In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Kankuro will never forget Gaara's answer that day.

“I understand, but if we do nothing and just wait, more pain will come. Only by striving to create our own future, without resorting to killing or more bloodshed, will we eventually gain the understanding of others.”

"And I can be like that guy! So I want to become the Kazekage and work hard for the future."

The guy Gaara was referring to was, of course, Naruto Uzumaki.

Both of them were Jinchūriki, but they took completely different paths.

Now, Naruto is almost universally accepted by everyone in Konoha. Everyone believes that Naruto has a bright and promising future, and even Ame-no-Kage supports Naruto becoming the next Hokage.

Since Naruto can do it, he certainly can too.

You can work hard to make others recognize your value.

When Maki heard Kankuro's words, he was inexplicably moved.

"Then we must also do a good job of protecting the village. The medical team should be dispatched quickly to treat the wounded in time. All the guards in the village should also be deployed to block all the roads in the village. This time, there is a high possibility that there is more than one enemy. We must be prepared for enemy reinforcements."

Machi quickly gave the order.

"Hmph, what annoying ants! I hate it most when I'm fighting with people and attracting these ants. But it seems you really want to protect them, right? Well, I'd like to see if you want to protect yourself or the village!"

As Deidara spoke, he threw a bomb down.

The bomb wasn't large, but it suddenly grew countless times larger in the void.

The moment this bomb appeared, Gaara felt an unprecedented threat.

One can imagine the extent of the damage that would have been caused if this bomb had landed in Sunagakure.

I'm afraid that in an instant, all the buildings in the center of the village will turn to dust and disappear.

And countless ninjas and villagers will lose their lives.

Deidara's method was undeniably ruthless.

Chapter 282 A Plan to Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain

It's practically telling Airo that he has to choose between the village and his own life.

If he chooses himself, the village will be gone.

If he chooses the village, he himself will be exposed to Deidara's attack.

"I made a clay doll by eating clay and mixing it with chakra. The trump card is my highest level of chakra, C3. It is a proud masterpiece of art with explosive power. If such an artwork were to be smashed into a village, the explosive power would be enough to flatten the entire village."

"Gaara, I really want to see who you will choose between the village and yourself?"

Deidara looked at Gaara and laughed loudly.

Gaara watched the bomb that was about to fall.

A hint of panic finally appeared on his face.

However, it was too late to stop the bomb.

As the doll fell into the air, it emitted an extremely dazzling golden light.

This golden light was as bright as day, instantly illuminating the Sand Village from the night as if it were daytime.

Everyone looked at the golden light with surprise.

They didn't yet know what the golden light represented.

However, in the next instant, the flames and explosions that symbolized death instantly engulfed the center of the village.

And it continues to spread outwards.

The surrounding dust and flames spread in an instant.

A major earthquake occurred.

The blast wave instantly knocked many villagers over.

Some ninjas also struggled to withstand the blast.

Many ninjas screamed in agony.

Clearly, many ninjas were seriously injured in Deidara's attack.

However, after the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated...

What appeared before Deidara was not the village that had long since been reduced to ruins.

Instead, it was just a patch of sand and gravel.

The sandstorm had already completely covered the entire village.

This patch of sand absorbed almost all the force of the explosion for the villagers and buildings below.

"Haha! Just as I thought!"

Deidara watched this scene and sneered.

Just as he expected.

Gaara will fight to the death to protect this village; he doesn't need to make a choice between himself and the village below.

Gaara will definitely choose his village.

The ninjas below had already prepared themselves for death.

But when they slowly opened their eyes, they found that they were completely unharmed.

The previous explosions did not affect them at all.

Looking up, all they could see was Gaara's sand covering the sky.

It clearly shielded them from all the explosions.

“This is Gaara’s sand.”

"That's amazing! To be able to create such a huge shield, as expected of Gaara."

"Yes, with Gaara around, the village simply cannot be harmed."

The other ninjas cheered when they saw this.

Gaara is the strongest.

"Not bad at all!"

Deidara stood atop the flying bird, looking at Gaara.

Gaara's chakra was almost completely depleted at this moment, and he was panting heavily after creating the huge shield.

"you…"

Gaara wanted to say something.

But at that moment, Gaara saw Deidara's lips curl into a smile.

A danger was looming around him.

Dida stretched out his hands.

"It's too late, drink!"

With Deidara's shout, a bird made of exploding clay instantly flew to Gaara's side.

Then it exploded instantly before Gaara could react.

The flames immediately enveloped Gaara.

"Is the protection in place?"

The ninjas below, witnessing this scene, were all secretly worried for Gaara.

After all, if Gaara were to be hit this time, he would probably be seriously injured.

"Don't worry, everyone. Gaara's absolute defense won't be defeated so easily."

Ma Jiji stayed where he was, comforting everyone.

"That's right, Gaara is very powerful, we should believe in him."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Lord Machi, the attack preparations are complete, and we can launch the attack at any time."

Just then, a ninja came to Maki's side and reported the situation to him.

"Attack quickly."

Machi immediately gave the order.

Then, everyone began preparations.

One after another, crossbows infused with chakra appeared in the hands of the group, capable of striking into the air.

These crossbows were specially prepared by the ninja village to deal with enemies in the air.

These crossbows all contain extremely powerful chakra.

Even a Jonin would be seriously injured if they were accidentally shot.

Although the person attacking their Sand Village was a Kage-level figure, they were still under heavy fire from a barrage of arrows.

No matter who it is, they will be riddled with bullets.

"Impressive, he was able to react to that. He truly deserves to be called a Jinchūriki."

Deidara was even more moved.

His previous attack was originally intended to be a surprise attack.

But to my surprise, Gaara was able to defend against it immediately.

This was completely beyond his imagination.

"However, Gaara, no matter what happens today, you will lose."

Deidara had just finished speaking.

Gaara, who was encased in absolute defense, saw a spider made of explosive clay crawl into his killing intent.
