"Alright, it's too dangerous here. I have to take you two away."
Iruka grabbed one in each hand and started walking out.
"Let go of me!"
Naruto shouted and struggled.
Meanwhile, Sasuke kept muttering a name, "Akagi... Shinji, Akagi... Jashin?"
Could the person he saw in his dream be real?
He couldn't help but recall the strange symbol in his dream, which was identical to the one he saw on the back of the other person's neck!
"I must figure this out!"
...
Within the Domain - Heavenly Wheel Sand Timer.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was panting, his body stained with blood.
Although he paid a heavy price, he had discovered a way to deal with the enemy's unavoidable attacks.
That is, at the moment of being hit, counterattack to destroy the sand blades or other projectiles.
This way, although he would still be injured, it would only be superficial wounds, not a direct kill.
Although still very passive, it was the best method Hiruzen Sarutobi could think of at the moment.
Even so, some people still collapsed from blood loss due to severe injuries.
More importantly, he discovered another situation.
The sand beneath their feet was actually constantly sinking. Even if they hadn't noticed it at first, they could be sure of it now.
He didn't know what the outcome would be if the sand continued to sink, but it was unlikely to be good.
"Sand Transformation Jutsu: Hell Sand Spike Spear!"
"Ah!"
In a moment of distraction, the enemy hiding in the sand attacked again. Countless sand spike spears shot out from the yellow sand beneath their feet, more troublesome than the sand blades in the air.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were pierced and killed.
After all, to minimize damage, one had to counterattack the moment they were attacked. This was extremely difficult, and a moment's carelessness would lead to regret.
Due to his momentary distraction, Hiruzen Sarutobi also got a bloody hole in his leg, making the situation even more dire.
And just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was contemplating how to force the enemy out, a sound like shattering glass suddenly came from above.
Looking up, he saw someone appear?
"Akagi Shinji? It's him?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised, but the person who jumped in behind him made his expression change.
"Asuma?!"
In his eyes, Asuma's reckless behavior was like suicide!
As expected!
Before the person even landed, dozens of sand blades whistled and flew out, attacking with near-instantaneous speed.
And most of them were aimed at Shinji, with only a few sand blades cutting Asuma.
Puff!
Asuma immediately bled in the air, falling to the ground, his vision going black.
In fact, he had always been skeptical of what Shinji had said earlier.
But now he finally understood why he had said that.
The unavoidable, inescapable attacks were simply too terrifying.
However, Shinji didn't care about these sand blades at all. He drew the Executioner's Blade and swung it a few times, shattering all the incoming sand blades.
"How can this be?"
Seeing this, not only the surviving Konoha ninjas were stunned, but even Cyber, hiding in the sand, was shocked.
"No, this is impossible!"
With a roar, a giant sand giant rose from the yellow sand.
As the saying goes, enemies meet and their eyes burn with hatred!
Now that the enemy had actively entered his domain, he couldn't continue to hide.
Of course, staying within the body of the sand giant didn't count.
"Sand Transformation Jutsu: Hell Sand Spike Spear!"
Countless sand spike spears shot out from the yellow sand beneath their feet again. This time, however, the target was only one person.
"Hahaha, boring trick."
Shinji laughed heartily and ran directly towards the sand giant, but not a single one of those sand spike spears could touch him.
Without the unavoidable effect, everything returned to the starting point.
"Die!"
The sand giant stomped down fiercely, trying to crush Shinji, but Shinji leaped up, his expression solemn.
Ten-Stroke Technique - Falling Falling!
In Shinji's eyes, the light spot at the 7:3 position was infinitely magnifying.
Slash!
Swish!
One leg of the sand giant was directly severed by Shinji's slash, shocking everyone.
"It's not over yet!"
Shinji roared and leaped again after landing.
Ten-Stroke Technique - Falling Falling!
With another slash, the other leg of the sand giant was also severed.
The sand giant then crashed to the ground with a boom.
"Cyber, look what I have here?"
"Give it back!"
The moment he saw the Snakeskin Sword, Cyber fell into a state of extreme rage.
Although it felt somewhat unfamiliar, he knew this sword was his Golden Snake Sword.
However, Shinji used the Snakeskin Sword to reactivate the Ten-Stroke Technique and thrust it into the sand giant's chest.
Whoosh.
The sand giant collapsed directly. The grasping hand turned into yellow sand before it could touch Shinji and flowed down.
Cyber was finally exposed to Shinji's vision.
A large amount of curse power condensed in his throat.
"Water Release!"
Just as Cyber was about to say something, a stream of water gushed out from his body the moment he opened his mouth.
He finally realized what was happening and wanted to merge back into the yellow sand.
But Shinji was not going to give him that chance.
"Immobilize!"
Unable to sand transform, Cyber was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.
"Sleep!"
Cyber's vision immediately went black, and his tense body instantly relaxed.
At this moment, Shinji, who quickly appeared before him, ruthlessly thrust the Snakeskin Sword into Cyber's eye socket and then gouged it out with force!
"Ah!"
In extreme pain, Cyber, who had been desperately resisting sleep with sheer willpower, suddenly woke up.
His eye had been gouged out?!
Endless rage caused Cyber to gradually lose his mind. A massive surge of curse power poured out, flowing into the yellow sand beneath his feet.
At this, everyone felt the sand beneath their feet sinking at an extremely rapid pace.
"Die!"
Quicksand?
No, it must be more than that!
Although he didn't know what the opponent had done, Shinji's intuition told him that if all the sand flowed away, he might also die here.
He had originally been considering whether to try and capture this guy with a Master Ball. After all, Cyber in his prime was the strongest curse spirit he had ever encountered, even slightly stronger than Dagon.
Of course, if Dagon continued to grow, the outcome between the two would be unpredictable.
But now, there was likely no opportunity for that.
Under the opponent's fiery gaze, Shinji aimed the Snakeskin Sword at Cyber and instantly activated [Golden Snake Dance].
A fierce golden viper shot out, biting towards Cyber.
