Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

The two hundred people that Zero Burial just wiped out were actually just the vanguard of the Sand Ninja invasion. If it weren't for the fear of scaring Chiyo, these two hundred people would probably have been wiped out the moment they entered the territory.

Now that Chiyo's ninja army has fallen into the trap, Zero Burial says it's time to close the net.

Chapter 89 Naruto: The Sand Village's Cry of Blood

"A ruler should not raise an army out of anger, nor should a general launch an attack out of resentment."

This quote comes from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, specifically the chapter on "Fire Attack." It means that a leader or general should not start a war lightly out of anger.

Anger can cloud judgment, causing people to overlook the dangers lurking beneath the surface.

War is an ominous sign. Weapons are instruments of destruction.

If war is started out of anger, the hidden dangers will be ignored, and the ominous weapon of war will backfire.

Clearly, Chiyo and the other high-ranking Sand Ninja made the serious mistake of acting rashly in anger.

Among the high-ranking members of the Sand Village, with someone like Rasa leading the way, it's natural that most of them are insects.

However, people like Maki, who are courageous and capable, lack sufficient qualifications.

Chiyo and Ebizo had been retired for several years and were out of touch with the international environment and village affairs. Moreover, they were thrown into disarray by their preconceived misjudgments.

Therefore, they did not gather enough intelligence and still viewed the power balance between Amegakure and Sunagakure with outdated perspectives.

This led to this hasty invasion.

But fate will not tolerate anyone, and the Sand Village will pay a bloody price for this misjudgment.

Zero Burial hovered in mid-air, like a god looking down at the battlefield below.

Chiyo and Ebizo exclaimed that things were in trouble; the Rain Ninja's strength far exceeded their expectations.

What is a shadow? Leaving aside other political elements, the shadow of a village is often the most capable fighter in that village. A shadow should possess the power to turn the tide of a local war.

In other words, the role that Ying played on the battlefield was actually somewhat similar to that of Xiang Yu.

As the pinnacle general of the "brave and combat" school of military strategists, Xiang Yu's combat style mainly relied on his keen insight into the battlefield situation and his personal bravery and fearlessness to find weak points in the enemy's formation and create local advantages in those places.

In this way, he could easily break through the enemy's formation, creating an excellent opportunity for the main force to follow.

However, dealing with a top-tier "brave warrior" like Xiang Yu is no easy task. If you fail to successfully intercept his fierce charge or sever his connection with the main force behind him, a disastrous consequence awaits you—your own formation will be completely broken, and the entire army will fall into chaos.

Once the army's formation collapses, their original numerical advantage will vanish, and they will be vulnerable to being defeated and devoured one by one by the enemy.

However, the Rain Ninja team is now incredibly powerful, with five ninjas capable of rivaling Kage-level ninjas, and even three genuine Kage-level masters! The Rain Ninjas will naturally not waste this advantage.

Therefore, they quickly made strategic arrangements.

The Rain Ninja were divided into five teams, each closely following a captain clad in a red cloud robe from the Akatsuki organization. These captains, like arrows, led their respective teams, tearing apart the Sand Ninja army's formation like sharp blades.

Caught completely off guard, the Sand Ninja army was caught off guard by this sudden and fierce attack. The Rain Ninja, on the other hand, fully utilized the advantage of their high-ranking soldiers, routing the Sand Ninja army and sending them fleeing in disarray.

If you were Liu Bang, on the battlefield of the Chu-Han Contention, and the opposing Chu army had five figures like Xiang Yu, how would you feel?

The Sand Village experienced this feeling today—despair! Nothing but despair.

The sense of despair was especially pronounced when the two on his side who could play the role of "Xiang Yu" were being suppressed by the deity floating in mid-air with just one hand.

"The gap is too big!"

This was the only feeling in the minds of Chiyo and her brother, who were now lying prostrate on the humid land of the Land of Rain.

The other party simply extended one hand, and Chiyo and her brother felt an immense force pressing down on them, so that they were stuck deep in the mud and couldn't move a single finger.

In this situation, let alone activating ninjutsu, Chiyo and her brother felt their old bones starting to creak, and their hearts, which were beating in their chests, were being squeezed by this force, causing problems with blood supply.

"We were wrong, we were all wrong! We shouldn't have set our sights on the Rain Ninja. This young man, he's not the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, he's clearly the god of the ninja world, Hashirama Senju."

Chiyo and Ebizo wanted to beg for mercy, but they were so overwhelmed by the power that they couldn't utter a coherent sentence.

"It's all...a misunderstanding...please...forgive...us...this...time...the Sand Village...will...offer...a...generous...compensation...."

Zero ignored Chiyo's pleas for mercy.

"Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding?"

"You wouldn't be thinking of making peace at this time, would you?"

What sweet dreams are you having?

"And it wasn't entirely a misunderstanding; I was the one who ordered Luo Sha to be killed."

Hearing Zero's words, Chiyo was filled with regret. She had truly bitten off more than she could chew this time; prejudice can be deadly!

Seeing the Sand Ninja forces collapsing like a house of cards, Zero did not order a continued full-scale pursuit.

After all, a few of them should be left behind to spread the fame of the Rain Ninja, right?

Ling Zang formed a hand seal, and immediately numerous thick chains shot out from his body.

"Vortex Secret Technique: Diamond Sealing Barrier"

As Zero Burial formed new hand seals, numerous chains began to split into smaller chains, locking up all the Sand Ninja who were still resisting or were too slow to escape on the battlefield.

Ninjas are a valuable resource.

Killing them all would be too wasteful. The Rain Kingdom has plenty of places for them, such as mines and biological computing arrays, even if they are used to extort ransom.

Looking at the immobilized and extremely disheveled Chiyo siblings, Zero's eyes turned cold.

He activated the Preta Path, extracting a portion of their chakra to cultivate the White Zetsu array.

Then, his finger flashed out like lightning, seemingly containing boundless power and might. The repulsive force of Shinra Tensei triggered by this finger was amplified to its extreme, like a volcanic eruption!

Faced with such terrifying power, the two had absolutely no chance to resist. Their bodies were instantly crushed by the immense pressure, bones shattered, flesh and blood flew everywhere, mingling with the muddy soil of the Land of Rain, making them indistinguishable from each other.

This scene was bloody and cruel, as if a scene from hell had been reenacted. Zero Burial hovered high in the sky, watching it all indifferently, as if it were just an insignificant game.

“Take these prisoners back to Amegakure. I have other things to do.”

After giving instructions to those below, Lingzang then formed a hand seal.

A powerful wind-style chakra burst forth from his body, connecting with the natural energy of the outside world to form a blue-green light. Zero was enveloped in this light and, guided by the power of nature, transformed into light and headed towards the direction of Sunagakure.

Lingzang ignored the thousand-strong reserve force at the border and headed straight for the heart of Sunagakure.

It must be said that the Sand Village's resources are still inferior to those of Konoha. Konoha has a massive barrier that surrounds the entire village, and anyone who enters or leaves without authorization and without using the main gate will be instantly detected by the barrier team.

Even when Pain invaded Konoha in the original story, he did not break this barrier. Instead, he used the Animal Path to summon other Pain clones to mislead Konoha.

The Sand Village doesn't have this, but perhaps that's why the Sand Village is proud of the peculiar location it chose.

The Sand Village is nestled within a ring of towering rock walls, accessible only via a narrow, narrow passageway carved into the wall. The Sand ninja likely believed that this natural barrier eliminated the need for any external barriers; simply guarding the narrow passageway would suffice.

However, they clearly did not consider the invasion from the sky, so much so that Deidara could later swagger in from the sky on a bird without alerting anyone before Gaara noticed.

Now, Zero swaggered down from the sky as a streak of blue light and accurately located Gaara's position.

The Sand Village's sealing techniques were too poor to completely seal Shukaku's aura. Moreover, the Jinchuriki's enormous chakra reserves were a stark contrast to Zero, who possessed Kagura's Mind's Eye.

Chapter 90 Naruto: The Fear of All Nations

At this time, Gaara was still an adorable child, but his gloomy and crazy aura and big dark circles under his eyes somewhat ruined his good looks.

Mania, self-destruction, inferiority complex, emptiness.

Under the influence of Zero Burial's "Transformation of Others" supernatural power, Gaara's true feelings were laid bare.

Although he was not even ten years old, his heart was like that of an adult who had suffered endless torment from fate.

Luo Sha is a real scoundrel!

Loran reaffirmed this viewpoint; compared to him, even Loran, the Heavenly Demon, seemed humanoid.

Gaara's eyes remained lifeless in the face of the intrusion of strangers.

As Zero approached, Gaara's face suddenly turned fierce, and a large hand made of sand grabbed at Zero.

Zero Burial simply waved his hand, and the giant hand made of sand was shattered.

Gaara is too inexperienced now; even his deadly moves are like a kitten's whining to Zero.

When he saw his killing move being easily shattered by the newcomer, Gaara's face finally showed a look of panic similar to that of a child.

Just as he was about to launch another attack, Zero Burial spoke up: "Luo Sha is dead. I sent someone to kill him."

Seeing the bewilderment on Gaara's face, Zero smiled. Although he wanted to abduct a child, he didn't intend to use deception.

"Do you want to come with me? I have a way to give you a good night's sleep, and I also have a way to calm down that thing inside you."

Zero looked at Gaara's terrifying dark circles and felt a pang of emotion.

Lorraine, who had suffered from severe insomnia for a period of time in her previous life due to graduation pressure, knew all too well how terrible insomnia could be. Even a healthy adult would find it hard to bear, let alone a young child who was not yet fully developed.

Gaara didn't completely break down under the dual pressures of his internal physiology and external environment, and he can still turn back in the future. Zero thinks he's already a super stress-resistant king.

However, in this wretched land of the ninja world, it seems that everyone is a master of endurance; those who cannot endure pressure don't live long.

To show that he wasn't lying to the child, Zero Burial immediately placed his hand on Gaara's lower abdomen, partially patching up the seal's gaps within him.

"I'll go with you."

Feeling that the nagging of the big guy inside him had indeed greatly diminished, Gaara simply expressed his desire to leave with Zero.

As for Luo Sha? He's unfamiliar with it. What is that? Is it more important than me getting a good night's sleep?

He had no attachment whatsoever to Sunagakure.

Nobody here treats him like a human being. Rasa only knows how to provoke and manipulate him all day long. His sister Temari and brother Kankuro care about him but are still terrified of him. His uncle Yashamaru is the only one who is kind to him and not afraid of him, but in the end, he also jumps out to kill him.

Speaking of the Jinchuriki of the five great ninja villages, the Jinchuriki of the Sand Village are the most tragic.

Although most ninjas are hostile towards Jinchuriki due to the terrifying destructive power of Tailed Beasts going berserk, their attitudes vary depending on the village.

For example, the Hidden Cloud Village treated Jinchuriki quite well. Killer Bee and Yugito are a good example, and even the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki didn't have such a bad situation. At least he had many friends in the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Third and Fourth Raikage trusted him greatly.

It's unclear how strong the Iwa ninja are, but judging from the fact that Rōshi betrayed the village to farm, it's probably not that powerful.

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fu, has such an innocent and adorable personality, so the Takigakure ninja must have treated her quite well. Of course, this might be related to the fact that Kakuzu killed a large number of inhuman Takigakure high-ranking officials back then.

Kirigakure pioneered the practice of having a Jinchūriki become a Kage, which may be related to the unique blood mist culture within Kirigakure.

Konoha, which is often criticized for being inhumane, is much better than Sand Village in this respect. Kushina goes without saying, which may be related to Mito's dying care.

However, Naruto was still able to play games with some other children when he was young, which appears multiple times in Naruto's memories. The Third Hokage at least showed Naruto a glimmer of warmth and protected him from the tragic fate of being turned into a weapon.

Compared to Gaara, Naruto's childhood was nothing.

In terms of how they treat Jinchuriki, Konoha is arguably second only to Kumogakure in moral standing within the ninja world. Of course, given the generally low level of morality in the ninja world, this standing isn't actually that high.

Reizo led Gaara out of the house, the child carrying very little luggage; a small bag was all he needed.

As he walked along, all the Sand Ninjas who tried to attack were firmly pinned to the ground by Shinra Tensei. If anyone harbored too much malice, Zero would simply crush them to death.

Zero, holding Gaara's hand, successfully toured the heart of Sunagakure before picking him up and transforming into a streak of blue light that vanished into the horizon.

The Fourth Kazekage's head was made into a mound of skulls. Chiyo and Ebizo, two veteran shinobi who had experienced three Shinobi World Wars, were killed in action. The entire army of 2,500 elite Sand Shinobi was wiped out, and even the Jinchuriki were lost.

This news completely shocked the nations.

Sunagakure is neither as well-established as Konoha, nor as capable as Iwagakure of easily fielding 10,000 ninja troops. After such a crushing defeat, Sunagakure can be said to have fallen out of the ranks of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The Rain Village, which crushed the Sand Village, might just be considered one of the new Five Great Rogue Villages of the Shinobi World.

Just as various countries were beginning to consider how to deal with this new colleague who had joined them at the dinner table, in a luxurious hotel in the ninja world, a tall, imposing, white-haired middle-aged man was looking in shock at the information he had collected from the black market about the leader of the Rain Ninja.

Zero did not conceal his appearance in the Sand Village, so his exact appearance was quickly exposed by many spies infiltrating the Sand Village.

"This hair color is Yahiko's hair color, and his appearance is also somewhat similar to Yahiko's, but there's no mistake about his eyes, they are definitely Nagato's Rinnegan."

Jiraiya was somewhat agitated. Since Hanzo the Salamander fell from power a few years ago, it had become extremely difficult to obtain information from within Amegakure.

Even Jiraiya could not know for sure what became of the three disciples he had taken in back then.

How did Nagato's Rinnegan end up in someone who looks somewhat like Yahiko, and this person even became the leader of Amegakure?

This style of doing things doesn't seem like Nagato's personality at all.

And what about Xiao Nan? Why is there no trace of Xiao Nan?

A terrifying thought crossed Jiraiya's mind.

It is known that the Byakugan can be transplanted; Ao from Kirigakure has a main branch Byakugan.
