At this time, Sunagakure was shrouded in shadows.
The high-altitude battle caught the attention of the villagers and ninjas.
But they could only watch quietly and couldn't do anything else.
Sunagakure had no air combat-type ninjas at all.
It is said to be the Land of Wind, but there are not many who know Wind Style.
Rōsha's obscuring sand technique finally blocked Deidara's C3 No. 18.
The use of such a large amount of sand, combined with his own gold dust, greatly consumed the chakra of the Fourth Kazekage, Rōsha.
Huh, huh, huh—
Rōsha, who had created a barrier, stood on the sand cloud, breathing heavily.
Deidara grinned and sighed softly.
"As expected of a ninja who bears the name of Kazekage, eh!"
Inside Sunagakure, in an open field, several Anbu personnel found Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro.
"Master Gaara, Master Temari, Master Kankuro, there are enemies attacking the village! Please follow us to a safe place to escape!"
Since the last time Uchiha Nanaya helped Gaara suppress the tailed beast and "brainwashed" him, the current Gaara is no longer as fierce as he used to be.
Temari also knew that this change was due to the influence of Konoha's ninja. After all, she would never forget that handsome guy.
"No, I am a ninja in the village now, and I have to do my part for the village."
Gaara said in a calm voice.
Even though Gaara has improved, the other ninjas in the village still felt quite anxious.
The mood of a Jinchūriki can fluctuate, and they were uncertain about how Gaara was feeling now.
Although Gaara was only a Genin, he was a Jinchūriki and had the absolute defense of sand.
As long as Gaara had no thoughts of fleeing, these Sand Shinobi Anbu couldn't do anything.
They also did not dare to force Gaara to a safe place.
If they did, they might end up dead at Gaara's hands.
"Damn it, isn't Captain Baki here yet?"
These Sand Shinobi Anbu ninjas found themselves in a dilemma when Gaara refused to take refuge in the safe zone.
"I'm afraid only Captain Baki can make Gaara obey orders."
These Sand Shinobi ninjas secretly hoped that Akatsuki would target the tailed beast.
Some hoped that the Jinchūriki would be captured by Akatsuki.
Because Jinchūriki are often a source of chaos within any village.
If Akatsuki was interested in such a monster, let them capture it.
As for what to do afterward, who cares?
This was just a part of the inner thoughts of the ninjas, and they naturally dared not speak out against the higher-ups' decisions.
Basically, only some high-level and powerful ninjas understood the true meaning of a Jinchūriki's existence.
To others, he was just a monster in human skin.
The huge protective shield in the sky caught the attention of Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara.
"Is your father fighting the enemy at high altitude?"
The scale of this protection almost enveloped all of Sunagakure.
"Damn, it seems that the enemy is quite powerful to be able to push Father to this level."
Kankuro and Temari were very worried about Rōsha.
Using such a massive shield would consume a huge amount of chakra, and they didn't know if the enemy had been dealt with.
"Tsk tsk, is the Jinchūriki here? I'm really looking for him!"
Click, click, click...
A deep voice echoed in the area as the sound of puppets suddenly appeared around Kankuro and the others.
The figure in the black cloak with red clouds crawled on the ground and approached slowly.
"This, this is an Akatsuki member!"
According to the information, Akatsuki typically operates in pairs.
One is in the sky fighting with the Kazekage, and this must be the other one.
Sasori glanced at the sky and saw the massive gold dust barrier.
He couldn't help but complain.
"That guy Deidara is so slow; he's actually playing around with the Kazekage while I'm supposed to find the Jinchūriki first. Well, I'll take the Jinchūriki away and leave him to it."
Sand Shinobi and several Anbu ninjas rushed toward Sasori with kunai.
"Lord Temari, Lord Kankuro, get out of here with Lord Gaara! We will deal with this enemy!"
These Anbu had already resolved to fight to the death.
"Wind Style: Dust of Wind and Sand!"
"Fire Style: Fire Clouds!"
Among them, two Sand Shinobi ninjas performed Wind Style and Fire Style ninjutsu.
Other ninjas used shuriken for long-range attacks.
Sasori, in his puppet form, showed a look of disdain. It had been so many years since he left Sunagakure, and he didn't expect the ninjas of Sunagakure to be at this level!
Doesn't it mean that the times are progressing? This kind of strength was not comparable to the ninjas in the village when Sasori was in Sunagakure.
Swish—
With a flick of his tail, the Anbu from Sunagakure was instantly eliminated.
Only Kankuro, Gaara, and Temari were left on the field.
"Tsk, there are only three of you left!"
That red-haired kid is the One-Tails Jinchūriki.
"Temari, you take Gaara first. This guy is left to me."
"No, Kankuro, you are not his opponent! Let me stay and deal with him. You take Gaara away!"
As an older sister, Temari was still very responsible.
Gaara didn't care about the two of them; with a wave of his small hand, a lot of sand bound Sasori.
"Sand Binding Coffin!"
