, they were sliced clean in half. Gold dust scattered across the battlefield like shattered glass.
"Move!!"
Seeing his Magnet Style fail instantly, Rasa shouted a warning and sprinted to the side.
Boom—!!!
The Rasen Shuriken struck the ground and erupted.
A massive explosion rippled outward, the shockwave making the earth tremble like an violent quake. From the center of the blast, hurricane-force winds tore across the battlefield.
The Sand shinobi at the edge of the explosion—those lucky or quick enough to react—were violently thrown away by the shockwave.
Those caught inside the blast radius were shredded by countless microscopic wind blades, their bodies pierced as if by an invisible storm of needles.
Rumble—!!
The explosion raged on, howling like a catastrophic gale. Trees were snapped in half and hurled through the air by the expanding vortex.
Even atop Kikyo Castle, the Konoha shinobi were forced to brace themselves against the roaring wind. Orochimaru's long hair whipped wildly behind him.
The shinobi witnessing the technique for the first ti stood frozen, their expressions blank with disbelief.
This… was an S-rank ninjutsu?
The sa thought surfaced in everyone's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating 39 enemies and gaining 2,067 prestige points.]
Hearing the system notification, Yagami nodded slightly in satisfaction.
There were far more Sand shinobi on the battlefield today than yesterday. A single Rasen Shuriken had already earned him more than double the prestige from the previous engagent.
After more than ten seconds, the raging winds finally subsided.
In their wake remained a massive circular crater that left the onlookers uneasy.
—
The Sand shinobi on the battlefield were montarily stunned into silence.
But after only a few seconds, furious roars erupted as they charged forward again.
"Advance!"
"Keep pushing!"
Losing over thirty shinobi in an instant was shocking. Yet for an army numbering more than six thousand, the casualties barely slowed their montum.
"Focus yourselves!!"
The Sand shinobi's battle cries snapped the Konoha defenders back to their senses. Everyone steeled their resolve and prepared to fight.
"Attack!!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the Sand shinobi neared the base of Kikyo Castle, the Konoha defenders unleashed a storm of kunai and shuriken. Many attackers fell under the rain of steel before they could dodge.
"Counterattack!"
"Wind Style!"
"Fire Style!"
"Earth Style!"
Explosions thundered as the Sand shinobi who broke through the barrage unleashed their own ninjutsu. Konoha answered in kind. Techniques collided midair in a chain of violent detonations.
For a ti, the battlefield before Kikyo Castle was swallowed by flas and smoke. The relentless exchange of ninjutsu continued until the Sand forces gradually gained the upper hand.
Their nurical advantage was simply overwhelming.
Several sections of Kikyo Castle's walls cracked and shattered under the bombardnt.
With the defenders suppressed, the Sand shinobi surged forward, scaling the walls and flooding onto the battlents.
"Close combat!"
Yagami drew Shisui from his waist in one smooth motion and turned to Kushina in warning.
Kushina imdiately ford hand seals.
Several chakra chains burst from her back, snapping through the air like living whips.
At that mont, Orochimaru's voice echoed across the wall.
"The Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!"
Yagami glanced back just in ti to see Orochimaru open his mouth unnaturally wide. A torrent of snakes poured out in an endless stream, quickly forming a vast, writhing sea.
The tide of serpents cascaded down the city wall and spread across the battlefield.
Hiss—!
Blades shot from the snakes' open mouths. Wherever the serpent sea advanced, Sand shinobi were swallowed or impaled without rcy.
"That's… disgustingly effective," Kushina muttered, goosebumps rising on her arms at the sight.
Yagami frowned and nodded in agreent.
Orochimaru was undeniably powerful.
But his techniques were grotesque to an extre. The dense ocean of snakes below the wall was enough to make anyone uneasy just looking at it.
