Chapter 55: Annihilation

Upon hearing the sudden sound of cannons on Cardan Island and feeling the trembling of the earth at the same time, the three Jōnin suddenly changed their faces and watched in horror as more than a hundred huge cannonballs flew over and rushed towards the buildings they were carrying.

They thought there was no defense on Cardan Island, but did not expect the other party to be waiting for them, deliberately letting them in and then giving an illusion to the large army behind.

"What to do?" the ninjas below asked themselves as they watched. Although they already knew what to do, it still depended on the disposition of the three leaders.

For this mission, nearly half of the ninjas from each clan were sent for this mission.

"According to the plan, we must find their defensive artillery, destroy it and land with the army behind," said one of the leaders.

The three ninjas looked at each other, uttered a word and planned to leave their respective superiors, but a sudden dry wind blew in the dense forest.

"What happened?" asked the three surprised leaders. This is the sea country, and they had never felt such dry air here before.

"Erosion cycle," said the voice of a man coming from the jungle. The grass and trees on the ground quickly turned yellow, and then the ground and rocks also cracked and weathered rapidly at a visible speed.

In just a few breaths, the green and deep jungle turned into golden yellow, and the moist land of the island also turned into soft quicksand as the ninjas watched.

"How is this possible?" the ninjas wondered, seeming to have seen a ghost. They even wondered if they had fallen into an illusion.

But then, those withered trees, followed by golden leaves, suddenly moved, as if mobilized, separated from the branches and gathered in the sky in the distance.

"What? Impossible! Look!" exclaimed a ninja, raising his head, only to see an enormous tornado in the depth of the forest, growing rapidly towards them.

"How is that?!" All the ninjas of the three clans wondered, their eyes terrified and their scalp numb.

The sandstorm was like an open abyss, tearing up all the grass and trees in the jungle, and even smaller rocks were involved and crushed in an instant.

The suddenness of the sandstorm arrived, and the ninjas found that only a few breaths had passed and it was already close to the front.

"Run!" shouted the three Jōnin upon seeing the sandstorm heading towards them. They quickly dispersed to escape it.

However, when the sandstorm arrived, it had already become enormous, and the entire cliff had been occupied by the sandstorm, and there was no escape.

The Genin who were not very strong were the first to suffer. The strong wind rolled the rocks directly, and the whistling of the hurricane covered all their lamentations.

This hurricane is like a natural disaster, it is too late for these ninjas to show their ninjutsu.

"Run into the sea!"

Seeing this, the three Jōnin did not dare to resist, gritted their teeth and jumped into the sea again.

When other ninjas saw this, they all jumped in one after another. On the way, many of them lost their center of gravity and were dragged into the eye of the wind by the hurricane. The strong tearing force at the center of the hurricane instantly crushed everything inside like a knife.

The ninjas who had successfully escaped to the sea watched all this and were instantly horrified. At the same time, they also secretly rejoiced in having escaped earlier, otherwise they would have been one of them.

"Is there anyone in there?"

In the hurricane, the ninjas vaguely seemed to see a figure, a figure biting a cigarette.

The ninjas looked at him distrustfully.

"Damn it, retreat, this is out of control, everyone run."

A Jōnin reacted first, growled lowly and quickly stepped into the sea without looking back and fled into the distance. The others were stunned and followed his example.

In the center of the hurricane, Crocodile's body had turned into sand. Looking at the ninjas fleeing like ants in the distance, he scoffed, escaped from the sandstorm and projected it forward. The hurricane quickly grew again, and even showed signs of being out of control.

Crocodile's face went crazy because of this, biting his cigarette hard and, using his final control over the sandstorm, pushed it out of Cardan Island.

Under Crocodile's control, the storm had formed, constantly absorbing the surrounding sea breeze. After coming into contact with sea water, it quickly absorbed the sea water below. Along with the push before Crocodile finally escaped control, he turbulently left Cardan Island. He quickly ran into the sea.

The terrifying wind stirred up the sea, and the originally calm sea also formed a huge vortex due to the hurricane.

Those ninjas who had just moved away not too far, many immediately fell into the water due to the turbulence of the sea, and were caught in the storm by the water below, frightening the others and accelerating their speed, but the speed of the storm was too fast. The sea water continued to accumulate in the storm, even three Jōnin could not escape the pursuit of the storm.

"No!"

Innumerable people were unwilling to be attracted by the storm with the flow of water, roaring, but the sound of the storm quickly overwhelmed them. Only one encounter, the team of more than 100 ninjas formed by three clans was completely annihilated.
