LRAB Chapter 445 Sandworm
Chapter 445 Sandworm
It took some time for Chiyo's Eternal Kaleidoscope to be completed in the Land of Waves.
The clone then led a group of children back to Konoha.
Chiyo gave the quest scroll to Karin, asking her to lead everyone to turn in the quest.
The group had done this mission many times before, so they were naturally very familiar with it.
However, when they arrived at the mission hall, they immediately noticed something was wrong.
The once bustling task hall is now nearly empty.
Basically, only those who come back to turn in the quest do not accept it.
"Hmm, something seems off?" Naruto scratched his head.
If he could see it, then naturally everyone else could too.
"Master specifically sent us here to complete this mission; he must want to tell us something!" Karin said cleverly.
Sasuke observed the ninjas who came to hand in their missions.
"Look."
He quietly reminded everyone.
Sasuke pointed to the ninjas who had come to complete their missions; each of them had a serious expression on their face, even looking preoccupied.
Hinata whispered, "When we entered the village, I noticed that more people were returning."
Gaara said in a deep voice, "Observe for a while longer."
The group began to observe from a corner of the mission hall.
The more they looked, the more they felt something was wrong.
Konoha ninjas are basically all about going in and not coming out; once they've handed in a mission, they never take on another.
It's important to understand that ninjas don't always have good missions to do.
The civilian ninjas will only have a day or two to rest before they have to get busy again.
It's almost unheard of for ninjas to keep returning like today, only to not take on any missions and go out again.
This situation undoubtedly indicates that Konoha needs a large number of ninjas.
The group exchanged glances: "The Ninja World War!?"
Although they had carried out many missions and taken many lives, this was the first time they had encountered the Ninja World War.
When Karin went out with Chiyo last time, she only assisted him and had no idea how many people in the Cloud Village had died.
It seems like a real war is about to break out, otherwise the village wouldn't be making these preparations for war.
Karin waved her little hand: "Let's go find Master!"
……
Sunagakure Village.
Because of the unfavorable situation in the ninja world, Sunagakure is also actively preparing for war.
Originally, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind did not want to allocate funds to Rasa, but he could not resist the frequent actions of Iwagakure and Kumogakure.
Perhaps feeling that this was a good opportunity, the daimyo of the Land of Wind allocated a considerable sum of money to Rasa, which is quite unusual.
Rasa was not idle either; he was reading records about the Uchiha clan.
To be precise, it refers to the records of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha during the period when the village was first established.
After reading it, Luo Sha pinched the bridge of his nose.
These records are only better than nothing and cannot be used as a reference.
The Susanoo of Madara mentioned in the records is not the same as the Susanoo of the current Uchiha Chiyo.
When Madara and Hashirama established the ninja village, they already possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Its combat power is already on par with the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, so its performance is naturally much more terrifying than Senyo's Susanoo, which is over ten meters tall.
Madara's Susanoo was larger than a mountain peak and took the form of a war god.
Wings that transform from the armor on its back and are equipped with two swords allow it to soar through the skies.
A mountain can be easily cleaved in two with just a swing of a weapon.
These are all descriptions of Madara Susanoo.
However, the fact that the records about the Uchiha were too terrifying caused many people to feel a sense of disconnect.
Some people believe that Madara Uchiha was an unparalleled genius among the Uchiha clan in the past thousand years, which is why his combat power reached such a level.
Others believe that these descriptions are fabricated or exaggerated, and that Susanoo is not actually that big or that strong.
Luo Sha prefers the former.
But one thing is certain: since Madara's death, no Uchiha clan as strong as Madara has emerged in the area for decades.
So even though Senyo is strong now, Sunagakure doesn't think they can't beat him.
Based on current intelligence, Chiyo's Susanoo can only reach a little over ten meters.
Compared to Madara's Susanoo, it's simply incomparable, utterly incomparable.
We can still think of a way to deal with something that's over ten meters long.
"Lord Kazekage, we have discovered traces of sandworms."
At this moment, the secret service came in to report.
Luo Sha's eyes lit up: "Alright, take the sealing team and let's set off immediately!"
……
Compared to the vast and resource-rich Land of Fire.
The Land of Wind is poor in resources and has a very limited variety of species.
However, the Land of Wind is not entirely devoid of large creatures.
Besides the common desert creatures, the Land of Wind also has a gigantic creature called the sandworm (see Dune Sandworm).
The diameter of a sandworm's head is five to eight meters, and its body can easily reach hundreds of meters in length.
They typically roam beneath the desert and feed on various minerals.
Its outer skin is extremely tough, and it possesses immense strength. In its earlier years, it caused some chaos in the Land of Wind.
But later, Sunagakure was established, and not only did it possess tailed beasts, it also had a Kazekage who could use Magnet Release.
Sandworm skin is a very expensive export leather product, and the flesh of the body also has high medicinal value.
Sandworms were naturally killed off almost to extinction.
As for why this thing isn't used as a summoning beast, it's because sandworms aren't very suitable for environments other than deserts.
Moreover, this creature has a huge appetite, and minerals are essential, so it's simply unaffordable to raise.
This invasion of the Land of Fire was hampered by a lack of means to counter Susanoo.
Luo Sha naturally sent people out to see if they could find the sand worms.
He didn't really have much hope, after all, sandworms were now very rare.
He had been panning for gold for many years, but he had only seen it a few times.
I never expected to be so lucky.
……
On a sand dune in the Land of Wind.
Luo Sha flew over, stepping on a sand-gold mat.
The scout ninja below was waving a small flag.
After Luo Sha fell down, he pointed to a sand pit inside.
The sandpit had obvious depressions and piles of things that looked like small mountains.
That's sandworm feces.
Luo Sha stepped off the sand mat, placed his hands on the sand dune, and closed his eyes.
It is controlling more and more sand.
Luo Sha quickly sensed the sandworms feeding, and there was more than one!
He opened his eyes, his gaze filled with eagerness.
Although raising sandworms is quite costly, it can be sustained for a short period of time.
Soon, the sealing team arrived as well.
Luo Sha roughly drew a circle on the ground and then pointed out the location of the sand worm.
The sealing team quickly went down to make arrangements.
The reason why the people who came over didn't speak is because sandworms are very sensitive to human voices.
If they hear someone speaking, they are very likely to run away.
After about an hour, the sealing team took out a flag and waved it to indicate that they had finished.
Luo Sha stepped onto the gold dust mat and flew up, arriving near the sand pit.
He clasped his hands together, and a massive amount of chakra began to condense.
He then jumped off the sand mat and slapped the ground with both palms.
The members of the sealing team also formed hand seals at the same time, and the sealing barrier for the entire area was formed.
As the ground shook, two ferocious heads suddenly emerged!
