Surrounded (Part-3)

Near Kannabi Bridge, Kan was fighting for his life as within this period of time he slashes away the fifth Iwa shinobi with his heavy sword.

A total of thirty-two Iwa shinobis appeared in a circling formation and surrounded Kan.

"I... don't want to... die", Mikoto had always been awake and she clearly understood the current predicament. She, who was pressed against on Kan's back with a spear, slightly struggled to speak up.

"Me neither", Kan smiled a little as he engaged with the incoming Iwa shinobis. His sword-swinging speed naturally decreased, as he was wielding a very heavy sword that he never held before.

However, it was still as ferocious and tyrannical. Each one of his swings was huge and wide, bringing about the whistling of the wind as the sword sliced through the air, causing the destruction of the Iwa shinobis one after another before they could even approach him.

The sounds of exploding continued without rest. Although he was wielding the heavy sword with a single hand, although he was hugging onto and protecting someone with his left arm, Kan still didn't back down.

In less than two minutes, under Kan's dozens of continuous swings with his heavy sword, they all Iwa shinobis turned into shattered pieces of flesh on the ground.

The Heavy sword broke down.

Kan never cared. He was not a heavy sword user anyway.

"The... spear. It's...", She spoke with slight pain in her voice.

Huff Huff

"I know it hurts... but endure, the moment we remove the spear... we will die of blood loss. Both of us"

She barely nodded her head.

"Mikoto... that's why I said not to get involve with Minato's students. That guy is nothing but trouble"

"What... are... you---

She couldn't complete her sentence

Before Iwa shinobis charged at him.

Kan jumped back.

Looking at the Iwa shinobis encircling him, Kan took a deep breath as he made a Horse sign.

"Wind Release: Pressure Singularity"

Utilizing the ceaseless winds; Kan creates a core composed of the wind as he keeps creating shells around it, compressing them even further. This causes a gargantuan, constant increase in the ever-increasing pressure generated by the wind.

And without waiting for a moment, Kan detonates it, causing an immense explosion of expanding wind that engulfs and levels all in its path.

BOOOMMM

Boom… Boom...

The enemies blow away one after another, and their bodies shattered one after another… Right here and now, he, who had Mikoto in his embrace was extremely focused.

He never was in these conditions before... He is a coward by nature. He would run away if there was ever a hint of danger. But right now, at this moment. He was fighting without a hint of wanting to run away.

Why? The moment he runs away and shows his back to them, he will die.

Many still come at him.

"Void"

By utilizing his unique mastery of winds, Kan cups his hands together, forming a void. By doing so, any attack from any direction is directed instantly to this void, nullifying and erasing it completely.

Kan flew back and the dust cloud settled up. But nothing happened to Kan who jumped out of it pretty much unhurt.

Kan made hand signs to produce a manifestation of a dragon. This dragon appears to exhale, with nothing coming out its mouth.

ROOAAARRR

Anyone exhaled is systematically erased from existence.

Kan coughed blood. He does not have enough chakra to hold it.

Gahhh

Kan's mouth was wide open and there was a hole in his chest that traveled through Mikoto just below the spear embedded on them. Filling both holes with red blood.

He stumbled and steps back with unsteady legs.

Mikoto grit her teeth and hurriedly put the green hue palm on his chest.

"Get... hold of yourself", She said with little strength of her own as she only healed a little before falling unconscious. But that was enough to protect him from immediate danger.

Although the blood is still coming out, he can grind his way through.

"I summon you forth. Wind Release: Curse technique: Blades of the eternal void"

Kan shapes the wind into blades, one invisible and the other black. These blades are special. Upon inflicting injuries on the target, they don't heal by any means whatsoever, cursing the target with eternal injuries.

The invisible blade passes through all defenses, while the black blade voids all before it.

It was a technique that combines both defense and attack.

These swords come with a very special function too. Upon looking away from it, all memories or recordings of its existence will vanish from all history, making it impossible for another to replicate it outside of Kan teaching it.

In a battle like this, Kan's knowledge was thoroughly displayed.

He defends any and all attacks using the black void sword. While using the invisible white sword to cut the Iwa shinobis.

There was no protection from it. Neither earth wall nor stone armor could protect against the white sword. It's the ultimate weapon that could cut through Susanoo.

With another set brandishing the sword, the wave of Iwa shinobis had turned into bloody rubble as well.

Kan stabbed swords into the ground as he began to crazily gulp the air.

Huff Huff

It was still not the end.

A large number of Jutsu flashed around Kan. There was no way to defend against this many Jutsus that scattered with different timings.

Kan's eyes hardened as he used another technique...

...

When Minato and his team came. They saw this terrifying scene. The entire area has been redefined into barren land. It could be more appropriate to call it hell. Corpses after corpses were lying on the ground.

And in the midst of all of this was a bloody figure from head to toe, standing on the mountain of corpses.

Kan was the only person standing on this battlefield.

Kan, who was standing on the corpses with bloody Mikoto on his back and a spear joining them had his head down. His breathing was very slow, probably on the verge of death, the same goes for her.

Minato and his team hurriedly came rushing at them.

...

"This spear... can we remove it?", Minato asks Rin

She shook her head, "It's because there is a spear still embedded on them that they are not bleeding heavily. Even if it's causing internal bleeding it's still good enough for the time being. The most urgent problem is this hole on their chests piercing through their backs. If it's not healed urgently, they will die"

"We need them back to Konoha Hospital"

"Will they survive the space-time Continuation. With their condition, it will worse...

"Sensei... They won't survive here in any condition. No matter how slim, only if they reach Konoha Hospital do we have a chance"

Minato nodded. This travel might kill these two. But it's the only thing that can protect them as well.

He held everyone and with a flash. He disappeared.

And that's how the mission of the Kannabi bridge was over.
