The land of tea.

Footsteps rang out in the built-in hallway.

Pushing open the door, I found the owner of the room sitting there alone drinking alcohol.

His face flushed slightly, and he looked boredly at the pond outside on the other side.

It was already morning, and the warm sunlight was shining in from outside, dispelling the shadows from the room.

"Tsunade-sama, don't drink here early in the morning."

Mute holding a pink pig, walked into the room, and looked at Tsunade who was drinking alone, with a deep resentment in his eyes.

"What's the matter, isn't it a good time to take advantage of the good time in the morning to relax alone. You're really boring, mute. ”

Tsunade ignored's admonition and took a sip of his glass, more like he was indulging in something than drinking.

Seeing the silence of this scene, I also sighed.

Maybe I heard some bad rumors, so I indulged like this.

Whether it's because of all the bad things that have happened to Konoha recently, or the Oni Country, maybe both.

"The past is in the past, Tsunade-sama has to look forward."

Mute said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm not down enough to be comforted by a little girl."

Tsunade waved his hand, not taking the mute to heart.

It's just that the wine that comes into the mouth seems to have a hint of bitterness.

Shizune sat aside, put down the pink pig in her arms, and began to clean up the room.

Just as she was packing up, the door to the built-in hallway opened again.

Both Tsunade and Shizune subconsciously looked up and saw that it was an older man with white hair.

"Sure enough, Tsunade, it's been a long time."

When the other party saw Tsunade, he greeted him with a smile.

"Jiraiya-sama?"

Mute was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect to run into Jiraiya at such a time.

Tsunade snorted lightly, his whereabouts were discovered by Jiraiya, it was not strange at all, he could avoid the eyes and ears of the shadows, but Jiraiya's intelligence gathering ability was very strong, and it was not so easy to avoid the eyes and ears of this guy.

"Aren't you traveling around the ninja world while writing your? What are you doing with me, an older woman? ”

Tsunade asked suspiciously.

"Can't you rekindle old love?"

Jiraiya touched his chin and looked at Tsunade's chest with a squint.

"If you want to die, say it sooner."

Tsunade narrowed his eyes, in a very unhappy mood.

Jiraiya choked a little, and since he remembered, it seemed that he had never been treated gently by Tsunade once.

What is worse than that Kato?

If you want to talk about women, no one in this world understands it better than him.

"Let's put things aside, I'm here to ask you about something."

Jiraiya sat down opposite Tsunade very naturally, not treating himself as an outsider, and poured himself a glass and drank with Tsunade.

"Things? What are you asking? If it's about the village, forget it, I've been out of there for a long time, and I can't answer anything. ”

Tsunade's eyes were a little hazy, and his expression was a little uncertain.

Jiraiya was silent for a moment, sighed, and said to Tsunade, "Don't worry, it doesn't have much to do with the village." ”

"What's that that deserves you to come over in person? Or is this the arrangement of Mr. Ape Fei? ”

Tsunade asked.

Jiraiya shook his head.

"This is my own will, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Ape Fei."

"Then you can say it."

Tsunade gently shook the wine glass in his hand, his face was slightly red, and he was a little drunk.

"How much do you know about Chiba Shiraishi?"

After Jiraiya asked this question, the atmosphere in the room became different from before.

It was a very oppressive atmosphere.

Shizune held her breath, and the pink pig next to her was also trembling, frightened by the momentum on Tsunade's body.

Ignoring Tsunade's deterrence, he stared closely into Tsunade's eyes and didn't back down.

"He's no longer Konoha's ninja, but Konoha's enemy."

Jilai also said the same.

Tsunade thought for a moment and glanced deeply at Jiraiya.

"It seems that the village is secretly carrying out some kind of operation."

"It's because of ......"

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. Even if you notify me, I won't be able to act with you. Regarding the information about Chiba Shiraishi, I had already reported it to Sarutobi-sensei a long time ago, and Sarutobi-sensei had made a decision...... Why, he doesn't even show you information? ”

Tsunade asked.

Jiraiya said, "That's not the case...... I naturally know about that part of the information. I also know that he knows how to do immortal arts. I'm just trying to figure out if you can keep the slug immortal in the Wet Bone Forest at bay and prevent it from participating in the next battle? ”

The Slug Immortal is the only overlord of the Wet Bone Forest.

Like the great toad immortal of Myoki Mountain, it is an ancient figure from a thousand years ago.

The slugs summoned by Tsunade in the past are only a part of the slug immortals, and if you want to psychically create a complete slug immortal, with the power of Tsunade, you can't do it.

Even so, the ability of the slug immortals, on the battlefield, is very powerful.

Healing-type psychic beasts are too rare in the ninja world.

"Hmm...... It can't be done. ”

Tsunade thought for a moment, then shook his head directly, indicating that he couldn't do it.

He has a good relationship with live slugs, but live are also psychic animals that respect contracts.

When it made a pact with Shiraishi, it already meant that it would fight for Shiraishi.

Moreover, since he is friends with live slugs, he should respect the way live slugs survive, even if the man he helps makes him very disliked.

"Is there really no way to interfere?"

I was also a little unwilling.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it...... Don't try to interfere with the will of the living slugs through my side. Otherwise, it will kill you first. ”

Tsunade's words are not intimidating, but stating the facts.

Although she had never seen the angry appearance of the live slug, the posture of the live slug that had lived for thousands of years and the angry posture of the live slug must be very terrifying.

This kind of request of Zilai obviously touches on the principle of living slug as a psychic animal.

Jiraiya sighed helplessly.

This operation is crucial, before the battle, if you can weaken the opponent's strength, try to weaken as much as possible.

As a contractor of the three holy lands, he knew the power of the Wet Bone Forest Slug Immortal.

The strength of the tip of the iceberg is terrifying enough, and you can imagine how terrifying its body is.

"In that case, there is no way to do it."

Jiraiya stood up, and couldn't find a breakthrough from Tsunade, so he had to fight head-on.

"Is this leaving?"

Tsunade was a little disappointed, and finally found someone who could accompany him.

"Time is of the essence, and my side must act immediately."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he walked out of the room.

"Don't die."

The voice came from behind abruptly.

Jiraiya froze in place, turning his head to Tsunade with a bright smile.

"Don't put on such a sad expression, I'm one of the three ninjas, and I won't be defeated so easily. In addition, if young people go down the wrong path because of wrong ideas, it is naturally our responsibility for those of us who are elders to bring them back to the right path. ”

Looking at the back of Jiraiya, who was gradually moving away, Tsunade took a sip of wine, turned his gaze, and looked at the pond.

"This idiot is still as naïve as ever...... Defection is defection, just like Orochimaru, it is impossible to be bound by the past anymore......"

Mute listened quietly on the sidelines, with a puzzled look on his face.

"That, Tsunade-sama, is Jiraiya-sama going to do something?"

"I don't know, who cares what he's going to do."

Tsunade's drunken voice rang out in the room.

◎

Konoha Village, in the middle of a jungle outside the main entrance.

A famous Konoha ninja gathered here one after another.

"Kai, this mission is very important, don't drop the chain halfway!"

Condolences from my father.

The young man with the shape of a watermelon skin immediately gave a thumbs up, and his white teeth were shining.

"Don't worry, Dad, youth is not allowed to fail!"

"Kai!"

Maitdai stared blankly at his son, Maitkai.

"Daddy!"

After speaking, the father and son hugged each other, tears of excitement flowed from their eyes, and they were full of youthful enthusiasm.

“…… So, can you please be quiet? ”

Ape Feilong had a headache and looked at this pair of strange father and son.

Should I say stupid, or should I say stupid?

Next, they have to carry out important and top-secret S-class missions, but there is no extra time to waste on funny and complaining.

"Sorry, Captain, you can go on."

Dai also seemed to know that he and his son's behavior was a little too reckless, and scratched his head in embarrassment and apologized.

Ape Feilong didn't accuse anything, but glanced at everyone in front of him.

In addition to Maite Dai's father and son, there are also ninjas from the major ninja clans, as well as good hands in the dark and roots.

And himself, who is the head of the dark department, and ape Feizi, the wife of the deputy minister of the dark department, are the two deputy commanders of the S-class mission team this time.

The commander-in-chief is Jiraiya, who has already moved one step ahead.

At this moment, it should be faster than them to travel to the Land of Winds.

Because they lack information about the country of ghosts, it is simply unrealistic to want to infiltrate the country of ghosts and get rid of the three targets in the mission.

They can only support each other with Sha Yin, so that they can also use the power of Sha Yin to create a safe fighting environment for them.

Therefore, the main battlefield will only be in the Land of Winds.

It's too risky to go deep into the enemy's ranks.

To be discovered is to fail the operation.

And they only have one chance.

"Then, I'll put it bluntly, this S-class mission is very important, only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed. If the mission fails, Konoha may be in great trouble, and he will lose face internationally...... So, please do your best. Like all of you, I will fight with the mindset of going to the death. ”

Sarutohiro's face was resolute, he knew that this mission was extremely dangerous, and he was ready to die at any time in the face of three unknown and powerful enemies.

As the eldest son of the Hokage, and the minister of the Shadows, he has a reason to live and die with his companions.

"Yes."

Everyone responded seriously.

Later, Dai asked, "So, what is the content of the S-class mission?" We've only been appointed, and we don't know what the mission is ......."

Because of the need for secrecy, the selected Konoha ninja basically only received orders that needed to perform S-class missions, and as for the content of the mission, it was top secret and could not be leaked out.

"Ruri Uchiha, Ayane Hinata, Shiraishi Chiba...... Our mission is to go to the Land of the Wind to assist Sand Hidden and eliminate these three S-class rebels who endanger the safety of Konoha. ”

Ape Feilong's voice was low.

The rest of the people were fine, although they were a little surprised, but after figuring out something, they nodded as a matter of course.

I felt that there was no need to be surprised that the village had made such a decision.

They have also heard about the affairs of the country of ghosts.

Only Kai's body trembled slightly, his fists clenched, and the expression on his face became very solemn.

Dai sensed something, patted Kai on the shoulder, and said nothing, only silent comfort.

"If that's okay, let's go right away. I will explain the details to you on the way, including some information about them, and I hope you will keep it in mind. ”

After Ape Feilong finished speaking, he nodded with the Ape Feilong next to him, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The rest of the people also disappeared one after another, following Sarufilong and Sarutobi purlins closely behind, heading towards the direction of the Land of Wind.

"Is this the list of reinforcements that Konoha is going to send to the Land of Wind? It's trickier than you think. ”

Sitting across from Shiraishi, Ayane folded her hands casually on her chest, looking at the list on the table between the two, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Indeed, none of them are ordinary ninjas, and it will be very tricky to face them alone."

Shiraishi did not deny Ayane's point of view.

Konoha plans to send these people to support the Land of the Wind and carry out a decapitation operation against the three of them, which proves how determined Konoha is to eradicate them.

It's because of the Uchiha clan's affairs...... I am still worried that the rise of the country of ghosts will further squeeze Konoha internationally and put Konoha in a more dangerous situation. These may all be the considerations of the Konoha higher-ups.

Faced with an existence that threatens Konoha's safety, and has a strong malice towards Konoha, these people will use all means to nip the danger in the bud.

The Uchiha is a great example of this.

"You and Liuli, are you really okay?"

You must know that after going to the Land of Wind, it is not only Konoha who is dealing with reinforcements, but also thousands of Sand Hidden Ninjas, as well as the Sand Hidden Elite Shinobi led by the four generations of Wind Shadow, and you can't ignore the threat of Sand Hide.

The country of ghosts does not yet have the power to encroach on the country of wind.

Because the territory of the Wind Country is too large, if the goal is to destroy the Wind Country, it is not impossible to do it with all your might.

But how to manage such a huge territory after that?

The mass base of the Land of the Wind has not yet been established.

When the time comes, the reactionary forces within the Land of the Wind will also become a constraint to their rule, and then the Kingdom of Demons will only be dragged into the quagmire of endless war.

The population of the Oni Country has not yet reached this point of surplus.

Even if fertility is constantly encouraged, it will take a few years to achieve results.

Shiraishi thought for a moment and said, "General Tu needs to maintain the internal inspection system of the Oni Country, the desert environment is not conducive to the play of the Water Dragon God, and Thunder Ming Pill is in the Star Ninja Village to ensure that the supply line will not be damaged...... The only ones who can go with me are the four clones of yin, yang, wind, and fire. As for the outcome of the battle, you will only know if you have fought it. ”

"I thought you were pretty sure. Do you want me to go with me? Let Lin and Obito temporarily preside over the two boys here, as your disciples, they should be enough to do such a job. ”

Ayane suggested.

Shiraishi shook his head and said, "No, you are here, so you can ensure that the situation is foolproof." I'm not 10% sure, but 78% is still there. After all, it's impossible to do everything every time, so let's take a little risk this time. ”

"It really doesn't look like your style."

"Occasionally, accidents happen, and at this point, you can't retreat if you want to. According to the reply letter of the mission to the Land of Thunder, Yun Yin's side has been pacified, but the level of pacification is still uncertain. On the Yanyin side, it also needs to be guarded against...... There's no better person to sit in the land of ghosts than you. ”

Because during the Third Ninja World War, Ayane and Iwakure had direct cooperation.

Iwakure, on the other hand, knows Ayain's strength, and as long as Aya is here, Iwakure will not dare to act rashly.

Yun Yin is the same.

Ayane has suppressed their Thunder Shadow head-on many times, and it also has a strong deterrent power.

Coupled with the assistance of Rin and Obito, there will not be much of a problem in garrisoning the country of ghosts.

After all, he couldn't put all his strength into the Wind Country, and he had to keep some of his followers, otherwise, it would only put the Ghost Country in an embarrassing situation.

"As for Konoha ...... Of all the people on this list, the toughest ones are Jiraiya and Maite Dai. ”

The former is one of the three ninjas of Konoha, and his strength has definitely changed a lot compared to before.

The latter is a ninja who specializes in physical arts, and has mastered the forbidden art of the Eight Doors Dunjia, once this trick is used, his strength will become extremely terrifying, and it may be even more tricky than Jiraiya.

"Are you sure you can deal with both of them?"

"The words of the two of them are probably a little reluctant. Because Maite Dai's physical technique after opening the Eight Doors Dunjia will be more tricky for me. And I'm not very good at dealing with pure body type guys. ”

"Then you need to be well prepared."

"Of course."

Shiraishi got up from his seat and looked out the window at the sky, it was past noon.

"It's almost time to go, and I'll leave it to you to guard the country of ghosts. I'm going to the Land of the Wind to join Ruri. ”

"Don't worry, leave it to me, I won't let there be problems here."

Ayane also knew the importance of her mission, so she didn't ask for any willfulness to set off with Shiraishi.

The opponent we faced this time was quite a small match, so I hope there won't be any surprises.

Thinking about Shiraishi's current situation, Ayane felt that she might have been overly worried.

Anyway, they're not the same people they were more than a decade ago.

Konoha knows too little about them, and in terms of intelligence, they have a certain advantage.

◎

The lines of the chakra appeared on the transparent walls, and then a door opened from the void.

Shiraishi walked into it.

I saw a group of staff in white coats, sitting in front of the computer, or standing aside, taking out a pen and paper to record something.

There are also some technicians in white coats, who use various tools to repair and clean the dust on a humanoid machine.

As soon as Shiraishi entered, the humanoid machine began to beep and beep.

The huge red jade on his chest flashed and flashed, like a warning light, to prevent unrelated people from approaching.

Noticing Shiraishi's arrival, the technicians stopped their repair work and stood respectfully aside.

"Lord Shiraishi."

"How's it going? I'm going to leave for the Land of the Wind, but I don't want to drop the chain or anything like that. ”

Shiraishi asked aloud.

"Destroyer 001 has been fully charged, and the fusion is perfect. And the attack, flight, and defense modes can also be switched perfectly, and the chakra transfer and transformation functions are also benign and everything goes well. ”

A technician replied.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Shiraishi laughed.

From the mechanical ear holes of the humanoid machine, a scorching white air flow suddenly erupted, and the body trembled slightly.

The cables on either side of its waist were unplugged by its mechanical arm, causing the floor to whine with each step.

The heavy body is as heavy as a hill, but when it walks, it is not slower than a normal person, but it looks very bulky.

Its torso is round, and a large red jade is inlaid on its chest, like a core source, containing a high density of chakra.

There is no neck, and a semi-circular metal head is directly inlaid on the round torso, with slender and flexible mechanical limbs, which looks cute and cute.

The whole body is flame red, but the color is darker, and the joints are still silver-white with a metallic texture, and you can see very precise bearing parts.

The white steam in the ear hole appeared again, and he stood straight in front of Shiraishi and stopped, bowing very humanely, to show his highest respect and admiration for the Supreme Creator.

The Destroyer 001 is very tall, and Shiraishi's height is probably only as high as the red jade on its chest.

"It seems that the recovery is good, after all, I have a better body."

Shiraishi looked at the Destroyer 001 in front of him with satisfaction.

The red jade flickered again, beeping and beeping.

"I see, I'm here to take you out."

In response to Shiraishi, it was still a beep-beeping sound.

But Shiraishi could feel the joy and joy in the other party's heart.

Shiraishi smiled slightly, turned around and walked ahead, and the Destroyer 001 took the initiative to follow, like a loyal guardian, completely protecting Shiraishi's back, not allowing anyone to invade this realm belonging to the Creator.

Outside the research institute, there were already two figures waiting for Shiraishi.

The black-haired girl in a shrine maiden costume has circle-like pupils that gradually change in color, releasing inorganic colors, and her face is expressionless.

Beside her was a white, broken-haired child who reached only her waist, with half-open eyes, drowsy, and rather unrefreshed.

In his hand he held a long spear wrapped in a white bandage, only the red tip was partially exposed, and the bandage was painted with dense eyeballs that looked like living things.

At this moment, he held the spear in his immature hands, and he was dozing there, and there were bubbles blowing in his nostrils, big and small, like a child who had not grown up and had a thirsty hobby.

Even when Shiraishi and Destroyer 001 came over, he didn't look up, just dozed off half-asleep.

"Now that we're all here, let's go. Travel to the Land of the Wind. ”

After Shiraishi finished speaking, the Destroyer 001 behind him immediately spewed out an exhaust gas with a gradient red light from his back, floating in mid-air.

Shiraishi jumped upwards and landed easily on the back of Destroyer 001.

The maiden maiden dress nodded, and held the dozing boy next to her in her arms, her body wrapped around the breath of the wind, and her body floated upward.

When he floated to a certain position, the white-haired boy in his arms finally woke up, and suddenly let out a 'wow' exclamation, and his sleepiness disappeared at once.

Looking at the base building that was getting smaller below, the little face gradually turned pale, and the spear in his hand was almost thrown down in fright, and his face was aimed at the girl's chest, squeezing desperately, not daring to look at the scene below.

Tianyu Nu's expressionless face also showed a rather unhappy expression because her breasts were squeezed.

It's so troublesome, I really want to drop it. She thought to herself.
