"Someone blocked it? Then I'll just try again."
Watanabe Sho didn't even notice Shiki Uzumaki's hand already rushing from Kusei's side toward him.
He was surprised that an old man had actually blocked his Wind Blade. Watanabe Sho quickly prepared to form new seals for another release.
But—
"Seal it!!!"
With a roar resembling a furious beast, a hand slammed heavily into his abdomen.
Five fingers pressed into his body like steel nails.
Yet something unusual occurred simultaneously at that spot on his lower stomach.
It felt as though something were pulling at his chakra.
And then this suction force kept increasing, gradually making him completely unable to control his own chakra!
"What the hell is this!!"
Watanabe Sho couldn't help but scream in terror.
Beside him, the newly forming Wind Blade also began dissipating due to his insufficient chakra.
A violent burst surged through him as his chakra went wild. Immediately afterward, Watanabe Sho could no longer resist the overwhelming force coming from the boy standing before him.
He was blasted backward—flying through the air and kicking up a massive cloud of sand, like a miniature [Desert Funeral]!
A second passed… Then another.
His red hair still gently fluttered in the wind, yet Watanabe Sho didn't rise back up.
"How is this possible!"
"That was an actual jonin!"
At this moment, nearly everyone turned their gazes toward him in shock.
After all, there were at least four or five jonins combined on this battlefield.
Yet he was the first jonin to be defeated! Continued...
Chapter 218: Ceasefire!
"This... this can't be true?"
Standing behind a concealed sand dune, Baki stared at the half-eaten corpses.
His face twisted with horror.
He had already figured out that those three bodies belonged to Sunagakure's Fourth Kazekage and two elders!
"They've been dead for two months already, so—"
The chunin who discovered these bodies hesitated before offering an explanation.
But before he could finish speaking, he saw terrifying killing intent radiating from Baki's body.
"Orochimaru! I didn't expect this..."
"Cough cough... I didn't expect this either. Shiki Uzumaki, I didn't think you'd actually manage to defeat that jonin and rescue Kusei too."
Nara Shiomi wore an excited expression, as if he himself had achieved these feats.
Shiki Uzumaki offered only a few bitter smiles, his face still pale.
Right now, he, Nara Shiomi, Yamanaka San Tian, and several other jonins were heading back toward Konoha Village.
Even recalling the battle against Sunagakure from two hours ago, he still found everything somewhat surprising.
Not long after defeating Watanabe Sho, Sunagakure ninjas received orders to unconditionally surrender to Konoha.
The reason was simple—they had confirmed the Fourth Kazekage's death, and determined this attack upon Konoha was all Orochimaru's scheme.
Under such circumstances, naturally even Baki had no reason left to continue fighting. He could only obey the Land of Wind Daimyo's command, announcing unconditional surrender to the Land of Fire.
However, thinking back to that scene, Shiki Uzumaki felt some lingering anxiety.
It was almost too close—Kusei had nearly died right before his eyes.
"Good thing I have strong regeneration abilities—and I can even use the same power as Karin."
Back then, Shiki Uzumaki directly sliced open his wrist and fed his blood into Kusei's mouth.
Using the Mystical Palm Technique to stop the bleeding immediately, he eventually managed to save this old man who had been on the brink of death.
But when he looked up, he found a group of ninja staring at him in shock—ninja who already knew Konoha had won the battle.
He was surprised too.
Even Nara Shiomi slapped his shoulder and said with a laugh, "Haha, Shiki, you're not only skilled in sword techniques, but also sealing techniques—and even medical ninjutsu! You really are cut from the same cloth as I was back in my prime!"
Then Yamanaka San Tian suddenly punched Shiomi hard on the head. Clapping his hands afterward, he said, "No worries—it's the only way to wake him up. But Shiki, your performance was truly astonishing. That was a Jonin! Even considering both Sand and Leaf combined, there are probably only five or six of them left on this battlefield."
Shiki Uzumaki could only shake his head and turn his gaze toward the still unconscious Kusei. "If it weren't for Grandpa Kusei, I would've been the one seriously injured instead. This victory is all thanks to him."
The surrounding ninja couldn't help but feel warmth in their hearts. Among ninja his age, few were like Shiki—rarely did others refuse credit and acknowledge their own shortcomings so humbly.
"Don't worry," someone comforted him, "Mr. Kusei didn't die after all."
"But giving him your own blood—that was unusual, wasn't it? Normally someone like you, who understands medical ninjutsu, should know that blood has no healing effects."
"Yet since Mr. Kusei drank Shiki's blood, his recovery speed seems to have increased significantly."
Someone noticed Kusei's face regaining its color and started discussing it.
Shiki could only awkwardly smile—he was utterly drained. But at that moment, someone dragged a large blade and walked straight toward him.
Beside him stood another—the commander of Konoha's regular defense forces.
Both commanders had actually arrived here together. Looking at this child before them—who appeared weary yet continued chatting with the other ninja beside him—they certainly wouldn't have believed it without seeing it with their own eyes.
This very boy, despite his tender age, had achieved the greatest feat on today's Battlefield.
