Sand Village.

On the street.

The villagers were chatting and laughing; the atmosphere was peaceful and quiet.

Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky.

Boom!!

The figure fell on the street, smashing a big hole in the street, and smoke and dust rose up.

The villagers of Sand Village looked at it in panic: "What…what happened? What happened?"

The smoke and dust dissipated. Hitani, with white hair, a cloud-like battle robe, and a sword on his waist, stood expressionlessly in the center of the big hole.

The villagers of Sand Village were confused: "Who…who is this guy? He seems to have fallen from the sky."

"The landing point is just right," Hitani gently shook off the dust on his body.

At this time, a Sand Ninja stepped forward carefully and asked: "Hey, who are you? Where did you come from?"

Hitani glanced at him and released his spiritual pressure.

Buzz—a huge spiritual pressure instantly enveloped the entire street.

Plop.

Plop.

Plop.

All the villagers knelt down in an orderly manner, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces.

The Sand Ninja knelt on the ground and trembled: "My body…can't move…what's going on…" Hitani ignored him and walked straight towards the Kazekage Building.

...

On the Exploding Bird.

Deidara had already pulled out nearly a thousand explosive shurikens.

He looked at Hitani, who had successfully landed below, and said, "Mr. Hitani has landed safely. It's my turn to provide fire cover." After that, he threw explosive shurikens towards Sand Village.

One explosive shuriken after another fell into the Sand Village.

Boom boom boom boom!

Countless small mushroom clouds rose in the Sand Village in an instant.

More than a dozen houses were destroyed in an instant.

Many people were even blown away.

It was like being carpet bombed.

...

In the Kazekage's office.

Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, and several Sunagakure elders were having a meeting at the desk.

"About the village's military expenses," the Kazekage Gaara was presiding over the meeting. "I have applied to the Daimyo, but it has not been approved yet. Before that, we have to save money and recruit fewer ninjas recently." The hot-tempered Temari slammed the table and said, "The bastard Daimyo doesn't give us military expenses, but wants our military strength to surpass Konoha. Is there something wrong with their brains!"

Gaara's mouth twitched: "Temari, watch your words. If the Daimyo hears this, we will be in trouble."

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole meeting room suddenly shook violently.

Several people were almost shaken and couldn't stand.

Kankuro looked out the window in confusion: "What…what happened? Was it an earthquake just now?"

"How can there be an earthquake in a desert area?" Temari looked down on him.

With a bang, an Anbu broke through the door and rushed in: "Lord Kazekage! It's bad! An enemy has invaded the village!"

"Invasion?" Gaara and the others' faces changed.

"Who are they? How many people are here?" Kankuro asked immediately.

"It seems that there is only one person bombing us from the air," Anbu replied.

"A person…attacked our village?" Kankuro was stunned. Gaara and the others ran to the window to check.

Sure enough, a giant white bird was circling in the sky, with a man sitting on the bird, casting explosive shurikens downwards.

Gaara and his friends didn't say a word and immediately ran out to stop it.

Several people rushed out of the office, and Gaara immediately arranged tactics: "Notify all villagers to evacuate to the air defense facilities. Kankuro, you gather the ground troops to guard the canyon. Temari, gather the Anbu ground support, and I will use my flying ability to go up and fight the invaders."

"Yes!" When Temari was about to leave, she suddenly saw something that stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Gaara looked curiously in the direction where Temari was looking.

In front of them was the Sunagakure street.

At this moment, on the street, a white-haired man with a sword was standing there expressionlessly looking at them. It was Hitani.

Gaara immediately noticed something unusual: "A stranger I've never seen before. Who… are you?"

Hitani did not answer and slowly drew out his Zanpakutō.

Temari and Kankuro immediately stood in front of Gaara.

Temari had already entered combat mode: "You drew your sword against our Kazekage. It seems that you are also one of the invaders. Are you in the same group as the man who bombed the village in the sky?" Hitani still did not answer and slowly approached with a knife in hand.

"Stop!" Temari shouted, "Take another step forward and I'll attack you immediately!"

Hitani continued to walk forward as if he didn't hear her.

"A guy who doesn't listen to advice," Temari took out a large iron fan and waved it vigorously: "Wind Style: Kamaitachi!"

Hula!

Several sharp wind blades shot towards Hitani.

However, just as the wind blades were about to hit, Hitani disappeared from the spot and instantly appeared in front of Temari.

"Ah!" Temari screamed out of fear.

Hitani gently placed his palm on Temari's chest: "Hado Four, White Thunder."

A ball of thunder appeared at Hitani's fingertips and then exploded.

Boom!

"Ahhhhh!" Temari's whole body was convulsed by the electric shock. After a few screams, she collapsed to the ground, black smoke coming out of her body, motionless.

Hitani didn't even look at the unconscious Temari and continued to walk towards Gaara.

Gaara's face changed: "Temari was killed in an instant, this guy is not an ordinary ninja."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kankuro rushed directly towards Hitani.

Gaara was shocked: "Kankuro! Don't be reckless, retreat!"

"How dare you hurt my sister!" Kankuro untied the bandage puppet behind him: "The secret of the operation, the crow puppet——"

"Hado No. 32, Red Fire Cannon." Before he finished speaking, Hitani had already stepped behind Kankuro and placed his palm on Kankuro's back. A red ball of light condensed in Hitani's palm and then exploded.

Boom!

Kankuro was blown away more than ten meters, knocking down a civilian house, and then there was no movement.

"Kankuro!" Gaara was stunned.

After a while, he came back to his senses and stared at Hitani nervously.

Hitani also looked at him.

The two looked at each other.

But Hitani was very calm. Gaara was quite nervous.

After a while, Gaara started to inquire about the information: "Who are you, why did you attack me? What is the reason?"
