Chapter 282: Annihilation of the Sarutobi Clan

The Sarutobi clan's homeland in Konoha Village is a part of the brain program that must be eliminated. The Clone Corps and the Iron Armor Corps are besieging the Sarutobi clan in full swing. The battlefield is filled with smoke, explosions and screams, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Asuma Sarutobi stood in the center of the battlefield, his eyes were like torches, and the chakra blade in his hand flashed a cold light. His face was twisted with anger, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were full of hatred for his country.

"The Sarutobi clan will defend Konoha to the death!" he shouted, his voice full of determination and desperation. He swung his arm violently, and the chakra blade slashed at an approaching clone, cutting it in half.

Kurenai stood beside him, her expression equally resolute. She quickly formed seals with both hands and launched an illusion, "Tree Binding Kill!" Tree roots emerged from the ground one after another, tightly wrapping around several clones. Kurenai's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, "Don't even think about harming Konoha!"

However, the clone army was almost immune to illusions, their eyes were empty and they showed no fear. Before dying, the biochemical viruses in some clones were activated, and they quickly mutated into licker-type and tyrant-type monsters. Their appearances were hideous and terrifying, and they quickly pounced on the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan and the Yuhi clan.

A Licker rushed towards Asuma, and he quickly turned around and attacked with his chakra blade. However, the monster's strength and speed were far beyond that of an ordinary person, and his attack only tore the opponent's skin and failed to stop it from moving forward. Asuma's face showed a trace of anxiety, but he did not retreat. He faced the monster head-on and started a close combat with it.

Seeing the change in the battle situation, Xihi Hong quickly formed seals with her hands again and cast a stronger illusion. But the Licker completely ignored her attack and rushed straight towards her. Hong's expression changed from determination to astonishment. She quickly retreated, trying to distance herself from the monster, but the monster was extremely fast and approached in an instant.

The Iron Armor troops descended from the sky, and their powerful weapons systems were aimed at the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan and the Yuhi clan. Lasers, beams, and explosions continued to sound on the battlefield. One by one, the ninjas were hit, fell down screaming, and blood splattered on the ground.

Asuma watched his companions fall one by one, and the grief and anger in his heart almost overwhelmed him. He brandished the chakra knife and rushed towards the enemy desperately, with endless anger and despair in every knife. His movements became faster and faster, but the number and attack power of the enemies were too strong, and his body was gradually covered by the enemy's attacks.

Yuhi Kurenai's illusion still worked on the battlefield, but facing so many enemies who were immune to illusions, her strength was gradually exhausted. There was a trace of despair in her eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and continued to fight.

The clones' attacks became more and more fierce, and the brutal attacks of the Lickers and Tyrants made the battlefield even bloodier. A ninja from the Sarutobi clan was torn apart by the Lickers, his body torn into pieces, and blood splattered. Another ninja from the Yuhi clan was hit by the beam of the Iron Armor, and his whole body was blown into pieces, and his flesh and blood were blurred.

There were more and more corpses on the battlefield, and broken limbs and corpses were everywhere. Sarutobi Asuma's heart was filled with sadness and anger. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he continued to fight with gritted teeth. His chakra blade was already stained with blood, but he had no intention of retreating.

"We can't fall like this! Konoha's will will not yield!" Asuma shouted loudly, his voice full of despair and determination. Every time he attacked, he was filled with endless anger, trying to use his own strength to protect his companions behind him.

Yuhi Kurenai also did not give up. Her illusion still worked on the battlefield, but her physical strength and chakra were also rapidly depleted. A trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and insisted on holding on.

"Asuma, we can't retreat!" Yuhi Kurenai shouted, trying to boost the morale of her companions.

"I know, Hong, we must hold on!" Asuma responded with red eyes and veins.

The cruelty of the battle made everyone feel endless pain and despair. The attacks of the clone army and the iron armor put the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan and the Yuhi clan into a desperate situation, but they still resisted tenaciously.

"Don't! Don't kill me! Ah!!!"

A young ninja from the Sarutobi clan was thrown down by the tyrant, and his screams resounded throughout the battlefield. His body was torn apart by the monster's claws, and blood gushed out. Asuma saw this scene, his heart was filled with endless grief and anger, but he knew that he could not stop.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Monster!"

"Help me! Help me!"

"Ninjutsu..."

Yuhi Kurenai, who had been frantically forming seals with both hands to release illusions, finally ran out of energy. Her body was shaking with exhaustion, but she still stood on the battlefield, trying to use her last bit of strength to protect her companions. Her eyes, with disheveled hair, showed a trace of determination. She could not fall down.

The battle on the battlefield became more and more intense, and the attacks of the clone army and the iron armor became more and more fierce. The ninjas of the Sarutobi clan and the Yuhi clan were gradually defeated in this desperate battle and fell one by one.

Asuma's body was gradually covered by the enemy's attacks, his movements became slow, but he still did not give up.

"Pfft!"

Asuma, who was pierced, shouted loudly: "Konoha's will will not yield!" and brandished the chakra knife to fight the enemy. His body was already stained with blood, but his determination was still as solid as a rock.

Kurenai's body was gradually covered by the enemy's attacks. She looked at Asuma in front of her with tears streaming down her face: "Asuma, you must hold on!"

"I know... Hong, we will definitely make it through!" Asuma said with a smile without turning around: "Our wedding hasn't even taken place yet."

In Orochimaru's eyes, the Sarutobi clan fell into an unprecedented desperate situation. On the battlefield, the wailing and roaring of the ninjas and the ruthless attacks of the enemy intertwined, forming a cruel picture. The illusion of Yuhi Kurenai gradually lost its effect, and Sarutobi Asuma's chakra sword was stained with blood, but they still fought tenaciously.

"This is the cruelty of war." Orochimaru, who had transformed back into human form, looked at the battle in the Sarutobi clan's territory and smiled playfully: "The Sarutobi clan has so many ninjas. Hyuga? Uchiha? Sarutobi is the largest family in Konoha."

"We can't retreat, Hong!" Asuma panted, staggered, and shouted the most important name in grief and anger. Beside him were several tribesmen who helped him block the fatal attack. As long as Hong could still respond to his words, he would not fall.

Sometimes, love is so beautiful.

The disheveled Yuhi Kurenai bit her lip, blood flowing down the corner of her mouth. She quickly formed seals with her hands, roared viciously, and released the illusion again. Tree roots emerged from the ground and wrapped around the enemy's body, trying to buy some breathing time for her companions. But these enemies continued to attack like ruthless machines without fear.

"Chakra... is almost exhausted..." Yuhi Kurenai growled and held on. War makes people grow up quickly.

A clone suddenly rushed from the side, and Asuma turned around and used his chakra knife to meet it. The blade flashed and the clone's body was split in half, but Asuma also exposed a flaw. Another clone took the opportunity to attack from behind, and the sharp blade pierced his body, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Asuma...!" Xihihong screamed in pain, her eyes full of pain and despair.

Asuma endured the severe pain and turned around to kill the enemy behind him. But he could no longer keep his balance and staggered to the ground. Yuhi Kurenai limped over and caught Asuma who was about to fall to the ground, tears streaming down her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Hong... I... I tried my best..." Asuma's voice was weak and his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Don't...talk, we will...get through it!" Xi Ri Hong tried hard to hold back her tears, her voice full of reluctance to part with her lover.

But she knew that this was just self-consolation. The number of enemies was too large, and their strength was too strong. Almost all the ninjas from the Sarutobi clan and the Yuhi clan fell. She had very little chakra left, and the illusion could no longer be maintained.

The Clone Corps and Iron Man Armor pressed forward step by step, and their offensive became more and more fierce. Xi Rihong's body was gradually covered by the enemy's attack, her movements became slow, and her physical strength was almost exhausted.

"Asuma, we have to hold on together... together..." Her voice was choked and tears blurred her vision.

The last ninja of the Sarutobi clan was pierced by the enemy's sharp blade, and his screams echoed in the air. The warriors of the Sarutobi clan and the Yuhi clan fell one after another, blood flowed like a river, and corpses were scattered all over the ground. Yuhi Kurenai's body was also stabbed, and her eyes gradually dimmed. At the last moment, her hand tightly grasped Asuma's hand, with endless pain and reluctance in her eyes.

"Asuma..." She whispered softly, and then fell into darkness.

On the battlefield, the clone army and the Iron Man armor were like the merciless god of death, ruthlessly harvesting every life. The clans of the Sarutobi and Yuhi clans were completely destroyed, and all the resistance were ruthlessly killed. The bloody scene was chilling, and the remaining buildings were reduced to ashes in the flames.

Orochimaru watched all this grimly, without a trace of pity on his face. The destruction of the Sarutobi clan and the Yuhi clan marked the success of the Umbrella Plan step by step. The life and death of the enemy meant nothing to them. Orochimaru waved his hand, signaling the troops to continue advancing.

Some families in Konoha must die.

"Eliminate all those who resist and leave no one alive." Orochimaru ordered coldly, without any fluctuation in his tone.

The clone army and the Iron Man armor quickly executed the order. Their movements were mechanical and precise, and they eliminated all the remaining ninjas one by one. There was no mercy, no hesitation, it was a complete massacre. The blood dyed the land red, and the corpses piled up like a mountain. The clans of the Sarutobi clan and the Yuhi clan were completely destroyed, and all the resistance were ruthlessly eliminated.

"Konoha's will will not surrender..." Asuma's last words echoed in the wind, as if reminding everyone that although the enemy is powerful, the spirit of Konoha Village will never be destroyed.

But at this moment, this sentence seems so illusory and powerless. The destruction of the Sarutobi clan and the Yuhi clan is just the beginning of this war, and a greater crisis is still waiting for the ninjas of Konoha Village to face.
