Chapter 389 Air Combat
Gaara encountered the enemy in the sky.
Few people would launch such a high-profile raid on a ninja village. With only one companion, he dared to venture into the village alone. He truly lives up to the reputation of the dangerous Akatsuki organization.
"Oh, what a convenient ability. Hmm." The blond ninja, who had dodged several sand attacks, still wore a confident smile as he commented on Gaara, who could walk on the sand to get up there.
Gaara didn't want to waste words with him. The noise at the door was still quite loud, but when he saw him arrive, the rain of arrows flying into the sky stopped, and the explosions shouldn't have continued.
The sand manipulated from the ground is too slow to catch that agile guy, so let's use part of the absolute defense to finish this quickly! No one can interfere in this aerial chase. The ninjas' wind-movement units are still too few. The ninjas on the ground can only focus on dealing with the attack at the entrance. Those overwhelming puppets are not easy to deal with.
Sasori reacted quickly. After realizing that the opponent intended to use ranged attacks to stall, he was certain that Yura had completely betrayed him. Without hesitation, he changed his strategy, placing the puppet equipped with a strong shield at the front to withstand a round of wind net attacks. The second layer of cover behind him consisted of puppets using ranged weapons. He alone could create the effect of a rain of shurikens, and he used this method to keep pressing forward, step by step.
At this time, the Sand Village side had already suffered casualties, and the first ranged units to arrive were gradually becoming exhausted. Fortunately, reinforcements from the rear arrived soon after, and the weakened Wind Net strengthened again, finally creating a net without any flaws.
That bird-riding ninja is indeed troublesome, and Gaara doesn't want to refer to him by his more obvious blond hair. Despite having similar hair color, their actions are completely different.
The small bird with two pairs of wings was swiftly intercepted; the little thing exploded on the sand shield, only kicking up a little dust. But defending against those things was extremely exhausting, and they also had to stop him from throwing bombs down the rock wall from time to time. If I remember correctly, there was a "bomb boy" from Iwagakure who defected from the village before; so he joined Akatsuki.
The enemy seemed to have noticed his hesitation. Many bombs that were clearly thrown in his direction suddenly changed course and fell straight down. Gaara could only distract himself and block them. After a few times, he stopped his tentative grabbing and started to get serious.
The "Absolute Defense" quickly took shape, but a window suddenly appeared directly in front of him, allowing someone to look out. The flowing sand in the air also accelerated instantly, catching the guy off guard and successfully grabbing one of his hands. If I remember correctly, "Explosive Boy" used the Rock Concealment Secret Technique, and his hands were the key to casting the spell. If he could just cripple both hands...
"You're quite capable, hmm." After releasing the clay centipede but failing to budge the sand covering his arm, Deidara keenly realized something. This pile of sand seemed completely different from the previous sand. Could it be that the chakra injected was different?
Deidara, who had a premonition that his arm was going to be ruined, was not so panicked. It was at this moment that his hand, which was buried in the sand, kept moving in and out, burying the hidden danger inside.
He remembered that the Sand Village Jinchuriki had a most famous technique... Absolute Defense. This guy always carried a portion of sand on his back, which must have been infused with a considerable amount of chakra, making him faster and easier to manipulate. And that spherical thing in the distance was missing a part—was it missing the part meant to strangle him?
Very good, he has already come up with a solution.
