If the enemy bombards casually from that position, the entire Sunagakure would suffer unbearable losses.
And in the entire Sunagakure, the only one who can fly into the air and fight that enemy is one person.
But he is currently the most important person in the village.
Not only is he a precious Jinchuriki, but he is also the next Kazekage being trained.
Although Baki's evaluation of Gaara is getting higher and higher,
Gaara is still too young now.
He is far from reaching the point where he can unleash his full potential.
Facing such a powerful enemy at this time, if something happens to Gaara...
Their Sunagakure would probably fall into an irreversible situation.
'Wait!'
'Why is the enemy doing this?
'What is their purpose?
'Why are they staying in the air with impunity?
'As if they know we don't have the strength to counterattack...
'Is their target Gaara?'
Baki suddenly startles, immediately realizing he has guessed the enemy's true purpose.
Creating chaos is just to make Gaara appear.
And the enemy's altitude can only be fought by Gaara, who can also fly.
"Quick! Go notify Gaara, absolutely do not let him come out!"
Baki knows well that if the enemy comes looking for trouble at this time, they definitely have full confidence.
And they were completely unaware of the enemy's invasion.
'What exactly happened at the fortress?'
Baki's face is full of gloom, his heart filled with bad premonitions.
"Baki-sama! It's bad!"
A Shinobi shouts towards him.
Baki's heart skips a beat, then he looks up, and his heart nearly stops.
He sees Gaara already standing in the air at some point.
Beneath his feet is a patch of sand he controls, carrying his body floating in the air.
"Idiot! Can't you see this is the enemy's trap?"
Baki grits his teeth, but his expression is very complex.
He actually knows.
Gaara has no choice.
The enemy stands in the air, able to freely attack people or buildings below.
And they have no power to resist.
They can only be at the enemy's mercy.
During this time, Gaara's sense of responsibility towards the village has been constantly nurtured.
How could he allow the enemy to wreak havoc freely in his village?
Gaara absolutely cannot tolerate it.
Not for himself,
But for Sunagakure,
For everyone living in Sunagakure.
He must stand up at this moment.
Now, only he can stop the enemy's advance.
No one else can.
"Damn it!"
Baki curses angrily, but he is cursing himself.
He deeply hates that he has no ability to share the pressure for Gaara.
At the same time, the ominous premonition in his heart grows stronger.
"Baki-sensei, is there only one enemy?"
At this moment, Temari lands beside Baki in a few bounds.
"Not sure for now."
Baki shakes his head and says, "I've sent people to check the village, in case the enemy takes advantage of the chaos to attack."
As an Elite Jonin, he noticed these details immediately.
"What about the situation up there?"
Temari looks up, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Gaara is invincible."
At this moment, Kankuro also comes to their side.
Unlike Baki's analysis of the situation and Temari's unexplained worry,
Kankuro is full of confidence in Gaara.
In his view, there are not many people who can defeat Gaara.
After all, he is the future Kazekage.
If his strength isn't strong, how can he deter other villages?
"Don't be careless."
Baki says coldly. "Since the enemy dares to attack at this time, they definitely have confidence."
"Can't we do anything?"
Temari is a bit worried, and at the same time feels a strong sense of powerlessness at the fact that they can only stand on the ground and can do nothing.
"Now we can only hope that Gaara can defeat the enemy."
Baki sighs helplessly. "Whether it's Ninjutsu or our weapons, we cannot attack at that distance."
"So, we can't help at all."
His words weigh heavily on Temari's heart.
Kankuro's expression also becomes serious.
"Look! They've started!"
Kankuro suddenly points at the sky, and everyone looks up.
They see the enemy riding the unknown giant bird attacking first.
In the sky.
After creating chaos, Deidara, who had been leisurely waiting, finally sees his target.
"Here he comes?"
Deidara says with a smile. "Came rushing over in a hurry, quite immature."
This is his open scheme.
Knowing clearly that the people of Sunagakure cannot threaten him, appearing so boldly is an intangible provocation to Sunagakure.
And his threat to the village is real.
The Sunagakure's Shinobi dare not ignore it.
And based on the various intelligence gathered by Black Zetsu,
The only one who can fight Deidara is the target of their trip.
The One-Tail Jinchuriki, Gaara.
And now, the target appears.
Deidara is about to start working.
"Are you the ones who attacked Takumi?"
Gaara, having flown up, sees the clothes on Deidara and immediately frowns.
The Akatsuki have attacked Takumi many times, sometimes unnoticed, sometimes seen by many, especially in Konoha.
Although Gaara hasn't witnessed it personally, intelligence from Konoha has also explained some external characteristics of the Akatsuki.
For example, this black robe with red clouds is the standard outfit of the Akatsuki.
He is puzzled why the people who attacked Takumi would suddenly attack Sunagakure.
And judging by the enemy's demeanor, they are obviously acting with impunity.
Seems like not a weakling.
"No matter what your purpose is, I will not forgive anyone who dares to disturb the peace of Sunagakure."
Gaara doesn't plan to take prisoners either.
The enemy's strength is not weak; without probing their actual strength, he is not sure he can capture them alive.
He directly extends his hand, and a large amount of sand pours out from the gourd on his back.
"Let you taste some small art first."
Deidara smiles, casually throwing out the small clay birds he prepared earlier.
'Hmm? What's that?'
Gaara is very alert and immediately uses his Sand Shield to block these white birds.
Boom boom boom!
Continuous explosions immediately make Gaara understand what the enemy's ability is.
'Explosions? What a troublesome opponent.'
Gaara immediately realizes how difficult the enemy is.
He must finish the fight quickly, otherwise the enemy's attacks could easily threaten the village's safety.
Think it, do it.
He immediately controls a large amount of sand to sweep towards the enemy.
"Such sturdy defense, but can you really defend against it?"
Deidara says with a slight smile, completely ignoring the overwhelming sand.
"Hmm?"
Inside his Sand Shield, Gaara suddenly discovers that some white bugs have drilled a hole and gotten inside the Sand Shield.
His expression changes dramatically.
At that moment,
Deidara forms hand seals, a crazy smile on his face. "Katsu!"
Boom!
The Sand Shield breaks from the inside.
