Naruto: The villain template of me is regarded as the savior.

Land of Rain, Border Valley.

After winter comes, the weather becomes bitterly cold.

It is only a few hours away from nightfall, and some rays of light can still be seen faintly in the sky. The temperature is already very cold.

"..."

Yashamaru, whose face was as delicate as a woman, stood outside the makeshift tent. He frowned as he felt the whistling sound of wind and rain passing by his ears.

This place is far away from the capital of the Rain Kingdom, and there are rarely places with people. Even if there are some residential settlements, most of them have been destroyed and only ruins are left.

"The horrible weather in this small country 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 like an idiot? Aren't you cold?"

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

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

The Sand Ninja said something to comfort him casually, with a tone of gloating, and waved his hand and said: "Then I will go back first, and you should also rest early. We will have to take turns on duty tomorrow morning."

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

The valley was full of jagged rocks, mixed with the bare gravel of oak trees.

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

"Hmm?" The Sand Ninja who had already 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 as if a row of flying birds spread their wings and cast a black shadow toward the ground.

"Captain, it seems we have been discovered."

At the horizon, the air ninja wearing eyepieces looked down into the valley and spoke.

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

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

The dark shadows in the sky are small, but they can definitely be seen.

Birds?

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

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

Just then, he saw a row of thin reflective spots flying towards him at a very fast speed.

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

All he heard was the sharp sound of wind passing by his ears, and a bullet passed through the tent behind him, making a slight sound of tearing the tarpaulin, and the pain was transmitted from his ears to his brain.

I covered my ears belatedly and felt my hands getting wet, and my expression instantly turned painful.

But the Sand Ninja behind him was not so lucky.

Puff! Bang!

Blood bloomed in Yashamaru's afterglow. The bullet hit his right eye, causing blood to spurt out. He fell backwards in shock, 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 spread wings slowly enlarged in Yashamaru's eyes like a silver-gray cloud.

"Enemy attack!!"

As roars of shock and anger rang out, bullets like raindrops shot towards the camp, instantly tearing the tents into pieces and splashing blood in the rain!

In an instant, all the Sand Village ninjas stationed in the entire valley were alarmed.

Without caring about their companions who had survived the attack and were still wailing, the Sand Ninjas who had gathered together all dispersed in all directions without hesitation.

"Those people are... air ninjas?!"

Some of the Sand Village ninjas instantly recognized those iconic flying ninja tools and asked in surprise: "Haven't they appeared for a long time since they invaded Konoha?!"

"Why are the air ninjas here? What are they going to do?"

"Hurry and report to Lord Duomu!!"

In the sky, the air ninjas just stared coldly at the Sand Ninjas below, raised the rapid-fire ninja tools in their hands and pulled the triggers downwards.

In an instant, the only sound that could be heard in the entire sky was the harsh sound of wind, as if it was about to fill up the entire emptiness of the world.

Bang bang bang! !

A large number of bullets shot out from the muzzle, cutting through the air with a terrifying whistling sound.

At the same time, Yashamaru glanced at the place behind him where the bullet hit. The extremely deep and small hole was reflected in his suddenly enlarged pupils, and the surrounding spiral fine lines were clearly visible.

Wind attribute chakra is condensed on the bullet? !

"Don't block it!"

A shout of fear rang out, but his warning was too late.

The Sand Ninjas below subconsciously raised their weapons and swung them accurately at the bullets flying towards them...

Poof! Poof! !

"what!!"

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 research institutes and have been replaced for several generations. They can convert chakra into wind attributes through built-in devices.

Driven by wind-attribute chakra, the speed and power of the projectile far exceed the power of a kunai fired by an ordinary ninja.

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.

Bullets came one after another. Yashamaru dodged while spreading his five fingers and extending the chakra lines in his hand towards the ninja tool bag.

"Ninjutsu: Blade Manipulation!"

Several kunai were pulled out by the silk threads and surrounded his body in defense, emitting sparks continuously.

The rest of the Sand Village ninjas, like Yashamaru, suffered heavy casualties because they were caught off guard, but they were well-trained ninjas after all, and they quickly suppressed their fear and maintained their offensive and defensive formations.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

Dozens of Sand Village ninjas cooperated tacitly and formed hand seals at the same time. The strong winds from their mouths swept up countless raindrops and wreaked havoc on the incoming wind-style projectiles.

The momentum of the wind-style ninjutsu instantly overwhelmed the rain-like bullets, and also instantly made the huge stones in the hearts of the Sand Village ninjas fall.

"That's it! Maintain the formation!"

Yashamaru encouraged his companions and shouted, "Don't panic, there are only a hundred of them, and Lord Tateme and his men will be here soon!"

The sky ninjas kept circling above the valley, like falcons waiting for their prey to relax.

He hadn't expected to use this kind of bullet against the elite ninjas of Sunagakure.

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

At the front of the V-shaped formation, the captain of the Sky Ninja made a gesture and said in a cold voice: "Reload the ammunition!"

After hearing the order, the air ninjas all took out red bullets from the ninja tool bags on their arms and loaded them into their own ninja tool magazines.

At the same time, the Sand Ninjas below felt that the attack from above had weakened.

"These guys really underestimate us! Pay attention to cover and use wind escape to deal with these damn bats!"

The Sand Village ninjas who were good at wind-style ninjutsu formed seals with their hands to prepare for powerful offensive ninjutsu, while the Sand Village ninjas who were good at earth-style ninjutsu stood beside them and used ninjutsu to build a defensive fortress.

Just as the chakra in the body was about to be released, several bullets drew bright red tracks in the darkness and fell towards the Sand Village people below at almost projectile speed.

"No! Why is it so slow?"

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

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

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

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

That breath of fire chakra...

"Get down!"

"do not want!"

"That was the detonation..."

Before Yashamaru and several Sand Village ninjas could finish their words, the wind-style ninjutsu met the red bullets in the sky...

boom! Boom boom boom! !

The originally dark and peaceful night sky was suddenly replaced by a roar, and the entire sky was lit up, as if it was noon.

Smoke, rain and fog accompanied by flames spread out in all directions, and the Sand Village ninjas were swept away by the impact of the explosion.

Some of the projectiles that were not triggered exploded on the ground, and the Sand Ninjas within a radius of several meters were blown into pieces before they could even scream.

--------

"It looks like they've already started."

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

Yahiko turned his head and looked into the distance behind him, and saw orange-red "fireworks" suddenly exploding in the originally dim night.

The sky, which had already darkened, was now illuminated again by the light of the fire, as if a blood-red waning moon was rising in the valley, so gorgeous and beautiful that it was beyond description.

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

The scorching flames engulfed from afar, the temperature of the air began to rise, and the heat rushed towards Yahiko's face, mixed with the smell of burnt gunpowder.

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

Yahiko opened his eyes, turned around and looked at the door in front of him, and Nagato standing in front of it, frowning and saying, "Can't open it?"

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

"It looks like a big problem." Yahiko was also a little helpless. "I asked, and this is the only way to get in."

“…Then there’s nothing we can do.”

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

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

However, he saw nine scarlet thorns as thick as arms suddenly emerge from his tail vertebrae and gradually spirally entwine and twist together.

Crack! Crack!

After a series of teeth-grinding sounds, the nine thorns twisted into an extremely thick one and slammed into the alloy door in front of them.

Bang! !

A deafening explosion instantly erupted between the two, just like a mad giant turtle crashing into a 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 moment, the sharp sound in his ears faded away. Yahiko looked up with a complaint and swallowed the rest of his words.

There was an obvious dent on the alloy door, and a large number of cracks appeared on the part of the wall connecting to the wall.

"So hard."

Looking at his torn flesh and blood, Nagato frowned and shook off the scarlet juice.

"...You're pretty tough too." Yahiko gritted his teeth with a bit of toothache.

What kind of strange power is this?

Is this the strength a weakling like you should have?

Seeing Nagato taking a few steps back and trying 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?"

"Completing an operation without any witnesses is called infiltration. If you are discovered, just kill them." Nagato frowned and said something, then asked in a dissatisfied tone: "Do you have a better way?"

Yahiko scratched his head and muttered, "I should have brought the new bombs given to me by those explosion maniacs in the Equipment R&D Department."

"…Then we may not even be able to make it here alive."

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

--------

呲呲!

The extremely scorching red blade distorted the surrounding air and slashed across the alloy door. The places it passed melted and flowed onto the ground like water.

He drew a door shape large enough for one person to pass through, and with a gentle push, a large piece of alloy fell to the ground with a loud bang.

"hey-hey."

Yahiko swung the long sword in his hand and put it into the scabbard, smiling and saying, "I said it would work."

Silently moving his attention away from the sword, Nagato vaguely distanced himself from it.

The temperature of this knife is somewhat scary.

When it approached just now, Nagato felt like it was about to spontaneously combust.

It seems that this guy has never been lax...

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go." Nagato shook off his messy thoughts and stepped onto the stairs leading downstairs. Yahiko hurriedly followed.

As the two went deeper, the only sounds they could hear were their breathing and footsteps. They were in a silent stairwell with walls on all sides, and there was nothing else except walls and stairs. 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 could never see the end of the spiral staircase.

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

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

Even if the Sky Ninja attracted the attention of the Sand Ninjas, there should be some defenses here, right?

Yahiko was still thinking this in his mind when Nagato suddenly stopped.

boom!

Yahiko felt like he had hit a wall. He couldn't help but take a breath and rubbed his forehead and asked, "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, his cheeks even twitching slightly with anger.

"Sunagakure, you're looking for death!!"

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

I saw that in the huge and wide space, dense black shadows were hung upside down like a forest, and the face of each black shadow could be vaguely seen with the surrounding candlelight.

Those were pale and expressionless faces, with eyes closed, as peaceful as newborn babies.

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

The limbs hung naturally, making crackling sounds, like those of a wooden doll.

The most primitive fear and weirdness slowly permeated the air.
