Chapter 250 Sand Scorpion Swarm
However, Sakumo Hatake did not notice the surprised expressions on his subordinates' faces.
He simply extended his hand calmly.
"map."
A ninja snapped back to his senses and, without the slightest hesitation, respectfully took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag and handed it over.
"sough--"
The scroll was unfurled on the scorching sand; it was a topographical map drawn by the Eye of the West itself, with details down to every undulation of the surrounding dunes.
Sakumo Hatake crouched down and took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch.
He didn't act immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Shirin Aburame beside him.
"..."
Shirin Aburame understood immediately.
He extended a finger, and tiny, almost imperceptible parasites flew out from his sleeve.
The man closed his eyes, as if he had become one with the desert.
A few seconds later, Shirin Aburame opened her eyes and gently tapped a certain coordinate on the map.
right here.
A glint flashed in Hatake Sakumo's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he drew a huge circle on the sand with the point pointed to by Aburame Shirin as the center.
The movements were precise and steady, and the arcs drawn were so perfect that they seemed to have been measured with a compass, without a single flaw.
Watching this scene, Inuzuka Tsubasa's lips began to twitch irregularly.
He felt that Sakumo's obsessive-compulsive disorder seemed to have become more severe after he became the farm manager.
After drawing the area, Hatake Sakumo stood up, pointed at the huge circle, and said in a cold voice.
"Earth Release Squad, heed my command!"
More than ten ninjas skilled in earth-style techniques immediately stepped forward and dispersed to various positions in the circle.
"The task is to raise the sand and soil in this circular area by ten meters."
He paused, then added in a tone reminiscent of explaining the disassembly steps of a precision instrument.
"Note that the ascent process must be kept absolutely smooth, and the chakra output error must not exceed three percent."
"Avoid alerting the target and causing unnecessary losses."
"Do you understand?"
"yes!"
More than ten ninjas responded in unison, their voices carrying a hint of barely suppressed strangeness.
Use a combined improved version of Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall technique to do this...
This was their first time.
And it's such an abnormally delicate job.
"very good."
Sakumo Hatake stepped back a few paces, giving them space to cast his spell. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, as if he were inspecting an army about to launch a general offensive.
"Form hand seals!"
At a command, more than ten Konoha ninjas immediately began to move their hands rapidly, the intricate hand seals flashing through their palms like butterflies flitting among flowers.
"Earth Release: Combined Technique - Earth Flow Wall!"
As they completed their last seal, they simultaneously placed their palms on the sand.
There was no earth-shattering noise or flying sand and gravel.
The ground began to tremble very slightly in the huge circular area drawn by the kunai.
"Buzz—"
Followed by.
Immediately afterwards, the huge circular sand dune seemed to be held up by an invisible giant hand and began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sand at the edge cascaded down like a golden waterfall, revealing a deep, moist, and firm cross-section of the sand.
One meter, two meters, three meters...
A massive cylinder made of sand, comparable to a city wall, is being forcibly and inch by inch raised from the desert.
The scene was spectacular and grand, yet its purpose made it all the more bizarre.
Inuzuka Tsubasa stared in disbelief at everything, and the dog beside him, Mokuyu, stopped wagging its tail and let out a surprised whimper.
"boom--"
As the cylinder steadily rose to a height of ten meters, a violent commotion erupted from its base with the final tremor.
Large chunks of sand finally gave way and collapsed with a crash.
For the first time, the scorching sunlight shone into this dark kingdom buried deep underground.
Countless golden sand scorpions, larger than ordinary domestic dogs, were exposed to the light of day.
Startled by the sudden upheaval, dozens of enormous pincers waved aimlessly in mid-air.
The venomous stinger at its tail gleamed with a deadly, eerie blue light, emitting a rapid, clicking sound, like a bewildered and disorganized heavy armored legion.
Sakumo Hatake stood quietly in front of the slowly rising sand disc, the wind blowing his signature long white hair.
He looked at the hundreds of panicked, high-quality scorpions before him, his face, which had once struck fear into the hearts of countless enemies, remained completely expressionless.
The kind of look that only a top-tier farmer would reveal when examining the precious assets that are about to be acquired.
A pure, satisfied look in their eyes.
"Get ready."
Shuo Mao's voice was soft, yet it clearly drowned out the cracking sound made by hundreds of sand scorpions.
The Konoha ninja behind them sprang into action instantly.
They were divided into several groups, each holding a large net woven from special metal wires.
The mesh was tough and shimmered with a faint metallic sheen, clearly prepared specifically for this operation.
"It's in!"
Inuzuka Tsubasa let out an excited roar and charged out like a cannonball.
"Wood oil! Drive them together!"
"Woof!"
The ninja dog, Mokuyu, let out a loud bark, its four limbs leaping off the sand, transforming into a streak of brown lightning, and together with its master, it flanked the massive sand dune from the left and right.
The Inuzuka clan's duty is to drive away and surround.
They were like the most experienced shepherds, and these deadly sand scorpions were the flock of sheep they needed to herd.
"Wuhu~~"
Inuzuka Tsubasa and Mokuyu merged into one as they spun at high speed, transforming into a violent tornado. However, instead of rushing towards the scorpion swarm, it swept past the outer edge of the sand disc at high speed.
The swirling winds and sand created a moving wall that slammed against the sand scorpions trying to escape from the edge, forcing them back to the center.
In an instant, the scorpion swarm became even more chaotic, its huge pincers flailing wildly, unable to find a target to attack.
"Whoosh—"
Just then, Sakumo Hatake made a move.
Without the wild ferocity of Inuzuka Tsubasa, he silently blended into the battlefield.
He lightly leaped up from the sand, landing on an earthen wall constructed by several ninjas.
