The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 456 First Battle



Chapter 456 First Battle

Suddenly, Qianyao stomped his foot on the ground and rushed towards the Sand Village's group like an arrow!

Its speed was as fast as lightning, instantly closing the distance between it and the enemy.

At this moment, Hinata, who was in the group, activated her Byakugan, which allowed her to clearly perceive all the subtle changes around her.

She quickly explained to her teammates:

"The kunai of Sunagakure are all connected with chakra threads; this is the Sunagakure Puppet Technique."

Since Sasuke and Naruto couldn't see the chakra threads and were too far away to perceive them with their own senses, Hinata's explanation was very important.

On the other side, Gaara stared intently at the intense battle scene ahead with a serious expression.

He is no longer the ninja who was loyal to Sunagakure, but has become a pure Konoha resident.

More precisely, he already considered himself a member of the Uchiha clan.

He felt nothing but resentment towards his former hometown, Sunagakure.

At this moment, he was filled with anticipation that Lord Chiyo would be able to defeat the Sand Village forces and make them flee in disarray.

For this expedition, Qianyao specially brought this group of young children with him to the battlefield.

Although these children are still somewhat immature, given time, after being tempered and refined by the flames of war, they will surely grow into an indestructible backbone of Konoha Village.

Among these children, Karin's special abilities are particularly noteworthy.

She not only possesses extraordinary perception, but also has superb healing skills.

For this reason, her role in the team is that of an indispensable support and medical professional.

Qianyao, all alone, charged towards the densely packed crowd of Sunagakure like a bolt of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, Chiyo and Chiyo's wielding blades clashed in close combat.

With a crisp clang, Qianyao swiftly drew his weapon and began to swing it rapidly.

The clanging and banging sounds were incessant.

The kunai shot at him were all deflected by his sharp swordsmanship.

However, all of these kunai were covered with chakra threads, and once they were knocked away, Chiyo would pull them back instantly.

But all of this was exactly what Qianyao had expected; what he wanted to gain was this brief respite.

Suddenly, Qianyao exerted force with both feet, and his body soared into the air like a lithe eagle, leaping straight into the center of the Sand Village's ranks.

Immediately afterwards, he sheathed his sword and formed a hand seal:

"Fire Release: Demon Lantern!"

In an instant, he seemed to transform into a huge, raging fire, which exploded in mid-air.

This ball of flame, like a giant fire meteor falling from the sky, crashed down on the Sand Village team below with unparalleled force.

And supported by the vast and powerful chakra of Chiyo.

The fireballs, which were originally only the size of a fist, have now all swelled to the size of a basketball.

Like countless scorching cannonballs, they rained down upon the Sand Village members.

In an instant, screams and cries of agony rose and fell from the Sand Village's ranks.

Flames soared into the sky, smoke billowed, and the whole scene was in complete chaos.

Chiyo remained calm, her eyes fixed intently ahead as she quickly analyzed the situation.

Seeing that her attack was ineffective against the enemy, Chiyo made a quick decision and abandoned the technique without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, she made a series of complex hand gestures towards Yekura to direct the team.

At the same time, she reached into her ninja tool pouch with her other hand and pulled out a scroll.

The scroll has a prominent character "封" (seal) and the words "十机" (ten machines) written on its surface.

Chiyo suddenly unfurled the scroll.

As she formed a hand seal, a dazzling light suddenly shone forth.

In an instant, ten puppets of different shapes and dressed in white appeared in the center of the previously empty field.

These puppets are none other than the legendary Chikamatsu Ten!

These are masterpieces created by Bunka-emon, the progenitor of puppeteers, with each one containing immense power and exquisite mechanical design.

Chiyo knew that these puppets were no match for Chiyo, so she did not rush directly to Chiyo's location.

Instead, he led the Chikamatsu Ten, charging straight towards Konoha's forces like a surging torrent.

On the other side, Yekura was equally determined, receiving orders from Chiyo.

She led another team, closely following Chiyo's steps, and also charged towards the Konoha team.

Faced with the overwhelming enemy, the people of Konoha dared not be careless. They quickly drew their weapons, stood ready, and prepared for a fierce battle.

Although Chiyo was not present at the time, Konoha's command system was still operating smoothly.

Strangely, the person in charge was wearing a mask, making it impossible to see his true face.

"Left flank four teams retreat immediately, right flank three teams also retreat quickly! Everyone change formation to form a circular defensive formation!"

The commander's voice rapidly issued orders, echoing across the battlefield.

"Those facing forward, get ready and throw your ninja tools in the correct order, but be careful to control the amount you throw; only use one-third of the total!"

As soon as the order was given, the ninjas in the front row took out various ninja tools of different shapes and functions from their waists and backs, such as shuriken and kunai.

They then methodically hurled the projectiles toward the enemy, following instructions.

"Keep the antidote bottle open and ready. If you or your teammates are poisoned, don't panic. Slowly retreat to the rear area to receive treatment!"

Upon hearing this, the ninjas checked the antidotes they carried to ensure they were readily available.

Amidst this tense yet orderly rapid deployment, the Konoha ninjas responded immediately, cooperating with the efficiency of a precisely functioning machine.

Although some people are curious about who this commander is.

But everyone knows that they are on the battlefield at this moment, and the other side is the commander appointed by the Hokage. Obeying orders is the most important thing.

As newcomers stepping onto the battlefield for the first time, Naruto and Sasuke were inevitably filled with excitement and anticipation.

Fortunately, they both have one commendable quality—they are obedient.

After all, Qianyao had warned them that if they disobeyed orders and ran around recklessly, they might soon miss witnessing this fierce battle.

At this moment, the two closely followed the medical unit, positioned at the rear of the entire team, constantly moving back and forth as the battle situation changed.
