Chapter 89: Tidal Waves vs. Sand Tsunami!
Uehara was satisfied.
Although he had not mastered thousands of ninjutsu like Kakashi, his skills were much stronger than Kakashi’s ninjutsu.
“Next, let’s find another random team!”
Uehara turned on his Destiny skill but only found three groups of Suna Anbu quickly retreating towards the border.
Uehara’s crazy interception and killing of Suna Anbu during this period had attracted the attention of Sunagakure. To avoid more losses, they began to order them to retreat.
“That’s really interesting!”
Uehara planned to turn off his Destiny skill and report to Nagato and Konan when he saw a group of ninjas enter Destiny’s range.
Uehara observed it for a while, noticing a few familiar figures. Among them, the most familiar was the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and his son Gaara!
Suna was not retreating!
They were concentrating their forces to invade the Land of Rain!
Uehara’s face was a little unpleasant. Shaking his head, and sighed, “I just upgraded and bought my equipment, so would you come this away?”
Uehara’s confidence was at its highest yet!
And right now, the Fourth Kazekage was presenting his neck… he brought a generous gift to the Akatsuki, a juvenile Jinchuriki.
Rasa led dozens of Suna Ninja guards and Gaara into the Land of Rain. He just wanted to test Gaara’s abilities as the Sunagakure’s ultimate weapon.
If Gaara could play a role in actual combat, Rasa wouldn’t mind throwing his eight-year-old son on the battlefield to deter Amegakure.
This was the Fourth Kazekage’s attitude.
To protect the interests of Sunagakure, Rasa sacrificed everything he had. Even his own son.
Rasa led his ninja squad to search for the missing Anbu while hunting down the kid who expelled the ordinary ninja.
Soon they found a trace.
Rather, they found a body.
Eight Suna Ninja squads had disappeared in the Land of Rain.
It was not an unremarkable loss. It was almost one-third of the Anbu cultivated by the Fourth Kazekage.
Moreover, most of the injuries on these Anbu were caused by lightning ninjutsu or beheaded by a huge ninja sword, so they had to have been killed by the same person.
From in front of Rasa, Baki whispered, “Kazekage-sama, according to the information we’ve obtained from the corpses. These Anbu squad should have died in the hands of that Ame boy.”
“Is it him?”
Rasa supported his forehead and glanced at the corpse on the ground. A flash of anger appeared in his eyes, “Each team must search with all their strength, and once you find his trail, immediately fire a flare!”
“Kazekage-sama.”
Baki knelt on one knee, gritted his teeth, “If so many of us entered the Land of Rain, it’s likely to cause a war between Amegakure and Sunagakure… Konoha may also intervene in the Land of Rain’s affair.”
“Do not worry.”
Rasa waved his hand confidently and said solemnly, “After the Uchiha clan’s destruction, Konoha isn’t powerful anymore.”
Baki, “…”
Their Kazekage was too confident, right?
In the past, despite the Sunagakure using all its power, it was beaten by Konoha ninjas in the battle in Kikyo Pass. Many young ninjas were captured, which caused the decline of the new talents in Sunagakure. Even now, they have not recovered.
“Rest assured.”
Rasa seemed to perceive the disrespectful eyes of his subordinates and explained in a cold voice, “The power of Sunagakure is currently not strong enough. I don’t want to start a war with Konoha for the time being… But in the Land of Rain, we have other advantages.”
“Yes.”
Baki could only nod.
As the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa was willing to open his mouth and explain to him, which showed respect to him as a confidant.
Rasa twisted his wrist and whispered, “Didn’t we get intel on Orochimaru earlier? When we go back, just tell Konoha that we were willing to help them catch Orochimaru!”
That news was enough.
Orochimaru was one of Konoha’s S-rank missing-nin. He has been Konoha’s top priority for many years since he knows a lot about Konoha’s information.
So Konoha had been tracking him all these years.
In exchange for Konoha’s concession in a small country, they would give intel about a missing-nin who knew a lot of Konoha’s information.
Konoha would not hesitate to agree.
Tap tap tap…
Someone appeared at the river and walked over.
It was a teenage boy.
The boy walked upright towards the Suna ninja groups. He slowly stretched out his hand towards the Suna ninjas, “Suiton·Tidal Wave!”
A wave appeared out of thin air!
As more and more chakra surged out of the young ninja. The turbulent waves became bigger and bigger, almost hundreds of meters high, quickly sweeping towards the group of Suna ninjas!
“Who!”
“Enemy attack!”
At this critical juncture, the two Suna Ninja next to the Fourth Kazekage Rasa stepped forward, each releasing their wind Ninjutsu!
“Futon, Senmōfū!” (Wind Release, Tempest Wind)
“Futon, Ōkamaitachi no Jutsu!” (Wind Release, Cyclone Scythe Technique)
The stormy wind instantly diverted the waves toward the sky!
However, this was only a temporary fix; it couldn’t deal with the root cause since the waves were so large. These two ninjas could barely last for a few seconds.
The other Suna ninjas also began to release wind ninjutsu, helping them stop the waves that came one after another!
They could barely break one of the hundreds of meters high waves with their ninjutsu, but they couldn’t stop the following waves.
Rasa slowly raised his head and looked at the boy who was flying above the waves.
The boy stretched out his hands while flying in the air. The boundless waves surging under him!
Rasa frowned and thought for a second, then reached out and patted his son, who was standing next to his leg, “Go, Gaara, use your power to deal with all of this.”
“…I know.”
The red-haired boy’s eyes gradually became fierce, and strands of yellow sand appeared from the gourd on his back. He walked in the direction of the waves step by step.
Following Gaara’s footsteps, the land under his feet gradually turned into yellow sand, and the yellow sand spread out little by little.
When Gaara stopped in front of the waves, he finally released his ninjutsu by flipping his palm. There was a hint of bloodthirst in the kid’s immature voice, “Ryūsa Bakuryū!” (Sand Tsunami)
Boundless sand waves rose into the sky!
Waves of yellow sand began to pile up and rushed towards the waves like a defensive wall built by yellow sand.
A group of Suna ninja backed away with ugly expressions!
Gaara clearly didn’t care about their lives and the way he released his ninjutsu made it seemed like he didn’t mind burying them under the sand.
“Is this kid trying to kill us?”
“At least look at your companions, right?”
“Leave, you trash.”
Gaara glanced at them slightly and said with a fierce expression, “Don’t be a burden. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
“…”
The Suna ninjas looked at each other.
He was just an eight-year-old kid, but he talked about killing his companion like stepping on ants.
“Interesting.”
Uehara in the sky chuckled, staring at Gaara underneath, and said, “Using quicksand to withstand the impact of the sea, a stupid kid indeed!”
As Uehara’s words just finished, a wave slammed to the wall of yellow sand, and the boundless seawater flooded towards the Suna ninjas again!
This water wave was at the standard of a Kage. How could it be blocked so easily!
