Chapter 94: Chiyo's Unfortunate Fate
Chapter 94: Chiyo's Unfortunate Fate
"Chiyo's being suppressed... What a freak, with chakra and speed like that. Even I would struggle to deal with him and would have to rely on my sage mode perception."
Jiraiya, in the midst of his intense battle with Orochimaru, spared a glance at Feng Ye and Chiyo's confrontation, his heart stirring with emotion.
Previously, he had no idea how Feng Ye achieved such outrageous feats on the battlefields of the Grass and Rain Countries and could only speculate. But now, he knew.
Chakra almost on par with his own!
Speed far surpassing his!
And a sword technique comparable to that of the White Fang, a deadly combination of destructive power and sharpness in his strikes!
Together, these attributes created a killing machine, just like the White Fang of old. In terms of raw power, the White Fang was inferior to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, but on the battlefield, the White Fang's body count would far surpass that of Hiruzen's! Feng Ye was this type of ninja!
When facing the Kage-level ninjas of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, like the Wind Shadow before him, Feng Ye's Kusanagi Sword, influenced by Magnet Release, might find its effectiveness reduced, making the outcome uncertain. However, against the average jonin and chunin, Feng Ye possessed near-instant killing capabilities, ending battles in a single exchange.
And against a ninja like Chiyo, who manipulated puppets, he exerted immense pressure as well. One could even say that Feng Ye and the White Fang were Chiyo's natural enemies!
The reason was simple.
Under Chiyo's control, each of those puppets could exhibit unique abilities, each comparable to a jonin or even an elite jonin. Controlling ten of them simultaneously would give anyone a headache.
However, numbers meant nothing to ninjas like Feng Ye and the White Fang. Even if ten jonin joined forces, they would most likely be defeated one by one.
"You really are unlucky, Chiyo..."
Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh as he thought of this.
Chiyo had encountered the White Fang in the Second Great Ninja War and now faced Feng Ye in the Third—what a twist of fate that she should meet the nemesis of father and son. Such misfortune almost invited pity.
Orochimaru also noticed that Chiyo was in a dire situation, and the shock he felt was even more intense than Jiraiya's, because he recognized the Kusanagi Sword in Feng Ye's hand.
It was him!
The key ninja responsible for the annihilation of the ambush unit was indeed from Konoha!
"This won't do. Chiyo can't be allowed to fail at this point," Orochimaru thought, gritting his teeth. If Chiyo were to be defeated so quickly, the losses in this decisive battle would be too great, and he couldn't afford to accept such a turn of events, no matter how favorable the situation was for him.
He shouted to several jonin nearby, "Go support Chiyo!"
The jonin immediately responded and rushed towards Chiyo's location. However, Jiraiya remained calm, continuing his battle with Orochimaru without worry. He wasn't concerned about defeating Orochimaru; as long as he could stall him, it would be enough.
Sending jonin to support Chiyo against a ninja like Feng Ye was pointless; they would still be defeated one by one and could, at most, only deplete Feng Ye's chakra.
But there was also Tsunade on Feng Ye's side!
Chakra depletion?
Not likely.
Even though Tsunade seemed a little unwell, she could still provide support at any time, heal Feng Ye, and transfer some chakra to him without any issues.
In other words, the Sand Ninjas had already lost this war!
Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
Three jonin from Sunagakure drew near to Feng Ye's battlefield. They each formed hand seals and released powerful Wind and Earth Release jutsu, attempting to restrict Feng Ye's movements.
However, these restrictions were virtually ineffective, easily dodged by Feng Ye. One of the ninjas tried to cast an illusion technique, but upon touching the violent chakra emanating from Feng Ye's body, their connection was instantly severed, making it impossible to guide Feng Ye's chakra flow.
Perhaps it was the shock caused by Feng Ye that further alleviated her hemophobia, making the flow of chakra within her smoother. With the combination of the Hundred Seal Technique, her combat prowess, though not yet fully restored to Kage-level, was undoubtedly that of an elite jonin!
Boom!!
Tsunade's monstrous punch cracked the ground.
A Sunagakure jonin dodged hastily, but was still affected by the force, his ankles suffering from the shock. He couldn't help but be startled and dared not spare another glance at Chiyo and Feng Ye's situation.
The other two Sunagakure ninjas also warily eyed Tsunade, aware of her reputation as one of the Sannin of Konoha, a name that shook the ninja world during the Second Great Ninja War!
Bang! Bang!!
Tsunade took on all three by herself, gradually regaining her strength. Each punch grew more powerful, suppressing the three Sunagakure jonin!
Deploying three jonin to support Chiyo was almost Sunagakure's limit. Other nearby Sunagakure ninjas attempted to provide backup, but the Konoha ninjas quickly intercepted them.
The entire battlefield had transformed, with the confrontation between Feng Ye and Chiyo at its heart! The Sunagakure ninjas tried to reinforce, while the Konoha ninjas persistently obstructed them!
"Is that all you've got...?" Feng Ye's expression remained indifferent as he brandished the Kusanagi Sword, slicing through the puppets that blocked his path, and relentlessly assaulting Chiyo's main body.
As a Kage-level powerhouse, Chiyo had an endless array of techniques up her sleeve. Chakra threads, laser shield seals, and the Three-Jeweled Receiving Technique... some techniques, accompanied by her puppets, wrapped around him like silken threads, while others gathered chakra, creating a bizarre suction force to control him.
These moves were enough to trouble even a Kage-level ninja, but in front of Feng Ye, they were as good as useless. One sword strike to break through; two if it didn't work the first time. None of her techniques could truly stop him; they could only delay his steps and slow his attacks.
"Don't get too cocky."
"Brat." Chiyo's face was as cold as ice as she manipulated her puppets, her voice icy.
At that moment, Feng Ye resembled the White Fang of the past, and she had felt just as helpless against him. But after being defeated by the White Fang, she had diligently studied countermeasures, spending years perfecting her strategies.
When she heard of the White Fang's death, she thought her preparations were for naught, never expecting to encounter the White Fang's son, who employed nearly identical techniques.
Buzz!!
In the next moment, Chiyo summoned the last puppet from her scroll, a bizarre, inverted triangular puppet that seemed like the core of some mechanism.
"This was prepared for your father... but you can take his place and experience it instead." Chiyo's eyes glinted coldly, and she unleashed her chakra to its utmost limit. Countless chakra threads converged towards the triangular puppet, inducing a heart-palpitating, oppressive sensation.
With the triangular puppet as the nucleus, the countless metal fragments of the puppets Feng Ye had destroyed began to tremble and float as if drawn by some invisible force, enclosing Feng Ye within their midst!
"Ninja Art!"
"Magnetic Light Seal Explosion!!!"
