Xin glanced at the rushing enemy and sighed. Manda, growing restless, could barely contain itself. It wanted nothing more than to obliterate these little pests. But without the order, it didn't dare move. All it could do was sit still.
At the perfect moment, Ophis leaped from Manda's head.
But no one paid attention to such a small, cute creature.
The next second...
"ROAR!!!"
A massive White Snkae even larger than Manda, appeared in the middle of the battlefield. With a single flick of its long tails, countless Suna shinobi were sent flying, turning the scene into utter chaos.
No one had expected the cute, cat-sized snake to suddenly transform into a terrifying monster.
"Anyone who tries to harm Xin... must die!"
With a mighty roar, Ophis charged into the swarm of enemies. Its massive tail, each large enough to be embraced by several men, came crashing down. One by one, Suna shinobi were either crushed into the ground or torn apart by its powerful tail.
Ophis's Giant Snake Form whipped through the battlefield like a deadly machine, slicing through the enemy ranks as though harvesting crops. Dozens fell at once, unable to escape its wrath.
What kind of monster is this?
Many stood frozen, eyes wide with disbelief as they watched Ophis rampage.
The Konoha ninjas were dumbstruck, and the Suna shinobi fared no better. Only Xin, perched on a rock, calmly watched the spectacle unfold.
"Am-monster!"
Many of the Suna shinobi were paralyzed with fear. Fighting against Konoha's ninjas was one thing, but facing a creature like Ophis was beyond what they could handle. The sheer terror magnified every weakness, and once fear set in, it consumed them.
For some, the best they could do was turn and run, their minds too overwhelmed by fear to even think about fighting.
Look at what happened during the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha. That alone showed how terrifying these tailed beasts could be much more Ophis who is larger than any Tail Beast.
Without a Kage-level shinobi to hold it back, how could a mere group of hundreds hope to stand a chance? This was a one-sided massacre. Am I seeing things?
Hyūga Kaze, still leading his men in keeping a watch for sneak attacks, was stunned. There wasn't much need to worry about an ambush anymore; the enemy was too busy worrying about their own survival.
Is this really Xin-sama's summon?
It's terrifying.
Even the Konoha ninjas stood in awe, while the Suna shinobi fled in panic, few having the courage to even try attacking Ophis. Their standard jutsu, kunai, and explosive tags did nothing but lightly scratch its scale.
