Chapter 67: Fierce Battle in the Sand Village
Hidden Sand Village, Kazekage's Office.
This is the central building of the Sand Village, with an exterior of earthy yellow architecture.
It serves not only as the administrative center for the Kazekage and the top leadership of the Sand, but also as the storage place for all Ninjutsu and data of the Sand.
"Lord Kazekage, Lady Chiyo."
"Just now, we captured this kid outside the village. He claims to be a ninja sent by Lady Chiyo to support us."
After bringing Yu into the Kazekage's office, the Sand Shinobi Kizo immediately reported to the present Fourth Kazekage Rasa and Chiyo.
"A ninja I sent out?"
"No, I've never seen this kid before..."
At these words, Chiyo was slightly puzzled, but she quickly reacted. The wise and aged eyes stared at Yu, who was bound all over.
"Kid, which village do you come from?"
"Hehe..."
However, the response to Chiyo was a playful smile from Yu.
"Hmph... You really are a spy from another village. Fortunately, I saw through you in time!"
Upon hearing Chiyo's words, the Sand Shinobi Kizo smirked at Yu. "Not talking, huh? It's okay... Sand's interrogation department has plenty of ways to make you speak!"
"Oh dear... caught red-handed, huh."
Facing the threat from Kizo, Yu, bound all over, remained unfazed. Instead, he gave a helpless smile, and a dangerous edge flashed in his amber eyes. "Wouldn't it be better to let me stroll in openly? Why force me to resort to this..."
"Be careful!!"
Sensing the danger in Yu's gaze, Chiyo, the most experienced in the room, reacted first.
Monochrome Threads!
But it was too late; an incredibly sharp thread cut through the air, and Yu directly sliced Kizo, who was beside him, into two at the waist!
"Protect Lord Kazekage and Lady Chiyo!!"
Witnessing the sudden turn of events, all the Hidden Sand individuals around immediately reacted, reflexively forming a protective circle around Fourth Kazekage Rasa and Chiyo.
"No matter what..."
Utilizing the abilities of the Thread Fruit, instantly cutting through the ropes and sealing tools on his body, Yu ignored all the surrounding Sand Shinobi who had closed in on him. Indifferently addressing the now lifeless body of Kizo at his feet, he said, "Still, I must thank you for successfully leading me into the Sand Village..."
"You broke the seals without using Chakra..."
The vast room was suddenly filled with numerous Hidden Sand individuals, all staring at Yu, who remained unfazed despite being surrounded by so many. Chiyo, with keen interest, spoke up, "Quite an interesting young devil... What's your name?"
"No wonder you're the Flower of Shinobi buried in the Sand for many years without decay..."
"It seems that no matter what changes in the situation, it won't faze you, Lady Chiyo."
However, Yu did not directly answer Chiyo's question. Activating the abilities of the Thread Fruit, he forcefully kicked out eight nearly transparent thread-like strands from under his feet, sweeping away three nearby ninjas who had closed in!
"But today, my purpose in coming here is not to assassinate you and Lord Kazekage."
As he spoke, Yu's right hand formed a claw, and with a swift motion, the Five-Colored Threads he unleashed directly cut through the bodies of the two Sand Shinobi charging towards him, soaking the floor beneath in blood.
This was the truth. Even if he were more naive, he wouldn't be arrogant enough to believe that he could successfully assassinate the Fourth Kazekage and Chiyo alone at the center of the Hidden Sand Village.
Fourth Kazekage Rasa, despite appearing weak in the original story, was, in fact, a genuine Kage-level ninja, silently killed by Orochimaru on the roadside.
As for Chiyo, there was no need for many words. She was the grandmother of Sasori of the Red Sand, one of the world's most outstanding puppet masters in the Naruto universe. In her hands, she could summon the masterpiece of the Puppet Master Founding Clan's master, Monzaemon Chikamatsu— the Ten Puppet Brigade, and even had the capability to conquer a city.
At the scene, with two Kage, plus all the elite ninja of the Hidden Sand Village, it would be a close match even if faced with someone at the Super Kage Level.
"Everyone, be cautious! This guy is a bit tricky..."
Seeing Yu swiftly kill so many ninjas in front of them, a nearby Sand Shinobi were both shocked and angry, loudly alerting everyone.
"Oh? Wasn't it for assassination?"
Upon hearing Yu's words, Chiyo looked silently at the white-haired youth surrounded by numerous Hidden Sand individuals. "Then, what is your purpose in infiltrating the Sand, risking your life?"
"Using threads in combat..."
However, as Chiyo witnessed the astonishing combat power displayed by Yu, a hint of surprise appeared on her face. "A truly unique ability... I didn't expect to capture a wielder of a Kekkei Genkai today."
"Heh... It's too early to discuss that now."
Listening to Chiyo's words beside him, Yu's mouth curled into a playful smile.
As he spoke, he rapidly shot threads from his fingertips, bursting another Sand Shinobi's head.
"Talk to me when you can actually catch me!"
This guy...
Does he really think he can escape from here alive?
Feeling the confidence in Yu's words, Chiyo was astonished. With herself and Fourth Kazekage Rasa, both Kage-level ninja, and so many elite Sand Shinobi present, could this white-haired boy truly believe he had a chance to struggle for his life?
"That's enough!"
"It's truly unsightly!"
At this moment, a stern and angry voice resounded, coming from none other than Fourth Kazekage Rasa standing nearby.
Seeing that so many elite Sand Shinobi in the room couldn't subdue a seven or eight-year-old boy for quite some time, Rasa finally felt that he couldn't maintain his dignity any longer.
"This is the Kazekage's conference room! How can it be in such chaos!"
Magnet Release: Gold Sand Shuriken!
As soon as his words fell, Fourth Kazekage Rasa took direct action.
A vast amount of golden sand surged into the air, swiftly forming numerous sharp shurikens that shot towards Yu, who was currently in combat with a group of Sand Shinobi.
Magnet Release is a secret Kekkei Genkai of the Sand, utilizing the magnetic forces in Chakra to control denser sand particles. Fourth Kazekage Rasa could even use Magnet Release to suppress the rampaging One-Tailed Shukaku, showcasing its tremendous power.
Thread Bound Shield!
The Kazekage took action, and it was no ordinary move. Sensing the formidable Ninjutsu employed by Fourth Kazekage Rasa, Yu extended his hand forward, releasing countless threads that instantly formed an impenetrable defense shield!
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
The immensely powerful Gold Sand Shuriken burst upon Yu's Thread Bound Shield, producing a series of crisp metallic impact sounds. The Thread Bound Shield, made from specially crafted threads by Yu, possessed enough strength to withstand the majority of physical attacks.
"Since you insist on resisting... then I'll just kill you outright!"
Seeing Yu unexpectedly block his Ninjutsu, Fourth Kazekage Rasa felt even more embarrassed on his face, and a burst of killing intent erupted from his eyes.
"Magnet Release: Gold Sand Wave!"
The enraged Kage-level ninja took action, and the entire Kazekage's conference room surged with a vast amount of golden sand. Like rolling waves, it enclosed Yu from all directions.
"Tsk... Truly fitting for Gaara's old man"
Faced with the surging waves of golden sand returning from all directions, Yu had no space to evade. He was directly enveloped, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his Jonin face.
"I can't use all my abilities like the main body, after all... Getting completely outmatched in expected."
Main body? What does that mean?!
Hearing Yu's words uttered just before his death, Rasa, Chiyo, and all the Sand Shinobi present were stunned. Could it be... this guy?!
Especially Fourth Kazekage Rasa, as the spikes formed from the golden sand pierced through Yu's body, the expression on his face immediately changed...
