Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

The tranquility of the forest was completely ripped apart by the loud noise of the explosion, and the destructive force swept across the entire area like a violent storm.

The panicked creatures fled in all directions, their cries blending into the chaos, adding a shadow of uncertainty to the battlefield.

The members of Hatake Sakumo's team felt their hearts tighten involuntarily, and their faces were full of tension and worry.

Senior Sakumo's eyes flashed with worry, he knew that the direction of the explosion was exactly where Rope Tree was tracking the enemy. However, the situation was equally urgent, the enemy in the dark cunningly used the environment, and he had to protect the two people around him, which severely restricted his actions.

"Suzuran, have you found the enemy's location?" Senior Sakumo asked anxiously while fending off the flying ninja tools.

"Captain, not yet." There was a hint of guilt in Hinata Suzuran's voice. Her eyes searched in the smoke, but it was difficult to penetrate the obstacles.

"The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is nothing more than this." Uchiha Yan's voice revealed a hint of disdain, and his eyes flashed with the light of the Sharingan. "If it can't solve the problem, then just destroy it all."

"Fire Style. Phoenix Fire Jutsu!" With a low shout from Uchiha Yan, countless tiny fireballs gushed out of his mouth.

These fireballs were like a group of released phoenixes, and under his precise control, they flew towards the trees in all directions. The moment they touched the trees, the flames spread rapidly, turning the entire forest into a sea of ​​fire.

The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the surrounding darkness, but also causing trouble for the enemy's hiding places. The heat waves and smoke from the fire rolled in the air, adding more variables to this chaotic battlefield.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Uchiha En's bold move, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. There was a hint of surprise in his voice, but also praise: "This is really a reckless guy, but well done! Let's take this opportunity to meet up with Yanagishita and the others."

Uchiha En and Hyuga Suzuran responded quickly to Hatake Sakumo's orders. Their figures shuttled through the flames and took this opportunity to rush straight to the explosion site.

The fire was like a raging beast, raging in the forest, lighting up the night like day. At the edge of the sea of ​​fire, several ninjas wearing Sand Village forehead protectors faced the spreading fire, their faces full of urgency and anger.

"Damn it, how can these people have no sense of civilization and public morality! Vice Captain Yuki, Captain Shuichi, it seems that we can't continue with the kite tactics, what should we do?" A ninja from the Sand Village roared, his eyes fixed on the figures of Sakumo's team, his eyes flashing with unwillingness and anger.

"What are you thinking, idiot? Stop them!" The ninja known as Captain Shuichi shouted, his voice full of command. "The four of you, attack the two Konoha Chunins in pairs. Yuki, the two of us will work together to control Hatake Sakumo. Remember, don't fight him in close combat. I'll use puppetry and you use ninjutsu to contain him."

"Use ninjutsu to deal with them!" Captain Shuichi's voice was full of command.

Following Captain Shuichi's order, the ninjas of the Sand Village quickly took action. A pair of ninjas formed seals with their hands at the same time, and shouted, "Earth escape. Earth flow river!"

Following the shout, the ground began to shake, and the soil rolled and gathered, as if a giant dragon underground was awakened, pushing down all obstacles in front of it and rushing towards Hinata Lily of the Valley. Wherever the soil flowed, trees fell down and the earth trembled.

At the same time, another team of ninjas also started their offensive, "Wind Style: Wind Blade". Dozens of sharp small chakra blades came out of their mouths and attacked the enemy with a whistling wind.

They used chakra to turn the wind into blades, and everything along the way was cut by invisible sharp blades, aiming directly at Uchiha Yan. The wind blades passed through the air, leaving transparent cuts, as if even the air itself could be cut.

Shuichi and Yuki cooperated tacitly. Shuichi controlled the delicate puppetry: "Puppetry. Manipulate the Blade!"

Countless kunai popped out from the puppet's arms in an instant, and were pulled by the chakara lines to launch fatal attacks at Hatake Sakumo at different angles, but the danger was silent.

Vice Captain Yuki was preparing ninjutsu on the side, ready to give Hatake Sakumo a fatal blow at the critical moment. Their tactics were clear and they cooperated well, which was obviously a result of careful planning and training.

......

Liangyu stood on the scorched earth bombed by the explosion talisman, surrounded by the smoke and dust after the explosion. He thought to himself that the little boy named Naroki should not be able to survive. Although Naroki is the grandson of the legendary ninja god, according to intelligence, his strength is only at the level of Chunin. Such an explosion is more than enough to deal with a powerful Jonin like himself.

"This brat should be dead now, we can just deal with the other one." Liang Yu ordered in a cold voice, his voice revealed a hint of pride and contempt, "You two, take the body of the brat away. Since he is a descendant of the Senju clan, he must be worth studying. Let's go support Shuichi and the others, Master Kazekage is still waiting for our report."

However, when he turned around and wanted to give another order, he found that the two Chunins he brought did not respond. "Are you two deaf? Why..."

Liang Yu's words stopped abruptly. He turned his head sharply and saw that the two Chunins had fallen in a pool of blood, their eyes full of fear and unwillingness. The bait left by Sheng Shu to anger him had also disappeared. This scene gave Liang Yu a sense of foreboding. He quickly looked around, alert to any possible threats.

However, at this moment, a calm and indifferent voice sounded from behind him: "Do you think that the ninjas of the Senju clan can be dealt with so easily?" There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in the voice.

"clang!"

Yanagishita easily blocked the kunai that Liangyu swung subconsciously. His movements were quick and precise, showing his superb physical skills.

Liu Xia's eyes were as sharp as knives as he stared at the ninja in front of him, suppressing the endless anger in his heart: "Who told you the information! Tell me, and I can spare your life." His voice was low, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of threats.

If he hadn't carved the Flying Thunder God Mark on Rope Tree, Rope Tree might have really died in this explosion. But now, Yanagi is more concerned about who leaked his information to the enemy village. Was it an internal spy? Or that insidious Shimura Danzo?

Liuxia's eyes flashed with determination, and he had prepared for the worst. No matter who leaked the information, he would track it down to the end, for Rope Tree and for the glory of Konoha.

"Oh, you must be Yanagishita, it seems like Shuichi and Yuki, those two losers, failed to stop you. But if you think you are invincible with space ninjutsu, then you underestimate our Sand Village!"

"Wind Escape·The air currents are dancing!"

As he spoke, Liang Yu suddenly blew a strong wind from his mouth, blowing up dust all over the sky, obscuring his vision. His figure became blurred in the wind and sand, giving himself a chance to distance himself. He skillfully formed seals with his hands, and wind blades quickly formed between his fingers, ready to launch an attack.

"Wind Release·Wind Blade!"

Sharp wind blades condensed at Liangyu's fingertips. They were like the scythe of the god of death, cutting through the air and pointing straight to the willow tree with a whistling sound caused by the speeding.

The wind blades were extremely fast and arrived in front of Liuxia almost as soon as they were formed, tearing through the air as if even time could be cut by them.

There was a glimmer of pride in Liangyu's eyes, as if he had seen Liuxia's body being cut by the wind blade. However, at this critical moment, Liuxia's figure suddenly disappeared at the moment when the wind blade was about to touch him, as if he had never existed in that space.

"I'm sorry, space ninjutsu can do whatever you want!" Liuxia's voice echoed in the air, and his figure flickered around Liangyu, as elusive as a ghost.

Liangyu's eyes widened, and an unprecedented fear surged in his heart. He was unable to react at all, and only felt a sharp pain coming from his limbs.

Liuxia had used his Flying Thunder God Technique to appear silently beside Liangyu, and with lightning speed, he cut off Liangyu's limbs with four consecutive slashes.

Blood gushed out of Liangyu's broken limbs like a fountain. Without his legs, he was unable to support himself and fell to the ground in pain. His eyes were full of disbelief and despair, mixed with painful sweat and dirt. He had never thought that he would be defeated so thoroughly and so quickly, defeated by Liuxia's sword.

Liu Xia held the sword in his hand, his movements were graceful and deadly, and he sheathed the sword in one go, without a trace of hesitation. He stood in front of Liang Yu, like a calm judge.

"Tell me now who leaked our information. I will give you a quick death." Liu Xia's voice was calm, but it carried unquestionable power.

However, there was no fear in Liangyu's eyes, only determination and loyalty. His voice was weak but very clear: "Don't even think about it! The honor of Sand Village cannot be tarnished. Just guess it yourself, hahahaha." There was a hint of contempt and challenge in his laughter.

Amidst the laughter, Liang Yu bit down the poison in his mouth without hesitation. It was the latest masterpiece from Chiyo, a deadly poison specially prepared for ninjas. He vomited blood, his eyes gradually lost their luster, and finally ended his life on this chaotic battlefield.

Liuxia stood beside the fallen enemy, watching him choose to end his life without hesitation, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He blamed himself and thought: "Damn it, it seems that next time I have to break these people's jaws first. It seems that cutting off limbs is too merciful."

"Shengshu, take the child with you, let's go to the captain."

"Well, let's go."

Sheng Shu's voice was low, he held tightly the only surviving child, the child lay quietly in his arms, unconscious. Sheng Shu's face no longer had the smile of the past, instead it was replaced by deep regret and sadness.

"Shengshu, this is not your fault, it's the world that is sick!"

Sheng Shu stopped, his eyes flashing with doubt about the past and desire for the future: "Xiao Xia, I know you have been different from me since you were a child. You have been smarter and more hardworking than me. When I was in the village, I thought my grandfather's way was right, but now..." His voice choked and he could not continue.

Yanagishita took a deep breath, his eyes became firm and deep: "No, this world can be saved. But Lord Hashirama is on the wrong path. What the ninja world needs is not balance, but unification!"

His words were like morning bells and evening drums, awakening the faith deep in Sheng Shu's heart.

Shengshu was deeply moved by Liuxia's words. He looked down at the child in his arms and the innocent lives that had fallen. An unprecedented determination surged in his heart.

"I will help you, in the name of the Thousand Hands!"

"I believe you, but now save those people before the captain kills them. We need intelligence."
