An inn in a town on the border of the Fire Nation.

"Naruto, Ninji." Sakura saw the two of them, and her pretty face immediately turned cloudy.

"You're back! None of them hurt, right? ”

Ning Ci shook his head slightly.

"I'm fine." Naruto looked at his shadow clone, "Well, you haven't encountered any enemies during this time, have you?" ”

The shadow clone shook his head, made a few marks, and disappeared in place.

After a brief moment of the information transmitted by the shadow clone, Naruto looked at the two of them.

"Okay, this mission is also successfully completed, without further ado, let's leave for the return journey now."

"Are you in a hurry this time?" Sakura was stunned.

"There are some things that you have to tell Grandma Tsunade right away." Naruto said.

"Ningji, Sakura's leg is injured, and you are responsible for carrying her."

"Got it." Ning Ci nodded.

Sakura looked at Naruto in surprise, if it had been before, Naruto should have rushed to carry himself, right?

Naruto asked suspiciously, "Sakura-chan, is there anything else?" ”

"It's fine." Sakura's cheeks flushed, what was she thinking just now!

The three of them came to the room of the team leader He Yan and explained the situation.

“…… That's the case, I wish you a prosperous business! ”

He Yan nodded slightly, although he was dissatisfied with the fact that the three of them failed to bring back the ferret, he also understood that this was not someone's task in the first place.

"I see."

After seeing the three of them leave, He Yan returned to his room.

"Do you think the person they just said about the ferret being a descendant of the royal family?" In the room, an old man of his same grade asked.

"Alas!" He Yan shook his head slightly, "So what?" Isn't it? ”

"We don't owe them anything."

"But ......," the old man stopped.

"According to the agreement of the year, in order to prevent the royal family from continuing to abuse the power of the Grell Stone, they handed over the sealing site of the Grell Stone vein to us."

He Yan walked over to the old man and sat down, "This decision was made by the royal family themselves, since they gave up the Grell Stone, why should we bother?" ”

"According to what the Konoha ninja said just now, among the descendants of the royal family, there are people who have set their sights on the Grell Stone vein." The old man sighed slightly.

"They're going to come to the door."

"I ...... naturally"

Bang bang!

Just then, there were two knocks at the door.

"Who?" Although He Yan wondered if someone would come to him at this time, he still got up and opened the door.

Beyond the portal, stood a man with long hair and a shawl, cold white skin, and snake-eyed eyes.

"You are?" He Yan thought for a moment and confirmed that he had never seen this person.

"Can you tell me about the Greel's Stone Vein?" Orochimaru asked softly.

He Yan's pupils shrank, but immediately after, he felt a faint spin.

Tayuya put down the flute on the side of his mouth, "Orochimaru-sama, it's okay." ”

"Who are you?!" The old man in the room saw this scene and scolded angrily.

But as soon as the words fell, a spider silk shot out of Oni Tong Maru's mouth, binding him directly into a ball.

Behind Orochimaru's group, Izumi Shinyu, who was dressed in black robes, touched his chin.

After receiving the information from the main body, Orochimaru realized that the Stone of Grell might become a breakthrough point in his research.

directly launched all the intelligence networks, and in just a few hours, the relationship between the mysterious empire and He Yan's caravan was clarified.

Let's get off the book

In order to avoid accidents, Orochimaru directly rushed from the country of Tian with the four people of Otoshinobi.

What happened later was the scene in front of me.

After asking for the address of the vein's seal, Orochimaru turned his head to look at him.

"Mr. Traveler, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Nope."

The moment his words fell, He Yan's aged figure fell directly to the ground.

"Let's go."

……

……

Hokage Building.

After Izumi handed in a paper report as usual, he gave a concise oral report to Tsunade.

"In other words, you've met several strange ninjas who can transform?" Tsunade crossed his hands against his chin.

"What do you think? Do you think they're bloodstained ninjas? Or is it some kind of test subject? ”

"It's not quite like that." Izumi Xinyou shook his head slightly.

"Of course, if I had to choose one of the two, I think the test subject would be more appropriate."

"Because the energy they use is a little different from chakra."

"Oh." Tsunade's face was slightly surprised, "Tell me what you think?" ”

"My opinion?" Izumi Xinyu scratched his head, "It just feels weird." ”

"Hoo ......"

Tsunade pinched his eyebrows lightly and waved his hand at him, "You go back first." ”

"Okay."

Izumi Shinyu returned to the room, took out a bottle of scarlet blood, poured a little on the scroll, and after forming a few seals, re-channeled the white snake.

As soon as the white snake came out, he spit out a bottle containing a note.

Izumi Shinyu took out the note, and after browsing it, he destroyed the paper directly.

The content of the paper is simple, there is only one address.

"You go back first." Izumi Shinyu said to the White Snake.

The white snake spat out the snake hyacinth, nodded, and disappeared in place as a cloud of smoke.

"Hoo ......"

Izumi Xinyou reluctantly got up, separated into a shadow clone, and he disappeared in place with the traveler.

Ruins of the Stone Vein of Greer.

When Orochimaru and the others arrived, someone had already found this place first.

If Naruto had been here, he would have been instantly recognizable, and two of the three were Hyde and Timosey who had disappeared into the explosion.

Beside them, there was also a knight with a sturdy body and armor.

"Inside the wind, deal with them." Hyde, who had been searching for a long time and had not been able to find the way to enter the ruins, saw Orochimaru and the others, and impatiently commanded the male knight on the side.

Although he didn't know what the reason for these people to appear here, who made these people unlucky when they happened to run into his anger.

Orochimaru directly ignored his presence and walked straight to the ruins.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Kazunai's mouth outlined a cruel smile, "Die!" ”

"Lord Hyde!" When Timosi saw this, he looked at him in shock.

"This is a necessary sacrifice on the way to building an ideal country." Hyde explained impatiently.

Most of his years of hard work have been directly destroyed by others, and he no longer has the idea of disguising himself.

But I don't know if it was because of my own efforts that I moved the heavens and let myself find the location of the ruins.

"But......" Timosey always felt that something was wrong.

But after years of being indoctrinated by Hyde with a false worldview, he could not find anything to refute.

"Scum!" Jirobo's huge body stood in front of the wind, and he clasped his hands together and slammed them into his face.

Touch!

The powerful force directly shattered the bones in Kanuchi's face.

The arrogant smile in the wind froze directly and instantly.

"What?!"

The contrast was so great that Timothy called out.
