Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 249 Li Yao's Clay Explosion Release: One-on-One Battle Against Sunagakure Village

Standing atop the clay bird, a hundred meters above Sunagakure, Li Yao's specially purchased loudspeaker amplified his voice effectively. Combined with the fact that Sunagakure was surrounded by high stone walls, creating an echo chamber, most of the villagers heard his words.

It was midday, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians.

Everyone looked up at the sky, following the direction from which the sound came.

A hundred meters above the Fengying Building, human figures are not clearly visible, but the large white clay bird is exceptionally conspicuous.

"Who is that?"

"What did he just say?"

"Lord Kazekage is dead?"

"Was he murdered?"

"How is that possible?"

"The Kazekage is so powerful, the strongest Kazekage of all time, how could he possibly be...?"

Everyone was discussing it. They all thought that the three Kazekage were too powerful to be killed, but they quickly recalled the news brought back by Granny Chiyo that the Third Kazekage had disappeared.

For a moment, the entire Sand Village fell into an eerie silence.

Bang bang... Chiyo and the others arrived on the rooftop.

"Who are you?"

"You cowardly coward, were you really the one who dealt with the Third Kazekage and his group?"

Chiyo looked up and loudly questioned Li Yao high in the sky. At this moment, Li Yao was wearing a white vortex mask, so his appearance could not be seen.

"Except for one red-haired brat who escaped, the rest are dead."

After giving Sasori a reason to return to the village, Li Yao immediately mocked, "Even your so-called strongest Kazekage is utterly pathetic, far inferior to the Third Mizukage."

Damn it... As soon as Li Yao said that, the Sand Ninja below all lost their composure.

It's one thing for the enemy to kill the Third Kazekage, but they even dare to come to the village alone to mock us. This is intolerable!

"Kill him!"

Watanabe, his face grim, gave the order, no longer wanting to listen to the bastard in the sky.

The appearance of the other party means that the Third Kazekage may really be in trouble, and the plan to force Kazekage to defect has completely failed.

All he wants now is to kill the guy who ruined his plans.

"kill!"

In an instant, the ninjas who had come to the rooftop to control the siege crossbows began to fire sharp arrows.

"Haha..." Li Yao laughed as he controlled the clay bird to take off and dodge the dense crossbow bolts.

Soon, the clay bird arrived at a height of a thousand meters above the roof of Sunagakure.

At this height, the crossbows below became completely useless; the long arrows fired couldn't even reach the feet of the clay bird.

"Scorpion isn't dead!!!"

Chiyo was overjoyed. Even though the Third Kazekage might be dead, she couldn't suppress her happiness.

Her grandson is not dead!

"Damn it, that guy flew way too high!"

"Our attacks simply can't reach it!"

"Luo Sha, can you do it?"

In a corner of Sunagakure, Rasa's uncle looked at his exceptionally talented nephew with a hint of excitement in his eyes and said, "You are the only one in the entire village who can fly into the sky and fight the enemy. If you can defeat this enemy in front of everyone in the village, the next Kazekage will definitely be you."

Uncle Luo Sha got a little excited as he finished speaking.

Originally, with the death of the Third Kazekage, the most likely candidates to succeed as the Fourth Kazekage were Kazekage and Sasori of the Red Sand. However, now one of them is helpless against the enemies in the sky, and the other has most likely been killed by the enemy.

If Rasa can turn the tide this time and defeat the enemy in the air.

Everyone in the village will realize that only Rasa, who has mastered Magnet Release and can control the flying sand, can protect everyone and is qualified to become the Fourth Kazekage.

"I see."

Faced with his uncle's expectations, the ambitious Rasa realized that this was an opportunity, and regardless of whether it was for the future position of Kazekage, he had to stand up when the enemy attacked the village.

Luo Sha immediately used Magnet Release to manipulate the gold dust from the ground into a ball, jumped onto it, and then controlled the ball of gold dust to fly into the sky, heading towards Li Yao.

"Come on, let me see what kind of powerful figures Sunagakure has!"

High in the sky, Li Yao smiled slightly, and then with a thought, a huge white clay sphere instantly materialized.

Just like in Kumogakure, clay birds transformed and flew out from the surface of the huge white clay sphere, scattering down like a torrential rain.

"Sister, the enemy is attacking!"

Looking at the dense swarms of clay birds falling from the sky, Ebizo's expression changed drastically, and he quickly reminded his sister.

Now is not the time to think about grandchildren; let's drive the enemy away first.

Bang bang bang!

Ebizo unrolled the scroll and summoned three puppets, controlling the three puppets to fly into the sky, preparing to intercept the clay birds flying down.

At the same time, he ordered the other ninjas to coordinate their Water Release and Lightning Release techniques to stop most of the clay birds as much as possible.

The other ninjas should quickly cover the villagers as they enter the shelter for refuge.

Ebizo lived up to his reputation as a wise man, quickly arranging a response that brought immediate peace to Sunagakure, which was now without the Third Kazekage's command.

"Water Release..."

"Lightning Release..."

"Wind Release..."

Various escape techniques rose and fell, soaring into the sky to intercept the clay birds.

Explosions soon echoed across the sky above Sunagakure.

"Magnetic Release - Sand Gold Shigure!"

As soon as Luo Sha flew into the air, a dense swarm of clay birds descended rapidly from the sky, dozens of which rushed toward him. He quickly manipulated the gold dust to form small clumps of gold dust and shot them out.

Boom boom boom... The detonated clay birds shattered all the gold dust, and more clay birds followed.

The explosion is moving towards Rosa.

Clearly, Li Yao's clay birds were more numerous and faster than Luo Sha's gold dust rain.

However, Luo Sha also used this move, the large-scale sand gold rain, to intercept a large area of ​​clay birds.

This also caught Li Yao's attention.

"The future Fourth Kazekage?"

"What a pity, I can't let you take the fruit of the Wind Release clone."

With a thought, more clay birds flew from all directions toward Luo Sha in mid-air.

"not good!"

Thump thump thump...!

A huge explosion rang out, and gold dust flew everywhere. Suddenly, Rasa noticed that dozens of clay birds had bypassed the direction of the Gold Dust Rain's attack and were flying towards him from all directions below.

This level of control!

Luo Sha was instantly shocked and quickly manipulated the sand gold to wrap himself up in a thick layer, which was enough to withstand the explosive attack of the clay bird.

However, Luo Sha also understood that with his current strength, he would have difficulty even getting close to the enemies in the sky, let alone driving them away.

He might even attract the enemy's attention, putting his life in danger.

"hateful!!!"

Helpless, Rasa manipulated the gold dust to envelop him as he fell, for only on the ground could he unleash the full power of Magnet Release.

Defeating the enemy is no longer the priority; saving lives is the top priority.

Rasa quickly changed his approach, manipulating a large amount of gold dust to form a lotus flower, just like the Third Mizukage once manipulated black water to form a lotus flower to block the clay bird's attack.

"Innocent!"

Li Yao smiled. His clay bird could detour around obstacles, and compared to the Third Mizukage's black water, Rasa's gold dust was far inferior in defense.

The clay birds that attacked from a detour exploded on the gold-flecked pillar supporting the lotus, breaking it in two.

Boom!

The terrifying flow of gold dust directly destroyed several buildings.

"hateful!!"

At this moment, Rasa felt the same profound powerlessness that the ninjas of Kumogakure and Kirigakure had once felt.

Faced with Li Yao's attack alone, all the ninjas of Sunagakure were too busy to deal with him and had no way to launch an attack on Li Yao high in the sky.

Sunagakure is famous for its puppeteer unit, but the puppeteers are somewhat overwhelmed and unable to defend themselves against the dense swarm of clay birds.

Even a puppet master like Chiyo, who could control ten puppets to launch attacks simultaneously, was powerless against Li Yao's attack that targeted the entire village.

"That guy's chakra is terrifying!!!" Chiyo exclaimed in shock.

The clay birds in the sky seemed endless, like a torrential rain that would never stop.

Boom boom boom... Huge explosions echoed throughout Sunagakure.

Li Yao's clay birds were too numerous; even though all the Sand Village ninjas did their best to intercept them, they still couldn't stop them, and many slipped through.

After all, the speed of the clay bird is such that without the reaction speed of a Jonin or higher in taijutsu and ninjutsu, it's impossible to stop it.

"Help me..."

"what……"

"My legs..."

"Quick, there are wounded here... Ah..."

In an instant, screams echoed throughout Sunagakure.

Li Yao appeared too suddenly and launched his attack too quickly; many villagers didn't have time to hide in the shelter.

Fortunately, Li Yao didn't have any ill intentions towards ordinary people.

His clay flying birds are all heading towards the areas where the ten great clans are located to find ninjas to bombard. This time, the ten great clans must have suffered heavy losses.

The civilian areas were also bombed, but only the houses were destroyed.

Of course, civilian casualties were equally heavy.

However, the casualties were not as terrifying as those caused by Li Yao's targeted attacks.
