Chapter 184 Arrival
Although Sakura's previous investigation into Sasuke's deeds, which she had devoted a lot of time and energy to, did not seem to have the effect she expected, she did not feel too disappointed because of it.
On the contrary, she was filled with excitement. As long as Sasuke was not in mortal danger with Orochimaru, that was enough for her; everything else seemed less important.
......
After traveling for some time, Boruto and his companions finally arrived at a vast desert area.
Temari stopped and turned to face them. Pointing to the boundless sea of sand ahead, she said in a serious voice, "The village of Sunagakure lies on the other side of this desert. From now on, I will lead you across this desert."
As Temari led Boruto and his group across the desert, Boruto frowned. He noticed a significant change in the wind direction and speed, and as dust began to rise, a sandstorm was brewing.
Temari also noticed the unusual movement of the sandstorm in the desert. She frowned, her gaze sweeping around, and gritted her teeth: "Of all times, we've run into a sandstorm..."
Sandstorms are extremely dangerous in the environment of Sunagakure. They can cause people to lose their way, leading them to wander in the desert and eventually die from dehydration.
When faced with a sandstorm, the safest course of action is to remain still and avoid unnecessary movement, so as not to lose your bearings in the vast desert and find yourself in an even more dangerous situation.
When Temari suggested resting at their current location, Naruto appeared unusually anxious and retorted in a deep voice, "How can you do that! We're already so close to Sunagakure!"
Unable to tolerate any further delays, they prepared to overcome the sandstorm and head straight for Sunagakure.
Kakashi immediately reached out and grabbed Naruto's shoulder tightly, stopping him from impulsively rushing into the sandstorm. His voice was firm and unwavering: "Naruto! Didn't I already tell you? We can't rush things in this situation." In the desert, acting blindly would only increase the danger.
Boruto stood up and suggested, "I'm confident I can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to safely carry you across the sandstorm for the rest of the journey."
After careful consideration, Kakashi finally nodded, agreeing to Boruto's suggestion.
Boruto had previously suggested using the Flying Thunder God Technique to speed up their journey, but Kakashi considered that transporting so many people over such a long distance would likely consume a huge amount of Boruto's chakra.
So even though the Flying Thunder God Technique could greatly shorten their journey, Kakashi had not previously agreed.
Kakashi knew Boruto's personality; he wouldn't easily say something he wasn't sure of. So when Boruto suggested using the Flying Thunder God Technique again, Kakashi decided to trust him.
After obtaining Kakashi's consent, Boruto took out a soldier's ration pill from his ninja tool pouch and quickly swallowed it to ensure he had enough stamina and chakra.
Then, Boruto focused his mind and released his senses to perceive the direction of Sunagakure and the safe path through the sandstorm. With everything ready, Boruto led them and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to quickly head towards Sunagakure, crossing the raging sandstorm.
Although the harsh environment of the sandstorm required higher precision in throwing and using the Flying Thunder God Shuriken, it was all within Boruto's control. In no time, Boruto safely brought them to the border of Sunagakure.
When Boruto and his group arrived at Sunagakure and were greeted by the Sunagakure ninja, they learned that Kankuro had given chase to stop the Akatsuki from taking Gaara away, but unfortunately encountered Sasori, the former genius puppeteer of Sunagakure.
During the battle, Kankuro was struck by Sasori's venomous stinger, suffering severe poisoning and falling into a deep coma. As a doctor, Sakura naturally could not stand idly by in the face of such an emergency.
Using his superb medical skills, he performed emergency treatment on Kankuro, ultimately pulling him back from the brink of death.
During Kankuro's duel with Sasori of the Red Sand, Kankuro tore off part of Sasori's mask, providing them with a direct clue to Sasori's identity. Kakashi then used this information to summon the Eight Ninja Dogs, who used their sense of smell to track Sasori's scent.
Konoha responded swiftly to this emergency rescue mission, deciding to send additional support from the Kaiban squad to ensure the mission's success.
With the help of the eight ninja dogs, Boruto and his group quickly obtained Sasori's exact location. Without any delay, they immediately set off, heading towards Sasori's location with a clear objective.
......
Deep within the dense forest, Zetsu's figure slowly emerged from a thick tree trunk. Following Pain's instructions, he carefully conducted reconnaissance around the sealed area, vigilantly observing his surroundings to ensure that any hostile ninjas could be detected approaching at any time.
After careful investigation, Black Zetsu quickly discovered the whereabouts of Might Guy and passed this information to Pain: "The enemy is approaching our gathering place. They are not ordinary people. One of them is a master named Might Guy."
"So who is he?" Payne's words echoed in the air.
Itachi Uchiha explained, "He's a Jonin from Konoha, known for his taijutsu skills. He's quite strong, so you'd better not underestimate him."
Upon hearing this, Kisame's lips curled into a cold smile, and he said confidently, "So it's that rare beast. Let me deal with him. I have a bit of a personal grudge between us." He seemed eager to settle things with Might Guy and settle their unresolved matter.
Pain's voice was very indifferent as he slowly said to Kisame, "That's right. In our Akatsuki organization, you, with your abundant chakra reserves, are the most suitable person to carry out this mission. Even so, it will consume 30% of your chakra."
Kisame said coldly, "Really, I can finally avenge that kick from that day."
After Kisame finished speaking, he immediately disconnected from the illusionary magic, detached his consciousness from the remote communication, and refocused on the real world. Then, he quickly headed towards Keban's location, ready to settle their personal grudge.
......
Black Zetsu was still recklessly spreading his senses around, trying to grasp all the dynamics within his control. However, Black Zetsu suddenly felt his position being detected by a gaze. In response, Black Zetsu said coldly, "Why is that guy here too?"
