Naruto: I have Ten Skill Bars - Chapter 440 439: Demonstration at Sunagakure

Every step Shigure took was accompanied by Sand shinobi collapsing one after another.

Under Shigure’s overwhelming presence, these Sunagakure ninja were not even qualified to remain conscious.

Gaara’s face grew extremely gloomy.

Shigure had not said a single word, yet the pressure he created made it seem as if he had come to Sunagakure purely to demonstrate his power.

And it had to be said—Shigure’s terrifying strength was indeed frightening.

What method had he used? He had clearly not made a move, yet people were fainting one after another. How exactly did he do it?

When the rain finally began to fall to the ground, very few people around were still able to remain awake.

Kankurō, along with several elite shinobi, stared at Shigure cautiously.

Shigure glanced at them, then looked up at Gaara, who was slowly descending from the air.

Before anyone could speak, Gaara landed and swept his gaze across the area.

Out of the thousands of Sand shinobi present, fewer than fifty were still conscious.

One could easily imagine how many had lost their combat ability just from Shigure’s presence alone.

And Shigure had not even made a move.

If one insisted on saying he had done something, then the only thing he had done was release his momentum.

Yet relying on aura alone to knock people unconscious—if Shigure actually fought, how terrifying would the scene be?

“The environment of Sunagakure is really terrible.”

Shigure frowned, and the first words he spoke instantly darkened Gaara’s expression.

The next moment, Shigure slowly raised his hand and gave a casual wave.

“There isn’t even a trace of moisture in the air. I don’t like it.”

As he spoke, his hand moved.

Boom!

In the next second, water surged violently from every direction.

Terrifying waves suddenly rose around Sunagakure.

In the blink of an eye, the entire village was surrounded by massive torrents of water.

Seeing this scene, Gaara froze in place, horror filling his eyes as he looked at Shigure.

Was he trying to flood the village?

What kind of joke was this?

This was Sunagakure—the Land of Wind!

If someone actually flooded the Sand Village here, the entire shinobi world would be shaken.

Yet judging from the enormous waves surrounding the village, flooding Sunagakure did not seem impossible.

But how had Shigure done it?

Even if his Water Release (Suiton) mastery was extremely high, performing such a massive Water Release technique in a place as dry as Sunagakure should have been unimaginably difficult.

Yet Shigure had done it.

Was this man even human?

The waves surrounded the village but did not fall.

Shigure nodded slightly.

“That’s much more comfortable.”

A faint smile appeared on his face.

This was not just about comfort—it was a naked threat.

Gaara looked at Shigure.

Shigure was clearly telling him that with a single thought, he could do something as absurd as flooding the entire Sand Village.

Although Shigure’s purpose for coming to Sunagakure was still unclear, one thing was certain.

This was a demonstration.

“Oh, right.”

“This time I came to Sunagakure, I brought someone with me.”

Shigure raised his hand.

In an instant, Room expanded outward, suddenly covering the entire village.

In the next moment, Temari appeared beside Shigure.

Then the Room disappeared.

At this moment, Gaara and the others’ expressions relaxed slightly.

After all, Shigure had brought Temari with him.

If he truly intended to destroy Sunagakure, there would have been no need to bring her.

“Gaara! Kankurō! Are you two alright?”

Temari’s expression was extremely complicated.

As a hostage handed over by Sunagakure to Kirigakure, her existence symbolized the fragile peace between the two villages.

At the same time, it meant that Sunagakure had to continue supplying placer gold to Kirigakure.

For a village that was already poor, this arrangement made their situation even worse.

“We’re fine.”

Gaara’s face became even gloomier.

The brief moment of joy quickly faded as he understood Shigure’s intentions.

Shigure had brought Temari here to remind him of something.

Temari was still in Kirigakure’s hands.

If Sunagakure ever attempted to start a war with Kirigakure, Shigure could kill Temari at any moment.

At that time, both he and Gaara would be burdened with the crime of killing their own relatives.

Thinking of this, Gaara’s emotions became extremely complicated.

He envied Shigure.

He envied how Shigure had become a Kage at such a young age, and how he possessed power that the entire shinobi world feared.

No village dared to ignore him.

And Kirigakure was located in the fertile Land of Water, a land far richer in resources than the harsh Land of Wind.

It wasn’t fair.

If the Land of Wind had been located where the Land of Water was, Gaara believed that what he could achieve would not be inferior to Shigure.

Thinking of this made him deeply unwilling.

“The Sixth Mizukage…”

“Can you tell me now what you’re doing in Sunagakure?”

Gaara asked solemnly.

Shigure smiled faintly.

“For one thing.”

“I want to ask whether the disappearance of a ninja from our village—Uchiha Sasuke—has anything to do with Sunagakure.”

Hearing this, Gaara was momentarily stunned.

Uchiha Sasuke was missing?

They had heard nothing about it.

“No.”

“It has nothing to do with us.”

“Hmm.”

Shigure nodded.

“Alright then. That’s fine.”

After saying that, he glanced at Temari, who stood beside him.

“Let’s go.”

Temari froze for a moment.

Was that it?

He had already confirmed it had nothing to do with Sunagakure?

She had expected Shigure to search the village.

After all, with Shigure’s power, no one in Sunagakure would dare to object.

Wouldn’t that make it easier to clear Kirigakure’s suspicions?

But Shigure clearly had no intention of doing that.

If he searched the village, it would be the same as slapping Sunagakure in the face.

The Sand shinobi might not say anything openly, but they would certainly remember it.

Shigure had already demonstrated his strength.

There was no need to humiliate Sunagakure further.

Doing so would only create unnecessary resentment toward Kirigakure, which served no purpose.

The moment the thought crossed Temari’s mind, she vanished.

Shigure disappeared as well.

Before leaving, he cast one last glance at Gaara.

“Work hard, Gaara.”

“The future of Sunagakure will be fine.”

As soon as his words ended, Shigure disappeared.

At that same moment, the massive water currents surrounding Sunagakure vanished.

The torrents suspended above the village dispersed instantly, and even the Water Dragon Bullet formed in the sky disappeared without a trace.

When it arrived, it had been overwhelming.

When it left, it vanished completely.

The power Shigure displayed today felt like a heavy boulder pressing down on the hearts of every Sand shinobi present.

Today, Shigure had made one thing perfectly clear.

Even if Kirigakure had no other ninja, Shigure alone would be enough to destroy Sunagakure.

It would not even be an exaggeration to say that one man possessed the power to destroy an entire nation.

From this day onward, the name of this era would be remembered as the era of Shigure, the Sixth Mizukage.
