Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

Luo Sha's head rolled on the sand, his unseeing eyes staring at the sky.

Chapter 136: The Battle of Sunagakure Ends! News from the Justice Pirates!

Sand Hidden Village.

At this moment, the vast village was almost deserted, and the lights that were on were from when they fled.

Click.

When Yekura entered the room, she turned off the door for them.

Leaning against the window, the night breeze gently blows, fluttering a few strands of hair on the girl's forehead, her brown eyes gazing at the moonlight.

She won.

A sense of exhilaration at revenge welled up within me, but it quickly cascaded down like a waterfall.

An endless loneliness welled up in my heart, and an unprecedented sense of solitude continued to rise.

"So this is what it feels like to have no rivals..." She is currently resting and recuperating.

The battle with Tsunade and the others had already depleted most of his strength. He would continue the pursuit after recovering some chakra and stamina.

Moreover, only by giving them hope can we lead them to even deeper despair.

......

Hatake Sagumo and the Sunagakure team continued their journey, heading towards Sunagakure Village.

Soon, they arrived at the village, which had been reduced to a scene of devastation.

The village, which once had a somewhat modern feel in the desert, has now become very quiet and deserted.

"What happened here? Did Tsunade and the others fail?"

Although fierce battles had taken place in the sandy area, the desert winds were particularly noisy at night. After being continuously blown and washed away, the sandy area was no longer recognizable as a battlefield, and the bodies from before were carried to the village by the later-arriving Maki squad and the Chiyo siblings.

Of the hundred or so members of the Sunagakure squad, more than ninety percent were panting heavily, using all their strength to keep up with Hatake Sagumo and their own Jonin.

The current scene, however, leaves everyone feeling far from at ease.

"how so..."

"Could it be Lord Rasa...?"

There seems to be someone there!

Just as the Sand Village team was sighing, a Sand Village ninja spotted a figure moving around in the village.

Upon hearing this, the Sand Village team instantly regained their original vigor and quickened their pace, rushing towards that location.

A few minutes later.

Hatake Sagumo and the Sunagakure team arrived at the open space one after another, and the people in front also noticed them.

Tsunade, having regained some strength, stood on the ground, looking helplessly at the corpses scattered around her. She then turned to Hatake Sagumo, who had just arrived, and said, "Sakumo, we've failed."

Upon hearing this, the air instantly became oppressive, and the Sand Village ninjas, who had initially held onto a sliver of hope, were all rendered stunned and filled with despair.

The pitch-black night was bathed in a faint moonlight, enough to make out the corpses on the ground.

The head was separated from the body, and Rasa, wearing the Kazekage robe, came into clear view of the Sand Village ninjas.

"Lord Luo Sha!"

"Kazekage-sama!"

"Fourth generation!"

The Sunagakure troops who arrived burst into tears, and even Hatake Sagumo was affected by their grief.

He walked up to Tsunade and the Uchiha trio, ignoring Chiyo who was looking at him with a complicated expression, and whispered:

"Tsunade, where's Pakura?"

Tsunade shook her head: "They left the village ten minutes ago. We should be chasing after them now."

"this..."

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo's pupils dilated in shock, but he tried his best to keep his tone calm.

"Then...then doesn't that mean..."

"Hmm." Tsunade answered Hatake Sagumo directly, "I'm afraid the chances of survival are slim."

The young Chiyo looked somewhat forlorn. "If I had forcibly taken back Rasa's power back then, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."

“What’s the use of saying all this now, sister?” Ebizo said, turning to look at the many ninjas from Sunagakure. “What we need to do now is to preserve the last hope of Sunagakure.”

Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, and for a moment he seemed to see his younger self in Pakura's figure.

If he had defeated Hashirama Senju back then, the outcome wouldn't have been any different.

only...

Is this really the ending he wanted?

Or rather, is this what Hakukura, who has now achieved her revenge, wanted?

Madara Uchiha fell into deep thought.

Then, he gently shook his head.

'Indeed, only Project Eye of the Moon represents the perfect peace.'

.......

In front.

A long line stretched across the desert, with countless people carrying their packs, heading to the town closest to Sunagakure for a temporary stay.

"Jonin, something's wrong. The intelligence team responsible for covering the main force has lost contact..."

Upon hearing this, a resolute look appeared on Juan's face. "Next, it will be the last stand of our Sunagakure Village."

"I'm planning to give the villagers a little more time to evacuate! Is there anyone willing to join me?"

"I!"

"And I!"

At this moment, Sunagakure is unexpectedly united, with a steady stream of ninjas emerging, and even retired veteran ninjas planning to participate.

"Esteemed seniors, please don't do this." Juan felt immense pressure as he saw the seniors step out of the line.

"Although we are old, we were once elite ninjas who had experienced many great battles. If we hadn't lost this arm, we would probably still be in the village's ninja archives."

"Senior Mao..."

“We’re the same, young lady. Let us, the older generation, cover for you,” said a retired female ninja from Sunagakure, who was in her fifties.

"Although there are only about twenty of us, we are enough to hold off that little girl Ye Cang for a while."

"Yes! Let us do it!"

"Young people should continue to lead the future of Sunagakure, how can they be like us!"

The old ninjas of Sunagakure spoke up one by one, while Maki and the other Sunagakure ninjas remained silent.

At this moment, Sunagakure has only about two hundred ninja left. The rest are either scattered throughout the Land of Wind, on missions outside the village, or have died in the battle just now.

Two hundred ninjas escorted hundreds of thousands of villagers, a truly tragic situation.

"I'm counting on you!"

As one of only three Jonin present, Juan bowed to the more than twenty veteran ninjas in front of him to express his respect.

The other Sand Village ninjas standing beside him also began to bow.

"Alright. Let's go, it's time for us old fogies to sacrifice ourselves." Senior Mao took the ninja tool pouch from a young ninja. "Any explosive tags inside?"

The young ninja hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "Sorry, I don't have that..."

"It's alright if we don't have any. We have plenty of kunai and shuriken. Young people these days are really rich." Mao smiled and didn't care. The other senior members also found a ninja and asked for ninja tool bags or ninja weapons.

"It's been so long since I've held a knife, I wonder if I can still wield it a few times!"

"You, with only a prosthetic leg, think you can charge up and swing a knife? Give the knife to me!"

"Where do you think you are! Your left hand muscles are atrophied, how can you manage with just one hand?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

The veterans chatted and laughed as they shared the equipment and items they had just received from the younger generation, and then began to discuss their battle plans.

Juan and the others could only stand a hundred meters away, bow to the veterans again from afar, and then turn around to continue following the retreating team.

The retreating team cannot stop because there are ordinary people among them. The ninjas are too fast, and if someone stops, the team will not be stretched out.

Many elderly people had fallen behind the main group and were left behind, covered by a small team of about ten Sand Village ninja.

But at this moment, the six-person reconnaissance team behind this large group had lost contact, which was enough to show that the Sand Village team responsible for protecting the old man and woman had all died.

Hu~hu~

The wind and sand swept by, making the desert night exceptionally desolate, with frighteningly low temperatures.

Despite wearing only a few thin layers of clothing, Yekura felt no cold at all. On the contrary, the continuous killing made her inner temperature far lower than her external temperature.

"A trap? This team is not bad; at least they're not just blindly attacking."

Yecang spoke calmly, and through his senses, he could detect an anomaly in the sandy area ahead.

"As expected of a former Jonin from Sunagakure!"

With two whooshing sounds, two poison needles emerged from the sandy area and shot out.

Ye Cang stared at the poisoned needles, his dark energy blocking their attack. At the same time, an old man wielding a short sword emerged from the sandy area.

"Wind Blade - Thousand Streams Blade Technique!"

The old man was once a rare taijutsu jonin in Sunagakure who wielded a sword. After losing his left leg in the Third Shinobi World War, he lost his powerful fighting ability. In addition, due to his advanced age, the village did not allow him to continue working as a ninja.

At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to his youth, fighting on the battlefield to become a glorious Sand Village ninja for the sake of the Sand Village and the Land of Wind.

At this moment, Yekura did not use her blood power or any other abilities. Instead, she quickly took out a kunai and used the same 'Wind Blade' to clash with the old man's longsword.

In an instant, the longsword and the kunai collided with a hiss. The poisoned needle, weakened by the dark power, fell to the sand. Ye Cang calmly turned around and looked at the old senior she vaguely remembered, saying:

"Senior Fengping."

"Looks like you still remember me, Xiao Yecang." Feng Ping smiled, but his long sword only held for a few seconds before he felt weak and his hands began to tremble.

Ye Cang remained calm as always, holding a kunai in his left hand and pointing his right hand at a female senior who was rushing towards him, and said, "But with so little power, why stay and die?"

"Are you going to wait to be hunted down by a junior like you instead of going to your death?!" The female senior stopped in her tracks when she saw Ye Cang's movements, and threw a kunai with a smoke bomb attached to the end of it.

At the same time, an older veteran in another position fired a kunai, the handle of which was wrapped with an explosive tag.

"I see."

"Sacrifice yourself to give them time to ambush me, is that it?"

Yecang lowered his right hand and looked at the senior in front of him who had been locked in a stalemate for several seconds and was now panting heavily.

"That's enough, you brat Yekura. I'll take you to hell with me."

As the kunai approached from the front and back, several old men emerged from the sandy areas on both sides, their hand seals already completed. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Wind Release: Infinite Great Breakthrough!"

The two sides joined forces to suppress Yekura's actions with Wind Release, while an old man was rapidly forming hand seals, intending to use a Fire Release technique.

Seeing this, Yecang reached into her thin clothes with her right hand and took out the Spark Lens.

She respected her seniors, so she was willing to withstand this seemingly powerful attack. However, she didn't have Tsunade's physique, and without transforming to withstand the attack, she would definitely be injured.

"Let the seniors witness the power of the juniors firsthand."

The old man's eyes reflected Ye Cang raising his magic wand, and he felt a sense of foreboding. "Don't even think about it!"

The chakra within her body erupted once more, and the wind blade above the longsword shone even brighter, yet even so, the kunai in Yekura's hand remained unshaken.

"Camilla!"

Countless rays of light mixed with dark energy surged into Yekura's body, and the figure of Ultraman Camilla appeared. He still held the kunai, but when Kazehira tried to push forward, there was no response, as if he was sharpening a knife for Yekura.
