Inside a cave on the border of the Land of Snow and the Land of Demons.

The two ninjas sat cross-legged around the campfire, and the slashed cloud concealment forehead proved their renegade status.

"Damn, that's bad luck!"

One of them frowned and complained, "As a neutral country, you have set up such a tight checkpoint...... What are they guarding against? ”

Moreover, there is also that unknown perceptual ninjutsu......

They had only been slightly close to the border of the Snow Country, and they had been spotted by the guys in strange armor there.

This level of vigilance is so exaggerated that it is almost the same as in wartime.

They had no chance to sneak into the Snow Country at all, so they could only stay away from the Snow Country for a while and stay at the border of the Ghost Country.

"There's no way, our current identity on the surface is a traitor after all."

The other sighed: "Moreover, who knew that he would suddenly meet the Xuanyuan people, if it weren't for the Thunder Shadow Lord His Royal Highness, the two of us would have died by now." ”

As he spoke, he pounded the ground in hatred.

"Damn! I didn't expect it to become a drag on Lord Thunder Shadow! I don't know how Thunder Shadow-sama is doing now. ”

"With our physical condition, it's too dangerous to go out now, what are we going to do next?"

"I've sent the news back to the village, waiting for them to come ......"

The words of the two suddenly stopped, their expressions instantly became solemn, and they all looked at the entrance of the cave.

One of them quickly sealed his hands, and in an instant, he slapped them on the ground.

"Thunder away!"

Zizi!

The dense electric light broke the night, instantly covered the ground, and spread rapidly in the direction of the cave.

I saw that under the light of this thunder, a tall figure with a stone blade in his hand stood straight.

In the thunderous roar, the tall figure did not dodge or dodge, but actually broke into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

“…… What is it? ”

The Cloud Hidden Ninja frowned and wondered, "A moving stone statue? ”

That's when it happened.

Kakaka!

The rocks that had been shattered to the ground actually flew up strangely, and began to recover with a purple-black mist of light as the center.

In just two or three seconds, the shattered stone statue stood up again.

As he approached, under the horrified gaze of the two, a pair of eyes gradually lit up, and a stone statue appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"What!? Yes!

”

………………

At the same time, in the Kazekage Building.

The Dark Force Captain of the Sand Hidden Force is making a weekly report to Raksha.

“…… According to the reactions of the inhabitants of the border of the Land of Wind, there are huge footprints of unknown creatures there, and I hope that Lord Kazekage-sama will pay more attention. ”

But Luo Sha seemed to be thinking about something, and after listening to the report, he just waved his hand absentmindedly, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"Since you're not sure yet, it's good for you to go and take a look."

Seeing this, the captain of the dark army of Sand Yin secretly sighed in his heart, and had to reluctantly withdraw from the Kazekage's office.

And after he left, Raksha also got up from his seat.

Giggle......

When he sensed the weakness of his legs, his expressionless face showed a slightly gloomy color.

"Whew! Akatsuki ...... Where the hell are those guys? ”

The defeated battle with Amarasu in Kawanokuni not only caused him to lose Maki's "arm", but also made him lose his legs and become a cripple.

With the level of medical ninjutsu in Sand Hidden Village, it is not difficult to get a prosthetic leg.

But the "shadow" of Shayin Village is actually a cripple.

This alone is enough to make him lose his prestige, and even lose the face of Sand Hidden Village.

None of that matters, though.

Shayin Village still needs his magnetic escape, so those old guys won't unload the mill and kill the donkey.

What really gave Luo Sha a headache was my youngest son, I love Luo.

It's a teenager, and there's still not much progress in controlling Ichio Shouzuru.

Obviously, that monster grew up watching my Airo, why doesn't it resonate with my Airo at all?

Even, the number of rampage is more frequent than the previous one.

"Isn't my child as good as a monk? Am I really choosing the wrong container? ”

Luo Sha is extremely distressed, the Sand Ninja Village has a thin foundation, and the idiot of the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind is an iron rooster who does not pull out a dime.

After the end of World War III, the funds allocated to the village were reduced year by year.

What's more, the Sand Ninja Village is the defeated side of the Third Ninja World War.

According to the agreement between them and Konoha, they have to give a part of the mission bounty to Konoha every year.

The Sand Ninja Village had to open up sources and reduce expenditure, implementing an "elite policy", and he, the Wind Shadow, personally went into battle, panning for gold in the desert with magnetic escape, barely maintaining the village's finances.

Smart people understand that as the so-called lips and teeth are cold, the strength of the sand is declining, and the country of wind will also become a lamb to the slaughter.

However, after Luo Sha was crippled, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind used this as an excuse to cut most of the allocation for Sha Yin, which was undoubtedly worse for Sha Yin.

"That insatiable guy will be strung to death sooner or later."

Thinking of this, Luo Sha's expression became even more ugly: "It can't go on like this, I have to give my hard-earned bounty to Konoha every year, but Shayin's power can't turn against Konoha at all." ”

The perfect Nine-Tails Pillar Force, the three generations of Hokage, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi, and the guy who is suspected of inheriting Mu Dun......

Thinking of Konoha's luxurious lineup, Luo Sha felt powerless.

What a!

Aside from Akatsuki, the one he fears the most is Konoha.

Theoretically, even if I Airo becomes a perfect human pillar force, I can't fill this gap in strength.

But......

At the very least, it can bring a sense of security to the villagers of Shayin Village, and it can also stabilize his and dangerous position and power.

Just when Rosa made up his mind.

Katsa!

Chiyo pushed open the door and walked into Kazekage's office.

Subconsciously glanced at the puppet prosthetic leg of Luo Sha's leg, and asked, "You have decided?" ”

Luo Shatou nodded without looking back: "I have to make a choice, that is, tonight, if he can pass the test, he can live, otherwise, I can only use him as a threat to strangle." ”

Chiyo sighed lightly, and then asked, "Who is the person who did it?" ”

After a moment of silence, Luo Sha coldly spat out three words:

“…… Yaksha pills. ”

Chiyo's old face was startled, and he said in a strange tone: "Send Yashamaru to do it, are you serious?" He's Karuna's brother, and you're cruel to that kid! ”

"Cruel... Of course I do. Luo Sha's face darkened, and then he shook his head and said, "But only in this way can we test his strength." ”

"If he can stand the test, then I will do my best to train him, but if he can't control the power of Ichio...... Now the village has no choice. ”

As soon as these words came out, the office suddenly fell silent.

Chiyo sighed and was about to say something.

A masked shadow ninja suddenly appears in the office.

"Kazekage-sama!"

The dark ninja knelt down on one knee in front of Raksha, and said in a panicked tone, "There are two people who are forcing their way into the village's defenses!" ”

"They call themselves the Akatsuki Organization!"

………………

In the Hokage's office.

Maitkai, Yamato, and Kakashi stood in front of Sarutobi.

One with a face full of excitement, two with only decadence.

Ape Feiri looked at the three of them before he spoke after a while: "I called you here this time because I have a task entrusted to you. ”

With that, he took a scroll out of the drawer and placed it in Kakashi's hand.

"Oooh! What kind of task, actually want the three of us together? ”

Maitkai's eyes widened as he leaned over to Kakashi's side and looked at the contents of the scroll.

- S-class mission, assist the witch of the Ghost Country and exterminate the Huangquan Sect.

"It's a bit complicated."

Tapping his pipe on the table, Sarutobi continued, "The witch of the Oni Country has sent a request to us Konoha to exterminate the Yellow Springs Sect that tried to release monsters. ”

Kakashi's heart sank when he heard this.

The monsters and shrine maidens of the Oni Country, he had also heard of this legend.

"Monsters?" Instead, Maitkai looked at Ape Flying Sun with a puzzled look.

Ape Fei Sun Slash said in a low tone, "Monsters are special creatures similar to tailed beasts. ”

"Shhh Is that monster so powerful? ”

Maitkai's face showed an eager expression.

He longs to fight powerful beings and prove his will and youth.

Yamato on the side posted: "Since it is an existence similar to a tailed beast, as long as you use the sealing technique......"

Before Yamato could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"The strength of monsters cannot be judged from the perspective of strength."

Ape Fei Ri Slash glanced at the three of them deeply: "We are human beings, if we are human beings, we will have evil thoughts and darkness, and have all kinds of desires, in that case, we will only become food for the mouth of the monster." ”

"To deal with monsters with undead characteristics similar to tailed beasts, you can only rely on the power of the shrine maiden, and ninjas have no advantage in dealing with this kind of thing, but only add meaningless sacrifices."

"Moreover, the monster can also control and create the Immortal Ghost Army, which is a special group of puppet soldiers made of solid rock."

Hearing this, the three of them immediately fell silent.

It was also the first time they had heard of such a thing.

"Do you need to be free of evil thoughts to be sealed?"

Kakashi sighed, "If that's the case, it's really a bit of a hassle. ”

This monster is simply a natural disaster born to destroy humanity.

Maitkai nodded in agreement.

The immortality of the tailed beast is easy to say, but if it can only be restrained by the power of the shrine maiden, then the monster will indeed be very tricky for ninjas.

However, in this way, the shrine maiden is actually an existence without evil thoughts?

Is that shrine maiden really human?

"So what do we need to do?" Yamato asked expressionlessly.

Ape Fei Ri took a slow puff of his cigarette and said slowly, "It's the witch's job to seal the monsters, you just need to exterminate the Yellow Springs Sect."

He was not at all worried that the three of them would not be able to complete the task.

It is the duty of the Oni no Kuni to seal the Oni Country, which is why the Five Great Powers allow the Oni Nation to exist as a neutral nation.

Although the ninja could not defeat the dragons, it was not much of a problem to exterminate the Huangquan Sect, which worshiped the dragons.

"As a neutral country, the country of ghosts may have sent requests to other ninja villages, so this mission may encounter ninjas from other villages."

Sarutobi stood up, turned to look out the window at the village, and admonished, "You have to be careful and try not to clash with the ninjas from other villages. ”

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes!" ”

However, after the response.

"Hokage-sama, I still have something to ask for."

Maitkai scratched his head and asked bluntly, "Can I bring Ning Ci, Li, and Tian Tian? ”

"Whether they are up to the task or not is up to you, the guide, to judge."

"Rest assured! They are all very good kids! ”

After determining the task requirements, the three did not dare to delay any longer.

After leaving the Hokage's office, he picked up Ning Ji and the three of them went directly out of the village and rushed straight in the direction of the Oni Country.

"Kakashi."

Along the way, Kai bared his teeth and gave Kakashi a thumbs up, "Let me take a look at my proud student this time!" ”

Kakashi responded weakly: "Yes, yes~"

Kai didn't notice Kakashi's impatience at all, and continued to say happily, "Kakashi, this is the real youth, when I think of the growth of Ningji's three children, I feel full of energy!" ”

Kakashi turned his head and glanced at the three Ninji who were slightly behind the group, while continuing to deal with Kai in his mouth, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

He was a little suspicious right now.

After all, the last time I went out of the village to do a mission, I met Akatsuki's group of people.

Under the guidance of Tsunade-sama, the Mu Dun cells in Yamato's body were barely suppressed, and one of his current arms was still a prosthetic.

His injuries were only a little healed, and he was sent on a mission to the country of ghosts.

This made Kakashi, who was always cautious, feel a faint sense of unease.

The second half of the line.

Noticing that Ning Ci seemed to be a little uneasy, Xiao Li asked curiously, "Ning Ci, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ning Ci came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing." ”

Seeing that Ning Ci still looked like he was not giving up, Tian Tian on the side asked, "Ning Ci, what do you think of this mission?" ”

Ning Ci, who was thinking about his thoughts, replied casually: "The country of ghosts is sandwiched between the country of wind and the country of earth, and this time the matter involves monsters, and the witch will definitely ask for help from other ninja villages, so this mission will inevitably involve multiple ninja villages." ”

"In short, it's going to be a hassle."

Xiao Li was a little curious: "I don't know what kind of monster that monster is." ”

"At least at the tailed beast level, otherwise, Hokage-sama wouldn't have set the mission as S-class."

"Tailed beasts?" After pondering for a moment, Xiao Li's face suddenly showed a touch of excitement, and he lowered his voice and whispered: "Ning Ci, I can barely open the six doors now, but after opening it, I will basically lose my combat effectiveness." ”

Ning Ci was stunned, and then said: "When I competed yesterday, I already felt it. ”

Xiao Li smiled: "Sure enough, I also feel that you didn't use all your strength yesterday!" ”

The speed of the several people was not slow, just as they were talking.

Soon they crossed the border and entered the land of rainy rain.

In a cave.

A few people were cooking a fire while studying the next route of travel.

Between the country of ghosts and the country of fire, there are several small countries such as the country of rain, the country of birds, and the country of bears, and there are a large number of wandering ninjas in these small countries, and if you are not careful, you may encounter a fierce battle, so you must choose your route carefully.

After some discussion, Kakashi, who had determined the route of travel, put the map away.

At this time, Tian Tian whispered: "The weather in the land of rain is really bad, it rains all day long, and it makes people sticky to the lake." ”

"Hold on for a while, and rest when you reach a neutral country."

Kakashi, as the captain, dutifully instructed: "Although the country of rain is small, it is also a country with a ninja village, and the man known as the 'demigod' is the leader of the rain hidden village here, so we have to be extra careful here." ”
