Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

The voice of the Human Path rang out, and then his palm pressed down on Kankuro's head.

"Stop!!"

Amid Gaara's furious shouts, quicksand gathered and swept towards the human realm.

However, the next moment, the Animal Path appeared between the two, pressing its hands to the ground: Summoning Technique!

A giant stone panda statue suddenly appeared, but the impact of the quicksand had no effect on it.

But at that very moment, massive wind blades swept in, engulfing both Human Path and Kankuro.

Wind Release: Great Scythe Itachi!

"Shh!"

Once again, the Hungry Ghost Realm, which had been poised to strike, appeared and reached out to block all the wind blades in front of it.

Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!

Beneath the light barrier, like a funnel, the wind-attribute chakra was completely absorbed, and the wind blades also dissipated.

At that moment, a crisp sound of someone falling to the ground rang out.

Kankuro lay sprawled on the ground, motionless.

In an instant, Gaara and Temari were both stunned.

Having never experienced war before, this was the first time the two had witnessed a loved one die before their eyes. Anger filled their hearts.

"asshole!!!"

Temari roared, and a large amount of wind-style chakra surged into the giant folding fan in her hand.

Wind Release: Wind Killing Formation!

The hurricane formed a tornado, instantly sucking in all the surrounding trees and pulverizing them into dust.

However, even a Wind Release technique that exceeds its limits is merely a source of chakra nourishment under the sealing and absorption techniques of the Preta Path.

At that moment, Aiba rushed over and grabbed Temari, who was about to continue attacking: "No matter how strong the ninjutsu is, it will be absorbed by the opponent. Such impulsiveness will only make you die from chakra depletion and will not do you any good."

At this moment, Pain, the Deva Path, nodded: "He's right. No ninjutsu is meaningful in front of the Six Paths of Pain. Besides, that wind-style power just now has probably exhausted your chakra, hasn't it?"

Temari, supporting herself with her folding fan, glared angrily at Tendo as she gasped for breath: "You killed Kankuro, and I will not let you get away with this."

The Heavenly Dao shook its head expressionlessly: "Too many people have already tried to kill me, but I have sent them all to the world of death."

As he spoke, Pain looked at Gaara, who had his head bowed: "You're angry too, aren't you? That inexperienced puppeteer who rushed out to help you just now was probably one of the only two brothers who had acknowledged you, right?"

"The seeds of hatred have already been sown in your heart, and you wish you could kill me immediately to take revenge, right? Under the rule of the Five Great Ninja Villages, there have been many years of war. Do you know how many people are filled with hatred like you are now?"

Gaara kept his head down, but his hands were clenched tightly.

The other party was right. At this moment, all he wanted was to crush the enemy in front of him into dust in the sand and avenge Kankuro.

Having already witnessed the power of this world's top experts, Gaara knew very well that he was no match for the six opponents.

With a variety of abilities, each one can be a challenge for ordinary ninjas.

"Hand... Sister, you should leave first!"

The sound rang out, and Temari, who was standing to the side, was taken aback.

This is the first time Gaara has called her "older sister," but leaving? Kankuro was killed, so of course she has to avenge him!

Seeing that he didn't move, Gaara shouted, "Leave!!"

The next moment, a grain of sand suddenly appeared, binding Temari, who was already weakened, and sending her away from Sunagakure.

While doing all this, Gaara kept a close eye on the other side, but fortunately, perhaps because of his arrogance, the other side did not make a move and watched him act.

Only after Temari left did Gaara look at Aiba behind him and say, "You should leave too. In the upcoming battle, even if you are already a Jonin, you will only be a hindrance."

Aiba smirked and said, "I know exactly what you're up to, you monster. Do you want to trade your life for the future of Sunagakure?"

"If even a monster like you can do this, why can't I? It's just a matter of being killed. I survived the Third Shinobi World War, so it's even less likely now!"

Gaara nodded upon hearing this: "Then, from now on, we will both risk our lives!"

Just as the two were about to make their move, Pain raised his hand to stop them.

After a moment's thought, he spoke: "Under this new and immense fear, perhaps those who should have been eliminated will change. Keeping you might have some insignificant effect."

Pain then looked at Gaara and said, "The One-Tailed Jinchuriki, the three people involved in the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, have already defected from Akatsuki. And you are their target, not ours."

"We've already acquired the locations of the other two targets, so there's no point in continuing this game with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pain instantly disappeared from the scene.

With a wave of his hand, Gaara sent a shower of sand down, but no one was left behind.

"call……"

Aiba breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the distance, then said solemnly, "Their target... their direction is towards Granny Chiyo and Lord Ebizo!"

Gaara's gaze sharpened, and he immediately gave chase.

After his death, Aiba thought for a moment, then frowned and followed.

……

Meanwhile, outside Sunagakure Village.

"Hasn't the commotion been big enough? With so many corpses, the Anbu of Sunagakure is probably all gone."

Deidara then detonated another giant clay bird, collecting the last drop of blood.

On the other side, Hidan looked down at his own filthy intestines, which were dragging on the floor. They were incredibly dirty, and so much of it was starting to affect his performance.

So he had no choice but to swallow his pride again and ask Upper Corner to stitch him up.

Sasori glanced at Sunagakure below: "If there's no follow-up support, they won't be sending any more squads to their deaths until they come up with a plan to target us all."

"The leader should be finishing up soon too."

Kakuzu glanced at Sasori, chuckled, and said, "Although there aren't many geniuses among the younger generation of Sunagakure for various reasons, even so, the older generation like Chiyo and Ebizo, whom we're targeting, are not like these guys."

Kakuzu chuckled as he spoke: "Sasori, are you starting to feel sentimental now? After all, it was your old village, so it's understandable."

"Shh!"

Scorpion's tail lashed out in an instant, only stopping abruptly when it appeared right in front of Kakuzu.

"Once is acceptable, twice is acceptable, but not a third time. Besides, even if the leader were here, I would still fight you if you said that."

Kakuzu glanced at the scorpion's tail in front of him, then smiled and nodded.

Although he can be a bit foul-mouthed at times, he knows exactly what to do in these situations.

"Hey hey hey!"

Deidara's voice dispelled the heavy atmosphere between the two.

Then he said, "Seriously, are we just going to sit here and wait? Can't we go in and set off some fireworks or something? I can't wait!"

Kakuzu coldly replied, "The order is to regroup here and retreat. If you think you are strong enough to defy the leader and Uzumaki Sora, then you are welcome to try."

The mere mention of Sora's name silenced Deidara.

Not only him, but Hidan, who had just had his stitches done, also stopped trying to continue.

At that very moment, giant crossbows from Sunagakure were also aimed at this spot, ready to fire.

……

Chapter 278: The Three Treasures Absorb and Collapse

Sunagakure Village, a place of seclusion.

"Shh."

The fishing hook was cast into the small pond in front of him, but the ripples it created made the old man across from him frown.

You just scared my fish away!

The old man, who was very frail and decrepit, was quite dissatisfied, but the old woman opposite him showed no intention of backing down.

"You can't catch a fish and blame me for scaring it away? An old geezer like you can only hook the fish and then reel it in!"

The old woman rolled her eyes as she spoke.

Ebizo, sitting opposite him, didn't want to argue anymore, and the two of them sat facing each other in silence once again.

If you don't look closely, you might even think that these two old guys are dead.

After a long pause, Ebizo raised his head slightly: "The commotion outside has subsided. It seems to be over."

Chiyo glanced at him and said, "What does this have to do with you, you old geezer?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head again and pretended to doze off, paying no attention to the movement of the fishing rod.

Ebizo did the same, turning his head to glance at the gate. In such a short time, things should have calmed down.

Chiyo lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "You and I are both about to go to the Pure Land. We're quite old, and we've agreed not to get involved in the village's affairs anymore."

"The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, that fool may be weak to outsiders, but he has too many tricks up his sleeve when it comes to internal strife. He's lucky if he doesn't get kicked out of his place to retire."

After a long pause, Hai Laozang sighed.

Ultimately, it is up to the next generation to grow up.

The Fourth Kazekage was indeed a fool, but such a fool is now the Kazekage of Sunagakure. As the Kazekage, he will not allow any threat to his position.

Yekura died for the same reason.

At that moment, Chiyo looked up towards the door.

"squeak……"

The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and Pain, the first in line, had just taken a step out...

"Shh!"

Two large swords fell from the left and right sides, beheading the target, while thousands of books came rushing towards it from directly in front.

Shinra Tensei!
