Just as Shikamaru and Sakura were about to go to the village where the mission had been delivered, looking for the client, the figure of Heimasato suddenly reappeared.

"Brother Yaren, why are you back?"

Pingyaren responded to him in a helpless tone.

"Just now, Kagura has heard feedback from the eyes of the heart, and the reaction of a large chakra source in the upper reaches of the river is moving.

I had just flown up under the cover of illusion to see what was a battleship-like fortress.

What to do, Shikamaru? ”

The clever and witty Shikamaru immediately understood Masato's hesitation.

As a ninja, when encountering a powerful force, he should take the initiative to collect information for the village, but the ninjas of Konoha, especially his lower ninja in this issue, take their companions very seriously.

Naruto must be recovered, and information needs to be collected, but it is impossible for Heiyato, who plays an important role on both sides, to split himself in two, right?

After thinking about it, Shikamaru decided to ask Sakura to go to Naruto, and he went with Masato to gather information.

One is that Sakura's strength is a little lower, and the other is that they can quickly catch up with Sakura after collecting and playing information.

As the two of them infiltrated, the basic situation of this battleship-style fortress was quickly sorted out.

The Soldier Golem is made from several twisted and weird machines inside the battleship.

The raw material is the life force of a group of children, and the manipulator should be the soul of those children.

Moreover, there are many gunpowder weapons in this fortress, which further proves that it is not Chakra that drives the fortress, but the Stone of Greel, which the two female captains say.

They had been here for a day, and although it was impossible to infiltrate the deep core due to the heavy guards, it was certain that the owner of the fortress was a careerist.

In the end, Shikamaru decided to exit the fortress first, sent information to the fifth Hokage Tsunade, and then chased Sakura to find Naruto.

The day after they joined Sakura, they found a caravan at the sound of an explosion.

The caravan is being attacked by a puppet of soldiers, led by a female captain.

The battle ended quickly, because he knew that the manipulators were actually some children, Shikamaru was no longer conservative about these soldiers, and directly used the shadow imitation technique + shadow strangulation technique to cooperate with Sakura to destroy them.

Subsequently, seeing that the situation was not good, the female captain directly turned into a werewolf, opened her mouth and sent out a sonic attack, taking advantage of the chaos to escape.

The next day, Sakura brought back Naruto, and Masato Shikamaru listened to information while treating the wounded.

At this time, Shikamaru learned that the young knight's name was Timothy, and the leader of the faction he belonged to was called Hyde.

This force is shouting for the establishment of a peaceful ideal country, but at the same time attacking the country of wind.

Civilians were slaughtered, belongings were collected, and people were desolate and desolate in their passes.

Combined with the information provided by the caravan leader, Elder Rednose Kahiko, about the Stone of Greel, Shikamaru, who was afraid of trouble, decided to continue to help them.

A few days later, Timosi, who had been searching for the caravan, came to the place where the caravan had been attacked, trying to find clues in the wreckage.

As a result, Shikamaru fell into the arms of Shikamaru and was subdued by the shadow mimicry technique.

The capture of Timosi was requested by Elder Heyan, because he said that the people of the royal family had a very important role in sealing the Greel Stone.

But Shikamaru later learned that the so-called seal was actually using the blood of the Grell royal family to create a void black hole and devour the entire ore vein.

This ritual requires the sacrifice of a person, either a royal family or a person with royal blood.

……

……

"I haven't seen exactly what happened to the underground ruins, but according to Naruto, Timosi was pulled back by Masato after activating the psychic circle.

And the chasing Hyde was deranged and swallowed by the black hole of nothingness along with those veins after being sealed by Brother Yaren when he tried to absorb the Grell ore veins.

The above is the mission report of Nakashinobu and Nara Shikamaru. ”

"Very good...... Shikamaru. ”

"What's the matter? Tsunade-sama? ”

"What do you think of Masato?"

“…… I feel like he's a trustworthy companion. ”

"Oh? The reason? ”

"At that time, when we were confronted with Hyde's peace speech, only Yaren asked the other party with the heroic sacrifice of three generations if he dared to sacrifice for his companions.

When the other party despised the three generations, he was really angry.

That was the first time I'd ever seen him angry, and that Hyde had completely escaped into the underpass. ”

The scene fell silent all at once.

One minute...... Two minutes...... Five minutes later, a clear cross appeared on Tsunade's forehead.

“…… I don't think you can be lazy, so write me a detailed written report.

Write down the entire quest, the comments about your teammates, and the fragments of the Grell Stone! ”

"Oh, no, that's too much trouble to say."

"Write if you don't say it!"

“…… In addition to the big turtle that can only use Mu Dun, Brother Yaren also channeled two nine-tailed foxes that can use Burning Dun and Ice Dun respectively. ”

"Nine-Tails?"

"Yes, but how to say it? Those are two nine-tailed foxes that can turn into children, and they have no ill feelings towards humans.

I've tried it, and their chakras are comfortable, they don't feel terrible, and they keep their sanity all the way through the fight, like they're playing a game. ”

“…… Is it safe? ”

"I think it's safe."

“…… Step aside. ”

Shikamaru got up to leave, and Shizune looked at Tsunade with some concern.

"Okay, Mute, I'm sure Masato is a good boy, even though he's just as indecent as Jirai."

"But Tsunade-sama, that's the Nine-Tails."

"I've seen the chakra of the Nine-Tails, it's a kind of malice full of blood, but I've never heard of any other fox with nine tails.

Go back and let him psychically come out and I'll see, so be it, let the next group of people come in and report the mission. ”

"Yes."

Tsunade was busy with work, but he didn't know that Heimasa hadn't slept all night in the room.

It wasn't until three days later that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Releasing the candle was the result of his careful consideration, and he had not dared to channel it before.

Now that he has a good relationship with the upper echelons of the village, and with Naruto's support, he dares to expose the existence of the two "Nine-Tails".

Tsunade didn't summon him urgently for three days, so this matter was over, and even if he wanted to see Candlelight Yuying later, he wouldn't come to him with a lineup like a great enemy.

Relaxed, he smiled, and after leaving a shadow clone, he returned to the Scarlet Cherry Blossom Wonderland to check his harvest.

Beneath the Temple of Light, the seven-colored divine light turned into a huge water tank, which was filled with blue liquid.

This was when the Void Black Hole devoured Greer's vein, and he quietly incarnated as a nature porter to use the boundary gate to remove it.

Grell Vein (Remnant): A liquid vein created by the compression and mutation of the forces of nature in the dungeon world.

Pingyaren began to laugh maniacally.

When he first saw the description of the Greer vein, he was almost stupid.

The power of nature, the power of nature that he has been looking for.

He should have thought of creating wells that never dry up, livestock that grew overnight, plants that kept bearing fruit, and what could turn people into beasts.

Nothing but the forces of nature.

He almost missed it.
