Chapter 193: The Art of C3
"Whew… that was intense…"
Li Jiexuan panted heavily, picking up the kunai from the sand. The Flying Thunder God formula on it was still clearly visible. The Flying Thunder God Technique truly deserved its reputation as the number one space-time ninjutsu in the ninja world.
There had even been a conspiracy theory in his previous life—that the Fourth Hokage had been written to die simply because the Flying Thunder God was too overpowered…
Instant movement without hand seals, no cooldown—so long as you had enough chakra, you could even circle the ninja world twice in a single day. But now wasn't the time to study ninjutsu…
Turning to look behind him, the nearly ten thousand ninja were relentlessly chasing after Might Guy and the others. If he didn't act soon, they would truly be in danger.
"Retrieve Deidara's explosive art set!"
The previous training mission had only said to retrieve Gaara—it never specified whether he had to be alive or dead. Li Jiexuan extracted the reward from that mission. Aside from Deidara's self-destruction art, it included everything from the smallest clay spiders to the largest C4 Garuda.
"Using C4 would be a bit too extravagant…"
Li Jiexuan slowly floated above the entrance of the Sunagakure canyon. "Got it. I'll use this one instead—consider it fulfilling Deidara's unfinished artistic pursuit!"
"C3—No. 18!"
It was a small clay doll. Li Jiexuan tossed it straight down into the canyon. As it fell, the doll grew larger and larger, accelerating toward the ground.
At this moment, the Sand ninja chasing Uchiha Jing in the distance suddenly turned their heads. "What is that thing? Why is it inside the village?"
But before they could react…
"Art is an explosion!" Li Jiexuan grinned, raising two fingers. "Katsu!"
"BOOM!"
A terrifying explosion erupted. It was as if heaven and earth themselves were collapsing in that instant. Blazing flames shot into the sky, and everyone temporarily lost their vision.
When the light faded, no one could speak…
The entire canyon was gone!
That single C3 had completely exposed Sunagakure to the world, like a young woman stripped bare—no privacy left whatsoever!
"This… this is over!" The Sand ninja stood frozen. The only reason they had been able to resist Konoha's attacks was because of this natural canyon defense…
But now, it was gone. In a direct confrontation, they were no match for Konoha!
At that very moment, the Konoha Allied Forces summoned by Uchiha Jing arrived and assembled.
For a brief moment, an awkward silence spread. Konoha and Sunagakure had been fighting for years—they were practically old acquaintances. Now, standing before the ruins of the canyon, they simply stared at each other…
At a time like this, no matter how unwilling Uchiha Jing was to start another battle, he had no choice. The prey was right at his lips—there was no way to refuse it!
"Charge!"
Taking advantage of the Sand ninja's shattered morale, the Konoha forces surged forward. With barely any casualties, they captured all the Sand ninja in the village. Their very gates had been blown away—what was left to resist with…?
Such a perfect opportunity to gain fame—Li Jiexuan naturally wouldn't miss it. Summoning Garaga, he rode atop the snake's head, swaggering across the ruins toward the center of the village.
"I declare—Sunagakure has been conquered by me, Li Jiexuan!"
Sunagakure fell into deathly silence, while the Konoha forces erupted into cheers: "Li Jiexuan! Li Jiexuan!"
