Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade!!
Using Water Release in a desert-like area such as Sand is particularly challenging. However, under Yu's full force, the high-pressure water gun condensed in his hand still emitted an astonishing momentum.
"What is that... Water Release?!"
Seeing Yu, who was fleeing in the high sky, unexpectedly using Water Release in the desert, and moreover, the ultimate S-rank secret technique level of Water Release, Chiyo's expression froze.
"The nature and form of Chakra have reached that level?!"
"Who on earth is that little brat?!"
Even though the two sides were separated by over a hundred meters, all the Sand Ninjas present could clearly feel the waterfall-like sound of water flowing down from above.
"Bad news! Scatter!"
Sensing the formidable Ninjutsu in Yu's hands, at this moment, Fourth Kazekage Rasa's expression on his face changed drastically, immediately dispersing the surrounding Sand Ninjas.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart!!"
Simultaneously, both hands formed seals in an instant, pressing fiercely against the ground.
The earth continuously trembled, and in the blink of an eye, a row of immensely colossal earthen walls soared high into the air.
Apart from the Kekkei Genkai Magnet Release, Rasa was also a highly skilled Earth Release Ninja. Utilizing Earth Release to counter Water Release is an unchanging truth in the ninja world.
"Boom!!"
But in the next second, the high-pressure water gun in Yu's hands had already been thrown.
Midway through its trajectory, it suddenly disappeared, passing through the massive earthen wall created by Fourth Kazekage Rasa.
Then, it reappeared out of thin air, instantly enlarging into a colossal water tornado that seemed to connect heaven and earth, spanning tens of meters.
All the Sand Ninjas present only felt a deafening roar in their ears. Subsequently, their bodies ached, and then, before they knew it, they lost consciousness.
"To actually use this level of Water Release in the desert..."
"Damn it... We must find out who that kid really is!"
Staring at the rampant and overwhelming water tornado before them, it sucked in a group of Hidden Sand individuals along with the surrounding buildings, grinding them into pieces.
Suffering such immense losses inexplicably, the gloomy gaze of Fourth Kazekage Rasa seemed capable of dripping blood.
"Escaped... did he escape?"
"Facing Lord Kazekage and Lady Chiyo... as well as so many elite Sand Ninjas..."
As the dust settled and they looked at the vast field of corpses, the completely devastated Sand Village, and the disappearing figure of Yu in the sky, the young Sand Jonin Baki muttered in shock,
"When did someone like this appear in the ninja world..."
"Baki! Immediately organize a pursuit unit!!"
At this moment, Fourth Kazekage Rasa, with a dark expression, issued a stern order, "Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find that kid for me!"
"Absolutely cannot let him leave the Land of Wind with those two things!!"
"Yes!"
Understanding the urgency of the situation, Baki immediately responded in a low voice and then, in an instant, his figure disappeared from the spot.
"We must retrieve him..."
"That kid didn't just take the Puppetry Scroll..."
Seeing Baki leave, Chiyo stood behind Rasa and muttered to herself. Her absent-minded gaze indicated that she was not calm at the moment.
There's also the scroll about that forbidden technique...
Three days later, at the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers.
The sky was clear, a brilliant azure without a cloud for miles.
Yu was sitting in a dense forest, taking a brief rest and using Medical Ninjutsu to heal the wounds on his body.
"They actually sent so many ninjas to pursue me..."
"It seems I've really angered the Sand this time..."
A green chakra bloomed in his hands, and as it passed over his body, all the wounds, big and small, completely healed. A wry smile appeared on Yu's face.
After escaping from the Hidden Sand Village, Sand immediately dispatched a large number of elite ninjas to form a pursuit unit to hunt him down.
Coincidentally, the border zone between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers was often battered by strong winds, and there were rarely any clouds in the sky. Therefore, Yu had no choice but to return to Konoha by land.
"However..."
"I've successfully obtained these two things; everything was worth it."
After completing his self-treatment, Yu gently tucked the two scrolls in his arms and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!!"
However, at this moment, a sudden sound in the dark jungle made every muscle in Yu's body tense, and he instantly became alert.
"Boom!"
A large cluster of yellowish fireballs illuminated the entire forest.
Along with an incredibly intense explosion, the entire ground where Yu was previously located was blasted into a huge crater.
Not only that, but all the surrounding trees had their moisture drawn out by this massive fireball, turning into scattered ashes.
"Hmph... Your observation and reaction are quite keen."
"But you can't escape. If you're sensible, return what you took from us, the Sand!"
A strange voice echoed in the jungle, and a tall and robust Sand Ninja emerged from the shadows on the side.
In addition, about a dozen other Sand Ninjas slowly surrounded him – precisely the assassination pursuit unit dispatched by the Sand.
"Oh? Return the things to you?"
"Will you Sand Ninjas let me go if I do?"
Seeing the appearance of over a dozen Sand Ninjas, Yu, at some point, had already positioned himself in the airspace above their heads.
He stepped on invisible, transparent threads, wearing a mocking expression as he looked down at the group of Sand Ninjas beneath him.
Scorch Release...
What's the connection between this guy and Pakura from the Sand?
At the same time, looking at the tall Sand Ninja leading the group below, Yu felt a sense of caution.
Scorch Release – it's a Kekkei Genkai that combines the Wind and Fire Chakra natures, with more power than ordinary Fire Release Ninjutsu.
The colossal fireball just now, if he hadn't avoided it in time, his fate would probably have been to evaporate all the moisture inside his body, turning into a mummified corpse by now.
"Let you go?"
"Hahaha... What a naive kid!"
Hearing Yu's words, the towering Scorch Release ninja, Pafuka, burst into loud laughter. His rough face was full of ferocity. "Infiltrating Sand, attempting to assassinate the Kazekage and an Elder, stealing Sand's secrets— with so many serious crimes, do you think we would let you go?!"
"Hehe... What a load of crap."
Even though he knew it would be the case, upon hearing Pafuka's words, Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes and ruthlessly mock him.
"Hmph, a sharp-tongued brat."
"When I catch you and turn you into a dried-up corpse... let's see how tough you are then!"
Mocked by a little kid who looked seven or eight years old, Pafuka's fierce eyes flashed with a hint of red, and he began forming hand seals.
Scorch Release again?!
Seeing Pafuka forming seals below, Yu, hovering in mid-air, felt a sudden tightness in his chest. Instinctively, he raised his right hand, attempting to unleash the abilities of the Thread Fruit before his opponent could act.
"Swoosh!"
However, at this moment, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly came from behind, causing every hair on Yu's body to stand on end.
In a reflexive motion, he formed his right hand into a claw and turned, striking out with razor-sharp Five-Colored Threads.
"Clang!"
A crisp metal collision resounded.
The attacking ninja raised two large square shurikens in their hands, just managing to block Yu's turning strike.
So that's it... Were all the ninjas below just bait?
Having successfully defended against the surprise attack from behind, Yu's mind quickly grasped the tactical strategy of this group of Sand Ninjas.
