Chapter 194: The Flesh and Blood of Tailed Beasts
Faced with the gap between the Five-Tails Beast's attacks, not all Iwagakure ninjas had the courage to rely on luck to break through. Given such a precarious situation, with the beast in front, the Umino troops behind, traps to the left, and Konoha's fire battalion to the right, most of the remaining ninjas, who were low-grade genin, gave up and began to surrender.
The three hundred Umino troops, while not very effective in direct combat, were skilled at taking prisoners. A small number of Iwa ninjas, however, ran into the detonating talisman trap or decided to perish with the Konoha ninjas, but they were eliminated by the shadow clones.
Just as Sasuke and his troops were taking prisoners, a clone emerged from the ground and handed him a sealing scroll before dissipating.
"Is this the flesh and blood of the Five-Tails Beast frozen in liquid nitrogen?" he wondered, as he received the clone's memories. The scroll contained the same chakra flesh that had been frozen by the Twin Dragon Bullet Jutsu. The spore clone hidden underground had collected it.
Sasuke watched the flesh with burning passion. If he just sprayed it with liquid nitrogen a few more times, couldn't he extract tons? He had plenty to spare. Orochimaru's production technology was exceptional, and the cost of extracting nitrogen from the air was remarkably low.
With this in mind, he left his shadow clone in command and remounted Shirotaka, flying towards the Five-Tails Beast. However, before he could use his makeshift Ice Style, a golden staff hit the beast's waist, sending it flying. It was the Monkey King Enma, Hiruzen's summon. Seeing the beast tip over on its side, Sasuke seized the opportunity to throw a bottle of liquid nitrogen, which exploded right above its head.
"Roar!" the beast unleashed a volley of small Tailed Beast Bombs into the air. Samehada took the opportunity to get more Yin-Yang Style chakra. Guided by Sasuke, the Five-Tails opened a path, allowing Konoha's main army to pass safely and continue their pursuit.
Sasuke and Shirotaka, far superior to the retreating Iwa ninjas, reached the front of their formation in less than a few minutes.
"This is never going to end, is it?" complained Higashino, the Iwa commander, and he secretly decided that his village should vigorously develop its air force.
With the help of Iwa's main ninja group, extracting the beast's chakra and flesh became much easier. Combining earth escape techniques, they quickly subdued the Five-Tails. Sasuke took the opportunity to throw another bottle of nitrogen, extracting handfuls of flesh, and at a crucial moment, helping the beast escape its seal.
Just as he had extracted two more handfuls, Hiruzen and Konoha's main ninja group deployed and surrounded them. The Iwa ninjas, exhausted of chakra and without ration pills, had already crumbled.
"Charge!" Konoha's main forces dispersed, engaging the Iwa ninjas in hand-to-hand combat.
"Hahaha! The outcome is decided!" Hiruzen smiled. The more chaotic the battlefield, the greater the chances of victory for Konoha.
Sasuke was about to continue plundering the beast's flesh, but a warning sounded from his radar. "Telescopic Jutsu!" He looked through the water mirror in the void, into the distance.
"Third Tsuchikage, Onoki!"
Sasuke's gaze was fixed, his heart pounding. The old man soaring in the sky was undoubtedly Onoki. In addition, the explosives unit, led by Gari, had returned to provide support.
"Are there so many jonin in the Hidden Rock Village?" he wondered in disbelief. The reinforcements led by Onoki were the elite of the elite, over two hundred men, and judging by their attire, they were all jonin.
