The desert under the moonlight was very quiet, and it was very different from the sand that covered the sky during the day. Only the faint sound of the wind could be heard.
Sakura Shinobu was spread out on top of the stairs, guarding the village energetically.
And tonight, they encountered a rare enemy attack.
"It's Akatsuki, hurry up and inform …" Before Sakura Shinobu could finish his sentence, the rocks under his feet shattered, and an arm suddenly shot out and pierced through Sakura Shinobu's chest, holding tightly onto a beating heart.
The smell of blood drifted along with the night wind. The well-trained Sakura Shinobu did not panic, and instead, they moved with a clear goal in mind.
A bright flame exploded in the sky, and it could be seen clearly from several miles away. This was a signal flare, which had not been used for many years, because no one was able to reach Sand Crypsis Village.
The moment the signal flare exploded, a large white bird could be seen streaking across the sky and disappearing into the night.
The massacre at the entrance of the village was still ongoing.
"Be careful of these monsters, use Ninjutsu and Explosive Charms to get rid of these damned things." A captain of Sakura Shinobu shouted loudly and ordered his team to attack.
Four masked monsters that were formed by twisted black blood vessels scuttled around on top of the mountain, continuously attacking Sakura Shinobu.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Jade."
"Wind Release: Net."
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Jutsu."
Sakura Shinobu had been carrying out missions together for many years, and their teamwork was flawless. Even without the command of their captain, they were still good at fighting. This was how Sakura Shinobu, who were once forced to follow the path of elites, were trained to be powerful.
Wind Release: Fire Release: Earth Release: Wind Release: Fire Release: Earth Release: Earth Release: Together with the Explosive Charms flying around in the sky, orange flames danced and danced, lighting up the night sky. The four monsters were forcefully blown into smithereens, although the price they paid was the lives of more than 10 Sakura Shinobu. The smell of smoke and blood mixed in the air, this was the smell of a battlefield.
"Captain Tsuruda, the enemy should be dead, right?"
Iwata wrinkled his brows and didn't reply to his subordinate's question. As a jonin who was in charge of guarding the village's entrance and exit, his strength was undoubtedly powerful. Thus, he felt that something was wrong. Those 4 monsters seemed to have been dealt with, but he kept having the feeling that something was missing …
Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the corpse of a dead Sakura Shinobu. There was a lot of blood, and the internal organs had been dug out. Most importantly, the heart was missing.
Glancing around, a total of four corpses had lost their hearts. This number made him very uneasy, but he couldn't find the hidden enemy. The Sensor Ninja explored dozens of meters underground, but he still couldn't find the enemy. It seemed that there really were only these four monsters.
But the more it was like this, the more cautious he became. He tensed his nerves and silently kept his guard up. The remaining Sakura Shinobu were also on their guard. They saw the look on their captain's face. Although they had some doubts, they chose to believe in their captain.
The night wind was getting stronger, and the sound of the wind was getting sharper.
"As expected of Sakura Shinobu, their vigilance is really strong." Kakuzu slowly rose up from the ground and stood at the bottom of the cliff. He raised his head and stared at the group of Sakura Shinobu. His green eyes were filled with the desire to kill.
"There shouldn't be any enemies underground! I have clearly scouted the area 3 times! " Sakura Shinobu who was in charge of sensing shouted loudly. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and confusion. How could they hide from his senses?
"Brat, if your senses were to go dozens of meters deeper, you would have discovered me." Kakuzu said mockingly.
"How is that possible? Diving so deep underground, just the pressure of the ground should be enough to make a person explode, right? "Sakura Shinobu cried out in surprise. He couldn't believe what Kakuzu said.
Kakuzu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Sakura Shinobu as if he was looking at an idiot. "Brat, who do you think I am? That pressure is nothing."
The wind was getting stronger, and four masked monsters appeared behind Kakuzu, causing a commotion among the Sakura Shinobu. These monsters should have been dealt with before.
"The hearts from before were almost destroyed. It just so happened that I replaced them with younger and more energetic hearts. Now, all of you can die!" Kakuzu's voice sounded very uncomfortable. It was low, hoarse, and indescribably twisted.
Iwata's face was as white as paper. Kakuzu's words made him guess a lot of things, and his heart couldn't help but sink. He was afraid that this battle was going to end badly.
"Fire Release: First Strike."
"Wind Release: Pressure."
The highly compressed wind bullet was thrown into the flames, and in an instant, a monstrous wave of fire erupted. The sea of fire engulfed most of the rocks, and except for Iwata and a few other powerful Jonins, the rest of the Sakura Shinobu couldn't escape. After a miserable scream, they were directly burned by the flames.
"Damn it, how can it be so strong? It's not at the same level as those monsters just now! "A Jonin quickly retreated, and prepared to use Earth Release to suppress the sea of fire.
"Lightning Release: Shadow."
The lightning spear that was shining in the air shot down like a bolt of lightning from the sky. Its speed was extremely fast, and the two Jonins were unable to dodge in time. They were directly pierced by the lightning spear and were annihilated. Even the majestic mountain rock was pierced by the lightning spear.
In just a few breaths, only two Sakura Shinobu were left alive, Iwata and another powerful Sakura Shinobu. Both of them were pale, but they didn't retreat. Even if they knew that they would die if they stayed, they were the guardians of the village, and they would do their duty with their lives.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Jade."
"Wind Release: Wind Killing Formation."
Iwata and the other Jonin were both wind release experts. Wind bullets shot out at high speed, and sharp wind blades spiraled into a formation in an attempt to surround and kill the monsters.
Their faces were as pale as the dead, but their eyes were calm. They didn't expect to survive, and they only wanted to kill as many monsters as possible. For this, they gave up on defense, stopped using Chakra, and used their strongest ninjutsu to attack.
The masked monster that was using Lightning Release was riddled with holes by the wind bullets, and then it was cut into pieces by the wind blades and scattered in the night wind.
"Pu! Pu! "
Almost at the same time, Iwata and the other Sakura Shinobu's chest was pierced through, and they could only watch as their hearts beat in front of their eyes. They opened their mouth to speak, but they could only spit out blood from their abscesses.
"You guys are not bad, you destroyed one of my hearts …" Kakuzu didn't finish his words, and a sizzling sound could be heard coming from Iwata's body.
Boom! Boom!
Two violent flames soared into the sky, and more than a dozen explosive charms exploded at the same time, the destructive power was extremely shocking.
"Bastard, you actually destroyed one of my hearts." Kakuzu rushed out from the flames with his face covered in dust, and his shiny metal skin blocked the impact of the flames. However, the masked monster that killed the other Sakura Shinobu didn't manage to escape and was turned into ashes by the explosive charms.
"Fortunately, I still have a few corpses to replenish my energy, damn it." Kakuzu cursed. He found the corpse of the Sakura Shinobu that was killed at the beginning and dug out its heart to replenish his energy.
"Deidara, that idiot is really slow." Kakuzu stood at the highest point of the mountain with the four monsters, looking at the majestic clouds in the sky of Sand Crypsis Village and Deidara who was flying everywhere.
