Burial Master, You Buried Them So Well, Good Brother!

The ground shook violently on both sides of the valley. Temari and Kankuro were stunned and watched helplessly as the rock walls on both sides of the valley collapsed and rocks fell.

"Run!" Temari was the first to react, shouting to Kankuro.

The two men, each carrying the unconscious Gaara on one side, jumped up the moment the boulders fell. They had to get out of the valley before the rocks buried them alive, otherwise all their skills would be in vain.

But more and more rocks fell from all sides, and the entire valley collapsed instantly under the Chakra Jonin the three Jonin. Temari up and saw the sky full of falling rocks and huge clods of earth, her face filled with despair.

In that life-or-death moment, the whole world seemed to become clearer, and the surrounding sounds were amplified infinitely. My heart pounded, and my blood surged through my veins.

That may be the end of it. Even if the Konohagakure ninjas arrive, they will probably only be able to dig out their bodies from the ruins.

"What's that noise?" Kiba Inuzuka abruptly stopped in his tracks, his instincts warning him of danger ahead!

"Oh no! The valley ahead is about to collapse!" Neji Hyuga's veins bulged around his eyes. "The mission target is inside the valley, and there are Sand ninjas on both sides. They're going to bury three people alive!"

"We can't get through!" Hinata also activated her Byakugan, her small face filled with horror.

"It's already collapsed, we can't get anyone out." Shino was still running forward, but his words already indicated that he could give up and was just waiting for Shikamaru to make a decision.

Rock Lee rushed to the front; if it were a matter of risking his life to go in and rescue people, he was the most suitable person.

Everyone stared at Shikamaru, time ticking away. Like a tortoise lying on a clock face, the triangular formation continued its rapid advance into the valley.

The valley gradually revealed itself, then crumbled away bit by bit. The ground trembled, and the danger was visible to the naked eye, even from kilometers away.

Shikamaru gritted his teeth, somewhat unwilling to accept the mission's failure. Gazing at the valley before him, which resembled a crisp ice cream cone crumbling apart, he clenched his fists.

"Stop!" he shouted. "We'll go around and check it out later!"

Upon hearing the order, Rock Lee immediately stopped in his tracks. The others did the same, running a few steps before stopping; there was no other way now.

Sasuke didn't bring any support from Sand because Sasuke and Naruto had already broken all of the Sand siblings' weapons.

Therefore, the Konohagakure had no contact with the three siblings from Sand; to them, the three siblings were simply mission targets.

It would be best if we could complete the mission, but it's not worth risking our lives if we can't.

The valley collapsed because there wasn't enough time, and it was beyond the scope of ordinary Ninjutsu. Besides, they were just Genin, not some turtle in a wishing well where a miracle would happen in a flash of golden light.

If someone were to look down at this terrain from above, they would find the shape around the valley too jagged, as if they were seeing Marilyn Monroe on a map.

The narrow valley continued to collapse, and billowing dust rose dozens of meters into the air, while the blazing sun silently watched everything.

"I have a plan!"

A figure flashed past, overtaking the crowd, and shouted indistinctly before accelerating towards the half-collapsed valley. Shikamaru's pupils dilated slightly, and his heart leaped into his throat.

"Naruto, come back quickly!"

Damn it! It's one thing to fail the mission, but if Naruto, it'll be a huge loss! The other side clearly had a plan, otherwise they wouldn't have used that kind of Ninjutsu at this crucial moment.

The mission plan may have already been leaked, and the other side may have also included them in their scheme. At this point, the best course of action is to observe first and retreat immediately if anything seems amiss.

"Shikamaru, stop him!" Neji's urgent voice rang out. "There are at least three Jonin on the other side, stop him! Don't let him get past!"

Are you kidding me? Neji practically yelled those last few words. Why send three Jonin to chase a few Genin? And to deliberately intercept them—that sounds too conspiratorial.

The Sand's interception must have been premeditated, based on information that Konohagakure was sending Genin squad to provide backup. They had planned it all along, turning the tables on the village and staging this live burial. It's obvious what the Sand's intentions were: to pin the blame on Konohagakure and divert attention from internal conflicts!

The rice is almost cooked to a crisp now. Either stop the collapse or leave as soon as possible, as if you've never been here.

The Nikko was bright, Shikamaru felt a chill run down his spine. The Sand Village was truly shameless.

They're like Sand raised by bitches!

If the three siblings died in the valley, right in front of them, and the murderer on the other side dragged them out, that would be catching them red-handed!

"Damn it! Naruto, stop!!" Shikamaru roared, but his hands formed Hand Seals before the words could escape his throat.

The shadow, like a thin thread, sped past Naruto. He had to stop him; if he didn't turn back and run now, it would be too late!

As for the other option, Shikamaru didn't even consider it.

Rescue them? Is that even possible? The valley has already collapsed to such an extent that even if Naruto arrives, he will always be a step too late, unless he can travel through space to bring them out.

Otherwise, not only would there be no chance of survival, but Konohagakure would also be tricked by Sand!

The shadow couldn't keep up at all. Shikamaru took a deep breath, turned around, and shouted.

"Ino!"

Ino understood immediately, quickly Hand Seals and using the Mind Body Switch Technique on Naruto as he ran away. She wanted to control Naruto's body and stop him from going any further.

With fingers flying across the paper, Ino gave a low shout the instant the hand seals were formed. Her spirit entered Naruto's body, intending to take over, but instead found herself surrounded by a vast expanse.

Unlike all the souls and bodies she had ever seen, Naruto's body was not completely dark; only a weak, five-gram soul remained huddled in a corner.

Before me lay a desolate forest of bones, blood flowing like a fountain, and a colossal black shadow stood like a mountain. Its head touched the sky, and its eyes shone like enormous stars.

His mind jolted, and the Mind Body Switch Technique was gently pushed back.

It failed.

Ino was trembling all over and her eyes were glazed over, but she was not being devoured by her soul.

Naruto noticed Ino's Ninjutsu, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it, nor did he know what she had seen. He simply gave her a light push, shoving her aside.

He already knew that his soul seemed stronger than others, capable of being Dan Katō, but he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, apart from Orochimaru who liked to manipulate souls, it seemed that everyone else in the Shinobi World who played with souls had already met their demise. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to it.

At first, he didn't really want to save the three siblings from Sand and intended to stand by and watch, but unfortunately, the system kept giving him a nudge.

Without a second thought, without even looking at the options, he rushed out to save the person. If the person had died, there would be no point in saying anything; there would be no other choice.

Outside the valley, Naruto leaped high into the air and clapped his hands to activate Ninjutsu.

[Kurotsuchi Raiga's Funeral!]

A large funeral procession in black robes appeared in the center of the valley, their mournful cries heart-wrenching. Ignoring all physical harm, they ruthlessly stuffed the three siblings from Sand into white coffins.

Huge boulders passed through the funeral procession, the wailing continued, and the white coffin rumbled as it was carried. Ignoring the tumbling, piled-up boulders, a figure pierced through the massive clods of earth, burying the person directly in the ground.

Seeing this, Naruto was incredibly excited and clenched his fists, letting out a strange shout!

"Yoho! Raiga Kurosuki, my god!"

Temari was stunned. At the critical moment, Kankuro summoned a puppet to shield the three of them from a falling boulder. But as three more boulders fell, Temari's Kamaitachi's energy was also exhausted.

In their despair, the three were suddenly put into a coffin, and darkness enveloped them.

Listening to the continuous rumbling of the falling stones, Kankuro initially struggled, but then, realizing that everything seemed alright, he instantly became docile.

This is bizarre! This is really bizarre! Kankuro thought to himself, is this a real funeral? What kind of idiot buried me here?

But you buried it well, dear brother!

You weren't late, weren't you touched?
