Chapter 658 Heavy damage

In order to return to the border station of the Land of Winds as soon as possible and solve the problem of antidotes, the Sand Hidden Squad led by Temari, all of them packed lightly, started to move towards the nearest station.

On the way back to the nearest station at full speed, a **** smell that had not completely disappeared was penetrating into Temari's nostrils through the air.

As a ninja, she is so familiar with this smell that she can't be more familiar with it.

"Stop!"

Temari made a gesture to stop his body from sprinting.

The group of sand ninjas behind them, as well as Hanami Haruka and the shrine maiden Wuzhi who joined temporarily, also stopped and looked towards the desert ahead.

Everywhere is full of pitted sand due to violent explosions. Not only that, in these pits of sandy pits, the yellow sand half-covers a large number of ninja corpses.

None of these corpses were complete, and all of them were severely damaged by the violent explosion.

Even though everyone present was used to seeing dead people, they still felt nauseated at the scene before them.

"How, how could this happen, this is..."

Teju exclaimed in a low voice, disbelief appeared on his face, and there was anger in his eyes.

Because these dead ninjas are all sand ninjas.

They were apparently ambushed by someone, and all died heroically.

Such a scene made Temari clenched his fists and his breathing became heavy.

She stepped forward step by step and stood in the middle of the group of corpses. The feeling of oppression made her even more difficult to breathe.

The accompanying medical ninjas also stepped forward in silence and began to inspect the corpses of these sand ninjas.

"Master Temari, it won't take a day for these people to die. And they didn't seem to have any signs of resistance, so they were killed, probably in an ambush."

One of the medical ninjas began to report back after some inspections.

"May I know who did it?"

Temari asked with a sullen face.

The medical ninja was about to answer when a crisp voice came in:

"It's the Iwagakure Ninja named Didara, this is the clay debris after he cast ninja."

Not far away, Hanami Haruka began to inspect the battlefield, holding a piece of debris in his hand.

It is the clay crumbs dedicated to Didara.

"It's no wonder why we haven't seen the reinforcements coming for a long time. Did you encounter an ambush?"

Temari took a deep breath, and finally understood why the reinforcements did not come after returning to the Land of Wind.

When they fought against the enemy, this army was likely to have encountered poisonous hands, and it was impossible to go to the northern border to meet them back.

"I'll leave the corpse containment work to you guys."

Temari knew that this was not a time to be angry, and the most important thing right now was to return to the nearby Sand Hermit camp as soon as possible and prepare an antidote instead of wasting time here.

Therefore, Temari decided to leave some people here to clean up the battlefield and restrain the corpses of sand ninjas, while she took Hanami Haruka to the sand hidden camp to prepare the antidote.

No one objected to Temari's arrangement, but nodded in agreement.

About two hours later, Temari led some Sand Shinobi, Hanami Haruka and Kirie, to a sand hidden place.

After confirming that Temari's identity is correct, the sand ninja who guarded the station began to let go.

After arriving at the resident, Temari transferred Maki, who was still injured and still awake, to a special ward to rest. At the same time, he arranged for someone to lead Hanami Haruka to the resident warehouse to select medicinal materials and prepare antidotes.

At this moment, a sand ninja came over and said respectfully to the opponent:

"Temari-sama, Mr. Shikahisa from Konoha is here."

"Is it finally here?"

Temari was slightly taken aback, then nodded, and followed Sand Ninja to meet Konoha's ninja.

In a simple lounge of the resident, when Temari came here, he saw Shikahisa, Sarutobi's Jonin, and the new generation of pigs and butterflies headed by Shikamaru gathered here.

"Mr. Shikahisa, on behalf of Sa Yin, I would like to thank everyone for coming."

Tezuki turned to Shikahisa, although his face could hardly hide his exhaustion, he cheered up and said hello to Shikamaru and others.

Different from the country of ghosts, in recent years, Sand Yin and Konoha have been supporting each other internationally. The enmity formed during the war years cannot be said to be completely eliminated, but after years of cooperation, even the ninjas in their respective villages who care about this have acquiesced to such behavior.

Furthermore, the third and second ninja world wars are too long away from a rookie like Temari. Compared with the older generation, her new generation Sagakushi Jnin, who has no hatred for Konoha, is the main force who can get along with Konoha friendly.

"Where, Konoha and Sagakure are allies with each other. When one is in trouble, the other should help. Then, Ms. Temari, can you explain the current situation?"

Although he knew the general cause and effect of the matter through Sand Yin's letter, but the specific matter needs to be explained by the daughter of Kazekage himself.

"The thing is..."

Temari nodded, and began to describe what happened to Shikahisa and the others.

Since being attacked by members of a mysterious organization, Gaara took the initiative to take on the job of bait to attract enemy firepower by himself in order to keep them, but his whereabouts are unknown.

Then Oni Nation came to seek cooperation, and wanted to unite with Sand Yin to deal with this mysterious organization with the goal of catching tailed beasts, and to rescue Jonin Maki, who was poisoned in his lower body and made Sand Yin feel helpless, as a sincerity of cooperation.

Including follow-up actions, Temari also explained to Shikahisa one by one.

After telling all the information, Temari's mouth is also a little dry.

"Is that so?"

Lu Jiu stroked his chin and began to think.

Although the kingdom of ghosts suddenly made such a move at this time, it was somewhat unexpected. But Lu Jiu believes that no matter what purpose the Ghost Kingdom has, for now, being able to cooperate with the other party is undoubtedly beneficial to both of them in rescuing Gaara.

"Mr. Lu Jiu, did you find something?"

"I'm just surprised by the inconsistency of the ghost country... But since they joined in, it can be regarded as a good help. How long will it take for the antidote to be produced?"

Lu Jiu asked.

"According to the female medical ninja in the country of ghosts, it will take about three days."

Temari replied.

"Three days? Then within these three days, let's start to recharge our batteries and wait for the antidote to come out before launching the search operation."

Lu Jiu nodded, and decided to take action after the antidote was produced three days later.

The Iwagakure ninja named Didara, needless to say about his abilities, but judging from his performance, he is an extremely intuitive and dangerous ninja.

But the red sand scorpion should not be underestimated either. The other party was the terrifying person who directly killed the former Kazekage, and his ability to make poison was fully passed down by the elder Sakage, Chiyo. If he could not solve the poison created by the other party, it would be unwise to fight him rashly in Lu Jiu's view.

And the tricky part of the puppet master lies in this.

"Then everyone, please take a good rest these few days, I will tell someone to make arrangements."

After Temari finished speaking, he left the lounge.

She also needs adequate rest to keep her spirits up and avoid losing the chain at critical moments.

"The situation is really complicated, Dad."

After Temari left, Shikamaru said this.

Sha Yin, Konoha, the mysterious organization, and now the kingdom of ghosts are also involved.

On the surface, Sand Yin, Konoha, and Oni Country belonged to the same camp in this operation.

But they have no idea what the Ghost Country is up to.

Shikamaru is very worried that at the critical moment, Oni no Kai will be in the back, and Konoha and Sandako will be slashed hard.

"Don't worry too much. Judging from the fact that the ghost country has not invested high-end combat power, their purpose is probably to use the power of Sha Yin to effectively attack this organization."

Lu Jiu expressed his guess.

"Why would they do that?"

"I'm also thinking about it. However, we have too little information here, and it is not enough to deduce the motives of the Ghost Kingdom. We still know too little about this organization."

Shikahisa spoke about the difficulties Konoha and Sagakure faced at this time.

Shikamaru nodded, then sighed:

"I hope there will be no accidents on Naruto's side. Needless to say, the puppeteer who plays with clay is quite tricky."

Two days later.

The boundless valley covered with rocks, the terrain is extremely intricate.

According to Tianzang's speculation, if Gaara hadn't continued to escape, he would definitely use the terrain here to escape the enemy's hunting.

Because among the nearby areas, only here is the most suitable hiding place.

In order to find Gaara's whereabouts as soon as possible, the seventh squad led by Tianzang was quickly divided into two groups.

A team with Nara Suzaku Jonin as the captain, team members Sai and Honoko, use the huge ink bird drawn by Sai Chaoshou fake painting to scout from the sky.

The second group consists of Tianzang and Naruto, entering the valley from the ground, looking for Gaara's whereabouts.

The steep rocks seem to be inserted into the sky.

It was the cold winter, the cold wind howled in the valley, and there was a chilling and icy atmosphere.

Ignoring this objectively existing environment, Tianzang led Naruto and flew quickly through the valley with mixed terrain unaffected, looking for a possible hiding place for Gaara.

Because it is necessary to find Gaara one step earlier than the people from the mysterious organization, Tianzang and Naruto dare not relax for a moment, and muster their energy to start the search operation.

In order to find Gaara as soon as possible, Naruto specially used the technique of shadow clones based on the idea of strength in numbers, and separated more than ten shadow clones to assist in the search together in the valley.

"Speaking of which, Captain Yamato."

Naruto kept running at the same speed as Tianzang.

"What's up?"

"Is there no problem with Sai and the others in the sky?"

"No way, they are bait."

Tianzang said so.

"Bait?"

Naruto was taken aback.

"Although it is very convenient to search from high altitude, there are also few obstacles in the sky. If the enemy observes a little, they can know the position of Sai and the others."

Tianzang replied.

"Then why..."

"Attract the enemy's attention, divert their attention from our side, and ensure that our side's actions will not be interfered. In addition, with the ability to control the air, the Iwagakure Ninja named Didala, his detonators will be cracked by Hinoko's tracking-type Thunder Chakra needle. So, don't worry about their safety."

In this way, it not only attracts the attention of the enemy, but also prevents the enemy's explosives from exploding smoothly.

In this way, the enemy only has the ability to fly, but the offensive ability will be blocked, and the danger is greatly reduced.

Tenzo, who has learned about Hinoko's ability, knows how bad the ability compatibility between Hinoko and Didara is.

Naruto suddenly realized that it was no wonder why he arranged Hinoko next to Sai, so it was to prevent this.

Maybe Hinoko's ability is too easy to use.

Especially when using Immortal Art, combined with the activation of Hinoko's Thunderbolt, his speed and reaction ability will be greatly enhanced. The effect of such an increase is hard for any ninja to refuse.

As long as there is Huinoko in the team, the mobility of the whole team will directly increase by one level.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Naruto was stunned, which caught Tianzang's attention.

"What's wrong?"

"A shadow clone disappeared, destroyed by sand."

"Sand? Gaara?"

Tianzang was overjoyed.

"Well, I will never forget his Chakra, come with me, Captain Yamato."

As he spoke, Naruto suddenly accelerated his running speed and ran in another direction.

Tianzo did not hesitate, strengthened the chakra of the legs, and increased the speed to catch up.

"Not only Sand Yin, but also Konoha. Hmm."

In Didara's miniature telescope, the faces of the three of Saii appeared. The three of them were riding a black black ink bird, soaring high in the sky.

At the bottom of the valley, Didara shared this information with Scorpion with the help of the rock blocking his vision.

"Konoha?"

"Yes, I can't read the mark on the forehead wrongly. Two of them have been recorded in the information. One is a jounin of the Konoha Nara clan, and the other is a ninja from Konoha Genbu. As for the third person is a little girl... I don't have any information about her. The costume is very similar to Konoha's Anbu, but she doesn't wear a mask. Hmm."

Didara gave a brief explanation.

"What a waste, to rely on ninjas from other villages for support."

Scorpion couldn't help but sneer at Sha Yin's weakness.

Since he left, the village really hasn't improved at all.

All kinds of land cession and indemnity, so that his rebelliousness of fleeing is ashamed of the village he was born in.

"I can't say that, after all, I and Brother Scorpion are too strong together. It's only natural that they would be so wary of our 'art'. Hmm."

Didara brazenly boasted.

"I leave it to you to deal with the above. I have already made arrangements for Jinchuriki and Fourth Kazekage."

Scorpion's voice is calm.

"Brother Scorpion, are you alright by yourself?"

Didara asked worriedly.

"Just don't play yourself off. My eternity is not comparable to your childish instant art. Whether it is Kazekage or Renzhuriki, I will never miss it."

"Hello!"

Ignoring Didara's dissatisfied screams from behind, Scorpion grabbed Kankuro's shoulder who couldn't speak, and his figure jumped into the mountain stream and disappeared.

"This is it."

At the entrance of the ventilated cave, Naruto brought Tianzang to the place where the shadow clone disappeared.

In the dark hole, the visibility is very narrow, most of the area is shrouded in darkness, and the icy cold wind blows from the hole. Obviously, there is another vent in this cave.

After speaking, Naruto walked forward, preparing to enter the cave.

The moment his right foot stepped into the cave, taking this as a signal, countless sand quickly rolled up on the ground, squeezing Naruto and Tenzo from all directions, intending to bury them here.

Naruto, who had long expected to be attacked, turned the spiral pill with one hand, and stretched out his arm aiming at the sand that was culling him.

Boom!

Accompanied by the strong chakra airflow venting around, the entangled sand turned into a sandy yellow sand rain, and the sand particles fell down one after another, landing on the bodies of Naruto and Tianzang.

"Gaara, it's us, don't hide in and not come out!"

Naruto yelled at the people in the cave.

He knew Gaara must have heard his shout.

Not surprisingly, after a few seconds of silence in the cave, the sound of people walking was heard.

Gaara, with a gourd on her back, walked out from the intersection of light and shadow between the cave and the outside world, and glanced coldly at Naruto and Tenzo.

Tianzang stepped forward, trying to slow down his tone and said: "We are the Konoha ninjas who came to support you at the request of Sand Hidden Village, not your enemies."

"I know. However, I still cannot deny the fact that you are in the way."

Gaara's voice is cold.

"What, how can you talk like that, we came to save you with good intentions."

Naruto said suddenly dissatisfied.

I feel that all my good intentions have been ruined.

I love Luo Han and keep silent.

Tianzo laughed aloud. As the intelligence said, Gaara, who is a one-tailed Jinchuriki, is an unreasonable ninja.

As Renzhuli, more or less, they all have very serious personality defects.

"I'm fine, you guys go away quickly."

After being silent for a while, Gaara spit out this sentence, turned around impatiently, and prepared to walk back into the cave.

"Hello-"

Before Naruto finished speaking, Gaara suddenly paused as he entered the cave, and an eyeball flew over from afar.

This is a long-range reconnaissance type 'third eye', which has a wider monitoring range than the general third eye, but due to the long distance, it cannot share the vision with the operator in real time.

However, the observed memory content can be stored, and after returning, the content seen will be transmitted to the mind of the operator.

Gaara held the flying back 'Third Eye' in his hand and gave it a firm grip.

boom!

Sand and dust splash.

A large amount of memory content was instilled into his mind through Chakra.

Suddenly, Gaara swept towards a direction, his eyes were full of horrific ferocity, as if he wanted to eat people.

"Guys who are in the way, don't follow me, or I will kill you!"

After finishing speaking, Gaara formed a mudra with one hand, his body turned into dust, and disappeared from the spot.

"What is he doing?"

Naruto was a little dumbfounded.

"I probably observed something. Go after it and have a look."

Tianzang's figure flashed and caught up with Gaara. As for Gaara's threat, he took the initiative to ignore it.

Naruto also reacted, and followed Tianzang to chase Gaara.

The troops led by Luo Sha also dispersed after entering the valley.

He led two Anbu Jnin alone, and searched in the valley as a team.

His judgment is consistent with Tianzang. If Gaara wants to hide himself, there is a high possibility of hiding here.

Just as he entered a relatively steep canyon, a figure suddenly flashed out, and when he took a closer look, Luo Sha was startled.

"Yura Jominin!?"

Anbu next to Luo Sha suddenly exclaimed.

Seeing this figure that suddenly flashed in front of him, after seeing the other person's face clearly, he immediately recognized the other person's identity.

It's just that the other party's condition is very bad at this time. There are bloodstains all over his body, and half of his face is also stained red with blood.

Some blood stains were stained on the clothes, which had solidified and turned into blackish blood clots.

"Yura, why are you here?"

Luo Sha's complexion changed, and he quickly stepped forward to support Yura's body, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"Master Kaze, Kazekage, my subordinates are incompetent..."

Yura let out a painful moan, and responded with a tone of embarrassment.

"What the **** happened? And, why are you here? I heard from Temari that you didn't meet them on time."

Luo Sha asks these questions.

"It's like this, Kazekage-sama, we were ambushed by the enemy that day on the way to meet us. Everyone except me was killed, and I was also captured by them..."

"They? Are they scorpions?"

"No, no, it's someone else, but wearing the same clothes as Scorpion, I'm afraid it's another member. I managed to sneak out while they weren't paying attention. Besides, they were plotting against Kazuo inside Gaarsama...Kazekage-sama, tell Gaarsama quickly, they are trying to harm Izuo in the village!"

Speaking of this, Yu Liang tightly grasped the clothes on Luo Sha's chest, as if she was going to use her last breath to tell Luo Sha this important information.

Luo Sha's face softened, he patted Yu Liang's shoulder, and comforted him: "As long as you are fine. Also, don't worry about Gaara's affairs. Since I have come here, I will disintegrate the conspiracy of that organization and won't let them succeed!"

The final promise is quite firm.

"That's good, that's good..."

Yura showed a reassuring smile on his embarrassed face.

"Okay, now you rest"

Before the word 'Xi' came out of his mouth, Luo Sha moved his ears, and accompanied by a sharp piercing sound, something rushed towards him quickly.

Luo Sha looked up, and saw a cloud of sand flying towards him with a murderous aura like a dark cloud.

Terrible blood was spreading in the sand, and the killing intent was so overflowing that the practitioner could no longer contain it. They pressed on Luo Sha one after another, as if trying to crush his body.

Gaara! Luo Sha's face darkened, and he immediately guessed who was manipulating the sand to attack him.

"Master Kazekage, be careful!"

Yura struggled to get up, took out Kunai from the ninja bag, and stood in front of Luo Sha.

"Wait, Yura!"

Pfft!

Luo Sha was stunned.

A sharp pain caused him to open his mouth wide, and his breathing almost stopped.

Yura, who was still confronting Sand, suddenly turned around, picked up the Kunai in his hand, and stabbed towards his body.

"Yu...Yur"

Looking down at Kunai who had fallen into his heart, Luo Sha couldn't help crying out in pain, breathing hard, and glared at Yura who raised the flag of rebellion to him with a look of disbelief.

Why

He really wanted to ask this question.

boom!

But it was too late to question, Yu Liang smiled grimly, and disappeared from Luo Sha in a flash.

The sand that came from the attack was as hard and heavy as steel, with a terrifying whistling sound, before Luo Sha had time to react, it directly hit Luo Sha's body.

Like Luo Sha who had been hit hard, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, his body flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, hit a mountain wall, and then fell heavily, continuing to cough up blood, his face extremely pale.

It was just a moment of lightning, and Luo Sha's safety was already in jeopardy.
