#463 - The purpose of attacking the Tailed Beast Knight

The scorching sun was burning the golden sand dunes. The flowing sand looked like gold foil. Amid the whistling wind, a team wearing yellow-brown cloaks were galloping on the soft and hot yellow sand.

The burly man in the lead looked towards his hometown in the distance, a hint of joy on his fleshy face.

He raised his hand and tightened the cloak that was burrowing in the sand. He silently promised the fat and bored raccoon cat in his consciousness space,

"Shukaku, when we get to Loulan, I'll treat you to my favorite snacks from childhood."

"snack!?"

Shukaku, who was lying on the ground with empty eyes, heard the word "snacks" and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his little eyes.

"Yes, Loulan's delicious wind snake is a famous delicacy. You must try it."

The salmon bean-like eyes narrowed slightly, as if savoring the taste of a delicious delicacy.

In fact, the so-called delicious wind snake is just a kind of desert flying lizard that lives near Loulan.

However, after experiencing the unique cooking methods of local residents, it has become a local delicacy suitable for all ages and is deeply loved by the residents of the Kingdom of Wind.

"Then hurry up!"

The greedy Shukaku was drooling after hearing this, and he urged the monk to hurry up, saying that he must have a taste of this magical delicacy.

"It's almost there. Once we pass over that hill, we'll be able to see Loulan."

Looking at the endless sand dunes in front of him, Shamen nodded confidently.

He knew every inch of his hometown so well that even with his eyes closed, he could run accurately from the Sand Village to the gate of Loulan.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Shukaku, who was salivating with desire, felt an inexplicable shudder, a throbbing sensation that came from the origin of his soul.

The two paws that were raised high with joy slowly lowered, and the big eyes like copper coins followed the inexplicable breath and pierced through the dust that was pitch dark, and landed on the highest hill in the distance.

"Wait a minute, Bald guy"

"Hey, I'll make sure you eat as much as you want later!"

Thinking that Shukaku wanted to bargain with him about the food, the monk, who was in sight of his home, waved his hand in a good mood and promised generously,

"Idiot, there are enemies!"

Shukaku wanted to jump up and knock on Shamon's shiny bald head to check if there was anything inside.

"enemy?"

Shamon frowned when he heard this. Now, he completely trusted Shukaku's words, so he stopped without any hesitation and raised his hand. The Sand Ninja Anbu following behind him also paused.

"Lord Kazekage?"

The captain of the Anbu team looked around vigilantly, but did not notice any unusual movements. He then stepped forward to ask in confusion.

The captain of the Anbu team also saw a blurry figure in the distance through the telescope he carried with him, but the other party was alone and did not seem to be planning an attack.

"You guys, go and investigate."

But out of consideration for Shamon's safety, the Anbu captain still ordered several capable subordinates to contact the strange figure first.

"yes!"

The few figures that were chosen jumped out of the team and rushed forward on the yellow sand.

"Bald guy, I don't feel good, let's run away."

As the time of discovering the strange figure increased, Shukaku felt a growing inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. The beast's instinctive radar beeped in his mind, warning him to stay away from that strange man.

“Is this true or false?”

Feeling Shukaku's genuine uneasiness, Shamon was slightly stunned. This fat raccoon cat was a character that dared to confront even the Nine-Tailed Fox. Could it be that he really had bad intentions?

"Wait a minute."

But his men had already sent people to investigate, so Shamen thought it would be better to wait and see.

After all, he still has the dignity of a strong man, so how could he flee from the battlefield without even seeing the enemy?

The Anbu who went to investigate soon arrived ten meters away from the black figure. They held weapons in their hands and watched the blockers with great vigilance.

Standing in front of them was a burly figure wrapped in a black cloak. The perception ninja among the few people probed up and down and found no trace of chakra on the other party, so he took courage and asked in a stern voice,

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The few people did not relax their vigilance just because the stranger in front of them had no chakra.

Because in this desert with no village in front and no shop behind, the appearance of an ordinary person is far more unreasonable than a well-equipped ninja team.

"Mission target found."

The figure being questioned slowly raised his head, and a hint of red light flashed through his black eyes under the cloak. He raised his two pale hands somewhat stiffly.

"what are you up to?"

Seeing the strange behavior of the stranger, several Anbu made a prompt decision. Adhering to the principle of rather killing by mistake than letting the stranger go, they tentatively threw out the kunai in their hands.

Whoosh——

Several pairs of eyes from the Anbu were fixed on the cold kunai, while they raised their hands to form a seal to prevent the opponent from attacking them.

The next second, they saw a flash before their eyes, and the black-robed man standing ten meters away disappeared from the spot.

"Set up the formation!"

Several people instantly stood back to back in alert, in a defensive posture. The perception-type ninja surrounded in the middle quickly closed his eyes, formed seals, and cast perception techniques to detect the opponent's whereabouts.

“Bang!”

But before he could extend his perception, he heard a few crisp sounds, and his head began to feel hotter.

The pungent smell of blood instantly filled his brain, and he opened his eyes immediately in shock. However, everything that happened before his eyes made him terrified.

"Everyone."

Several team members who were covering him were seen falling to the ground, their familiar faces were smashed into pieces by brutal force, their tattered heads were dripping with juice like a watermelon that had fallen to the ground.

In front of him, the black-robed man who had just disappeared was silently shaking his fists covered in red and white things, and his eyes hidden under the cloak were staring at him closely.

"you!"

Filled with grief and anger, the only surviving sensory ninja knew that he had no way out, so he pulled out his treasured detonating tag, ready to die together with his opponent.

“Bang!”

But unfortunately, the last image in his eyes was a dark red fist. His fragile skull was unable to withstand the attack of the powerful fist and exploded to pieces on the spot.

Like his dead teammates, the headless body of the sensing ninja twitched a few times and slowly fell backwards. The unactivated detonating tag in his hand was blown towards his distant hometown by the wind and sand.

"don't want!"

The massacre in the distance took only a few seconds. Before Shamen and the others could blink, the last perception ninja followed in the footsteps of his teammates.

The Sand Ninjas who witnessed all this felt their blood boiling. They drew their weapons and looked at the person who was in charge.

"Lord Kazekage!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Seeing his men being brutally slaughtered, Shamon, filled with remorse, ignored Shukaku's warning in his consciousness, waved his hand, and rushed towards the black shadow in the distance.

despair--

After landing, Shamen was too lazy to communicate with the other party. He would not waste words on such a guy who was an enemy at first sight.

He slammed his hands to the ground, and countless yellow sands gushed out instantly, rushing towards the black-robed man who was standing there.

"Sand-bound coffin!"

The yellow sand, which was given life by the magnetic escape technique, wrapped around the black-robed man like a poisonous snake. As the sand monk clenched his fist slightly, the restraints of the sand coffin also contracted.

"Just let me see who you really are!"

The monk who was controlling the sand coffin did not take it lightly because the opponent was tied up. He raised his hand and used a wind escape technique to hit the opponent directly in the face, wanting to see the true face of the attacker.

The black-robed man was calm and composed in the face of the restraints and wind escape. His bound arms were slightly tense. The monk who was controlling the sand-binding coffin immediately looked at his trembling fists in surprise.

This person was able to resist the constraints of his own sand coffin with just the strength of his body.

However, the next scene was what shocked Shamen the most.

"boom!"

After a deafening roar, the man in black robe actually used the strength of his arms to forcefully break free from the sand coffin. Seeing this, Shamen immediately reacted, raised his other hand and condensed a sharp sand spear in mid-air.

Whoosh——

Facing the unstoppable sand spears, the man in black robe with his hands free calmly raised his arms and forcibly blocked the sand spears that were strong enough to penetrate the city wall. The flying sand and gravel covered the black robe with a layer of golden feathers under the scorching sun.

"Prepare to attack!"

While Shamen was fighting, the Anbu team was not just there to watch. The team leader made a prompt decision and issued an order to attack. Everyone immediately refined their chakra and began to form seals. The extremely sharp wind escape technique instantly hit the trapped black-robed man.

Boom——

Boom boom

Countless ninjutsu engulfed the black-robed man, and the aftermath of the attack stirred up yellow sand all over the sky, covering everyone present.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The monk who was concentrating on the task suddenly felt his hand loosen. This was the feedback that the sand-bound coffin had lost its target.

Was he blasted into ashes?

A faint doubt flashed through Shamen's mind, but Shukaku in his consciousness space became more and more frightened. With the instinct of the tailed beast, he could clearly sense that the person who came was fine.

"Watch out, bald guy!"

"ha?"

Heeding Shukaku's warning in his mind, Shamon immediately stepped back a few steps.

"ah!"

"ah!"

“.”

Suddenly, screams of Anbu ninjas could be heard from all around. Shamon was very anxious and raised his hands immediately.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

The hurricane blew away the yellow sand in the blink of an eye, and what came into the eyes of Shamen were the scattered bodies of his men.

"Lord Kazekage."

The only ANBU captain who still had a breath of life was being held in the hands of the black-robed man who had escaped at some point. The blood from his mouth dripped onto the hot gravel, making a sizzling sound.

"How dare you!"

The monk's eyes were bulging,

“Crack!”

But the black-robed man ignored him and crushed the captain of the dark team's throat without hesitation.

"ah!!!!"

Shamen went completely crazy after seeing this scene. At this moment, he just wanted to kill the attacker in front of him and avenge his loyal men.

"You bastard, even if God forgives you, I won't!"

"henshin!"

With a grim look on his face, he took out a driver that had not been used for a long time and buckled it around his waist. Then, Shamon pulled out the golden Shukaku card and the simple buckle and inserted them without hesitation.

Looking at the transformed Shamon, the man in black robe did not intervene until the green raccoon-headed knight appeared, and then his dull eyes lit up slightly.

Almost at the same time, similar scenes occurred in the four major ninja villages except Konoha.

Iwagakure Village,

On a cliff not far from the village, Ohnoki was panting with his eyes trembling. All around him were the bodies of dead Iwagakure.

"You guys, are you Konoha's killer?"

He thought that Konoha had discovered his previous actions and sent assassins to warn him of his cross-border behavior.

But the dark shadow standing in front of him did not answer, but just pushed him into a desperate situation.

In this situation, calling for reinforcements was impossible, and escaping using the Light and Heavy Rock Technique was even more impossible.

"I will definitely kill you!"

Ohnoki gritted his teeth and pulled out the driver from behind, the flame of revenge in his eyes rising.

Even a clay man has a temper. He is usually quite cautious (cowardly), but he still has the awareness of being a shadow.

"henshin!"

The Hidden Mist Village,

In an area just a few miles away from the main island of the Hidden Mist Village, countless broken ship wreckages were scattered on the turbulent sea, and countless Mist Ninjas were buried on the seabed.

In the middle of the wreckage, the solitary Third Mizukage Katsura knelt on one knee, his feet on a piece of frozen ice. His eyes, which were usually tightly closed, were wide open, and his pupils exuded a sinister aura.

"Who the hell are you!?"

“.”

In front of him, a dark figure stood on the mast that had not yet sunk to the bottom of the sea, with a dull look in his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.

Gui hammered the ice hard.

Since even his proud ice escape technique was useless, he could only...

"henshin!"

Hidden Cloud Village,

The Silver and Gold brothers, who were out on a mission alone, looked at the two identical mysterious black-robed men in front of them with solemn eyes.

They had simply fought with the two men for several rounds, and the brothers' years of training in physical skills had shown signs of being suppressed.

"oioioi, are you two brothers too?"

Jinjiao Zhe smiled and squeezed his bruised fist, but he kept guessing about the other party's identity.

"Could it be the Brainless and Unhappy duo that were active a while ago?"

"Brother, let's run quickly."

Silver Horn beside him came over and whispered, his words full of worry,

"Humph, Lao Ba said the same thing, but do you think they will let us leave easily?"

Kinkaku, who had also reached a consensus with the tailed beasts, knew about the Eight-Tails' warning, but the current situation did not allow him to just leave.

"Haha, I haven't had a good fight in a long time. I feel like I'm getting rusty."

Faced with the inexplicable oppression from the duo, the eager Jinjiao advanced instead of retreating, laughing wildly and looking at his brother. The two of them, who had a tacit understanding, took out their drivers at the same time.

"Let's make some noise! ​​Oudoudou!"

"Yes, Nissan!"

"henshin!"*2

With the help of the Knight System, the Tailed Beast Knights once had the upper hand in the battle with the black-robed man.

The knights attacked in anger, using their special moves one after another.

The dark god of vengeance leaned against the red full moon and cut open the coat of the man in black robe.

The red veteran driver kicked six times at high speed and successfully broke the disguise of the man in black robe.

The blue holy pole brushed past the black-robed man's shoulder, and the extreme cold air it emitted instantly froze the fluttering cloak.

Before the silver tiger was seen, the sound of freezing was heard first. A silver light flashed, and the black robe fell to the ground.

The purple giant bull held a chainsaw in its hand and smashed it hard on the raised arms of the man in black robe. The roaring sound of the engine drove its sharp teeth to tear open the truth hidden in the shadows.

"Let me expose your true colors!"*5

As the smooth black hair hidden in the cloak fell down, the five knights stood there in a daze, their eyes full of disbelief.

"How could it be you!"*5

No matter how imaginative they were, they couldn't guess that the attacker was him.

Faced with the question, the attacker who revealed his true face did not answer. His face, which was too pale to look like a living person, had no expression. His lifeless black pupils stared straight at the driver on the waist of the Tailed Beast Knight.

"The mission target has entered a collectible state." (End of this chapter)
