The midday sun was very scorching, and the sand grains exploded with tiny crackling sounds in the high temperature, as if the earth was being forged by an invisible giant hammer, the air was twisted into flowing ripples, and the sand dunes in the distance collapsed and deformed like melted wax statues.
But the people in the desert had no intention of wiping their sweat. Looking at the body of the man in black in front of them, they even felt a chill in their hearts.
"Dead, all dead."
"This is the first wave of killers we've seen?"
These people were the search and rescue team organized by Hidden Sand Village overnight. They searched in the desert with a nervous mood, fearing that they would see the corpses of candidates scattered everywhere, but what they saw was the corpses of men in black one after another.
"I know this person. He is a member of our Iwagakure's original Explosion Team. He defected three years ago because he was dissatisfied with the policies of Lord Tsuchikage." The leader of Iwagakure said with a solemn expression.
"This person is Jonin from the Hozuki Clan. I have seen his portrait on the wanted notice issued by Hidden Mist Village." Minato Namikaze pulled off the mask of a man in black and said.
"What on earth are you Hidden Sand Village doing? Why do so many killers break into Chunin Ninja Exams and then die here inexplicably, even in different ways? Don't tell me, they were all killed by candidates taking the exam?" the leader of Iwagakure asked fiercely.
Rasa looked solemn. With Scorpion's methods, it was entirely possible to kill these killers. However, judging from the scars on the bodies of the deceased, only the killers in the previous place died from puppets.
"That is to say, there is at least one "Genin" at the Elite Jonin level in this exam." Rasa's mouth twitched slightly. He thought he was going too far, but he didn't expect that Konoha and Iwagakure were as much as he was.
It's just Chunin Ninja Exams for a game. Is it so hard to fight?
"Don't worry about these dead people. The exam is still going on. Maybe there is a killer lurking among Demon Desert. We must find the participating children as soon as possible." Rasa said.
At the end of the desert, Setsuna and others saw Hidden Sand Village's station from a distance.
"Haha, it finally came out."
"We've reached the exit, we can't be in danger, right?"
Everyone cheered, they didn't want to stay in this desert for a moment.
At this time, a Hidden Sand Village ninja took the initiative to greet us, "It's amazing. You guys actually crossed the desert in just one day."
"This is all because of Master Setsuna's help, otherwise we would have died inside." A Iwagakure Ninja said fearfully.
The Hidden Sand Village ninja who greeted him was quite surprised, "You are not Iwagakure..."
"I have now seen through it all. All struggles and exams are false. Only peace is real. We should pursue peace." Iwagakure Ninja raised his head, as if revealing the brilliance of holiness.
Hidden Sand Village ninja is quite speechless. Is this what a ninja should say?
Without struggle, how can these ninjas make money?
"Yes, only by experiencing life and death can we understand the value of life."
"I have become enlightened."
Ninjas from other teams also lamented that the world of ninjas is really not suitable for ordinary Genin like them.
"Anyway, please sign first." Hidden Sand Village Ninja took out the signature book and came to Setsuna.
Setsuna just picked up the pen and prepared to sign, when the Hidden Sand Village ninja in front of him suddenly took out a specially made small Kunai from under the signature book and assassinated him.
But Setsuna's reaction was faster than he expected. He held the pen in his right hand, but still easily grabbed his wrist with his left hand. He asked with a smile, "Can you see me?"
Of course, the ninja on the opposite side didn't understand the meaning of "Pictures and daggers seen", but his reaction was extremely fast. The wrist grabbed by Setsuna suddenly turned into a large number of black threads and wrapped around it.
This iconic black line naturally allowed Setsuna to recognize the other party's identity. "Kakuzu? You are really cautious enough, but not cautious enough."
Kakuzu was quite surprised. "You know me?"
"I heard that you challenged First Hokage. You should have challenged him just like you did. Shoot Shuriken at me from a distance. Even if you complete the task, why bother fighting for your life?" Setsuna shook his head and sighed.
"Nonsense." Kakuzu corrected angrily, "I was obviously defeated by his Wood Release secret technique. When did I shoot Shuriken?"
"Really? I've heard people outside say this, and I can't blame them. This statement sounds much more reasonable."
"Go to hell!" Kakuzu roared, and four monsters wearing masks and intertwined black lines suddenly rushed out from under the sand and swallowed Setsuna.
"Ah, what's going on?"
"Is the nightmare not over yet?"
It was only then that the few ninja teams who had received the blessing of Setsuna realized what had happened.
"Asshole, let go of Setsuna brother!" Kai instantly burst out Three Gates and rushed towards the enemy.
"This kind of chakra is indeed amazing for Genin." A hint of surprise flashed in Kakuzu's eyes.
Shizune raised his fist, leaped high and landed a punch. Monster Strength, who had concentrated chakra, knocked back the masked monster.
"Monster Strength follows First Hokage? It's really nostalgic." Kakuzu sighed softly.
"Let's go too. If Master Setsuna is killed by him, we will definitely die too." Iwate overcame the fear in his heart, Hand Seals used Earth Release.
"It's time for us to repay our kindness." Another Hidden Sand Village ninja roared.
Seeing this situation, Kakuzu became silent.
Such a harmonious scene is too disharmonious to happen among ninjas. The way of communication between ninjas should be fighting and betrayal.
"It's a pity, it's just a useless struggle."
Kakuzu's sutures hissed and swam in the sandstorm, like countless hungry black Centipede, knocking everyone away easily.
After dealing with the riots of these little guys for a while, Kakuzu finally looked at his trophies.
"I accept your heart." Kakuzu looked at the Heat, and the voice seeped out from Earth Grudge Fear's tentacles. Wind Release As soon as the mask glowed with green light, the figure in front of him suddenly blurred--
The sutures were torn, and a figure approached. The sheer explosive force of the flesh made the air explode like a cannon being fired. Kakuzu's retina didn't even have time to image, and Rising Dragon Fist had already received a blow to his jaw.
"Earth Release·Earth Spear!"
Kakuzu The skin hardened, but the next moment, a sharp pain came.
Kakuzu clearly heard the sound of his mandible breaking, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
His Earth Release is strong enough to withstand steel, and can even ignore the damage from Explosive Tag. He can't even take a normal punch from the opponent.
"Cough--!" Kakuzu coughed up black blood, and Earth Grudge Fear's tentacles surged out crazily, trying to wrap around Setsuna's arm, but Setsuna completely ignored the entanglement of the tentacles and forcibly lifted his body up and whipped it to the ground like a whip.
"You are too arrogant." Kakuzu used Earth Grudge Fear to repair his jaw and shouted out a few broken syllables with difficulty. The tentacles pierced Setsuna's body like steel needles, trying to suck blood from his body.
"Want to suck my blood? Then I'll let you suck it." Setsuna smiled slightly, tapping various parts of the body with his left hand more than a dozen times.
The next moment, Kakuzu spit out a large mouthful of black blood, and even the mask was broken.
"What is going on?" Kakuzu was confused.
"This is the hidden injury that I have accumulated in my body during my recent practice. I really need you to help me share it." Setsuna said with a smile.
"Can it still be like this?" Kakuzu almost suffered internal injuries from anger, but he actually sucked the opponent's injuries back.
