Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Ambush

They continue the meeting for some time to make everything official and documented.

….

–Back to the mission–

The team arrived at the meeting point and met the merchant who's going to export the goods and the 3 chunins that were guarding them. After exchanging codes and introducing themselves, the group continued their journey.

When they were outside of the desert and traveling on the road, a group of bandits attacked them to which the chunins killed easily.

As they go further and further away, more and more bandits are showing up. The bandits were secretly targeting the chunins, specifically the ones with vests to exhaust them little by little. The team doesn't have any idea that the group of bandits that they encountered belongs to one group.

Couple of hours later they finally reached their destination. The client welcomed them and the merchant talked to him for some time.

Suddenly, the captain of this mission, who is one of the chunins, heard a voice next to him. He turned his head to look who it was but saw nothing, alerting him.

"Don't worry, it's just me, Gaara. I'm talking to you through my jutsu." - (Gaara)

The captain gave a sigh of relief after hearing this. Gaara is currently using his unique technique called <<spooky action at a distance jutsu>> to talk unnoticed and undetected.

"I can sense several chakra near this area. They're 98 in numbers." - (Gaara)

The captain was shocked by the number but immediately composed himself. He then gave body language to everyone to warn them and prepare for an ambush. Even Gaara felt like it's a little overkill.

When the merchant and the client came to an agreement and were about to exchange goods, several masked shinobis appeared and launched themselves towards the group.

The rogues and the group clashed. Seeing the number of the enemy himself and the disadvantage they will be at if this continues, the captain gave the order.

"Genins, retreat except for Gaara! Make sure to prioritize the goods! We will handle this!" - (Captain) shouted.

Many people still don't know the extent of Gaara's power but they know that he's a jinjuriki capable of controlling his tailed-beast. There's also the rumors that his sand surpassed all of the previous Kazekages' in every regard which is hard to believe.

"No way, man! Our mission states to retreat if we're ever put in a life threatening situation!" - (Kankuro) said as he dodged shurikens on his way.

After positioning himself, 7 rogues launched themselves towards him. Kankuro, having trained his nature transformation for ages used earth release to sink underground, evading the attacks. He then manipulated his chakra and created strong threads while he's still underground. Stealthy, the threads came out of the ground and wrapped itself around the rogues' feet one after another.

This was very sudden and the rogues didn't have enough time to react when they were pulled into the earth, leaving only their heads on the surface.

At this time, Kankuro appeared above ground and wrapped his chakra threads on the rogues' necks. When he was about to pull it, another 2 attacked him from behind with weapons in their hands.

The 2 rogues thought that he was distracted but they have no idea that he already noticed them. Before engaging in battle, Kankuro always surrounded his vicinity with super thin chakra threads that would alert him through vibration. Using the same threads, he tripped the attacking rogues, halting them.

Kankuro returned his attention to his buried enemies and pulled the threads on their necks, suffocating and killing them successfully.

The 2 rogues that were tripped earlier regained their balance but when they tried to make another step they couldn't move on their spot. They traced what stopped them and noticed the thin threads wrapped in every part of their body that was connected to the trees. That was the last thing the two of them saw when a kunai hit their throats, killing them.

"9 down." - (Kankuro) smirked.

It's only been a couple of seconds since the ambush started and he already took down several opponents. But Kankuro didn't stop there. He retracted his chakra threads and reconnected it to the enemies he killed. Although he's far from Chiyo's or Sasori's level, he can control a human body to an extent as long as they don't put any resistance which is perfect to use in dead or unconscious bodies.

From there, Kankuro continued his slaughter. He doesn't really see any reason to use his proud creation, his puppet, when he can just use the enemies to kill more of them.

On the other side of the battlefield, Temari agreed to what Kankuro said.

'The higher ups wouldn't just give an order to anybody to retreat even if it's a genin. It's probably because all of us are from the Kazekage clan and undoubtedly the talented ones that they can't afford to lose us. What's more, with this number they will just chase after us.' - (Temari) thought and created a distance to the rogues while blocking their attacks using her fan.

Being one of the genius users of wind release to ever exist in Suna, she has great control over her jutsus.

Channeling her chakra to her fan, she swung it with great force creating a gust of wind so strong that it knocked 11 rogues at once and hit a wall.

Not letting them get a hold of themselves, she threw multiple kunais and shurikens in the air and swung his fan, adding more force and momentum to the attack before it hit and killed the enemies for good.

Several rogues had tried to get closer to her but she just kept spamming her wind release, making her almost untouchable to these amateurs.

On Shinsuki's side, like everyone else, she's also doing pretty good.

As she engaged in battle while spamming <<water bullet jutsu>> which only requires a small amount of chakra to use, a sudden ball of fire flew behind her.

Even though she's a good water user she only has a small chakra reserve. She can't afford to use a huge amount of chakra just to block this one attack, especially when there's no body of water near her.
