This was merely the opponent's casual strike, yet it might really be enough to destroy the village in one hit.
If that's the case, then a casual strike is even stronger than a tailed beast.
His heart grew more and more helpless, Shukaku was also taken away by him, and even his daughter ended up the same.
It even felt like they could be thankful the opponent left, or else today, Sunagakure might have suffered a tremendous catastrophe.
With a person like this appearing in the ninja world, peace probably won't last long.
He let out a deep sigh. Right now, it's better to first clean up the aftermath. No one knows how many will be dead or injured.
For now, the priority is to rescue them. Otherwise, if the daimyo learns that Sunagakure's strength has dropped again, he'll probably want to cut the funding again.
He hurriedly called the support ninja who had arrived to start cleaning up the aftermath.

On the other side, after Ryosuke took Temari and Gaara flying across a super long distance, they finally landed in a vast desert.
Seeing Gaara still crying non-stop, he slowly said, "Alright, stop crying already. Didn't you already learn the truth? Your uncle didn't abandon you; he had no other choice."
What he needed was not a broken Gaara.
Gaara looked at the person in front of him, his gaze still vacant. "Even though I wasn't the one who killed my uncle, he still died because of me. Even my mother died in childbirth because of me."
"A person like me has no meaning in living."
Hearing Gaara's words, Ryosuke felt a bit of sympathy. Children really are easily disheartened, after all, he just suffered such a huge blow.
He could only try to say, "Your uncle probably hoped you would live well. And your mother has always been protecting you, do you still remember that sand that automatically defends you?"
"That's not the tailed beast's power. That's your mother's power."
When Gaara heard Ryosuke's words, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Recalling past events, even when someone attacked him and he didn't react in time, the sand would still protect him.
He always thought it was the monster inside him protecting him, but unexpectedly, it wasn't.
Recalling the situation at the time, he indeed didn't feel that strange chakra fluctuation from the monster in his body.
"What you said… is it true?"
Ryosuke replied, "Actually, whether it is or not, you should know best yourself."
"So, how about it? Want to come with me, and search for a new life? That's also your mother's wish, the name she gave you, Gaara, naturally meant she hoped you would love yourself and live well."
"I suppose you don't want to stay in that village anymore, right?"
Gaara recalled what his uncle had once told him. His name was indeed given by his mother out of love.
Those hateful words later on were all lies. He didn't want to stay in that village anymore either.
Since his uncle and mother wanted him to live well, then naturally, he shouldn't let them down. Although it would be hard, he would try his best.
His eyes began to light up, looking at Ryosuke, he wanted to agree.
This person in front of him told him the truth and untied the knot in his heart. Following someone like this would at least be much better than following his father.
Just then, Temari on the side woke up. Seeing Gaara, she quickly said, "Gaara, don't trust him. He wants to steal the tailed beasts from our village!"
Gaara shuddered instantly. The thought of agreeing faded, and he looked at the man in front of him with some caution.
Ryosuke was speechless. He felt he had almost subdued Gaara… And this Temari actually came to ruin it.
He helplessly said, "How could I possibly want the tailed beast in your body? You saw it yourself, right? Even your inhuman father got beaten down by me easily, I'm very strong."
"Besides, even your sister Temari is going to become mine. So how about it? Want to follow me?"
Gaara felt a bit of pleasure rise in his heart after hearing those words.
Indeed, even that father of his got beaten down, and the person who always managed to suppress his rampage... The man before him couldn't possibly covet the tailed beast inside him.
"I'm willing."
Temari felt extremely disappointed after hearing Gaara agree. This foolish little brother actually got tricked so easily. But she couldn't really blame him.
Today's events probably made Gaara completely disappointed in his father, to the point of making his own uncle commit suicide to test Gaara's stability.
Even she felt that was too cruel. But as for this man wanting her to follow, that was absolutely impossible.
"Wishful thinking! I will never follow you. I am the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage!"
Ryosuke looked at her and said indifferently, "That's not up to you anymore."
As long as she grows up and gives birth to children, then she naturally counts as his person.
'Alright, now that things here are done, it's time to send these two to Konoha and settle them properly.'
'Then go to Amegakure and take Nagato's Rinnegan, that way, Madara probably won't be able to be resurrected anymore.'
Ryosuke directly used the Rinnegan to open a teleportation gate, and a portal appeared in front of him.
He took Temari and Gaara and stepped through it.
This teleportation was perfect, they stopped directly in his own courtyard.
Temari and Gaara were both shocked, this felt magical to them.
In a flash, they had come from the dusty desert to this residential house, observing the surroundings.
There were houses not far off in all directions, and further out, lush green forests, clearly, this was absolutely not the desert.
Temari's heart was even more shaken, 'This guy was not only powerful, but also mastered such ultra-long-distance teleportation space ninjutsu.'
She had never even heard of such a technique in the Sand Village. It made her incredibly curious about this man.
Ryosuke brought Temari and Gaara into the house and saw Yugito Nii sitting inside.
He introduced, "This is Temari, daughter of the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure. Please take good care of her, she'll be very useful in the future."
Yugito Nii immediately responded, "Alright, I will. From now on, stay here obediently. Don't make things difficult for your big sister."
She was the Two-Tails jinchuriki, taking care of a little girl was an extremely easy thing. Even if she was the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, not to mention she was still so young.
But this Ryosuke guy really had big moves, first, he captured the granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage, and now he captured the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage.
Every single thing he did left her shocked. But none of that mattered to her now, she was just Ryosuke's woman.
Actually, there was no need to worry, Ryosuke's abilities were becoming more and more godlike. Even if others found out, so what?
After settling Temari, Ryosuke left with Gaara.
'It would be better to raise Gaara in another place.' The two guys over there would probably become his good friends.
Left behind in the house, Temari looked at the girl in front of her, her heart filled with astonishment.
'Isn't this woman the famous Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure?'
Because Kumogakure was defeated, she became a captive and stayed in Konoha.
