The humanoid monster on the paper does not seem to belong to this world, with a dog's head on its limbs and torso, and its body covered in rubber-like gray skin.

The whole painting is not completely finished, and the bottom half is still blank, but Sakai still uses his genius brushstrokes, understanding of composition, and use of shadows to depict the grotesque and disgusting evil of the monsters in this painting.

As if these weren't Sakai's rambling reveries, but some kind of creature that really existed!

Naruto's gaze finally looked away a little after staring at the monster in the painting for a long time, and he saw that there was still a lot of drawing paper behind the painting.

And it seems that the same things are depicted on these pieces of paper using a lot of shadows.

Curiosity drove Naruto to slowly reach for the corner of the paper, wanting to uncover the top piece of paper and get a glimpse of what's below.

But just then, a hilt reached out from the side and pressed against the paper, blocking Naruto's further movements.

"Isn't it okay to enter someone's home without their permission and look through their paintings at will?"

Sakai Xing's cold voice sounded from the side, and Naruto immediately retracted his hand in a curt.

Sakai stepped forward, picked up a white cloth from the low table and put it on the easel, and asked, "Do you have something to do with my house?" ”

"If there's nothing special, I'll sue you for harassment."

Sakai set aside some of the groceries he had just bought, his eyes fixed on Naruto, but out of the corner of his eye, he had been staring at the stack of paintings on the easel.

Ever since dealing with the ghoul incident, Sakai's brain has been reminded of the existence of those humanoid monsters from time to time.

Although Sakai was sure that he was definitely not as mad as the artist who was good at depicting taboos, he couldn't help but want to depict those monsters on paper.

Not only that, but Sakai also plans to use the image of the ghoul in his ninjutsu super beast pseudo-painting.

Sakai's pseudo-painting of the superbeast is actually the use of chakra to visualize the ink on the scroll, and the embodiment of the animal depends entirely on Sakai's will.

In other words, even if it is a monster like a ghoul that should not exist in this world, it is completely okay for Sakai!

Did Naruto see those paintings of mine?

Will he think I'm a freak because of those paintings?

Sakai's brain was thinking about things like that, but Naruto was actually very nervous, and he had forgotten about the monster in the painting for a long time.

Making up a reason to fool the void door in the past is Naruto's main concern.

"I..."

"I'll come..."

"Yes, because..."

Just then, a voice appeared outside the window.

"Sakai! There are tasks! ”

The two people in the room looked back and saw that it was Sakura.

Sakura was also a little surprised to see Naruto in the house, and wondered, "Naruto, why are you at Sakai's house?" ”

At this time, Naruto also had an idea, and suddenly said, "Ah! That's right! I'm here to inform Sakai that you have a mission! ”

"Let's go!"

Naruto quickly slipped out of the window and rushed towards the Hokage building.

Sakura, on the other hand, looked at Naruto's back in the distance, and was very puzzled.

How did Naruto know there was a mission?

...

Coming to the door of the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building, the three people of the seventh class pushed the door and walked in, and the temporary head of the seventh class, Shinobu Yamato, was already standing.

"You got all the people so quickly?"

Tsunade was a little surprised by Sakura's speed, but in fact, Sakura only ran to one location and found both of them.

However, Tsunade didn't continue to ask too much, and said directly: "At the request of the alliance Sha Yin, we have to assist in the pursuit of the traitor of Sha Yin Village, Baizu." ”

"Hundred-footed?"

All three of them had some doubts about the danger of this little-known ninja, after all, the traitorous ninja who needed to ask the alliance ninja village to capture would usually be the famous S-class rebel ninja.

"Hmm." Tsunade nodded and said, "The location of this mission is the ancient city of Loulan. ”

"The ancient city of Loulan is located in the desert of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, and this ancient city was a city that was more prosperous than Konoha Village a few decades ago."

"The establishment of a huge city in a barren desert area relies on the existence of a dragon vein containing great energy under the ancient city."

"Because the energy of the dragon vein is too dangerous, the fourth generation Hokage sealed the dragon vein twenty years ago."

"But half a month ago, the Shangnin Baizu of Shayin Village didn't know how to suddenly get a way to unlock the underground dragon vein seal of the ancient city of Loulan."

"Now Baizu is rushing to Loulan Ancient City in order to seize the energy of the underground dragon vein in Loulan Ancient City, and the ninjas of Shayin Village have no time to stop it, so we can only intercept it by our ninjas in Konoha."

"So your task is to desperately defend the sealing technique left by the four generations of Hokage!"

Tsunade's order was concise and to the point, and the four members of the seventh squad quickly set off after receiving the task.

And the folding mirror looked at the figure of the seventh class leaving the village, and also smiled meaningfully.

...

At the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, for many years there has been a desert area that does not belong to any country.

This area of the lawless was once home to many cities, such as the empty area, which was mainly characterized by black market trading, and the once extremely prosperous ancient city of Loulan.

But now everything here is barren and dilapidated, and the relentless yellow sand has swallowed almost everything here.

Now only a handful of people are still stuck in the empty area, trading weapons and forbearance.

As for the ancient city of Loulan, it is even more empty, and it is said that there should only be a ruin left.

Under the leadership of Yamato, the members of the seventh class wore cloaks and quickly advanced towards a certain location in the desert sky.

Finally, in the distance, where there was some light and some light, the outline of a building ruins in the desert appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"It should be Loulan there."

Yamato is not too sure, after all, Yamato has never been to the ancient city of Loulan, but he once heard his predecessor Kakashi talk about the existence of the ancient city of Loulan.

"Just check it out?"

Naruto was a man of action, and he went straight in the direction of the ruins, and everyone had no choice but to follow.

With Naruto running at full speed, Naruto was the first to rush into the ruins, his eyes immediately drawn to the sight around him.

Although it is now completely dilapidated, the megaliths left behind by the collapse of these buildings show how bustling the city buildings and streets once were.

At least the buildings of Konoha Village will never need these boulder bricks that are more than one person high.

As Naruto walked down the street in the middle of the city, a series of sounds of broken masonry approached Naruto from a distance.
