Meanwhile, Sunagakure.
After the last lesson, the village's perception system has improved by more than one level.
When the giant bird Deidara was still several miles away, the ninjas in the perception class had already captured the abnormal Chakra fluctuations.
"Lord Kazekage! A UFO is approaching at high speed!"
A sand ninja hurriedly pushed open the door of Kazekage's Office with an urgent tone.
Gaara put down the document in his hand when he heard this and frowned slightly.
From heaven again?
"Where is the Chakra characteristic?"
"It is highly consistent with the characteristics of the last attacker." The ninja immediately replied.
"Also, there seem to be three people this time."
Gaara was silent for a moment, then stood up and picked up the gourd leaning on the table.
"Notify Baki, Temari and Kankuro and ask them to meet outside the village.
Immediately evacuate the villagers and mobilize two teams to set up defenses outside the village to prevent sneak attacks from other directions."
"Lord Kazekage..." The sand ninja hesitated.
"Do you want to fight in person? Why don't we investigate first?"
"No need."
Gaara interrupted him, his tone calm but with a hint of doubt.
"Their target is me. Since we can sense it in advance this time, we must pull the battle line outside the village."
He paused and looked out the window at the low residential buildings.
"And the lesson learned last time is enough."
After the words fell, he walked to the window and jumped down.
A wisp of sand gushes out from the gourd, catches his body steadily, and carries him flying towards the entrance of the village.
The sand ninja watched the red figure disappear from sight, gritted his teeth, and turned around to convey the order.
Village entrance.
A large number of villagers are evacuating in an orderly manner under the guidance of ninjas.
The old man was being supported, the child was being held, the young woman was carrying the baggage, and the man was carrying the valuable belongings of the family on his shoulders.
No one cried, no one pushed.
After experiencing the last attack, everyone knows that panic will only make things worse.
Temari stood on a high platform, holding his fan behind his back and looking solemnly at the sky in the distance.
Kankuro squatted beside her, with his fingers on the puppet's mechanism, ready to attack at any time.
Baki stood at the front of the team, with his arms folded and his face gloomy.
"Coming."
He whispered something.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
On the distant skyline, a black spot is rapidly enlarging.
Clay giant bird.
On the back of the giant bird, three figures are clearly visible.
"Spread out!"
Baki gave the order, and all the ninjas retreated at the same time, forming a loose defense line outside the village.
Gaara fell from the sky and stood at the front of the team, with sand slowly flowing around him.
The giant bird stopped hundreds of meters away from the village and hung in the air.
Deidara looked down at the red figure below, with a sneer on his lips.
"Hey, we meet again, One-Tail Jinchuriki."
He touched his newly connected arm, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"The accounts from last time should be settled today."
Gaara didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
The sand spreads under the feet, slowly spreading outward.
Deidara saw this and was about to control the giant bird to rise, but was stopped by Kisame who raised his hand.
"Wait."
Kisame's voice was deep and hoarse, with a chilling sense of oppression.
"I'll go first."
He jumped off the giant bird and landed on the ground dozens of meters away from Gaara.
Samehada was lying on his shoulders, his small eyes calmly looking at Desert around him.
"There's... too much sand here."
He muttered to himself, then raised his hands Hand Seals.
"Water Release, Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
The majestic water gushes out from his mouth, like a flood opening, instantly submerging the sand beneath his feet.
The water spread outward at an alarming speed, turning the originally dry Desert into a swamp.
Gaara's brows wrinkled slightly.
When his sand encountered water, it began to become heavy and its flow slowed down significantly.
Those originally light grains of sand were now like pieces of sponge soaked in water, heavy and stagnant.
"In this case..."
Kisame took back his hand and raised the corner of his mouth into a smile that was not a smile.
"The speed at which you extract sand from the ground is much slower."
He turned around and looked at Deidara.
"The rest is up to you."
Deidara grinned.
"Thank you, brother Kisame."
He jumped off the giant bird and landed on a rock on the edge of the swamp, looking down at Gaara.
"Now... it's time to settle our accounts."
Tobi squatted on the giant bird, looked left and right, and suddenly raised his hand.
"What about me? What do I do?"
"You..."
Deidara thought for a while and pointed at the sand ninja who were setting up defenses in the distance.
"Go and contain them. Don't let them get in the way."
"Okay!"
Tobi jumped down from the giant bird, flipped his body several times in the air, and landed firmly in front of the defense line of the Sand Ninjas.
He opened his arms, tilted his head, and sounded innocent.
"Hello everyone--! I am Tobi! Please take care of me!"
The sand ninjas looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Baki's brows furrowed even more.
"Don't be fooled by him. Come on!"
With an order, dozens of sand ninjas took action at the same time.
Kunai, Shuriken, Explosive Tag, overwhelmingly shooting towards Tobi.
However.
Those attacks passed through Tobi's body and landed on the ground behind him, exploding a crater.
Tobi stood on the spot unscathed, tilting his head and speaking innocently.
"Eh? Where are you fighting? I'm here."
The faces of the sand ninjas instantly turned ugly when they saw this.
"What the hell is this?"
Kankuro was amazed in his heart and decided to test it in close combat.
His two puppets flew out from the scroll behind him and rushed towards Tobi.
"Black Ant! Crow!"
Two puppets, one on the left and one on the right, flank Tobi.
Tobi's body Intangibility again, and the puppet's attack also passed through his body.
"It's useless, it's useless~"
Tobi waved his hand and spoke briskly.
"I'm very powerful~"
Temari stood on the high platform, looking at the strange figure below, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"What the hell is this guy...?"
Baki didn't speak, but just held Kunai in his hand.
far away.
Deidara and Gaara are facing each other.
The wind howled between the two of them, picking up gravel and water splashes on the ground.
Deidara took out a ball of clay from the bag on his waist, squeezed it, and raised a confident arc at the corner of his mouth.
"This time, I won't fail again."
Gaara didn't speak, just raised his hand.
The sand beneath his feet slowly rose, condensing into a thick barrier in front of him.
Deidara saw this and threw the clay in his hand forward.
"Go for it!"
The clay deformed in the air, turning into tiny flying birds that swooped toward Gaara.
C1, Clay Bird.
Gaara raised his hand, and the sand rose up from the ground with difficulty, condensing into a barrier in front of him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The flying birds hit the sand wall and exploded one after another.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel flew.
But the sand wall didn't move at all.
Deidara narrowed his eyes.
"It's still so hard..."
He touched his broken arm, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"However, I came prepared today."
