Chapter 97 The Final Battle Against the Sand Ninja
one year later.
Kikyoyama Command Center.
Mo Jingxian glanced up at Orochimaru standing under the military map, then silently looked away.
He focused his attention on the circulation of elements within his body, carefully sensing the energy fluctuations.
After more than a year of protracted conflict, the tension in the Sand Village finally snapped.
Although Rasa successfully ascended to the position of Kazekage, it was too late to reverse the situation.
There is only one path left for the Sand Village: to win the war against Konoha.
To be honest, Konoha is truly teeming with talent.
Despite such an unfavorable situation, the situation gradually improved within just one year.
With the Cloud Ninja withdrawing their troops, Mo Jingxian's squad was reassigned to the Sand Ninja front.
Furthermore, Onoki also withdrew most of his frontline ninjas, seemingly to guard against the Cloud Ninjas.
With the addition of Minato Namikaze, the Iwa ninja front has gained a much-needed respite.
Since their failed ambush on the Sand Village, the Hidden Mist Village has been hiding in seclusion and hasn't been very active lately.
Therefore, Konoha can finally free up its resources to plan a decisive victory over the Sand Village and end the war.
The Sand Village had a compelling reason to fight, and the Leaf Village had already prepared a detailed battle plan.
This decisive battle can be said to have already begun.
"Chiyo, Ebizo, Rasa... almost all the known Sand Ninja masters have gone to the front lines."
Later in the story, Orochimaru began to call roll and assign tasks.
The atmosphere in the command center was heavy, with a sense of impending doom.
One by one, the names of the ninjas were called, and the tasks were assigned to specific individuals.
"Mo Jingxian".
When Orochimaru called out that name, everyone in the tent looked over.
During this year, Mo Jingxian's name rose to fame in the ninja world.
He remained undefeated against the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Cloud Ninja.
He was able to gain the upper hand in several battles against A, an elite Jonin of the Cloud Ninja.
With each impressive feat he accomplished, his name spread throughout the ninja world.
Mo Jingxian stepped forward and bowed: "Commander."
Orochimaru's gaze lingered on him for a moment:
"When the great battle comes... block Rasa."
As he spoke, Orochimaru glanced around, taking in everyone's expressions.
Mo Jingxian's growth rate was indeed beyond his expectations.
I had already given them a higher opinion of me, but I never expected that I would still be too conservative.
"Commander, please rest assured," Mo Jingxian replied calmly. "Leave Luo Sha to me."
He returned to the group, with Tsunade standing in front of him and the other Konoha ninjas behind him.
As the pre-battle meeting drew to a close, Mo Jingxian took a break and glanced at the panel.
[Host: Mo Jingxian]
【Life: 72】
Sex: 51
[Skills: Elemental Spells, Basic Runes, Heavenly Breath Absorption Technique Lv.3 (Rapid Recovery) Progress 88%.]
[Talents: Water Element Mastery (Advanced), Wind Element Mastery (Advanced), Earth Element Mastery (Advanced), Lightning Element Mastery (Intermediate)]
[Tradeable Items: Luck, Soul]
Reputation Points: 1567
The panel changed a lot. After accumulating a surplus of reputation points, he focused on building up his basic attributes of "sex" and "life".
Fortunately, he completed the basic breathing technique, thus advancing to the Heavenly Breathing and Qi Absorption Technique.
Train it to level 3 and unlock the quick recovery attribute.
Rapid recovery: The body recovers twice as fast after an injury.
In addition to the above, I also traded for Thunder Element Mastery.
He has collected four of the five elements, and only lacks the mastery of the fire element.
What will happen when all five elements are gathered is hard to guess, but it's certainly something to look forward to.
Orochimaru's announcement of the meeting's adjournment pulled him back to reality.
"Gentlemen, a great battle is imminent. Please be prepared at any time."
After the meeting ended, everyone gradually left the command tent.
Mo Jingxian and Tsunade walked side by side for a while, chatting about some interesting things that had happened in the ninja world recently.
After returning to the Sand Village front, he accompanied Tsunade on two more missions, and their relationship gradually became closer.
In addition, he got along well with Tsunade, and their relationship became more and more like that of siblings.
"Beware of Danzo."
Before parting, Tsunade left behind a vague and ambiguous remark and disappeared.
Mo Jingxian pondered for a moment and understood what Tsunade was referring to.
Danzo.
He repeated the name in his mind.
It's not the right time yet; some things are already etched in my mind.
When the time is right, we'll settle these scores all at once.
When he returned to the military tent, someone was already waiting for him inside.
Fifteen-year-old Ayako Hinata embodied that beauty in a full and vibrant way.
However, besides Ayako, there were three other eyesores.
As soon as he entered, Asma's loud voice rang out.
"Captain, what did Orochimaru say? Is it going to be a decisive battle with the Sand Village ninja?"
Seeing Asma's excited expression, Mo Jingxian sat down while picking her ear.
"What are you so excited about? People can die in a big battle. Are you ready?"
"This isn't..." Asuma rubbed his hands together and sat down next to him:
"Isn't this exciting? Just think how good are our chances of winning?"
"One hundred percent." Mo Jingxian pushed Asma away: "You don't need to worry about the big battle. Don't forget what I told you: put your life first, and don't get carried away when the fighting starts."
"No, how could that be?"
"Good to know." Mo Jingxian nudged him again.
"No... why are you still lingering here? Hurry up and go back to get ready."
Asuma paused for a moment, but quickly recovered.
Her eyes darted between Lingzi and Mo Jingxian.
Then he stood up and gave a smug look: "I understand, Captain, take care of yourself."
"roll!"
"Hahaha……"
Before leaving, Mo Jingxian gave Zhishui some instructions, and Asma thoughtfully lowered the tent curtain outside.
"This kid." Mo Jingxian shook his head with a smile.
The orange flames shone brightly in the dim tent.
Ayako Hinata's cheeks flushed.
"How was it? Did your captain give you any trouble?" Mo Jingxian started the conversation.
"No." Ayako Hinata smoothed her hair. "He wouldn't dare. With you standing here, he'd have to think twice before doing anything."
"That's good."
The military tent fell silent.
After a while, Mo Jingxian slowly spoke: "Lingzi."
"Um."
It's quiet again.
He took a deep breath and spoke aloud the words he had repeatedly practiced in his mind:
"Wait a few more years for me."
Ayako Hinata raised her head, her eyes reflecting the candlelight, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"I've remembered what you said, and you can't go back on your word."
"Absolutely..."
After clarifying their relationship, the two returned to a relaxed state.
Mo Jingxian removed the black glove from her left hand, revealing a pale palm.
Ayako had seen this hand before; it turned into this grotesque shape after being injected with Hashirama cells.
"Have you thought this through? There won't be any danger, will there?" Ayako Hinata asked, a little worried.
"There's no danger." Mo Jingxian prepared her spell: "We can eliminate this potential threat just before the great battle."
He successfully extended his life using interstitial cells, but this also left behind hidden dangers.
Its corrosiveness is stronger than imagined.
Fortunately, Mo Jingxian was well-prepared and sealed it in her left hand beforehand.
Recently, the interstitial cells have shown a tendency to break through the seal and have become extremely active.
With a major battle imminent, he had no choice but to remove the bomb ahead of time.
"Won't it affect you after I pull it out?" Ayako asked him again, just to be sure.
Mo Jingxian shook her head: "No... After the Heavenly Breath Absorption Technique was upgraded, my life force is being replenished, so it's useless now."
"That's good."
Even so, Ayako Hinata remained anxious and stayed by his side without leaving for a moment.
The process of extracting Hashirama's cells went relatively smoothly, after all, he was the one who personally performed the sealing technique.
As they were gradually extracted from the seal, the cells in the stalk immediately lost their vitality.
Mo Jingxian carefully collected the dead cells, thinking they might come in handy someday.
He got up, lifted the curtain to let in some fresh air, and then turned back to give Ayako some instructions.
Three days later, the great battle began as scheduled.
Before the battle, Orochimaru conducted a mobilization meeting, and his speech was still very inspiring.
At least, the fighting spirit of the Konoha ninjas is very strong.
Unlike all previous battles, this time the two sides were evenly matched in terms of troop strength.
This was the first time Orochimaru had fought such a well-funded battle. With a wave of his hand, the Konoha troops pressed forward in a righteous and honorable manner.
At this point, all schemes were useless, and both sides were making their moves clear, needing a fair and square victory to stabilize the situation in the village.
The two armies collided like waves, and countless ninjas created brilliant moments like sprays of water before shattering away.
Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.
Orochimaru rode on a giant snake that was tens of meters long, rampaging through the Sand Ninja ranks.
He was quickly stopped by Chiyo and Ebizo working together.
Luo Sha rushed over to provide support, but was intercepted by Mo Jingxian on the way.
There is no mercy or nonsense on the battlefield.
"Magnetic Release: Golden Sand Waves!"
Luo Sha went all out upon meeting Mo Jingxian, intending to take her down in one fell swoop and provide support to Advisor Qiandai as soon as possible.
His understanding of Mo Jingxian was still based on information from a year ago.
In the past year, Mo Jingxian has rarely made a move. After arriving at the Sand Ninja front line, he was sidelined by Orochimaru.
The purpose was to catch the other side off guard today.
Without the support of a Kage-level expert, this oversight would be fatal.
"Rumble rumble rumble..."
The golden sand formed a giant wave that crashed down, making each person appear extremely small in its presence.
The waves were about twenty meters high and several tens of meters wide, clearing out the surrounding area in an instant.
Suddenly, a heavy rain began to fall.
Strangely, this rain seemed to fall only for Rasa.
As the gold sand mixed with rainwater became increasingly heavy, the control of the sand became more and more difficult.
wrong!
Luo Sha frowned as he observed, and Jin Sha stopped in front of Mo Jingxian.
The next second, the waves collapsed with a thunderous roar, scattering into a pile of garbage like an old, dilapidated building.
A closer look reveals that each grain of gold dust is coated with an outer layer, and the ice crystals shimmer with lightning under the blazing sun.
How could it be lightning?
The question had barely arisen when the gold dust began to spiral, and the magnetic escape technique exploded in reverse.
Particles coated in electric light shot towards Rosa like bullets.
"How is this possible!" Luo Sha began to build a "sand barrier".
The particles made a thumping sound when they hit it, even more densely than raindrops falling from the sky.
Luo Sha's shock didn't stop there.
He didn't understand how Mo Jingxian had dismantled his attack and used the gold dust to retaliate.
The biggest information black hole is not being able to understand it; a bad feeling creeps over you.
It's still raining.
Strangely, after the rainwater landed, it gathered into streams but did not merge into the earth.
The water seemed incompatible with this muddy ground.
Four streams flow simultaneously from the east, west, south, and north, surrounding Luosha in the middle.
At the same moment he was dealing with Mo Jingxian's attack.
The stream had meandered across the land beneath his feet, etching a pattern he couldn't understand onto the ground.
I still can't understand it!
A bad feeling crept into Luo Sha's heart once again.
Before he could make a move, Mo Jingxian's calm voice came from outside the arena.
