"That's Turtle Island."

His body emerged from the sea, and the oni shark's clothes were already soaked, but he looked at the 'moving fortress' on the sea in front of him with a pair of squinted eyes.

Although most of it is covered in rocks and mud, you can still see a giant sea turtle moving around the artificial island.

"It's the first time I've seen it, but it's a bit foul with this size. I heard that this turtle is still ...... juvenile."

Thinking about it, it is likely that this turtle will grow even bigger in the future and become a real sea fortress.

However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the ghost shark, his mission is to anchor the location of Turtle Island, and if you want to complete this task, you must contact Turtle Island itself.

Just as he was about to move forward, the sea in front of him suddenly fluctuated, and the waves suddenly rose and fell, squeezing towards where he was.

With such a thick wall of water, if it falls directly on the human body, even a ghost shark cannot guarantee that it will be unharmed.

As the waves moved, there was also the sound of footsteps stepping on the water, which vaguely reached the ears of the ghost shark.

There is no doubt that his whereabouts were exposed.

"Water Escape, Water Array Wall!"

He created a wall of water and collided with the waves squeezing against him in front of him, resisting it, and barely restoring calm to the sea.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

Two voices from the left and right, a large and a small green figure, swept from both sides of the ghost shark with leg strikes.

The powerful leg blow, while roaring, caused a piercing sound of breaking the air.

The ghost shark dodged away, and with his hands sealed, he stepped back.

"Gossip Empty Palm!"

Behind it, the condensed air forms an air cannonball, which hits the back of the ghost shark.

In the sky, there were countless shurikens and kunai shooting down like a meteor shower, completely blocking all the retreats of the ghost shark.

The ghost shark was in danger, and the seal was completed in time.

"Water Escape, Water Prison Technique!"

A stream of water erupted from the mouth, instantly forming a ball of water that enveloped itself.

The air cannonball bombarded the water balloon, causing only a slight fluctuation in the water flow inside the water balloon, which was perfectly discharged.

And the kunai and shuriken that flew from it, before they were halfway in, they lost the strength to advance, and they were all resisted by the heavy chakra and water pressure in the water balloon.

The oni shark unlocked the water prison technique, and the kunai and shuriken that were originally inserted in the water balloon suddenly fell into the sea water and immersed themselves.

"What, it turned out to be you, a precious beast, this mission, it seems that it is not so easy to complete. I hate fighting speed ninjas the most. ”

The ghost shark grinned with sharp teeth, like a bloodthirsty shark, and grinned hideously.

Ahead, Kai and Li intercepted, putting on exactly the same parry, not only the same moves, but also the hairstyle and clothing were the same, but one zoomed in and the other shrunk.

In the rear, Ning Ci, who lowered his arms but secretly condensed Chakra in his palm, had already told others that as long as the ghost shark made a slight move, he would take corresponding actions to stop the other party.

On the right is the only woman in the team, Tian Tian, holding a scroll that has revealed a small piece of paper, with chakra fluctuations flowing on it, and can summon a large number of ninja equipment anytime and anywhere for remote blockade.

"Don't think about it, stay here honestly and don't move."

Kai squinted his eyes with a dangerous glow.

There are two human pillars on Turtle Island, and there must be no accidents.

Therefore, in the face of an extremely dangerous ninja like the oni shark, all members of Kai's team paid attention to it.

"That's not going to work, my mission is to find the human pillar force, if I can, I want to go to the island and have a look."

The ghost shark and Kai talked to each other, and they were also secretly mobilizing Chakra.

However, his act of secretly mobilizing Chakra could not hide from Ning Ci, who had white eyes.

The see-through ability possessed by the white eye can directly look at the meridian system inside the human body, and the prelude to the ghost shark's operation has long been exposed.

"Don't try to get your way!"

Although he didn't know what spell the ghost shark planned to cast, Ning Ji would not let the ghost shark successfully cast the spell.

So, with the roar of the air, Ning Cifei flashed behind the ghost shark and waved his arm heavily.

As if he had eyes on his back, the ghost shark flashed sideways, maybe this was the moment he was waiting for.

Because he knew that Chakra's transfer could not be concealed, he deliberately used this to lure Ning Ci to attack.

The big sword shark muscle then swept out.

Ning Ci bent down and rolled out in embarrassment.

But suddenly I felt a wave of weakness in my body, and although I was not directly touched by the shark muscles, Chakra was still swallowed a little.

"Ningci!"

The other three also moved one after another, preparing to intercept the ghost shark.

The ghost shark grinned, and with a flick of his arm, the shark muscles flew out like a whirlwind.

Such an act of abandoning weapons surprised everyone.

"Fog Concealment Technique!"

The thick fog for no reason, in the blink of an eye, swallowed the entire sea area, turning this place into a white world.

Kai's ears moved, and the sound of whirling came from behind, and he didn't want to jump to the side, dodging the attack of the shark muscles that flew back.

Didn't hit Kai, which made it a bit of a pity for the ghost shark.

Reach out and let the shark muscle fall back into your hand.

Time is pressing, and the ghost shark has no kung fu to play with the people of Kai's team, and his goal is Turtle Island, not to fight these people.

The priority of the mission, the ghost shark has always remembered it very clearly.

And with the help of the Fog Concealment Technique, the people of Kai's team can be somewhat hindered in their vision.

After all, the dense fog created by the Fog Concealment Technique is essentially chakra, and ordinary strong winds can't blow it away.

And this kind of technique, even the Uchiha clan's writing wheel eye can be blocked.

However – this does not include the white eye.

Sure enough, a figure quickly rushed out of the dense fog in front of him, it was Ning Ci.

As long as the perspective ability of the white eye is still there, then this kind of ninjutsu that obscures the field of vision is useless and cannot play any interfering role.

Seeing this, the ghost shark also understood that this technique was ineffective against the white eye, so he held the shark muscle with both hands, raised it high, and then slashed it with brute force.

Ning Ci didn't dare to use his hands to make a hard connection, but the chakra of his whole body was already ready to go.

"Back to heaven!"

In the blink of an eye, a chakra storm centered on Ning Ci swept around, and the chakra released from the outside formed a substantial energy, wrapping a chakra ball that was spinning at high speed outside Ning Ci's body.

Rumble!

The shark muscle slashed at the surface of the chakra ball, and immediately the two terrifying forces that repelled each other did not admit defeat.

Even the ghost shark with huge self-lining power felt a tingling in his arm, and the powerful shock feedback made his body shake.

But he withstood the backlash brought by Huitian, and the corners of his mouth cracked wider, revealing a hideous color.

Huitian's defense is extremely strong, but it needs chakra to maintain.

And the shark muscles in his hands are the last thing he is afraid of is the ninjutsu or body art with miscellaneous chakra.

In the blink of an eye, although the rotation speed of the chakra ball was as fast, the chakra on the outer layer seemed to be diluted countless times in an instant, and even the figure of Ning Ci inside could be clearly seen.

The ghost shark struggled to lift the shark muscles and swung it down with all his might.

Seeing this scene, Ning Ci's eyes flashed, but he did not show timidity, but secretly gathered Chakra in the palm of his right hand.

"Thunder Escape Thunder Illusion Pillar of Light!"

Faster than the ghost shark moved, it was a strong thunder that suddenly bloomed in the thick fog.

In a trance, the ghost shark seemed to see the scene of himself being covered in scaly wounds and dying and seriously injured.

But this trance only lasted for a very short time, and it was broken free by the ghost shark.

"Gossip Empty Palm!"

Ning Ci seized this moment of air attack, and the power of his palm was compressed into a cannonball and launched out.

The body of the ghost shark flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, and rolled on the surface of the sea, about a dozen times before it could stop.

But the ghost shark stood up steadily like a nobody, his eyes first swept over Ning Ci, and then swept towards the depths of the dense fog.

Not just the rest of Kai's team, but also the three newcomers.

can vaguely see that they are wearing the dark uniforms of the Cloud Hidden Ninja, and most of them are elite ninjas at the captain level of the dark part.

"Be careful, this guy is a ninja who has forced the completely tailed beast-sama Kirabi to a desperate situation, so don't be careless."

One of them spoke in the dark.

The tone was full of jealousy and solemnity.

Although in the previous battle, it seemed that their side had the upper hand a little, but everyone knew that the ghost shark had not really gained strength yet.

can push the completely tailed beast of Kirabi to a desperate situation, and the ghost shark is by no means just the strength on the surface.

As for the ability of the tailless beast mentioned in the intelligence, the oni shark has not yet been demonstrated.

"Wind Escape: Great Breakthrough!"

At this moment, another cloud shadow part, after the seal, spat out a storm from his mouth in an instant, blowing away the dense fog around him, revealing the clear sea and sky.

There was a hint of caution in the ghost shark's eyes.

The Fog Concealment Technique he cast, there is no way to crack the ordinary Wind Escape Ninjutsu.

The Great Breakthrough of Wind Escape is just a simple basic Wind Escape, but in the hands of this dark department, it can be understated, turning decay into magic and blowing away the dense fog he created, which is obviously not a problem of Wind Escape.

It's these clouds and shadows, and their strength is not trivial.

Although he couldn't see their lineup clearly due to the mask covering, his name was also famous on the black market's bounty roster.

And this is only a part of the strength of Turtle Island, and Oni Shark believes that there are still many elite troops of the Alliance Army stationed on Turtle Island.

At this time, it is not a rational thing to fight hard.

"This time, I admit it, it seems that I don't think about it...... So, can it end peacefully now? ”

The ghost shark quietly put down the shark muscle and began to show weakness.

Neither the Kai team nor the three Yunyin Shadow Upper Ninja opened their mouths to respond, but just glared at him with cold eyes.

"Looks like there's no need to talk about it......"

The ghost shark sighed, put the shark muscle behind his back, and the chakra in his body began to agitate.

Even the temperature of the air has dropped a few points.

"Stop him!"

With the order of a cloud shadow minister, everyone moved in response, and all the staff rushed forward.

The ghost shark grinned, and the sides of its cheeks were puffed up even higher, like a water balloon about to burst.

"Water escape, burst water and rush waves!"

Crash!

The chakra that gathered in its mouth immediately turned into a rolling flood and spat out from the mouth of the ghost shark.

The terrifying and staggering amount of water formed an overwhelming tsunami, and the shadows directly swallowed the ninjas of Konoha and Yunyin.

Such a scene suddenly made the hearts of everyone who faced it tremble.

"Water Escape, Thousand Eaters!"

The oni shark, which didn't seem to be a big deal, stood at the top of the water wall, looked at the ant-sized wooden leaves and cloud hidden people below, and cast the spell again.

In the midst of the surging tsunami, sharks immediately poked their heads out and charged forward with the tsunami.

"Oops!"

A Yunyin Shadow Shinobi seemed to sense something, and looked back, where Turtle Island was located.

With the scale of this tsunami, it was enough to cover the location of Turtle Island, where chaos would be caused.

"Door open!"

Kai, who is also aware of the problem, takes action.

In an instant, he opened the Eight Gates Dunjia to the Seventh Gate, and his whole body was filled with brilliant blue steam, facing the terrifying tsunami in front of him with his flesh and blood.

Rumble!

Kai punched a huge hole in the tsunami-formed wall of water, and nearby sharks were strangled into a current that collapsed.

However, there are many more sharks, surging forward with the tsunami.

The rest of Kai's team, as well as Yun Yin's shadows, also rushed forward, using their modest efforts to stop the tsunami from approaching Turtle Island, and fought against the sharks swept by the tsunami.

……

The originally flat and stable sea area near Turtle Island immediately swelled with terrifying waves, fiercely slapping the buildings on Turtle Island, increasing the burden on the turtles, causing the turtles holding the island to let out a resentful snort.

There are even sharks, which have slipped through the net on the front line, frantically biting turtles.

Although this pain is like a mosquito bite, it still makes the turtle feel depressed.

Fortunately, these sharks were quickly strangled by the Cloud Hidden Ninja who rushed down.

As a commander, Tutai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he looked at the movement in front of him that was gradually calming down, knowing that the battle in front was over.

"The fog hidden monster is a persimmon ghost shark, one of the seven ninja swords, what a monster."

Tutai muttered, sighing with emotion.

The ninjas gathered in the Akatsuki organization are trickier than the other.

Dealing with such a ninja is not possible at all.

"Any more anomalous chakra reactions?"

Tsuchidai asked the Cloud Hidden Ninja next to him.

"It's been cleared."

The Cloud Hidden Ninja replied.

"Let's go, we can't stay here anymore."

Tutai nodded and turned to leave.

……

In the transparent and bright space, it is completely different from the scene of the past, there is no such darkness and gloom, as if everything can be seen clearly.

Walking in the water prison, Naruto knew that it was because he was looking at things from a new perspective, so the scene here would be different from the past.

- Naruto, can you hear me?

Kirabi's voice rang out.

- Hear me clearly, Uncle Kirabi.

Naruto was responding.

- Really? It seems to have succeeded. Listen, Naruto, tailed beasts are different from ordinary creatures. No matter which tailed beast it is, it is a dense dark ensemble. They are the embodiment of negative energy, so even if you pass the inner level, you can't be careless, and you can't waver in the face of darkness, otherwise you will be assimilated by the darkness of the Nine-Tails.

As a person who has come over, Kirabi knows very well what a terrifying thing it is to fight the human pillar force and the tailed beast.

Ordinary people and tailed beasts fight, but they fight each other with strength.

However, the human pillar force not only has to compete with the tailed beast in terms of strength, but also cannot be affected by the darkness of the tailed beast.

Otherwise, it will be swallowed by the darkness of the tailed beast and become the nourishment for the growth of the tailed beast.

- If you fail, then, I will use the special power of the outside space to suppress the Nine-Tails, and wait for Konoha to choose a new human pillar force. So, don't lose, Naruto.

Kirabi's eerie rap tone is gone, replaced by an immense solemnity.

He could feel that the oppressive force of the Nine-Tails was much stronger than the Eight-Tails in his body.

Kirabi knew that Yao had explained the problem.

The Nine-Tails is the existence closest to the Ten Tails, with part of the origin of the Ten Tails, if you want to become the human pillar power of the Nine-Tails, you must have a strong enough vitality, preferably a descendant of the Six Dao Immortals, to be able to withstand the Chakra of the Nine-Tails.

Therefore, when fighting the Nine-Tails, it is more dangerous than fighting any tailed beast.

Naruto listened carefully, although he was confident in himself now, but the thought of the existence of the Nine-Tails that transcended common sense made him feel uneasy.

Naruto stepped forward, the passage of the water dungeon was a diameter, and through the narrow passageway, there was a large, empty pale space, and in front of him was a fence made of iron bars.

In the very center of the fence door, a 'seal' character spell is firmly attached to it.

On the inside of the iron bar, you can clearly see that it is an orange-red fox as big as a small mountain, grinning at him, showing white fangs, and nine tails like giant pythons, which are shaking behind the nine-tailed fox with a unique pattern.

It saw Naruto coming, narrowing a pair of beast eyes that glowed red.

"It's you, Naruto...... Where have you really been? Why didn't I see him? ”

There seems something strange about the Nine-Tails.

Where did that 'shadowy' part of Naruto's heart go?

Oppressed by the villagers, betrayed by his peers, and resentful because of his own powerlessness...... Where did it go?

The Nine-Tails didn't think Naruto would be able to eliminate those things.

That's something that humans are born with.

If you want to destroy the darkness, there is only one way to destroy humanity itself.

Naruto is still alive, then, the darkness inside him will not disappear.

However, I can't feel it.

Naruto stared directly at the Nine-Tails' almost irrational beast eyes, and there was no fear.

"Do you know him?"

"The old man is the embodiment of resentment. The darkness of the human heart cannot hide from the eyes of the old man. Answer me, the real you...... Where is it? ”

Nine-Tails' deep voice rang out.

"Who knows, maybe...... He doesn't want to see you. ”

A mocking smile appeared on Naruto's face, and under the surprised gaze of the Nine-Tails, Naruto lifted his clothes, revealing his abdomen.

The Bagua-like seal formed by the double four-elephant seal, and its incantation emerges.

"What are you doing!?"

When the Nine-Tails saw the seal, they suddenly became sensitive.

An uneasy agitation filled its chest.

"Show me honestly!"

Naruto stretched out his right arm, his teeth gritting at the corners of his rolled-up clothes, and his left hand wiped the sleeve of his right arm, revealing his entire arm.

Pitch-black incantations appeared on his arms, and symbols resembling the shape of the sun appeared in his palms.

Under the stunned gaze of the Nine-Tails, Naruto touched his right hand towards the exposed abdomen and pressed it heavily on the gossip seal at his navel.

Press your palms down your navel and turn.

Click!

Click!

The sound is endless.

It was as if the mechanism was turned on, and something was opened.

At the same time, the word 'sealed' spell on the iron bar burned and turned to ashes.

The moment the sense of restraint disappeared, the Nine-Tails immediately understood what was going on.

Naruto is unraveling the seal that suppressed it.

Rumble!

Without hesitation, not even a hint of hesitation, the Nine-Tails stretched out its blade-like claws and blasted away the huge iron bar in front of him, and the red demonic chakra, like an abyss like the sea, erupted from the Nine-Tails' body, turning into substance and rushing towards Naruto.

"Hmm-"

Naruto, who was drunk in front of him, immediately felt his body sink.

The pressure of such a huge chakra made him almost suffocate.

At the same time, the part of the chakra used to suppress the Nine-Tails, Naruto also recovered, and no longer had to deliberately cooperate with the sealing technique to suppress the Nine-Tails, so that he could return to his full state.

"Although the old man doesn't know what you're going to do, you're dying now!"

The nine-tails roared loudly and happily, as thick as the tail of a giant python, sweeping in all directions, shaking out obvious ripples in the air.

"Death to the old man, Naruto!"

In the midst of the roar, the Nine-Tails swung his arms with humiliating hatred and murderous aura, intending to tear Naruto to pieces with blade-like claws.

Suddenly, in the ripples of the shaking air, tentacles full of suction cups poked out of the void, like ropes wrapped around the Nine-Tails' body, completely tightening its arms and body, making it impossible for it to move freely.

The Nine-Tails felt this extremely familiar, the power of the same source as himself, and his hideous face showed a look of annoyance.

"Cow ghost, you bastard, you actually help humans deal with old man! Have you fallen? ”

Although he has not seen the Eight-Tails for many years, this power is extremely familiar to the Nine-Tails.

Except for the Eight Tails, no one else can use it.

In the dungeon, the Nine-Tails roared unwillingly and angrily.

◎

The land of ghosts.

On Shiraishi's desk were two letters from the headquarters of the Union Army.

Shiraishi opened the first letter.

Undoubtedly, the time of the start of the war is indicated on it.

"How?"

Ruri, who was sitting on the sofa in the office, crossed her legs and looked at Shiraishi.

Ayane, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, asked Shiraishi with the same gaze.

Over time, the pre-war preparations of the Union Army, already in its final stages.

And judging from the timing of the sending of the war letter, the actions of the coalition army were faster than expected.

The population in the war zone has also been transferred accordingly.

As for whether there is any leftovers in it, it is unknown on the side of the Oni Country.

Migration of the theater of operations, as long as it is the work of the Union Army. The Oni Country is only responsible for the transfer of population within its own country and within the Allies.

In this regard, Xiao is the same, they only focus on the population of the Land of Rain.

"The time for the war is tomorrow morning, the moment the sun rises."

Shiraishi put down the battle book and explained the time of the war in a concise and concise manner, and his expression was extremely flat.

This is not unexpected, and in the time guessed by the Oni Country, it is also within two days.

After all, it is not good for either party to blindly drag on time.

It is already mid-October, and it is likely that it will be fought in winter.

Winters in most areas of the theater are extremely cold.

The Confederates are keen to end the war before winter.

With such a large ninja army, the supply of materials is a great problem.

In this regard, the same is true of the country of ghosts.

Only the artificial white soldiers used by Xiao do not have such concerns.

Bai never needs to eat, he doesn't need to rest, he only needs to absorb chakra and drink some water to complete his survival needs, and he works hard and is not afraid of life and death.

Simply the perfect soldier.

Ruri and Ayane glanced at each other, then separated.

Shiraishi then picked up the second letter.

Unlike the first letter of war, this is an alliance letter.

The Alliance hopes to unite with the Oni no Kuni to eliminate Akatsuki and solve the crisis of the world's extinction, and then they will fight to the death to decide who is the dominant position in the ninja world.

After all, whether it is the victory of the coalition army or the victory of the country of ghosts, it can be regarded as a contradiction between countries.

The nature of Xiao is different, and the existence of infinite moon reading threatens all mankind.

Even though the alliance army is afraid of the power of the Oni Country, they think that Akatsuki is more harmful than the Oni Country.

This, of course, is the reason given by the Union Army.

For the sake of peace in the ninja world and to prevent all mankind from being enslaved by the infinite moon reading, Akatsuki must be destroyed.

Shiraishi thinks there is a second reason.

That's the tailed beast in Xiao's hand.

They want to recapture the tailed beasts and continue to arm themselves. In the decisive battle against the country of ghosts, the power of these tailed beasts can play a key role.

However, this reason could not have been mentioned by the Union forces in the letter.

Of course, the Oni Country also did the same thing, seeking those tailed beasts.

The system established by the original Hokage has already shown serious rifts, and the strategy of separating the Tailed Beasts in the hope of international balance has also become nonsense.

The current tailed beasts are all virtuous people.

"It seems that the seeds planted at the Five Shadows Conference have begun to sprout as expected, and it is naturally indispensable for the secret assistance of Wu Yin to push the alliance to the forefront. Are the troops assembled? ”

"Now it's just an order."

"So...... Let's go. Travel to this final battlefield. ”

With a light smile on his face, Shiraishi stood up and grabbed the white coat on the side and draped it over his body.

A blue flame of the same color as the chakra burned in the palm of his hand, and the ashes left behind by the letter paper dissipated quietly in the air.
