I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

But when you find out afterwards that the other person was Tyson, don't you immediately feel much better and less frustrated and indignant?

"I won't be careless this time!"

Hidan had an arrogant look on his face, a typical example of someone who doesn't learn from mistakes.

Shinji didn't even bother to look at him; he had to rely on himself to deal with a top-tier cursed spirit.

Hidan?

It's just a free-roaming dog.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, in Sunagakure, within the Land of Wind.

"Lord Kazekage, the reconnaissance team has sent intelligence that another village has been massacred. The bodies have all been dried out and are in a mummified state. It is suspected that the perpetrator is codenamed 'Sand Spirit'."

Rasa's face was grim. "Have Maki choose two partners to form a Jonin team. Give him twenty Chunin as well. They must find 'Sarei.' Once they find it, try to capture it. If it's too difficult, bring the body back to me!"

"Yes, Lord Kazekage!"

After everyone left, Rasa felt extremely heartbroken when he thought of the two Jonin who had sacrificed their lives.

At first, capturing those unidentified creatures went smoothly.

The newly established research and development department has even begun to conduct several experiments, such as using those unknown creatures to make puppets, or extracting some new toxins. Some even have the wild idea of ​​sealing those monsters in the human body and then mass-producing cheap pseudo-Jinchūriki.

In short, the research topics are incredibly diverse.

Of course, it will take time to see results.

However, as time went on, not only did these monsters grow very rapidly, but some slightly different ones also emerged...

The monster codenamed 'Sand Spirit' is a particularly unique one.

He wore a tattered black robe, with two thick chains crossed and bound to his body. A red ribbon with inscrutable runes was tied around the central ring. A golden hourglass hung at his waist, and he held a strangely shaped snake sword in his hand.

In his first appearance, he killed two Jonin, turned several Chunin and Genin into mummies, and finally rescued the batch of captured experimental subjects.

[Chapter 70. The Land of Wind]

A few days later, Shinji and Hidan successfully entered the Land of Wind.

The Land of Wind is arguably the largest of the Five Great Nations in terms of land area, but deserts occupy the majority of its territory. Annual rainfall is also scarce, and the people live in villages built in oases within the desert.

Ninjas trained in such harsh, dusty environments possess exceptionally strong wills and a fierce fighting spirit; their culture can be described as valiant.

"Pah, pah..."

"Such a strong sandstorm is really annoying!"

Hidan spat out the sand in his mouth while complaining.

“Close your mouth, and the sand won’t blow into it. If you keep dawdling, we won’t reach the nearest village before dark.” Shinji lowered the brim of his hat, his expression equally helpless.

There was no other way; the environment in the Land of Wind was simply too harsh.

They had been walking for so long, and all they could see around them was desert.

Oh, right, and the sand scorpions that bring surprises from time to time.

Feeling the tremors beneath his feet, Shinji sighed, drew the guillotine from his back, and immediately leaped to the side.

The instant he leaped up, a huge sand scorpion emerged from the sand beneath his feet, its two gleaming pincers lunging straight at Shinji.

But Shinji, who had anticipated this, was even faster.

The decapitation blade came crashing down, splitting the sand scorpion in two before its pincers could clamp down on it. Green fluid quickly seeped into the sand, and the corpse would soon be swallowed up.

"It's this stuff again!"

Hidan kicked away the scorpion pincers dangling in front of him, his face full of disdain.

He had completely forgotten the embarrassing scene when he was almost dragged into the sand by a sand scorpion the first time he entered the desert.

"Hurry up and go. These sand scorpions live in groups. If we keep going, it will just waste our time."

Shinji shook off the green liquid clinging to his Executioner's Blade, then slung it back over his shoulder and quickly made his way away.

Hidan pursed his lips but didn't refute, and immediately followed.

He's starting to hate this place more and more.

Shortly after they left, a group of sand scorpions came and began to tear and gnaw at the corpse of the sand scorpion, and soon they all disappeared.

Once the wind blew by, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

As the sun gradually set, Shinji and Hidan finally arrived at the nearest village before nightfall.

It's amazing that such a miracle exists in the desert, built in a small oasis.

Who are you?

As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, two Sand Village ninjas with their heads covered stood guard in front of them, looking very wary.

The main problem is that Shinji and Hidan's appearances are too intimidating. One carries a sword taller than a person, and the other carries a terrifying and ferocious crescent scythe. Even though Shinji has made Hidan put away his rogue ninja headband, they still don't look like good people.

"We are wandering ninjas. Things have been quite unsettled around here lately, so we're looking to see if there's any work around here to earn some money."

Although Shinji's words did not lower their guard, the two Sand Village ninjas instinctively showed contempt and disdain upon hearing that they were wandering ninjas.

That's normal, since generally only people who can't make it in a ninja village, or whose ninja village has been destroyed, become wandering ninjas.

What real skills can you expect from these people?

At most, they can only bully ordinary people and act as bodyguards and thugs for the rich, which makes them despicable!

"Come on, come on, there's no work for you here."

"Wandering ninjas should go to those small countries and become lackeys for those uncultured, nouveau riche bumpkins!"

"Do you know where this is? This is the Land of Wind! Our Sand Village doesn't need outsiders' help."

The two of them talked back and forth, their attitudes somewhat condescending.

Hidan's eyes looked a little off, and he turned to ask, "Can I cut them down?"

Shinji looked around. "There are too many people here. It's not going to end easily. Let's wait a bit."

The main reason is that he hasn't found the cursed spirit yet, and he doesn't want to make a big fuss about it for the time being.

"Hey, what are you two whispering about over there? Get out of here!"

Just as Shinji was considering whether to lure the two away and kill them first, a riot seemed to have broken out in the village.

"The monster has been found!"

"Run!"

"Mommy, I want my mommy."

"Listen up, everyone, don't panic. Evacuate to a safe place first, and leave the rest to us."

"Scroll, prepare to seal!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, the two Sand Village ninjas guarding the gate no longer cared about driving Shinji and Hidan away; they immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.

Clearly, their appearance in this small village was no accident, and Sunagakure, which had begun to focus on elites, did not have that many ninja stationed around.

They came to investigate and make arrests after receiving information that people were going missing in the area.

"Let's go in and take a look."

This time, no one stopped them, and Shinji and Hidan quickly arrived at the battle site.

"Quickly, don't let a single monster escape."

"Try to capture them alive, to create an opportunity for Juan!"

"Watch out for the monster's claws; they're highly poisonous."

A two-meter-tall, muscular man wearing a headscarf and sunglasses was loudly directing a mixed squad of seven or eight Chunin and Genin to control the puppets and surround them.

Above them was a woman dressed similarly, holding a roll of cloth and looking for an opportunity.

Surrounded by these Sand Village ninjas was a cursed spirit that looked like a mummy, its entire body bound in grayish-white bandages, revealing only a pair of lifeless eyes, and its hands were sharp claws like those of a wild beast.

If he were the only cursed spirit, there would be no need for such a grand display.

But within the encirclement, one mummy after another mechanically and stiffly emerged from the house.

Those missing villagers were all turned into a mummy army and became his subordinates.

At a glance, there are at least twenty or more!

If he continues to be given the opportunity to endlessly mass produce troops, the entire Land of Wind may fall.

Fortunately, it was discovered early.

Moreover, these newly made mummies were clearly not as strong as the originals, which relieved many people.

The battle proceeded rather uneventfully.

The Mummy Curse Spirit is terrifying because it spawns soldiers and has claws that are infused with a deadly poisonous curse.

Even a Jonin who gets scratched could die if he doesn't receive timely treatment.

However, the puppets used by the Sand Village ninja completely countered this ability of the mummy cursed spirit.

Even the most potent poison curse is useless against an inanimate puppet.

So one by one, the mummy soldiers were dismembered and killed, and soon only the culprit remained.

"roll!"

The woman, who was already prepared, immediately threw out the long cloth in her hand.

"Binding Technique!"

The long, wide white cloth instantly wrapped the mummy cursed spirit inside.
