Chapter 84: Dragon Sovereign Madara

Blood dyed the yellow sand red, and the wails of the wounded filled the entire battlefield.
Su Xiao sat atop a pile of corpses, pulling a kunai from his arm and tossing it aside.
The battle between 30,000 White Zetsu troops and 20,000 ninjas lasted 6 hours and 50 minutes, nearly seven hours. In the end, fewer than 200 of the 30,000 White Zetsu remained. The ninja side also suffered heavy casualties; aside from the hundred or so who escaped, nearly 20,000 ninjas were left forever on the battlefield.
Su Xiao had initially thought that three White Zetsu could kill one chunin, but it seemed otherwise. The ninjas' role in the melee was too limited.
What was somewhat surprising was that the hundred or so ninjas who escaped erupted with astonishing combat power. This small squad of only a hundred managed to eliminate nearly three hundred pursuing White Zetsu, though they paid a considerable price for it.
At this moment, the desert could only be described as littered with corpses. If this continued, the first to collapse would surely be the ninja alliance.
The White Zetsu clones had no fear of death; their concept of mortality was weak. The ninjas, on the other hand, would flee as soon as the situation became sufficiently disadvantageous.
"So, you're saying you'd rather die than surrender?"
Su Xiao sat up from the corpse pile. He had been fighting continuously for nearly seven hours, having lost count of how many ninjas he had killed.
A female ninja was kneeling on the ground, her arms bound behind her by two White Zetsu.
"Pfft."
The female ninja tried to lift her head and spit at Su Xiao, but her arms were restrained by the White Zetsu.
Su Xiao walked slowly to the female ninja, crouched down, and examined her. Her skin was wheat-colored, her hair a fiery red, and she wore earrings dangling from her earlobes. Her amber eyes were filled with defiance.
Judging by her complexion, she was a ninja from Kumogakure. She had been knocked unconscious by a White Zetsu clone during the war due to excessive physical exertion.
