Chapter 215: Mission
October 2nd.
The members of the seventh and eighth squads and Kai's team, who received Tsunade's orders, arrived at Turtle Island in the waters of Thunder Country on time at around 10 a.m.
This "Paradise" that can move freely on the sea naturally caused a wave of surprise among everyone.
Generally speaking, ninjas think of the word giant beast, they will think of tailed beasts, or large psychic beasts, but after seeing this turtle island, they found that the existence of turtle island is much larger than tailed beasts and large psychic beasts. If you want to get a glimpse of the whole picture of Turtle Island, you can only look down from the sky.
"That's amazing, is this where we're going to be next?"
Naruto looked at the upside-down rock pillars on Turtle Island, which wrapped around the edge of Turtle Island in a neat circle, forming an excellent natural protective ring.
The entrance to Turtle Island is hidden in this dense rock pillar, and if there is no one to lead it, you can only break into Turtle Island from the air.
"So it seems."
Tianzo nodded, also surprised by the existence of Turtle Island. It was the first time he had seen such a large creature.
And Hinata, who belongs to the Kai team, also participated in this S-class mission, after he opened his eyes, he stared directly at the turtle island in front of him, and as a result, a backlash energy was suddenly discharged from around the turtle island, making Ning Ci's eyes stinging subconsciously.
By the time he opened his eyes again, Ning Ci had already closed the white of his eyes. "Brother Ningci, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Ning Ci's face was wrong, Hinata, who was a member of the eighth class search team, hurriedly became worried.
"I'm fine, this island is equipped with a strong anti-reconnaissance system, even my white eyes are difficult to penetrate." Ning Ci shook his head and informed everyone of the defense level of this Turtle Island.
"Can't even see through the white of your eyes? Aside from the rest, the ability to conceal seems to be beyond doubt." Tianzang nodded, and said with surprise.
If Yun Yin didn't even have this means, then this island would not have been chosen by the alliance as a secret stronghold to hide the power of the human pillar.
After all, in the next war, the existence of the human pillar force is related to the survival of the alliance, and I believe that no one will have any crooked thoughts in this regard.
Following the directions given by Tsunade, Tenzo led everyone to the entrance of Turtle Island. There, there was already a dark part of the clouds waiting for a long time.
After Tianzo showed the letter, he was standing guard at the entrance of the cloud hidden dark department to confirm that the letter was correct, and then released Konoha and the others into the interior of Turtle Island. The rigorous attitude can be seen.
Through the secluded rock cave, soon everyone walked out of the rock cave, and a lush forest suddenly opened up in front of them. Faintly, there is a walkable path in front of you, which runs through the entire forest.
The trees here are unusually tall and knotted, and their thick roots are beginning to break through the ground, making them look tough and full of life.
The quiet and peaceful atmosphere gives people the illusion of being in a paradise, and they unconsciously begin to immerse themselves in such a peaceful atmosphere.
"You're finally here."
A sudden voice interrupted the man's musings.
Tsunade and the four generations of Thunder Shadow came together and stood in front of everyone. "Granny Tsunade, Uncle Thunder Shadow."
"Hokage-sama, Thunderkage-sama."
With different titles, Naruto and his party walked up and met with Tsunade and the four generations of Thunder Shadow. "Hokage-sama, we're not late."
As the leader of the team, Tenzo reports to Tsunade.
"No, it's just the right time to meet. But you weren't followed along the way, were you?" Tsunade asked.
Tenzo paused for a moment, nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Hokage-sama, we haven't disclosed this mission to anyone except for the people involved. And on the way here, we also carefully checked all the way, whether it was the sea or the sky, we only moved to this side after confirming that there was no one in sight."
"That's good, if this place is exposed, things will be in trouble. Thunder Shadow, the rest of the work, please Yunyin."
Tsunade turned his head to the four generations
Thunder Shadow looked.
"Don't worry, Hokage, Turtle Island will soon be transferred out of the waters of the Land of Thunder. Coupled with the advanced equipment on the island, which has the function of automatically shielding chakra, it is not so easy for the enemy to lock the location of Turtle Island. And, just in case, isn't there still the white eyes of the Hyuga clan?"
The eyes of the four generations of Thunder Shadow swept towards Hinata and Ningji, although in the past, because of the disputes between countries, he was very hot for Konoha White, but now that the Hyuga clan's white eyes are used by the alliance, it will be a lot more reassuring in the field of reconnaissance.
He believed that with the various equipment and enchantments on Turtle Island, coupled with Konoha's white eyes, it would not be a simple matter for Akatsuki or Oni no Kuni to lock the location of Turtle Island. Even if you can find it, it will take a lot of time. By that time, they had already successfully transferred their human strength to other places.
"Okay, the Nine-Tails Kid will come with me, and the rest of the people will follow the arrangement and be responsible for guarding Turtle Island." The four generations of Thunder Shadow began to take over Tsunade's words and give orders to the people of Konoha.
"Let Tenzo follow, he's a Wood Ninja. If Naruto's Nine-Tails power goes berserk, his ninjutsu can be used to stifle it."
Tsunade raised his mouth at this point.
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow nodded and agreed. "Then you two come with me."
With that, the four generations of Thunder Shadow turned to leave, motioning for Tenzo and Naruto to follow.
Without hesitation, Tenzo and Naruto, who knew the mission of this trip, quickly followed the footsteps of the four generations of Thunder Shadow and walked towards the depths of the forest.
"Next, Kai, the Konoha ninja here will be handed over to you for the time being. Also, Sakai, I remember your ninjutsu, you can fly in the air, and you are in charge of monitoring the sky to prevent enemies from attacking from above. Although this turtle island can deal with enemies in the sea, if the enemy attacks from the air, the defense may be a little insufficient."
Tsunade groaned a little and arranged for the rest of the Konoha ninjas to work on Turtle Island. "Yes, Hokage-sama."
Kai Zheng nodded and led the remaining Konoha ninjas to meet with the Cloud Hidden Ninja on Turtle Island for a mission handover. "Here it is."
The four generations of Thunderkage led Tenzo and Naruto to the center of the forest and stopped in front of a waterfall.
And by the time the three of them arrived, one of them had already arrived first, and it was Kirabi.
He was now sitting cross-legged on a stone at the edge of the waterhole, picking up his pen and looking down to record something in his notebook, while his mouth was reciting words, and he entered a state of self-forgetfulness.
"This guy is ......"
Seeing Kirabi's sunglasses that were very different from ordinary people, Naruto's mood suddenly became a little delicate.
"I'm a musical genius~~I want to do better~~I'm an elite ninja~~I'm better than anyone else~~I'm destined to walk on the track of no one and become the most shining existence~~"
Listening to this strange tone, which could not be called a song at all, Naruto's body suddenly felt a chill and shivered, as if goosebumps were aroused by this strange tone.
"Uncle Thunder Shadow, don't tell me, the next person to guide my cultivation is this weird guy who sings strange songs." Naruto seemed to have some kind of anticipation.
"It's a pity, but it's true that this guy is going to guide you in the cultivation of the Perfect Human Pillar Force."
The four generations of Thunder Shadow ruthlessly shattered Naruto's illusions and told him the cruel truth.
"BESIDES, IT'S NOT A BALLAD, IT'S HIS OWN RAP, ALTHOUGH IT'S ALSO SELF-PROCLAIMED. No one can enjoy it but himself, and every time a concert is held, it can create a horrific scene in the village that is empty."
While shattering Naruto's illusions, the four generations of Thunder Shadow also showed no mercy in contempt for his younger brother's musical talent. "That can't be described as terrifying."
Tianzang couldn't help but sweat and complained.
Naruto took a deep breath, since he knew that Kirabi in front of him was a human pillar like himself, then, no matter what, let's get acquainted with it first.
So, Naruto took a step forward. "Well, I'm .....
"Someone greeted me, should I talk to him~~ If it's my choice, I'll turn around and ignore it~~" In response to Naruto, it was still Kirabi's rap with a strong self-personality.
Naruto finally understood what the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow meant by 'self-proclaimed', this kind of rap song, even if the record was released, he wouldn't be patronized.
This guy has no talent for this at all.
"I said, I don't have time to play with you here, I'm here to control the power of the Nine-Tails, please teach me how to control the power of the Tailed Beast. You should understand the power of the same people."
Naruto took a deep breath, bent down with his hands folded, interrupted Kirabi's singing in a sincere manner, and opened his mouth to plead.
Kirabi broke away from the rap state and craned her neck, her eyes under her sunglasses focused on Naruto. fell silent.
"Brother did ask me to do this, but if I didn't agree, no one would be able to make the decision for me." Kirabi replied.
"What do you mean?"
"Your attitude is not good, and even if we are both human pillars, our understanding of tailed beasts is completely different, are you really qualified for me to teach you?"
Kirabi's eyes under his sunglasses revealed a deep look of doubt.
"Of course, I already control the nine-tails to the four-tails, and even if it is the five-tailed state, I can barely control it." Naruto replied without hesitation.
"I heard that you have only been exposed to the real training of human pillar power, and it is indeed a remarkable act to develop the power of the tailed beast to this point in less than a year. But I said, your attitude is not good, so I'm not going to teach you."
"But I don't have any time to waste." "That's your business, it's none of my business."
Kirabi still responded coldly, unmoved.
"What? Do you know what time it is? There's going to be a big war soon, and I have to get stronger." Naruto said urgently.
"There's no point in just knowing how to get stronger. It's hard to imagine that you are the son of the yellow glitter, and you are so far from him."
"Damn!"
Naruto clenched his fists and tried to punch him, but eventually calmed down and his enthusiasm slowly cooled down.
"Brother, I'll go back to the dormitory and rest, and then call me over when the war starts. This little imp doesn't look like a big deal."
Kirabi stood up from the stone, didn't look at Naruto with his eyes, and left directly along the path.
Naruto didn't stop him, he just stared at Kirabi's back and didn't say a word, as if he wondered where he had provoked Kirabi.
"He's a strange man."
Tenzo said on the sidelines, even though he heard the conversation between Kirabi and Naruto, he didn't come forward to help Naruto, just watched from the sidelines.
"That's what he looks like, but he's really the best human pillar." The four generations of Thunder Shadow replied in a proud tone.
"But the two of them just met, and it doesn't seem to be very pleasant, is it really okay to go on like this, Lord Thunder Shadow?" Tenzo began to worry about this mission.
"If there is no way to overcome even this setback, then it will be impossible for Naruto to complete the cultivation of the Perfect Human Pillar Force. Than has his own set of methods, even I, there is no way to dissuade him. Believe him, the rest don't dare to say, but in the cultivation of human pillar power, in this world, no one is better than him. Than is the most suitable person for Naruto, Tsuri-sensei."
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said that he could not do anything.
He's not a human power, and no Kirabi has a say in that.
Tianzang had no choice but to nod silently, and the first meeting of the two people could be described as unhappy.
"The people have already been brought, and how to let Naruto train the rest is your business. I still have a lot of things to attend to at headquarters, so the Hokage and I will go back to headquarters first."
After the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow finished speaking, like Kirabi, he turned around and left directly without dragging his feet. ®
The land of ghosts.
because
The turbulence of the international situation, even if the country of ghosts with strong national strength, in this situation, the domestic atmosphere will inevitably add a bit of solemnity.
Moreover, because of this unstable international environment, businessmen did not want to risk their lives to trade, but waited for the international situation to calm down before considering the business matter.
However, this is just when the market of businessmen is starting to slump, and those arms dealers, who mainly sell arms, probably hope that such a chaotic situation can continue for a long time. Because the more such a situation is, the higher the benefits they can get.
A shadow clone was set up to take care of Ayane's condition, and Shiraishi, who was sitting in the office and dealing with the latest information, was able to see information sent from various regions, including about the Akatsuki organization, about the alliance of the five powers, and about the black market trends in the ninja world...... In short, as a result of the signs of war, there have been varying degrees of instability in various countries. And in order to compile such a large amount of intelligence information, the intelligence department is already in a state of high load.
Even if he knew this, Shiraishi had no better way but to temporarily replenish the intelligence department to avoid a situation where the intelligence department was overwhelmed.
"The black market.... Bounty Hunter ...... On the side of the alliance of the five powers, in order to increase their own combat effectiveness, they really spare no effort."
Shiraishi looked at the information sent by the Thunder Light Group, and there were currently more than ten known bounty hunter teams hired by the Five Great Powers Alliance. And this number is not completely fixed yet.
Over time, it's likely that the league will hire more teams of bounty hunters.
The team of bounty hunters who were hired first were all elites in the black market. In these teams, there are at least a few ninjas with upper ninja strength.
If the alliance of the five great powers spends a lot of money again and pulls people from the black market, it will most likely trade from the mid-level bounty hunters in the black market.
And if the power of these bounty hunters is concentrated, it is also a good force. If it is used to deal with the country of ghosts, it will be a little troublesome.
"It's necessary to suppress the black market, otherwise it will be tricky to huddle together."
Shiraishi looked at the information sent by the Thunder Light Regiment, which listed in detail the names of the bounty hunter team that had been hired by the Five Great Powers Alliance, and as long as he searched for it, he should be able to remove a few of them.
Not long after, there was a knock on the office door.
Before Shiraishi could speak, people outside had already walked in uninvited. There are only a few people in the entire Demon Country.
"Old man, do you have something to do with me?"
Yiji walked in without any dignity, and when she walked, she seemed to have a terrifying aura, and there were probably few people who could keep her calm under her direct gaze.
Shiraishi is one of them.
"There's a task for you, and the Thorn Team."
As Kazuhime's strength continues to grow stronger, Shiraishi already has plans to separate Kazuhime and the Thorn group for statistics.
Although nominally, Kazuhime is still the direct superior of the Thorn Group, but if he starts, most of them will have nothing to do without the people below. And if it is an opponent who Yiji finds troublesome, most of the thorn team members below will not help her much, but will be a burden.
"Oh?" Kazuhime was a little surprised, but quickly regained her composure, "I was asked to go out in person, is it a mission to find the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails Human Pillar Force?"
The alliance of the five great powers secretly hid the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails human pillars, and Ichiki had already heard of this. In addition to Xiao, the country of ghosts is also very interested in the whereabouts of the two people.
Although it is not necessary to attack, knowing where the strength of the human pillar is, there are more places to plan. Being prepared has always been Shiraishi's style of doing things.
"That's not necessary, Naruto Uzumaki and Kirabi are hiding on the cloudy Turtle Island... Well, the island is a bit hidden, and I sent the water dragon god to look around, but I couldn't find it. If Turtle Island is moved outside the waters of the Land of Thunder, it will be even more difficult to find. Let Xiao finish this kind of troublesome thing for us."
Shiraishi explained.
"Turtle Island? Is that legendary island that moves? I didn't think I'd put the human pillar force there."
"After all, Yun Yin is the only ninja village that has not rebelled against the ninja to join the Xiao Organization, and in this regard, the rest of the villages also trust Yun Yin's ability."
Although Yun Yin's style of acting is mainly domineering, Shiraishi also has to admit that there are many excellent things about this village. "Since it's not looking for human pillar power, what else is there to do?"
"The situation on the black market is a bit unstable, and I'm worried that the Xuan Ape crowd will not be able to deal with it. Moreover, recently, the Xuan apes reported to me that they seem to have been targeted by someone and have encountered a lot of trouble. Take the Thorns out on a trip to eliminate as many bounty hunters as possible from this list, and relieve the pressure on the apes. It just so happened that you came back from the Five Shadows Conference last time, and you asked me for a new chakra armor, so you can go directly to the treasury to get it."
Shiraishi provided a list.
Yiji took it, and the names recorded on it are all well-known bounty hunter teams, even if they are not from the black market, Yiji still has heard of these bounty hunter teams, which means that they are not ordinary goods.
Aside from her as the team leader, if only the rest of the Thorn Team were to be sent over, it would be very difficult to complete this task.
"In addition, according to the latest information I have received from here, in a week, the major shareholders of the black market will have an important meeting at the black market headquarters, and you will go there when you arrive."
Shiraishi added to the sentence.
"Black market headquarters? What to do there? Do you want to talk to them, old man?" Yiji raised his eyebrows.
"Of course not. Regardless of the group of bounty hunters, the major shareholders who are at the top of the black market and control the entire black market have always been very hostile to our ghost country. Most of them feel that we have taken control of the western part of the continent, and their interests and dignity have been seriously damaged."
Shiraishi said to himself.
This kind of thing is easy to understand, the existence of the black market is based on the underground employment platform that emerged in the era of one country and one village.
This platform was just a group of businessmen at the beginning, and it didn't have much power. However, as some dignitaries of the five major countries have also begun to use their national power to intervene, this market has become extremely terrifying. The major shareholders of the black market are only the spokespersons for the political leaders of the five major countries to push to the front of the stage, although they also represent their own interests, and many times they will not let the five major countries lead the way.
But most of the time, the will of this platform will still shift its position with the will of the five major powers. Especially at this time, they are easily coerced and lured by the five major powers, coupled with the fact that the Oni Country has cut off all their markets in the western part of the continent, and the various unpleasant conflicts that have occurred in the past, which means that the black market will be unfavorable to the Oni Country.
"Let me go over and stop their momentum against the Oni Country? Is that a warning?" Kazuki paused, not knowing Shiraishi's attitude.
"Nope."
Bai Shi's face was not shocked, and while faintly denying, a terrifying cold light was revealed in his eyes:
"It's not enough to restrain them, I don't think the whole black market needs to exist, the verbal warnings have no effect on them, and destroying them on a physical level is the safest thing to do. And now that time is limited, I don't have time to do additional negotiation work. I'll leave this matter to you."
"Is that so? It is indeed a good way to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. Don't worry, I'll give you a satisfactory answer in a week. I just don't know if there is a powerful ninja who can make my blood hot in the black market that has existed for so many years."
With anticipation, Kazuhime put the list in the pocket of her jacket and turned to leave the office.
