Chapter 428: Battle of Sand Village (9)

"Call back Lord Mizukage! We have captured Karula, the wife of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa! The offensive on the battlefield is going smoothly! We expect that the Sand Village will be completely under our control within two hours!" After hearing this, Yagura gave a slightly cautious answer.

According to his estimation, with the help of the "God's perspective", the offensive of the Kirigakure ninjas in the Sand Village can be said to be unusually smooth. Not to mention that the ninjas from the Kirigakure who took part in the battle this time were at least special jonin, and there were even ten Kage-level strongmen!

Just looking at the strength of these "old, weak, sick and disabled" people who stayed behind in the Sand Village, plus at most a few elite Anbu members and some family ninjas secretly hidden by the ninja clan, it is simply impossible for them to resist the Mist Village for too long!

Therefore, Yagura was confident that he could lead a group of Kirigakure ninjas to quickly resolve the battle in a short period of time and completely "clean up" the interior of the Sand Village...!

However, when responding to Kiyoshi, Yagura still chose to play it safe. After all, the Sand Village is still the home ground of the Sand Village ninja. If he fails to get things done within the time he said, who knows how Kiyoshi will laugh at him when he returns to the village!

Therefore, Yagura postponed the time a little bit and asked Uzumaki Kana to reply to Seiji within two hours.

.........

While Yagura and Kana were talking, Konan and Yahiko, who were acting together, quickly approached here in a few jumps.

Yahiko was holding a bloody Sand Village Anbu in his hand, while Konan was holding a crying baby in her arms. It was Temari, Karuna's daughter who had just been sent away not long ago.

It turned out that after Karula's identity was recognized, Uzumaki Kana focused most of her attention on her. Therefore, Karula's arrangement of ordering the Anbu to send Temari to the rear was completely within Uzumaki Kana's perception and the Otsutsuki clan's disdain.

So, Yahiko and Konan, who happened to be not far from here, intercepted the Sand Village Anbu halfway to the shelter under the command of Uzumaki Kana, and with the tacit cooperation of the two, it took only a few rounds to beat the Sand Village Anbu half to death, and then the two brought the Sand Village Anbu and Temari here together.

"Lord Yagura! Lord Mizukage called back! He asked us to capture the Sand Village within an hour!" Kiyoshi's reply, relayed by Uzumaki Kana, echoed in Yagura's ears, "According to the latest intelligence! Konoha has learned of our actions! Lord Mizukage speculated that Konoha Village is likely to stop us from completely destroying the Sand Village!"

Yagura looked enlightened when he heard this. No wonder Kiyoshi limited the time to half an hour. It turned out that he was worried about possible interference from Konoha.

If the Konoha side gets involved, then they will have to be more fully prepared for their attack on Rasa, Chiyo, Ebizo and others who have come to support them. If they continue to follow the original plan and time, it is very likely that they will not be able to annihilate or capture all of Rasa and others, and some of them will slip through the net!

Therefore, Yagura immediately ordered all the Kirigakure ninjas to speed up the process and try their best to "clean up" the Sand Village and take complete control of the Sand Village as quickly as possible!

After all, only after the Sand Village is completely under the control of their Mist Village can they focus all their energy on dealing with the Sand Village elite led by Rasa who are coming back to reinforce the Sand Village!

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

On the other side, after a "Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm" attack severely injured three Sand Village puppeteers who were in ambush, Otsutsuki Mukai, with several Kirigakure jonin, had arrived near the Sand Village Hospital according to the location given by Uzumaki Kana.

Just when Tsutsuki Mukai and others were about to rush into the hospital and control all the Sand Village ninjas, they were greeted by several extremely high-temperature fireballs that distorted the nearby air!

"Scorch Escape: Over-Steaming Kill!!!"

The person who came was none other than the strongest man in the Sand Village today, a Kage-level warrior who was severely injured on the front line by Minato Namikaze and had to return to the village to recuperate, Ye Cang, who could perform the Scorch Release!

Although her injuries have not fully recovered, the strength she can mobilize while she is still in this injured state is still enough to stand above the Kage level. After all, she has mastered the bloodline limit of Scorch Release, which has extremely terrifying attack power!

Of course, Otsutsuki Mukai's strength is also not bad. Although he only gained the strength of a Kage after joining the Hidden Mist Village because Seiji released his "Bird in a Cage" curse and his Byakugan was purified, and he learned a lot of physical techniques belonging to the Otsutsuki clan brought back from the moon, combined with his mastery of the "Byakugan·Intimidation" eye technique, he barely possessed the strength of a Kage, and he is among the weakest Kages. However, he still has no problem beating an injured Yekura.

What's more, the senior ninjas brought by Otsutsuki Mukai are also full of talents!

.........

So, when the fireball was coming, one of the jonin who was wearing red glasses and had a blue mark on his face, who had been maintaining formation and following Otsutsuki Mukai into the Sand Village Hospital, quickly moved forward and appeared in front of Otsutsuki Mukai. He quickly formed the Zi-Mao-You seals. He was a jonin named Nakayoshi from the Mist Village's Meitun Fujiwara clan!

"Lord Mukai! Leave it to me!" Nakayoshi said calmly, while he stretched out his hands horizontally and aimed at the scorching fireball coming from the front.

"Underworld Release: Absorbing Holes!!!"

I saw a blue chakra vortex appear out of thin air in the palms of Zhongji's hands, and then accompanied by a strong suction force, the several burning fireballs were quickly absorbed by it.

And the blue chakra vortex was also dyed with a dazzling red color during this process...!

"Back to you!"

"Nether Escape: Evil Self-Destruction Battle!!!"

Along with Zhongji's low shout, surging blue-red flames were instantly released from his palms, and then rushed towards Ye Cang who was originally rushing towards him following the Scorch Fireball!

Otsutsuki Mukai, who was standing behind Nakayoshi, was suddenly enlightened when he saw this scene. He had heard of the rather mysterious bloodline limit of Mingtun that could absorb ninjutsu, but he had never seen it. After all, the Hidden Mist Village did not really participate in the last Ninja World War.

Moreover, what he didn't expect was that the effect of the Nether Release Kekkei would be so good that it could even absorb the Scorch Release which is also a Kekkei Genkai!

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

(Nakayoshi, a jonin from the Hidden Mist Village, first appeared in the theatrical version of "Inheritors of the Will of Fire" and possessed the Blood Limit of Darkness. However, when he appeared in the official plot later, his setting became a perception ninja with powerful perception abilities, and he could even easily sense the insects of the Aburame clan.)
