After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

"Pfft!"

Caught off guard by Chiyu's sudden speed, Maki, unable to react in time, didn't have time to use his earth spear or even his hardening technique, and was thus struck squarely by Chiyu.

The only problem was that Chiba's kunai, which was originally aimed at Maki's kidney, grazed past his waist.

Although it was cut open and almost ripped open, the difference from what was expected was obvious.

"brush--"

Realizing what was happening, Maki instantly created distance.

Clutching his bleeding waist, Maki's eyes were grave: "What you just used was the Thousand Years of Death, a rapid back-attack! Sure enough, I wasn't wrong before, that was White Fang's ability!"

"Oh?" Qianyu was quite surprised: "You can even see White Fang's abilities?"

"How could we not recognize him? That was the man who was once the nightmare of our Sand Village!"

Maki sighed, "If my ancestors hadn't specifically passed down their movement techniques to White Fang, I probably would have died just now!"

"The White Fang Sword Technique truly lives up to its reputation!"

"No wonder!" Qianyu suddenly realized. No wonder Maki's waist shifted slightly when she thrust the kunai at him.

She truly hadn't expected the ninja world to have such a strong memory; the things the Sand Ninja had prepared for White Fang ended up being used on her!

But if even Swift Escape fails, then things will get a bit complicated!

With a solemn expression, Qianyu crafted a longsword of ice, activated Swift Escape once more, and slashed at Maki.

This time, unlike before when she would stop after just one strike, she attacked with a relentless determination to kill Maki, her icy blue sword raining down on him.

But when faced with an attack like Chiba's, it was fortunate that Maki didn't know it was White Fang's weapon.

Upon learning this, he immediately gave up resisting and chose to harden his body with Earth Release: Earth Spear. At the same time, he used his free hands to protect vital areas such as his neck and eyes, leaving other areas to Chiyu to cut as she pleased.

For a moment, the clanging of metal striking metal and the shattering of the icy longsword filled the air.

After shattering countless icy longswords, and even using two explosive tags, Qianyu stopped.

She discovered that under the defense of Earth Release: Earth Spear, she could only inflict superficial wounds. While explosive tags could be effective, she only had two explosive tags in total.

Although the accumulation of minor injuries does not preclude her from killing, she must first exhaust her own chakra before she can do so.

Compared to a clone, a sword formed using Ice Release is still somewhat inferior.

Chiyu said helplessly, "A dignified Jonin, hiding his head like a turtle in front of a lowly Genin like me. Maki, don't you feel ashamed?"

“What’s shameful about it?” Maki scoffed at Qianyu’s words. “We desert people are not like you pretentious Konoha people. We use whatever is useful!”

"Okay, no problem!"

Qianyu was speechless. She gave Maki a deep look and said, "Then you'd better keep defending!"

After saying that, Qianyu made a few leaps to create distance between herself and Maki, and arrived at a small sand dune, where she reached out and touched it.

From the soft yellow sand, she retrieved the Sun and Moon in the Pot that she had abandoned when she first fought Gaara.

In fact, Chiba already had some ideas on how to break Maki's earth-escape technique, but he needed a specific weapon.

Seeing this, Maki was shocked: "Isn't that the sword that her clone transformed into? It's still there!! And in that spot!"

Cold sweat trickled down Maki's forehead.

He almost made it to that spot before.

Qianyu's clone has turned into a longsword, but it wasn't said that it couldn't turn back.

So this is clearly a trap set by Qianyu, just waiting for him to step into it!

This woman's scheming is incredibly deep!

So what methods will she use next?

We can't let her continue attacking us one-sidedly!

Having made his decision, Maki secretly gathered his chakra.

The next second, Chiyu, having retrieved the sun and moon from the pot, rushed towards Maki, while Maki also quickly formed hand seals.

Just as Qianyu had gone halfway, Maji slammed his palm on the ground.

"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle!"

A large amount of chakra spread along the yellow sand, and with Chiyu as the center, a swamp appeared that covered most of the venue!

In such a swamp, Chiba had no time to leap.

So, just a second ago, Qianyu was sprinting forward, but the next second she stepped into the mud and her body continued to sink under the influence of gravity.

"This is... the Swamp of the Underworld?"

Having determined what technique Maki had used, Chiyu tried to stand up by treading water.

However, Senba's chakra had no effect on this chakra creation.

Furthermore, in the short time she tried, Maki's Yellow Spring Swamp had already submerged up to Chiba's knees!

"Freeze!" Qianyu shouted urgently, brandishing her sword and unleashing a chilling aura, attempting to freeze the sea into ice.

The surface of the Yellow Springs Swamp was frozen by her, but this layer of ice could not float on the Yellow Springs Swamp. It sank continuously the moment it froze, as if there was a hand pulling it from below.

This effect greatly surprised Chiyu: "Is this the Swamp of the Underworld?"

"This A-level rating wasn't just randomly assigned!"

Chiyu originally thought that the Yellow Springs Swamp was just a simple swamp!

However, now that he understands this information, it obviously does not alleviate Chiba's current situation.

Qianyu frowned, her mind racing as she considered how to escape.

And this thought led her to realize that she had sunk into the Yellow Springs!

"It's a success?" Maki was incredulous at the result.

Just moments ago, he was locked in a fierce battle because of Qianyu!

Maki couldn't believe that Chiba had failed so easily.

But the facts told him that it seemed to be true; Chiyu did not escape from his Yellow Springs Swamp.

After a moment or two of silence, Maki chuckled, "If I'd known it was this simple, I would have used the Underworld Swamp from the start! This is terrain where there's no room to dodge!"

"Never mind, never mind all this. I wonder how the others are doing?"

Maki looked up at the audience and the direction of the third generation, wanting to know the situation of the battle there.

In this situation, he seemed completely unaware that an ice crystal frame was quietly condensing behind him!

That was Qianyu's Magic Mirror Ice Crystal!

The next moment, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it specks of the magic mirror's ice crystals' chill.

At this moment, Maki seemed to realize something and suddenly turned around and threw a punch.

At the same time, Qianyu, covered in mud, also broke through the mirror and slashed at Maji's neck with a long sword wrapped in wind!

Compared to a fist, a sword is definitely faster!

"Clang!" The Sun and Moon in the Pot struck Ma Ji's neck with a crisp sound.

At this moment, Maki turned around in astonishment and a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Kid, you've been tricked!"

"Die!"

The pitch-black fist, now imbued with Earth Release: Earth Spear, slammed fiercely into Chiyu's chest!

Judging from the fact that Kakuzu's earth spear could smash down the gate of an ancient temple with a single punch, if Maki's punch landed, Chiba would probably turn into a flat-topped Shenzhou!

However, after the sneak attack was blocked, a smile appeared in Qianyu's expressive eyes: "You're the one who fell for it!"

"Whirlwind Slash!"

"boom!"

A small tornado appeared on Qianyu's longsword!

Before Maki's fist could even touch Qianyu, an unparalleled force came from behind, pulling him into the tornado.

Ma himself was also swept up by the tornado and spun into the sky!

In the tornado, the sharp wind clashed with the earthen spears' defenses, producing a dense clanging sound.

He just didn't understand. Knowing that he had the earth spear for protection, what was the point of Qianyu's move?

Are they trying to send him flying into the sky to fall and die? But this tornado isn't rising much!

Spinning around, Maki stared wide-eyed, trying to look in Chiyu's direction.

Then he saw Qianyu place the Sun and Moon in the Pot at her waist, gently pat the hilt of the sword, and the old couple's clones understood. With another transformation, the Chinese longsword turned into a large katana.

Holding the greatsword that her clone had transformed into, Qianyu slightly bent over, assuming a clear stance of gathering power.

The next second, Qianyu took a step forward.

Maki only felt a blur before his eyes, and Qian Yu appeared in front of him, a sword light exploding in his chest!

"Pfft!"

A sharp pain shot through me!

To Maki's surprise, he discovered that even though he was still maintaining the high defensive stance of the earth spear, Qianyu's blade still managed to cut through his skin and penetrate deep into his flesh!

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the greatsword in Qianyu's hand had acquired a faint green glow.

That was wind-style chakra, as sharp and solid as his wind blade!

This is why Qianyu was determined to retrieve the clone sword!

Because ice weakens wind, only the sword formed from her clone can be imbued with such a high concentration of wind-style chakra!

The next second, the greatsword imbued with such chakra slashed through the air, creating afterimages, and grew faster and more intense.

Countless sword lights fell on Maki!

Amidst splattered blood, countless sword wounds spread across Maki's body!

After unleashing countless slashes, Qianyu delivered a final, powerful strike!

"Oh!"

Maki, his body covered in sores, fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

On the ground that has been restored from the Swamp of the Dead, a deep pit covered with spiderweb-like cracks has appeared!
