Before Sakai could answer, the sand hidden village ninja on the ground had already removed the bandage wrap behind his back, and the thing inside instantly unfolded, and it turned out to be a strange humanoid puppet.

At the same time, the man took out a scroll and channeled another ant-type puppet.

Puppeteer!

Sakai was shocked in his heart, but what surprised Sakai even more was still to come.

I saw that this puppeteer used the chakra line to manipulate the puppet in his hand to fly directly to Sakai's side, and then the huge chest cavity opened, swallowing Sakai hanging on the stone wall directly into it, and then pulled Sakai and the puppet to the ground together.

As the puppet ascends, ghouls on both sides pounce on the puppet's body, trying to catch the puppet, but the puppeteer controls another humanoid puppet to interrupt the ghoul's attacks.

These puppets are like hanging puppets upside down, and they can move well even in the air, and ghouls can't help it.

Soon, the ant-type golem was manipulated back to the surface, and at the same time, the ribcage opened, and Sakai inside was spit out.

"You're the second ninja to emerge alive from the black ant's womb, although I took the initiative to release you this time."

The puppeteer's mind remembered that more than two years ago, in the final individual battle match of the Chunin Exam, he had fought against a person named Shino Oil Girl in Konoha Village, and in the end, the two sides were drawn.

At that time, it was clear that he had the upper hand, and the black ant had trapped the body of the oil girl Shino, but was escaped by Shino's insect stand-in technique.

Now that more than two years have passed, his puppet technique has improved a lot, and I believe that if the two meet again now, they will definitely not be as embarrassed as they were then.

And Sakai, who was squatting on the ground, didn't pay attention to the puppeteer's high show-off, but said lightly: "Why do the ninjas of the Sand Ninja Village appear here?" Isn't this the country of Kawanoku? ”

The puppeteer's eyebrows furrowed, originally he thought that the Konoha ninja in front of him would definitely not appreciate it, and then refuted his words with a hard mouth, but Sakai would not do this at all, but turned around and set up information.

"Hmph, didn't you, the Konoha ninja, also appear in the country of Kawanoku? Who are you to say about me? ”

"You don't want to infiltrate the borders of the Fire Nation and spy on it, do you?" Sakai's tone became even colder.

"Hey! Now that Konoha Village and Sand Hidden Village are allies, is it necessary for me to do so? ”

"It's hard to say."

"You guy, I just saved you! If I want to infiltrate the Fire Nation to spy on information, I'm sure I'll be killed! ”

“...”

Sakai didn't have a good impression of the Ninja of Sand Hidden Village, because Danzo-sama died in the middle ninja exam of the joint attack on Konoha Village by Sand Hidden Village and Orochimaru's Otokuin Village.

Although Sakai also knew that there was something else going on in this matter, the cause of all these incidents was ultimately inseparable from the conspiracy of the Sand Hidden Village against the Konoha Village, which led to the death of Shimura Danzo.

And Shimura Danzo is a tall existence like a master and a father to Sakai, and he is the most respected person in Sakai's heart, and there is no one.

In Sakai's heart, only Shimura Danzou is a true ninja.

On the other side, the puppeteer saw that Sakai was still frowning at him, and knew that Sakai's psychological vigilance against him had not been lifted.

After all, that kind of incident happened more than two years ago, and although the Sand Hidden Village and Konoha Village were reconciled after that, the mustard in the hearts of the ninjas on both sides still exists.

In order to eliminate this part of the mustard, the puppeteer took the initiative to introduce his identity.

"My name is Kankuro, and as you can see, I'm a ninja from Sand Hidden Village."

"I'm here to investigate those things."

As he spoke, Kankuro pointed to the ghouls crawling up under the metal mesh.

"These monsters, called ghouls, use the theft of corpses from graves as their main source of food, but occasionally hunt living people for food."

"We in Sand Hidden Village first discovered this kind of monster in the territory of the Land of Wind, so we sent a large number of Sand Ninja to track down the clues of the ghouls and clear them."

"I only heard in the Land of the Wind that a painter named Pittman often sketches in the graveyard of the Land of the Wind, so I guessed if this person would have clues about ghouls, so I came to this town in the Land of Kawano."

"But I had just entered the town when I heard an explosion, and I ran over to see you."

Kankuro's words gave Sakai a lot of information, such as that ghouls are not a "specialty" in the town of North Point in Kawanokuni, and that a large number of ghouls have also been found in the territory of the country of wind.

And the Sand Hidden Village is cleaning up these monsters.

"You'll never find Pittman."

"Because he's become a monster like these monsters."

Sakai spoke lightly, and Kankuro's eyes were only slightly surprised, but he didn't ask more questions, let alone exclaim.

Judging from Kankuro's calm attitude, Sakai judged that Kankuro should have known that humans would become ghouls.

While the two were talking, the ghouls underground had crawled through the breaches to the ground one by one, with metal mesh.

The ghouls were dancing in the moonlight, and their appearance was more real and terrifying than when they had been in the underground waters.

"Hey, Konoha ninja, since you're injured, let's go back and watch Uncle Ben clean up these monsters alone."

Kankuro operates a puppet on his left and right hands, and he has the posture of opening the bow left and right.

However, Sakai did not retreat, but pulled out a brush and scroll from his waist.

Looking at this Sakai's posture, it seems that he doesn't want Kankuro to be in the limelight alone, and he also wants to use his own unique ninjutsu to fight these ghouls.

"Super Beast Fake Painting!"

With a stroke of Sakai's pen, several lions flew out of Sakai's scroll and pounced on the ghoul.

Just now Sakai also wanted to use the super beast pseudo-painting, but the environment was really bad just now, and one of the weaknesses of the super beast pseudo-painting was that it could not be used at will in close combat.

Now that there was room for Sakai to pull, several lions were immediately drawn and several ghouls were thrown to the ground, with one of the largest lions even biting one on the waist.

Immediately after, Sakai continued to wave the brush in his hand.

"Super Beast Fake Painting!"

What flew out of the Sakai scroll this time was a huge ink-style bird.

Sakai rolled over and jumped on the bird's back, while the giant lion on the ground with a ghoul in its mouth also jumped on the bird's back.

"Let's go, birds."

In this way, Sakai rode away on a big bird, and the whole set of actions went smoothly, and it only took ten seconds before and after, leaving Kankuro in place with a confused face.

This guy... Did you really just leave?

Looking at Sakai, who gradually disappeared into the night sky, Kankuro's face was very bad, and the eyelid of his right eye couldn't help but tremble slightly.

But at this time, Kankuro didn't have time to scold Sakai for his unrighteousness, because the dozens of ghouls in front of him had already pounced on Kankuro.
