Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 207 The Terror of Xiao

The village of Sunagakure was quite lively in the evening.

At this time, a busy day's work had just ended, and all the ninjas and villagers were leisurely waiting for dinner, and everyone was in a good mood.

As a massive shadow fell upon them, everyone in Sunagakure involuntarily stopped talking and looked up at the sky, where the shadow seemed to blot out the sun.

"What...is that?"

A Sand Ninja stared blankly at the ancient dragon in the sky.

In the world of the Sand Ninja, the largest creature they had ever seen was Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, and they had never seen a creature as enormous as an ancient dragon.

"What kind of monster is that?"

"Does the Land of Wind have such monsters?"

"Why does it look even bigger than a tailed beast?"

"Go and report to Lord Kazekage immediately!"

The expressions of the Sand Ninja gradually changed. After a period of commotion, they hurriedly headed towards the Kazekage's office.

The sentries stationed within Sunagakure had also spotted the ancient dragon, but they were clearly more rational and immediately reported it to their superiors.

In the Kazekage's office in Sunagakure.

The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, was still working overtime handling government affairs. Although the Sand Village's administrative area was somewhat small, there were plenty of messy and troublesome things going on.

A shadow suddenly fell by the window, and the room went dark for a few seconds. Gaara put down his pen in surprise and slowly walked to the window.

"What happened?"

Gaara looked up and gazed out the window.

In Gaara's view, a colossal creature slowly took flight over Sunagakure. A moment later, it suddenly unleashed a massive fireball toward the Kazekage's office!

Boom!

In a panic, Gaara hastily manipulated his sand defense, but the haphazard sand wall was instantly blasted through by the huge fireball!

next moment.

The entire Fengying office was instantly reduced to ruins!

The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, was thrown back by the shockwave of the explosion, his body bearing several wounds from which blood oozed...

"Enemy attack!"

Finally, the first Sand Ninja called out.

The shouts echoed throughout the entire Sand Village.

Within seconds, the alarm had spread throughout the village, and civilians rushed to shelters, while the ninjas returned to their battle posts.

"roar!"

The ancient dragon in the sky opened its blood-red maw and roared once more, and another huge fireball fell to the ground!

Boom!

A dozen or so ninjas gathered together were instantly blasted away by the fireball!

Facing a group of ninjas on the ground, the ancient dragon flying in the air suppressed them far too easily; it only needed to strike casually to eliminate a group of enemies!

The ancient dragon roared, and another series of huge fireballs rained down on Sunagakure, turning the once peaceful village into a scene of chaos and destruction!

Because Uehara Naraku and his group were riding the ancient dragon so high and arriving so fast, Sunagakure had no time to notice them before being attacked.

Ordinary ninjas are of no use against such a huge flying creature.

"roar!"

A Sand Village Jonin who barely managed to jump to a high place was about to launch an attack when he was instantly killed by the roar of the ancient dragon!

Seeing all this, Sunagakure Jonin Baki hurriedly issued orders: "Quickly, organize ranged units to counterattack! Everyone attack that monster in the air! Anbu ninja, hurry to the Kazekage's office to rescue Lord Kazekage!"

In fact, Gaara is not seriously injured.

After being hit by the first fireball explosion, he only suffered wounds to his arm and chest. Once he regained consciousness, Gaara hurriedly manipulated the yellow sand to sweep upwards!

As the Kazekage, he must protect the village when a crisis occurs.

"The Giant Hand of Sand!"

Under Gaara's control, a mass of yellow sand formed a giant sand hand, which reached out to grab the ancient dragon in the sky!

However, the ancient dragon merely glanced at the incoming giant hand, then leisurely flicked its tail, shattering the sand giant hand into pieces.

Whoosh!

A clump of yellow sand fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!

"roar!"

The ancient dragon opened its maw once more and spewed out a massive fireball!

The fireball fell like a meteorite!

Gaara swiftly moved a large swath of yellow sand to shield the village of Sunagakure from the fireball's attack.

The shockwave from the explosion sent yellow sand flying everywhere!

Fortunately, the explosive force of the fireball was blocked by the aerial shield wall formed by the yellow sand.

Gaara breathed a sigh of relief and maneuvered the sand swarm through the air, intercepting the fireballs spewed by the ancient dragon.

Even if some distant fireballs cannot be stopped, the core of Sunagakure Village, which is close at hand, will not be attacked again.

that's enough.

The next step is to launch a counterattack!

"Sand mat!"

Gaara felt a little relieved and flew into the air on the sand mat. Faced with an enemy that could fly, he could only try to eliminate this threat to Sunagakure by himself!

To be honest, I'm not very confident.

However, such creatures also have certain weaknesses.

Because of their large size, they become easy targets for attack.

If the fight continues, even if Gaara cannot kill this ancient dragon, he is confident that he can drive it away.

However, after Gaara flew into the sky, he finally saw the real enemy: four people dressed in black robes with auspicious clouds stood on the body of the ancient dragon!

Deidara, a rogue ninja from Iwagakure; Sasori, a rogue ninja from Sunagakure.

And two unidentified enemies wearing hoods.

"dawn!"

Gaara's expression suddenly changed.

As the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Gaara had already obtained some information about Akatsuki from Konoha's allies, and each enemy possessed extraordinary strength.

Even a single Akatsuki squad was enough to keep Sunagakure busy, and now the Akatsuki has sent two squads to attack Sunagakure!

They even have such a huge monster!

This ancient dragon could easily be considered the ultimate weapon to destroy a country. I never expected that the Akatsuki would bring such a monster to attack Sunagakure!

Since the incident in the Land of Grass, the Akatsuki organization has been in hiding.

Unexpectedly, the Akatsuki organization has been accumulating power all along. Perhaps this giant dragon is what the Akatsuki organization has been searching for over the years.

Gaara's face turned incredibly ugly. Facing four members of Akatsuki and a terrifying dragon monster, his chances of winning were pitifully low.

Atop the ancient dragon, a hooded figure slowly approached, looking at Gaara with a light laugh and saying, "Tsk, I never expected the target would deliver himself to our doorstep..."

"That's amazing!"

Sasori, seeing Gaara flying up, spoke in a deep voice, "A mere Kazekage dares to appear before us alone..."

There were four people present, and two of them killed the Kazekage on their own.

Uehara Naraku and Sasori Akasuna are both veterans who have killed the Kazekage!

Moreover, Sasori of the Red Sand also possesses the puppets of the Third and Fourth Kazekage, allowing him to unleash near-peak power in this desert environment.

To be honest, Gaara was a little unwise.

If all four members present attacked simultaneously, Sunagakure could already be electing the Sixth Kazekage...

However, everyone present was more proud than the last.

Deidara, in particular, has become so proud that he's become arrogant.

"Then leave it to me!"

Deidara toyed with a clay bird in his hand, grinning, "Perfect timing, let him experience my art!"

Deidara was feeling a bit down just now.

After all, he used to enjoy piloting aerial behemoths and dropping bombs, but now the ancient dragon has stolen his thunder.

How can this be?

Doesn't this mean he won without lifting a finger?

Deidara can't accept this!

Just then, the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, flew into the air, which was practically a perfect opportunity for Deidara to vent his frustrations.

Sasori of the Red Sand stood beside Deidara, looking at the confident Deidara, and couldn't help but say, "Deidara, are you sure you can do this? Although the Kazekage are all useless, this one seems to be different..."

"Let him go!"

Uehara Naraku chuckled lightly, waving his hand dismissively, "Anyway, as long as Deidara doesn't die, I can bring him back!"

"You bastard!"

Deidara turned around and cursed. He knew the meaning behind Uehara Naraku's words. With Uehara Naraku, a medical ninja, around, it meant he could fight without restraint.

A giant clay bird appeared beneath Deidara's feet, carrying him towards Gaara's direction, and the two instantly engaged in a spectacular aerial duel!

The only difference is...

Deidara has teammates behind him and can fight without restraint, while Gaara has to find a way to deal with the ancient dragon soaring in the sky.

After all, the ninjas of Sunagakure not only couldn't provide Gaara with any assistance, but instead became a burden to him.

How the hell is Gaara supposed to fight this?

Of course, we'd fight to the death!

"Archery units!"

Ma Ji stood near a group of archers, directing a group of ninjas operating the outdated defensive weapons of Sunagakure. His voice was hoarse as he shouted, "Aim! Shoot down all the enemies in the air!"

Honestly, Maki was a little desperate.

That ancient dragon didn't look like something they could shoot down with ordinary bows and crossbows. Even if they could inflict wounds, it would probably feel like being pricked by a needle to the ancient dragon.

But his disciple Gaara is still fighting!

Should we just give up like this?

Something has to be done!

"Sunagakure ninja, look at the despair on your faces!"

Standing atop the ancient dragon's head, Uehara Naraku coldly declared, "Having lost the will to fight, do you still intend to resist Akatsuki's arrival?"

"Ignore him! Launch the attack immediately!"

Maki urged all the archers to aim at the ancient dragon at the same time. In Maki's opinion, this dragon was much more troublesome than Deidara's clay bird!

Arrows flew swiftly toward the ancient dragon!

However, their attacks couldn't even penetrate the dragon's body; they were blocked by its own scales.

One after another, huge crossbow bolts fell to the ground, causing the hearts of the Sand Village ninjas to sink deeper and deeper.

Maki quickly adjusted his strategy and shouted, "Change targets! Attack that large white bird first and aid Lord Kazekage!"

"roar!"

Uehara Naraku didn't bother with it and manipulated the ancient dragon to spew fireballs at the archer troops of Sunagakure, destroying these ranged units that could threaten Deidara!

The ancient dragon wiped out all the archer troops, then flew down to the open ground and roared fiercely towards the village of Sunagakure!

"roar!"

A deafening sonic wave swept through the entire Sand Village!

Countless Sand Village ninjas who tried to rush towards the ancient dragon were all blasted away by the ancient dragon!

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Wind Release: Kamaitachi!"

Even when some Sand Ninjas occasionally charged in using their positioning and unleashed a barrage of ninjutsu on the Ancient Dragon, it had virtually no effect on it.

The ancient dragon slowly opened its mouth and spewed out a huge fireball, leaving a deep ravine on the land of Sunagakure, like a scar etched on the body of this great ninja village!

"That was so relaxing."

Uehara Naraku sat atop the ancient dragon, watching the summoning beast wreak havoc in Sunagakure and witnessing his Dark Harvest escalate wildly.

All of this will become his capital to fight against Six Paths level ninjas in the future.

"Next up are Deidara and that brat Kazekage."

Sasori of the Red Sand raised his head, looking at Gaara and Deidara locked in fierce combat in the air, and slowly said, "I hope that Deidara guy doesn't play around for too long..."

"We still have plenty of time."

Uehara Naraku glanced at the Sand Village ninja who were being blown away by the ancient dragon's wings as they charged again, and said softly, "It seems that there's nothing in Sunagakure that can threaten us. Let Deidara-senpai have some fun!"
