Chapter 763 Ending
"So, are there any results regarding the type of poison?"
Instead of immediately dealing with Rasa's matter, Qianyao turned to Yamanaka Inoichi and asked him a question.
As one of the core figures in Konoha's intelligence department, Yamanaka Inoichi possesses extremely efficient communication methods, enabling him to quickly transmit messages to every corner of Konoha.
Therefore, all important intelligence related to this incident would continuously flow to him, where he would organize and analyze it in a unified manner.
In response to Lord Senyou's inquiry, Yamanaka Inoichi quickly gave a reply:
"Through our unremitting efforts, we have now successfully analyzed the composition and characteristics of the toxin."
"We prepared a large amount of basic antidote in advance. Now that we have analyzed the characteristics of the toxin, it will be quick to produce a special antidote."
Upon hearing this good news, Qian Yao breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then immediately followed up with another question:
"So what is the situation regarding casualties?"
Yamanaka Inoichi paused briefly, then began his report in a clear and organized manner:
"Our inner city was largely undamaged."
"The civilians and merchants in the outer city have suffered a heavy blow. According to preliminary statistics, more than 3,000 people have died. The number of people poisoned is currently around 20,000."
Qian Yao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise on his face.
In his memory, the total number of ninja that Konoha Village could mobilize was only about 20,000.
It's important to know that during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original timeline, in order to assemble 20,000 ninjas, Konoha Village even had to send those genin who only knew how to throw shuriken to the battlefield.
Seeing the change in Chiyo's expression, Yamanaka Inoichi immediately understood.
He knew that Chiyo must not have been involved in the ninja world for the previous five years and was unaware of Konoha's recent growth and expansion.
"Lord Chiyo, you are unaware of this! It is because of our Konoha Village's advanced limb reconstruction technology, superb medical skills, and Sasori's exquisite mechanical technology."
"The outer city of our Konoha is four times the size of the inner city, and the total number of people living in the outer city is twenty times that of the inner city."
"Although more than 3,000 people died in this attack, it is not a large number compared to such a large population."
Hearing this, Qian Yao was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected there to be so many people in the outer city.
He subconsciously reached out and gently touched his chin, then asked thoughtfully:
"So, among these residents, there must be both local merchants and people from other villages, right?"
After listening, Yamanaka Inoichi thought for a moment, then nodded in response:
“That’s right, Lord Qianyao. Although most of them are merchants or something similar on the surface, a considerable number of them are actually spies sent by other villages.”
At this moment, Qian Yao's eyes darted around, as if he had already made up his mind.
Immediately afterwards, he placed a hand on Yamanaka Inoichi's shoulder and, using the unique ability of the Yamanaka clan, instantly made contact with Gaara's team, who were far away on the battlefield.
At that moment, Gaara, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Rasa, and Kimimaro and Haku, who were closely watching the battle from the edge of the battlefield, suddenly heard Senyou's familiar voice in their minds at the same time.
Chiyo gave the order: "Kimimaro, you must now do your best to assist Gaara and put more pressure on Rasa to force him to transform into a tailed beast."
Then, he turned to Bai and shouted, "Bai, immediately remove the magic mirror ice crystals and stop surrounding Luo Sha."
Upon hearing Qian Yao's words, Bai, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes and began to rapidly form hand seals.
The numerous ice mirrors that had been floating in the air, gleaming with a cold light, suddenly began to melt and dissolve as if they had encountered high temperatures.
This sudden change delighted Luo Sha, who was trapped inside.
He thought that Haku's chakra had been exhausted and he could no longer maintain such a large-scale ninjutsu.
After all, the amount of chakra required to support such a wide-ranging technique is not small.
Thinking of this, Rasa was secretly delighted. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he fiercely fought Gaara while manipulating the gold dust in his hand, and at the same time, he tried his best to fly out of the encirclement.
The terrifying lightning attack was blocked by Konoha's formation. If we don't take this opportunity to escape now, we might never have another chance to leave once Minato has a chance to make his move.
Gaara, however, remained completely calm, because he had also heard Chiyo's instructions.
Although Rasa, as the former Kazekage, certainly possessed considerable strength, what he feared most as a ninja who primarily relied on ninjutsu was assassin-type taijutsu ninjas like Kimimaro, who possessed extremely high speed.
Kimimaro, who had been silently accumulating strength on the sidelines, had been focused on absorbing the natural energy around him.
When he received the order from Qianyao, he did not hesitate to lift his shirt.
In an instant, countless runes spread out like a tide, covering his entire body.
This is the state of an immortal!
Two soft "thump! thump!" sounds rang out.
Kimimaro suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his whole body leaped up like an arrow, heading straight for Rasa in the air.
Kimimaro himself cannot fly, but he has companions who assist him.
He ascended rapidly like a rocket to the top of the sky. Upon reaching the highest point, he stomped down with tremendous force without hesitation.
In an instant, a pure white light flashed, and a huge, crystal-clear, and chilling ice mirror appeared out of thin air beneath his feet.
Kimimaro cleverly used the reaction force to leap up again, and then another ice mirror appeared perfectly at his feet.
And so it went, day after day, as he soared and flew through the air like a nimble bird.
In the blink of an eye, Kimimaro's figure flashed past rapidly, and he had already approached Rasa's location at lightning speed.
After he successfully locked onto Luo Sha, Luo Sha felt an intense sense of crisis.
He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly waved his arms, manipulating the surrounding golden sand to gather like a tide, instantly wrapping himself tightly into an airtight golden sphere.
Moreover, countless sharp, pointed gold dust spikes shot out from the golden sphere, sweeping towards Kimimaro in a massive, overwhelming attack.
However, Kimimaro, who was in mid-air, displayed extraordinary skill and reaction speed in the face of this fierce attack.
He flashed forward and cleanly executed a perfect backflip.
At the same time, he suddenly swung his hands forward, and the finger bones on his ten fingers instantly turned into powerful "bullets" that shot forward!
This is Kimimaro's unique Corpse Bone Pulse technique—Ten-Finger Piercing Shot!
