The entire process took less than two seconds. The smoke bombs and detonators attacked one after another. First, there was a loud bang as thick black smoke burst out, followed by the explosion of the detonators.
boom! ! !
The smoke burst forth with an astonishing orange-red light, and Feng Ping's longsword fell with a thud onto the sandy ground, confirming the old man's death. At the same time, the flames, combined with the wind-style techniques of more than a dozen old men, stirred up an even more powerful fire tornado.
"It's not over yet!"
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet Technique!"
The old man, skilled in fire-style techniques, unleashed a terrifying burst of heat, further amplifying the power of the fire tornado and creating a massive fire tornado tens of meters high.
The warm light shone on the earth, and the Sand Village troops in the distance saw the attack and whispered prayers for the success of their seniors.
However, all efforts were in vain.
The fire tornado lasted for just over three minutes before the old men's chakra was exhausted. They were already retired with injuries and lacked regular exercise, so it was good enough that they could fight for even a few minutes.
The elderly people were panting, their eyes fixed on the gradually dissipating fire tornado.
One could see a pair of dark golden eyes and a streamlined female body, with beautiful lines of silver and gold, and her body was not injured at all by the arrival of the fire.
"ended."
The elderly are still making a final struggle, pulling up the last trap.
Countless kunai, shuriken, poisonous liquids, and explosive tags appeared on the battlefield, guided by chakra threads. The old people calmly accepted their deaths and gave up resistance.
Because they were also within the range of this attack.
boom! ! !
......
Seconds later, the battlefield returned to calm. Yekura looked up and, thanks to Ultraman's powerful senses, could clearly perceive that the main force of Sunagakure was about five or six kilometers away from her. If she wanted, she could arrive in an instant.
"almost."
She has killed the older generation of ninjas in Sunagakure, and even some clan elders who lacked the physical strength to act alongside ordinary villagers.
Now all that's left are young people, and the future might be...
"Ok?"
Her gaze fell upon three siblings of varying heights walking towards them from the direction the group was retreating, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Temari gripped her ninja tool, the iron fan, her eyes resolute as she looked at Pakura. "It was you... the demon who killed our father... and our predecessors!"
"Gaara, we might still make it in time to escape using the power of that monster inside us. As your brother..."
"Shut up!"
Kankuro immediately shut up. He was still a little afraid of his younger brother. After all, Gaara always had a cold face at school, and according to his father, Gaara's body was sealed with a monster, which added another layer of invisible terror.
Gaara ignored Kankuro, looked at Pakura in front of him, and asked in a calm tone: "You killed the Kazekage?"
“Yes,” Yekura replied calmly. “I not only killed Rasa, but also the more than twenty senior members and Sena’s reconnaissance team who just tried to stop me…”
“Alright.” Gaara interrupted Yekura’s narration and said, “Then all I need to do is kill you to gain my mother’s approval, right?”
In an instant, he appeared in the mental space. Shukaku stood there dumbfounded, staring through the mental membrane at Yekura outside, sensing the power emanating from her that was no less than that of the Six Paths...
"Big raccoon, I'm counting on you."
"I'll give you my body, please kill her!"
Shukaku: ......
Could you ask me before you come?
"Kid! Who do you think you are?!"
Shukaku looked down and saw the determined look in nine-year-old Gaara's eyes. His foul words caught in his throat, but he still couldn't help but mock, "Kid, with your strength, even if I gave you power, you wouldn't be able to withstand much of it."
"Besides..." He really had no face to say that his strength was inferior to Yecang's.
"Please!" Gaara bowed deeply to Shukaku.
"Only you can help me, please."
Shukaku was at a loss for words.
It will be resurrected in the future even if it dies, but Gaara, that brat, won't... or maybe not, perhaps the famous 'Uchiha Ghost Tale' will resurrect him.
"Then keep going. When you feel unwell, it means your body is breaking down. That's all the strength I can give you."
"Thank you, big tanuki!" Gaara gave Shukaku a nickname based on his impression of him.
"My name is Shukaku! Not Big Tanuki," Shukaku said arrogantly, and then its power began to flow towards Gaara.
Gaara smiled gratefully.
At the same time, just seconds later, Gaara in the outside world had a surge of red chakra surrounding his entire body, greatly increasing the amount of chakra that Gaara, who at his age, didn't have much chakra.
With the help of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, Gaara's total chakra finally reached the level of a Kage, and he is gradually moving towards the total chakra level that only a typical strong Kage can possess.
"That's enough, brat. That's enough." Shukaku clearly sensed that Gaara's physical limits had been reached, and increasing them further would harm his body.
"Thank you, Shukaku." Gaara raised his right hand and clenched his fist. "I feel like I'm even stronger than the Kazekage with this power."
“Don’t underestimate Rasa, he’s still your father,” Shukaku said.
Gaara nodded: "I know."
He never called Rasa "father," or rather, after his uncle Yashamaru died, he never called him "father" again.
"There's one more thing. The sand on your body isn't my power; it's your mother's power. Your father has been misunderstanding you all along, and I apologize." Shukaku couldn't bear to see Gaara die with regrets in his final battle.
"What?! The power within me... is my mother's power..." Gaara's power is not Magnet Release, but simply the control of sand, so Rasa always believed it was Shukaku's power.
Gaara carefully felt the sand that could move according to his will, and two tears involuntarily slid down his dark circles.
For a moment, Shukaku felt a pang of guilt, because it was it that had scared the little devil, causing him to have a sleepless night.
It was as if Gaara saw the same Benfu he once knew.
'Old man, is this the kind of relationship you described where humans and tailed beasts coexist?'
'But looking at it now, it's a bit of a pity.'
Shukaku doesn't believe it can survive Yotsuki's clutches; it will eventually be separated from Gaara.
Temari and Kankuro were greatly surprised when they heard this news from Gaara.
Temari: "So... this is Karura's mother's power?"
Kankuro: "Damn it... Why did Father...?"
The siblings were somewhat confused as to why their father was doing this...
“Although I don’t know what happened after I died,” Yekura said, “to the Karura I knew, she was always a gentle mother.”
"Alright, do you have any last words?"
As if hearing Yekura's threat and seeing the killing intent emanating from her, the sand formed a motherly shape and stood in front of the three siblings.
"..." Yekura was silent for a moment, then sighed slightly: "Karuro's chakra? It is somewhat similar to the two chakras in Naruto's mental space, but also different."
This power has reached the soul and belief, and can substantially grant Gaara, who originally did not possess the power of Magnet Release, the power to control sand.
At this moment, the three of them seemed to have broken free from the strained sibling relationship that had lasted for years and completely trusted each other.
"Sister, brother, you should leave quickly." Gaara finally realized the situation. His red chakra allowed him to raise his hand and stir up a large area of sand, which was particularly advantageous for him on the battlefield.
"Your strength is not enough, let me..."
Bang! ! !
The attack, intended to create a vast sea of sand, was easily penetrated by Pakura. Karura's human form was shattered, and a large hand gripped Gaara's neck. At that moment, Pakura absorbed all of Gaara's chakra.
This is a special ability she possesses when she transforms into Ultraman: she can absorb the chakra of the other person upon contact.
"Ahhh-"
"Gaara!" x2
Kankuro took out his crow puppet, and Temari gripped the iron fan, intending to attack Yokura's arm.
However, this attack was nothing more than a tickle to Yekura. The moment Yekura raised her other hand, a laser beam shot out from her fingertip, piercing through Kankuro's crow puppet and Kankuro, who was controlling the crow puppet with chakra threads.
Kankuro, feeling the excruciating pain from the bloody holes piercing his body, collapsed weakly onto the sandy ground. "Gaara..."
He used all his strength to barely manage to get the nearly destroyed crow puppet to fire a projectile that flew straight toward Ye Cang's head.
Yecang slightly turned his head to the side, dodging the attack, and glanced at Temari, who had also been hit by his laser beam. "You seem to have written a letter to Bufan before, right?"
"You mean... that Uchiha ghost story?" Temari endured the excruciating pain, her hand clutching her abdomen, which was filled with warm blood, and sneered, "You don't actually think I like him, do you? That was just something my father made me do."
"That's it."
"I understand."
After absorbing the One-Tailed Beast's chakra, Yekura naturally gained a portion of the One-Tailed Beast's chakra in her body. This was something only she among the women could do. As long as she transformed into Ultraman, she could use this tailed beast's chakra.
Since physical constitution cannot be improved, it can only be used in normal condition during the next advancement.
"You're useless."
Yekura tossed the incapacitated Gaara to the ground and looked at the three of them.
"I'm giving the three of you a chance, but only one of you can live."
"Whom will you let live?"
Upon hearing this, the three felt an extreme chill emanating from the soles of their feet all the way to the top of their heads.
Kankuro felt that his injuries were quite serious, and raised his hand, saying, "I...I choose Gaara. I'm sorry, sister."
Temari shook her head: "It's okay, I'll choose Gaara too, he's suffered a lot."
"I...I disagree!" Gaara struggled to his feet, trying to argue.
The self-sacrifice of everyone left Yekura somewhat silent. She acknowledged this will; even if Sunagakure could be rebuilt in the future, with ninjas like these, the village might be better off.
"You go."
After Yekura finished speaking, she transformed into Camilla and sensed the Konoha ninjas and Sunagakure troops chasing after her. She immediately realized that it was Tsunade and Chiyo.
Her body began to rise into the air, and soon she reached an altitude of ten thousand meters, flying straight towards the Land of Rain, or more accurately, the sea outside the Ninja Continent.
......
"We've finally made it." Tsunade wiped the sweat from her brow and looked at the three siblings who were still alive on the ground. "Are you alright?"
Kankuro and Temari, both with several holes in their bodies: ...
If you don't save us, we're really going to die.
The intense pain caused the two to faint before they could even respond. Tsunade quickly examined and treated them, discovering that Temari had a penetrating wound, which wasn't too serious, while Kankuro's internal organs were ruptured and he needed Yang energy to heal him to survive.
After half an hour of treatment, Tsunade created a wooden house to block the sandstorm and set up a temporary operating room. With the combined efforts of Chiyo and Tsunade, Kankuro's injuries were barely stabilized. They then used wood release to create a cart or stretcher for Kankuro and Temari to use.
According to Gaara's account, Yekura has given up the pursuit and is heading northeast, most likely to the Land of Rain.
Hatake Sagumo immediately used the Summoning Jutsu to have Pakkun and the other ninja dogs inform Kakashi, so that Kakashi could pass on this information to the Second Hokage.
Led by Maki, the retreating Sunagakure forces withdrew to a place dozens of kilometers away from Sunagakure Village, stopping on the outskirts of a town. About ten minutes later, they learned that Gaara and his two siblings were alive, as well as that the Fourth Kazekage and all the other teams they had arranged had been killed in action.
For a time, the people of Sunagakure were plunged into endless sorrow.
The village was once guarded by over a thousand Sand Village ninjas, but now only two hundred remain. Almost all of the mid-to-high-level combatants have been wiped out. The only remaining Jonin are Maki, the twenty-year-old Maki, and four other young Jonin. Most of the remaining two hundred are Genin.
In other words, after this battle, Sunagakure became the weakest ninja village among the five kingdoms. Even Kirigakure had at least two Kage-level ninja resurrected and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki returned, so they were not lacking in combat power at all.
The Sand Village now only has Chiyo, a Kage-level ninja, and Ebizo, a former elite Jonin who is now only slightly stronger than a Chunin.
Secondly, postwar statistics show that Yekura killed more than 100,000 people.
This news spread to various countries in the following days, shocking the five great nations and even the daimyo. The four nations demanded that their respective kage capture Yekura with all their might and kill him at all costs.
However, the four Shadows tacitly agreed to issue a wanted notice with a reward, and the idea of sending people to hunt them down was simply absurd.
The fame of "Dark Giant" Pakura for single-handedly defeating a nation's ninjas and escaping unscathed spread throughout the ninja world. Even overseas countries, such as the closed-off Land of Snow and the impoverished Land of Waves, learned of this incident several days later.
Meanwhile, Hancock and her crew arrived at Syrup Village after two days, and the Marine Headquarters also learned that the Justice Pirates had appeared in the East Blue.
Karp arrived in Shells Town the day after leaving Windmill Village, 'just in time' learning from the local navy.
boom!
