"Make preparations in advance?" Deidara was startled, somewhat not understanding Su's words. "Hehe, you'll know soon enough. Just treat it as an outdoor trip, but for now, we need to first snatch the Earth Scroll," Su said lightly.
As they spoke, the three figures moved quickly, leaping forward through the forest, and soon disappeared into the dim, sunless woods.
Time passed quite quickly. Half a day went by in no time, roughly one-tenth of the total time. At this point, the three of them were still moving rapidly, but Su had already closed his eyes, forming a hand seal. A powerful sensory ability instantly permeated.
"Lord Sakurakage is actually a sensory ninja?" Seeing Su's actions, Junko Takeuchi was startled, looking at Su in astonishment. "Hmph, you don't need to be so surprised. I only found out about it not long ago myself," Deidara said, shrugging.
"It's an innate awakened ability, inherited from my mother." Su said emotionlessly with his eyes closed. Just then, Su suddenly opened his eyes and said to the two beside him, "There are two small teams at twelve o'clock to the east. Let's go over there and get the Earth Scroll first."
"Mm." The two nodded, then quickly followed Su in that direction. Not far ahead, two teams of ninjas had just encountered each other. They were Gaara's team of three from the Sand Village and a pair of ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village.
"Hehehe, so they're the little brats from the Sand Village, huh? Hand over your scrolls, and we can spare your lives!!!" The gloomy leader, the one in the middle of the three Rain Village ninjas, spoke.
The ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village were dressed rather strangely. They were completely cloaked in raincoats, with a rain umbrella on their backs, wrapping themselves tightly and appearing somewhat mysterious.
"Hehe, three fools who don't know what's good for them." Kankuro coldly chuckled, looking at the three Rain Ninjas opposite him. Temari had the same expression. In their eyes, these three Rain Ninjas were already dead.
Gaara stood with his hands crossed over his chest, his face emotionless, his eyes coldly fixed on the three Rain Ninjas opposite him. His whole body exuded a strong murderous aura and killing intent. The three Rain Ninjas felt—
—the aura from Gaara's body and their faces instantly changed. "Careful!!! This little brat isn't an ordinary guy!!!" A ninja from behind spoke to the ninjas in front.
"I understand!!!" The leading Rain Ninja instantly swallowed hard, regretting the big words he had just spoken. At this moment, Gaara suddenly spoke coldly:
"Since you're already here, then don't leave!"
"What a joke!!! You stinky brat!!!!" That Rain Ninja immediately became furious upon hearing Gaara's words. Being looked down upon by someone younger than him was unbearable. He fiercely pulled out the rain umbrella from his back, then threw the umbrella into the sky. He formed hand seals and shouted, "Die!!! Rain Fall, Thousand Needles!!!!"
The rain umbrella vigorously opened in the air and rapidly spun. "Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!" Countless senbon, shimmering with cold light, shot out fiercely from the umbrella, covering the sky and earth as they flew towards Gaara below. "Go to hell!!!" The Rain Ninja shouted ferociously.
"Thud!!!! Thud!!!! Thud!!!!"
A huge sound echoed. Countless senbon pierced the earth, stirring up countless dust clouds. "Hoo, he must be dead now." That Rain Ninja said, panting heavily. The two Rain Ninjas behind him also inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. Even if one wasn't killed by such an attack, they would at least be crippled.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed. Gaara stood in place, completely unharmed, his footsteps not even having moved. In front of him, a barrier made of sand had appeared at some unknown point. Except for the senbon that had shot into the ground, all the other senbon were blocked by the sand wall.
"This, how is this possible!!! My attack actually..." The Rain Ninja looked at Gaara, who was completely unharmed, in shock. Feeling the thick murderous aura emanating from Gaara's body, his face instantly changed dramatically, and his legs couldn't help but start trembling. "Is that all you can do?" Gaara said coldly, then extended his palm and aimed at that Rain Ninja. "Sand Shuriken!!!!" "Crush!!!!" Countless grains of sand surged into the sky, instantly wrapping that Rain Ninja tightly, forming an oval cocoon, wildly squeezing him. Then, it slowly ascended into the sky. "No, don't!!!!" The Rain Ninja's face was pale and bloodless with immense fear, but his entire body was already tightly bound by sand, unable to move. "Sand Burial!!!!"
Gaara clenched his five fingers fiercely. "CRUSH!!!!" With a mighty roar, countless grains of sand mixed with fresh blood rained down from the sky. The Rain Ninja's body had disappeared, turning into a rain of blood. Gaara opened that Rain Ninja's umbrella, blocking the blood raining down from the sky, his face showing no change. "Ah!!!!" The remaining two Rain Ninjas instantly turned pale with fright, their bodies trembling constantly. Under Gaara's chilling gaze, they dared not move at all. A scroll stained with fresh blood—
—fell from the sky, landing on the ground. It was the Earth Scroll.
"Good, so terrifying!!!" Kiba, Shino, and Hinata, hiding in the nearby bushes, watched Gaara's cruel killing methods and instantly turned pale, trembling all over. "Even the bugs are afraid?" Shino's tone fluctuated for the first time, and Akamaru was trembling in Kiba's arms.
"A fool who doesn't know what's good for him, actually dared to provoke Gaara." Kankuro chuckled coldly, looking at the Earth Scroll on the ground, his face—
—instantly showed joy. He quickly walked forward. "My luck is really good; I found the Earth Scroll so quickly."
However, at this moment, a hand suddenly appeared in Kankuro's line of sight, picking up the Earth Scroll from the ground. "What!!!" Kankuro's face instantly changed dramatically, becoming very ugly. "Not bad luck, huh? Got the Earth Scroll right away. Looks like I don't need to waste much effort hunting other mice, hmm." Deidara tossed the Earth Scroll in his hand, muttering to himself, clearly not putting Kankuro, who was not far away, in his eyes at all.
"Hmph!!!!" Temari and Gaara's expressions also changed drastically. They hadn't noticed that there were other people around. "You bastard!!! Are you looking for death!!!?" Kankuro looked at Deidara's movements and instantly grew furious...
