Chapter 220 - 9: Draw the Line
"Kitsuchi!"
Huang Tu stared in utter disbelief at the figure of Jing Hang standing atop the cliff wall.
Impossible! How could he be here? This place is nearly three thousand kilometers away from Sunagakure!
For a moment, Huang Tu was gripped by an inexplicable sense of dread.
Jing Hang paid no attention to the astonished gazes of the Iwagakure shinobi. Standing atop his Iron Truth-Seeking Orb, he floated gracefully into the battlefield’s skies.
The western wind howled, billowing Jing Hang’s white cloak. He stood there with his arms crossed, a confident smile playing on his lips. Five massive Iron Truth-Seeking Orbs orbited slowly around him. By now, the sun had risen high, and the cloudless sky allowed its brilliant rays to shine directly through Jing Hang’s figure, casting an ethereal glow onto the ground below. To the Iwagakure shinobi, it seemed as though Jing Hang himself was radiating divine light, like a god descending from the heavens.
Before the eyes of over ten thousand Iwagakure shinobi, Jing Hang floated steadily toward the Third Raikage.
"Brother, I’m late, but I made it just in time. Here, open your mouth."
Jing Hang carefully supported the Third Raikage’s shoulder, retrieving a small vial from his ninja pouch. Twisting off the cap, he tipped out a pill and gently placed it into the Raikage’s mouth.
The Third Raikage weakly swallowed the pill. He was too drained to speak but managed to force a strained smile at Jing Hang.
Hmm, this stuff isn’t bad! The Third Raikage felt a warm current spreading through his abdomen, and his depleted chakra reserves seemed to show faint signs of recovery.
