Shota held his Yokai Rasengan in place while continuing to fly in the air and using his Erasure on everyone present.
He floated high above the battlefield, his hair and binding cloth drifting around him due to the anti-gravity field.
The traitors below looked up in fear and anger, but none of them could use their chakra as long as they remained in his line of sight. And currently everyone was in his line of sight.
With a gesture of his hand, the Yokai Rasengan shot forward like a guided missile.
It slammed into one of the chunin with terrifying force, blasting a clean hole straight through his chest.
The man barely had time to scream before he collapsed onto the sand. The spinning ball of spiritual chakra did not stop there. It moved through him toward another chunin who tried to run away desperately.
Without his chakra, the chunin could not match the speed of the flying Rasengan and was blasted with a hole in his chest as well. Blood sprayed across the desert floor as the man fell lifeless.
Shota could see that the Rasengan's power had lowered after two kills, so he gave it one last target with a flick of his fingers.
This time it flew toward one of the jonin. The jonin, however, was not some inexperienced shinobi. He had already analyzed the jutsu and recognized it as a variation of the Fourth Hokage's famous technique. And a jutsu that he knew Shota had mastered.
He could see the power of the jutsu had weakened significantly, so he knew the best way to counter it even without chakra.
He met the ball of fast-moving chakra with his tanto blade held firmly in both hands.
The Rasengan exploded against the sword in a burst of energy, but with its reduced power it only caused small burns on the jonin's arms and face. The jonin smirked as he looked up in the air at Shota, thinking he had successfully defended against the attack.
"Now then, what would you do about the second one?" Shota muttered quietly.
Another Yokai Rasengan that he had formed and left hovering in the air took charge with a flick of his other hand. This second ball shot down like lightning and blasted straight through the same jonin, who died with his eyes wide open in complete shock. The man fell backward onto the sand, a large smoking hole in his torso.
As Shota was about to direct the remaining energy of the jutsu toward more targets, he suddenly jumped higher in mid-air.
Vacuum bullets that would have drilled through his leg passed underneath him harmlessly.
He looked at the one responsible — Elder Daigo. Well, he could not look at him directly, and that was probably why Elder Daigo had managed to use his jutsu.
A jonin had taken down his cloak and was using the cloth to cover the entirety of Elder Daigo's figure, thus making it not visible to Shota's dojutsu.
The cloth had several holes in it through which Elder Daigo had shot his Vacuum Bullets through the fabric. Since Elder Daigo only knew where Shota was and could not see him clearly, he had gone for his legs since he could not see for a headshot.
Seeing this strategy, the other supporters of Elder Daigo were about to do the same thing and hide behind each other. 'A pitiful strategy,' Shota thought.
He raised his palm and fired, "Overheat!"
The red burning thick chakra strings moved forward like blazing spears and drilled a hole straight through the jonin who was trying to hide the elder.
The man screamed briefly before collapsing. "Now then, it is your turn," Shota said as the now revealed figure of Elder Daigo stood exposed once again.
Elder Daigo had the look of fear on his face, which slowly turned to even greater fear as he looked in the distance.
"Oi brat, these traitors are mine now," an old voice said as Shota saw an old woman appearing on the battlefield.
The traitors were now more scared than when Shota had taken all their chakra. Their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled as they recognized the newcomer.
Lady Chiyo had arrived, and her presence alone changed the entire mood of the fight. She stood tall despite her age and well.....short height.
Her eyes were burning with cold fury as she looked at the group that had framed her grandson and betrayed the village.
Shota watched with respect as Lady Chiyo took out a scroll and from it came ten different puppets. 'Ah, what an honour it would be to witness the famed White Secret Technique: The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets,' Shota thought as he decided to leave the rest to Chiyo baa-san.
He slowly floated down to the ground, his leg still aching from the vaccum bullets that drill through it.
The desert wind blew around him as he landed softly on the sand, watching the old woman prepare to deliver justice with her own hands.
He quickly applied some first aid to his wound to stop any more bleeding.
The remaining traitors tried to run or fight back, but against Lady Chiyo and her legendary puppet collection, they stood no chance.
Shota allowed himself a small, tired smile. He sat down on the warm sand, resting his tired body while the legendary puppeteer took over the fight completely.
