On the outskirts of the Land of Wind's desert, Liyan Pit.
The Hidden Sand Village had laid an ambush, but Iwagakure had countermeasures as well: they had hidden Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, among their ranks.
His powerful sensory abilities had kept the entire team from entering the encirclement.
And his surprise attack had nearly taken Pakura's life!
At most, Pakura was now a somewhat nimble artillery mage.
Against an all-around fighter like Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, she had no chance of winning at all.
Fortunately, Zhengye had been protecting her from the side. Otherwise, this Kazekage would have already died in battle.
But the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired.
The Hidden Sand Village elites could only hold back the Five-Tails Jinchuriki first. Once Rasa's team arrived, they could join forces and overwhelm Iwagakure!
Just as Pakura wanted to check on Rasa's side, a boy's voice and a series of explosions reached her ears.
"Art is an explosion! Hmm!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"
Continuous roars erupted within Rasa's team!
The white centipedes that had burrowed into the sand shot out of the ground as the Hidden Sand Village forces passed by, wrapped themselves around them, and exploded with a thunderous blast!
Dozens of white clay centipede bombs exploded simultaneously!
"What...!?"
"An ambush!?"
"Ah...!"
Brief cries of agony rang out before being drowned out by the explosions.
The Hidden Sand Village forces on Rasa's side were stunned by the sudden blasts.
They were supposed to be ambushing Iwagakure. How had they ended up being ambushed instead?
Whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of massive wings beating filled the air as a white dragon flapped its wings and appeared above the Hidden Sand Village forces.
"Have you seen my art? Hmm!"
The Iwagakure forces in this direction
