Naruto: With just a kunai, he fought his way through the Third Shinobi Chapter 74 74 The

"Ah!"

A black streak of light flashed by.

Rōshi left shoulder was pierced by a kunai, his arm was severed, and blood splattered in the sky!

Under the system's power, the kunai completely ignored the influence of the tailed beast's chakra.

Onoki tried his best to pull Rōshi away, but it did not affect the outco of the hit.

It was a complete waste of effort.

As a Jinchūriki, the ultimate attack has no effect on Rōshi yet, but if a kunai thrown with great force hits the body directly, it will definitely pierce through it on the spot.

"Kunai! Could it be that kid from Konoha again?"

Onoki stared with intense resentnt in the direction from which the kunai had been thrown.

Although he couldn't see the person on the ground clearly from this distance, he was certain that he had seen it before, and that it was the work of that kid who used special kunai techniques!

There were rumors in Sunagakure that during the battle in the Land of Rivers, it was that kid who used a kunai to penetrate the defenses of the Tailed Beast Shukaku and injure the Jinchuriki inside, which is why Shukaku was unable to unleash the Tailed Beast Ball.

Today, it seems this was more than just a rumor.

That kid's kunai can really penetrate the tailed beast's chakra defense!

Onoki didn't dare to linger.

He quickly picked up Rōshi's severed arm and then left at full speed with the unconscious Rōshi.

By this ti, the other Iwagakure ninjas had already completed their retreat.

Originally intending to retaliate against Konoha with the Tailed Beast Ball, Onoki failed to kill anyone on either occasion.

Instead, Rōshi was seriously injured.

Feeling frustrated and unwilling, Onoki could only leave helplessly.

"In this battle, the losses of ordinary ninjas were barely contained, but... the losses of high-ranking ninjas were huge!"

Onoki glanced at the unconscious Rōshi again.

"That brat should survive, as for the severed hand... imdiately have the dical ninja keep the arm alive.

If we find that guy in ti, it should be able to be stitched up completely, right?"

"This ti, the losses were too severe..."

"Sunagakure and Agakure are not capable of pursuing us.

Konoha has always only focused on defense and counterattacks, so there's no need to worry about them chasing us all the way to the Land of Earth. However...

Kumogakure will definitely not let this opportunity pass!"

"For now, let's focus on holding off the Cloud Village. We'll see what opportunities arise for the rest..."

Ōnoki sighed, and his figure quickly disappeared towards the Land of Earth.

Seeing what had just happened, the high-ranking ninjas of Konoha were also extrely surprised.

Jiraiya was sowhat stunned and muttered to himself:

"Who made the move this ti?"

"The first Tailed Beast Ball had help, and the second one also had help.

The key is that they were different people, and they were all so powerful.

When did Konoha get so many powerful outside helpers?"

Minato remained silent, his gaze fixed on the direction where the kunai had appeared.

"That was... a kunai? Could it be Souji-nii...?"

"Could the rumors about injuring the Sand Village Jinchuriki be true?

Is Souji really that strong?"

Although the streak of light flashed by in an instant, Minato, with his exceptional dynamic vision, managed to make out what appeared to be a kunai.

Using kunai to injure a Jinchuriki can only be associated with the rumors about Souji.

Faced with the Tailed Beast's attack from an extrely long distance, neither he nor Jiraiya could do anything but use Rashomon to barely defend themselves.

But how could Souji-san be able to injure a Jinchuriki from such a distance?

"If it really is Souji, then he is far superior to !" Minato thought to himself.

With the complete withdrawal of Iwagakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure, after a brief period of reorganization, they also withdrew one after another, thus ending the four-way war in the Land of Rain.

When Sunagakure first entered the Land of Rain, they had 7,000 n, but the battle went against them and they suffered repeated setbacks.

In this battle, they served as the vanguard and withstood the strongest counterattack from Iwagakure in its early stages, resulting in heavy casualties once again.

When they finally withdrew, there were fewer than 4,000 n left...

Although the battle was indeed a great victory, the Souji of Iwagakure's famous flying unit was killed, the Jinchuriki was seriously injured, and the Tsuchikage Onoki fled in a sorry state.

In such a great battle, the world wouldn't pay too much attention to the details of the process.

Therefore, even though these results had nothing to do with Sunagakure, it wasn't too difficult to portray the events as Sunagakure contributing a great deal of effort through propaganda and packaging.

In this way, the great victory they initially wanted was indeed achieved.

However, the casualties were far greater than expected!

Given the number of Kage-level shinobi in the three-way allied forces, such a huge loss should not have occurred.

This is all because Sunagakure served as the vanguard!

Acting Kazekage Rasa was not satisfied with the result, but there was nothing he could do.

He could only swallow his anger and resentnt towards Konoha.

Agakure relied almost entirely on Hanzo.

While they didn't achieve much in this battle, they also suffered minimal losses and successfully achieved their goal of getting the three major ninja armies to withdraw from the Land of Rain.

Furthermore, this war ended much faster than the one ten years ago, and both Iwagakure and Sunagakure suffered heavy losses.

They can't enter the Land of Rain to start another war in the short term, which is a situation that Agakure is very happy to see.

Hanzo was arguably the most satisfied with the outco of this battle.

The biggest loser in this battle was Iwagakure in the Land of Earth.

12,000 ninjas entered the Land of Rain.

There were 10,000 before the war. In this battle, the most proficient earth-style ninjutsu blocked the retreat.

The loss of ordinary ninjas was not too great, only about 2,000.

However, to cover the retreat of ordinary ninjas, high-ranking ninjas fought bravely to cover the rear, suffering heavy casualties, with more than 60% of them lost!

The elite earth-escape unit was reduced from 300 to barely 100, the demolition unit had only two mbers left out of nine, and the flying unit was completely wiped out!

The Jinchuriki was seriously injured, Kitsuchi was seriously injured, and the Tsuchikage Onoki fled in a sorry state.

The reputation he had built up in the ninja world over the decades was severely damaged here!

Although Konoha, as the main force, ultimately faced the crisis of the Tailed Beast Ball, it managed to overco the crisis safely with the help of a mysterious outsider.

When the 7,000 Konoha ninja entered the battlefield, the Iwagakure's counterattack force had already been greatly depleted by the Sunagakure.

Their initial steady advance did not result in significant losses, and in the end, only about 300 ordinary ninjas were killed or wounded.

As for the high-ranking ninjas, even fewer died, and most were only injured.

With such a casualty ratio, the war in the Land of Rain was successfully ended in just over a month.

Upon receiving the ssage, Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was very satisfied.

No one saw that Souji delivered the final blow that severely injured the Jinchuriki, so although so high-ranking Konoha ninjas had speculations, it did not spread.

However, before that, Souji used his sure-hit kunai technique to slaughter Iwagakure, killing more than 200 enemies, including the entire flying unit he single-handedly killed, including the elite Jonin Soseki who was the captain, as well as two Jonin squad leaders.

Such a record made Souji famous throughout the ninja world.

When you see a single point of light on the black kunai, it ans your death is imminent.

Therefore, the Souji received a new title.

'Black Death Star' Mochizuki Souji.
