Chapter 253 Trap
Chapter 253 Trap
Battlefield in the Land of Stone.
This conflict between Iwagakure and Sunagakure could very well escalate into a major conflict between the two ninja villages.
Therefore, there are quite a few spies in the vicinity.
Asuma, Kakashi, and Tenzo, who had set off from Konoha earlier, also arrived nearby.
Furthermore, they have already found out that Sasori and Kakuzu intervened in the previous battle and drove Iwagakure away.
This time, the Jinchūriki of Iwagakure came in a big way, and many people saw it.
The Jinchūriki have been used; the battle situation has escalated.
In particular, after Yan Yin occupied the mine, he did not garrison it, but instead led more than 20 elites led by Han to begin the pursuit.
This means that Iwagakure's intentions went beyond simply scaring away Sunagakure.
However, the direction Han was tracking was not the people from Sunagakure.
Instead, it's Kakuzu and Sasori.
They separated from Sunagakure.
Because Deidara was always in the sky, the two who were slowly retreating had no idea who was tracking them.
"They're in the stone forest ahead. Hmm."
Deidara descended the giant clay bird and reported to Gobi Han.
They seem obedient, but in reality, they're setting a trap for Han to fall into.
Are you kidding me? Doesn't he know what kind of strength Brother Scorpion has? How dare this Han lead such a small group to chase after them?
It's like an old man eating poison; he's tired of living.
Han nodded in satisfaction. It wasn't that Iwagakure didn't have reconnaissance ninjas, but reconnaissance ninjas who could fly were really rare.
Furthermore, Deidara equipped himself with a miniature telescope, making him more than capable of being a reconnaissance ninja.
Although he's a carefree and irresponsible person, he's still quite useful.
Han said with satisfaction, "Next, you will go and investigate the movements of Sunagakure. If they come to provide support, you must report to them in advance."
Deidara waved his hand, not answering Han at all, and flew away on his clay giant bird.
Han was speechless when he saw Deidara like this. Oh well, let's get down to business.
Deidara, who had taken to the skies, did not fly very far.
He was in the sky near the Stone Forest.
Deidara looked on with curiosity: "I want to see just how strong you really are, you Jinchūriki."
"You actually dared to order me to let Brother Scorpion teach you a lesson, hmm."
In the Stone Forest.
Kakuzu and Sasori did not rest.
They had been monitored by Deidara before, and after hiding in the stone forest, Kakuzu immediately sent out his own Jigen-gyu to investigate.
"I'm back."
Kakuzu stood up, and a humanoid monster covered in black threads emerged from the ground.
It is precisely the resentment and anxiety of the land.
The Earth Grudge directly burrowed into Kakuzu's body and merged with him.
"It's Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. He only brought twenty men with him."
Kakuzu looked at Sasori: "What are your plans?"
Scorpion was already in a bad mood because he was tricked last time and lost a lot of puppets.
This time, the people of Iwagakure didn't chase after the people of Sunagakure, but instead chased after them, which made Sasori even more furious.
Scorpion pulled out a scroll from behind his back, on which was written the number "three".
"We can't leave unless we beat them hard enough."
As a veteran member of the Akatsuki organization, Kakuzu had partnered with Sasori several times, so he naturally knew what was inside the scroll.
He let out a muffled laugh: "So you've finally decided to use it?"
Aren't you worried that Sunagakure will find out?
Sasori didn't take Kakuzu's teasing to heart:
"Hmph, I've always been on Sunagakure's wanted list anyway, so it doesn't matter."
Kakuzu suspected that Sasori might have suffered some kind of trauma, but he didn't mention it.
"Then you can take the lead this time, and I'll assist you."
A cold glint flashed in Scorpion's eyes: "Then let's make some arrangements first."
……
When Han led the people of Yanyin to the vicinity of the Stone Forest, they stopped.
"Hmph, what a clumsy trap."
As a Jinchūriki, his senses are naturally very strong.
He had already discovered that a trap awaited him ahead, so naturally he wouldn't just walk right into it.
Han's chakra surged, and the head of the Five-Tails appeared behind him.
A small Tailed Beast Ball condensed in front of Han.
call out!
The Tailed Beast Ball flew out.
Boom!
The entire stone forest was instantly destroyed, leaving a huge crater in front of it.
Pebbles flew everywhere.
The two figures were fleeing rapidly forward, and soon they separated.
"Hmph, chase after them!"
After Han blasted the opponent out with a Tailed Beast Ball, he started the chase.
Moreover, the opponent's chakra reaction was much weaker, indicating that they were clearly injured.
Seeing that the two had separated, Han did not separate either, but instead chased after the side with less chakra reaction.
Han took the lead and, together with the elites behind him, chased after them.
Of course, with such a brave Jinchūriki, the other Iwagakure members were also very cautious.
One of them reached his hand into the ground, constantly sensing it.
This is to prevent the enemy from using earth magic to ambush them.
After all, they are from Iwagakure (Iwagakure Village). If they were ambushed by Earth Release techniques, they would be laughed out of the house.
The most crucial piece of information was that the other side had a ninja who was proficient in earth-style techniques.
The sensory ninja pulled his hand away and chased after them.
"Lord Han, it's safe. There are no signs of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of ambush) on the ground ahead."
Han sped up again after hearing this: "Alright, then I'll go ahead first."
Within just two minutes, the Hanhe team had already separated.
At that moment, a figure suddenly sprang out of the ground at the back of the group.
"Enemy attack!" the Iwagakure members immediately shouted.
They then quickly formed a formation.
Earth escape, Earth flow wall!
This is the most basic and fastest-acting ninjutsu in the Earth Release technique.
It's considered one of Iwagakure's signature skills.
Almost instantly, an earthen wall was erected in front of them.
However, the figure that flew out was only using one move of his hand.
On the ground where Iwagakure was located, the inconspicuous grains of sand immediately coalesced and flew rapidly toward Iwagakure.
"what!"
"careful!"
The attack happened suddenly; the Rock Village members had no idea that the gravel on the ground would form iron needles that attacked them.
Four of the twenty Hidden Rocks were successfully ambushed and killed on the spot.
Han was startled and prepared to retreat, but the man in front of him had already lifted his robe.
However, it is Kakuzu's wind attribute and water attribute earth resentment.
At this moment, both Earthly Grudges had already begun to accumulate energy.
Composite Ninja Art: Feng Shui Bomb!
A powerful water cannon shot out from the mouth of the water-attribute Earth Grudge, which was then pressurized by the wind-attribute Earth Grudge.
A barrage of water cannon fire hurtled rapidly toward Han.
"Roar!"
With a roar, Han raised his chakra to boiling point in one breath, and his steam armor suddenly spewed out a huge amount of steam.
Boil Release: Superhuman Strength
He stomped his foot hard on the ground, and the spot where he was standing immediately collapsed.
He ducked down, and countless water cannons flew over his head.
Meanwhile, the Hidden Stone Village here has just survived a sneak attack from Iron Needle.
Immediately, a figure flew over from the sky, with a huge iron sand wing on its body.
"The Third Kazekage!?"
Iwagakure was shocked. How could this be?!
The reason why the Third Kazekage is considered the strongest Kazekage is largely because he controlled the air.
There are no weak ninjas who can launch long-range attacks from the air (except for Sai, who draws).
