Chapter 279 Suppressing the Akatsuki Organization (4)
Hundreds of meters away, spikes made of iron sand pierced the ground, forming a large, dense black forest.
Suddenly, the entire land bulged up like a balloon, and countless fountains burst forth from the ground, shattering the dense iron sand.
"Kazekage-sama!"
Seeing this commotion, Yecang and the others knew that Kazekage was engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy and were about to go to provide support when a sea of fire descended from the sky, igniting the road in front of them, forcing them to stop.
"Don't even think about taking another step forward!"
Tetsuka manipulated Susanoo, breaking free from the sand's entanglement, and raised his chakra sword with both hands, slamming it down fiercely.
As Yekura dodged Susanoo's attacks, she saw out of the corner of her eye that the battle between Kazekage and the enemy was getting further and further away. Knowing that Kazekage was at a disadvantage and had been driven far away by the enemy, she roared.
"Chisuke!"
Sensuke immediately replied, "Understood! Shukaku!"
Shukaku, now free, let out a triumphant howl and pointed at Susanoo.
"Roar! I'm going to kill this guy!"
Sensuke, seeing Shukaku's arrogance, loudly warned, "You better watch out, or you'll fall for the Sharingan's genjutsu!"
At the same time, Chisuke also gathered his own chakra, and once Shukaku was controlled by the Sharingan, he immediately helped Shukaku regain his senses.
"Tailed beasts, interesting."
With fighting spirit burning in his eyes, Tetsuka quickly formed hand seals and used the Shadow Clone Technique. Soon, two Tetsukas and Susanoo appeared on the battlefield.
One Ironfire attacks Leafa, while the other attacks Shukaku.
Facing the charging Susanoo, a mysterious pattern appeared on Shukaku's arm, and then he caught the blade with his bare hands, directly grabbing Susanoo's long sword.
Tiehuo glanced at the faintly glowing purple patterns on Shukaku's arm and said with some surprise, "Using the power of sealing techniques to protect yourself, interesting, but not enough!"
On Susanoo's shoulders, another pair of strong arms grew, gripping the long sword and slashing down once more.
"Yo ho! Four arms are no match for this great man!"
Shukaku laughed loudly, and two clumps of sand condensed on his stomach, growing two arms that once again gripped the long sword in front of him.
Just as Shukaku was about to open his mouth to mock him, Chisuke's curses suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Stupid cat, don't look into his eyes! You're under an illusion!"
Sensuke's chakra rapidly flowed into Shukaku's body, helping Shukaku break the genjutsu. Then he saw that no arms had grown on his stomach, so he couldn't stop Susanoo's new twin swords.
In the blink of an eye, the twin swords fell, precisely striking Shukaku's shoulders, severing them off and turning them into massive sand dunes that fell to the ground.
At this moment, Susanoo's original twin swords were also unleashed, and the four swords swept across Shukaku's heart and limbs, causing Shukaku's body to slam into the ground.
"Damn it, don't underestimate me! Sensuke, help me with the hand seals!"
Enraged, Shukaku completely ignored the long sword attacking its body and its precarious body riddled with holes. Instead, it manipulated the sand around it and on its body to rush towards Susanoo, instantly engulfing Susanoo's legs.
Feeling the heavy pressure on Susanoo's legs, Tetsuka frowned.
At this moment, Sensuke's upper body emerged from above Shukaku's head, and his hands began to form hand seals: "Great Burial Seal of the Desert Layer!"
The sand around Susanoo formed a pyramid shape and sealing runes appeared, instantly engulfing Susanoo's waist.
"A sealing technique? This is troublesome. I need to leave here first."
Ironfire prepared to retreat temporarily. Susanoo gripped its swords with both hands and slashed wildly at the surrounding sand. Each strike created a huge gash in the sand. At the same time, the long swords in its other two hands dissipated, and it began to clasp its hands together in preparation for forming hand seals.
Seeing that he couldn't seal the opponent immediately and that the opponent was about to counterattack, Chisuke shouted, "The seal cannot be completed, Shukaku!"
Shukaku's mouth gathered powerful chakra, forming a dark purple sphere that exuded a chilling aura.
"Tailed Beast Ball?! At this distance, it's best to avoid it."
Tetsuka murmured and immediately leaped backward, breaking free from Susanoo. At that moment, the Tailed Beast Ball also shot over.
The Tailed Beast Ball struck Susanoo, causing a massive explosion. Endless light and flames filled the entire world, and a fierce wind surged for thousands of meters. Sensuke and Tetsuka couldn't help but close their eyes.
In the sky, an eye made of sand floated by, and through this eye, Chisuke saw the location of Tetsuka.
"Sandfall Funeral!"
Numerous grains of sand rose into the air, surrounding the fiery iron in mid-air, completely enveloping it without leaving a gap. Then, immense pressure erupted from the sand, causing the center of the sand to suddenly collapse.
After the sand collapsed, it fell down, but there were no corpses or bloodstains inside. Chisuke's expression was not good.
"It's just a clone! It seems the real body is dealing with Yekura."
Sensuke rushed to support Yekura, who was in a sorry state as she and the other Sand Ninja were being chased and attacked by Tetsuka. Some Sand Ninja corpses were scattered on the battlefield.
Seeing Sensuke rushing towards him, Yekura immediately shouted, "Go and support the Kazekage!"
"Alright! Shukaku, let's go!"
Chisuke and Shukaku turned to look northeast, where huge tremors were occurring intermittently, like a series of earthquakes.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
Tekka would not let Chisuke leave, and endless flames rushed towards Shukaku. Shukaku manipulated sand to form a large semi-circular shield to cover itself.
The flames struck the shield, the intense heat melting the sand into a red lava that spread across the ground. Behind the shield, however, lay an empty space; there was no sign of Shukaku or Chisuke.
Just as Tetsuka was about to give chase, a large ring of fireballs appeared around Susanoo and encircled it.
The area that was hit by the fireball experienced a sharp increase in chakra consumption, and was even partially eroded.
Ye Cang raised his left hand, condensing a huge fireball with a diameter of tens of meters above his head.
"Stop right there!!"
Tetsuka snorted coldly, ignoring Chisuke, and turned to attack Yekura.
Chisuke temporarily exited Tailed Beast Mode, allowing Shukaku to return to his body, while he himself ran wildly. A minute or two later, he arrived at the edge of the battlefield, only to find that he was too late.
On the ravaged land, Orochimaru, who had lost his left arm, gripped a long sword in his right hand and pierced the Kazekage's heart from behind.
With injuries like that, Fengying is doomed.
Chisuke, however, felt nothing.
He is unaware that Chiyo and the others have already eliminated Yokura's forces.
Chisuke felt that the Kazekage was really cunning and shrewd. In recent years, he had not supported Yekura much, but instead watched Yekura and Chiyo fight each other and maintained a balance of power between the two sides.
If the Kazekage doesn't die, it's uncertain who will inherit the position, and it's hard to say whether Yekura will become the Kazekage.
Now that the Kazekage is dead, Sensuke plans to falsely claim the Kazekage's dying wish, appointing Yekura as Kazekage, and then return to wage civil war to wipe out Chiyo and the others.
"Quicksand waterfall!"
With a roar, Chisuke unleashed a massive surge of sand that blotted out the sky, charging toward Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was not in good condition, so he discarded his longsword and retreated continuously until he arrived beside Yahiko and Nagato.
The sand buried Kazekage's corpse and quickly teleported him to Chisuke's front. Chisuke grabbed the corpse, turned around, and ran without stopping for a moment.
The Wind Shadow has already been killed; if he stays, he'll only be throwing his life away.
"He's a Jinchūriki, we should capture him."
Orochimaru, feeling resentful at losing the Kazekage's body, urged Yahiko and Nagato to attack Sensuke.
Nagato was in the best condition, and with his Rinnegan, he looked at Orochimaru and issued a warning.
"Orochimaru, Yahiko is the leader, you must obey orders."
In the battle just now, the Kazekage was seriously injured and almost lost his fighting ability. Yahiko and Nagato wanted to stop to avoid the situation getting out of control, but Orochimaru suddenly attacked and killed the Kazekage.
Of course, the Kazekage's desperate struggle also severely injured Orochimaru.
Orochimaru not only lost an arm, but his body was also invaded by iron sand, greatly reducing his strength. That's why he fled in panic when facing Sensuke, not even caring about the Kazekage's corpse.
In battle, swords and blades have no eyes, so Orochimaru killing the Kazekage wasn't entirely wrong. Yahiko didn't intend to pursue the matter, but he wasn't planning to continue the killing spree, nor did he want to seize the One-Tailed Shukaku. Otherwise, he would truly be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Sand Village and restart the war.
