Chapter 421: Battle of Sand Village (2)

"Enemy attack!!!"

The shrill roar echoed throughout the Sand Village.

Be it the Sunagakure high-ranking officials, ordinary Sunagakure ninjas, or the civilians living in the Sunagakure Village, all were terrified and furious.

This is something I have never seen before!

It has been more than forty years since the ninja world entered the ninja village era. This is the first time that a ninja village at the level of the five major ninja villages has been attacked by ninjas from other villages!

Moreover, the people who raided their Sand Village did not participate in the last Ninja World War. They were from the Mist Village, which was "a million miles away" from their Sand Village and had nothing to do with them!

Even at this time, the Sand Village high-ranking officials, who had received accurate information from the Sand Village ninjas who had fought with the ground forces led by the Xiguashan Puffer Demon near the Yixiantian, were still somewhat incredulous.

"How did the Hidden Mist Village do it?" This thought kept lingering in the minds of the Sand Village leaders.

However, they no longer had the extra time to pay attention to this issue. It was no longer important how the Kirigakure ninjas managed to sneak past all the ninjas deployed by their Sand Village at various borders and quietly come to the front of their Sand Village.

The important thing is that the Kirigakure ninjas have indeed arrived and have already reached the gate of their Sand Village!

However, the next moment, they understood what the Hidden Mist Village relied on to be able to descend here silently...!

.........

The huge shadow created by the Angkor Fortress breaking through the clouds and descending, along with the surging waves caused by Yagura's full strength, fell from the sky and enveloped the Sand Village!

The ninjas in the Sand Village who were preparing to go to Yixiantian for support, as well as the Sand Village high-ranking officials who were "hiding" in the Kazekage Building, were stunned for a moment when they saw this outrageous scene.

It can be said that this is something most of them have never seen before...!

Only those veteran ninjas who had experienced the Warring States Period and the First Ninja World War, and witnessed the Second Hokage of Konoha Village, Tobirama Senju, and the First Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Byakuren, perform water-based ninjutsu on this scale, could have seen such a large scale.

And the huge fortress that can fly in the air is also known only by the ninjas who have heard of the existence of the Land of the Sky and experienced the incident of the Land of the Sky "challenging" the five major ninja villages.

However, there are only a few Sand Ninjas who have had these experiences and are still alive at this moment. Therefore, most of the young Sand Ninjas can't help but feel a sense of despair and powerlessness in their hearts.

After all, the top fighters of the Sand Village are not in the Sand Village at this moment!!!

They don't have the slightest confidence to face such a "terrible" enemy, even if the enemy has already entered their homes...!

However, the more critical the moment, the more likely it is that there will be "heroes" who step forward.

At the moment when the massive flood was about to crash into the Sand Village, a light shout that was somewhat cold and gentle overwhelmed the noise caused by the landing of Angkor Fortress and the roar brought by the flood. With the blessing of chakra, it resounded throughout the Sand Village...!

"Wind Escape·Empty Sand Barrier!!!"

Endless sand floated up from the ground and gathered above the Sand Village, completely covering the entire Sand Village. At the same time, it also received Yagura's attack.

Although the flood rushing down from the sky carried enormous kinetic energy and impact force, thanks to the fact that the Sand Village lacked everything except sand, especially sand with high mineral hardness, the "Air Sand Defense Wall" burst out with extraordinary defensive power, blocking the surging flood for nearly five seconds before it was finally broken through...!

But this is enough. After being blocked by the "empty sand defense wall", the power of the "Isofu Waterfall" has been reduced by 70% to 80%, not to mention that the sand has also absorbed a lot of water.

You know, the main threat of this move to the Sand Village comes from its extraordinary scale and the impact force accumulated from falling from a high altitude!

.........

"It's Lord Karura!!!" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed Sand Village ninja saw the figure with short sandy brown hair half-kneeling on a roof, breathing heavily, and shouted loudly that he had survived the disaster.

For a moment, the other Sand Village ninjas also burst into heated discussions after escaping death.

"Great! Lord Garura is here!"

"We're saved! As expected of Lord Karura!"

"Long live Lord Karura!"

It turned out that the one who had just blocked Yagura's attack was Karula, the wife of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

However, she was able to block Yagura's attack only because she took advantage of the Sand Village's geographical location, and her own strength was at best just that of an elite jonin.

Moreover, her "empty sand defense wall" that covered the entire Sand Village consumed nearly two-thirds of her chakra!

-----------------

(The original work does not specify whether Karula is a ninja, and the introduction of Karula in "The Book of Formations" does not mention this, but according to the conversation between Rasa and Gaara during the Fourth Ninja World War, it can be learned that the reason why Rasa automatically protects Gaara is not because of the One-Tailed Shukaku in Gaara's body, but the power of protection left by Gaara's mother Karula.)

(However, if he was able to leave the power of sand to protect Gaara, then at least Karura himself should be able to manipulate sand, and his strength should not be too weak.)
