Seeing that the target of this mission had finally been sealed, the Sand Village ninja present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although there were no casualties among them, it was because they were highly focused and coordinated.
A battle might not deplete much chakra, but the mental stress can be considerable.
"Clean up the battlefield and seal up anything of value to take back with you."
The burly man wearing sunglasses gave loud orders, and the others immediately got to work.
Even though this burly man in sunglasses didn't do much fighting in the previous battles, every move he made was precisely to plug the gaps in the encirclement, and every attack he made was effective, either to save people or to kill enemies.
He was like a pillar of strength, and as long as the battle was ongoing and his powerful voice echoed in everyone's ears, he could give everyone a lot of confidence.
It's clear that he is highly respected by others.
Even Maki, who was also a Jonin, greatly respected this senior member of the sealing team.
Moreover, it is said that in order to reward his contributions to the village over the years, a desert in the Land of Wind was simply named after him.
Abbreviation: Malego... (Fill in the blank yourself)
"Thank you for your hard work, Juan."
The man carrying a large bundle of cloth quickly shook his head. "Brother Mahler has really worked hard. The successful capture this time is all thanks to your prior investigation and command."
"Let's not brag to each other here. Your strength is obvious to everyone, otherwise the higher-ups wouldn't have agreed to promote you to Jonin so quickly."
Wearing sunglasses, Mahler patted Juan's shoulder with his palm, which was as big as a fan, almost knocking her to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately joked, "Brother Mahler, you'd better go easy on him. You won't be able to afford to pay for it if you break it."
"It's okay if you can't afford to pay compensation. Come to our Puppet Squad. Everyone in Sunagakure knows that our Puppet Squad has the best treatment. Only after that will the Sealing Squad be considered."
"Get lost! Trying to poach someone's older brother right in front of that girl, how shameless is that!"
"I don't know if it was hurtful or not, but I know that those two slaps I just landed definitely made someone feel bad~"
"What are you looking at me for? Get out of here, get out of here!"
"Hahaha, this kid actually blushed!"
These Sand Village ninjas chatted and laughed, but at the same time they were seriously searching and cleaning up the scene, not even letting go of some corpses or remains.
But then, an unexpected turn of events disrupted everything.
No one noticed that the special cloth binding the mummy's cursed spirit had begun to show signs of tearing, and it was still struggling inside!
Suddenly, a tearing sound!
The mummy cursed spirit used its claws and brute force to tear open the cloth seal on its body.
Just like how the Sand Village ninjas used puppets to counter the opponent's claws and poison, Maki's proud Cloth Binding Technique sealing technique has finally met its match.
Because this mummy spirit was wrapped in some special cloth to continue existing, it has a very high resistance to sealing techniques like cloth binding, and may even have gotten used to them.
The mummy's escape from its curse caught everyone off guard.
Before anyone else could react, the mummy cursed spirit went straight for the scroll that had just sealed it.
He wants revenge!
Because Juan was facing away from the mummy's cursed spirit, it was too late by the time she realized the danger.
Fortunately, Mahler happened to see this scene. Without thinking, he pushed the scroll away, calmed himself down, crossed his arms in front of him, stomped hard on the ground, and leaped diagonally backward.
Swish!
The mummy's cursed spirit struck with its claw, leaving several long, bloody welts on Mahler's arm.
But that's all.
Seemingly knowing that it would have no chance to escape if it didn't flee, the mummy cursed spirit did not try to kill Mahler and Juan again. Instead, it shot out the bandages on its body, wrapped them around a distant pillar, and then carried itself there.
He had tried this method before, but obviously no one would give him that opportunity.
Unlike now, when everyone is caught off guard.
"Damn it! That guy's trying to escape!"
"Quickly stop him! That's the direction the villagers are taking refuge!"
"Damn it, he's too fast, I can't catch him!"
"Try to shoot him down, or cut the bandage he's shooting out."
It's easy to say, but very few people can actually do it.
This is where the weaknesses of the puppet troops became apparent: they lacked mobility and had virtually no other capabilities besides the puppets themselves.
Just when everyone thought the mission was going to fail and might even implicate innocent villagers, a red moon pierced the sky!
With a whooshing sound, the bandages used by the mummy's cursed spirit for rapid movement were precisely severed, causing it to fall to the ground.
Then, a figure appeared below, waiting there from who-knows-when.
A massive, ridiculously long, gleaming sword was gripped tightly in my hand...
Beheading! Execution!
Shinji swung the Executioner's Blade with force, then precisely sliced across the mummy's cursed spirit's neck.
pat...
The severed body fell to the ground, and the round head rolled a great distance away.
"Mud Sealing Technique: Tea Cauldron Sealing!"
Despite his arm injury, Mahler rushed over and immediately cast a sealing spell. A large amount of soil surged up and enveloped the mummy's still slightly twitching body, eventually transforming into a brown tea cauldron, successfully sealing it away.
The one following behind, Juan, dared not be careless. She once again swung out the long cloth in her hand and sealed the head that had rolled down in front of her tightly, layer upon layer.
Now everything should be foolproof.
The Sand Village ninja present experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, nearly giving them a heart attack.
Fortunately, it didn't turn into a major disaster.
Of course, all of this is thanks to the two people who came to our aid at the crucial moment...
"It's you?!"
"Didn't I tell you to leave immediately? How dare you barge in like this!"
The two guards at the gate immediately recognized Shinji and Hidan, mainly because their appearances were so eye-catching that it would be hard for anyone not to remember them.
"Be careful!"
"what is going on?"
Mahler frowned slightly.
"These two are just wandering ninjas who happened to be passing by. We stopped them outside earlier, but we didn't expect them to sneak in when we weren't paying attention."
"Yes, they're acting suspiciously; they must be up to something. Maybe their 'wandering ninja' identity is fake, and they might be spies sent by another ninja village..."
"enough!"
Mahler reprimanded him sternly.
"No matter what, these two young men just helped us a lot. Instead of being grateful, how can you speak so rudely to us?"
"No, we..."
[Chapter 72: A Showdown of Acting Skills]
“I know what you’re thinking, and I understand why you’re skeptical. But until it’s confirmed, it’s an undeniable fact that these two guys helped us.”
“Even if you still don’t trust us, you shouldn’t have said such harsh things.”
Mahler's displeasure and anger stemmed from this.
Although the two generals were still very dissatisfied, they knew that there was no point in arguing any further. On the contrary, they would easily be labeled as ingrates. So they simply glared at Shinji and Hidan and then turned their heads away.
"Hey, I have such a bad temper!"
Hidan was very unhappy and wanted to kill the two henchmen on the spot.
Shinji didn't necessarily want to stop him, he just mentioned that he should wait for a suitable opportunity to make a move. If he turned against him now, wouldn't he have done a favor for nothing?
Oh, it's not entirely like I'm working for nothing.
That mummy cursed spirit was a level 1 cursed spirit, and it even gave me 500 cursed soul points, so it was a good deal no matter how you look at it.
Out of respect for Shinji, Erha Duan sheathed his fangs and did not immediately rush forward to bite them to death.
But anyone who has ever owned a husky knows that its docile and obedient demeanor at this moment is only for the sake of its lawlessness at that time!
"I'm sorry, they were just doing their job, so their words were inevitably a bit harsh. It wasn't directed at you personally."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Mahler, and I belong to the Sealing Team of Sunagakure. This is my partner, Maki."
"I still have to thank you for what happened earlier. Fortunately, you intervened in time to stop and kill that monster. Otherwise, it would have been a small matter if it had escaped, but who knows how many innocent people would have lost their lives because of it."
Mahler sighed, but his speech and actions exuded a decisive and bold spirit, making him easy to like.
"It's nothing, I understand."
Shinji gave a dry reply, lacking any sincerity.
Don't care?
How can it be!
Did you ask my dog?
After noticing Shinji's attitude, Mahler gave a wry smile, knowing that the two generals had still offended someone, but he could understand and didn't take it too seriously.
After all, this is the Land of Wind, the stronghold of their Sand Village.
Even if these two are quite strong, so what?
Do you think you would dare to attack the people of Sunagakure?
Are you out of your mind?!
So let's just be dissatisfied.
