Xiaozhi "White Tiger", Xiaonan.

No surname, war orphans. The people of the Land of Rain. When he was young, he wandered with Nagato and Yahiko, and was later discovered by Jiraiya and accepted as an apprentice. One of the three founders of Akatsuki.

The strength should be above the upper ninja level.

There is only so much information provided by the original world and Jiraiya. In the original world, Naruto and they didn't fight with Xiao Nan, and Jiraiya hasn't been in contact with the Nagato trio for many years, and many things are not clear to this lustful immortal who is a confused master.

But judging just from the woman's momentum, Sakura Haruno can be sure that Xiao Nan's strength will never be weaker than Xiao's other members.

Although her appearance is very deceptive.

Her pretty face is slightly cold, and her appearance is extremely beautiful, almost bewitching. When such a young cold beauty, with a smile, pursed her lips, and those eyes under the dark purple eye shadow looked indifferently at Sakura Haruno, it was really difficult for her to connect such an iceberg beauty with the identity of the patriarch of the most feared terrorist underground organization "Xiao" in the entire ninja world.

But coincidentally, the excellent female ninjas that Sakura Haruno has seen are outstanding, and their appearance is usually above the level line, from Tsunade, Terumi Ming, Utsuki Yuyan, down to Shiro, Hinata and Ino......

Even Sakura Haruno herself.

There seems to be no inevitable connection between appearance and strength. But at the end of the day, Ninja is a game about chakra, and the almighty chakra, in addition to being used in combat, has many other effects that can be developed - as a disciple of Tsunade, Sakura Haruno knows that her master is particularly good at a certain way.

So it's not surprising.

Sakura Haruno felt strange - she had experienced many battles large and small, and had seen many different enemies, including crooked melons and cracked dates like Oni Shark and Kakuto, as well as handsome male god-level characters like Uchiha Itachi and Red Sand Scorpion, but ......

A female ninja, a woman of this level, this is the first time she has faced it.

Before the battle, she naturally would not let the chaotic thoughts of "how to be a thief" affect her brain, nor would she have the illusion of pity and pity because of the gender of her opponent......

- Who is incense and who is jade!

Sakura Haruno slowly raised her hand, and the amazing chakra surged wildly on her fingertips, and blue light flashed.

"Before I do it, I want to ask. ”

The pink-haired girl raised her head slightly, stretched out her hand and pointed at Xiao Nan flying in mid-air, and said coldly.

The Angel of Paper looked indifferent, his delicate eyes lowered, and he looked down coldly at the girl who was undulating with the waves on the sea, and was indifferent.

"Why?"

The girl asked.

Why would they, as Jiraiya's apprentices, embark on this path, establish Akatsuki, and stir up trouble everywhere in the ninja world in an attempt to subvert the world order?

She is Jiraiya's apprentice, Sakura is Tsunade's apprentice, and the two can even be said to be from the same school, which can be regarded as the same master and sister, but they meet each other here.

Even in the world of the original book, they ignored the kindness of taking in education back then, and killed their teacher Jiraiya with their own hands!

Why?

For Sakura Haruno, it's all a bit hard to understand.

Zilai is also a grace to Xiao Nan and them! Teaching three homeless orphans who can't survive to become talents and giving them the ability to live is equivalent to giving them a second life! Even if you don't mention the feudal concept of "being a teacher for one day and a father for life," even in the previous life, this is a great kindness.

Xiao Nan, are they white-eyed wolves who kill teachers?

Judging from Jiraiya's description, they don't look like this kind of person.

Because of this special relationship, because of this kind of incomprehension, Sakura Haruno asked one more word.

And unlike before, she fought and fought, and why the enemy did this had nothing to do with her.

"Didn't Mr. Jiraiya already tell you everything?"

The Angel of Paper flapped its wings slowly, and its voice was detached.

Sakura Haruno frowned, and said in a deep voice, "He didn't know that after he left you, you would actually make so many mistakes!"

"Wrong ......?"

The corners of the woman's mouth suddenly hooked up a sneering arc: "That's just your opinion." Our path, people born in a big country like you and the Great Ninja Village will never be able to understand it!"

Big vs. small......

The small country that lives in the cracks, the orphans whose countries wither and whose families are ruined by war, this kind of person's position and concept will never be the same as her.

Sakura Haruno had nothing to say for a while.

The woman's determined look made her understand how pale the power of the words was.

The country hates the family feud, and the friendship with the teacher, which is more important?

There is never a right answer to this kind of thing. Sakura Haruno only knew that Konan was standing opposite her.

She is the enemy.

"If it's Jiraiya who stands in front of you to stop Akatsu......ki," Sakura Haruno knew the answer, but still asked the last question.

"Will you fight him?"

The wings behind Xiao Nan paused.

She seemed to think for a long time, but she did not hesitate to answer.

"I'll kill him. ”

The voice was as cold as an ice cellar, without any temperature.

The woman's delicate countenance was as hard and cold as an iceberg, as if it were eternal and unchanging.

Then in the next second, it was cut to pieces by a silver-white thin wire!

Whew——!

The sharp rays, with the suppressed anger of the master, slashed down in the air, stretching for more than a dozen knives and cutting the woman into hundreds of thin pieces!

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.

As soon as Xiao Nan's voice fell, the battle began without warning!

- Perhaps for Sakura Haruno, this battle is not as usual, and it also has a special meaning to clean up the portal.

The paper arcane technique made the woman immune to Sakura Haruno, which was enough to kill ordinary people dozens of times. The corpse that broke in mid-air suddenly turned into paper, folded, deformed, and split into countless paper darts, which slammed into the air before slamming into her foe.

Whoosh!

Thousands of paper darts shot out, extremely fast, as fast as lightning, stirring up a sharp sound of breaking the air, the whistling sound was sharp and penetrating, continuous into a piece, as if the whole sky was whistling and echoing, the momentum was huge, making people frightened and shocked!

The overwhelming darts attacked through the air, occupying most of the sky, covering all the vital points of Haruno Sakura, the entire body, and her evasion route also shrouded the past, and Xiao Nan's counterattack was menacing!

A trick that should not be underestimated for ordinary ninjas greeted the mask, but Sakura Haruno was calm and light, and her expression remained indifferent.

Insect carving skills.

The girl's eyes seemed to say this.

It is true that Sakura Haruno's stunt can't help Xiao Nan, but Xiao Nan's attack can't make her feel the pressure either!

With the increasingly mature nerve modification and reaction acceleration technique - Sakura Chong Stage 3 and more and more experience in combat, the usual way of attacking has begun to lose its effect against Sakura Haruno.

Especially after fighting with the fastest man in the world, the three generations of Thunder Shadow, Sakura Haruno is more and more confident in herself!

The lightning-fast attack of the Angel of Dawn seemed too slow to the girl's eyes.

So slow that she even had time to pull a sword flower.

Sakura Haruno didn't dodge, but stood there for a long time.

At some point, a crystal clear cold short sword condensed in her hand, and when the darts got close, she suddenly swung her sword to meet it, and at this moment, the girl's arms and short sword suddenly turned into an invisible afterimage, and at an incredibly fast speed, she easily blocked the group of darts that came at high speed one by one!

Bell Bell Bell –

Paper darts are harder than steel, and when they collide with ice swords, they make the sound of gold and stone colliding.

Xiao Nan didn't succeed in this blow, and he didn't even force Haruno Sakura to move, and he reacted instantly.

Swish!

A sharp knife suddenly appeared behind the girl, slashing at her unconscious waist with a thunderous force.

It turned out to be a group of paper darts that slammed through a large arc after crossing the Haruno Sakura, converging behind the pink-haired girl, and instantly reunited into Xiao Nan's body.

Her body had just condensed the upper half of her body, and her graceful waist was still empty, so she slashed out this untouchable knife!

However, it's still not fast enough.

The moment Xiao Nan slashed out this knife, the girl turned her head as if she had already noticed.

The expression on his face was not shocked or angry.

The moment the long knife approached her, Sakura Haruno had already struck...... Or rather, out of the foot.

With the right foot as the axis, the waist and hips as the hub, the shoulders are leaning out, the left half of the body is instantly rotated ninety degrees, the slender and powerful left foot is lifted violently, the thighs are tense, the calves swing, and suddenly sweep out a sharp whip leg!

"Ninjutsu-High Whip Leg!"

Boom!

Sakura Haruno's counterattack was dazzlingly fast, and it was the last to strike.

I saw that the slender and straight calves and thighs were connected in a straight line, seemingly delicate and weak, but when it kicked Xiao Nan, it was like a straight and hard iron rod hitting the body, with an unstoppable force, crushing everything kicked into bone fragments and flesh and blood!

Xiao Nan ...... Half of his body turned into bright red scraps in the sky and flew out.

It's like a blood-colored rose blooming in mid-air!

…… He's dead?

Sakura Haruno stood still, but was a little surprised.

She didn't believe that this extremely powerful woman would die at her hands so easily...... Or underfoot.

The girl was in her heart, and then in the next moment, she suddenly felt the familiar chakra fluctuate slightly.

Evil winds are blowing overhead.

Looking up, the flesh and bones in the sky have long been turned into flying paper, and then recondensed into a woman's flawless and beautiful face, cold and delicate eyes look at the girl indifferently, and the right hand with bright nail polish clenches the sword.

Raise it high and swing it down!

Whew——!

……

……

The same sea, on an uninhabited island.

In the sea between the land of water and the land of fire, such islands can be found everywhere, because of the policy of closing the country and locking down villages in previous years, a large number of small islands far from the shipping route are scattered and uninhabited, only lush forests and flocks of seabirds fall in the period.

This is the case of this island, where no human has ever set foot on its soil for hundreds of years, until today, a scrawny man and a beautiful woman sitting on a giant wheelchair-like life-support device have stepped onto the island, hiding their tracks in the trunk of the tallest, thickest and stout ancient tree.

"How's that...... Have you met Konoha people?"

The man sat in the center of the hollow trunk of the tree, looked at the paper butterflies flying in from outside the tree, and asked in a hoarse voice.

The paper butterfly flew around the hollow of the tree and stopped on the woman's outstretched slender fingers, who paused and closed his eyes slightly, as if reading something.

A moment later.

"Yes, Nagato. ”

"The deity has found Sakura Haruno. ”
