"As expected, Brother Xie's strength is even better, yes."
Seeing that Kazekage Rasa couldn't get up again, Deidara breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, because of Luo Sha's defeat, the placer gold that imprisoned Didara's hands and feet also fell away from his body bit by bit.
Let Deidara regain his freedom.
After stretching his muscles a little, Deidara simply used all the remaining clay.
After all, the clay owl has been buried deep underground by Luosha's placer gold.
It couldn't be dug out for a while.
To take Gaara away, he had to create flying creatures from new clay.
But this time, Deidara didn't repeat his old tricks and made a clay owl.
Instead, he made a big bird out of clay.
Bend your knees slightly, jump up, and land on the bird's back.
"Scorpion of red sand..."
However, although Luo Sha fell to the ground, his consciousness had not yet fallen into darkness, and he was still chanting the name of the traitorous ninja.
His tone was filled with anger towards the Red Sand Scorpion.
The Red Sand Scorpion didn't take it seriously.
He controlled the puppet of the Third Kazekage, used Magnetic Release Sand Iron, and spread out the wings formed by the gathering of sand iron behind his back.
He jumped onto his back.
Anyway, the puppets of the Third Kazekage have been taken out.
It's better to just sit with him and leave here.
Of course, against the incompetent Luo Sha, Red Sand Scorpion did not choose to do the last hit, nor did it let Deidara do the last hit.
He didn't really want to kill Luo Sha.
After all, the most scarce thing in Sunagakure Village now is genius.
If Luo Sha died.
It is estimated that only a loser like Maki can be a Kazekage.
But he didn't tell Deidara what he thought.
He just said lightly, "This guy has been poisoned by me and will die soon."
"Leave him here to fend for himself."
"Okay, okay." Deidara nodded, feeling that the Red Sand Scorpion had said so, and there was no need for him to question it.
If it hadn't been for the poisonous needle of the Red Sand Scorpion that hit Luo Sha's shoulder.
The battle won't end so quickly.
Thinking of this, Deidara controlled the big clay bird to flap its wings, and with its huge claws, he grasped the unconscious Gaara steadily and flew into the air in one breath.
Gaara has been captured...
The next step is to report the matter to leader Payne.
The Red Sand Scorpion didn't stay much longer.
He sat on the Third Kazekage and flew to the same height as the clay bird.
Left here together.
From the corner of Luo Sha's eyes, he could even see the two of them taking Gaara further and further away.
Watching the man who everyone calls the strongest Kazekage become the flying tool of the Red Sand Scorpion.
Luo Sha also became furious in her heart.
However, now, he could do nothing but watch the Red Sand Scorpion leave.
Just keeping himself awake consumed his willpower.
"I can't sleep yet..."
Luo Sha gritted her teeth.
Even though he couldn't move his hands and feet and his body was in unbearable pain, he still tried his best to stay awake.
He is the only one who knows what the Red Sand Scorpion has done.
He was also the only one who knew they had taken Gaara.
No matter what, he must pass this information to the ninjas in the village.
The only thing he could do now was to hope that the ninjas in the village would come here quickly.
before losing consciousness.
at the same time.
Makki, the elite jounin of Sand Hidden Village, followed Luo Sha's instructions and evacuated the people of Sand Hidden Village and brought them to a safe area.
He also organized the Jonin of Sunagakure Village and built defense fortifications.
Use this to face Gaara's rampage.
In addition, it was not the first time that Gaara went berserk.
These jounin have already had experience in dealing with it.
In a short time, under the leadership of Ma Ji, they completed all the work.
Then, Marki called over seven or eight jounin.
Let them follow you to the explosion site.
On one side was Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage whom he respected.
On one side is his student Gaara.
Marki didn't want to stay here and wait for death.
The Jonin of Sunagakure Village also responded to Maki's decision.
soon……
Ma Ji took the improvised troops and rushed to the explosion site.
However, the closer he got to the target location, the more intense uneasiness he felt in Marky's heart.
Whether it's Gaara or Rasa.
Both of them are masters of magnetic escape.
Once the battle begins, the scene will undoubtedly become quite grand.
But now...
Markey did not see the grand scene in his impression, nor did he hear any sounds.
Even the mushroom cloud that Deidara set off with c4 Garuda gradually subsided over time.
The firelight was much dimmer than before.
The darkness of night engulfs the earth again.
The visibility of Marki's field of vision began to deteriorate, and the surrounding environment became quite quiet.
It was so quiet that he could hear his own breathing and his own heartbeat clearly.
And it brings a bit of hot wind.
But if the battle is over, why hasn't Kazekage Rasa returned to the village for so long?
Details such as this really make Markey less optimistic.
"Everyone, please work harder."
Marky gritted his teeth, simply stopped conserving his physical strength, and increased his running speed crazily.
The other ninjas glanced at each other, exchanging glances.
Although they are not as good as Markey, they can still feel the sense of disobedience in the air.
For a time, the running speed of the entire ninja army increased crazily.
It took about twenty minutes for Ma Ji to lead a group of people to the place where Luo Sha fought with the Red Sand Scorpion.
With the help of the firelight that has not completely dissipated, and the light of the bright moon falling in the sky.
Only then did Marki see the situation here clearly.
Except for the placer gold in Luosha.
There is black sand iron everywhere.
"This is……"
Ma Ji hurriedly walked to a place where sand iron and gold were mixed, leaned down, and grabbed a handful of sand iron.
In an instant, his pupils began to tremble crazily.
As the elite Jonin of Sunagakure Village, Maki's qualifications are not lacking.
Before Rasa came to power, he had been with the Third Kazekage.
We know that the third Kazekage became the strongest Kazekage in history by virtue of his ability to control sand and iron.
He never dreamed that he would see the Third Kazekage's sand iron here again.
"The Third Kazekage-sama is back?!"
Marky rolled his throat and swallowed nervously, while a bold idea came to his mind.
That is the long-lost Third Kazekage, back.
But even so, his rational side still sensed something was wrong.
The sand iron of the Third Kazekage and the sand gold of Luo Sha are mixed together, making them indistinguishable from each other.
With strong traces of battle.
"Master Marki, come here quickly!"
Just when Marki felt incredible, the voice of a jounin entered his ear canal.
In fact, when Ma Ji was studying Sunata, other ninjas in Sunagakure Village had already launched a search.
When they noticed Luo Sha lying on the ground, almost fainting, they were shocked.
"What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Ji temporarily dropped the iron sand in his hand, turned around and ran towards Luo Sha's location.
When he saw Luo Sha, who was extremely weak, he felt like he had been given a slap in the face.
"Wind, Lord Kazekage?!"
Even Ma Ji's voice was a little trembling.
He almost flew towards Luo Sha.
He took off the kettle from his body, unscrewed the lid, asked someone to help Luo Sha sit up, and gave Luo Sha a sip of water himself.
"What happened, Kazekage-sama?!"
Marky asked nervously.
"Ma, Ma Ji..." After Luo Sha took a sip of water, she felt better, but it was just better.
He didn't know how long his condition could last.
He quickly stopped others from taking him back to the village for treatment.
The hospital in the village is at least twenty minutes away from here.
He didn't feel at all that his sobriety would last until that time.
"listen to me……"
Luo Sha spoke intermittently, letting Ma Ji listen carefully to what she was going to say next.
Although he didn't know what happened, Ma Ji saw unprecedented determination in Luo Sha's eyes.
"Say it, Lord Kazekage." Ma Ji nodded, indicating that he would remember his words firmly.
"Yes, it's the Red Sand Scorpion..."
"He united with the rebel ninjas of Iwagakure Village and took Gaara away..."
When Ma Ji heard the long-lost name of Red Sand Scorpion, his brain just felt a buzzing sound.
The genius puppet master who had been missing from the village for who knows how many years is back!
Moreover, he did not come back alone.
"Joined the rebel ninjas of Iwagakure and kidnapped Gaara?!"
"What does he want to do?"
Gaara may be a very scary monster in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Maji, he is his very good student.
What's more, Gaara is still the most important Jinchuuriki in the village.
Now when he heard the news that he was kidnapped by the Red Sand Scorpion, Ma Ji also felt his scalp numb.
No……
It's not just Markey.
All the Jonin who gathered around him and Luo Sha also felt their scalps numb at this time.
Can't believe what I'm hearing.
But how could Luo Sha, who was so weak, use such a thing to deceive them?
Luo Sha shook his head slightly.
He didn't know the Red Sand Scorpion or Deidara's purpose.
He asked the other party, but the other party did not answer.
"besides……"
"The disappearance of the Third Kazekage-sama back then..."
"It's not a disappearance at all."
"It's Scorpion. It's that guy Scorpion who assassinated the Third Kazekage."
"And made the Third Kazekage into a human, human puppet..."
Luo Sha's words immediately caused an uproar.
Every ninja, including Marky, couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock.
His mouth couldn't help but open into a big "oh" shape.
If Luo Sha hadn't told the truth, no one would have thought that the disappearance of the Third Kazekage would have been made into a human puppet by the Red Sand Scorpion!
Thinking of this, Ma Ji turned his head and looked at the sand iron he had discovered before.
At this moment, he understood it all.
Why is there sand iron from the Third Kazekage here?
Why is the Sand Iron of the Third Kazekage mixed with the Sand Gold of Rasa?
All of this is because of that guy, the Red Sand Scorpion!
"hateful!"
In anger, Ma Ji clenched his fists and smashed the sand under his feet.
Marky was so angry that he even bit his lower lip.
Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Damn Scorpion, not only did he murder the Third Kazekage-sama, but he also took action against Rasa-sama. I won't let him go!"
"Lord Luo Sha, where did that defector go? I'm going to chase him now!"
"Yes, we must not let him go."
"And Gaara-sama, we must also take it back from Scorpion's hands!"
The sand ninjas gathered around Luo Sha couldn't help but start talking.
Underneath the unprecedented shock was intense indignation.
Everyone can't help but gear up.
It seems that I can only get a direction from Luo Sha.
They will pursue it non-stop.
Only Markey remained rational.
Although his emotional side is similar to that of everyone else, he wants to tear the Red Sand Scorpion into pieces, but the Red Sand Scorpion itself is the genius puppet master of Sand Hidden Village.
He was once regarded as his successor by the Third Kazekage.
He is undoubtedly a very powerful person.
Now the Red Sand Scorpion has another human puppet, the Third Kazekage.
His strength will definitely increase to a higher level.
Luo Sha's fiasco may be the best example.
"No, no..."
Seeing that his subordinates were so indignant, Luo Sha also quickly used the Feng Ying command to stop them.
Having fought against Deidara, the Red Sand Scorpion, he knew very well how strong the opponent was.
If you just chase it like this.
I'm just afraid that the entire army will be annihilated.
By then, the Sunagakure Village, which has lost the Kazekage and Jinchūriki, will fall into greater chaos and become precarious.
Gaara wants to get him back, but he can't let Sunagakure Village suffer any further attrition.
"With your strength, Gen, you are no match for Xie..."
Luo Sha gritted his teeth, feeling that his brain was starting to become drowsy.
However, he still thought of a way.
He took a breath, his eyes suddenly became a little brighter, and the hand that he couldn't lift originally grabbed Marky's wrist.
It's like a flashback.
"Master Kazekage." Ma Ji was startled.
"Ask Konoha for help..."
"We are still allies. As long as we pay, they will not sit idly by."
"No……"
"The only ones we can rely on now are them."
He confided the information about the red sand scorpion, Deidara, to Maki.
He also gave the order not to pursue.
And after asking for help from Konoha for a solution.
The tight string in Luo Sha's heart suddenly broke.
Unprecedented tiredness came like a tide, washing over Luo Sha's brain.
His five fingers lost their strength first, and he let go of Ma Ji's wrist.
His eyelids gradually drooped and he closed his eyes.
He tilted his head and stopped talking.
The weak breath exhaled from his nostrils almost became proof that he was still alive.
"Kazekage-sama!"
"Kazekage-sama!"
Seeing Luo Sha unconscious, all the Sand ninjas felt a bolt from the blue.
At the critical moment, Markey made a decisive decision.
He ordered one of the fastest ninjas to carry Luo Sha on his back.
"Hurry, take Master Luosha and return to the hospital in Sunagakure Village!"
And this sand ninja didn't say anything. After picking up Luo Sha, he ran towards the village as fast as he could.
Markey and others followed suit.
He tried his best to control his emotions so that he could stay calm.
"Scorpion of red sand..."
But even so, Ma Ji still felt angry towards the Red Sand Scorpion in his heart.
He entered the Sand Ninja School at about the same time as the Red Sand Scorpion.
There is only one year difference in age.
He didn't know anything about this talented puppet master.
In addition to his genius in the field of puppets, he is also quite outstanding in the fields of drug production and institutions.
And I just checked Luo Sha's body.
Except for the stab wound on his left shoulder, there were no serious injuries.
The location where he was stabbed was not an important artery.
Logically speaking, an injury of this degree would not have much impact at all.
After thinking about it, there is only one possibility that can explain this truth.
That means Luo Sha has been poisoned by the Red Sand Scorpion.
This is the most troublesome point.
If we can't find out what kind of poison the Red Sand Scorpion is poisoning, we won't be able to create a cureable antidote.
"Can we only place our hope in Konoha Village?"
Marky couldn't help but clenched his fists. An unprecedented sense of helplessness and powerlessness pressed on his shoulders.
It made him realize his weakness for the first time.
But he also understood that it was too late to proceed.
So he immediately called a sand ninja with excellent endurance and asked him to go to Konoha Village.
Ask for Konoha's help.
"Now, the only people who can help us recover Gaara are the ninjas of Konoha."
Markey said.
"Yes!" The sand ninja who was entrusted with the important task nodded his head and said that he would definitely fulfill his mission.
certainly……
Although Kazekage Rasa told Ma Ji not to send anyone to chase the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara.
In order to avoid a large number of casualties in Sunagakure Village.
But in Markey's opinion.
Whether to pursue or not, and whether to investigate or not are completely different things.
If the whereabouts and whereabouts of the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara cannot be determined.
Even if Konoha agrees to assist, they may not be able to find the Red Sand Scorpion.
Thus missing the best rescue time.
"After all, we still can't confirm whether the Red Sand Scorpion needs Gaara or Shukaku in his body..."
Marky couldn't help but think to himself.
If all the Red Sand Scorpion needs is Shukaku.
Then he would most likely pull the tailed beast out of Gaara's body.
Once the tailed beast is lost.
That Jinchuuriki will only have one end.
die.
at the same time.
The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.
Naturally, Zefeng knew nothing about the actions of the Akatsuki organization and what happened to Sand Hidden Village.
After controlling Kyuubi Chakra and defeating Kakuzu and Hidan, Zephyr returned to the village with Qing and Tenzo.
War was officially declared on the Kingdom of Thunder.
He also handed over command of the battlefield to Uchiha Kiyoshi.
I hope he can become the hero of Konoha who conquers the Land of Thunder.
In this way, Uchiha Kiyoshi can be promoted as the famous name of the Kingdom of Thunder.
but……
The daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder, however, asked to negotiate with Zephyr.
Obviously he didn't want to accept Zephyr's declaration of war.
To this end, the daimyo also specifically contacted Mifune, the general of the Iron Kingdom.
Hope he can help.
Let Zephyr sit at the negotiating table.
Although Zefeng didn't like the name of the Land of Thunder, the trade cooperation with Mifune was very harmonious.
He simply accepted the request of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder.
Moreover, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.
Coordination and other things also take some time.
So the two sides set the final negotiation for a week later.
Held in the Iron Country.
The day after the Akatsuki organization launched an operation and successfully captured Gaara.
The seventh team, assigned by Ze Feng, returned in triumph.
Not only did he bring back the pair of Zabuza and Haku.
He also helped Dazna complete the construction of the bridge.
The key is……
Namikaze Minato worked together with Tatsuna and the people who were oppressed by Cardo.
Cardo was successfully overthrown.
Not only did this evil businessman who monopolized maritime transportation be sent to the gallows.
Namikaze Minato also sorted out Cardo's assets.
Except for some real estate left to the local Dazuna, all transferable assets were converted into money by Minato Namikaze.
A full one billion taels.
It is undoubtedly an exaggerated astronomical figure.
As soon as I heard the news that the seventh team returned to the village.
Zephyr also rushed to the Hokage's office immediately and received them very warmly.
for these tasks.
Zefeng also paid Minato Namikaze with the highest standard of S-level.
A total of two million taels.
As for the one billion ryo that Namikaze Minato brought back.
Naturally, they were all confiscated.
Used for the construction of Konoha.
Naturally, Namikaze Minato had no objections.
He believed that Hefeng could use this asset in the right way.
In fact, Zefeng has no interest in money.
However, when sorting out Cardo's assets, Naruto and Sasuke also saw the money.
Two million taels, divided among four people.
Each person only got 500,000 taels.
Compare that to the sky-high price of one billion.
It also made Naruto unable to stop complaining.
"Obviously I helped Brother Hefeng make so much money, but in the end he only gave us this small amount..."
But Naruto was just complaining.
I still feel happy in my heart.
Anyway, I don’t need that kind of money.
Relative to spending endless money.
Perform missions, fight against strong players, and improve your own strength.
This was the part that Naruto cared about most.
that's all……
Zefeng verbally praised the performance of Naruto and others in the office.
Then let them go back and have a good rest.
After all, they had been busy for many days on this mission.
But for Naruto and Sasuke, they are quite energetic.
Why would you want to go back and rest?
They would rather get on with the mission.
Especially Sasuke.
If you want to be promoted to Chunin, you must take the Chunin Exam.
The prerequisite for taking the Chunin Exam is to complete eight missions.
He didn't want to waste his time on meaningless rest.
Seeing Sasuke's persistence, Naruto's fighting spirit was also inspired.
On the contrary, Xianglin chose to accept the situation.
Therefore, Hefeng had no choice but to find a C-level task and leave it to Team 7 to handle.
It is worth mentioning that……
Because the Konoha Police Department has put forward the slogan that if you have difficulties, go to the police department, so D-level, C-level and other tasks in the village are entrusted.
For tasks such as retrieving lost pet cats, villagers will ask the staff of the police department.
As a result, if the ninjas of Konoha want to accept commissions, they can only accept missions from other areas of the Land of Fire, or from other countries.
The cycle time to complete the task will also be extended due to external factors.
This is also the reason why Sasuke is anxious.
After sending Team 7 away with tasks, only the demon Zabuza and his so-called tool man, Shiro, were left in Zefeng's office.
However, seeing such a young and approachable Kazuya, Zabuza still felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart.
