The Rock Ninja cursed angrily, "Those bastards from the Land of Rain, whose hearts have all gone soggy, have screwed us over completely."
Amidst the complaints, several Explosion Release Ninja quickly launched a counterattack.
A series of explosive clay and multiple overlapping Explosion ReleaseNinjutsu were thrown over the defensive earth wall towards the Rain Ninja.
Poor this ordinary town in the Land of Grass, how could it withstand such a commotion?
A large swath of streets and buildings was blasted into ruins by the violent explosions.
The Ninjutsu attacks from the Rain Ninja side were also completely suppressed by the Explosion Release Ninja.
The Rock Ninja were still feeling smug, but Hanzou on the opposite side had his mentality explode!
"Arrogant Rock Ninja, do you look down on this old man?"
Chiyo of the Land of Wind is at least a high-ranking elder of the Sand Ninja; I let her off to avoid having their Puppet Master go crazy.
The Sannin of Konoha are at least direct descendants of the Hokage; I let them off to avoid having the UchihaMangekyo and the White Fang of the Leaf go crazy.
At this moment, Hanzou was furious in his heart, "And what are you Rock Ninja supposed to be!"
"I paid to buy your ore, and you tried to negotiate terms with me. I met with you to talk, and you launched a sneak attack?"
"You really don't take the Demigod of the Ninja World seriously. Since you don't want to talk? Then I won't talk. If you don't want to sell, then I'll just take it by force."
When Hanzou let himself go, the Rock Ninja were in for a terrible time.
Hanzou didn't even need to summon Salamander Ibuse; he simply used his own Salamander toxins, causing several Rock Ninja's faces to turn green.
By the time Hanzou, wielding his scythe, charged into the Rock Ninja's earth wall, not a single one of the few unpoisoned Rock Ninja could withstand a single blow from Hanzou.
At this moment, Hanzou was mowing them down like grass, as if entering an empty realm.
It must be said.
Poverty can make a person overly rational!
Even after fighting to this state, Hanzou still hadn't given up on the possibility of negotiating with the Rock Ninja.
He didn't even chase the Rock Ninja who weren't poisoned, even though they were running away.
He just viciously grabbed a vomiting-blood Rock NinjaJonin and threatened him in an exceptionally cold tone.
"Go back and tell the Tsuchikage that if you don't agree to trade the ore, I will turn all the mines in the Land of Earth into abandoned pits flowing with poison."
After saying this, Hanzou forcefully crushed a Rock Ninja's skull, flicked his hand, and threw the Rock Ninja away.
"Get lost!"
Seeing the furious Hanzou going on a rampage, Danzo Shimura, who was hiding on the side, revealed a look of wariness.
"The Demigod of the Ninja World—although a bit exaggerated, ordinary Ninja are truly no match for him."
Watching Hanzou stop his attack and begin to treat the injured Rain Ninja, Danzo Shimura gave a secret smile and led Root to continue chasing in the direction of the Rock Ninja.
"Hanzou, when the Rock Ninja come back to search the battlefield, they will see your fresh blade marks."
At this time, Danzo was accompanied by two elite Jonin, four ordinary Jonin, and six Chunin from Root.
This number of people was simply not enough to completely annihilate the nearly thirty surviving Rock Ninja.
"If it weren't for that group of trash who can't even travel, these Rock Ninja would all be dead here!" Danzo was even more furious at the delay of the Root reinforcements.
The Rock Ninja fled very quickly; only after moving far away from the town in the Land of Grass did Danzo order the RootNinja to disguise themselves and attack.
On the sides of the mountain path, the Rock Ninja, who had stopped to treat their wounds, thought it was the Land of Rain going back on their word.
Faced with various Ninjutsu attacks, they fell into a panic and inexplicably scattered their formation.
Only the Explosion Release Ninja at the back of the group cautiously observed the opponents.
Looking at the variety of Ninjutsu, the Explosion Release Ninja "Zheng" felt increasingly strange in his heart.
"I will cover the rear; Yanhuo, you take the people and retreat at full speed."
The Explosion Release Ninja "Zheng" stopped his steps, turned his head with a determined expression, and formed hand seals.
[Explosion Release: Continuous Explosive Rocks]
[Explosion Release: Landmine Fist]
Two consecutive Explosion ReleaseNinjutsu instantly caused the RootNinja to pause.
The powerful explosive damage also directly killed a RootChunin who couldn't dodge in time.
Just when the Explosion Release Ninja was satisfied with his results, a completely transparent Ninja wielding a blade appeared abruptly on his right side.
"Not good, there's a special stealth Ninja." Zheng wanted to dodge, but only had time to shift slightly.
The blade light flashed!
Although the Explosion Release Ninja tried his best to dodge, his right forearm was still separated at the elbow without any obstruction!
Several blade-wielding RootNinja quickly surrounded Zheng.
However, because of the previous Explosion ReleaseNinjutsu, the narrow mountain path was filled with rugged rocks.
This rocky mountain path was unexpectedly difficult to traverse, forcing the RootNinja "Jia," who possessed the Transparent Release Kekkei Genkai, to dodge and retreat when facing the crazy counterattack of the Explosion Release Ninja Zheng.
Jia, carrying a bloody forearm, returned to a safe distance.
The visibility during the day was too good.
The Transparent Release Kekkei Genkai of the Gekko clan had too much of a disadvantage during the day; he could only disable one of the opponent's arms first to limit their ability to form hand seals.
This cautious and non-greedy fighting style made the Explosion Release Ninja even more terrified.
"This is troublesome!"
The Explosion Release Ninja gritted his teeth, forcefully contracted his muscles, and used a bandage from his clothes to compress the wound and stop the bleeding.
The RootNinja Jia, using a disguised hoarse voice, continued to order, "Leave two people to kill him, and the rest continue to pursue the Rock Ninja."
The Explosion Release Ninja Zheng shook his neck and quickly formed hand seals with one hand using his blood-stained left hand.
In less than a second, he created two Earth Clones.
"One-handed hand seals?"
The RootNinja Yi narrowed his eyes, "We've encountered an expert."
Two Earth Clones blocked the already narrow mountain path tightly.
"Zheng" revealed a ferocious expression.
He looked at the group of RootNinja, seemingly having the idea of a "suicide attack."
"Idiots, do you think you can kill me with just two people? It's just one hand; I can still blow you all to death!"
The RootNinja, except for Danzo himself, were led by the strongest, Jia and Yi.
Facing the fearless Rock Ninja covering the rear, the two could only prioritize solving the trouble in front of them.
"Attack!"
Before Jia's voice had finished falling, the severed Rock Ninja arm that had just landed at his feet suddenly exploded!
Countless bits of flesh and bone fragments splattered.
The terrain of the Land of Grass was extremely similar to the Land of Earth; mountain streams, vegetation, and rocks could all become additional lethality for the Explosion Release Ninja to unleash Ninjutsu.
All of it was additional shrapnel!
A secret technique of "Severed Limb Self-Destruction" blew Jia's left leg into a serious injury.
Although there was only one Explosion Release Ninja, holding a belief of certain death, he revealed a powerful aura of "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand unable to enter."
"One arm for one of your legs, how about it, is it worth it?"
Worthy of being an Explosion Release Ninja named "Zheng," his smile at this moment was extremely ferocious.
"Want to kill me? Pay with your lives."
Zheng formed hand seals with one hand, and with a slightly less powerful Explosion Release: Landmine Fist, smashed a large hole over a person's height into the RootNinja's Earth Wall.
Rocks and chunks of earth injured the RootChunin who could not dodge in time.
[Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld]
"Yi," enduring the exploding rocks, risked injury to forcibly release the Ninjutsu.
He trapped Zheng and his Earth Clones instantly.
[Two-Stage Slash: Reverse Cut]
"Jia," whose left leg had been blown up, used some unknown secret technique to forcibly control his damaged left leg and rushed up using the Body Flicker Technique!
With just one slash, he cut a forearm-length wound on the right side of Zheng's abdomen.
With a muffled grunt, the Rock Ninja was seriously injured this time.
The large wound on his abdomen even allowed one to see the wriggling internal organs.
Until this moment, the cautious Danzo Shimura still had not appeared.
Uchiha Fucheng and his group, who had tracked them all the way here, were naturally patient enough.
Wait!
Except for a few Misaka Sisters who were approaching by sneaking underground, the rest of the people all blended into the mountain forest.
