The Kaguya Clan loves battle. Basically, everyone in the clan is a battle - junkie, and they only obey the strong.
Apparently, this commander isn't strong enough to make these Kaguya Clan members obey his orders.
This is also the reason why the Third Mizukage sent the Kaguya Clan to the battlefield. Instead of letting them stay in the Mist Ninja Village and run amok like a pack of wild dogs, it's better to send them to the front lines.
However, this is a battlefield. Even though the Kaguya Clan is powerful, blindly charging forward without following commands will definitely lead to a big loss.
The Mist Ninja commander, with a splitting headache, rubbed his temples. Even though there was a high chance of a booby - trap on the Konoha side, he couldn't just abandon so many people.
"Damn it, I should've known better than to side with Kyohō Hohozuki during the fight for the Second Kage position back then. Now, I'm being given the cold shoulder and treated unfairly by the Third Mizukage and assigned this kind of task."
On Yue Yan's side, they sensed that many Mist Ninjas were speeding towards them. Then they stopped at the edge of the booby - trap and activated the Scroll that Orochimaru had given them earlier. Now, they just had to wait for the Mist Ninjas to step into the booby - trap.
"Yahoo! I spot those Konoha brats! There are four of them. Don't anyone try to steal them from me!"
The leading Kaguya Jonin charged forward, laughing maniacally. Spikes of bone extended from all over his body, clearly indicating that he was in a battle - ready state.
Not only he, but also the other Kaguya Ninjas went crazy the moment they saw Yue Yan and the others, just like a school of piranhas that had smelled blood.
Looking at the hordes of the Kaguya Clan charging towards them, even though they knew there was a booby - trap ahead, Hizashi Hyuga and Fugaku couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines after feeling the crazy and blood - thirsty aura from the Kaguya Clan members.
On the other hand, Yue Yan and Orochimaru remained relatively calm.
Orochimaru narrowed his yellowish - snake eyes and involuntarily licked his lips, muttering to himself.
"They say the Kaguya Clan are all crazy. I wonder if it's because of the Shikotsumyaku itself. Maybe I can study it. Well, let's see if I can get a few intact corpses later."
The first few Kaguya Ninjas stopped not far from Yue Yan and the others. Laughing maniacally, they raised their hands, and a section of finger bone extended from their fingers, then shot out like bullets at high speed.
Seeing this, Hizashi Hyuga stepped forward and performed Rotating Heaven, blocking all these Bone Pellets.
Seeing the signature Hyuga ninjutsu Rotating Heaven, these Kaguya Ninjas got even more excited. They were eager to fight strong opponents.
"Hahaha, I'll tear you all to pieces..."
Before one of the Kaguya Ninjas could finish his sentence, after seeing that most of them had stepped into the booby - trap area, Orochimaru didn't hesitate and formed seals to detonate the pre - set Explosive Tags.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a deafening roar, a towering column of fire erupted like a volcanic explosion. The rising black smoke billowed up like a mushroom cloud, and Daichi trembled as a fierce gust of air raged.
To attract enough Mist Ninjas, Yue Yan and his comrades stood relatively close to the explosion area and cast their defensive ninjutsu to withstand the explosion's aftermath.
However, the explosion didn't end after the first thunderous noise. A series of rapid explosions followed.
Although two hundred thousand Explosive Tags didn't sound as impressive, their actual power was by no means weak. Unless someone used Izanagi like Obito Uchiha in the original story, even if the current Five Kage stepped into the explosion range, they would surely meet their end.
Perhaps the Third Raikage could break out in time with his Lightning Bolt Armor, but he would definitely be injured.
The explosion soon subsided. Just when Yue Yan and the others thought the mission was accomplished, a bone spur shot out and, coincidentally, pierced through Yue Yan's ninja tool bags and shredded the Scroll inscribed with the teleportation jutsu.
Looking at the useless Scroll on the ground, Yue Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. He felt as if he was being targeted by fate; otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
Just then, several Kaguya Clan ninjas, covered in blood with some of their bones exposed, stared fixedly at Yue Yan and his companions with blood - red eyes.
"Hahaha! It really hurts! You Konoha brats, die!"
Taking a closer look, one could tell that bone fragments had extended from parts of their bodies where there were originally no bones to act as shields. These surviving Kaguya Clan members from the explosion had all developed their Shikotsumyaku to a high level.
At the beginning of the explosion, these advanced - level Shikotsumyaku Kaguya ninjas had protruded bones from all over their bodies to encase themselves, blocking most of the explosive damage.
Although more than half of them were killed, the injured Kaguya Clan members were all elites. Now they were like rabid dogs, with only one thought in their minds: to tear their enemies apart.
Not to mention that there were still some Mist Ninjas who weren't from the Kaguya Clan and hadn't rushed into the Booby Trap area, and they were about to arrive.
Seeing this scene, Hizashi Hyuga frowned.
"Yue Yan, I'll give you my Scroll. Can you teleport away?"
Hizashi obviously noticed that Yue Yan's teleportation Scroll had been destroyed. Worried about his student, he was ready to sacrifice himself.
Hearing this, Yue Yan shook his head.
"No need, Teacher Hizashi."
Hizashi, apparently misunderstanding something, got anxious when he saw Yue Yan's expression.
"Yue Yan, you're the future of Konoha. You must survive..."
Before Hizashi could finish, Yue Yan raised his hand to interrupt him.
"First, I can't use Teacher Hizashi's teleportation Scroll. Second, they're just some rabid dogs injured by the explosion. I don't give a damn about them."
Hearing this, Hizashi Hyuga didn't believe Yue Yan. He just thought Yue Yan was still young and couldn't see the situation clearly. Even a mad dog injured by an explosion was still a mad dog, not to mention there were many more Mist Ninjas coming.
At this time, Orochimaru beside him whispered with a smile and patted Hizashi Hyuga on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. Yue Yan-kun is very strong."
Even after hearing what Orochimaru said, Hizashi Hyuga still couldn't calm down. Gritting his teeth, he tore up his own Scroll.
"Yue Yan, I'll stay with you. If we really can't escape, I can buy you some time."
Yue Yan was really touched when he heard this, but he still felt a bit speechless about the somewhat rigid Hizashi Hyuga.
"It's so touching. Since that's the case, I'll stay too."
Saying that, Orochimaru also tore up his Scroll.
Fugaku, standing beside them, looked at the Scroll in his hand which would activate in half a minute. After sighing, he also tore it up.
"Carrying the honor of the Uchiha Clan, I will never abandon my companions."
Seeing this, Yue Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. In the end, his eyes became firm as he looked at the ninjas charging over.
"Okay, then let's cause a big stir!"
After saying that, Yue Yan punched his right palm with his left fist, adopting the signature pose of the future crown prince. The next moment, countless dazzling golden thunderbolts enveloped his body. As the long thunder tail extending from behind him swayed, crackling arcs of electricity flashed.
