Narration system starting from Konoha

Kong nodded: "It's about two hundred meters underground, and there are several unfamiliar auras."

"Oh no, I sensed Shukaku's presence. If I'm not mistaken, they're extracting the Tailed Beast."

Temari's expression changed drastically.

"First, fire the signal flare to summon more support ninjas, then use earth-style techniques while simultaneously digging a tunnel by manpower."

Temari forced herself to calm down and took out a signal flare to launch it into the sky.

At a depth of two hundred meters, even Uchiha Sora didn't have a good solution.

A normal Earth Release ninjutsu's core is only thirty or forty meters deep.

Uchiha Sora aimed at the flat ground and formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Slash".

The flat ground shook violently, and the area within a radius of hundreds of meters slowly rose, eventually reaching more than twenty meters. The middle part cracked open instantly and collapsed to both sides.

He took a deep breath and formed the hand seal again.

The ground that had just risen rose again, continuing to rise for more than ten meters before stopping.

Uchiha Sora let out a long sigh and shook his head.

"It would be difficult for me to dig a 200-meter-deep tunnel by myself."

Kong formed hand seals again: "Earth Release, Earthquake Core".

The cracked ground suddenly shot upwards from the middle, rising another thirty meters before stopping.

However, as Uchiha Ku's ninjutsu stopped and his chakra was severed, the raised ground gradually shrank back.

Sora shook his head again: "To open up a 200-meter passage, we need a lot of Earth Release ninjas, and Sakura who has learned Super Strength."

With my involvement, there's only a slight chance. It seems I need to send a message to the village explaining the situation.

"Have Sakura ride a flying bird and come here."

"Can it really be connected?"

Temari knows the difficulty of a 200-meter-deep cave; even in Iwagakure, it would be a huge problem.

"There's a good chance."

Without hesitation, Kong quickly wrote down the situation and put it in the small box on the back of the big bird.

He patted the big bird's head: "Go to Konoha and pass the information to the intelligence department."

The large bird cried out and soared into the sky.

Uchiha Sora and Temari leaned against a large tree, waiting quietly.

During this time, ninjas from the Grass Village came to investigate.

He was dismissed by Uchiha Sora with a few words.

Temari clearly couldn't sit still and kept standing up to look around.

We hope that support will arrive as soon as possible.

"I can see that you care about Gaara. I remember the first time you came to Konoha."

When did your and Kankuro's fear of Gaara begin to outweigh your concern for him?

Temari gradually calmed down and leaned against a big tree: "Gaara changed after he was defeated by Naruto."

He seemed like a completely different person until later when he said he wanted to run for Kazekage.

"When he led the Sand Village to rise again, I knew Gaara had truly changed."

Chapter 428 Cooperation

As dusk fell, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from the distant forest.

Temari, who was almost in despair, stood up excitedly.

A cry rang out in the sky, and two large birds appeared in the distance.

Temari looked at Sora excitedly: "Can you sense Gaara's current situation?"

Kong pondered, "The aura is very weak, and the tailed beast has already been extracted. Even if we break through the ground now, all we will find is Gaara's corpse."

"Even the body must be found."

An aged voice rang out; it was Chiyo's voice.

Chiyo, Kankuro, and many other Sunagakure ninja.

"I have a way to save Gaara. The most important thing now is to find Gaara's intact body."

"senior...."

Temari Kankuro and many other Sand Ninjas stared at Chiyo in disbelief.

It is common knowledge in the ninja world that a Jinchuriki will inevitably die after extracting a Tailed Beast.

Now, Chiyo has a way to revive Gaara, whose tailed beast has been extracted, which sounds like a fairy tale to everyone.

Chiyo only said one sentence and then fell silent.

Temari and Kankuro's hopes were rekindled.

"Kong, I'm counting on you from now on."

"Kong, tell me what to do next."

Uchiha Sora nodded to the crowd: "Earth Release ninjas, step forward."

Five Sand Villagers stepped forward.

He gave a brief explanation during the break.

"The five of you are responsible for using the earthquake core, and Sakura is responsible for launching the rising earthquake core."

"At 20 meters each, ten of them would clear a 200-meter stretch."

Sakura shook her head: "I can break the bottom, but it's difficult to knock it away."

Kong laughed and said, "And I'm here too."

Sakura nodded, understanding what Sora meant.

Soon, everyone was ready.

The five Sand Village members lined up in order, and the first one began to form hand seals.

A large section of the ground slowly rose, all the way up to two hundred meters.

Uchiha Sora entered Sage Mode, rapidly condensing Sage Techniques in his hands, creating Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

A buzzing sound echoed through the forest.

Chiyo gave Uchiha Sora a deep look. This powerful ninjutsu condensed the Wind Release technique into a highly refined form.

This completely overturned her understanding of ninjutsu.

Uchiha Sora noticed Chiyo's unusual behavior, but pretended not to see it.

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken flew from his hand, carrying a gentle breeze, and struck the protruding core of the earth in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, it cut through the bottom and flew into the forest behind.

It struck an ancient tree in the distance, forming a giant sphere of wind.

Countless highly condensed wind bolts, as fine as needles, surged and crashed through the tree, leaving it riddled with holes in the blink of an eye.

A huge circular crater appeared in the ground.

Uchiha Sora winked at Sakura.

Sakura took a deep breath, rushed forward quickly, leaped up, clenched her fist, and slammed it into the bottom of the Earthquake Core.

"Boom!"

Like a Mars collision with Earth, soil flew everywhere, and the 20-meter-high seismic core flew backward.

It flew three or four meters before crashing to the ground with a loud bang.

As dust billowed up, Uchiha Sora swiftly used a Water Release ninjutsu to quell the floating dust.

Kong nodded and said, "Continue."

Kankuro and Temari were completely dumbfounded; they never expected that this method could be used.

No one had thought of it before.

The ground that was lifted by the seismic core weighed countless tons and was beyond human power to move.

Only a ninja with superhuman strength could knock it away.

"Sakura must be Tsunade's successor. Konoha really has a continuous tradition."

Chiyo said sourly.

Chiyo and Tsunade were old rivals during the Second Shinobi World War.

It's surprising that Tsunade's apprentice is already so outstanding, while Chiyo doesn't even have a proper successor.

She used to regard her grandson Sasori as her successor, but unfortunately Sasori not only defected, but also killed the Third Kazekage.

Seeing that Konoha is full of talented people, and that the younger generation is stronger than the last.

Chiyo felt a pang of jealousy.

Gaara, the only remaining survivor of Sunagakure, still needs her to risk her life to save him.

The world is so unfair.

The operation continued, with Uchiha Kaku constantly forming and throwing Rasenshuriken, cutting through each rising core of the earthquake.

He could sense that Gaara was getting closer and closer to them.

Earth Release ninjutsu can alter the terrain, but it will revert to its original state once the technique is dispelled.

If the ninjutsu is not dispelled, it will continue to drain chakra.
