In any case, the huge Sunagakure Village is one of the five great ninja villages.
Even if Kazekage Rasa falls, there are still many ninjas in Sunagakure Village.
One ninja team after another was sent out, and even the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara couldn't completely solve it.
It's like a mosquito in the house.
No matter how many are killed, new ones will always appear.
Endless.
Even if the attrition situation that Luo Sha was worried about would happen, Ma Ji still made this judgment.
They must bite the red sand scorpion firmly and never let go.
And thanks to Markey’s judgment.
After Namikaze Minato led Team 7 to Sunagakure Village, they were completely helpless.
An elite Jonin named Youlong took the initiative to lead the way.
In addition, there were three jounin accompanying Namikaze Minato and his team.
It took about a day or so, and Namikaze Minato, led by Yuryu, arrived at one of the few forests in the Kingdom of Wind.
Yuryu also explained the situation to Namikaze Minato.
He pointed to a cave that was completely sealed by huge rocks, "Since the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara went in there, they have never come out again."
"And after investigation, there are no other cave entrances in other areas of the mountain."
"In other words, there is only one entrance here."
You Long said that when they tracked it here, the cave had not been sealed yet.
In addition, he found no other entrances and exits that could leave the cave, so he speculated that the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara were most likely hiding in the cave.
"Have you never left?" Sasuke's eyes narrowed into a slit after hearing the information Yu Long had.
He carefully observed the boulders blocking the cave.
With the excellent vision of the Sharingan, Sasuke clearly saw that there seemed to be something stuck to the center of the boulder.
"Yes." You Long nodded, "After we followed the Red Sand Scorpion here, we have been staying here."
"In order to avoid alerting others, we never got close to it."
However, Yulong had no idea whether the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara were still in the cave.
First, they were worried that they would alert the enemy, so they never dared to approach there.
Secondly, I thought that the other party was the Red Sand Scorpion who made the strongest Kazekage in history into a human puppet.
Few dared to attempt to destroy the boulder.
"Because, once the Red Sand Scorpions are there and we approach them rashly."
"Then we will definitely be killed by each other."
Just saying these words, You Long's tone couldn't help but become a little trembling.
There was even a drop of sweat on his forehead, streaking across his cheek.
Hit the ground.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m too nervous or because of the hot weather.
At this time, You Long's back was already soaked in large amounts of cold sweat.
But even so, Yuryu still emphasized one point to Namikaze Minato.
"It's not that we are afraid of death and don't dare to go close there."
"We just worry that our sacrifice is for nothing."
In Youlong's view, there is nothing difficult about approaching there. Anyone who is prepared can do it.
But once you get close there, there is a risk of exposure.
There will be a possibility of confrontation with the Red Sand Scorpion.
And with their strength, they might be completely wiped out.
If the Crimson Sand Scorpion and Deidara took advantage of the chaos and left, then the clues for the Hidden Sand Village to track them down would be broken.
But Minato Namikaze didn't seem to care much about Yuryu's explanation.
He just looked at the boulder blocking the cave.
Although he does not have the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, his insight ability has always been good.
Soon, he saw that the thing attached to the boulder was the core of the barrier.
From the core of this barrier, Namikaze Minato could even feel the flow of chakra.
This shows that the barrier is very well preserved.
If the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara had left, the barrier shouldn't have been preserved so well.
Suddenly, Namikaze Minato remembered.
Zephyr once told him that the Akatsuki organization's method of sealing tailed beasts was different from theirs.
The Akatsuki organization does not seal tailed beasts into human containers, but uses other things as sealing containers.
This causes them to take a long time to complete the seal.
Although Namikaze Minato didn't know where Zephyr got this information, he didn't think that Zephyr would deceive him.
"According to Zefeng's estimation, the Akatsuki organization will need at least four to five days to complete the seal."
"And the sealing process must not be interfered with by the outside world."
"The hidden cave is indeed an ideal environment."
"Plus the barriers set up."
"The Akatsuki organization is probably in that cave, carrying out the sealing ceremony."
Namikaze Minato quickly analyzed in his mind and felt that he was not far from the real answer.
Of course, Namikaze Minato doesn't need to rely entirely on guessing.
Because among the ninjas traveling with them, there was a very good perceptive ninja.
The sensing range can even cover a radius of about three kilometers.
The entrance to the cave was only one or two hundred meters away from them.
It was completely within the range of this ninja's perception.
"Xianglin."
Namikaze Minato called out Kaoru's name in a low voice, and at the same time, made a gesture to let her sense the situation behind the boulder.
"Yeah." When Xianglin heard this, she didn't ask any more questions. She was always used to being submissive in Class 7.
What's more, Namikaze Minato is still her captain.
Without any hesitation, Xianglin slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
The next second, the unique perception ability of the Uzumaki clan.
Kagura’s inner eye is fully open!
It is worth mentioning that although Xianglin has learned the Haki of seeing and hearing, the Haki of seeing and hearing is an ability that can only be activated in a calm state.
But when he thought about the enemy in the cave, it was the Akatsuki organization that was even more powerful than Kage.
And the opponent's goal is to collect Tailed Beast Jinchūriki like himself.
Xianglin's heart gradually became nervous.
but……
It doesn't matter.
Because just to make sure there is no one behind the cave, Kagura's inner eye can do the same!
soon……
Xianglin's perception ability passed through the huge stone that sealed the entrance of the cave and detected the situation inside.
Such a scene was naturally seen by the sand ninjas headed by You Long.
They all had their eyes widened in shock. They didn't expect that the most inconspicuous little girl following Minato Namikaze would be such a powerful sensory ninja.
"We are now at least a hundred or two hundred meters away from the cave entrance."
"And it's impossible for the other party to be standing at the entrance of the cave."
"The actual distance should be further."
You Long was secretly surprised in his heart.
With such excellent perception ability, few people in the entire Sand Hidden Village can match it.
After a while, Xianglin confirmed the situation behind the boulder.
But then, she took a deep breath of air, swayed back, and collapsed on the grass with a plop.
She did sense what was going on behind the boulder.
But she never imagined that there was someone with the same ability as her behind that huge rock.
Almost the moment he detected the other party, his Kagura Heart Eye was counterattacked by the other party.
and……
The other party's mental power is far stronger than his own.
At the moment of the confrontation, the man kicked her senses out of the cave.
Namikaze Minato, Naruto, and Sasuke all looked towards Kaoru subconsciously.
It was suddenly discovered that she was not just lying on the ground.
Bright red blood flowed from her nostrils and the corners of her mouth.
Obviously, Xianglin's brain was shocked!
"Teacher Zero..."
But Xiang Rin seemed to feel no pain. Before Namikaze Minato could ask about her condition, she was the first to answer, "There are not only people in that cave, but many people."
"No……"
"It's nine people."
"One of the chakras is very weak!"
Then, Xianglin looked to the bottom of the cave.
There is an ever-flowing stream.
"There are two more people there."
After being unable to breathe for a few short seconds, Xiang Rin's Kagura eyes couldn't help but gain insight into the situation inside the cave.
She also took the opportunity to check her surroundings.
There are eleven people in total!
"What?!"
When Youlong and Sand Ninja heard this, their eyes widened in shock.
Because from the time they discovered that the Red Sand Scorpion had entered the cave, until now, they have not discovered the existence of anyone else.
But now, Xianglin pointed out the real number of people on the other side.
Such things really shocked them.
"What kind of monsters are the genin of Konoha..."
You Long rolled his throat and swallowed in surprise.
First, Naruto punched the ground.
Now Xianglin shows off his sensory abilities.
I really don’t know what amazing abilities that kid from Konoha named Sasuke has.
However, it was a shock.
The terrifying display of this ninja team also deepened their confidence.
No matter what, now everyone is a ninja from the same camp.
In his heart, he wished that Team 7 of Konoha would become stronger as possible.
But Namikaze Minato no longer acted rashly.
He looked at Xianglin and praised her for doing a good job.
Then the information told by Xiang Lin was analyzed.
"First of all, there are nine people in the cave. One of them has weak chakra. That is probably the target we want to rescue this time."
"Gaara."
When Namikaze Minato deduced Gaara, Yuryu and others also tightened their expressions.
And Namikaze Minato's next words made them feel relieved.
"Then that also means Gaara is still alive."
Namikaze Minato's eyes narrowed slightly.
At the same time, this also means that the sealing ceremony should not be over yet.
Of course, judging from the weak chakra, although the seal is not over yet, it is probably coming to an end.
As for the two ninjas under the stream that Xianglin mentioned.
Most likely some kind of guard.
"In that case, there are eight opponents..."
Namikaze Minato frowned slightly.
The number of ninjas Xianglin discovered really surprised him.
You Long was also a little panicked.
The peace of mind that Gaara felt after knowing that Gaara was still alive was instantly gone.
That's right, if Gaara can't deal with the other party, even if Gaara is still alive, it will be of no use.
And if the other people on the other side have the terrifying strength of the Crimson Sand Scorpion.
Then their hope of rescuing Gaara would become very slim.
Not only that……
Sand Hidden Village is helpless against Rasa's poison.
Nanami didn't know how to make the antidote either.
The Red Sand Scorpion is also the hope to save Luo Sha.
Thinking of this, You Long couldn't help but become anxious.
It wouldn't be wrong to even say that he was completely helpless at the moment.
"Let me go and spy on the situation first."
Namikaze Minato thought for a while and decisively stood up from the grass.
He decided to take the risk and approach the boulder himself.
check it out.
First, Sasuke has the Flying Thunder God he left behind from before.
As long as he activates the Flying Thunder God Technique, he can return here instantly.
Secondly, he is not in a living state now, but a living dead in the state of reincarnation from the filthy earth.
Will not bleed.
Even if you are injured, you can heal yourself.
He is not afraid of the poison of the Red Sand Scorpion or other ninjas.
Based on these relationships, he is undoubtedly the most suitable ninja to be a little mouse.
Seeing that Naruto was reluctant, he wanted to go with him.
Namikaze Minato simply moved out of his identity as captain and ordered Naruto and others to stay here first.
Watching Namikaze Minato make a decision.
You Long and others suddenly became awe-inspiring.
Expressed gratitude to Namikaze Minato.
Then, Namikaze Minato took steps and walked towards the boulder.
at the same time……
Inside the cave.
The lantern bodies of Pain, Konan, Zetsu, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Uchiha and Obito Uchiha
There is also the red sand scorpion, Deidara.
At this moment, they were all standing inside the dark cave.
Only the colorful light produced by the slide can be used to distinguish each other.
They deliberately gathered together to form a circle.
And at the center of them was Gaara, who was defeated by Deidara and brought back here.
It's just that at this time, Gaara was completely unconscious, not to mention his consciousness, and his body was also in a floating state.
The chakra of the one-tailed beast was leaking out from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
With the help of Payne and others' Nine Magic Dragon Seal, it was sealed into the mouth of the heretic demon behind Payne.
So far, they have conducted the sealing ceremony here for two days and two nights.
Withdraw most of the One-Tail chakra from Gaara.
According to Pain's plan, as long as it lasts for another five or six hours, the tailed beast can be completely removed from Gaara's body.
But just now, Payne felt a sense of probing ability, crossing the barrier set by Deidara and going deep into the cave.
Before the other party could clearly see the situation here, Payne quickly activated the power of the Samsara Eye and drove the man out of here.
And caused heavy damage to his mental strength.
but……
From the opponent's ability, Payne...
No.
To be precise, it was Nagato who controlled Pain.
He felt something very familiar from the other party's ability.
"The Uzumaki Clan's Kagura Heart Eye..."
Nagato, who was controlling Pain, couldn't help but frown. He never dreamed that he would meet someone from the Uzumaki clan here.
"Is he the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki who was brought back to Konoha by Zephyr?"
Nagato tried hard to recall the information he had obtained in the past, and gradually felt uneasy in his heart.
The other party must have locked their position.
He and the others in the Akatsuki organization all used the magic of the lantern body to manifest themselves here.
Even if the boulder is broken by the opponent, it will not be able to harm them.
But the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara were trapped in this cave.
There is nowhere to escape.
The most important thing is that there are still five or six hours before the seal is completed.
He didn't think he could delay it for such a long time just by relying on the boulders and barriers.
"I thought that with Madara joining, the sealing ceremony would be over quickly, but unexpectedly, it was still a step too late."
Nagato complained secretly in his mind.
In fact, the addition of Obito has indeed greatly shortened the time for the Nine Sealings of the Phantom Dragon.
But in the final analysis, Namikaze Minato was still too fast.
Pain, who was sealing the tailed beast, slowly spoke and told the others what he had discovered.
"Konoha's support has arrived."
"And it's right outside the cave now."
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed.
Zetsu and Obito also didn't expect the other's speed to be so fast.
Konan's eyes became a little subtle when she looked at the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara.
People who join the Akatsuki organization have more or less flaws.
But even so, Xiaonan still treats them as true companions.
Konan will also feel sad when he learns that Kakuzu, Hidan, and Juzo died.
Now that she knew the enemy was approaching, she couldn't help but worry about the safety of the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara.
Kisame raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that this time, the situation is really bad."
Uchiha Itachi said nothing, but his eyes became a little deep.
Because he knew that the person chasing the Red Sand Scorpion this time was Konoha's seventh team, and his younger brother Sasuke happened to be a ninja from the seventh team.
Compared to the tailed beast, Uchiha Madara's plan.
After hearing the news, what he cared about most was Sasuke now.
"Huh, I'm just a Konoha ninja, there's nothing to worry about." The Red Sand Scorpion said without thinking.
Even if the other party discovers the location.
He wasn't worried at all.
Even the strongest Kazekage in history was made into a human puppet by himself.
Just a Konoha ninja.
Nothing to worry about at all.
"I can destroy even a country, let alone the ninjas of Konoha."
"Besides, the ones sent by the other party are only genin."
The Red Sand Scorpion showed disdain for the enemies outside the cave.
"After I have sealed Gaara, I will capture the remaining Jinchuuriki and seal them."
But Deidara's view was different from that of the Red Sand Scorpion.
"The sealing ceremony will take five or six hours at the fastest to end. That stone alone can't stop them, right? Hmm."
If it was just a fight, Deidara wouldn't be afraid.
But their current situation is a bit embarrassing.
After Deidara's reminder, the Red Sand Scorpion finally reacted.
Yes.
It would take them five or six hours at the fastest to complete the Nine Sealings of the Phantom Dragon.
Now, in order to maintain the seal, they have to stand here.
Unable to move.
The Red Sand Scorpion fell silent.
He looked at Payne, as if to say, since you are the leader of the Akatsuki organization, you should come up with a solution.
"It's not like there's nothing we can do."
Payne was silent for a while and expressed his thoughts.
And he glanced at Obito specifically.
Although Obito had just joined the Akatsuki organization as Fei, Payne knew his true identity.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little wary of Obito.
"The art of turning the elephant."
Payne explained to several people: "By dividing chakra into human sacrifices, you can create the same body as the original body."
"The strength of this same body can be determined based on the amount of chakra distributed."
"Not only can he use his own abilities and ninjutsu, but he can also copy his own ninja tools."
"The price is that when the Elephant Turning Technique is lifted, the sacrifice will also die."
Payne told everyone the principle of the Elephant Turn.
The implication is that he hopes that those present will allow himself to use the art of elephant rotation on them.
It would be best if you can repel the enemy.
If not, then hold on for at least five or six hours.
Although when the ninjutsu is lifted, the price of sacrifice will also be sacrificed, which is a bit cruel, but there is really no better countermeasure at the moment.
"Pen..."
Xiaonan on the side saw this and couldn't help but call out to Payne.
I hope he won't use his fellow Akatsuki members as pawns.
But how could Payne listen to Konan at this time.
He shook his head, indicating that he did not want to sacrifice his companions.
But for the great cause, someone has to stand up and sacrifice themselves.
If it's his turn, he won't have any hesitation.
"Then let me go."
Soon, Itachi's voice sounded in the darkness.
His eyes were firm and serious.
After hearing this, Pain turned to look at Itachi, their eyes facing each other.
"Really, if that's the case, then let me go. Who asked me to be a partner with Brother Itachi?"
Kisame on the side also said immediately.
Although he had just met Itachi not long ago, he was very interested in this man.
and……
Although he is just a new member of the Akatsuki organization, his will is stronger than most people.
Now that the organization is in trouble, I will naturally not sit back and ignore it.
Seeing Itachi and Kisame both standing up, Pain nodded.
Start to use the power of the Samsara Eye.
Used the art of turning like an elephant.
The people he used as sacrifices were the two men standing by the stream below the cave.
In order to ensure that the other party can be delayed for at least five or six hours.
Pain directly drained about 50% of the chakra from the two of them in one go.
Cover the sacrifice with it.
at the same time.
Namikaze Minato walked into the cave step by step.
Although he was in the state of reincarnation, he was still alert to his surroundings.
Especially the two Akatsuki members hiding in the stream below.
It has become a key target for Minato Namikaze to be wary of.
soon……
Namikaze Minato was getting closer and closer to the boulder.
The nerves of You Long and others are getting closer and closer.
Seeing that Namikaze Minato was less than twenty meters away from the cave, he suddenly knelt down on one knee, put his index finger and middle finger together and pressed them against the ground.
Xianglin is not the only one with the ability to perceive.
After approaching the cave, Minato Namikaze suddenly discovered that there were indeed nine people's chakras behind the boulder.
But once he sensed it carefully, he suddenly discovered that those chakras were somewhat different from real humans.
and……
He also noticed that the chakras of the two people hiding near the stream were changing rapidly.
"Um?"
This made Namikaze Minato frown.
