Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 266 Let us fight each other until we tear each other to pieces! (6.4k)

Just as Luo Sha lost his composure due to the unbelievable speculation in his mind.

Kaka...

A faint rustling sound suddenly reached everyone's ears.

The sound was particularly jarring and chilling in this deathly silent shelter, where even the wind seemed to be swallowed up.

The gazes of Rasa, Yekura, and all the survivors suddenly turned to the metal door that had just been closed!

The next moment, an indescribable fear surged through their bodies, almost stopping them from breathing.

Through the faint light filtering through the crack in the door, one could vaguely see the dried-up corpses outside, frozen in various desperate poses, like sculptures.

At that moment, it actually moved!
Their movements were extremely stiff and slow, like rusty machines, with their joints making a soft, rattling friction sound.

Heads covered with withered skin and sunken, hollow eye sockets rotated in an extremely unnatural way.

Finally, those empty eye sockets turned towards the direction of the shelter.

"I've found...you..."

A hoarse, grating sound, like the friction of broken, decaying vocal cords, was squeezed out from the opening and closing mouths of those mummies.

The sound wasn't loud, but it came in layers, from all directions, carrying a kind of malice that made their scalps tingle, and clearly penetrated their ears!

Inside the shelter, a deathly silence fell instantly, and all color drained from everyone's faces.

The corpse is talking?!
Outside the door, the previously stiff and frozen mummies suddenly began to move, no longer slowly turning, but lunging towards the metal door!

boom! boom! !

A heavy thud and a sharp scraping sound pounded against the metal door.

The white sealing cloth wrapped around the door, which emitted a faint light, began to show clear tear marks under the frantic tearing and scratching of countless withered fingers!
"Here it comes again! It's happening again!"

The already terrified civilians let out even more piercing screams, huddled together trembling, and stared in despair at the gate that seemed ready to be torn apart at any moment.

All the Sand Village ninjas who still had energy rushed to the door, their faces solemn or tense, their hands rapidly forming hand seals!
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

The clods of earth rose rapidly from both sides of the door frame and the ground, reinforcing the rickety metal door and attempting to seal it off completely.

However, outside the door, there was not only a mummified corpse, but also a sharp, piercing sound.

boom! !

Several sharp wind blades slashed fiercely at the metal door, and large pieces of gravel fell from the reinforced earth!
They were the Sand Village ninjas who were being manipulated while still alive.

The reinforced earthen walls crumbled rapidly under the attack, the metal door groaned under the strain, and the white cloth sealing the door was torn to shreds!
"roll!"

Yecang suddenly stood up and looked at a pale-faced young female ninja behind her: "Can the Cloth Binding Technique still be used?"

The girl named 'Juan' looked at the scroll tube, which had long since exhausted all the special sealing cloth, and shook her head bitterly: "Teacher, it's all gone, not a single bit left."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang's heart sank.

In fact, not only was there no seal, but there was also no food or water. If they stayed here, they would either be killed or die of hunger and thirst.

As the attacks from outside grew more and more intense, the cracks in the door multiplied, and even withered fingers reached in through the gaps, scratching frantically!

She gritted her teeth suddenly, as if making some kind of decision, and was about to speak...

“I’ll do it.” A deep, calm voice rang out first. “Your Scorching Release technique won’t kill them. You take them away.”

Yekura suddenly turned his head and looked at Rasa, who had walked to the metal door, with golden sand swirling around him.

"Leave?" Ye Cang's lips curled into a complicated smile. "Where can we go?"

The entire Sand Village has been sealed off, not only by these manipulated people, but also by the Sand Eyes hovering in the sky...

That 'monster' would never allow its 'toy' to escape.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out this way." Rasa sighed. "But no matter what, we have to struggle to survive. That's always been the case in Sunagakure, hasn't it?"

He was certainly not a good father or a good husband. He let down Gaara and, even more so, his wife Karyura.

But he has indeed sacrificed a lot for Sunagakure, and now that the time has come for him to stand up and die, he will not back down.

"You..." Ye Cang stared intently at Luo Sha's retreating figure, wanting to say something more.

But that's it.

Bang!
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted!

The battered metal door, along with the reinforced earthen wall behind it, was finally breached and shattered into countless fragments that shot inward!
"Ugh!"

The closest Sand Village ninjas were instantly struck by the shards and sent flying backward with screams!

The next moment, countless hideous and twisted mummies, as well as Sand Village ninjas with empty eyes, surged in like a tide!

“I’ll hold these guys off. You guys find a chance to break out and get to the surface.”

Rasa shouted, "Go to Konoha and find the Third Hokage! The five great ninja villages have decided to unite against Hueco Mundo, and he will accept and protect you!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly clasped his hands together, and the chakra within his body surged forth!

"Magnetic Escape·Golden Burial!"

boom! !

A massive surge of gold dust erupted from beneath his feet and around him, transforming into a surging golden wave that crashed against the incoming torrent of death.

The golden sand waves collided violently with it, and in an instant, the dozens of mummified corpses and the controlled ninjas at the forefront were swallowed, crushed, and crushed by the heavy gold sand!
They managed to temporarily erect a shaky golden dam!

Seeing this, Ye Cang gritted his teeth and, without further hesitation, shouted, "Everyone, follow! Charge out!"

Before she finished speaking, she transformed into a blur and shot out of the shelter entrance that Luo Sha had cleared with gold dust like an arrow!

The other Sand Village ninjas who were still able to move immediately followed, suppressing their grief and fear, protecting the crying and stumbling civilians, and desperately rushing outwards!
However, the scene outside the shelter was even more terrifying than they had imagined.

More mummies and manipulated ninjas, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed in from all directions!

They howled, waving their withered arms or remnants of ninja tools, and launched a frenzied attack!

"Go away!"

Ye Cang roared, forming hand seals, and a blazing fireball roared out, blasting several mummified corpses blocking his way into burning fragments, but more enemies immediately filled the gap.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spear!"

The surviving Sand Village ninjas fought desperately, engaging in fierce combat with the surging enemy. Ninjas and civilians were constantly dragged into the horde of corpses, screaming in agony.

"Go over there!" Ye Cang shouted, pointing to a giant sand tree that supported this space not far away.

That's the most direct "passage" to the sand sea above!
With their last ounce of strength, the group charged toward the giant tree.

Finally, after paying a heavy price, Yekura and several strong Jonin were the first to reach the roots of the "giant tree".

They attached chakra to the soles of their feet and ran upwards with all their might along the rough surface where grains of sand kept slipping off!

However, just as Yekura and the others at the front had climbed less than ten meters,

The sand beneath their feet suddenly came to life!
Wow!
A large number of sand grains instantly detached from the tree trunks, coalescing into huge and ferocious sand hands that lunged at the Sand Village ninjas who were climbing!

"Watch out!" Ye Cang sensed the danger and warned sharply, while leaping to the side and upward, narrowly avoiding the huge sand hand that was grabbing at him!

The Jonin around her also used their own methods, either dodging in an instant or blocking with ninjutsu, barely managing to evade the sudden attack.

But those weaker chunin and genin weren't so lucky.

"what!!"

"No! Let me go!"

A piercing, desperate scream rang out instantly.

Several ninjas were caught off guard and grabbed by those giant sand hands. The sand hands tightened their grip, and terrifying pressure was applied to the people who were grabbed!

A sand waterfall funeral procession!

puff!puff!
The sickening sound of bones cracking and flesh being crushed was clearly audible!
Warm blood and shattered internal organs gushed, seeped, and dripped directly from between Sand's fingers!
The person who was just alive has turned into a pool of bloody flesh!
This terrifying scene sent chills down the spines of all the civilians below, who froze instantly as they tried to climb.

"Over here!" Luo Sha's hoarse roar came.

While struggling to hold off the mummies, he manipulated another stream of gold dust, not to rush towards the enemy, but to suddenly extend upwards!
Avoiding those giant sand trees, it quickly condenses and shapes in the air, forming a simple yet sturdy sand-gold staircase!
The steps lead directly to the "sky" formed by sand overhead, where the sand layer is cascading down, forming a swirling depression, which is clearly a weak point.

"Quick! Get up the stairs!"

The survivors, as if grasping at their last straw, disregarded their fear and rushed toward the golden steps, scrambling and crawling upwards!
at this time.

Boom! !

The entire space seemed to tremble.

Massive amounts of sand and dust converged wildly, transforming into streams of sand like giant, yellowish-brown pythons, surging towards the crowd fleeing up the steps from all directions.

"Magnetic Style: Golden Sand Waves!"

Luo Sha stood on the gold dust cloud with bloodshot eyes, and suddenly raised his free hand upwards!
The surrounding gold dust instantly boiled, transforming into surging golden waves that actively met the oncoming sand serpents!
boom! boom! boom!
The golden sand and the sand python collided violently, and golden sand and yellowish-brown sand fell down in a flurry!
Under Rasa's desperate cover, Yekura led the last survivors up the constantly trembling, seemingly collapsing staircase and finally reached the top!

Without any hesitation, Yecang instantly formed hand seals, releasing all the remaining chakra within her body!

"Burning Escape - Over-Steam Kill!" she roared, pushing her palms forward with a fierce thrust.

A highly compressed fireball, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures, slammed into the dome of constantly shifting sands!
boom! !

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out, and a scorching shockwave instantly spread outwards!

The thick layer of sand was instantly shattered by the impact, and a huge gap was blasted out with its edges still collapsing.

The long-awaited sunlight streamed in through the gap, dispelling the darkness of the underground space and stinging the eyes of all the survivors who had long lived in darkness. Gold dust rushed in just in time, preventing the surrounding sand currents from closing in.

"Success!!"

"Exit! It's the exit!!"

The overwhelming joy and unbelievable excitement of surviving the ordeal instantly engulfed everyone.

They cried out hoarsely, rushing desperately toward the hopeful light.

However, almost at the same instant the breach was blown open.

hum! !

The surrounding sandstorm seemed to be completely enraged, and an even larger and more turbulent torrent rushed towards the crowd from all directions!

"Gaara! That's enough!" came Rasa's hoarse roar from below.

"Run!" Ye Cang roared at the crowd behind him, then turned around abruptly, gathering chakra in his hands once more, preparing to fight to the death against the surging sandstorm.

The sunshine is right in front of you, and freedom is within reach!
However, at this moment.

A cold, hoarse voice clearly pierced her ears, as if freezing her blood!
"So, this is where it is."

The hopeful sunlight that Ye Cang was seeing was suddenly completely blocked by a figure.

The figure wasn't particularly tall, but it exuded a suffocating coldness and deathly stillness.

He appeared silently in the center of the blasted opening, blocking all the light, and slowly descended through the opening.

As he landed, his full appearance gradually came into view of all the survivors below who were looking up.

It was a figure covered in heavy, pale, and ferocious armor!

A bone mask, revealing only the eyes, covered the entire face. Beneath the mask were a pair of eyes that gleamed with pure bloodlust, looking down at them.

It was none other than Shikotsu, the fifth of the Espada, who came to take away the newly promoted 'Hollow'!
The 'corpse's' crimson gaze slowly swept over Yekura and the others below, finally settling on Rasa, who was standing at the very bottom.

"Fengying?" he said. "Unfortunately, you're not the one I'm looking for."

As he finished speaking, he looked at the pyramid-shaped building in the distance, and from beneath the bone mask came an extremely faint yet chilling gasp.

It was as if it had caught the scent of its prey.

"Found it." The voice of 'Bones' rang out with a sinister laugh.

However, the moment he finished speaking, as if sensing his covetousness and threat, the dust in the entire underground space instantly boiled over!
Boom! ! !
This is no longer the minor skirmishes against the Sand Village ninjas as before.

This time, it was as if all the sand and dust in the entire space possessed a unified will and rage, with countless tons of sand surging wildly from the dome, the walls, and the ground.

It was as if a brownish-yellow ocean had unleashed a world-destroying wave, surging and squeezing towards the 'corpses' suspended in mid-air from all directions!

The scale of this attack far surpasses any previous attack that Rasa, Yekura, and the others had faced!
The massive sandstorm instantly swallowed the 'corpse' completely, compressing it into a giant ball of sand that writhed and compressed violently, emitting a teeth-grinding grinding sound!

The sudden, terrifying sight caused Rasa and Yekura's expressions to change drastically.

They immediately realized a more cruel and desperate truth.

The obstacles and pursuit they faced just now were not the true power of that "monster".

That was nothing but a series of mockery!

Like a cat catching a mouse, it's about savoring the despair and fear that arises as they struggle to escape!
If this 'Hollow' hadn't appeared, the monster that Gaara had transformed into would definitely have been the last thing they did at the very last moment before they could escape...

Extinguish all their hopes once more, drag them back into the abyss, and savor their final collapse!

That monster is still playing!

He treated Sunagakure as his playground, and the Sunagakure ninjas were his "toys"!
"Now's the time! Go!" Yekura's voice became hoarse and shrill with fear and anger.

Without any hesitation, she took one last look at Luo Sha struggling to hold on below and the 'corpse' wrapped in sand spheres, then suddenly turned around and rushed out of the gap!
The other Sand Village Jonin also reacted, suppressing their grief as they rushed out, while the others scrambled away.

Seeing that Yekura and the others had finally escaped, Rasa felt a sudden sense of relief and prepared to fully control the sand gold to fight the monster that Gaara had transformed into.

However, the next moment.

puff! Poof! !
On the surface of that sand sphere, which was compressed from countless tons of sand, countless sharp, grotesque, and twisted giant bone spikes suddenly pierced out from the inside out!

Bang! !

The entire sand sphere was violently burst open from the inside by a brute force, and endless sand was sprayed wildly in all directions!
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the pale figure of the 'corpse' slowly emerged, its massive bone spikes retracting and disappearing back into its body.

"Only to this extent?"

The 'skeleton' dusted itself off, looked at the silent pyramid in the distance, and sneered, "Still not coming out?"

"Well, what about this?"

The moment he finished speaking, he vanished!
Below, Luo Sha's pupils suddenly contracted, and an instinctive fear made him instantly realize that death was imminent.

puff! !
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out!

The sand-gold barrier that Luo Sha subconsciously formed around him was as fragile as paper in front of that pale figure and was easily pierced!
Also pierced was Rasa's chest.

"Cough!" Luo Sha coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. His body was lifted into the air by an irresistible force!
He lowered his head with difficulty and saw a sharp bone spear, stained with his warm blood, piercing through his chest.

He futilely raised his trembling hand, trying to form a hand seal, but his chakra was exhausted, and excruciating pain and the icy feeling of rapidly draining his life force swept over his entire body.

"Those escaping bugs, were they all your 'toys'?"

A hoarse voice from 'Skeleton' sounded behind Rosa, his scarlet eyes looking defiantly at the distant pyramid: "This, is probably the 'toy' you care about the most?"

puff!puff!
As soon as he finished speaking, the bone spear that had pierced Luo Sha's chest suddenly began to fork and grow wildly inside his body!

Countless smaller, yet equally sharp bone spurs burst forth from within Rasa's body!

Heart, lungs, liver, spine...

In an instant, he was completely pierced and torn apart by countless bone spurs, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a flower of flesh and blood composed of his own flesh and blood and pale bone spurs!
Luo Sha's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes widened to their limit, and the last glimmer of light in his pupils vanished rapidly.

Blood fell like raindrops.

The surging sandstorm suddenly stopped in that instant!

All sounds disappeared, except for the "drip-drip" of blood dripping.

However, this deathly silence lasted only a moment.

The next moment, a voice filled with rage and madness suddenly boomed from the direction of the pyramid in the distance!

"you wanna die!"

boom! !

With that soul-shattering roar, the top of the majestic pyramid in the distance suddenly exploded!

A short figure carrying a white gourd rose up amidst the swirling pebbles and dust!

Behind him, endless sand and dust gathered, transforming into a huge and clear female face.

"Karyura, it really was you..."

"You also think I did something wrong...?"

Upon seeing that face filled with tenderness and sorrow, a flicker of pain crossed Luo Sha's unfocused eyes, which then completely lost their luster and vitality.

Gaara remained unmoved, his eyes, no longer human pupils, radiating cold savagery as he fixed his gaze on the 'bones' carrying Rasa's corpse in the distance.

"Oh, you've finally decided to come out?"

Upon seeing its target appear, the 'corpse' was not alarmed but delighted, letting out a sinister laugh and speaking with extreme sarcasm: "Looks like a good baby who can't live without its mother...!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Gaara suddenly raised his hand!
Rumble, rumble! !
With this simple movement, the entire underground space began to collapse violently!
The giant sand trees that supported this space lost all their support and collapsed like sandcastles built by children, turning into endless quicksand that poured down!

At the same time, all the sand around Gaara seemed to have a unified will, turning into a destructive torrent that swept towards the location of the 'corpse'!

This time, it's no longer teasing or playing around.

"Hahahaha!"

'Bones' shook off Luo Sha's corpse, looked at the falling sand sea, spread its arms, threw its head back and laughed wildly: "That's it! That's it! That's more like it!"

"Let us hate and kill each other! Until we tear each other to shreds!!" His scarlet eyes gleamed with pure battle joy.

The moment the words left his mouth, 'Skeleton' slammed his fists hard into the ground beneath his feet!
"Exterminate the grave fern!"

boom! !

A completely different aura of annihilation spread instantly from the point where his fists struck, reaching the entire space that was about to be completely submerged by the sea of ​​sand!
In the next instant, the chilling sound of bones breaking and growing overpowered the roar of the sandstorm, echoing throughout the entire space.

It could be seen from the cracks in the collapsed ground, from within the cascading sandfall, and even from the air itself…

Countless pale, sharp, gigantic bone spurs, bone forests, and bone flowers broke through the soil and grew through the sand on an unprecedented scale and density, forcibly reshaping the terrain of this space!
The massive bone pillars rose from the ground, forcefully supporting the collapsing dome.

The jagged bone walls tore through the sand waves, dividing the roaring sea of ​​sand!
Sharp, knife-like bone branches pierced out from all directions, strangling towards the core of the sandstorm!

"Hahaha! Come on! More! A lot more!"

The 'corpse' stood atop a massive, wildly growing bone pillar, laughing maniacally. Its bone armor constantly transformed, turning into even larger bone blades and shields as it slashed.

Gaara hovered in the center of the sandstorm, his face, formed from sand behind him, seemed to be tinged with anger as he thrust his hands forward!
More sand and dust gathered from all directions, making the sand waves thicker and more violent, coalescing into giant sand arms that slammed down on the ever-growing bone forest!
In an instant, the entire underground space seemed to transform into a terrifying battlefield of two completely different forces!
On one side is a furious, roaring sea of ​​sand that buries everything!

On one side is a forest of bones that proliferates wildly and tears everything apart!

Yellow sandstorms and towering waves collided with a pale, bone-covered forest, fueled by hatred and a desire for destruction!
boom! !

An indescribable, terrifying roar suddenly erupted, and the entire earth seemed to tremble violently from the impact, with sand and bone fragments flying wildly in all directions.
