The news that Yoru had killed Asakura Kira, the Sunagakure Kage-level powerhouse known as the "Sunagakure Demon Reaper," stirred up a violent storm across the entire shinobi world!
One had to know that Asakura Kira was a veteran Kage-level powerhouse! Even in the shinobi world, he was counted among the truly powerful!
After the battle broke out, all the reconnaissance ninjas in the surrounding area had been killed by Yoru However, the nearest Sunagakure reconnaissance ninjas only needed ten minutes to reach the battlefield!
And in that unit, there had also been two quasi-Kage powerhouses and nearly a hundred Sand ninjas!
Such a powerful lineup had actually been wiped out by Yoru so cleanly and decisively!
By the time those few Sunagakure reconnaissance ninjas arrived at the battlefield, what entered their eyes was a scene of utter helplessness and horror.
As for the transport unit, not even bones remained!
It had only been ten minutes!
A powerful unit with one veteran Kage-level powerhouse and two quasi-Kage powerhouses had been annihilated by that demon!
And the orange magma left those Sunagakure reconnaissance ninjas completely shocked.
Without a doubt, this was the magma ability of that Konoha Red Demon!
But why was it orange?!
The reconnaissance ninjas recorded the battlefield situation onto intelligence scrolls, split into two groups, and rapidly delivered the urgent intelligence separately toward Sunagakure's frontline base camp and Sunagakure Village.
Sunagakure frontline camp.
Command tent.
All of Sunagakure's frontline higher-ups had gathered here. Every person's face carried an expression of disbelief.
"Y-You're joking, right, Lady Chiyo?"
Someone had cold sweat on his face as he forced a smile, looking toward Chiyo, who sat in the main seat with an extremely ugly expression.
"That was our Sunagakure Demon Reaper… and Lord Komatsu and Lord Aso were there too."
The Lord Komatsu and Lord Aso this Sand ninja mentioned were the two quasi-Kage powerhouses of Sunagakure.
"This is a joke, right, Lady Chiyo?! It has to be a joke, right?!"
Seeing Chiyo remain silent, the Sand ninja's voice grew louder and louder, until in the end, he was practically roaring.
Yet in the tent, despite such intense disrespectful behavior, none of the Sand ninjas, including Ebizo, stepped forward to stop him.
They also did not want to believe this intelligence was true.
"N-No way. Hahahahaha! Lady Chiyo, you must be joking. This joke isn't funny at all."
As the Sand ninja spoke, he could not help but burst into loud laughter.
This terrifying news had broken this poor Sand ninja.
Chiyo ignored the Sand ninja whose mind had already collapsed. She stared fixedly at the intelligence scroll in her hand, as if by staring at it hard enough, the information written on it would change.
After a long while, Chiyo waved her hand. Several Sand ninjas stepped forward and dragged away the Sand ninja who had been laughing neurotically the entire time.
Even as that Sand ninja was dragged out, he continued laughing and shouting, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Inside the tent, everything fell into an eerie silence.
The frontline commanders of Sunagakure all sank into silence.
"Seal off this news."
After a long silence, Chiyo, seated in the main seat, finally spoke.
"Absolutely do not allow this news to spread through the camp!"
"Yes, Lady Chiyo."
The Sand ninjas inside the tent responded weakly.
Their morale had fallen to its lowest point!
After the Sand ninjas in the tent left, Ebizo hurriedly spoke.
"This is all my responsibility!"
Chiyo interrupted Ebizo's words, confusion flickering in her eyes.
"Let's wait for news from the village."
Ebizo also fell silent.
Asakura Kira!
One of Sunagakure's only three Kage-level powerhouses!
Just like that, he was dead!
The impact of this was far too great!
And Chiyo, who had formulated this operation plan, was now in serious trouble!
Sunagakure Village.
Kazekage Building.
"Trash! All of you are trash!"
The normally steady Third Kazekage now looked like a wounded beast, smashing the documents on his desk toward the Sand ninjas before him as he roared furiously.
"What the hell is the intelligence department doing?! What kind of monster is this Yoru?!"
The Third Kazekage stood up from his seat and kicked several Sand ninjas from the intelligence department to the floor with heavy thuds.
"Orange magma? How could orange magma appear?! Can this monster's magma actually upgrade?!"
Yoru's magma had changed from dark red to blood-red, and now it had actually become orange! Its power had also grown increasingly terrifying!
After analysis, the Third Kazekage came to this conclusion.
"What bullshit about him being a newly promoted Kage-level group-combat ninja?! He killed Asakura Kira! Is this the conclusion your intelligence department reached, that Yoru isn't good at single-target combat?"
The Third Kazekage truly wanted to slaughter everyone in the intelligence department!
Every year, so many resources were given to the intelligence department, yet such a massive mistake had appeared!
And this mistake had completely buried one of Sunagakure's top-tier combat forces!
One had to know that Sunagakure only had three Kage-level combatants!
Now that they had lost one Kage-level powerhouse, this was a great disaster for Sunagakure Village!
Kage-level powerhouses were the foundation of a great hidden village!
They were the true base of its strength!
Every additional Kage-level powerhouse was an enormous blessing for a hidden village!
And losing one Kage-level powerhouse was a disaster!
Sunagakure Village was located in the resource-poor Land of Wind to begin with, and the number of geniuses in the village was also not high. It could be said that among the Five Great Hidden Villages, it was one of the villages with the fewest Kage-level powerhouses.
And the reason they had lost such a precious combat force was actually a major mistake from the intelligence department!
They had seriously misjudged Yoru's strength!
After venting his rage, the Third Kazekage panted heavily and returned to the Kazekage's seat.
His expression was ugly, and his eyes flickered.
This Yoru was far too terrifying!
His kekkei genkai could actually evolve!
How long had it been? He was already able to kill Asakura Kira!
If he were given more time, wouldn't he be able to kill even the Third Kazekage himself?
When he thought of Yoru's current age, the Third Kazekage became more and more alarmed.
No!
He absolutely could not allow this Yoru to keep growing!
The Third Kazekage made up his mind.
"Go! Gather all combat personnel in the village who can be mobilized, and bring the One-Tail Jinchuriki here as well. I will personally lead the troops to the front line!"
The Third Kazekage finally made his decision!
He had to immediately fight a decisive battle against Konoha!
Otherwise, if they continued dragging this out, Sunagakure would definitely lose!
"Y-Yes! Lord Kazekage!"
After recovering from his shock, a Sand ninja hurriedly responded and quickly rushed out of the Kazekage Building to convey the Kazekage's order.
None of the other Sunagakure higher-ups voiced any objections.
They were not idiots. Naturally, they knew that if this continued, that Yoru would only become even more terrifying. And on the frontal battlefield, Orochimaru and the others were also growing rapidly.
When that time came, Sunagakure Village would undoubtedly be defeated!
