The huge sandstorm continued to expand, occupying most of the laboratory with ferocity and ferocity. The puppets inside kept waving their giant sandstone fists, knocking back every ninja who tried to rush into it.

Most ninjas have very fragile bodies, and even elite jounin may die from common cold weapons such as shurikens and kunai.

The sand puppets are tall and powerful, and their shortcomings of slow movement are covered up by the wind and sand. An ordinary chuunin has absolutely no way to deal with them. They can only contain them. Only a jounin can barely kill a sand puppet, but they can't break through the puppet's defense.

Fight to the center.

So the ninja team retreated again and again, and Xie Mao and others almost retreated to the door.

"Even if it is made into a puppet, does it have such terrifying chakra?" Chiyo's face was as gloomy as water. Her puppet technique was defeated by the [Michen Kingdom]. Ordinary puppets will be quickly destroyed as soon as they enter the "Kingdom".

Dust blocks the mechanism.

Ye Cang, who was best at attacking with force, seized the opportunity at the first opportunity. Unfortunately, [Shamen] was far more powerful than they imagined, and Ye Cang was injured as a result. He was already at the end of his strength, and even if he took the Bing Liang Pills as soon as possible, he would not have time to recover.

Many of the ninja troops had consumed a lot of chakra when they stormed the sand wall, and their condition was not that good.

Chiyo frowned, already planning to retreat temporarily.

Otherwise, they won't be able to escape when [Michen Kingdom] involves them.

How could it be so outrageous... Xie Mao was hit by flying sand so much that his whole body hurt, his exposed skin had wounds, and his clothes became tattered. He was still standing on the outermost edge. If he went deep into the center of the country, he would probably be strangled.

broken.

Kazama on the side pressed the brim of his hat with his hand, and his originally calm and hoarse voice was filled with urgency: "To roll up such a large 'country' in a non-desert place, even the second generation of the living generation could not do such a thing!

"

Yes... Chiyo frowned. They were now inside the mountain. All the flying sand was obtained by grinding rocks. It was an extra step of extraction. The consumption of Ninjutsu formation was much higher than on the ground.

Even the second-generation Kazekage who is alive can hardly support this kind of consumption.

But now is not the time to think about this. Chiyo glanced at his grandson and quickly made a decision: "It's too dangerous, retreat. I will notify the village immediately and the Sandaime will handle it personally."

A puppet that can perform powerful ninjutsu, which is somewhat similar to the human puppet of "Scorpion" in the future. There must be something happening to the "Sramana" who was silent here in the past that we don't know about, and that may be the key to the mission... Xie is thinking

Uo frowned slightly when he heard Chiyo's decision to retreat.

He came with a system mission. Only by participating in the mission as much as possible can he improve his rating and obtain rewards. If he quits now, he may not be put back in again.

After all, his identity still needs to be protected by the village, and he is a genius who has not yet grown up.

But the current situation is indeed too dangerous, and even Chiyo may not be able to protect him. Is it worth risking his life to continue exploring?

The fire that was rekindled early was not very bright, but Xie Mao still found that Ye Cang next to him had a tangled expression, as if he was hesitating and did not want to retreat immediately.

Xie Mao was also very hesitant.

"We can't withdraw." Kazama suddenly said.

"Huh?" Chiyo looked over, "We have no energy left."

"I know." Kazama said, looking at the sandstorm in front of him, "but the 'national territory' is moving."

Hearing this, Xie Mao squinted his eyes and observed. Amid the faint vibrations of the mountain, he could only feel the sandstorm expanding.

Chiyo also observed, but didn't see anything unusual: "Kazama, are you sure?"

"Yes!" Kazama said with an extremely certain tone, as if he had a deeper understanding of the "Michen Kingdom" than others.

Upon hearing that the "Kingdom" was moving, Yekura became anxious: "Advisor Chiyo, we cannot let the Nidaime leave here!"

"...I understand." Chiyo gave Kazama a deep look, "But how should we stop the Nidaime?"

Kazama and Ye Cang were silent at the same time, neither of them knew how to seal the second generation against the "national domain".

"The walls here don't seem to be strong."

Xie Mao raised his head, observed the ceiling and said: "Unlike outside, the walls in the laboratory are not sealed and reinforced. Can we blow them down?"

Chiyo, Ye Cang and Kazama looked at Xie Mao together, with uncontrollable astonishment on their faces.

"You want to...ruin this place!?" Kazama said in disbelief.

"No!" Ye Cang said quickly, "That's the second generation!"

Chiyo did not immediately deny Xie Mao, but Xie Mao clearly saw hesitation on her face.

As experienced Jonin, it's not that they couldn't think of this method, but they wouldn't use it subconsciously.

That puppet is not only the remains of the Nidaime Kazekage, but it also contains unknown secrets. Its symbolic significance and practical value are immeasurable.

How dare you do this?

But Xie Mao has no special feelings for the ancestors of Feng Ying, and he already has a systematic path to follow, so naturally he doesn't care whether the puppet [Sramana] will be damaged.

"The cavity outside the laboratory has a crack that leads directly to the outside world. It is not difficult for the second generation to leave."

Xie Mao said that instead of worrying about whether the puppet would be damaged in the end, it would be better to try our best to stop it first.

Otherwise, when the sandstorm continues to expand, there are only two possible endings. One, they who do not retreat will be wiped out, and two, they who retreat watch [Sramana] escape.

Kazama was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "...That's right. Besides, it's not that easy to destroy the second-generation puppet. You might as well give it a try."

He was already mentally prepared for the second-generation puppet to be destroyed.

"Oh~" Chiyo sighed, his expression became firm, "Let's get started."

"I am responsible for the detonating talisman." Kazama said.

"Then I will be responsible for organizing the earth escape ninjutsu." Ye Cang said after taking a breath.

After making a decision, the ninjas moved incredibly fast, and soon a bunch of detonating symbols were attached to the wall by the ninjas against the sand and dust.

But if you want to blow up this mountain, these detonating symbols are still not enough.

"The last of the Cracker Crows."

Kazama took out the puppet that had shown power before from the scroll, looked sideways at Chiyo, and waited for orders.

And Chiyo was looking at Xie Mao.

"I can help." Xie Mao said to Chiyo, he had mastered the Earth Release Ninjutsu in his memory.

"No, you have never cooperated with them. Just exit the laboratory with the others and wait." Chiyo shook his head slightly.

"Counsel Chiyo, we are ready here." Ye Cang has assigned tasks to all the ninjas who are good at earth escape. With everyone's cooperation and the detonating talisman, there is a high possibility of success.

"Ye Cang, you take Xie Mao and the other injured people out. If we don't succeed, you give up the mission immediately and go back to inform Lord Kazekage." Chiyo touched Xie Mao's head, and then pushed it gently.

"Counsel Chiyo..." Ye Cang's expression became complicated, unwilling and hesitant. She really couldn't help much as she didn't have much chakra anymore.

"Go." Chiyo smiled slightly. After seeing the hesitation of Ye Cang and others, she turned serious, "Don't delay!"

"yes!"

Ye Cang pursed his lips and responded. Xie Mao didn't say much. He nodded gently, followed Ye Cang and other injured ninjas out of the laboratory, and returned to the previous mountain cavity to wait.

Seeing that Xie Mao kept looking at the laboratory, Ye Cang comforted him: "I believe that Consultant Qianyo will be able to do it."

"Yeah." Xie Mao was worried, but he did not regret his suggestion of blowing up the mountain.

But he felt quite unhappy and uncomfortable. He who made the suggestion did not participate in it and had to be protected from the outside. This kind of forced escape was very uncomfortable.

"Too weak. Even a highly anticipated genius is still a fragile baby in the eyes of the elders." Xie Mao looked intently at the laboratory in front of him without squinting.

He wants to see the explosion with his own eyes, he wants to see the mountain collapse, and he wants to see the results immediately.

After a short but unbearable wait, a violent explosion roared like thunder, the whole mountain roared angrily, and the terrifying ground shaking was like an earthquake. Everyone felt that the world was shaking.

Boom boom boom!!!

Continuous vibrations and explosions intertwined, as if two natural disasters were coming at the same time. Large cracks spread from the entrance of the laboratory and spread into the mountain cavity. What followed was a sky full of dust and yellow sand, so rich that it was even

Can block light.

Xie Mao covered his ears and opened his mouth wide, trying to protect his ears as much as possible, but the violent shaking and noise still made him unstable and dizzy.

But at this time, an arm pressed on Xie Mao's shoulder, forcibly stabilizing Xie Mao's body. In the countless smoke and dust, Xie Mao could only squint and saw that it was Ye Canghu who was standing next to him.

Lived him.

The explosion and vibration gradually subsided. Although there was still a rumbling echo, it was the end.

Was it successful... Xie Mao turned his gaze and looked away, coughing.

Ye Cang had similar thoughts, and immediately ignored the harsh environment and said, "I'll go in and take a look."

After saying that, she ran forward, and Xie Mao followed her immediately without hesitation.

The door to the laboratory should have been blocked by fallen rocks, but a team of ninjas used earth escape ninjutsu to guard it, leaving room for entry and exit.

Snap!

The shoes of the two people stepped on the gravel. Due to the obstruction of the dust, they could not see too far, but they could see that the entire laboratory had been completely destroyed. The moonlight filtered through from the collapsed mountain top and shone brightly in front of them.

Everything looks like dilapidated ruins.

The "national domain" that seemed to be able to sweep everything away disappeared, and the sand puppets were buried together, but what about the other ninjas?

"Grandma!" Xie Mao shouted, taking a mouthful of dust.

"I am here."

Chiyo's dull voice came from under the gravel. With a rumbling sound, the gravel was lifted up, revealing the puppet underneath. The intact Chiyo walked out from under the puppet, glanced at the dust in the sky, and flicked his fingers.

stand up.

The three puppets that had previously performed the "Three Treasures Absorption" were pulled together by chakra threads. They opened the mechanism again, and powerful suction burst out. Most of the dust was cleared away in a few seconds, revealing broken rocks everywhere.

laboratory.

Kazama and other ninjas all used their own protection methods and walked out of the rubble during this time.

"Where's the Nidaime?" Ye Cang scanned the audience.

"Over there!" shouted a ninja who was good at detection.
Chapter completed!
