The smiles on everyone's faces froze, and their gazes all turned to the distance, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.
Kakashi's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Be careful..."
Chapter 108 What's going on here?
Before Kakashi could finish speaking, the strange fluctuations in the distance grew even stronger, as if some enormous creature was approaching at an astonishing speed.
A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, like the calm before a storm, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
"What's going on?" Naruto clenched his fists, his azure eyes fixed on the distance, and asked anxiously.
"I feel... not good." Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly, trying to see the distant scenery clearly, but all he could see was a blurry image, and he couldn't make anything out.
Sakura gripped the strap of the medical kit tightly, her knuckles turning white, her heart pounding.
Although she didn't know what she was about to face, she was ready to fight at any time.
Shikamaru habitually rested his chin on his hand, his brows furrowed, his mind racing as he analyzed the current situation.
"It seems we're in for another tough battle," he said in a low voice, a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Kiba patted Akamaru's head, and both the man and the dog kept their eyes fixed on the direction from which the fluctuations came, ready to meet any attacking enemy at any moment.
"Akamaru, get ready!" Kiba whispered.
Akamaru let out a low growl in response to Kiba's command.
The ninjas of Sunagakure were also on high alert.
Gaara's gourd swayed gently, and fine sand flowed slowly, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.
Temari and Kankuro were also ready for battle, their weapons gleaming coldly.
"Everyone in Konoha, we should send out a reconnaissance team to find out the situation before making any plans," Kakashi calmly analyzed.
"No! Time is of the essence. We must set up defenses immediately, just in case," Maki said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
The ninjas from both villages were immediately locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere became tense and oppressive.
“I think…” Naruto suddenly spoke, breaking the tense atmosphere.
He took a deep breath, his voice firm and passionate, “We can send out reconnaissance teams and deploy defenses simultaneously, without delaying either task! This way, we can both gather intelligence on the enemy and ensure that we can react immediately.”
Kakashi's brow relaxed slightly. He agreed with Naruto's suggestion, saying, "Naruto makes a good point. This way, it's both safe and ensures a swift response."
Maki looked at Naruto, and although he was reluctant, he had to admit the rationality of the plan.
He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then let's do it this way. The Konoha ninjas will be in charge of the defense, and our Sunagakure ninjas will send out reconnaissance teams."
All eyes were on Naruto, as if they saw new hope in him.
Shikamaru patted Naruto on the shoulder and laughed, "I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve. You truly deserve to be a future Hokage candidate."
Naruto smiled, his eyes shining with determination: "We must protect everyone and not give the enemy any opportunity!"
With the plan finalized, the ninjas quickly sprang into action.
On the training field, Sasuke and Kankuro stood face to face, their eyes burning with the flames of battle.
Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly, and Kankuro's puppet was poised to strike.
"Come on, let's see who's better, the genius of Konoha or the strongman of Sunagakure!" Kankuro said calmly.
Sasuke nodded, showing no sign of weakness: "I will do my best."
The battle was about to begin. Sasuke's Sharingan emitted a faint light, and Kankuro's puppet technique drew dazzling trajectories in the air.
The clanging of metal and the shrieking of puppets echoed across the training ground, eliciting gasps of amazement from the surrounding ninjas.
Sakura and Temari stood to the side, their eyes fixed on the battlefield, each cheering for their teammates.
Just as everyone was actively preparing for the battle, the fluctuations in the distance suddenly stopped.
The air around us seemed to have frozen, eerily quiet.
An inexplicable sense of oppression enveloped everyone, as if some greater crisis was brewing.
"What... what's going on?" Naruto frowned, his sharp gaze sweeping over his surroundings.
He clenched his fist and said in a low voice, "No matter what happens, we must prepare for the worst."
Kakashi calmly observed his surroundings, a wary glint in his eyes.
He whispered his command: "Everyone, remain vigilant and be ready to fight at any time."
That moment of calm seemed to foreshadow an even greater storm to come.
Chapter 109 We're running out of medicine!
The fluctuations came to an abrupt halt, but the anticipated enemy did not appear.
An unsettling atmosphere filled the air, even more suffocating than the fierce battle that had just taken place.
Kakashi looked around, his Sharingan swirling slightly, trying to catch anything unusual.
Naruto scratched his head in frustration; the unknown fear made him extremely anxious.
"What's going on? Is it a trap?" he muttered to himself.
The ninjas of Sunagakure were equally vigilant. Kankuro retrieved his puppet and swept his sinister gaze over the Konoha ninjas.
The interruption of the battle ignited a strange anger within him.
He scoffed, "Konoha ninjas, what kind of tricks are these?"
"We don't know what happened either!" Sakura retorted, a hint of unease in her voice.
Sasuke remained silent, his Sharingan intently scanning his surroundings, trying to find the reason for the eerie silence.
Anxiety began to spread among the crowd, and some of the younger ninjas even began to tremble slightly.
This panic spread rapidly, like a plague, and the oppressive atmosphere intensified.
"It must be a conspiracy by Konoha!" a Sunagakure ninja suddenly shouted, pointing at Naruto and the others. "They created a disturbance, and now they're deliberately stopping it to try and disrupt us!"
His words acted as a fuse, instantly igniting the anger in the hearts of the Sunagakure ninja.
They drew their weapons and aimed them at the Konoha ninjas.
"Shut up! We didn't do anything!" Naruto roared, but his explanation was quickly drowned out by the shouts and curses of the Sunagakure ninjas.
Gaara coldly observed everything before him, remaining silent.
His clenched fist trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing something.
Temari stood beside him, looking at him with concern.
Maki stepped forward, blocking Gaara's path, and warily watched the Konoha ninja.
"Calm down, everyone!" Kakashi shouted sharply, trying to control the situation. "Now is not the time for infighting. We should unite and find the real enemy!"
However, his words had no effect.
The ninjas on both sides were already at each other's throats, and the tense atmosphere was about to erupt.
Just then, a Konoha ninja staggered up to Kakashi, clutching his arm. He was pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Kakashi-sensei... I... I'm injured..." he said weakly, his voice trembling, "I need... I need medicine..."
Kakashi quickly examined the ninja's injuries; the wounds were deep enough to expose bone, and blood was gushing out continuously.
"Where are the bandages and medicine?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Kakashi-sensei, the medicine... we're running out of medicine!" Another ninja rushed over in a panic, his face pale.
"What?!" Kakashi's heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind.
Sakura immediately volunteered to find medicine. She searched through all the medical kits but only found some unimportant herbs.
Her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe.
Seeing her injured companion groaning in pain, she felt a deep sense of self-reproach.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, filled with a sense of helplessness and anxiety.
"Damn it, how could this happen!" Naruto slammed his fist on the ground and paced back and forth anxiously.
Just then, Shikamaru slowly spoke up: "Wait, something's not right." His brows furrowed, and his gaze swept over everyone present.
"If it were just a simple shortage of medicine, there should have been no warning signs. Besides, I remember that before we set off, the medical ninjas specifically checked all the supplies, and the quantities were definitely sufficient."
Shikamaru's words sent a chill down everyone's spines.
Kakashi immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and said in a deep voice, "Shikamaru, continue."
"If my guess is correct, the medicine must have been deliberately hidden." Shikamaru's gaze fell on an inconspicuous corner in the crowd, where some miscellaneous items were piled up.
"If someone wants to create chaos and demoralize the troops, they will definitely choose the most inconspicuous place."
The group immediately ran in the direction Shikamaru pointed, and sure enough, they found the missing medicine deep in the pile of debris.
Standing beside the pile of debris was a Konoha ninja who was usually taciturn.
His face was pale, his eyes darted around, and he dared not look directly at the crowd.
"Did you do this?" Kakashi's voice was icy, like a judgment from hell.
The ninja trembled all over, and finally lowered his head, admitting his crime.
It turns out that he harbored resentment towards Konoha and wanted to take this opportunity to create chaos and retaliate against Konoha.
Shikamaru's wisdom and composure not only exposed the conspiracy but also resolved some of the conflicts between Konoha and Sunagakure.
Everyone looked at Shikamaru with gratitude and deep admiration for his wisdom.
However, just as the internal conflict subsided, another strong fluctuation came from afar, even more intense than before.
Along with the fluctuations came a powerful, malevolent aura, like a demon from the abyss, sending chills down one's spine.
Everyone looked into the distance in horror, their hearts filled with fear and unease.
"What is that..." Kakashi muttered to himself, gripping the kunai in his hand tightly.
Chapter 110 Sand Ball
At the horizon, surging chakra created visible waves, and a suppressed evil aura swept in like a tide, more intense and more unsettling than before.
Kakashi's expression was grave, and his deep voice cut through the wind: "Prepare for battle!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Naruto was the first to rush out, his azure eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, his short golden hair dancing in the wind.
"I will definitely defeat it!" His youthful voice contained an unwavering determination.
Naruto's courage was like a spark, igniting the fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.
Tension, excitement, and fear intertwined, creating a somber atmosphere that permeated the battlefield.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the earth trembled violently, and amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a colossal object slowly emerged.
It resembles a demon, with a huge body covered in hard scales, and its scarlet eyes gleam with a bloodthirsty light.
With a mere wave of its enormous arm, it leveled the surrounding buildings, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.
"Everyone be careful!" Kakashi shouted in a low voice and rushed forward first.
The light from the Raikiri pierced the air, striking the demon's chest.
Meanwhile, Machi's gold dust acted like a giant net, attempting to trap the demon's actions.
The other Jonin also unleashed their special moves. In an instant, the colorful ninjutsu light collided with the demon's black energy, erupting into a deafening roar. Sparks flew everywhere, and the battlefield resembled a hellish scene.
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, Kiba, Akamaru, and Kankuro, Gaara, and Temari from Sunagakure all watched this earth-shattering battle with bated breath. They knew that the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of everyone.
"Kakashi-sensei, you have to win!" Sakura clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.
The demon's defense was astonishing; although Kakashi and Maki's attacks were powerful, they failed to inflict any real damage on it.
Instead, the demon's attacks became increasingly fierce, and the group gradually felt overwhelmed.
"This won't do!" Kakashi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "We have to find a way to break through its defenses!"
