Red sand dust

In the border area between the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Grass, Onoki led a group of rock ninja elites and performed a wide range of earth escape and ultra-light heavy rock techniques. They were floating in the air, waiting for the ambush to come. Courier".

"Lord Tsuchikage, is it really useful to wait here?"

"How do I know? Whether the other party will pass here is unknown!"

"That……"

Chitu, who was following him, was a little confused. When he wanted to ask again, he didn't know where to start.

"Just leave it to fate! If it doesn't work, you can just go to Tsunade. Doesn't she want to promote harmonious coexistence in the ninja world? At worst, I just bow my head and give in. It should be useful..."

Iwagakure Village, which has never formed an alliance with any shinobi village, pursues a policy of unity and isolation due to Onoki's personal will.

Even the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja teamed up to attack Konoha Village and conspired to destroy the Uzumaki Clan in the Country of Uzumaki. In the past few decades, the Iwa Ninja has actually cooperated with ninjas from other countries zero times. The Sand Ninja is even more exaggerated. It's really smelly and hard, and no one likes it.

The Iwa ninjas, who were hidden behind the clouds, endured the cold wind at high altitudes and were alert to the nearby chakra fluctuations.

After a long time, Onoki said to himself worriedly:

"Given the other party's speed, they should be almost there. There is still no movement. Could it be that they really missed it?"

The sky is vast and there are no terrain restrictions. It is impossible to completely block it with limited manpower, even if a large sensory barrier is deployed.

At this moment, a roar came from far and near in the sky, like bursts of thunder coming from overhead.

The surprised Iwa Ninjas raised their heads and looked at the blue-gray sky above the clouds, glowing with the golden halo of the sun.

"coming?"

Akatsuki looked happy and looked at the sentient ninjas around him, but found nothing.

Looking around, there was no one passing by, not even the wild geese or swans flying high.

"Is it really the sound of thunder in the distance?"

Onoki murmured to himself, realizing that his hope was gradually fading, and he couldn't help but feel even more disappointed.

At an altitude of more than ten kilometers away, Daimaru passed over Iwa Ninja's head and looked back with a mocking look on his face.

"A bunch of idiots want to set up an ambush in the sky to catch me. What a wishful thinking!" 』

The puppet ghost flying at full speed was far faster than the speed of sound. By the time they heard the sound wave vibration of Daimaru controlling the puppet to pass quickly, Daimaru was already far away from them and it was impossible to catch up.

It was impossible to detect it with the naked eye in advance. Daimaru, who was deliberately concealing himself, used Wind Release and Polarizing Killing Formation. With his current strength and manipulation ability, few ninjas could detect it without getting too close.

During aerial combat, unconventional flying postures such as sudden stops and changes of direction are required. Daimaru's speed advantage is obvious, but it is not desperate.

Throwing aside all restrictions, Daimaru is running at full speed. Unless the Ten-Tails is resurrected or the time and space ninjutsu is used, it is impossible to get Daimaru.

After crossing the border of the Kingdom of Wind and entering the Kingdom of Rain, it took less than half an hour to leave the Kingdom of Rain; another fifteen minutes later, it crossed the southwest corner of the Kingdom of Grass and broke into the Kingdom of Fire.

After a few minutes, Daimaru, who felt that no one could catch up, slowed down slightly and controlled the puppet ghost to fly towards Konoha Village at a constant speed.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly recovered his chakra. He turned around and looked at Lao Zi, who was tied tightly in the corner behind him. He didn't find anything unusual, and his slightly raised heart was relieved.

Originally, Daimaru didn't think anyone could keep up with his speed. There were not many powerful ninjas who could fly. If Daimaru wanted to escape, Nagato would probably not be able to stop him. The Rinnegan was not his, and there was a threat from the Heavenly Way. The secret techniques of Vientiane Sky Yin and Earth Explosion Sky Star cannot fully exert their power.

Daimaru, who was originally able to reach Konoha Village earlier, slowed down slightly after flying over the dangerous zone to make his chakra as abundant as possible, just in case.

You need to pay attention to the risks on the road. Konoha Village may not be safe. After all, it is not the Sand Hidden Village where you can be reckless. There are several powerful ninjas there who can threaten you. If something happens and you are not in good condition, it will be bad.

In the early hours of the morning, even in Konoha Village, which was very lively years ago, most places were dark. Except for a few street lights on the main roads, only Konoha Hospital and the Hokage's House were brightly lit.

Above the Konoha Village, Daimaru controlled the puppet ghost to circle around for several times. He wanted to rush down directly, but he also felt that it would be rude to directly break through the detection barrier, so he let go of some chakra momentum.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, several dark shadows quickly rose into the sky and surrounded Daimaru.

Among the six approaching figures, three were wearing wing armor. Judging from their appearance, Daimaru had a vague impression, but he didn't know their names. The other three were riding giant goshawks and wearing animal masks. They should be ANBU. people.

"It's me, the big gift package from Sunagakure Village has arrived!"

"Is it you, Daimaru?"

Several former air combat force training camp students who had met Daimaru had a deep impression of Daimaru.

"Relax, you're not the enemy!"

Below, Tsunade, who was alarmed, led several subordinates to the rooftop courtyard of the Hokage's house, looking at several figures hovering in the dark sky.

When the real master was in front of him, Daimaru no longer hesitated. He accelerated instantly, passed the Konoha ninja who had no time to react, and landed on the roof of the building with a bang. The shock wave shook the entire Hokage's house.

The ANBU behind Tsunade quickly stepped forward, guarding the leader behind him, taking out their weapons, and guarding Daimaru who appeared from the darkness.

"The building has been reinforced, it's much stronger than last time!"

Daimaru put away the puppet and ghost and threw the four-tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Zi in front of him, and said with a smile,

"Tsunade-sama, the agreed 'goods' have been delivered according to the agreement..."

"It's really fast!"

The calm Tsunade motioned to her subordinates to check Lao Zi's condition, and looked at Daimaru, who seemed to have nothing unusual.

"Our allies are really enthusiastic and sent things over overnight..."

"As long as you are satisfied, we sand ninjas are reliable allies. This trivial matter is not worth mentioning..."

Daimaru said and laughed.

After several ANBU confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Lao Zi, they took him away together with the sealing squad who hurriedly arrived.

Daimaru stepped forward and handed the document prepared by Gaara to the ANBU and forwarded it to Tsunade. After confirming that it was correct, the receipt was returned to Daimaru, and the transaction was completed.

"Is it reliable?"

Tsunade looked dissatisfied with her sleep being disturbed, and said angrily,

"It's enough not to cause us any trouble! Shizune, prepare a hotel for him to rest. If anything happens, we'll talk about it after dawn..."
