The remaining ninja also displayed their various skills, each using their proudest ninjutsu!!! But similar to Mei Terumi¹ and Miao's² situation, their ninjutsu also inexplicably vanished completely upon hitting the barrier.
"Lord Leader!!! This barrier isn't simple!! I fear all our ninjutsu are being absorbed by this barrier!!!", Ao³ spoke, his expression extremely grave.
"Absorbing ninjutsu!!!!", Mei Terumi's green eyes narrowed sharply. "Does that mean ninjutsu is useless!!!!"
"That's right. Rather than absorbing ninjutsu, it's more accurate to say it absorbs chakra," Miao stated calmly, his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan⁴ open.
"We use chakra to form ninjutsu, while this barrier does the complete opposite, converting ninjutsu back into chakra and absorbing it," Miao explained, his expression extremely grave.
"Damn it!!!", All the allied forces ninja were now panicking. Ninjutsu is ineffective? Then how could they fight? Now, the allied forces finally fully realized the terror of this secret technique passed down from the First Mizukage⁵.
Not only could it absorb the moisture from the air and even within human bodies inside the barrier, but it could even absorb the chakra of all ninjutsu within the barrier! This meant they had now become lambs waiting for slaughter! If they had no other means, they could only wait for death!!! Once the human body loses too much moisture, they would undoubtedly die!!
"When we entered Kirigakure, they put up a symbolic resistance, deliberately luring us here just to use this barrier to trap and kill us all? What sinister fellows!!!", Miao thought inwardly.
"Heh heh, now you finally realize it? You rebels actually thought you could overthrow the Mizukage's rule? When you die, remember well the reason for your failure: it's because I am the true successor to the Mizukage title," the Fourth Mizukage⁶ said with a cold smile.
"Ah!!!", Constant wails echoed within the barrier. Quite a few people had already started collapsing to the ground, unable to hold on. Many people's skin was cracked and dry, becoming gaunt like skeletons, their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets – extremely horrifying.
"Damn it!!!", Miao was also half-kneeling on the ground. A sense of weakness and dizziness continuously assaulted his mind. Mei Terumi's face was also incredibly pale at this moment. She shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't panic!!!! Let's all use ninjutsu to attack the same spot! This barrier can indeed absorb ninjutsu, but there must be a limit to its absorption!!! As long as we exceed this limit, then this barrier will also shatter!!!"
"That's right!! Everyone, pull yourselves together!!! Don't give up!!", Ao also vigorously rallied the allied forces.
"The leader is right. This barrier is ultimately just a barrier. No matter how much chakra it can absorb, there must be an upper limit; it can't possibly absorb chakra without limit. Everyone's attacks before were too scattered, so it's normal that we couldn't break the barrier. If we concentrate all our power onto one spot, maybe there's a chance!!", Miao said to the listless Deidara⁷ beside him.
"Damn Mizukage!!! When I get out of this barrier, if I don't blast him to smithereens, my name isn't Deidara!!!", Deidara said fiercely.
"Everyone aim for the same spot and activate ninjutsu simultaneously!!! Get ready!!!!", Mei Terumi shouted loudly.
"Hmph!!!", The Fourth Mizukage also noticed the commotion among the allied forces, but he didn't say anything, merely giving a disdainful cold snort.
"Alright!!!", Hearing Mei Terumi's words, the allied forces ninja's morale soared instantly. They immediately began forming hand seals at the same time. "Water Style: Great Water Sphere Jutsu!!!!!", "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!!!!", "Wind Style: Wind Blade!!!!!", "Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet Jutsu!!!!!", "Boom!!!", A massive amount of chakra erupted, countless ninjutsu slamming into the same spot on the barrier.
"Fire Style—Great Fireball Jutsu!!!!", Miao also quickly formed seals, spewing a giant fireball from his mouth that blasted towards the same spot.
"Clay Spiders!!!", Deidara also flung countless white clay spiders from his palms, which rapidly flew towards the same location.
"BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", A tremendous noise erupted as all the ninjutsu struck the same spot on the giant blue barrier almost simultaneously. This time, it was the combined power of everyone in the allied forces. The blue barrier began to visibly dent outwards under the immense force.
"It's working!!!!", Mei Terumi and the allied forces ninja instantly lit up, joy appearing on their faces. But in the next moment, their expressions drastically changed.
The barrier, which looked like it was about to be breached, suddenly stopped moving. Instantly, all the ninjutsu began to rapidly disappear, absorbed by the barrier once again.
"How is this possible!! It was clearly about to break!!!", Ao cried out in disbelief. The faces of the other allied forces ninja also turned ashen.
"Hmm!!!", Miao seemed to sense something. His crimson Sharingan abruptly looked towards the numerous Mist Anbu⁸ surrounding them on all sides of the barrier. "So that's how it is!!!!"
"How could this happen!!!", Mei Terumi's face was filled with dismay. She hadn't expected that even the combined power of all the allied forces couldn't break this barrier.
"It's not that the barrier cannot be broken. If it were just based on the power from moments ago, the barrier could have been broken. The problem likely lies with those Anbu surrounding us!!!", Miao stated calmly.
"What!!!", Mei Terumi was instantly shocked, sharply turning her gaze towards the Mist Anbu tightly encircling the barrier. Those Anbu remained motionless, all maintaining hand seal postures.
"What exactly is....!!", Mei Terumi looked around in astonishment.
"If I haven't guessed wrong, although part of the attack we just launched was absorbed by this barrier, it actually did reach the barrier's absorption limit. However, the remaining power was absorbed by these Anbu through some means. It seems these Anbu are doing more than just maintaining this barrier," Miao said, his expression grave.
