Blood sprayed through the air as Sand Ninja fell one after another.
The attack by Kirigakure's 110 was swift and sudden.
With the poison in the mist already numbing them, most of the Sand Ninja who had come could not put up the slightest resistance before Kirigakure's ninja cut them down.
"Wind Release: Tornado Hurricane!"
Karura shouted angrily, her hands flashing through Hand Seals.
Boom!
A tremendous explosion rang out as a blast of wind pressure, glowing blue-white, surged forward.
A shallow trench appeared in its path, stretching farther and farther ahead.
Soil, gravel, flowers, grass, trees—everything in its path was swept up.
Powerful winds spilled out in every direction.
Even much of the mist in the air was blown away.
Several Mist Ninja who had no time to react were struck by the terrifying wind pressure, which tore fatal wounds across their bodies.
"Well done, Karura."
Pakura praised her, then blazing fireballs appeared in her hands.
Fireballs far stronger than before!
The moment they appeared, moisture in the air rapidly evaporated, leaving the air hot and dry.
The temperature throughout the canyon kept climbing, bit by bit.
With a light sweep of her arm, Pakura sent fireball after fireball at Kirigakure's ninja. Explosions thundered as they claimed one Mist Ninja's life after another.
Yet Pakura still seemed dissatisfied.
Damn it. Scorch Release is far too weak in this environment, Pakura cursed inwardly.
Then she glared darkly at the Mist Ninja before her.
"Sunagakure came here in good faith to form an alliance with Kirigakure. What is the meaning of this?"
Karura and Pakura's faces were full of anger, but confusion filled their eyes.
The situation had caught them both completely off guard.
Sunagakure and Kirigakure had long been at war, but Kirigakure had shown some willingness to negotiate peace.
