Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

"Damn, it's still a little slow!"

A silver knife light flashed and suddenly exploded right in front of him.

Several Iwagakure ninjas who picked up their weapons and tried to fight to the death only saw a flash of silver light in their eyes, and then the long swords and kunai in their hands shattered.

Finally, as a gust of wind blew, the fog gradually dissipated, leaving only a mess on the battlefield.

At this point, all the Rock Ninjas present were killed.

Uchiha Yi's fingers gently wiped across the ninja sword, wiped off the blood, and then put the ninja sword back into the sheath.

His footsteps were a little heavy at this moment, and finally stopped beside Xiansi's body.

Uchiha Yi slowly lowered his head, his expression becoming somewhat gloomy.

The boy who always had a warm smile and loved to joke was now lying there quietly, never to get up again.

This young face had called him captain countless times on the training ground, at family gatherings, and during missions, and admired him very much.

From now on I can only find it in my memory.

Squatting down slowly, Uchiha Yi gently stroked the face that no longer had any warmth with his right hand, and carefully closed Kenji's eyes.

Uchiha Yi showed a hint of sadness on his face, and then murmured softly: "I'm sorry, Xiansi, it's the captain who failed to protect you."

After slowly getting up, he walked over to Shisui who was slumped on the ground with his head in his hands.

In Shisui's pupils, the scarlet three-magatama Sharingan was suppressing deep pain.

"As the captain, it was my fault that I failed to protect Kenji." Uchiha Yi said slowly.

"No, it's my fault. Xiansi was trying to save me. I killed Xiansi!"

Shisui's eyes were red, filled with sadness and self-blame.

Uchiha Yi sighed softly, patted Shisui's shoulder and pulled him up.

Looking at Shisui's collapsed face, Uchiha Yi shook his head helplessly, and said in a heavy tone: "Shisui, you should have long understood the cruelty of war. As a ninja, we must be prepared to die in battle at any time. I hope you don't let Kenji's sacrifice go to waste!"

"I...I'm sorry, Brother Yi."

Shisui's shoulders trembled slightly. He reached out and wiped away the tears on his face, but his eyes were still filled with sadness and his face was pale and haggard.

At this time, the teammates around him slowly gathered around, and everyone had a hint of sadness on their face.

But as ninjas, they have long been accustomed to death and are prepared to die in battle at any time.

"Now, everyone listen to my orders and take a three-minute break!"

Uchiha Yi took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions churning in his chest.

As he took a step forward, his emotions gradually returned to their original absolute calmness.

"Don't forget, we are still on the battlefield, and we still have to support Lord Orochimaru! In three minutes, everyone follow me and set off immediately! Do you understand?!"

"Yes!!"

Although the rest time was short, it was enough for Uchiha Yi and his team to quickly adjust their status and regroup their determination to fight.

In this chaotic age, everyone has become accustomed to death.

Although the members of the Seventh Team are very young, they have the discipline of excellent ninjas due to the training they have received from their family since childhood.

Shisui's expression finally relaxed, and all the emotions in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a pair of emotionless cold eyes.

"set off!"

Following Uchiha Yi's order, the ten members of the seventh team rushed from the flank to the center of the battlefield like arrows.

……

At this moment, the air on the battlefield was so tense that it almost froze. The wind was mixed with the smell of dust and blood. Every step taken by the crowd seemed to be on the edge of the knife of fate.

The Iwa Ninja had obviously set an ambush long ago.

Not long after the battle began, nearly three hundred Rock Ninjas rushed out from the cracks in the ground, instantly reversing the situation on the battlefield.

The Konoha ninjas were caught off guard by this sudden attack and appeared extremely passive.

The command and attack of the Rock Ninjas were well-organized and clearly premeditated.

For a time, the battle was in a stalemate.

In the center of the battlefield, Orochimaru has returned to his original form and is standing on the giant python's head.

Those cold eyes still looked unusually calm.

The elite Iwagakure troop of nearly 300 people, including nearly 30 jonin, the actions of such an elite force actually evaded all detection by Konoha.

It can be seen that this action plan is far from as simple as imagined.

“Whoosh! Whoosh—”

The next moment, nearly twenty Iwagakure jonin appeared around Orochimaru and surrounded him.

In addition, there is the third-generation Tsuchikage disciple, Ishioka Masazo, who is fighting with him.

And Ishioka Shozo's guard team, seven jonin.

There were nearly thirty Iwagakure jonin present, and such a formation was enough to threaten the Kage level.

"Orochimaru, you are such an arrogant fellow. You actually stepped into the territory of our Land of Earth one after another."

Ishioka Masazo's deep voice came, "Today, you must stay with me."

Thinking of the embarrassing situation when the capital was breached by Orochimaru two years ago, the anger in Ishioka Masazo's heart gradually accumulated, but the expression on his face became calmer and calmer.

"Haha, there are many people who want to kill me. I don't think you are qualified to do so."

Orochimaru's eyes became increasingly deep, and in the deepest part of his pupils a cold light began to condense and burn. That burning light was a fierce murderous intent.

With a cruel smile on his face, Orochimaru said grimly: "It's hard to say who will die here."

"You are still very confident even though you have fallen into such an unfavorable situation, Orochimaru. But this time, you will definitely be the one to die!"

Shi Gangzhengzang's eyes flashed with coldness, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Kill!"

Then he held a machete and chopped at the giant snake under Orochimaru's feet.

Nearly thirty Iwagakure jonin around also acted together and attacked Orochimaru together.

"Master Orochimaru!"

The senior ninjas on Konoha's side also noticed this scene. Although they also wanted to support Orochimaru, the number of the opposing Iwagakure was almost twice theirs, so they could only try their best to protect themselves.

Obviously, the situation on the battlefield has become very critical for Konoha.

If the battle continues, there is a high probability that Konoha will be defeated.

Several Konoha jonin exchanged glances and reached a consensus.

This battle cannot continue any longer. Retreat is the only option now.

"Lord Orochimaru, there are too many enemies. We can't hold out for much longer. Let's retreat first!"

A Konoha jonin turned his head and looked at Orochimaru, conveying the message.

"No, the outcome of this battle is far from over. I don't think we have lost yet."

Orochimaru spoke coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

He did not fall into a disadvantage despite being besieged by nearly thirty Iwagakure jonin, and the giant snake under his feet almost took most of the attacks.

At this moment, Orochimaru's eyes began to scan the battlefield, as if looking for a certain figure.

He raised his head slightly and looked somewhere on the flank of the battlefield, a strange smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Uchiha Yi!!!"

On the flank of the battlefield, Uchiha Yi Zheng was sneaking among the ruins, the ninja sword in his hand was already stained with blood.

His original intention was to hide at the edge of the battlefield, using his speed to silently harvest the Rock Ninjas.

However, Orochimaru's call was like a thunder that broke through the sky, instantly attracting the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

At this moment, the noise of the entire battlefield seemed to have stopped.

Countless people followed Orochimaru's gaze and focused on Uchiha Yi.

For a moment, Uchiha Yi was filled with embarrassment, and the team members behind him were dumbfounded.
