"Wafu, Aokawa, listen up!I'll deal with the leader.As for the rest, I'll have to ask you two to hold them off for me!"
Before he could finish speaking, Hatake Kaede moved like lightning, rushing straight toward Kaguya Kokuga.
At the same time, Uchiha Kaze and Uchiha Aokawa, who were standing to the side, exchanged a glance.Although they did not speak, their tacit understanding was self-evident.
Without hesitation, they followed Hatake Kaede's instructions.The two formed hand seals and chanted, " Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
In an instant, raging flames erupted from their mouths, like two roaring fire dragons, sweeping forward with menacing claws.
Wherever the flames passed, the air seemed to ignite, forming a scorching wall of fire that forcibly separated Kaguya Kokuga and his people.
......
Seeing that this brat Hatake Kaede dared to charge straight at him, Kaguya Kokuga felt a surge of anger.He just wanted to tear the brat in front of him to pieces and torture him to death.
He stretched out his right arm, and the bones in his body twisted and expanded, quickly transforming into a giant bone drill, which spun at high speed and crashed into Hatake Kaede's body.
Seeing this, lightning crackled around Hatake Kaede.He nimbly dodged Kaguya Kokuga's attack and flashed to stand in front of her.
"Thunder Prison·Conviction!"
Lightning-attribute chakra was imbued into the ninja sword in Hatake Kaede's hand.With this strike, he directly pierced through the skeleton in Kaguya's chest and cut into her flesh.
The immense force sent Kaguya's Bone Fang flying backward (damn, what did I write?Why is Kaguya's Bone Fang constantly being blasted away?), and a large amount of blood gushed from the gruesome wound.
Seizing the advantage, Hatake Kaede pressed forward, his ninja sword flashing through the air as he slashed straight at the fallen Bone Fang.
In an instant, lightning flashed and bone fragments flew everywhere.Kaguya Kokuga looked extremely disheveled, and he could only desperately try to defend against Hatake Kaede's attacks.
However, Hatake Kaede's attacks were like a raging storm, giving Kokuga no chance to breathe.In no time, Kokuga's bones had been sliced away layer by layer by Hatake Kaede's ninja blades.
Kaguya Kokuga, a renowned ninja, had never suffered such humiliation.
His anger erupted like a volcano, yet he was powerless to stop it.In this critical moment, he decided to take a desperate gamble and forcibly squeeze out the chakra within his body.
With a loud "boom," the ground suddenly shook violently, and dozens of thick bone spikes sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
These bone spikes, like a cage, tightly surrounded Hatake Kaede, leaving him nowhere to escape.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Hatake Kaede remained calm.His eyes narrowed, and he uttered a soft cry: "Hatake Style: Lightning Moon Slash!"
In an instant, a purple bolt of lightning, like a crescent moon, traced a magnificent arc through the sky.Wherever this lightning passed, the stark white bone forest was cleanly cleaved in two.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kaguya Kokuga leaped without hesitation and escaped from Hatake Kaede's attack range.
Hatake Kaede stood still, not continuing the pursuit as Kaguya had anticipated, but instead casually glanced at the scattered bone fragments around him.
A slight smile played on his lips as he thought to himself, "These bone fragments are sliced so evenly; even a roast duck chef would be envious!"
Just then, Kaguya Kokuga, seeing that Hatake Kaede was not making any move, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He roared, "You brat, prepare to die!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled a bone knife from his body.The bone knife gleamed coldly in the moonlight, sending chills down one's spine.
Kaguya, wielding a bone sword, charged towards Hatake Kaede like a raging beast.
However, despite the fierce attack, Hatake Kaede showed no fear.
He flashed forward like a ghost, his sword clashing instantly with Kaguya's bone sword, producing a crisp metallic clang.
The bone knife moved with the agility of a venomous snake, repeatedly stabbing at Hatake Kaede's vital points.The bones in his body also changed with his movements, sometimes attacking, sometimes defending, working together seamlessly.
However, despite the seemingly perilous scene, Hatake Kaede appeared completely at ease.
His movements were fluid and graceful; each swing of his sword perfectly blocked Kaguya Kokuga's attacks, and he even managed to launch a counterattack in the gaps, leaving Kaguya Kokuga somewhat overwhelmed.
After dozens of fierce exchanges, Kaguya suddenly dodged backward, quickly adjusted her posture, and then raised her finger at Hatake Kaede.
"Ten fingers piercing bullets!" With a roar, hundreds of hard finger bones shot towards Hatake Kaede at an astonishing speed, like bullets.
Facing the barrage of finger bones raining down, Hatake Kaede showed no fear.He wielded his ninja sword like a graceful dancer.Each swing of the sword precisely struck the finger bones aimed at him, knocking them off one by one.
However, just as Hatake Kaede successfully withstood the attack, his figure suddenly transformed into a streak of purple lightning, vanishing from the spot in an instant like lightning.
As expected of the leader of the Kaguya clan, his combat instincts were indeed incredibly sharp.He immediately turned around and swung his bone sword, attempting to block the attack from behind.
With a crisp clang, Kaguya's bone sword clashed violently with Hatake Kaede's ninja sword.
Kaguya's lips curled into a slight, disdainful smile.He scoffed, "Hmph, fancy tricks?My bones are harder than steel.How could you possibly.with just your ninja sword?"
A layer of lightning-attribute chakra covered Hatake Kaede's ninja sword.Hatake Kaede's eyes turned cold, and he forcefully pressed down on the ninja sword in his hand.
With a crisp "crack," the bone sword in Kaguya's hand snapped in two in an instant.
The bone sword broke, and Hatake Kaede's ninja sword should have passed by without any hindrance.However, the next moment, the lightning chakra attached to the ninja sword suddenly lengthened, cutting Kaguya's bone fang in half.
"Thunder Prison - God-Slaying Spear!"
Kaguya's body was cut in two and fell to the ground.Although she had been cut in half at the waist, she was not immediately dead.
Hatake Kaede quickly finished off Kaguya with a purple senbon needle that shot directly into her brain, killing her instantly.
After killing Kaguya Kokuga, Hatake Kaede sheathed his sword and threw himself into the next battle, unleashing ninjutsu with both hands.
"Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique!"
Thick fog enveloped the battlefield, blinding the warlike Kaguya clan.At this moment, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan and the Kagura Mind's Eye of the Uzumaki clan proved their advantage.
In the thick fog, the remaining members of the Kaguya clan were dealt with one by one.
The Bloodstained Force of Kirigakure and the Kaguya Clan were completely wiped out.
......
The other bloodline families in Kirigakure had not yet received news of the Kaguya clan's complete annihilation and continued on their own.
They landed at the eastern port of the Land of Whirlpools, finding no trace of slaughter along the way.Either the Kaguya clan was kind-hearted and spared the poor civilians of the Land of Whirlpools, or the civilians had hidden themselves beforehand.
That evening, the leaders of the various ninja clans gathered to discuss countermeasures.As the backbone of their respective clans, they naturally realized that information about Kirigakure's attack on Uzushiogakure had been leaked.
The intelligence has been leaked, which means that the Uzumaki clan is ready, and they have truly become cannon fodder in the attack on the Land of Whirlpools.
The crowd looked rather grim, after all, no other ninja village in the ninja world was as bizarre as Kirigakure, which would persecute its own village's bloodline ninjas for no reason.
Hozuki Tengetsu, the youngest son of the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, is also the leader of the Hozuki clan this time.Due to the conflict between the Second and Third Mizukage, the Hozuki clan has suffered the most severe blows in recent years.
The Seven Ninja Swords, forged by the Hozuki clan at great expense, were blatantly stolen by the Third Mizukage.The Hozuki clan members who held positions in the village were also eliminated one by one, leaving only Hozuki Rangetsu, who wielded the twin swords Hiramekarei, among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
He cursed viciously, "Damn the Third Mizukage, this is settling a personal score!He doesn't treat us like human beings at all."
Although the other ninja leaders did not verbally agree, their eyes revealed their dissatisfaction with the Third Mizukage.
Hozuki Tengetsu continued, "Judging from the current situation, the common people of the Land of Whirlpools should have all gone into hiding.This means the Uzumaki clan should have received the news long ago.So now, everyone, what should we do?"
The other team leaders did not answer Hozuki Tengetsu's question, as they had no way of dealing with the situation.
It's no wonder these team leaders were confused; even a master would be confused here.After all, the major ninja villages haven't been established for very long, and the only large-scale war that affected the ninja world was the First Shinobi World War.
As for the wars during the Warring States period, they were mostly wars between various ninja clans, and these wars rarely directly affected ordinary people.
Terumi Sakata, the leader of the Terumi clan, stood up and said, "Send someone to scout the situation and keep an eye on the Kaguya clan ahead.Those lunatics may be crazy, but they can still serve as a warning.And."
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Continuous explosions rang out around the camp.
