Second Style Shell, Fire!

Blowing it up was not an option.

It had to be sealed.

Muzake clenched his fist.

He was unwilling to let such a good energy source be sealed.

It was such a waste.

When would his giant city puppet ever stand tall?

In the brainwave enhancement chamber,

The light cluster of Saber Princess Altair was pulsing rhythmically.

Muzake's unwillingness was transmitted.

Altair's eyelids began to twitch.

Her saber started to rotate around her.

Muzak could only say regretfully, "Then seal it."

He glanced at Jugo.

"Can we save him before sealing?"

Orochimaru: "It might come at a high cost."

No giving up, no abandoning.

Muzake: "We have to try."

Before Muzake could act,

Gaara, Sasori, Deidara, Kankuro, Sasuke, and others arrived.

Tank squads from the first and second units also rushed in.

Gaara and Sasuke landed on the snake's head.

Sasori and Kankuro, piloting their mechas, stood on either side of the tank squads.

Deidara stood on top of a tank.

Manda grumbled inwardly.

"Damn, are you having a tea party on my head?"

But Muzake was too fierce.

Manda could only stay still.

Gaara reported,

"Teacher, the village is calm, everything is fine."

"Temari and Kurotsuchi are arranging ambulances to rescue and treat the workers who returned."

Now, the Sand Village has developed its medical ambulances.

In the future, Sand Village medical ninjas could summon ambulances using scrolls, quickly establishing medical stations on the frontline.

Muzak was delighted.

"Good."

Muzake pointed to the giant Jugo amidst the metal storm.

"Now, we need to rescue Jugo first."

"And then seal the Dragon Vein."

Muzake's voice was heavy.

It was a huge pity.

It felt like missing out on a million-dollar jackpot.

Gaara looked at Jugo.

"Teacher, let our tank squad try first."

"We'll blast him free from the Dragon Vein."

Muzake: "Alright, give it a try."

Gaara immediately gave the order.

"First and second units, prepare."

"Load the cannons!"

"Target the junction of the giant and the Dragon Vein, blow it apart."

The first and second units received the order.

Forty tank cannons aimed in unison.

"Second Style Shells, load!"

"Second Style Shells, load!"

"Load Ice Style Shells!"

Second Style Shells were jutsu shells, combining two different nature jutsu scrolls into one shell.

Two different nature jutsu scrolls activated in sequence could produce effects similar to Kekkei Genkai.

For example, combining wind and water creates Ice Style, or fire and water create Boil Release.

This was something the now-wealthier Sand ninja had researched.

In the past, the Sand ninjas had to be frugal with even a single jutsu scroll.

Now, they were rich.

They could throw scrolls around.

Naturally, they had the money and resources to research and conduct explosive experiments.

Some jutsu researchers, seeing tank shells, thought of combining different nature scrolls to make shells.

Mixing one or two different nature scrolls might have little effect.

But hundreds?

With enough scrolls and quantity, changes were bound to happen.

Inspired by Muzake's philosophy of compensating for lack of firepower with quantity, these researchers began spending a lot of money on research.

An essential training project for the tank squads was firing scroll shells with different ratios.

Fortunately, the Sand Village had vast deserts, providing ample space for their artillery tests.

After extensive spending and non-stop shelling,

They developed shells similar to Kekkei Genkai.

They were collectively called Second Style Shells.

They were working on Third Style Shells besides continuing their Second Style Shell research.

They might even develop Five Style Shells in the end.

Forty tanks were ready.

Muzake withdrew the steel wool tornado and electric grid formation.

"Fire!"

"First unit, fire!"

"Second unit, fire!"

Boom.

Boom boom.

The tanks fired.

Forty cannons roared in unison.

Forty Ice Style shells hit Jugo's waist,

The power of forty Ice Style shells was genuinely astonishing.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Crack, crack, crack.

Jugo's waist was instantly frozen.

Perched on a tank, Deidara exclaimed, "Wow, the artistic value of this explosion is high!"

Loving explosions, he mingled with these bomb enthusiasts after every dusty day.

Colorful, exotic explosions.

He loved it.

The cold air slowed Jugo's movements.

He slowed down.

Sasuke leaped.

He began his release.

A Chidori struck his blade.

Sizzle sizzle.

The Kusanagi Sword transformed into a 15-meter-long lightning blade.

With a flash step, he reached Jugo's waist.

Slash.

The lightning blade struck the frozen waist.

Crack, crack, crack.

Ice shattered.

Piloting his mecha, Sasori wielded a giant sword to cut from the other side.

Both sides attacked together.

The ice shattered faster.

The ice on Jugo's waist fell like an avalanche.

Jugo's beast-like eyes showed confusion.

What happened?

Then, like a broken statue, his upper body began to fall.

Muzak was delighted.

Had they succeeded?

At that moment,

A deep, dragon-like roar came from underground.

Boom.

The earth trembled.

A massive surge of Dragon Vein energy erupted like a volcano from the underground hole.

It engulfed Sasuke, Sasori, and Jugo.

Sasuke and Sasori quickly retreated.

The Dragon Vein fountain instantly swallowed Jugo.

The purplish-blue energy surged skyward like a fountain.

The corrosive energy fell to the ground, eroding the earth.

Muzake and the others also retreated to avoid the corrosive range.

The fountain subsided.

Jugo reappeared.

This time, he was even more significant and more robust.

He now had horn-like dragon horns on his head.

He seemed to have undergone a demonic dragon transformation.

Muzake frowned.

Kabuto then spoke.

"Master, let me try."

"My new ability."

Muzake: "A Stand? What's its name?"

Kabuto: "White Administrator!"
