At the border of the Snow Country.

The Third Quarter is separated from the outside world by a wall, dividing the interior and exterior of Snow Country into two worlds.

The walls separating the boundary from the city are very tall, just like the outer walls that surround Konoha, but the actual thickness and height are much higher than those of Konoha.

From the outside, it looks like a huge fortress.

"Is this the footprint of that monster?"

Two uniformed men appeared outside the city, one of whom crouched down and traced the dented footprints on the ground with his palm.

The other person took a pen and recorded the information of the footprints on it, shook his head and said: "This footprint looks like it comes from a human being, but it is inevitably too big, and it is estimated that it is three or four meters tall." ”

"You stay here for now, protect the surrounding residents, and I'll go back to the garrison right now to see what kind of creature's footprints are here."

"Okay, go and get back."

In other countries in the ninja world, civilians not only have to pay various taxes, but also spend money to hire ninjas when they encounter problems.

Over time, ninjas gradually became tools of oppression of civilians in the hands of the powerful, because only the wealthy could hire ninjas.

It is precisely because of the understanding of these drawbacks that under the reform of the face of hemp, the Snow Country has abandoned the "mercenary" form of the five major powers.

The people of the Snow Land only need to pay taxes to be protected by the state, and they don't need to spend extra money to hire ninjas to solve their problems.

Even if there is an accident, the garrisons of various towns can immediately arrive at the scene and solve the problem for the people.

The effect is also very good, and the people's sense of identity and happiness in the snow country has been rising.

When an accident occurs, it will also be reported to the town's garrison as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a natural eyeliner to some extent.

According to the residents of the towns around the border, there has been a rumbling sound at night recently.

There are even people who have seen the appearance of monsters with tall bodies and shining eyes.

Members of the town's security team, after getting the news, rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

Judging from the footprints, though, they hadn't heard of the creature either.

I can only go back and report to the higher authorities and ask for help.

A few years ago, Snow Country completed nationwide road construction work, strengthening communication and management between towns and cities.

In this way, the orders issued from above can be conveyed to all localities as soon as possible, and the intelligence and information from various localities can be smoothly transmitted to the heavens.

But just when the two wanted to go their separate ways.

"No more trouble."

An emotionless voice suddenly came from behind them.

The two subconsciously turned their heads and saw a familiar figure.

"Instructor?"

"It's the two of you."

The masked Uchiha Izumi glanced at the two of them, and said in a surging tone: "This place has been taken over by the military, you go and ask the garrison to organize the evacuation of the residents of nearby towns." ”

While they were talking.

Winter! Winter! Winter!

As the earth shook, hundreds of figures stepped out of the distant woods.

I saw that the stone statues that should not have life were now like living creatures, lined up in a row, slowly walking in the direction of the Snow Country.

Fields and roads along the way were badly damaged.

"That's ......," the two guards looked at each other.

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go and organize the evacuation of residents?"

"Oooh! Be! ”

After the two of them left, Izumi Uchiha came to a treetop.

The originally dark Tong hole turned scarlet, and three magatama slowly appeared in his eyes, staring thoughtfully downward, looking at the stone army marching towards the town area of the Snow Country.

Suddenly, the shadows beneath his feet began to spread, cascading down the trunk of the tree to the ground.

Finally, it turned into a pitch-black figure, and swept like lightning towards several stone soldiers marching in front of them.

The figure was like a sharp sword sharpened like clay, and the legs of the stone soldier's chassis were severed in its passing.

The cut part is as smooth as a mirror.

The purple mist also rose and gradually dissipated into the air.

In an instant, the dark shadow was back behind Izumi.

"How?"

“…… Using what the Lord has given us can indeed destroy their core. ”

The black shadow gradually appeared on his facial features, turning into the appearance of Uchiha stopping the water.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Izumi took out a blue-green spar, and his hands began to seal rapidly, and his cheeks bulged.

"Immortal Arts, Fire Escape, Heroic Fire Extinguished!"

The flames in his mouth fell from the sky, causing a loud rumbling sound that spewed towards the Gargoyle Legion.

The blue flames that burned quickly roared like an ocean, engulfing the body of the stone statue soldier.

A large number of stone soldiers rolled in the air, their bodies and the stone blades in their hands were torn apart, and the battle was almost a one-sided slaughter.

Most of the stone soldiers who walked forward were swept in, burned red by the scorching flames, and the surface of their bodies cracked open.

The ground and the mountain paths on both sides left cloudy scorched black marks, braving the terrifying heat that bent the air.

By the time the blue sparks faded away from the stone soldiers, all that was left on the ground was a pile of broken stones.

Under the observation of the writing wheel eye of the Uchiha Shisui, the internal situation of the stone statue soldier can be seen clearly.

The blue sparks, blessed by natural energy, erased those purple-black chakras without a trace.

Those purple-black mist are the core of the gargoyle soldiers, and they are also the chakras of the spirits.

As long as these purple-black chakras are erased, they will be turned into a pile of useless stone statues.

Zhishui scratched his head: "It's still your ninjutsu that is more suitable for dealing with a large number of enemies." ”

Without using the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, his ninjutsu is more suitable for stealth monolithic assassinations.

Even if it is a large-scale shadow flow secret technique, it is essentially a move of a single point enemy.

Izumi looked at the hot hell below that had turned into a hot steamer, and the eyes of the three-hooked jade writing wheels were full of calm and desert.

"Next, just keep these ghosts out and wait for the Lord to deal with the monsters."

These stone soldiers are hard and terrifyingly powerful, but they are slow and inflexible.

For Izumi, who is good at fire escape ninjutsu, it is undoubtedly the best group of live targets.

Even a body as hard as steel could not stop the high-temperature fire escape that fused with the immortal chakra and could dissolve steel.

"Well, there should be no problem."

Zhishui nodded and said, "The Lord has already taken the first step, so it's good for us to protect the Snow Country here." ”

For them, it is not a difficult opponent to solve.

The real key is the monsters.

These stone statues of soldiers seem to be attacking fiercely and with great momentum, but they are just smoke bombs thrown by monsters, which are used to make a sound and attack the west.

If you can't seal the monster, no matter how many gargoyle soldiers you deal with, it won't help.

………………

In a cave on the border of the Land of Rain.

Kakashi looked at Ninji, who was speechless, and leaned his head to Maitkai beside him, "Ninji seems to have become a lot stronger this time." ”

"Hahaha, that's when ...... Ahem. ”

Under Kakashi's helpless gaze, Kai lowered his voice a little embarrassedly and smirked, "He's a genius who is not inferior to yours!" ”

What's more, Ning Ci's desperateness is no less than Xiao Li's.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Kakashi responded with half-open dead fish eyes, then lowered his head and said no more.

After repairing in the Land of Rain for a while, they successfully crossed the country of birds and bears and stepped into the territory of the country of ghosts.

When they thought that everything was going well and that they would soon be able to meet the shrine maiden.

But I never thought that when a few people walked through the jungle, their eyes suddenly opened up.

The sky above suddenly became gloomy.

One moment the sky was clear, the next it was covered with clouds.

"This?!"

Several people subconsciously paused their steps to move forward, and looked at the originally flat and empty open space in a daze.

A tall stone soldier with a stone blade in his hand stood there, standing still in the wind, rendering the atmosphere of the entire clearing dead and eerie.

Seeing that the gargoyle soldiers were still asleep, Kakashi hurriedly gestured to the others to be quiet.

However, at this moment.

Kaka Ka ......

Hundreds of stone-like soldiers raised their heads at the same time, scarlet light lit up in the hollow eye sockets.

Just like that, he looked straight towards where Kakashi and the others were.

"Has it been discovered?" Kakashi reacted immediately.

Aimed at a stone soldier with a detonation charm tied to his hand.

Several others also reacted, using their own methods to attack the stone statuette soldiers from a distance.

Ding-bell! Boom Boom!

Kunai was bounced off by the body of the stone soldier, and a slight spark erupted as if it were hitting steel.

Then the detonation charm burned, and the fire produced by the detonation appeared in an instant, and the smoke and dust in the sky slowly rose with a loud noise.

Devour several stone soldiers around it.

But wait until the fire and smoke dissipate.

A few stone statues of soldiers were only worn out, and their incomparably hard bodies could be said to be completely unscathed.

Of the rest of the attackers, only Kai kicked one with his physical skills.

But in an instant, the shattered stone soldiers were back on their feet.

Such stone soldiers, not one or two, but hundreds of legions.

"Damn!

”

Kai Meng retreated, gasping for breath and shouting, "These ghosts can't be killed at all!" ”

Seeing the shattered stone statue soldier return to his original state, Kakashi's brow furrowed.

"A special puppet soldier made of hard rock, it seems that this is the ghost army controlled by the monster."

It's no wonder that even the three generations of Hokage say that monsters are very tricky.

These stone statues are invulnerable, invulnerable, and even if they are detonators, it is difficult to pose a deadly threat to them.

If the ninjas of the five great powers were to fight them head-on, even if they were to win, it would definitely be a crushing victory with heavy casualties.

Kakaka!

The stone soldiers also stiffened their movements, raising their stone blades in their hands in a projectile motion.

The next second.

The stone blade was projected in the direction of Kakashi and the others like a net.

Kakashi's hole shrank suddenly.

"Hurry back!"

Boom Boom!

The stone blade, which was already very heavy, fell with terrifying force.

The trees behind fell instantly, causing a roar.

The power of this attack is even more terrifying than the explosive charm.

Fortunately, these gargoyle soldiers are clumsy and have no intelligence or reason to speak of.

He could only move stiffly and constantly throwing the stone blade into the sky.

Although they can't fight head-on, they can barely cope with the projection attacks of the stone blade by relying on their physical skills.

The figures of several people flew through the woods, dodging the stone blades thrown at them.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are nothing more than a bunch of soulless puppets.

"I can't get tangled with them anymore."

Kakashi frowned and ordered, "There's no need to waste time on these puppets, let's go to the Oni Country first and meet the shrine maiden!" ”

The fundamental solution to these gargles is to find the sorcerers behind them.

"Good!"

A few people nodded, and began to go deep into the woods, bypassing the slow-moving stone soldiers, and rushing through the hinterland of the Ghost Country towards the west side of the Ghost Country.

And along the way in the country of seclusion, all stone soldiers are wreaking havoc.

If those stone soldiers on the border of the country of ghosts are guarding, then these stone soldiers are invading the surrounding countries.

It seems that the dragon spirit should not have broken away from the seal.

Then it can only be the group of "Huangquan Sect" who worship the spirits.

However, the Kakashis did not stop.

Rather than wasting time entangled with these unkillable puppets, it is better to meet up with the witches of the Oni Country as soon as possible, find the location of the Huangquan Sect, and then exterminate them.

After a period of trekking, several people finally bypassed the country of ghosts and approached the western border of the country of ghosts again.

"Wait a minute!"

Kakashi frowned, and suddenly paused.

Immediately, a small telescope was taken out of the pouch.

Following the unusual tremor of the ground, he looked across the border of the Oni Country.

Even from a distance, you can see the tall walls on the border of the Snow Country.

Judging from the neat concrete floor and environment, you can imagine the standard of living of the inhabitants there.

"The economic power is really strong."

Kakashi's first thought about the Land of Snow was that he had a lot of money.

Even the towns on the border of the country have set up smooth roads,

Could it be that they paved roads in all towns?

What a huge amount of money is required for this...... Kakashi was a little unexpected.

However, at this time, a group of stone statues is slowly walking towards the Snow Country, and it seems that they are invading the Snow Country's borders.

And the entire sky above the Land of Snow is set off in orange-red.

Even from such a distance, Kakashi could faintly feel a wave of heat hitting his face.

However, due to the obscuration of the tall trees, he could not see what was really happening.

"What's going on over there, is it Fire Escape Ninjutsu?"

Kakashi looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "It looks like he hasn't breached the defense yet, but ......"

Can Snow Country still use a fire escape ninjutsu of this scale?

Even if it's a joint ninjutsu, it's also worth noting.

"Kakashi."

Maitkai on the side came up and asked with curiosity on his face, "Is there something going on over there?" ”
