Chapter 123: Ch.123 Battle in the Canyon
The leader of the Yellow Springs Sect, standing atop the cliff, glanced at Uchiha Shinji and Sasuke.
His gaze lingered briefly on Sasuke's Sharingan before shifting to the carriage carrying Shion.
"Shion, you possess priestess powers even stronger than your mother's. Why resist your fate? Come, accept the destiny we share!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yellow Springs Sect members, who had been replenished with chakra, let out crazed cries and charged toward the canyon, their eyes filled with an inexplicable frenzy.
"Prepare for battle!" Asuma shouted, drawing the chakra blades from his ninja pouch and rushing forward.
Kurenai Yuhi leaped to the side of Shion's carriage, while Yamashiro Aoba quietly positioned himself near Sasuke.
The two other Jonin with them took positions at the front and rear of the convoy.
Clearly, Asuma had made a plan before the full assault began: he would take the lead, Kurenai would protect Shion, and Aoba would defend Sasuke. As for the rest of the convoy, they could only rely on their own strength.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions erupted throughout the canyon.
The Yellow Springs Sect members and the convoy began a chaotic battle all across the canyon.
