The maple forest at dusk is particularly beautiful.

"Is there any news for me to convey, Ning Cijun?"

Most of his body had melted into the ground, and Hei Jue asked slowly.

After being silent for a while, Ning Ci under the hat finally spoke.

"I'll take care of Orochimaru's affairs, so let the leader wait for my good news!"

The tone was extremely indifferent, and it seemed that the loss not long ago did not have much impact on Ning Ci.

"I see!"

After nodding, he completely melted into the ground, and after watching the ground float for a moment, he completely regained his calm.

"Are you gone?"

Standing quietly in place for a long time, raising his head to look at the sunset as red as blood, the corners of Ning Ci's mouth moved and muttered.

For Jue's departure, Ning Ci didn't mind.

Whether it is as an intelligence investigator on the surface of the Akatsuki organization, or the mastermind behind the secret bewitching Uchiha Obito, it is impossible for him to stay with him for a long time.

This time to deal with the matter of Orochimaru, although the companions who accompanied him, it is better to say that he is an overseer, after all, the reason for joining Akatsuki in the first place is indeed too abrupt, as the man who replaced Madara Uchiha and controlled the development trend of the Akatsuki organization after his death, it is impossible for that guy to be indifferent to his joining.

And now that Hei Jue is gone, it seems that he has passed his test.

Thinking of this, Ning Ci raised his head and set his eyes on the red Caixia.

It's just that the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and there is an inexplicable smile.

……

And at the same time, an izakaya at dusk.

Tsunade and Jiraiya sat together, and Shizune, who was holding a guinea in his arms not far away, was comforting Naruto with a helpless face.

"Let me be the Hokage, you're not kidding, are you?"

Holding a wine cup in his left hand, Tsunade's face was slightly red, and it seemed that he was already a little drunk.

"I'm not kidding, Tsunade, as the granddaughter of the original Hokage, there's no one better suited than you these days!"

Putting the wine cup on the table, he didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"Like the martyrs of the village in the past, Sarutobi-sensei sacrificed his life to protect the village, you can't understand this feeling, Tsunade?"

Speaking of this, Jiraiya raised his right hand and drank all the wine in the wine cup, looking at Tsunade's gaze self-evident.

In response, Tsunade just raised the cup in his hand and looked inside, as if he wanted to find something inside.

After a long silence, the woman finally relented.

"If that kid can learn the Spiral Pill in three days, I'll promise you."

After speaking, she drank it all, which made her face even redder.

"That's a deal, Tsunade!"

At this time, why didn't I understand Tsunade's thoughts, and I was suddenly a little surprised.

"You show me, okay, I can learn the Spiral Pill tomorrow!"

As if stimulated by Tsunade's contemptuous gaze, Naruto on the side suddenly stood up.

Unlike the reckless boasting of the original book, Naruto, who had experienced the stimulation of the Ninji incident, worked significantly harder than before.

In these few days of rest, Naruto had mastered the preliminary state of the Spiral Pill, but it was still a little unstable to maintain.

So what he said this time is very certain.

"yes, then I'm looking forward to your performance."

Looking at Naruto's unyielding appearance, Tsunade just shook his head, and then moved his gaze back to the wine cup, which seemed to reflect the shadow of a black-haired teenager.

Rope Tree ......

Tsunade was a little distracted at that moment, but with the tilt of the wine cup, this shadow instantly shattered.

Looking back at the crystal clear sake in the sake cup, Tsunade realized that it was just his own hallucination.

After smiling, Tsunade raised the wine cup in his hand and sat there silently for a long time.

The next day at sunset, Tsunade appeared next to a large tree that had been completely pierced.

"Do you have anything else to say, Tsunade?"

Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade, who had fallen completely silent, and suddenly asked.

"Well, I see, Jiraiya, I'll go back to the village with you!"

Glancing at Naruto who was panting, Tsunade's cold expression gradually relaxed to reveal a hint of softness, and then slowly walked towards Naruto, his middle finger lightly tapping on Naruto's forehead.

"Little ghost, I lost the bet with you!"

As he spoke, he put a necklace studded with green crystals around Naruto's neck, and looked at Naruto who was a little dazed, Tsunade smiled slightly, and then patted his right hand on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Looking at Tsunade after the haze dissipated, Shizune couldn't restrain his emotions a little, and his tone was a little choked.

"Don't worry, mute, because this is the true demeanor of the only female ninja among the three ninjas!"

Appeared behind Shizune.,Looking at Tsunade who finally got out of the knot in his heart.,Jiraiya's face also bloomed with a real smile.

Three days later, in the Kingdom of Shen, a man wearing a red floating cloud robe appeared.

"Is this it?"

After lifting the hat tied to the wind chimes, Ning Ci looked at the tall and magnificent Shouqi City in front of him and muttered to himself.

"White eyes!"

As the white eyes opened, the buildings that looked decayed and dilapidated in front of them had a strong chakra flow.

"Looks like it's right here."

Frowning and looking at this city that had been maintained for many years and still had chakra flowing, a trace of strangeness flashed in Ning Ci's eyes.

My purpose is the city.

The country of Shen, this is a country of tragedy that has been destroyed for many years.

Due to the war, even the daimyo died tragically in his castle, but before he died, he summoned a behemoth and destroyed all the enemies that broke into the castle, and it did not return to the psychic world.

On the contrary, due to the original contract, this guy has been staying here and looking at the desolation around him, at least twenty years have passed.

Thinking of this, Ning Ci couldn't help but sigh a little.

Ever since he saw the unbelievable psychic operation, Ning Ci finally recalled the unbelievable psychic beast in his memory.

The lizard of the Shouqi clan is not weaker in strength and speed than the big toad Bunta of Jiraiya, and in some ways it is even stronger than Bunta, such as illusion, it has proven its strength to be able to keep transforming into a castle for twenty years without being noticed, plus their clan pays attention to the spirit of contract, and even did not return to the psychic world for twenty years after the death of their master.

This made Ning Ci even more interested in it.

There was a "creak", and the door that had been sealed for a long time was slowly pushed open.

The dust was everywhere, and the gloomy interior of the castle was reflected in its original appearance by the sudden light that shone in.

On the corridor covered with cobwebs, Ning Ci walked slowly on it.

And in the blind corner above the head, where the light does not shine, there are already many wriggling tentacles stretched out.

"Aren't you welcome to me?"

The white eye had already detected the squirming tentacles around him, and Ning Ci sneered.

"Whoosh!"

Several tentacles fell from the sky, and Ning Ci only dodged this sneak attack with just a slight sideways.

But this was not the end, as the attack began, a large number of tentacles squirmed and grabbed towards Ning Ci from all sides.

The tentacles are pressed black, and it seems that these decades have not affected this guy's strength too much.

"Back to heaven!"

With a cold snort, the pale blue chakra that emerged from his body wrenched all the tentacles that approached him into crumbs.

After being cleared out of a large space, the ground also began to float, and after a while, this guy's diaphragm flesh wall had appeared in the nearby corridor, and soon the corridors had closed together, and not far behind him, there was already a red flesh wall that began to squeeze towards Ning Ci.

"The tentacles don't work, do you want to use this method?"

Looking at all this indifferently, Ning Ci just shook his head, and then his hands condensed a large amount of chakra.

"Gossip empty palm!"

Without sparing any hand, the chakra shock wave mixed with air instantly blasted the wriggling red flesh wall in front of him into a hole of more than three meters.

Through the big hole caused by the empty palm of the gossip, through the white eyes, Ning Ci could clearly see that under the light of the attic not far away, a green scroll was placed on the head of the desk.

"Where is it?"

Ning Ci frowned, looked around and began to squirm again, and then his gaze fell on the green scroll in the attic.

"Moonwalk!"

The scroll that signed the contract had been discovered, so Ning Ci had no reason to entangle with the other party, and after stepping on the air and dodging a few tentacles hidden in the shadows, Ning Ci appeared in the attic without danger.

Looking at the dim light, the scroll still remains intact.

Ning Ci did not hesitate and quickly opened it.

Biting his thumb and glancing at the name of Shouqi Gangzuo in the frontispiece, I also had an understanding in my heart.

Was this man who summoned it?

Knowing this, he no longer hesitated, and Ning Ci was stained with his own blood and quickly wrote his name on the scroll.

Under the name of Shouqi Gangzuo, the four big characters of Hinata Ningji appeared.

Soon, just after Ning Ciluo wrote the last stroke of his name.

The surroundings that were still squirming around the red flesh wall stopped instantly.

Then there was a sound of "bang", and after a burst of white air, the place where the original Shouqi City was originally Shouqi City became empty, as if such a castle had never existed.

However, standing on the ruins of the original Shouqi City, Ning Ci, who was wearing a red floating cloud robe, looked thoughtfully at the green scroll left in his hand.
