Chapter 26: The Direction of the Wind

"What a harsh voice......"

Even through the impermeable tight wall panels, the sound of machinery in the factory is still keenly perceived by the child.

The Oni no Kuni Military Factory, located in the Land of Waves, is working almost all the time, producing and equipping some industrial weapons that outsiders can't know.

The purpose of these weapons, and where they will be used, is also unknown to outsiders.

Not to mention outsiders, not many people know about the ninjas of the Oni no Kuni who have settled in this factory.

However, Chiko is not interested in learning about these things, and now he just wants to go back to his room quickly and quiet his brain.

He was tormented by all kinds of voices along the way, and if he continued like this, his consciousness would inevitably go out of control and go violent.

If I had known this, I should have sealed myself up and sunk to the depths of the sea.

I heard that it is a realm beyond the reach of human flesh and blood, and it is a silent dark world.

That way, I guess I'll be much quieter.

Thinking like this, Chizi thought that the next time he couldn't help but run away, he would 'throw his corpse' to the bottom of the sea to give it a try.

"Are you back?"

A cold voice rang in my ears.

With long black hair comparable to silk, she has a good appearance, but her temperament gives people a sense of indifference that is not close to people, and the girl appears there at some point, looking directly at the naked child not far away, while pressing her forehead with one hand on her strange behavior.

"Hmm."

Faced with the girl's question, Ako stopped, nodded, and answered softly.

Unlike other doppelgangers, he doesn't have much awe for the girl in his current state.

Ichihime didn't care about the attitude of the child.,And the 'outside' state.,Unlike the young child who likes to be sleepy.,The 'inside' state of the child's child is very dangerous.,The character is also indifferent and more thorough.,Although there is common sense,But it's irrational.。

Kazuhime pulled out a palm-sized transparent plastic bottle from her ninja bag, a medicine bottle containing a large number of blood-red round pills.

Watching this medicine bottle fly towards him, Akako caught it.

"You're running out of medicine, aren't you? Pay attention to the number of times you take the medicine, and don't take too much at once. Moreover, your body is becoming more and more resistant to drugs. ”

Chiko nodded, opened the medicine bottle without hesitation, poured out two blood-red pills from it, put them in his mouth, and swallowed them directly into his stomach.

The drug began to flare up, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and his brain began to quiet down.

Kazuhime walked over, stretched out his hand, and said, "Okay, bring the 'Dead Soul Gun', you'd better not hold such a dangerous thing when you sleep." I'll give it back to you when you wake up. ”

Chiko knew that the other party didn't trust his restraint, but fortunately, he didn't believe in his restraint either.

"Don't break the seal, you can't control it."

Akako handed the long handle wrapped in a cloth belt behind her to Ichihime and admonished her.

"I'm not that boring."

He took the Dead Soul Gun handed over by Akako.

Wrapped in the white cloth tape of the painted eyeball, the true appearance of the weapon inside is not visible.

But when I started it, it was very cold, as if I was holding a piece of cold ice in my hand.

However, this coldness only lasted for a second, and it was isolated by Ichihime with chakra.

After handing over the Death Spear, it was meaningless for Akako to stay here, and he walked towards his residence without saying a word.

Kazuhime turned his head to see Akako leave, and then looked down at the Dead Soul Gun in his hand, through the evil eyeballs on the cloth belt, Kazuhime seemed to see the depths of the eyeballs, full of miserable green phantoms of all kinds of painful struggles, there were men, women, different shapes, in the dark space of the eyeballs, let out painful wails and curses.

This wail and curse even penetrated Kazuhime's eardrums, circulating in her ears and stimulating her sensitive nerves.

"Be quiet!"

Kazuhime frowned, and the terrifying chakra emanated from her body, and her eyes also changed to the state of the three-hooked jade writing wheel.

After a brief period of a few seconds, the sound slowly dissipated from Kazuhime's ears.

The shadow of the soul in the darkness looked at Kazuhime with a gaze full of resentment and hatred, but no one dared to continue to make noise.

"Kakashi-sensei, see, I've made it!"

Three days later, Naruto was standing on the water with his hands in his hands, bouncing there without sinking into it, and it was clear that he had mastered the knack of treading water.

Now he is showing off to Kakashi, hoping that the other party can compliment him.

"Ah, with your ability, in less than a week, you can learn to tread water, which is really powerful."

Kakashi nodded approvingly.

After all, the practice of climbing trees, Naruto had already taken a week to learn.

The difficulty of treading water was even more difficult than climbing trees, and coupled with the constant interference of the Nine-Tails Chakra, he initially thought that Naruto would take more than a week to learn to tread water...... Now it seems that Naruto's talent as a ninja is beyond his expectations.

This kid doesn't seem to realize how special he is. Looking at the beaming Naruto, Kakashi thought to himself.

Naruto, who does everything with a three-minute heat, becomes extremely persistent when it comes to cultivation.

This perseverance, coupled with his own talent, the more he goes to the back, the faster his strength grows.

When it reaches the point where it can control the nine-tailed chakra in the body, the strength is even more rapid day by day.

The terrible power of human pillars is obvious to all.

Konoha does not have a cultivation method for the Perfect Human Pillar Force, and even if they communicate with Wuyin and Yunyin many times, these two villages have no intention of trading the Perfect Human Pillar Power cultivation method with Konoha.

The Nine-Tails is already the strongest tailed beast, and if the human pillar force can perfectly control the power of the Nine-Tails, then it will not be a very good thing for the rest of the villages.

Although the process of cultivating the Perfect Human Pillar Force is very difficult, not a short-term effort, and it is also accompanied by life-threatening risks, but if Konoha has the Perfect Human Pillar Force, it is estimated that even Sha Yin, who is a staunch ally, will start to be wary of Konoha .

But even so, Konoha who doesn't have a perfect human pillar power cultivation method has a high degree of research on tailed beasts.

The root also relied on the Tailed Beast Chakra to create a Tailed Beast Forbidden Medicine that allowed ninjas to use part of the Tailed Beast's power.

Coupled with the experience of the previous two generations of Nine-Tails Pillar Force, as long as Naruto meets the minimum requirements, Kakashi believes that the high-level leaders led by the three generations will inevitably let Naruto begin to master the power of the Nine-Tails through some means. Even if you only master the part, you can greatly increase the overall strength of Konoha.

The power of the Tailed Beast is so unreasonable.

At the beginning, the Nine-Tails went berserk, and Konoha paid the lives of hundreds of elite ninjas, as well as the sacrifice of four generations of Hokage, to reluctantly suppress the Nine-Tails.

If it weren't for the Nine-Tails who caused such a big sacrifice to Konoha and later fought with Yun Yin, Konoha would not have been so passive, and even the Hyuga clan was bullied by Yun Yin to the house, praying for a compromise to calm Yun Yin's anger.

In Kakashi's opinion, Naruto may become a powerful ninja like his father, the fourth Hokage, in the future.

Thinking of that sunny man, Kakashi sighed in his heart.

Recently, I have been getting more and more upset.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

"Huh?"

Kakashi came back to his senses and saw Naruto standing in front of him with a disgruntled expression.

"You were in a daze, weren't you?"

Naruto said dissatisfied.

"Ah, sorry, I remembered something, what's wrong?"

Kakashi asked, holding "Intimacy Heaven".

"Well, I've learned how to tread water, and now I should be able to teach me how to breathe fire and release lightning."

Naruto rubbed his hands together and grinned.

“…… You remember that. ”

"Of course, I want to have such a handsome trick too."

As he spoke, he quickly sealed as Sasuke did, and his mouth opened:

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

Whew-

Exhaled a breath.

Not to mention the flames, not even a trace of fire was spit out.

Naruto didn't care, though, and instead looked at Kakashi with a hopeful gaze.

"That being said, I don't know what your chakra attribute is."

"Chakra attributes?"

Naruto looked confused.

"Yes, the reason why Sasuke is able to use Fire and Thunder is because his chakra contains two attributes, fire and thunder, so after mastering the change in the nature of Chakra, he can release Fire and Thunder. But Naruto you, I don't know what your chakra attribute is. ”

In other words, if it weren't for the fire and thunder attributes, the idea of cultivating fire and thunder would have been directly discarded from the mind.

"Kakashi-sensei doesn't know either?"

Naruto asked urgently.

"I'm not you, how do I know? Forget it, looking at your appearance, you also know that you don't know much about the change in the nature of chakra, so let's test what your chakra attribute is. ”

Kakashi said as he pulled out a blank piece of paper from his ninja bag.

Naruto learned to tread water, and Chakra control barely reached a passing level, so it was not a bad thing to start learning the techniques of Chakra's nature change at this time.

In the lower and middle ninja stages, the retreat technique can greatly enrich its own tricks, making the tactics also diverse.

The shadow clone's decoy tactics are okay against ordinary ninjas, but they may not be effective against powerful ninjas.

But if you use a shadow clone, and then use the transformation technique on the basis of the shadow clone, and perform a more powerful harem technique, then the effect is a different matter.

After all, although the ability of the harem technique is a little strange, as long as it can ensure victory and effectively hit the enemy's spiritual will, it is a powerful killing move.

Ninja battles are only focused on the result, not the process.

From this point of view, Kakashi believes that Naruto has developed a very remarkable ninjutsu.

For certain groups of people, it may be more effective than S-class Upanishads.

"What is this?"

Naruto looked at the white piece of paper that Kakashi had taken out and tilted his head in confusion.

"This is the chakra test strip, as long as you inject the chakra into it, you can know what your chakra properties are. If the chakra attribute is a fire attribute, the paper will burn, the earth attribute paper will be shattered, the thunder attribute paper will be wrinkled, the water attribute paper will be wet, and if it is the wind attribute, the production will have a cut. ”

"It's so complicated."

Naruto didn't look like he understood much.

"Just try to come."

Kakashi placed the chakra test paper in front of Naruto.

Naruto took it and injected his own chakra into the chakra test paper as Kakashi had said.

Laugh at!

There was an extra notch on the white piece of paper that had been cut by a sharp blade.

"It's ......"

Naruto looked at the piece of paper that had been cut out of a wound.

"It seems that you can't use Fire Escape and Thunder Escape, your current chakra attribute is wind."

"Wind?"

Having never seen anyone use Wind Escape, Naruto didn't know if Wind Escape was powerful.

"Yes, in the Five Escape Ninjutsu, the water retreats from the fire, the fire retreats from the wind, the wind retreats from the thunder, the thunder retreats from the earth, and the earth retreats from the water. This is the rule of the five elements. ”

But the rule of the five elements is not one layer of immutability.

Depending on the user, the power of ninjutsu will also be weakened and enhanced.

For example, the Uchiha clan's fire escape, it is difficult for ordinary ninjas to resist using water escape.

"In that case, my abilities will be restrained by Sasuke, right?"

"According to the rules, your wind escape will restrain Sasuke's thunder escape, but Sasuke's fire escape will restrain your fire escape."

Seeing Naruto's lost look, Kakashi said again, "Actually, there is another rule, that is, the five elements not only restrain each other, but also grow together. Although the fire escape restrains the wind escape, it can also use the power of the wind to make the fire escape stronger. If you use Wind Escape and Sasuke uses Fire Escape, then the Fire Escape that is bred will go to the next level, producing an excellent effect that one plus one is greater than two. ”

Sure enough, Naruto, who heard this, swept away the depression on his face, revealing a look of surprise.

But this surprise didn't last long, he snorted, turned his head and said in an awkward tone, "Who wants to cooperate with that stinky guy." ”

“…… The reason is given to you, how you want to do it, that's your business. Since your attribute is wind, then I'll give you a relatively simple entry to wind escape. ”

As he spoke, Kakashi began to seal.

The speed of the seal is not fast, and the movement is one by one, otherwise with all the strength of the seal, with Naruto's dynamic vision, he will not be able to see the order of the seal at all.

"Wind Escape: Great Breakthrough!"

Kakashi took a deep breath, then spat out a violent whirlwind from his mouth, and everywhere he went, the sand along the shore was swept up, and the dust flew into the sky, and then scattered in a flutter.

Naruto was dumbfounded.

"Good, good!"

Then he reacted, looked at Kakashi suspiciously, and asked, "Then again, does Kakashi also have the same chakra attribute as me?" ”

Kakashi nodded and said indifferently, "That's right, my chakra attribute also includes wind. However, my initial attributes were only thunder and earth, and the remaining attributes were cultivated step by step after I became a middle ninja and a top ninja. Therefore, not only thunder, earth and wind, but also water and fire. It's just that my best escape techniques are still thunder escape and earth escape. ”

After all, people's energy is limited, although they have all the chakra attributes and have learned all the escape techniques, but except for the thunder escape and earth escape, the rest of the escape techniques are superficial.

But even so, teaching a rookie like Naruto, he still has no problem.

“……”

For some reason, Naruto always felt that Kakashi was deliberately playing handsome with him.

In a tone of course, he said lightly that he could use all the retreats...... This cool look is even more annoying than Sasuke's.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, let's start cultivating, Kakashi-sensei."

Naruto said.

"Don't you have to rest? You look tired these days. ”

"How can I have all this time, I want to get stronger quickly and catch up with that guy from Sasuke!"

Naruto said firmly.

"Okay, though, I have a request next."

"What?"

"When exercising the wind attribute chakra, use the shadow clone to let your shadow clone learn together. But the number of shadow clones should be controlled within five, not too much. ”

"Why?"

"It's a bit tricky to talk about specifically, but I'll explain it to you after you experience it with your body. You just need to try it according to my method, and in less than half a month, you can learn that introductory wind escape ninjutsu. ”

"Okay."

Naruto looked at Kakashi's pretending to be mysterious, so he had to follow Kakashi's instructions and use the shadow clone technique to separate four shadow clones.

……

Leaving Naruto alone in the woods not far away, with the shadows of Kamibu watching, Kakashi knew nothing would go wrong.

He came alone to another clearing in the woods, where there was already a man waiting for him.

As Kakashi's footsteps approached, the other man looked up and smiled, "I'm still as sharp as ever, Kakashi." The shadows didn't notice me, and it turned out that you were the first to notice my presence. ”

The person who is waiting for Kakashi's arrival here is none other than Jiraiya, one of the three shinobi who often wander outside Konoha Village.

"Jiraiya-sama praised it falsely, but Naruto's matter is very important, and I don't think I can protect him by myself. As I expected, Hokage-sama made other arrangements. ”

Kakashi said, looking at Jiraiya.

Compared to him, the head of the dark department who joined the Hokage faction halfway, it is obvious that Jiraiya, who has been by his side since he was a child and has always been loyal to Konoha is more worthy of the Hokage's trust.

Even the roots have never doubted Jiraiya's loyalty to Konoha.

Changing to another Konoha ninja, dare to be away all year round, and communicate with the village less than a few times a year, even if the Hokage doesn't do anything, the root side will take corresponding action and wipe it out.

For Konoha ninjas who don't listen to the village's commands, the tolerance of the roots is equal to zero.

"This is also something that can't be helped, after all, he is the child of Watergate and Jiu Xinnai, and he is also a nine-tailed pillar force, no matter how much protection is invested, it is a matter of course."

Especially when the other party is extremely weak at the moment, not to mention facing the upper ninja, even if it is a slightly stronger middle ninja, he can be solved.

Kakashi nodded, not denying it.

"A few days ago, the Akako of the Oni no Kuni came into contact with Naruto, and although the other party said that the encounter with Naruto was just an accident, but you can't put your hope in the Oni Country. Konoha and the country of demons are at loggerheads, and they might do something to Naruto. ”

Jiraiya said his guess.

"Is that so?"

Kakashi felt like he was thinking too much.

The demand for tailed beasts in the country of ghosts is not as important as that of the traditional five powers.

Especially Xiao also has an urgent need for tailed beasts, if the country of ghosts targets Konoha's nine-tails, it means that Xiao's attention will be shifted to the country of ghosts.

In that case, not only will it not be able to cause a fierce conflict between Xiao and the traditional five powers, but it will also cause the country of ghosts to start a war with Xiao in advance, and the traditional five powers will stay out of the matter and can watch from the sidelines.

This situation is obviously in conflict with the plans of the Oni Country.

But these words cannot be explained with self-explanatory.

These suspicions of the other party are also reasonable,

"I'll take care of Naruto's safety, and Jiraiya-sama is here, so even if there are any intrigues in the country of ghosts, I guess it won't succeed."

Kakashi said.

Jiraiya nodded slightly in agreement, and if he was alone, it was indeed a bit reluctant to deal with the ninjas of the Oni Country in the country of waves.

The bare son alone must make him highly vigilant.

There is also a Chiba Kazuhime whose strength is unknown, and the other party is the daughter of Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri, and her strength cannot be underestimated.

Even if you can take down the other party with your own strength, I'm afraid it will be very reluctant.

"In other words, Jiraiya-sama was sent here to guard against the power of the Oni Country?"

Kakashi asked.

"In this regard, in addition, there is one more important thing to explain to you."

Jiraiya's expression became solemn.

"Other important things?"

"You should know that I've been tracking down Orochimaru's tracks all these years."

Jiraiya said.

"Yes."

Because the department that assists Jiraiya in investigating the matter of Orochimaru is the dark department.

Kakashi, as the head of the dark department, still knows a lot about this matter.

"And how much do you know about that organization?"

Orochimaru joins a mysterious organization, and the shadows also learn a little.

It's not much, but it's enough to arouse the vigilance of the shadows.

"I only know that the core members of that organization, wearing a coat with red clouds on a black background, wander around the ninja world, and I don't know what the purpose is. Did the adult know anything? ”

The three ninjas have different abilities, and they all have their own strong achievements in their respective fields.

Tsunade's medical ninjutsu.

Orochimaru's forbidden art research.

and the immortal magic of Jiraiya...... and his incomparably powerful intelligence-gathering ability, which can be called Konoha's eyes to the outside world.

In the past, when the dark department was paralyzed, the intelligence gathering work of the outside world was also responsible for himself.

Although the actions of the Xiao organization are very secretive, if it is Jiraiya, it is really possible to detect some things that ordinary people can't know.

"I'm not 100% sure, but based on what I've investigated, they seem to be more interested in something special in the ninja world."

"For example?"

"Tailed."

Jiraiya said solemnly.

"Did Hokage-sama know about this?"

Kakashi looked up and met Jiraiya's eyes.

"I've already reported to him, so this time I'm here, not just to see Naruto, but also to tell you. There are a lot of S-class traitors in that organization, so you have to be careful. ”

Jiraiya reminded Kakashi seriously.

He knew that Kakashi was very powerful, but the members of that mysterious organization were also dangerous. When the two meet, it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose.

"I see."

Kakashi sighed, then swept his gaze into the depths of the woods and said in a meaningful tone:

"The wind direction has become a little strange lately......
