Although her current state was much worse than when using the Gelel Force, this was already Sakura Haruno's strongest form without it.
The speed amplified by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode made it difficult for the five Kirigakure ANBU opposite her to even track Sakura's movements.
The reason Sakura had been trapped last time was also due to her lack of experience in fighting multiple opponents, and Terumi Mei being somewhat of a hindrance. Additionally, their numbers were large, and each of them was quite strong.
Now, their numbers had been reduced by half, there was no Terumi Mei to worry about, and Sakura had a reckless mindset. The outcome would naturally be different from last time.
However, Sakura still wasn't quite used to moving at such high speeds. This wasn't like the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was teleportation; this was her own pure movement speed. Due to the excessive speed, the surrounding objects in Sakura's vision were constantly elongated, and controlling her strength was also somewhat difficult.
But Sakura didn't need to control her strength now. Flashing in front of an ANBU, without much technique, she directly raised her fist and punched.
It wasn't that Sakura didn't want to use ninjutsu, but the current situation didn't require ninjutsu attacks at all; using ninjutsu would instead be a waste of chakra.
After all, these opponents weren't using ninjutsu either, so finishing the battle with the least amount of chakra was the optimal solution. If they used ninjutsu, then Sakura would use ninjutsu to counter them.
The ANBU targeted by Sakura saw the massive fist and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. With a clang, the ANBU held his ninja sword horizontally in front of him and simultaneously retreated explosively.
Sakura's fist directly shattered the ninja sword, and although the ANBU retreated in time, he was still sent tumbling backward by Sakura's punch.
Slightly surprised, just as Sakura was about to press forward, four whistling sounds of wind came from behind her.
However, Sakura paid it no mind. She leaped high into the air and stomped down towards the head of the ANBU she had just sent flying.
With two puchi sounds, the head of the downed ANBU was crushed by Sakura's foot, and Sakura herself was pierced through by four ninja swords.
Merely frowning slightly, Sakura gripped the four sword tips protruding from her abdomen and suddenly spun around. The four ANBU instantly lost their grip, and their ninja swords flew out of their hands.
Sakura faced them, expressionlessly pulling out the four ninja swords from her back one by one.
With Creation Rebirth, Sakura had no fear of injury. Two fists are no match for four hands; this saying was absolutely correct. The only way to overcome this truth was for oneself to possess an overwhelming advantage over the opponent.
But clearly, Sakura hadn't reached that realm yet, or rather, without natural energy, she currently couldn't achieve it. The reason she could repeatedly kill them under their siege was simply because she had enough trump cards.
She had exposed her Storm Release Clone last time, so she didn't use it this time. Instead, she used her monstrous strength to fight them. They might have thought it was just an ordinary punch, but only those who had truly been hit by such a punch would know the terror of monstrous strength.
The lead ANBU and the ANBU who had just died had lost due to such carelessness. However, this also made the remaining ANBU even more cautious.
Sakura was covered in blood, some the enemy's, some her own. Her right foot even had the white, pulpy brain matter from when she had crushed that ANBU's head earlier. The pungent, bloody smell stimulated Sakura's nerves again and again.
And inexplicably, a violent emotion arose in her heart. However, Sakura didn't deliberately suppress this emotion, allowing this violent feeling to fill her chest wantonly.
"Ahhhh~~~" Sakura felt an inexplicable anger about to erupt from her heart. After a roar, the lightning around her body intensified, and she continued to charge towards the remaining four ANBU.
Seeing this, two of the four ANBU formed hand seals together.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
A wall of water instantly rose between Sakura and them, while the other two ANBU formed a strange seal, ending with a reverse Tiger seal.
In no time, it began to rain from the sky. Sakura plunged headfirst into the water wall. It's just a water wall; I'll just charge through it. Having Creation Rebirth active made Sakura reckless.
However, the water wall indeed couldn't stop Sakura's face. After only a slight pause, Sakura burst through the wall and saw the two ANBU maintaining it. She directly shot a Storm Release laser towards the neck of one of them.
Without a doubt, the Storm Release laser pierced through the ANBU's neck, but no blood flowed out. The ANBU slowly turned transparent and finally disappeared into a puddle of water.
"Water Clone!" Sakura's anger instantly burned even hotter, her emerald green eyes turning crimson.
The Storm Release laser in her hand fiercely stabbed towards the ANBU beside her who was attacking her. Sure enough, this one was also a water clone.
The four hidden Kirigakure ANBU were also secretly complaining. They hadn't expected this young girl to be so difficult to deal with. They thought that using the formation they used against Tailed Beasts would be enough, but they had still underestimated her.
This ANBU unit existed to deal with Tailed Beasts. All the ninjutsu they learned were sealing jutsu, combination ninjutsu, and the like. They had actually succeeded in capturing Sakura last time, but unexpectedly, they had failed at the last moment.
The village's mission was to capture her alive and bring her back, which was why they had been sent. But now, only four of them remained.
This young girl's trump cards were simply innumerable. Due to the heavy losses last time, in order to complete the mission, the captain had no choice but to change the mission to a kill order. But unexpectedly, the captain had been careless and was killed in return.
They already had thoughts of retreating, but retreating now would mean all their previous efforts were wasted. So many had died, yet they had achieved nothing. They were unwilling.
Looking at the rain falling from the sky, the four ANBU could only hope that this ninjutsu would be effective. If it was ineffective, they would retreat immediately. At the very least, they had to pass on intelligence to the village.
Sakura looked around blankly, unable to find the figures of the four ANBU, and couldn't help but feel agitated. After losing natural energy, she was like a blind person. Sensory perception was never her specialty, and it also required talent.
The rain continued to fall from the sky. Sakura looked up at the sky, suddenly feeling a little puzzled. This rain had come somewhat strangely, without any warning. It was true that it rained all year round in the Land of Rain, but the seasons in the Land of Grass were very distinct, and rain would also have signs.
Could it be... Sakura vaguely felt that something was wrong. Then, she suddenly felt her chakra slowly draining away.
"Hm?" Sakura looked at her hands. The lightning covering her body indeed seemed less intense than before.
"Could it be... there's something wrong with this rain? Is it those ANBU's doing?!" Sakura deduced.
I have to leave quickly. Sakura was about to run out of this rain-covered area, but after taking only two steps, she suddenly stopped.
"So I still can't accept this fact, can I?" Sakura shook her head self-deprecatingly. "This is just a false world, the Infinite Tsukuyomi. I... I won't die here... What's the meaning of this battle... What's the meaning of everything I'm doing now..."
The four ANBU, seeing Sakura stop and the lightning around her growing weaker, knew their chance had come.
This ninjutsu was called "Rain Sever." It was a specialized ninjutsu of the Kirigakure ANBU, capable of using rainwater to dissolve the chakra in an enemy's ninjutsu. Without chakra, ninjutsu naturally couldn't function.
Sakura being covered in lightning made this jutsu particularly suitable. However, this jutsu also had a problem: the amount of chakra it could dissolve was not unlimited; it would consume the caster's chakra.
Now, although the two ANBU casting Rain Sever had exhausted their chakra, there were still two ANBU who could act.
Seeing Sakura standing motionless, the two ANBU, under the cover of night, rushed out directly, swinging their swords to cut Sakura down.
And Sakura, at this moment, had once again fallen into the despair of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Although she heard the sounds, she had no desire to resist, quietly awaiting the arrival of death.
In her despair, Sakura was also looking forward to seeing how the Infinite Tsukuyomi space would apply its patch this time.
