Rumble! Rumble!

The waves of fire that rose to the sky rushed towards the heavy gold in a steady stream of mountains and seas.

However, under the encroachment and reflection of this blazing flame, the gold dust shield did not have any tendency to be melted at all, and still shone with a dazzling light.

The evenly matched fire and golden light seemed to divide the night into two worlds.

The stalemate lasted for a long time.

With its weight and quality advantages, placer gold gradually overwhelmed the blazing and terrifying sea of fire.

Seeing this, Ma Ji couldn't help but be overjoyed, and blurted out in an excited tone, "Kazekage-sama! ”

Sure enough, Kazekage-sama has the power to lead Sand Hidden Village into the future!

But when Maki looked joyful, he looked at "Kazekage-sama" with longing.

But he was suddenly shocked to find that Luo Sha's hands were still pressed to the ground.

A drop of cold sweat slowly slipped down his solemn face.

"What the hell is going on with this guy......"

Feeling the chakra flowing rapidly in his body, Luo Sha's heart could not produce any joy at all.

The advantage of the third generation of Kazekage's blood inheritance limit "Magnetic Escape Iron Sand" is that it is light and flexible, and it can extract iron sand in situ, but the disadvantage is the performance limitation of the iron sand itself.

The advantages and disadvantages of Luo Sha's Blood Inheritance Limit "Magnetic Escape Dust Gold" are completely opposite.

Density, melting point, quality......

Although it cannot be squandered as much as you want, placer gold can be said to be a thousand burdens and invincible.

But such a powerful placer gold was almost defeated by the Fire Escape Ninjutsu.

Fire Escape, Hao Huo Extinguished, is just a Fire Escape Ninjutsu with a B-level learning difficulty.

And this guy in front of him simply used the momentum and power of the B-level ordinary ninjutsu to the forbidden arts!

From this point of view alone, the control of the chakra and the amount of chakra are already terrifying.

Rumble!

！

In the end, it was the gold dust that was slightly better and barely extinguished the fire.

"Kazekage-sama, how are you?"

Markey asked as he stepped over to Rosa and stared warily ahead.

The solemn look on Luo Sha's face remained unchanged, and he just shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.

Immediately, he looked into the distance again and asked in a deep voice:

"Who is Your Excellency, and why are you blocking our Sha Yin's actions?"

This guy's fire escape attainments are too strong.

Fortunately, the village has been much richer financially recently, otherwise he would not have been able to bring so much placer gold out of the village.

Why did a ninja with such strength attack them?

Which village sent a ninja, or did you happen to encounter an enemy?

At least in his impression, except for the destroyed Uchiha clan, no one seemed to be able to use such a powerful fire escape ninjutsu.

That's when it happened.

The masked figure slowly stepped out of the dusty smoke screen.

"It should be said that it is worthy of the fourth generation of Wind Shadow, one of the Five Shadows?"

Looking at Luo Sha, who was a hundred meters away from him, Uchiha Izumi praised in a brisk tone: "You can test my current strength well." ”

】

As he spoke, two scarlets slowly emerged from the holes in the mask.

Feeling the familiar coldness, Luo Sha's body couldn't help but shake slightly.

"You ......"

He looked incredulous: "You're Uchiha?!" ”

No way!

How can it be?!

"There should only be two male clansmen left in the Uchiha, right, where did you, the woman with the writing wheel eye, come from?!"

And this woman's goal is very clear, that is, to come for their mining team in the sand.

Could it be that Konoha not only inherited the technological heritage of the empty country, but even hid a part of the Uchiha clan?

But is the Stone of Grell really worth exposing so many things for Konoha who are outstanding people?

Countless doubts suddenly poured into Luo Sha's mind.

"Your Excellency Kazekage, I must correct you a little."

Izumi Uchiha said in a serious tone and said, "The orthodoxy of the Uchiha clan is not in Konoha now!" ”

"The flames of the Uchiha have never died!"

As he spoke, the scarlet light of the writing wheel under the mask became stronger and stronger, and the three magatama began to rotate and merge rapidly.

In the end, it gradually turned into a spiral-shaped complex pattern pattern, and a strong sense of oppression burst out from her body.

Rumble!

At the same time, a dark red rib shadow projected from her body,

A dark red chakra poured out of his body, turning into a huge skeletal giant and standing in front of Luo Sha.

"This ......"

Looking at the dark red skeleton giant in front of him, Luo Sha couldn't help but take a few steps back in shock, and muttered with a face full of surprise: "This is a kaleidoscope writing wheel?!" ”

"Who the hell are you?!"

This woman is not just an ordinary Uchiha person, she actually has the same kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes as the Itachi of the Exterminator!?

When did such a strong man emerge in the ninja world quietly?

"Akatsuki, Tsuki-to-life!"

Izumi Uchiha crossed his arms around his chest, and his tone was a little crazy: "Your Excellency Kazekage, please give me advice!" ”

As the words fell, the dark red chakra giant raised its arm.

Then, shoot at Raksha and Markey!

Luo Sha came back to his senses, and his heart sank.

"Markey! Withdraw! ”

Without looking back, his hands began to seal rapidly.

The gold dust behind him began to converge into the sky, condensing into a thick and huge gold dust cube, and slammed into the bone fist from the air.

Peng!

！

Kakakacha!

In an instant, the gold dust scattered in all directions, and the dark red skeleton shattered.

………………

At the same time, a carriage carrying luggage and supplies traveled on the border between the country of rivers and the country of fire.

In the carriage, the old man with a wine trough nose poured down the wine "Gu Dong Gu Dong".

"I'm telling you, our country is very strong and rich...... "His face flushed, and he kept thinking about his hometown.

Upon hearing that the old man's country was located in the south, Kakashi, who was guarding outside the carriage, frowned.

"Old man, are you talking about the southern kingdom in the south of the fire country?"

This S-class mission, he already has a general understanding of the situation.

The goal of his mission this time is to escort the old man safely to the country of Kawanoku.

However, since the mission level is S-level, it is naturally impossible to be so simple.

This old man, who looked like he was not doing anything right, was ostensibly a caravan leader, but in fact he was a descendant of an ancient empire, holding the specific location of the ruins of that ancient empire.

In a canyon on the border of the country of rivers and the country of wind, the remains of the civilization of the ancient empire are hidden.

It was an ancient empire that once had a glorious civilization and is now lost in history.

As for what is the cause of annihilation......

"Hahaha, Hiccup~"

The old man had obviously drunk a little too much, and laughed proudly: "Mr. Ninja, this world is not only a country of fire, but also a continent!" ”

"Across the southernmost part of the Fire Nation, you'll see a lot of broken islands, where we once lived."

Kakashi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, "You're from another continent? ”

Yamato, who was silent beside him, was also surprised when he heard this.

Because of the endless wars and contradictions in the ninja world, countries are wary and hateful of each other.

Although they often go out of the village to carry out missions, they have never crossed the sea.

So in their opinion.

Except for the continent on which they are located, the southern part of the continent is an endless sea.

But from the old man's words.

There used to be a piece of land there, and even a huge empire was built, only for what reason it was destroyed?

"Hiccup~ Why are you making such a fuss?"

Seeing Kakashi so surprised, the old man suddenly became even more proud.

"Don't look at the fact that it is your five great powers that rule the ninja world now, my ancestors also cut down the jungle, dug mountain roads, filled up the rivers, and established a splendid civilization, and the resources of an entire continent belong to us."

"Wells that never dry up, animals that grow overnight, and food that never runs out are the cornerstones of all this...... Belch! ”

The old man tilted his head and said happily.

But as he spoke, the words on his lips suddenly stopped, and even the wine woke up in an instant.

"Huh?"

Kakashi was also stunned when he saw this, and said in a puzzled tone, "Old man, what's wrong?" ”

"Aha, what are you talking about?"

The old man scratched the back of his head, pretending to be a lake: "What did I just say, how did I forget?" ”

Kakashi frowned, trying to ask.

Only to hear an earth-shattering snoring sound coming from the carriage, directly interrupting Kakashi's words that had already reached his mouth.

"This old guy is really ......"

Kakashi's dead fish eyes twitched, and he thought to himself.

This S-class mission is obviously not simple.

But I don't know why, the three generations of Hokage didn't say it directly.

And the rise and fall of that ancient empire, the old man has been consciously or unconsciously avoiding the important just now.

Maybe the three generations of Hokage made a deal with the old man, and the content of the transaction was related to what he deliberately hidden.

"Alas! What a hassle. ”

Kakashi looked distressed, and sighed secretly in his heart: "I knew that I would have found a reason to refuse......"

He always had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

I'm afraid this time the task will not be easy.

……………………

Starting from the shortest road, the mining team composed of more than a dozen Iwakuin ninjas has been advancing at full speed towards the country of Kawanoku.

Except for a stop of more than ten minutes to rest and eat, the rest of the time was spent on the road.

For ninjas, this is the most basic basic skill, and ninjas who go out on missions all year round will not waste time and energy on rest and food.

This also allowed them to arrive at the border location of Kawanokuni before dawn.

"Captain."

A Iwakuin ninja walked up to the captain of the mining team and pointed in the direction ahead, "Ten kilometers further, you can reach the Kawanokuni Gorge." ”

"Tell me to go down, slow down."

Captain Iwakuin waved his hand and said, "Rest for a while, let the advance team go to the front to investigate, and then enter the country of Kawanoku." ”

"Yes."

Iwa Shinobu nodded and turned to leave, going to deliver his orders.

Once the order was given, the team gradually stopped moving forward and began to set up camp in its place.

Medical supplies, food, water, tents and other supplies were all prepared.

The land of earth is different from the recent land of fire and wind.

They don't have logistical supplies or support, so they have to make sure that the team can maintain enough combat energy after entering the country of Kawanoku.

They had already reacted in their minds countless battles about the battles they might face next.

You don't need to think about the possibility of defeat at all, you just need to think about how much they will gain in the end as a winner, and that's the main thing.

Because their Tsuchikage-sama has already made all the arrangements.

After Captain Iwakuin had everything arranged, he walked to the two strangely dressed people at the back of the group.

He handed the food and water to the two of them, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Two adults, thank you for your hard work. ”

"You're welcome, it's the duty."

Jiaodu took the food and water, and said in a cold tone: "We will help you solve all the obstacles according to the agreement, and don't forget the gratuity behind when it is over." ”

The scorpion urn hiding in the scarlet amber on the side said angrily: "Hurry up and end it, it's really boring!" ”

Hearing the scorpion's contempt, Captain Iwain's face sank slightly.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Then the next journey will be troublesome for the two of you, and we will definitely pay a commission that satisfies you." ”

Although he was a little dissatisfied with the attitude of the two traitors in front of him.

However, the strength of these two guys can still be trusted.

………………

Meanwhile.

A three-person Iwakuin advance team has come to the territory of Kawanokuni to investigate the surrounding situation.

As he was walking, one of Iwa shinobi slapped the man next to him with his arm.

"Eh, you say ......"

He asked curiously, "Did you hear an explosion when we left the village?" ”

"Nonsense, such a loud explosion can be heard from miles away."

"Say, what's the situation?"

"Do you need to ask?"

Iwa Shinobu smiled playfully: "I guess it was Deidara's little ghost again, let me tell you, he ...... Well? ”

He was about to say something to the person next to him, but the other Iwa Shinobi suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

As if sensing something strange about his expression, Iwa Shinobu also frowned and asked.

"Didn't you notice?"

The Iwa Shinobi looked around and said without looking back, "Isn't it too quiet around here?" ”

The other two were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then reacted immediately.

Indeed, it was too quiet.

It's even eerily quiet.

It's early in the morning, how can there be no insects?

"Wait, there's someone up ahead."

The solemn words came from the mouth of the Iwa Shinobi who was in charge of perception.

"Anyone?"

“…… No, are you mistaken? ”

The two Iwa shinobi followed his gaze, but all they could see were swaying trees and shadows.

In the moonlight, there were only flickering shadows and rustling foliage, like monsters that chose to devour people.

"No, I really feel it."

Although not visible in the field of vision, the perceptual ninja is very sure.

A figure must have flashed past just now.

The two Iwa shinobi next to him frowned, looking at the solemn expression of their companion, and they also began to get nervous.

Cold sweat flowed unnaturally from his forehead, and there was a grunting sound in his throat, and he suddenly felt a burst of hair in his heart.

Isn't it, what the hell?
