The next day.
Ning Xue is still wandering around the village.
He went to the more central Ninja Academy and saw these children undergoing rigorous Taijutsu training in the sand.
He also went to the edge of the village and looked at the ninjas patrolling the wall.
He also went to some markets, where everything was sold, but only for ninja tools, which required Forehead Protector certificate.
Daily necessities here are relatively cheap, but the quality is...
As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
In front of a stall, he bought some dates shipped from Konoha and found a shady place to sit down and taste them.
Just as he was tasting one after another, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a few small figures in the corner, staring longingly at him... No, they should be staring at the dates in his hand.
There were three children, the youngest looked to be only 4 or 5 years old, and the eldest looked to be only seven years old.
They were all wearing brown shirts, and their faces were stained with sand, but the most eye-catching thing was the drops of... slobber on the corners of their mouths.
He looked at the dates in his hand, then at the group of eager figures, and was silent for a moment.
Immediately, he waved to the three children and motioned for them to come over.
When several children saw each other waving to indicate that they should pass, they hesitated for a moment. The youngest took a step forward timidly, and then looked back at the older children.
The little boy who seemed to be the leader bit his lip, finally mustered up the courage, and slowly moved over with his younger brothers and sisters.
When they got closer, they didn't dare to get too close and stopped two or three meters away from Ning Xue.
Ning Xue didn't say anything, he just picked up the remaining dates and handed them to them.
The children were stunned.
"Take it and share it."
The little boy in the lead stared at him with wide eyes and looked at him in disbelief, then looked at the bag of dates, which they regarded as treasures.
"Is this... is this for us?" His voice was trembling.
Ning Xue nodded.
The little boy swallowed, carefully stretched out his hand, and took the bag of dates.
When he truly felt the weight, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Thank you, brother!!" he shouted loudly, his voice full of excitement.
The other two children also reacted and shouted one after another.
"Thank you brother!"
"Thank you brother!"
Ning Xue looked at them, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing.
He stood up, patted the sand on his body, turned and left.
At night.
Ning Xue was lying on the hard wooden bed, eyes closed, but not asleep.
The night at Sunagakure is very quiet, with only the occasional whistling of the wind.
This kind of quietness is different from Konoha, and it is also different from Land of Demons.
He is thinking about tomorrow.
Sunagakure There is nothing to see.
You've seen everything you need to see. Let's leave early tomorrow morning.
As for where to go next...
He was calculating silently in his mind.
Land of Rain? I heard that it rains all year round and is an intelligence distribution center.
Or go to Land of Iron? There is neutrality, and the warrior system also has merits.
Or...
Boom...!!!
An earth-shaking loud noise suddenly interrupted Ning Xue's thoughts.
The whole room shook violently, the windows jingled, and even the water glass on the bedside fell to the ground due to the vibration and broke into pieces.
Ning Xue suddenly jumped up from the bed, swayed, came to the window, and pushed open the window.
Then, his pupils shrank suddenly.
I saw a huge white strange bird hovering in the sky, with a cloud of sand around it trying to catch it.
He turned on Byakugan, and veins popped out of the corners of his eyes. He quickly locked onto the two fighting men in the air.
The ones with red hair and red clothes and the huge gourd behind their backs are none other than Fifth Kazekage--Gaara.
On the other side, standing on the strange clay bird, was a man wearing a black-and-red cloud-patterned uniform with eye-catching yellow hair—Deidara, one of the Akatsuki art duo.
"It's really tricky to have the advantage of the venue..."
Deidara looked at the sand covering the sky and the sun, and couldn't help but sigh.
Below, countless sand ninjas were quickly evacuating the crowd to avoid causing large-scale civilian casualties.
In the sky above, Gaara gathered the sand in the air into strips like giant hands of Shukaku, and grabbed them towards Deidara.
As for these attacks, Deidara dismisses them.
He took out the clay from the bag on his waist, molded out mini bombs one after another, and blew up the attacking Sand Hands one by one while moving around.
But it wasn't over yet, Deidara quickly threw two C1 Bomb, flying straight towards Gaara.
Seeing this, Gaara first separated some sand to try to block it, but seeing that it was too fast to intercept, it quickly gathered the sand under its feet to form a defensive posture.
"Click!"
As Deidara drank, the two C1 Bomb instantly emitted dazzling white light.
"Boom"
The explosion sounded, instantly engulfing Gaara's body and raising a large amount of smoke and dust.
Ning Xue below saw this wonderful aerial battle and couldn't help but admire it.
Is this the strength of Kage Level?
As the battle above became more intense, Gaara tore off one of Deidara's arms.
"People above, get down quickly and go to the shelter immediately!"
A shout penetrated the reverberation of the explosion and reached Ning Xue's ears clearly.
He turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.
That was a young Suna ninja.
At this moment, the sand ninja was carrying an old man with handicapped legs and feet on his back, and shouted eagerly to Ning Xue.
"Go to the shelter in an orderly manner!"
After saying this, the young ninja ignored Ning Xue and quickly ran towards the shelter with the old man on his back.
Ning Xue After being attracted by the sand ninja, he glanced at the crowd of people running away below.
The old man was holding his child, the woman was holding her husband, some were crying, and some were looking for their lost relatives.
Chaos.
But in order.
At least it seems that Sunagakure's evacuation measures are pretty good.
But at this moment.
An extremely dangerous wave of Chakra suddenly came from above.
Ning Xue's pupils shrank and he raised his head suddenly.
In the air, Deidara was held up with one hand, and a ball of clay creation was suspended above the palm of his hand.
He casually threw it forward, and the clay instantly enlarged to form a giant bomb with a unique shape.
And that is C3 Bomb of Deidara.
At this moment, it was being thrown down from the sky at an extremely fast speed.
And where it falls...
It's exactly above where Ning Xue is!!!
"Damn it!"
Ning Xue cursed in a rare voice.
In the field of vision of his Byakugan, the intensity of the group of Chakra was soaring geometrically at this moment.
He could clearly see that the explosive Chakra contained inside that thing was enough to level everything within a few hundred meters.
The crowd below is still running.
Someone looked back and his face turned pale instantly.
"Ah--!!!"
Screams came and went.
Some people fell to the ground, some squatted down with their heads in their hands, and some closed their eyes in despair.
Too close.
Too fast.
There was no time to escape.
When the sand ninja who was carrying the old man on his back saw this, he was stunned in fear.
He looked up at the growing shadow, his lips trembling, but he couldn't make any sound.
It's over.
