On the battlefield, the space left vacant by the battle between Hyuga Tenku and Chiyo was instantly filled by ninjas.
The use of S-rank ninjutsu intensified the atmosphere on the battlefield, and thousands of ninjas engaged in even fiercer combat.
At their feet might lie the companions who had just lost their lives, but in this moment, there was no time for grief.
Their only thought was to eliminate the enemy before them.
Tatsumi was doing the same. He was like a drop of water in the ocean, insignificant.
But no one dared to underestimate this ten-year-old Uchiha boy.
Whether it was the Konoha ninjas on his side or the ninjas of the enemy country, it was the same.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a god of death, taking the lives of enemies with his incredibly troublesome genjutsu and body flicker technique.
He didn't seem like a Chunin at all... in fact, he was much stronger than many Jonin. Many ninjas were caught in his genjutsu in an instant, and a kunai strike would permanently end their lives.
Blood-colored eyes, powerful Lightning Release, and a trench coat soaked in the blood of enemies—when these elements combined, they created an unparalleled sense of beauty.
The art of slaughter.
Even Tatsumi didn't realize that, imperceptibly, many Konoha ninjas had become his followers. This had nothing to do with age, only with strength.
"Tatsumi..."
Minato, who had been continuously beheading several Genin at the edge of the battlefield, vaguely caught sight of Tatsumi's figure in the crowd. Seeing his friend's formidable strength, he was also very shocked.
Minato had sparred with Tatsumi the most, but he never knew how high his strength really was. Today, he finally realized it.
At this moment, besides admiration, Minato's heart was filled with the desire to catch up. He silently told himself that one day, he would also have enough strength to fight alongside him.
Not far from Tatsumi, Nawaki was currently entangled with an Iwagakure Chunin, using his Water Release skills to gain the upper hand.
And Mikoto was always behind Tatsumi, helping him fend off the interference of other ninjas. With her Sharingan, she could see through the movements of most Chunin and Genin.
"Uchiha brat, don't get too cocky!"
Seeing how powerful Mikoto was, several ninjas directly surrounded and attacked her. In an instant, Mikoto, who had been handling things with ease, was immediately suppressed. Even so, she continued to persevere.
The single-tomoe Sharingan spun faster and faster.
Using the Sharingan in an exploitative manner, Mikoto finally clearly captured the opponent's attack.
In an instant, relying on her small stature, she directly dodged. Then, she thrust a kunai towards a ninja's abdomen.
However, when her kunai was less than two inches away from the ninja's abdomen, the opponent reacted. He immediately rotated the blade in his hand and slashed horizontally.
Having the Sharingan, Mikoto saw this movement in advance and quickly dodged, avoiding the attack.
At this moment, another ninja's fist came straight at Mikoto. In this critical moment,
Mikoto didn't dodge the incoming attack at all.
She met the enemy ninja's gaze, and in an instant, the movement in his hand stopped. Then, a kunai shot directly towards his chest.
Everyone was fighting hard.
As for Tatsumi at this moment, after seeing Mikoto resolve her opponent, he also focused his attention on the enemy in front of him.
He was well aware that, in battle, being undisturbed by external factors was also key to victory.
In addition, due to his previous breakout and the successive slaying of Jonin on the battlefield, his stamina and chakra had been significantly depleted.
And as for his genjutsu, the ninjas near this battlefield were all on guard, not wanting to be easily killed by Tatsumi after falling into his genjutsu.
"Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!"
The broken rocks under Tatsumi's feet floated into the air and gathered in front of his opponent. In an instant, they condensed into a half-person-sized rock fist, which then smashed straight towards him.
Seeing this, Tatsumi didn't dodge at all, and directly unleashed a Super Strength Fist, instantly shattering the giant rock into pieces.
Whoosh!
The Sand Ninja's figure burst forward, and a bright longsword slashed down, aiming to cut Tatsumi down.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Just as he was about to approach Tatsumi, the Earth Release seal had already been completed, and an earth wall that could just barely conceal Tatsumi's figure stood up.
However, such an earth wall could not stop a Jonin for too long.
After Tatsumi formed the hand seals, in an instant, his Lightning Release reached the level of a thousand birds chirping.
Then, Tatsumi did not hesitate, raised his right hand, and smashed it towards the Earth Flow Wall!
"Chidori!"
The Earth Flow Wall that Tatsumi had deliberately erected was instantly pierced by the Chidori.
Stones scattered, Tatsumi stepped forward with his right leg and slammed it hard into the enemy Jonin's abdomen.
The moment he was hit, the Sand Ninja looked stunned, because in the battles he had experienced, he had never seen a caster actively destroy his own defensive ninjutsu.
The enemy Jonin directly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then seemed to lose his strength, the longsword in his hand falling to the ground. His abdomen had been directly pierced by the Lightning Release.
"Die."
Tatsumi took out a kunai and shot it towards the Sand Ninja's head.
However, at this moment, a stream of sand rose from the ground, deflecting the kunai. And the sand quickly expanded, forming a sand wall in front of the Sand Village ninja.
Immediately afterwards, an even larger sand flow rushed towards Tatsumi.
Tatsumi jumped up and dodged the impact of the sand wave.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"
At the moment Tatsumi jumped high, four gray snakes flew out like ropes, shooting towards Mikoto and the other Konoha ninjas.
The four gray snakes wrapped around their waists, and Tatsumi pulled them out of the sand's encirclement.
"You guys get out of here!"
After pulling Mikoto and the others out, Tatsumi quickly told them to leave. This kind of large-scale ninjutsu could easily affect them.
"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"
A person shouted loudly, reaching out and grabbing in the air, and a stream of sand shot towards Tatsumi's legs like a rope.
Tatsumi was instantly wrapped in sand.
"Desert Burial!"
The person lightly shouted, and the sand enveloping Tatsumi suddenly contracted sharply.
