A furious shout rang out, and the remaining elite jonin quickly approached Kazuki.
Zzzt—
A piercing scraping sound rang out, accompanied by an increase in force and an explosion of chakra, and Kazuki's entire body was sent flying.
"Wind Release: Emerald Mist Gale!!!"
The Sarutobi elite jonin unleashed his uncontrollable rage, and with a roar, a short sword wrapped in emerald green wind-style chakra flew straight toward him.
"Tch!"
Kazuki landed and slid back several meters, muttering a curse under his breath.
As expected, he was still somewhat behind elite jonin.
Although he could use his Ice Leap to ambush and kill elite jonin, he was no match for them in a direct confrontation.
"I'm still too weak..."
Kazuki shook his head helplessly. Faced with the murderous elite jonin, he could only form hand seals and prepare to unleash his Frost Domain.
After all, he was currently some distance away from the icy domain he had set up earlier. At this moment, that elite jonin had already attacked, and he couldn't go back. He could only set up another icy domain.
Otherwise, facing an elite jonin who was determined to fight to the death, he really might not be able to defeat him.
However, just as Kazuki was about to use the Frost Domain—
"Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!"
A blinding flash of lightning appeared.
Clang!
The two elite jonin clashed swords, and arcs of lightning instantly erupted around them, cracking the earth and rocks.
Seeing this, Kazuki smiled and lowered his hands from the hand seal.
Now that his side had provided support, he no longer needed to waste chakra using the Frost Domain.
"Wind Release: Sword of the Wind God!"
The next second, wind-style chakra emerged from his short sword, and he and Masamichi began to attack the Sarutobi elite jonin.
He might not be able to beat an elite jonin in a one-on-one fight, but in a two-on-one situation, the elite jonin would only be able to take the beating.
After all, Kazuki's combat strength was stronger than that of an ordinary jonin.
With the appearance of several elite jonin, including Masamichi, the number of elite jonin on the battlefield from both clans was increasing.
In this kind of battle, even the aftershocks could injure a genin.
Therefore, after the elite jonin joined the battlefield, the genin of both clans had already moved far away from the place where the elite jonin were fighting.
"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burn!"
Suddenly, a large cloud of smoke appeared more than 20 meters behind Kazuki.
Before he could react, the smoke was ignited and exploded, and the resulting wind made his clothes flutter continuously.
"Ah—"
"No—"
...
Several screams rang out, followed by an elite jonin emerging from the burning smoke.
Thud!
Kazuki raised his sword to block, but was instantly blasted away by the powerful force.
The newly appeared Sarutobi elite jonin was covered in thick, earth-colored armor, clearly indicating that he was a master of Earth Release.
After knocking Kazuki away, the jonin wanted to pursue him, but Masamichi next to him instantly unleashed his chakra. "Lightning Release: Double Flash!"
Sizzle!
A flash of lightning appeared, and two gashes appeared on the thick, earth-colored armor of the elite jonin, revealing the muscles underneath.
If Masamichi had used just a little more force, this Sarutobi elite jonin would have been left with his skin torn and bleeding.
"Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!"
"Wind Release: Beast Wave Palm!"
Two elite jonin from the Sarutobi clan joined forces to attack their side.
Relying on his lightning sword technique, Masamichi was able to fight two opponents at once, but he was at a disadvantage.
"Cough cough..."
Kazuki coughed twice and stood up from the ground.
Swish, swish, swish!
Three shuriken flew toward him.
They were thrown by a Sarutobi chunin who saw Kazuki fall to the ground.
Kazuki dodged the shuriken by sidestepping, then turned to look at the chunin. "Hah!"
He formed a hand seal, and a nail compressed from wind-attribute chakra was shot out from his mouth.
Pfft!
A spurt of blood appeared on the Sarutobi chunin's neck, and he then knelt on the ground, clutching his neck in pain.
The Hagoromo clan member next to him seized the opportunity, stabbing the man in the heart and killing him.
Kazuki surveyed the battlefield.
There wasn't a single ninja around where the elite jonin were fighting.
On the battlefield, everyone, whether from the Hagoromo clan or the Sarutobi clan, tacitly stayed away from the area where the elite jonin were fighting.
Seeing that Masamichi was at a disadvantage, Kazuki gripped the hilt of his sword and used the Sword of the Wind God to support him once again.
Buzz, clang, ding...
Kazuki's arrival relieved the pressure on Masamichi.
However, he was still somewhat lacking in skill compared to elite jonin, and it was not easy for the two of them to deal with two elite jonin.
"Damn it! I'm such a noob!"
Kazuki, who was being completely dominated throughout, couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"Kid, it's good that you know!"
The Sarutobi elite jonin sneered, his hands moving swiftly as he attacked Kazuki like a storm.
Kazuki: "!!!"
What the hell? I'll just say it to myself, what are you even talking about? You think you're the only one with a mouth?
"Hah!"
Kazuki unleashed his chakra and, with a crazed expression, wielded the Sword of the Wind God to slash at his opponent.
The Sarutobi elite jonin was startled by his sudden outburst and hurriedly raised his sword to defend himself.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kazuki quickly retreated and formed hand seals. "Ice Release: Frost Domain!"
Whoosh~
Frost spread from beneath his feet, instantly covering an area with a diameter of one hundred meters.
"This is..."
Seeing the frost covering the ground, the elite jonin instinctively became alert.
Kazuki gave him no chance to think and directly grabbed his sword and charged at him.
In just a few seconds, the two exchanged blows more than a dozen times.
Out of the corner of his eye, Kazuki saw that, due to the elemental advantage, the elite jonin covered in earth armor had been suppressed by Masamichi.
His heart stirred, a flash of icy light appeared, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.
Thud!
The earth-attribute elite jonin blocked Masamichi's attack, and then Kazuki used a feint to appear behind him in an instant.
"Wind Release: Sword of the Wind God!"
Slash!
Despite the protection of the earth armor, the Sword of the Wind God was incredibly sharp.
Kazuki only felt some resistance, and then with a burst of force, the Sarutobi elite jonin was pierced right through.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!"
A flash of lightning, and the head of this elite jonin flew off.
"Uncle Masamichi, let's go!"
Having dealt with one enemy, Kazuki turned his attention to the opponent he had just faced.
Without wasting any words, Masamichi charged forward, his body crackling with lightning.
Kazuki flashed with frost-like light and used Ice Leap to appear behind his opponent.
Zzzt—
Seemingly aware that Kazuki, the ambusher, liked to attack from behind, the elite jonin turned around and slashed backward the instant he disappeared.
The two short swords, imbued with wind-style chakra, collided instantly.
