Uchiha Ling saw that both sides had already started a chaotic battle, and the remnants of the Hidden Sand Village were also planning to give up escaping and fight to the death, so she naturally stopped her Ninjutsu bombardment.
At this point, it was time to create disabled Ninja. To prevent them from being completely killed, Uchiha Ling's speed had to be fast, otherwise, there would probably be very few captives.
Uchiha Ling's Shadow Clones first threw many Flying Thunder God Kunai into the crowd. The Shadow Clones used the Flying Thunder God Technique and swordsmanship, rapidly slaughtering these Sand Ninja of varying strengths.
Uchiha Ling's efficiency in cutting people was too high. Whenever she teleported to a Flying Thunder God Kunai position, a flurry of blood and screams would immediately erupt around her.
In short, severed limbs and broken legs flew everywhere, followed by sealing their Chakra and minor hemostasis. Originally, there were very few Hidden Sand Village Ninja.
Now, facing Uchiha Ling's Shadow Clone's central blossoming operation, they were quickly completely scattered, even Pakura and Ebizo, who were fighting bloody battles.
Pakura had been leading some elites, intending to break through the encirclement with Ebizo. Her Scorch Release: Fireball was indeed incredibly powerful and agile, killing anyone it touched and evaporating a part of their body if it grazed them.
However, Orochimaru had already discovered Pakura and Ebizo's positions. It could be said that as long as these two were captured alive, the war with the Hidden Sand Village would end.
So Orochimaru naturally gave up on slaughtering the small fries and directly transformed his legs into snake tails, swimming over at a rapid speed.
Uchiha Ling's main body also noticed Pakura's attempt to escape, and Pakura had also said she wanted to duel her. The kind Uchiha Ling could only grant her request.
Pakura evaporated the last two Konoha Chunin who were blocking her into dried corpses, and immediately prepared to flee without looking back. Her beloved disciples were waiting for her back in the Village, and she couldn't fall here.
Unfortunately, at this moment, a figure descended from the sky, blocking her path and making both Pakura and Ebizo temporarily stop their escape.
"So it's you! Uchiha Ling! With a bounty of 320 million Ryo, my unit was defeated because of your bombardment! Konoha actually dared to send you to the battlefield. Today, this old man will eliminate you for the Hidden Sand Village!"
Ebizo, as the Hidden Sand Elder in charge of intelligence, naturally knew about Uchiha Ling's information. With new and old grudges combined, Ebizo intended to sacrifice his life to eliminate Uchiha Ling here.
"Oh, it's me. I am the strongest in the Ninja World with a bounty of 320 million Ryo, Uchiha Ling! Are the two of you in a hurry to go home for dinner? Why are you leaving so quickly?"
Uchiha Ling alone blocked the path of two Kage-level Ninja and four or five Jonin, but she showed no signs of fear. Instead, she greeted them as if nothing was wrong.
"Stop talking nonsense! You dare to come to the ground, today I must kill you for the many sacrificed Ninja of the Village!"
Pakura was ruthless and spoke little. She directly controlled the Scorch Release: Fireball to attack Uchiha Ling. Unfortunately, although the Scorch Release: Fireball was faster than ordinary Fire Release, it still couldn't compare to Uchiha Ling's speed.
Uchiha Ling easily dodged the combined strangulation of four Scorch Release: Fireball. With one sword strike, she unleashed a wind blade like a bolt of silk, directly interrupting the Hidden Sand Village Jonin's attempts to form hand signs.
"Scorch Release is indeed powerful, but if it can't hit anyone, it seems very ordinary."
Uchiha Ling estimated that Pakura's strength was only at the bottom tier of a regular Kage, or perhaps just a quasi-Kage. However, her attack power was indeed Kage-level, but other aspects were mediocre.
Uchiha Ling's speed was too fast. Even without using Swift Release: Downwind, her sheer physical speed and the enhancement of the Wind Release Chakra Mode alone could make Pakura struggle to cope.
One must know that two Kage-level Ninja and four Hidden Sand Village Jonin were fighting Uchiha Ling simultaneously, yet they were now bogged down here. Faced with Uchiha Ling's extreme speed, they could only barely use some low-level Ninjutsu with fewer hand signs to respond.
Ebizo spat out wind bullets, trying to restrict Uchiha Ling's movement range and provide an opportunity for Pakura's excessive evaporation and killing. Unfortunately, facing Uchiha Ling's exquisite Gale Sword Technique, any Ninjutsu was easily split apart.
This kind of highly skilled swordsmanship and incredibly fast movement reminded him of a man whom both the Hidden Sand Village and he hated immensely: Sakumo Hatake.
Ninjutsu-type Ninja, when facing this type of assassin-type Ninja in close combat, truly felt incredibly stifled. They simply had no time to form hand signs and unleash large-scale Ninjutsu.
At this moment, the six Sand Ninja were confined within a certain area by Uchiha Ling's extreme speed and Wind Release sword aura. Anyone whose hand sign formation time exceeded two seconds would face a sword aura from Uchiha Ling and be forced to abandon their hand signs.
Even if they formed hand signs simultaneously, they would receive the same treatment. The Wind Release sword aura unleashed by Uchiha Ling consumed little Chakra, was fast, and its power was comparable to ordinary B-rank Ninjutsu.
So they could only struggle to cope. The Scorch Release: Fireball would also be split open, and although Pakura could still control it to reform, it ultimately couldn't inflict effective damage on Uchiha Ling.
"What kind of monster is she? Her speed is too fast! We can't hit her at all, but we have to deal with her single sword aura with all our might!"
One Sand Ninja Jonin's mentality was broken, mainly because Orochimaru was already approaching from behind. If they didn't run now, they wouldn't have a chance to run.
"Konoha is too incredible. She's only a little over seven years old, yet she has Kage-level strength. Can our Hidden Sand Village really defeat Konoha?"
The four Sand Ninja Jonin were on the verge of losing morale. If it weren't for Pakura and Ebizo's special care, they might have already suffered casualties.
"Don't talk nonsense! Today, even if we sacrifice our lives, we must eliminate this future great enemy of the Hidden Sand Village here!"
Just as the leading Sand Ninja Jonin was trying to rekindle the fighting spirit of the three, his words were overheard by Uchiha Ling. So, to break their confidence, Uchiha Ling decided to give him a cruel package.
Uchiha Ling unleashed dozens of sword auras, scattering the attacking Drilling Air Bullet and Scorch Release: Fireball. Then, with a Swift Release: Downwind Body Flicker Technique, she instantly appeared in front of the Sand Ninja Jonin who was trying to rally morale.
In the terrified face of this Sand Ninja, Uchiha Ling slowly raised the Ame no Habakiri in her hand, and then a light like the sun bloomed from the blade.
This Sand Ninja Jonin was instantly blinded, but in reality, they had only fallen for the Genjutsu: Blazing Sun, directly blinding the four Hidden Sand Village Jonin who saw the blade.
Even Pakura and Ebizo were dazzled. If Uchiha Ling's target had been them, they would have been injured or severely wounded by now.
In mere milliseconds, Uchiha Ling flashed out four afterimages, passing through the four blinded Sand Ninja Jonin. Just as Uchiha Ling turned her back and sheathed her sword after a blood flick, a series of screams came from behind her.
The screams also woke up Pakura and Ebizo, who were in a state of blindness. After dispelling the Genjutsu, they realized that the palms of the four Jonin had all been severed.
Uchiha Ling crippled four Jonin in an instant, shattering Ebizo's idea of a mutual annihilation. He realized that he simply couldn't take Uchiha Ling's life.
Two Kage-level Ninja and four Jonin fought against a seven-year-old girl, yet within a dozen seconds, four of them were crippled, and they realized that Uchiha Ling still had strength to spare.
