In the evening, the shadow of the moon can already be glimpsed in the deep cave-like clouds on the horizon.

Hatsuya led the tracking team to just cross the border of Kawanokuni, intending to camp in the nearby woods for a rest.

In fact, the other three ninjas in the team did not approve of casually stopping during the tracking mission, which would easily lead to losing the target.

But because only Hatsuya knew where the target was going, and she promised not to lose it, the rest of the team reluctantly agreed to stop and rest for a while.

The smell of blood wafted through the air, as if a massacre had just been experienced not far away.

At the right time, Hatsuya pretended that she was going to catch a few fish and come back to eat, leaving the sight of the other three.

She was already a little sleepy.

I don't know when it started.,Hatsuya will always be inexplicably sleepy.,And when she wakes up, she will inexplicably appear elsewhere.。

At first, she thought she had narcolepsy and sleepwalking at the same time, but later she realized that it was not the case at all.

Soon, as her eyelids seemed to be weighed down by several boulders, Hatsuya couldn't resist closing her eyes and lying down in a bush.

“......”

Yikes! Yikes!

At that moment, an outrageously large crow rested on a tree trunk not far away, tilting its head to look at Hatsuya in the bushes.

A moment later, the crow flapped its wings and flew to hover above Hatsuya.

Yikes! Yikes!

The crow's cloudy pupils reflected Hatsuya's ruddy face, and suddenly, it spread its wings and slipped down from the sky, its sharp beak pointed straight at Hatsuya's closed right eye!

Burst!

In the next second, the crow was pierced through its body by a thick tree trunk that suddenly appeared.

And the right eye it was staring at was now open, bright red as blood.

Hatsuya sat up slowly, her eyes full of soft light before, but now they were as sharp as a blade.

"Are you out of the village already......

Hatsuya casually looked around and muttered to herself.

Then, she stood up, raised her hand and waved, and the crow, which was still twitching slightly, exploded instantly, and black blood splattered everywhere.

Rustle –

Soon, at the moment of the crow's explosion, the shrub that twisted and extended out to block the blood for Hatsuya slowly shrank back, like a well-trained knight.

Through the surrounding trees, Hatsuya's perception quickly expanded, and soon locked on to the three team members who were stationed not far away.

"Forgive me...... Younger sister. ”

Suddenly, Hatsuya's gaze became cold, like a lake frozen in an instant.

"Only then can we live."

......

The next day, the scorching sun shone on the village, as if a thick blanket had been covered on it.

"If it's fast, Konoha's support should be coming."

At the entrance of Sand Hidden Village, two Ninjas of Sand Hide whispered to each other.

"Because of yesterday's storm, even our own people couldn't have arrived so quickly."

At that moment, one of the ninjas looked at the desert in the distance and suddenly widened his eyes.

"Hey, that's ......"

Another ninja followed his line of sight, only to see four figures gradually appear in the desert in the distance.

The two ninjas suddenly showed happy expressions, they knew that it was Konoha who had arrived.

"I've been waiting a long time! Temari arrived together, too, come, this way, please. ”

Soon, the two Sand Hidden Ninjas entered the Sand Hidden Village with the four Naruto who arrived.

"What? I love Rota......"

When he heard that there had been some terrifying changes in the appearance of my Airo's body, and he was still unconscious, Temari couldn't help but tighten his heart, and Naruto on the side accelerated his pace of running.

"I love Luo!"

At the Sand Hidden Hospital, everyone rushed into the ward one after the other, and at this time, there were several figures standing in front of Iara's bed, and one of them immediately rushed up with a shout as soon as he saw Kakashi leaning out from the door.

“...... You bastard, come to your senses! ”

Kakashi was shocked when he saw this, and before he could react, Naruto on the side immediately rushed forward with a seal with both hands.

In the next second, several clones appeared, trying to resist the attack of that figure, but they were instantly beaten back to their original form.

Naruto's main body hid behind the clone, and at the moment when the clone was blown up, he took the opportunity to fight back, and threw a punch, forcing the figure back several meters away.

"What do you want to do to Kakashi-sensei all of a sudden, you wrinkled old woman!"

Everything just happened so fast that everyone was shocked when they reacted.

I saw that the figure that suddenly rushed towards Kakashi slowly stood still, it was actually an old woman who was over eighty years old, and the agility she showed just now made people wonder about her real age.

Even Naruto, who had just fought her, sensed that this old woman was not simple.

Definitely not your average old woman.

"How dare you ...... then Damn Konoha White Fang, my son's hatred, I'll make a break today! ”

I saw the old woman muttering to herself, and she was about to rush up and fight Kakashi again.

"Oh, no...... I ......"

Kakashi immediately waved his hand in quick succession, as if trying to explain something.

"Less nonsense......"

Suddenly, at this moment, an old man raised his hand to stop her.

It turned out that it was all a misunderstanding, and because of her gray hair, the old woman mistook Kakashi for someone else.

The old woman who reacted looked embarrassed, so she could only blink and sell cuteness to ease the atmosphere, saying that she was just pretending to be demented.

Everyone: "......"

Soon, Kankuro came over and explained my current situation.

Naruto and the others were surprised to learn that what had happened in the Sand Hidden Village that night, and at the same time anxiously came to my Airo's hospital bed to see what had become of him.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and when Sakura saw the hideous face of Iara immediately, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands.

"Sakura-chan, can you cure me Airo?"

Naruto was also taken aback by my Airo's half-human, half-beast appearance, but he quickly calmed down and asked Sakura if there was anything he could do.

"Sorry...... But I've never seen anything like this......"

Sakura's face was full of helplessness and self-blame.

Soon, the old woman just now came over, her name was Chiyo, and she was one of the elders of the high-level of Shayin Village.

"Based on my years of experience, this disease of my Airo cannot be called a disease."

Chiyo spoke, her tone thick and heavy like a cloud piling up.

Everyone was attracted by her words: "What do you mean? ”

"As a human pillar force, the relationship between Iara, and Tail Shou Crane will take on a variety of states depending on the stability of the seal, that is, Tailed Beast."

Chiyo looked at Airo with a solemn face and continued.

"My Airo's tailed beast is divided into two states, relying on the body and the complete body, the former is my Airo's current state, and the latter is completely transformed into a crane."

After listening to Chiyo's description, Naruto, who is also a pillar force, seemed to easily understand the difference between the two words, he had lost control many times, the most serious one almost killed his master, but he didn't know it yet.

"But...... Why does Airo keep this form? It was then that Naruto raised his question.

"That's the problem...... Chiyo's eyes seemed to be clouded with a layer of fog.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Kankuro suddenly spoke.

"I haven't confirmed the veracity of the information, but I might be able to find out why I'm like this."

Looking at the puzzled gazes cast by everyone, Kanjiuro recounted the incident of Hatsuya coming to him yesterday.

"What? So why are we staying here?! ”

As soon as Naruto heard that there was a clue to follow, he immediately set off to follow Hatsuya's team to find the two suspicious intruders.

"Calm down, Naruto, it's not sure what that Akatsuki organization will do next, we can't leave the sand for now." Kakashi habitually pressed Naruto's shoulder.

"But, Kakashi-sensei, maybe those two intruders are members of the Akatsuki Organization!" Naruto still wouldn't compromise.

There was no way, Kakashi had to summon the ninja dog Parker, let him sniff the specific tracking cloth strip given by Kankuro, and set off first to find the whereabouts of the Hatsuya team, which stabilized Naruto's impatience.

At the same time, an intelligence eagle flew in from the intelligence department of the sand hide, and the ninja of the sand hide saw that it was the eagle pill who had gone to deliver the letter a few days ago and had returned.

"Markey-sama, this is a reply from Konoha."

"Good work."

In the corridor of the hospital, a sand ninja looked at the scroll in his hand and handed it to Kakashi in front of him, "This is a letter from Hokage-sama. ”

As soon as Kakashi took the scroll, Naruto on the side couldn't wait to ask, "What did Tsunade mother-in-law say?" ”

Kakashi first read the contents of the letter, then turned to Naruto and said, "It seems that Kaiban has been sent here as reinforcements." ”

Naruto was stunned for a moment.

"Thick eyebrows teacher's class......"

At the same time, in the woods of the country of Kawanoku, I saw a few swift figures speeding past the big trees, rushing towards the direction of Sand Hidden Village.
