Chapter 738 The worsening situation
At this moment, at the border of the Land of Thunder.
With the fall of nine flaming earth-shattering star meteorites, the entire earth has turned into a hell.
Looking around, there was only red, boiling, hot lava, which was formed by countless rocks melted by the terrifying impact force. A large amount of charred black smoke turned into black curtains swaying and rising, even blocking the warm light of the early sun.
Faced with this doomsday-like attack from outer space, more than 99% of the Iwagakure ninjas were killed.
After all, this time there is no Ōnoki and Gaara's passionate combined skills to resist the meteorites.
What's more, even if the two of them joined forces, they could barely block one Tianaizhenxing meteorite, let alone the nine at the moment!
In an instant, the army of tens of thousands of people disappeared in an instant, and not even their corpses could be found.
And high in the sky.
Sasuke was holding Boruto, suspended in the air, looking down at the cruel hell below, with only indifference in his eyes.
"master……"
"Shut up……"
Boruto wanted to say something, but was blocked by Sasuke.
He knew that Boruto inherited Naruto's character, and even though he had turned evil, the kindness in the deepest part of his heart remained unchanged.
But Boruto is still too immature, or too young.
Without experiencing the baptism of blood and tears of the entire Shippuden, it is still impossible to understand the consequences of being merciful.
Kaguya is unsealed, and no one knows what she and Isshiki are really planning.
Every minute of delay now would be a disaster for the entire ninja world.
Sasuke can only use more swift and cruel means to destroy the Iwagakure troops.
One can only sigh that the Iwagakure Village had bad luck and happened to be at a point where the situation suddenly changed. Otherwise, perhaps the casualties would be less than those of the Kumogakure Village and the Mist Village.
"Master, are they all dead?"
"No, a few of them escaped underground in advance."
The very few veteran Iwagakure elite jonin who survived the Fourth War had witnessed the terrifying power of the Tenkai Shock Star and could better understand the horror and despair of the nine earth-shattering meteorites.
So he immediately used the earth escape method and dived underground madly, trying to rely on the earth to avoid this death package.
Unfortunately, the internal stress and impact force caused by the giant meteorite hitting the ground were equally terrifying, enough to extend hundreds or even thousands of meters downwards...
Layer upon layer of rock and soil were crushed and ravaged by the enormous force. Most of the Rock Ninjas who used earth escape to dive underground were crushed into thin pancakes by the huge force. Their internal organs ruptured and they died instantly, becoming fertilizer in the soil or fossils in the rock layers.
Of course, there are some people who are very good at earth-style ninjutsu. If they sneak deep enough and in time, they can barely escape with their lives.
"Do you want to hunt me down? I can..."
"No need. A few escaped won't cause any trouble."
"So where are we going next, Master?"
"Go to the old nest of Iwagakure Village and clean it up..."
Sasuke responded coldly, saying that he would never break his promise if he destroyed the Iwagakure Village.
If there was enough time, we could have cleaned it up and reduced casualties. But now we couldn't afford to simmer it slowly, so we had to use high heat to reduce the sauce!
talking.
Sasuke waved his hand again and opened another space portal, leading directly to the Iwagakure Village's nest.
But just as he was about to enter, Sasuke suddenly stopped and looked towards the southwest with a puzzled look on his face.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"What is this chakra aura?"
"?"
"It's Kaguya Ōtsutsuki! It's her! She's actually over there?!!"
Sasuke was startled and instantly recognized the amazing chakra aura hundreds of miles southwest.
He is not a perceptual ninja, but with his level of strength, coupled with the all-round enhancement of the Six Paths Chakra, his perceptual ability should not be underestimated.
More importantly, the chakra in the distance is strong enough and amazing enough.
And it seemed that the battle was still in progress, which made Sasuke sense it clearly.
"Kaguya? The goddess of the Uno who was sealed by you, Master, and my father? Didn't she go with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to catch the tailed beasts? Why is she here?"
Boruto wondered.
A distance of several hundred miles was not considered short for a ninja and would take several hours to travel;
But for enemies of the level of Kaguya and Isshiki, this distance is very close; even without using time and space abilities, they can fly there in a few minutes.
Could it be that they have already located the master's position and knew that Sasuke and Dimon were separated?
So you plan to join forces to assassinate the master while Sasuke is alone?
"Do not……"
"Her chakra didn't move. If she wanted to snipe me, she should have opened the portal and come down accurately. And that Ada shouldn't betray her brother."
"As for that direction and this distance..."
"That should be the location of the Sand Village troops."
Sasuke analyzed to himself. After all, the Sand Village troops were moving towards the Iwagakure troops, so it was basically certain.
"Tailed beast?"
"I see, that idiot Gaara, he probably brought the One-Tailed Shukaku with him!"
"No wonder Kaguya appeared over there, she was going for the Ichibi!"
Sasuke quickly guessed the truth, and only this could explain why Kaguya's chakra aura appeared there.
"Shukaku? Hasn't it been sent back to the Sand Village?"
Boruto thought of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Monster that was once sent to Konoha Village for refuge. His cute and silly appearance when he shrank down and stayed in the Sealing Tea Kettle made Himawari love him very much.
When the threat was finally resolved and Shukaku was sent back to the Sand Village, Himawari cried because she couldn't bear to let him go!
"That's right. Gaara probably thought it would be safer for Shukaku to stay with him, so he brought him along. This idiot, he didn't expect to lure Kaguya Ōtsutsuki over there..."
Gaara's judgment was actually correct.
Facing the Fifth Ninja World War instigated by the Kara Organization, their Sand Village has sent out all its elite troops. Instead of leaving Shukaku, a Kage-level fighter, in the village, it is better to act with him.
It can be used as a helper and is also safer.
Unfortunately, due to limited information, they had no idea that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had been unsealed and was still capturing the tailed beasts.
At this moment, staying next to any tailed beast is undoubtedly the most dangerous place!
"Master, what should we do? Shukaku..."
"Let's go check it out. I hope one of them hasn't been taken away yet."
If Isshiki and Kaguya were both here, then I would have no choice but to retreat. Although I am very strong now, I am definitely no match for Kaguya and Isshiki alone.
If Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is the only one left and Shukaku has not been taken away, then we can try to rescue Shukaku.
At least we can take away one of the tailed beasts and disrupt the enemy's plans.
Sasuke activated his eye technique and opened another space portal, directly connecting to the center of the battlefield hundreds of miles away.
However, the main body did not rush in, but sent out a shadow clone to go through the portal first to explore the way and obtain information; in order to avoid Kaguya and Isshiki, he was already prepared to wait and attack the reinforcements on the opposite side.
After a few seconds.
After the clone sent security information, Sasuke took Boruto through the portal and arrived at the other side.
……
Half an hour after Sasuke and the other man left, they were a hundred miles away from the remains of the battlefield where the Iwagakure troops were wiped out.
Two other figures then emerged from the ground in a very embarrassed manner.
The tragic Chitu with blood all over his body and the black soil with seriously injured legs, the survivors fell here, gasping heavily.
Obviously, they were the veteran Iwagakure ninjas who had managed to escape from the meteorite.
The moment he saw the meteorite falling, Chi Tu knew he was no match for his opponent, so he grabbed his own earth shadow Hei Tu, activated his earth escape technique, and dived madly underground to escape.
Everyone can die, but our own Tsuchikage may not die!
The Iwagakure Village is already in a period of transition, and if the Tsuchikage dies again, everything will be over.
Although they ran very quickly, they were unable to completely escape the shock wave of the falling meteorite. They were seriously injured by the aftermath and almost died underground.
"Junior sister, are you okay?"
"Cough - I'm not dead yet!" Heitu spat out a large amount of blood and his face turned pale.
"It's over, it's all over, is that Otsutsuki Sasuke? That kind of power, that's not even human...!"
Chi Tu murmured in despair. Facing such power, he could not muster the courage to resist...
"Otsutsuki Sasuke! I will kill you!"
"Ahem—!"
Kurotsuchi coughed up blood and swore loudly.
She didn't understand why her words of persuasion didn't work at all. The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Army were not wiped out, so why was her own army so miserable? They were wiped out right from the start, without giving them any chance to negotiate.
Is my oral sex technique really that bad?
Then how did Mei Terumi and Darui survive?
Forget about the former, but the latter’s skills are also better than mine?
……
...
Sasuke and Boruto instantly arrived at the location of the Sand Village troops hundreds of miles away.
But obviously, it was still a step too late.
Looking around, the area of several thousand meters around is already covered by a large area of trees. These are not normal trees, but giant vines formed by Wood Release.
Hanging on each vine were Sand Ninjas wrapped in wooden strips, like mummies.
It's just like all the Allied Ninjas who were hung up by Wood Release when the Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated at the end of the Fourth World War.
"Master, what is this?!!"
"It's probably Kaguya Otsutsuki's [Advent of the God of the Tree World]!"
In addition to the secret techniques and forbidden techniques developed by the ninjas, all bloodline-related ninjutsu and bloodline limits in the ninja world originate from Kaguya, the ancestor of chakra.
Even Hashirama's infamous Wood Release is no exception. Kaguya can perform it just as well, and even more powerfully!
"Why are they all entangled by Wood Release?"
"I was treated as a chakra blood bag by Kaguya and used to extract chakra."
Hashirama's Wood Release instinct can absorb and suppress the chakra of the tailed beasts, and Kaguya goes a step further and can even absorb the chakra of ninjas.
"Ah? He, they are all dead?"
"All dead."
Sasuke sensed it and got the answer.
This time Kaguya is not trying to create White Zetsu, so the method of using Wood Release to extract the chakra of these Sand Ninjas is obviously more brutal than during the Fourth War.
In just a few minutes, they drained all their chakra, sucking away the chakra and vitality of tens of thousands of Sand Ninjas.
"This... is too scary." Boruto was horrified.
As I said, Sasuke is just trying to unify the ninja world and find a way to survive for ninjas and humans.
As for Kaguya and Isshiki, they are purely trying to obtain the Chakra Fruit, even if it means killing all mankind and draining the entire planet.
The inherent contradictions and conflicts between the two sides are doomed to be impossible to mediate...
"Hmm? Is there anyone still alive?"
Sasuke sensed it a little and found a faint chakra aura.
Then he flew down from the sky, waved his hand and chopped a mummy wrapped in wooden strips into pieces, revealing the figure inside.
Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage.
He was still alive as expected, probably because he had a lot of chakra and Kaguya was in a hurry to leave, so she was unable to completely drain his chakra, allowing him to survive.
"Boruto, wake him up."
"what?"
Boruto was stunned, then did as he was told and pinched Gaara's philtrum, but found that he failed to wake him up.
So he used his ultimate move and slapped Gaara in the face several times.
There aren't many opportunities to slap my father's good friend Dangdai Fengying in the face!
The pain on his face slowly woke up the unconscious Gaara.
As a result, when I opened my eyes, I saw a little kid slapping himself wildly, which made Gaara very confused.
"Have I arrived in the Pure Land?"
"Why is the Pure Land so perverted? Even a little ghost can be so cruel?"
"Or is this the Pure Land's special way of welcoming newcomers?"
"Master, he's awake!"
Boruto stopped slapping and immediately announced the good news.
Only then did Gaara realize that this was not a pure land and that he was not dead yet. Then he saw Sasuke next to him.
"You are... Otsutsuki Sasuke? You and Kaguya..."
Gaara muttered the accusation, his heart suddenly filled with endless rage. He still mistook Sasuke for an Ōtsutsuki, mistakenly believing that he was in cahoots with Kaguya.
Sasuke was too lazy to talk nonsense, and as soon as the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan illusion was activated, he instantly controlled Gaara.
And obtained the desired information from his consciousness.
Just as Sasuke had guessed before.
Kaguya and the others came here just for the one-tailed beast Shukaku.
Gaara brought the One-Tail with him and led the Sand Village troops to speed up their journey, but as soon as they arrived here, they found a Yomi Hirasaka portal opened in the air.
Kaguya, Isshiki, and Aida came directly.
Then, without saying a word, Kaguya launched the Descent of the God of the Tree World, annihilating the entire Sand Village army and taking away the One-Tailed Shukaku.
Gaara only lasted three seconds before being defeated by Kaguya's Wood Release and was wrapped in wooden strips and captured.
He wasn't too sure about what happened next.
I don't know when Kaguya and the others left...
Of course, there is also a very important piece of news. When Kaguya and the others arrived, Gaara heard a piece of information: it was said that this was the last tailed beast.
"Master, how's it going?"
"very bad!"
"Shukaku, the one-tailed beast, has fallen into the hands of the enemy. And Ida is being carried by Isshiki, so Kawaki might not be able to get anything. The worst thing is that the enemy might have already gathered all the tailed beasts..."
The three pieces of news were worse than each other, making Sasuke frown.
He anticipated that Isshiki and his group would be able to capture the tailed beast quickly, but the actual speed was still too astonishing.
The Akatsuki organization had been working on this plan for more than ten years, but they completed it in just half a day.
As expected, having a full-map cheat like Clairvoyance is still too abnormal; I guess this half day was wasted because Clairvoyance needed to rest and could not be used continuously.
"Has the enemy already gathered all the tailed beasts?"
"What about father? The Kyuubi is still in his body!"
"By the way, after gathering all the tailed beasts, are they going to return to Konoha Village?"
"Kawaki, Sarada and the others are still in the village, they are in danger!"
Boruto immediately thought of many things and became very anxious. He wanted to rush back to Konoha Village to save people.
