Chapter 217: Human Experiments in Sand Village, Civilians Become Test Subjects

Rain Country, border valley.

After winter, the weather becomes bone-chillingly cold.

Now it is only a few hours before nightfall, and a little glow can be seen faintly in the sky. The temperature is already very cold at this moment.

"..."

Yashamaru, with a delicate face like a woman, stood outside the temporary tent, and felt the sound of wind and rain whistling in his ears and gradually frowned.

This place is far away from the capital of the Rain Country, and there are few places with people. Even if there are some residential settlements, most of them have been destroyed and only debris remains.

"This small country's horrible weather is really annoying."

A Sand Ninja walked out of the tent, complained, patted Yashamaru on the shoulder and asked: "What are you doing standing here? Aren't you cold?"

"Nothing." Yashamaru smiled perfunctorily, looked into the distance and said, "It's just... I don't know why, I have insomnia."

"Maybe it's because it's your first time on the front line. Don't worry, this should be the safest place, much safer than those unlucky people who have to face "poisonous weapons."

The Sand Ninja comforted casually, with a gloating tone, and waved his hand and said: "Then I'll go back first, you should rest early, we will take turns on duty tomorrow morning."

Yashamaru sighed subconsciously and glanced at the sky above the valley.

The valley was full of jagged rocks, mixed with bare gravel of owlwood.

Suddenly, Yashamaru's eyes gradually narrowed, and he frowned and said, "What is that?"

"Hmm?" The Sand Ninja who had turned around to leave was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously followed his gaze to the horizon, "What what?"

In the gradually darkening sky in the distance, it seemed that a row of flying birds stretched their wings and cast a black shadow on the ground.

"Captain, it seems that we have been discovered."

In the horizon, the sky ninja with eyepieces looked down at the valley and said.

"No, we are going to attack." The captain of the sky ninja raised the ninja tool in his hand and said coldly, "Listen to my orders, load, one round, volley!"

At the same time, in the valley, a trace of doubt flashed across Yashamaru's narrowed eyes.

The black shadows in the sky are very small, but they can indeed be seen.

Birds?

In this country, in this kind of weather, there are still birds?

In a flash, several thoughts flashed through Yashamaru's mind.

Just then, he saw a row of thin reflective points flying towards this side at a very fast speed.

A sense of death surged into his heart at this moment, and Yashamaru tilted his head in a daze, almost driven by his body's instinct.

He only heard the harsh sound of wind passing by his ears, and a bullet passed through the tent behind him, making a subtle sound of tearing the tarpaulin, and the stinging pain was transmitted from his ears to his brain.

He covered his ears belatedly, and felt his hands wet, and his expression instantly became painful.

But the Sand Ninja behind him was not so lucky.

Puff! Bang! !

Blood bloomed in Yashamaru's afterglow, and the bullet hit his right eye and burst into blood. He fell backwards in astonishment, and hit the ground with a dull sound.

Yashamaru didn't care about his bloody right ear, and shrank his whole body and rolled quickly to the side of the stone.

A buzzing sound broke the silence, and hundreds of flying ninja tools with wings spread, like a silver-gray cloud, slowly enlarged in Yashamaru's eyes.

"Enemy attack!!"

As the roar of shock and anger sounded, bullets like rain shot towards the camp, instantly tearing the tents into pieces, splashing blood flowers in the rain!

In an instant, all the Sand Ninjas stationed in the valley were alarmed.

Without caring about the companions who were lucky enough to survive and were still wailing after being hit, the Sand Ninjas who had gathered scattered around without hesitation.

"Those people are... Air Ninjas?!"

Some of the Sand Ninjas instantly recognized those iconic flying ninja tools and wondered: "Haven't they appeared for a long time after invading Konoha?!"

"Why did the Air Ninjas appear here? What are they going to do?"

"Go and report to Lord Duomu!"

In the sky, the Air Ninjas just stared coldly at the Sand Ninjas below, raised the continuous shooting ninja tools in their hands and pulled the trigger downwards.

In an instant, the whole sky could only hear the harsh sound of the wind, as if it was about to fill the whole world's void.

Bang bang bang! !

A large number of bullets were ejected from the muzzle, piercing the air with a terrifying whistling sound.

At the same time, Yashamaru glanced at the position behind him where the bullet hit. The pupils that suddenly enlarged reflected a very deep and small hole, and the spiral fine lines around it were clearly visible.

Wind attribute chakra was condensed on the bullet? !

"Don't block it!"

He shouted in fear, but his reminder was too late.

The Sand Ninjas below subconsciously raised their weapons and aimed at the bullets flying towards them with precision and force...

Puff! Puff! !

"Ah!!"

The ninja tools used by Bird Thrush and others are no longer the crude ninja tools of the past, but advanced ninja tools that have been improved by the research institute and have been replaced for several generations. They can convert chakra into wind attribute through the embedded device.

Driven by the wind attribute chakra, the firing speed and power of the bullets far exceed the power of ordinary ninjas shooting kunai.

The terrifying penetrating ability instantly pierced through the bodies of the Sand Ninjas, and screams and wails of pain and fear echoed throughout the entire Sand Ninja camp.

Projectiles were fired one after another. Yashamaru spread his fingers while dodging, and stretched the chakra line in his hand towards the ninja bag.

"Ninpo Technique: Attacking Blade!"

Several kunai were pulled out by silk threads, surrounding him for defense, and sparks burst out one after another.

The other Sunagakure ninjas, like Yashamaru, suffered heavy casualties because they were caught off guard, but they were well-trained ninjas after all, and they quickly suppressed the fear in their hearts and maintained their offensive and defensive formations.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

Dozens of Sunagakure ninjas formed seals at the same time in tacit understanding, and the strong wind spitting out of their mouths blew up countless rainwater, wreaking havoc on the incoming wind escape projectiles.

The momentum of the Wind Release Ninjutsu instantly overwhelmed the rain of projectiles, and also caused the big stones in the hearts of those Sunagakure ninjas to fall instantly.

"That's it! Maintain the formation!"

Yashamaru cheered up his companions and said loudly: "Don't panic, they only have a hundred people, Master Dome and the others will be here soon!"

The sky ninjas kept hovering over the valley, like hawks waiting for their prey to relax.

He didn't expect to use such bullets against Sunagakure's elite ninjas.

If they can be dealt with so easily, the great ninjas may not be so worthless.

At the front of the herringbone formation, Captain Kong Nin made a gesture and said coldly: "Reload!"

After hearing the order, the Kong Ninjas all took out the red projectiles from the ninja tool bags on their arms and put them into their own ninja tool magazines.

At the same time, the Sunagakure ninjas below felt that the offensive above them was weakening.

"These guys underestimate us! Pay attention to cover and use Wind Escape to deal with these damn bats!"

The Sunagakure ninjas who are good at wind release ninjutsu formed seals with their hands to prepare powerful offensive ninjutsu, while the sand hidden ninjas who were good at earth release ninjutsu stayed beside them and used ninjutsu to build defensive fortresses.

At the moment when the chakra in his body was about to be released, several projectiles drew bright red tracks in the dark night, falling towards the Sunagakure crowd below at a speed that was almost projectile.

"No! Why is it so slow?"

Seeing those projectiles with completely different firing speeds from before, Yashamaru felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

I saw that the falling projectiles were getting bigger and bigger in the field of vision.

The ninjutsu of those wind escape ninjas were also released directly at this moment.

However, when he finally saw what it was, Yashamaru's expression suddenly changed.

That breath of fire attribute chakra...

"Get down!"

"don't want!"

"That was the detonation..."

Before Yashamaru and several Sunagakure ninjas had time to finish shouting, those wind escape ninjutsus met the red projectiles in the sky...

boom! Boom boom boom! !

The originally dark and calm night sky was suddenly replaced by roaring sounds, and the entire sky lit up like noon.

Smoke, rain, and mist bloomed in all directions accompanied by fire, and the Sunagakure ninjas were swept away by the impact of the explosion.

Some of the projectiles that were not triggered exploded on the ground, and the Sunagakure ninjas within a radius of several meters were blown into pieces before they even had time to scream.

————————

"It seems they have already taken action."

At the same time, in the deepest part of the valley, even the sky above was blocked by the valley.

Yahiko turned his head and looked into the distance behind him, and could see orange-red "fireworks" suddenly bursting out in the originally gloomy night.

The sky that had darkened was illuminated again by the light of the fire, as if a blood-red waning moon was rising in this valley, so gorgeous and beautiful that it couldn't be imagined.

But behind this beautiful picture, there was a sudden scream!

The scorching fire light invaded from a distance, and the temperature of the air began to rise. The heat rushed towards Yahiko's face, mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

In the quiet night, the sound of bombing is purer and duller than usual. It is the weight of life...

Yahiko opened his eyes, turned to look at the door in front of him, and Nagato standing in front of the door, frowned and said, "Can't you open it?"

"It's a bit troublesome." Nagato put his hand on the alloy door, felt it carefully and frowned, "Mechanical lock, made of a special alloy made of one piece."

"It seems like it's not an ordinary trouble." Yahiko was also a little helpless, "I asked, this is the only way to enter below."

"...Then there's nothing we can do."

Nagato was silent for a moment, then took a few steps back.

"Huh?" Yahiko was also pushed back by him and was about to ask.

However, he saw that nine scarlet thorns as thick as arms suddenly emerged from his tailbone and gradually twisted together in a spiral.

Cackling! Creak!

After a heart-wrenching sound, the nine thorns were twisted into an extremely thick one, and then kicked loudly on the alloy door in front of them.

Bang! !

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted between the two, almost like a crazy giant turtle crashing into the gate, causing Yahiko, who had keen senses, to cover his ears with a look of pain on his face.

"What are you doing..."

After a while, the sharp sound in his ears dissipated, Yahiko complained and looked up, swallowing the next words immediately.

I saw an obvious dent on the alloy door, and a large number of cracks on the part of the wall connecting it to the wall.

"So hard."

Looking at the flesh and blood thorns on his body, Nagato frowned and shook away the scarlet juice.

"...You're pretty hard too." Yahiko gritted his teeth in a sore tone.

What kind of strange power is this?

Is this the strength a weakling like you should have?

Seeing Nagato step back a few steps and want to attack again, Yahiko's eyes twitched and he quickly reached out to stop him and said: "Wait a minute, do you have any misunderstanding about the word infiltration?"

"Infiltration is to complete the operation without any witnesses. If you are discovered, just kill them." Nagato frowned, retorted with dissatisfaction, and asked back: "Do you have a better way?"

Yahiko scratched his head and muttered: "I should have brought the new bomb given by the group of explosion maniacs in the equipment research and development department."

"...Then we are not sure whether we can walk here alive."

Ignoring Nagato's cold joke, Yahiko looked at the huge alloy door again, touched his chin, and looked at the knife on his waist. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and stretched out a finger: "Hey, got it!"

————————

Squeak!

The extremely hot red blade twisted the surrounding air and passed through the alloy door. The places it passed through melted like water and flowed on the ground.

A door shape was drawn that was large enough for one person to pass through. With a gentle push, a large piece of alloy fell to the ground with a bang.

"Hehe."

The long sword made a knife flower in his hand, and Yahiko inserted it into the scabbard and smiled: "I said it would work."

Silently moving his senses away from the sword, Nagato vaguely pulled a little distance away.

The temperature of this sword is somewhat scary.

When approaching just now, Nagato felt as if it was about to self-ignite.

It seems that this guy has never relaxed at ordinary times...

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go." Nagato shook off his messy thoughts and stepped onto the stairs leading down. Yahiko hurriedly followed.

As the two of them went deeper, only their breathing and footsteps could be heard around them. They were in a silent stairwell surrounded by walls on all sides. There was nothing else except walls and stairs, and they did not meet any guards on the way.

Yahiko couldn't even remember how long he had been walking. He only knew that he was walking down, but he couldn't see the end of the spiral staircase.

It was as if this road led to hell. The further he went down, the more uneasy he felt.

Looking at the gate outside, this place must be very important, but it was so easy to break in without encountering any obstacles.

Even if the air ninja attracted the attention of the Sand Village ninjas, there should be some defense here, right?

Yahiko was still thinking this in his heart, but Nagato suddenly stopped.

Bang!

Yahiko felt like he had hit a wall. He couldn't help but take a breath and rubbed his forehead and said, "What are you doing?"

"..."

Looking at the suddenly bright and empty area in front of him, Nagato lowered his head and took a deep breath, and his cheeks even twitched slightly because of anger.

"Sand Village, you are looking for death!!"

Yahiko was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked over Nagato's shoulder, and he froze in place.

In the huge and wide space, dense black shadows were hung upside down like a forest. The faces of each black shadow could be vaguely seen by the candlelight around them.

They were pale and expressionless faces, with their eyes closed and as quiet as newborn babies.

But their abdomens were cut open, and their internal organs were hollowed out.

The limbs that hung naturally made a crackling sound, like wooden dolls.

The most primitive fear and weirdness slowly permeated the air.
