Every country has protective barriers around its villages, used to raise alarms and defend against enemy infiltration, and the Land of Grass is no exception.
However, unlike the barrier in Konoha Village that had been repeatedly strengthened by the Second Hokage and the Uzumaki clan, the one in the Land of Grass was, as its name suggests, very hasty and haphazard.
Faced with An's attack, the guards had no will to resist and immediately turned and ran.
"boom!"
Susanoo kicked the plaque with the character "草" (grass) to pieces, smashing it along with the gate below.
The guard post and other buildings were also destroyed in one fell swoop, collapsing to the ground with a loud rumble, leaving broken bricks and tiles scattered everywhere.
The piercing alarm immediately went off, and the village was thrown into chaos.
"Swish, swish, swish——"
A whooshing sound rang out, and more than a dozen dark figures darted out from all directions, blocking An's path.
"Are you kidding me? What is this thing?"
Shinnosuke, the leader of the Land of Grass, stared dumbfounded at the Susanoo, which was as tall as a tailed beast, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"It's the Akatsuki! They've come to cause trouble!" The guards at the gate, as if they had found their pillar of support, hurriedly ran to Shinnosuke's side and bowed to report, "They say they want us to hand over some beautiful girl."
"A beautiful girl?" Shinnosuke was taken aback, turning around to look at the group behind him. "You guys went out to hunt in the wild again?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"No!"
"Recently, it's all Iwagakure passing through. To avoid alarming our allies, we've been staying put inside the village!"
"Could it be a misunderstanding?"
"Maybe they're just deliberately picking a fight!"
Seeing that everyone was talking at once and couldn't come up with a definite idea, Shinnosuke had no choice but to step forward and ask them himself.
As the village chief, he needed to maintain a certain level of decorum, so he shouted menacingly, "Is your Land of Rain going to war with the Land of Grass?"
"Don't think we're afraid of you!"
Seeing Shinnosuke's blustering but cowardly demeanor, An said bluntly, "Hand over all the Uzumaki clan members from your village so we can take them away, and everything will be fine. Otherwise, hehe—"
An sneered, raised his hand, and with a sweep of his scepter across the ground, easily smashed all the buildings near the gate.
"You—you've gone too far!" Shinnosuke's face turned red with anger.
Although the Uzumaki clan members are not valued in Kusagakure and are used entirely as medical supplies, for the Land of Grass, which lacks a complete medical ninja system, the Uzumaki clan members are essentially used as mobile hospitals.
Anyone who is injured, no matter how serious, as long as they are not dead, can be instantly revived and become lively again after taking a bite. What kind of drug is this?
Moreover, this medication is not a one-time use; it can be used continuously for a long time.
Moreover, this medicine can also treat ailments, which is a guarantee for sustainable development!
If used properly, a new and powerful medical system with the characteristics of Kusagakure Village could be created around her.
If a war were to break out, placing her at the rear of the battlefield would allow wounded ninjas to continuously return to the battlefield.
This is the guarantee for a protracted war; it's a strategic resource!
This reveals the distorted values of the ninja world.
Such an important strategic figure was treated like a slave in the village, with no dignity or respect whatsoever.
They didn't even have any routine maintenance or upkeep. They were never well-fed or clothed, and always felt like they were about to die at any moment.
Even if it's a tool, a ninja sword still needs daily maintenance!
Why doesn't it work when it comes to the "tool" role?
Not only is the Land of Grass like this, but other countries are the same. The more important a person is, the more discrimination they suffer, as if they are afraid that these people will not rebel.
There's a reason why there are so many rogue ninjas in the ninja world!
But Shinnosuke doesn't think so. He believes that what he did was reasonable, in line with the customs of the ninja world, and there's nothing wrong with it.
How could the Vortex Clan easily give away such important strategic resources to others?
He can't explain this to the village ninjas and the daimyo!
Therefore, Shinnosuke immediately and categorically refused, saying, "Impossible!"
"Don't go too far!"
"We, the Hidden Grass Village, are not to be trifled with!"
"Really?" An curled her lip dismissively. "You guys seem pretty easy to bully!"
"Hiruko, I'm killing someone here. Go inside and find them. They're easily identifiable: fiery red hair, two women, one big and one small. Is that alright?"
"Of course, no problem!" Hiru responded, quickly forming hand seals, and his body vanished from the spot as if dissipating in the wind.
Shinnosuke's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quickly, protect the village's vital supplies!"
Several Jonin immediately led their squads to rush backward, but more people surged towards An, forming hand seals and unleashing various ninjutsu.
Regardless of whether it's useful or not, let's just smash it up first.
"Fire Release: Demon Lantern!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Prison!"
"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Fire Sword!"
Dozens of blazing fireballs appeared out of thin air, each with a twisted ghostly face at its center, emitting a shrill shriek, and encircling from all directions in eerie arcs.
A dozen or so pillars of fire shot out from the front, intertwining in mid-air to form a cage of flames that descended head-on upon Blood Susanoo.
A giant flaming sword materialized in mid-air and stabbed towards Blood Susanoo's chest, while An stood suspended in mid-air.
The difference between Kusagakure and the other major ninja villages can be seen from their regular ninjutsu.
Although each ninja village has its own unique characteristics, they have long since collected a complete range of ninjutsu through years of warfare. They can choose the appropriate ninjutsu combination to carry out targeted combat according to the needs of the battlefield.
However, most of the ninjutsu used by the ninjas from Kusagakure were fire-style techniques. Other types of ninjutsu were not uncommon, but their numbers were extremely limited.
Although it has been innovated and some unique features have been created, including ninjutsu, ranged attacks, area-of-effect attacks, and control—it is still too monotonous.
As for their power, it's all rather unremarkable.
Flames swept towards Anxi, but An didn't even bother to dodge. He simply stood in front of Susanoo and let them bombard him.
The blood-red Susanoo remained unmoved, while the demon lantern exploded on its surface, scattering countless sparks, and the demon-like mask shattered one after another.
The flaming giant sword pierced Susanoo's chest, but instead the sword broke into pieces, turning into a rain of fire that fell from the sky.
Only when the "Fire Prison" with its sealing effect descended did Blood Susanoo lightly wave his scepter, tearing the fire net to shreds.
After the flames subsided, Susanoo didn't even leave a crack; it was completely unbreakable.
An stood suspended in mid-air at the chest of Blood Susanoo, his Sharingan indifferently scanning the Grass Ninja below, who were filled with shock and anger, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Hehe, what I'm least afraid of now is group attacks; no matter how many small foes there are, it's useless."
After saying that, An took off his left sleeve, revealing the eye on his shoulder. He activated his chakra, and the Mangekyou Sharingan reappeared.
"Takemikazuchi!"
