Chapter 960: Chapter 56: Assault_4
With both hands forming seals, a vast amount of Chakra was gathered in the mouth, then released in one breath towards the direction of the Hidden Sand camp.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Extinguishing!"
An ocean of fire burst forth immediately across the desert, the blazing red light sweeping away the night’s darkness.
Confronted with the sudden and terrifying sea of fire, the Hidden Sand ninja on the camp’s simple watchtower widened their eyes in despair and fear, their breaths halting.
This dream-like ninja technique, even when realizing the extreme danger, was mesmerizing, leaving them forgetting to resist, minds blank.
Boom!
More dazzling than the flames was the color of sand.
A wall, emitting a golden hue, stood tall, several meters high, in front of the Hidden Sand camp, resisting the fire’s onslaught.
The waves of fire and the sea of sand clashed in an evenly matched battle.
Rasa inserted both hands into the sandy ground, the sand surging forward endlessly, ultimately overcoming the fire sea by a slight advantage and extinguishing it.
Though successfully putting out the fire sea, no relief appeared on Rasa’s face; rather, he looked with lingering fear at the chaotic sandy ground ahead.
"Such power from a Fire Style, what on earth is this..."
It was unimaginable to think anyone in the Ninja Realm could use such a grand Fire Style ninjutsu.
At least in his memory, there was no ninja who could match the Fire Style ninjutsu before him.
Who could it be?
Why would a ninja of such prowess attack the Hidden Sand?
Was it an enemy unwittingly offended, or was there another reason?
"Kazekage-sama."
A guard squad composed of six Jonin came to Rasa’s side, vigilantly watching the front.
The surrounding Hidden Sand ninja similarly responded, dropping their tasks and entering battle-ready states.
Rasa gently shook his head, indicating he was fine.
"As expected of one of the Five Kage, Kazekage-sama, to effortlessly block my Fire Style. You seem to be a worthy opponent indeed."
A voice of admiration carried through the air.
A figure walked across the still smoldering sandy ground; Ruri did not hide her presence, locking eyes directly with Rasa.
The red Sharingan caused Rasa’s body to tremble slightly.
No doubt, in this short span, Rasa recognized the other’s identity.
Uchiha Ruri, the S-Class Renegade Ninja who left Konoha over a decade ago.
The White Fang Squad she once belonged to had an irreconcilable enmity with their Hidden Sand Elder, Chiyo.
"Why, as a Konoha Renegade Ninja, have you appeared here?"
This was the aspect Rasa could not comprehend.
Judging by Ruri’s attitude, it was clearly not an accidental passage through the Land of Wind, nor was it a coincidence engaging with their Hidden Sand.
The target was evidently clear: it was the Hidden Sand.
Ruri didn’t speak, merely slowly drew the Flame Circle Fan from her back, the red glow in the Sharingan growing increasingly intense, exuding a dangerous pressure.
Not good! Rasa inwardly cursed.
The sand on the ground swiftly gathered in front, consolidating into a thick sand wall.
Bam!
In an instant, the sand wall shattered.
The sand particles scattered everywhere.
Ruri’s moving form broke through the sand wall’s barrier, charging directly towards Rasa.
Once the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand was defeated, this elite troop of two thousand Hidden Sand ninja would collapse without a fight.
Seeing Ruri attack their esteemed Kazekage without a word undoubtedly enraged all the Hidden Sand ninja.
Silent rage enveloped the Hidden Sand camp, with the Hidden Sand ninja rushing towards Ruri.
Ruri quickly scanned with her Sharingan and lightly leapt into the air, her mouth slightly puffed out.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Giant fireballs, each over four meters in diameter, shot out from Ruri’s mouth, bombarding the ground.
The fireballs struck the sandy ground like cannonballs, causing horrific explosions.
The flames devoured the lives of the Hidden Sand ninja, and the explosive shockwave from multiple fireballs left no one standing around Ruri in her vicinity.
After landing, Ruri dashed into the nearest crowd, the Flame Circle Fan creating a fearsome storm that swept away all nearby Hidden Sand ninja, making them scream in terror.
Rasa’s face darkened, just about to act when he suddenly sensed something, his gaze scanning the starry sky under the darkness, his expression drastically changing.
Kunai... an uncountable number of kunai rained down like a pitch-black storm from afar.
Vaguely, there were countless black figures appearing on the distant sand dunes.
That was a massive crowd of people.
The black storm swept in, the unprepared Hidden Sand ninja falling under the kunai assault.
Ruri, utilizing the dynamic vision of the Sharingan, deftly avoided the kunai raining down from the sky while skillfully battling the Hidden Sand ninja.
The thunderous wave of battle cries erupted from the distant crowd, charging onto the battlefield.
In his anger, Rasa caught a glimpse of these people’s true identity.
These individuals, in uniform black ninja suits, bore headbands engraved with Shion Flowers, many wielding the Shuriken Shooter Maki had described, approaching menacingly.
"They are Land of Demons’ ninja... how is this possible?"
Rasa’s pupils widened in shock, a look of disbelief on his face.
Why were the Land of Demons’ ninja appearing within the borders of the Land of Wind?
Such a large number of ninja couldn’t have silently bypassed the Land of Bear, leaving them entirely unaware.
Has Maki gone blind?
Such a large contingent of ninja infiltrating the Land of Wind, yet no reaction on their part.
Turning back to look at Ruri, who was dominating the battlefield with her Sharingan and Flame Circle Fan, an unreasonable and bizarre conjecture took form in Rasa’s mind.
The Konoha Renegade Ninja... is secretly controlling the Land of Demons!
