Chapter 117: Sand Golems
On the desert, there are occasional swarms of ants migrating, and wherever they pass, life is extinct and barren bones are mounds.
The only thing that can match the migration speed of the marching ants is the speed of the ninjas in the Sand Hidden Village.
The desert of the Land of the Wind is empty, and when viewed from a high place, the sand is densely packed, and wherever it passes, the wind blows, and the footprints quickly disappear into the sand and dust.
Unlike the shogunate's armies, ninjas marched quickly and generally carried the supplies they needed.
The sun is in the sky, the sun is scorching the earth, the sand in the distance is shining, and the people who are shaking are upset and irritable.
The place where the sand shinobi rests is an oasis with only a pond and a few trees. It was a water replenishment point to the north of the Windy Country, and a stop on their march, but now it was a resting place for the sand ninja.
The yellow sand is long, and there is no end in sight, and not all people can discern the direction in it, even the ninjas.
"Seatree-sama! Are we heading in the right direction? ”
Sand Shinobu asked with some uneasiness, after all, the landscape in the desert is changing too quickly. Although they have a lot of supplies, they will still be punished if they do not reach their target in time.
He stood up, looked around, and said, "This oasis has shrunk a lot, but it should be in the right place. ”
The environment in the Land of Winds is deteriorating, and with it is a decline in national strength. Decades ago, Sand Hidden Village was a great ninja village comparable to Konoha . However, over the years, the ninja world war has been repeatedly defeated by Konoha, coupled with the daimyo's disarmament orders, the strength of the Sand Hidden Village is getting worse day by day.
There was a sense of loneliness in Haishu's heart, but then it disappeared, and the mutation made him wake up.
Small hurricanes struck, swept through the sand, and disturbed the calm world. At first, all the sand shinobi thought it was natural. Ordinary people may be scared, but ninjas have quite a few ways to deal with such a terrible situation. Sand Shinobi has long been accustomed to fighting in the special environment of the Land of Winds. At present, many ninjas use earth escape ninjutsu to create artificially formed concave and convex walls to block the approaching wind and sand.
Sea trees stand on top of the earthen wall, observing the hurricane not far away. But then he noticed something abnormal, opened his eyes and took a closer look, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "This is an enemy attack, disperse quickly!" ”
No naturally occurring hurricane can travel at such an eerie angle.
Defending against hurricanes and defending against enemy attacks are two completely different concepts. For ninjas, the most terrifying thing in this world is not natural disasters, but their own kind.
The sand ninja that was curled up in the uneven wall like a mole suddenly dispersed.
The sea tree had never seen such a strange sight, the hurricane was swirling, and there seemed to be something in the middle, and there seemed to be a pair of hands in the sky, and with a slight wave, the hurricane split apart.
The sea tree finally saw what was in the midst of the hurricane?
Droplets of water lost their restraint as the hurricane dissipated in vain, and became the most terrible weapon of all.
The sand ninja hadn't scattered in all directions, but the water bombs like a series of cannons came one after another. Everywhere he passed, the uneven wall that Sand Shinobi had just made was smashed to pieces.
Many ninjas were injured, some were prostrate on the ground wailing, and some were directly unconscious. However, most of the sand ninja still maintain their combat ability despite varying degrees of color hanging on them.
"Who is it?"
As the hurricane dissipated, two figures floated in the air.
Sand Shinobi had never seen a ninja in such a strange costume, so they took out the shuriken in their hands and shot it into the sky.
It's just that before Sand Shinobi's shuriken was shot, the two figures in the air had already shattered.
"Did we succeed?"
Haishu wasn't sure, because in the attack just now, Sand Shinobi's shuriken was like a locust, but he didn't really touch the two figures.
Things were a little weird, and with a wave of his hand, several ninjas followed him, heading in the direction where the figure was shot down, only to get debris all over the ground.
"Puppet?"
Sand Shinobi's heart was full of doubts, how could that kind of distance be possible? Even the strongest puppeteer in Sand Hidden Village couldn't control a puppet at that distance.
This is beyond the limits of what the chakra line can reach!
"Can't these puppets withstand my chakra?"
The voice came softly, and Haishu only saw a man in a cloak walking over slowly, looking at the debris on the ground with some pity.
"Sure enough, the previous production process can't keep up with the trend?"
"Don't!"
The moment he saw the other party's face clearly, the ninja beside Haishu attacked decisively, and he didn't even have time to stop it.
Sea Tree didn't want to capture the Red Sand Scorpion. It's just that his performance just now is too weird, and it makes Haishu feel frightened.
It's okay to use a puppet at that exaggerated distance, but where is there a reason why a puppet can't withstand the master's chakra and disintegrates after only using ninjutsu once.
Bump.
The Red Sand Scorpion didn't even look up, and the ninjas who attacked him were knocked away one by one. Although there was nothing in the air, it was as if they had been whipped a few times, and the whole person flew upside down.
"Red Sand Scorpion, what exactly do you want to do?"
The Red Sand Scorpion's gaze stared at the debris on the ground, as if it was a little distressed, just like an adult man looking at a toy that he once loved so much.
"I'm just here to tell you that this road doesn't work!"
"You really colluded with Luyin Village!"
Haishu looked at the red sand scorpion and said viciously. Haishu has a deep affection for Sand Hidden Village, and he can't tolerate Sand Shinobi betraying his village.
Seatree was already ready, and he knew that the last thing a puppeteer was good at was melee combat. Therefore, he took advantage of the moment when the Red Sand Scorpion's defense was the most lax, and took the shuriken to bully him, wanting to solve him with physical skills.
Haishu is a ninja, and his physical skills are rare among the many ninjas in Sand Hidden Village.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that he hadn't approached yet, and between him and the Red Sand Scorpion, there seemed to be an invisible iron whip that struck it out fiercely.
"Immortal. Heartline! ”
Dozens of puppets appeared beside the Red Sand Scorpion, lifeless but lifelike.
"How is that possible? How could a puppeteer manipulate so many puppets! ”
These were the last words that Haishu said before he fell into a coma.
The Red Sand Scorpion was a little worried, not knowing if these puppets would be able to withstand his Immortal Chakra, so he said with some certainty.
"As long as you don't use ninjutsu that is too strong, there should be no problem with these puppets!"
The sand ninjas saw that dozens of figures in the air were attacking them, like the grim reaper of the apocalypse!
