FWF Chapter 480 Flying Flowers Fall
Chapter 480 Flying Flowers Fall
The crisp sound of the neck bone cracking was particularly jarring amidst the pattering rain.
As Fugaku Uchiha released his grip, the Sand Village leader, who had failed to detonate the puppet even in death, slid softly into the mud, his face frozen with final madness and resentment.
The rain washed away the hand that was gripping the other man's throat, carrying away the negligible amount of blood.
The battlefield fell into a deathly silence the moment the core of the army was removed.
The remaining few Sand Village puppeteers froze in mid-air, their fingers manipulating the chakra threads, staring at the scene in disbelief.
From the moment that man broke into the formation to the moment their captain perished, the entire process happened so fast that their brains couldn't process it.
"it's over."
Fugaku Uchiha's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every member of the Uchiha clan.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Uchiha ninjas, who had already formed ranks, launched another relentless attack.
This time, it's no longer a test, but a complete annihilation.
A web of death, woven from flames and shuriken, completely engulfed the remaining resistance fighters.
A few minutes later, in this rain-soaked forest clearing, there was not a single enemy standing besides the Uchiha clan members.
"Captain Fugaku, the reconnaissance unit has sent a signal."
A Uchiha ninja quickly stepped forward and handed over a small scroll. "All-out firefight has begun."
Fugaku Uchiha took the scroll, scanned the encrypted information on it with his Mangekyou Sharingan, and then turned his gaze into the distance.
The sky there was illuminated by an ominous dark red light, and the continuous explosions could be faintly heard even from this distance.
Unlike their textbook-perfect, efficient fighting style, this was a true meat grinder that devoured lives.
……
The Land of Thunder.
There are not many trees to provide cover, only a vast plain soaked in rain and blood, muddy and treacherous.
Countless earthen walls rose from the ground, only to be blasted to pieces in an instant by the violent ninjutsu.
Gravel mixed with dirt flew everywhere, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and the thick stench of blood.
"Three o'clock position, Iwagakure Explosives Team! Earth Release: Suppression!"
A Konoha Chunin captain roared hoarsely, half of his face stained red with blood.
Before the words were even finished, several Konoha ninjas had already formed hand seals in perfect unison, and a thick earth wall rose up from the ground, precisely blocking a swarm of exploding clay spiders that were hurtling towards them.
boom!!!
The violent explosion created a towering blast wave, blasting a huge gap in the solid earthen wall.
However, this is just the beginning.
More Iwagakure ninja poured out from behind the blasted opening, their hands forming different hand seals and chanting incantations.
"Earth Release: Rock Gun Technique!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
In an instant, countless rock projectiles compressed from high-density chakra, mixed with roaring earth dragons, rained down on the Konoha ninja.
This is the battlefield.
The most primitive and brutal form of attack.
The ninjas of Iwagakure, with their innate resilience and profound mastery of Earth Release ninjutsu, transformed this plain into a mobile fortress and graveyard.
"Cover! Medical team! Wounded, retreat!"
A Konoha ninja was struck in the calf by a rock fragment, fell down screaming, and was immediately dragged away by his comrades.
On the other side, a rogue who had charged too aggressively had just broken through the defense line when he was firmly bound by an invisible shadow. Immediately afterward, his body uncontrollably raised a kunai and stabbed it fiercely at his companion.
The Nara clan's Shadow Binding Technique and the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Technique always manage to create such bizarre and efficient killings on the chaotic battlefield.
However, there were too many enemies.
"Watch your step!"
A Hyuga clansman suddenly shouted a warning, his Byakugan clearly showing that the flow of chakra underground was abnormal.
Almost simultaneously, several Iwagakure ninjas burst from the ground beneath their feet, their rock blades aimed straight for their hearts.
puff!
Blood splattered.
Despite the warning, two Konoha ninjas were still unable to react in time and were pierced through the body on the spot.
"Lan! Behind you!"
A four-man Konoha squad is currently being relentlessly suppressed by countless Iwagakure members in a sunken crater.
The team leader was an experienced Chunin, and the other three were a Hyuga, an Inuzuka, and a Uchiha ninja who looked quite young—Uchiha Ran.
At this moment, the Inuzuka ninja's ninja dog, severely injured in the explosion, was whimpering in pain.
The Hyuga clansman, on the other hand, had exhausted a large amount of chakra because he had to be on high alert against the constant sneak attacks from all sides.
"No, the firepower on this side is too intense! If this continues, we'll be worn down and killed here!"
The squad leader gritted his teeth, leaned against the earthen wall, and shouted, "Prepare to break out!"
The moment he gave the order, Uchiha Ran's single-tomoe Sharingan captured a fatal scene.
Hidden in the distance, a rock hermit was rapidly forming hand seals, and he had already thrown a fist-sized rock, along with an explosive tag that glowed with a dangerous light, into the air.
And its landing point happened to be their team's only escape route.
"Get out of the way!"
Lan's brain was working at its peak in that instant.
He saw the trajectory of the falling stone.
If they continue to break out according to the original plan, the detonating clay will explode among them in 0.3 seconds, and the result will be... total annihilation.
There was no time to think.
There was no time to choose.
The young Uchiha ninja made the only decision in that instant.
He lunged forward with all his might, slamming the captain, who was about to charge out, aside.
"What are you doing?!"
The captain was knocked off balance and stumbled back in shock and anger.
What he saw was Uchiha Ran rushing out of the crater, alone, heading towards that area of death.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A blazing fireball erupted from Lan's mouth, heading straight for the falling explosive tag.
He wanted to detonate it in mid-air!
That's too late.
The last thing Uchiha Ran's single-tomoe Sharingan reflected was a blinding white light that expanded to its maximum size in an instant.
boom--!!!!!!
The deafening explosion engulfed everything.
A violent blast of air, mixed with scalding hot mud, slammed against the edge of the pit, knocking the captain and his two companions, who had just gotten up, to the ground again.
When the captain struggled to lift his head and look at the place where the explosion had occurred, he froze.
There, only a deep, charred pit remains.
Uchiha Ran was lying at the bottom of the pit, blood gushing out from beneath him, quickly staining the water at the bottom of the pit red.
The blue Uchiha fan emblem on his body had been blown to pieces.
"Lan..."
The Hyuga ninja he had pushed aside uttered the name with trembling lips.
"Walk!"
The captain's voice was so hoarse it was almost unrecognizable. He grabbed Hyuga, who was still in a daze, and said, "We can't let him die in vain!"
After saying that, he didn't look back, and led the remaining two team members towards the only path to survival, which had been bought with blood and lives.
