Yoshikawa Iwa immediately began to command his team: "Quick, speed up."
The next moment!
A layer of Lightning Release Chakra suddenly surged beneath his feet, and with a flash of his silhouette, he vanished from the spot.
Thud!
Where he had originally been standing, a blue-white Chakra Arrow was now firmly embedded.
He looked toward the handsome face on the high wall, illuminated by the Spirit Bow, and narrowed his eyes while contemplating a countermeasure.
On the high wall, Aokawa watched this scene.
He felt a bit of regret in his heart.
This was the first time his arrow had missed.
As expected, when an Elite Jonin was on guard, trying to shoot them down with ordinary arrows still presented a certain level of difficulty.
However, using a Holy Arrow with an attribute change was not cost-effective.
In a situation like this, Chakra was the most precious resource, and using large-scale Ninjutsu to kill just one person...
...was somewhat more of a loss than a gain.
Once the number of enemies was reduced, those with high individual combat power would naturally be handled by Shirakumo Hayama, Uchiha Hachidai, and the others.
He swallowed a few ration pills, feeling the Chakra in his body gradually recover.
He drew his bow once more!
This time, he locked his targets onto the ordinary Ninja.
The reaction speed of these people was not nearly as fast.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
One blue-white meteor after another continuously streaked across the night sky.
The Chakra Arrows were like a precise roll-call.
With every arrow fired, a Cloud Hidden Ninja was inevitably sent on their way.
Yoshikawa Iwa was fuming with rage as he saw the Ninja around him constantly falling.
He couldn't let him continue this suppression.
Ordinary Ninja simply couldn't outrun that bastard's arrows.
Moreover, every time the opponent raised his bow, he had to concentrate with his full attention to stay on guard, which was a massive drain on his mental energy.
"First squad members who know long-range Ninjutsu, suppress that kid for me and cover the subsequent teams as they cross the bridge!"
"Understood."
In an instant.
Over a dozen Ninja quickly performed hand signs, each unleashing the Ninjutsu they were best at.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Coil!"
"..."
A deluge of Ninjutsu came flooding toward the high wall.
Uchiha Hachidai, Shirakumo Hayama, and the rest of the group also took action one after another.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
"Vacuum Blade!"
"Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!"
"..."
Under this overwhelming barrage of attacks, Aokawa fired three arrows in succession, killing three Cloud Ninja.
"Quick! Attack the places where the blue light flashes!" a Ninja shouted.
For a time, dust rose everywhere on the Battlefield, and water vapor filled the air.
Aokawa dodged all the way from the east side of the wall to the west side.
Every time he raised his bow, a Cloud Ninja fell.
Watching this, Yoshikawa Iwa was burning with anxiety.
He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at that loathsome figure on the wall.
Suddenly!
He quickly performed hand signs with both hands!
A massive Lightning Dragon rose from the ground, flickering with bursts of lightning.
Yoshikawa Iwa gritted his teeth with a distorted expression, controlling the Lightning Dragon to charge toward the high wall: "Kid, how can you not die from this?"
The timing of the Lightning Dragon's release was extremely clever.
Just as Aokawa stood up, the Lightning Dragon was already lunging right at his face.
Startled, his first instinct was to use Hirenkyaku to leave.
But in the next moment, he forced himself to stop, released the bowstring with his left hand, and quickly performed several single-handed signs.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Yamanaka Shimi and Uchiha Inabi were currently releasing Ninjutsu to trade blows with the enemies below.
Facing this sudden and massive Lightning Dragon, panic appeared on their faces.
Just as the Lightning Dragon was about to collide with the three of them, a massive Water Dragon, even larger than the Lightning Dragon, appeared out of thin air.
Opening its bloody maw, it lunged straight up from below, accurately biting the Lightning Dragon's neck, and carried the Lightning Dragon high into the air while swaying its tail.
It then dove straight back down toward the Cloud Ninja who were releasing Ninjutsu below.
Boom!
After crashing into the ground, the two Chakra dragons transformed into a pool of water carrying an electrical charge.
The Water Release strengthened the Lightning Release and expanded the range of the electricity.
"Ah... ah!"
Screams rang out among the Cloud Ninja; they didn't know where this sudden surge of lightning-charged water had come from.
One second they were fighting hard, and the next they were electrocuted by the lightning-water into stiff corpses.
Uchiha Inabi watched this scene with wide eyes.
Brother!
You know Water Release too?
And on such a massive scale! This is ridiculous!
And it was single-handed signs again.
Yamanaka Shimi's emotional reaction on the side wasn't as large; he adjusted his sunglasses and nodded toward Aokawa: "Thank you!"
Aokawa also nodded in response, then turned to see Uchiha Inabi looking dumbfounded.
He immediately frowned and slapped him: "Say thank you!"
"Ah... what?"
"Say thank you!"
"Oh, oh, thank you!" Uchiha Inabi snapped out of it and gave his thanks.
Aokawa nodded and was about to speak.
The next moment, he suddenly performed hand signs again.
"Water Release: Water Wall!"
A screen of water rose directly from the wall, blocking several sudden Lightning Balls and turning them into water vapor.
Both sides attacked back and forth.
During this process, because Yoshikawa Iwa constantly arranged for teams to use long-range Ninjutsu to suppress Aokawa...
Aokawa's shooting environment was not safe, and he had to focus his energy on dodging and countering; therefore, he only killed a dozen or so more enemies.
Time passed bit by bit during the intense confrontation between the two sides.
Finally, all the Cloud Ninja personnel had crossed the bridge.
Looking at his team, which was now down to only a little over two hundred people, Yoshikawa Iwa felt an immense ache in his heart.
He looked at that loathsome figure on the high wall, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Everyone! Maintain distance from each other and attack with full force! Capture the high wall in one fell swoop!"
The Cloud Hidden Ninja were like a flood bursting a dam, roaring as they began their general offensive against the base.
On the high wall, everyone watched this scene, then looked at their own side which was down to only about 20 people; beads of sweat began to roll down their faces.
They knew the final battle had begun.
Aokawa watched the enemies advancing in a dispersed formation below and began to calculate the distance.
Suddenly.
Under everyone's disbelieving gazes, he suddenly took several steps back.
Following that, with a powerful run-up, he leaped off the high wall, soaring high into the air above the entire Battlefield.
"He's crazy!" everyone cried out in shock.
Below, Yoshikawa Iwa and Saga, seeing that the kid holding the Spirit Bow had actually leaped off the high wall, immediately burst into laughter: "This kid's under too much pressure, he's gone mad!"
The next moment.
An even more incredible scene occurred.
Aokawa, who had no way to gain leverage in mid-air, performed a strange flip with his body, turning into a head-down, feet-up posture.
His left hand pulled the bowstring, and a fiery red arrow was drawn out from the blue light.
In the next instant, blazing flames wrapped around the entire Spirit Bow.
In the night, the red firelight high in the sky was exceptionally dazzling, looking just like the descent of a Fire God.
He looked down at the enemies running toward the high wall with an indifferent expression, devoid of joy or sorrow, and the hand pulling the bowstring suddenly let go.
"Fire Release: Holy Arrow: Scatter!"
