The land of water.
In an unknown forest, a door exuding a primitive atmosphere appeared out of thin air. Then a yellow-haired man stepped out skillfully, paused for a moment, and even looked around before walking out.
"Damn, the coordinates are crooked again." Naruto complained.
In front of us is a dense rain forest, it is raining in the sky, and the distance is wrapped in white mist. The jasper is ethereal, as if covered by an airtight green awning.
It is naturally impossible to hold an umbrella while walking through this kind of rainforest. Naruto quickly put on a warm raincoat to prevent accidental hypothermia.
Walking into the rainforest, he spent some time finding his bearings and wandered around for a whole day without gaining anything. Seeing that night was about to fall, Naruto couldn't help but frown.
"The information I got is inaccurate. How can there be any graves of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen here?"
That's right, he came here to dig out ninja swords.
Among the seven existing Ninja Swordsmen, only Chojuro is still breathing. Zabuza is dead, Ingaki Kisame is dead, and Black Hoe Raiga is dead.
All three died in Naruto's hands, and all three ninja swords fell into his hands. There are four remaining swords, one of which is a double sword in the hands of Chojuro, and the other three were sealed in scrolls by Ghost Light Full Moon because no one inherited them.
Now, what he is looking for is the tomb of the former Kirigakure genius and the legendary ghost lamp full moon who can control seven ninja swords. In other words, three knives are in the hands of Gui Deng Man Yue.
As long as Naruto can find the tomb of Ghost Light Mangetsu and reincarnate his filthy soil, he can easily pocket the three ninja swords. At the same time, task two will advance nearly half of the progress bar, to the point where it is just short of perfection.
In the middle of the night, it rained heavily in the rainforest.
Naruto set up his tent on a tree and listened to the banging sound of the awning. He felt uncomfortable in the stuffy environment. Even if I fell asleep later, it was not a peaceful sleep.
The technology of the Country of Fire was too backward, and he regretted not updating a batch of goods in the Country of Snow. Maybe there might be more durable tents in the Snow Country, and it wouldn't be like this.
No matter how powerful they are, in this era without satellite positioning or transportation, almost everyone is equal. Even Jiraiya still had to use his feet to walk.
A powerful shadow-level man still had to huddle in a tent in the wind and rain. It was really miserable.
After a sleepless night, the weather outside had changed when I woke up the next morning. The scorching sun leaked out from the canopy of trees and shone directly on the tent.
With a crash, Naruto crawled out. He put the tent into the sealed space, squatted in a shady place, took out a bucket, and started washing.
After washing up, he made breakfast very coquettishly.
"Let's look for it again." Naruto sighed.
So, after five days of searching in the rainforest, he finally found the burial ground of Ghost Lantern Full Moon. In the relatively wide plain on the side, Naruto Guitu reincarnated into Ghost Lantern Full Moon.
The coffin was turned over, and with a bang, the confused Gui Deng Man Yue came out. He looked down at his palms and then up at Naruto, looking a little dazed.
"Reincarnation in the dirt?"
"No need to ask, just reincarnate in the dirt and summon the three ninja swords." Naruto added, and then added, "It's useless for you to resist."
"Yeah." Gui Deng Man Yue didn't care. He obviously knew about the reincarnation of the dirty earth.
This is all thanks to the heroic and invincible second generation, which greatly expanded the magical functions of ninjutsu and added a floor tile to the lower limit of war ninjutsu.
Ghost Full Moon cooperated very well with the channeling and produced three ninja swords, which directly helped Naruto contribute nearly half of the progress of the mission.
【Ding! 】
[Achievements achieved: Broken Sword, Beheading Sword, Thunder Sword, Fang, Sword, Shark Muscle, Long Sword, Needle, Explosive Sword, Spray, Blunt Sword, Touche. 】
[Reward: Izanagi, will be given out when all achievements are achieved. 】
He slid the panel up and down, looking at the progress bar of Task 2 that was almost full, and couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"There is still one last sword left, the one in Chojuro's hand."
Now he had two choices before him, either he could make a new career with his old skills and sneak into Kirigakure Village and act according to the situation. Or, play it safe and return to Konoha first and talk about it later.
After thinking for a moment, he chose to charge.
the other side.
At the far end of the rainforest, beyond an island, a group of four people were walking slowly along the sea. All four of them wore black hoods and loose robes.
The sea breeze blew up one person's hood, revealing the person's short fiery red hair. Xianglin stroked her short flowing hair with her hands and turned to look at Sasuke behind her.
"Are we going to the Water Kingdom this time?"
"Yeah." Sasuke frowned. He was injured just recently and his face was still a little pale. "The crazy people in Kumogakure didn't know what medicine they took. They fought in an almost life-threatening way."
"Remember that account first, and don't provoke Kumogakure for the time being. Anyway, Kirigakure also has tailed beasts. As long as you find the habitat where the three tails are, you are doing a mission."
"Stop talking, Yunyin's group of people are simply muscle maniacs. If we hadn't run fast, we might have died there." Gui Deng Shuiyue complained.
Zhonggo glanced at his friends, lowered his head, and continued on his way.
"Sasuke, how is your injury?" Xianglin asked.
"It's okay." Sasuke opened his clothes, revealing the hideous wound on his chest. He just glanced down and then calmly withdrew his gaze.
The Fourth Raikage and Kirabi teamed up and almost smashed half of Sasuke's body with a thunder plow hot knife. Fortunately, Jugo transformed Sasuke into a sage and gave Sasuke a mouthful of milk to regenerate him.
Otherwise, the proud Erzhuzi would be cold now, and twelve dishes and one soup would be served.
"Further ahead is the border of the Kingdom of Water. We will rest after arriving at the Mist Islands." Sasuke gave the order and the team continued to set off.
"Sasuke, what if people from Kirigakure also find out that we have entered the country?" Xianglin asked her most worried question, "We..."
"No, nothing in the world is such a coincidence." Sasuke objected.
"But during this time, I always feel like something is not right. It seems that we have been having bad luck since we entered Konoha."
Xianglin frowned and said worriedly.
"Including the time when Danzo was killed, it was really strange. We had obviously retreated, but Danzo was suddenly consumed again."
"It seems like a pair of invisible hands is pulling us forward. Every move we make is under the control of others. It's really scary."
"Xiang Rin, are you too suspicious?" Suigetsu didn't care, "Your perception is so strong, and Sasuke also has a pair of Sharingan eyes from the Uchiha clan."
"Whether it's illusion or other strategies, it can't completely lead us forward. What you said is just a coincidence."
Hearing this, Sasuke actually felt that there was some truth to it. After all, only the four of them knew the internal plan, and there were no traitors in the team.
Everything that happened along the way seemed to be explained only by coincidence. Including meeting Naruto in Konoha, and finally turning back to kill Danzo.
"Then how do you explain what happened in Yunyin Village? You tell me!" Xianglin was immediately dissatisfied and shouted at Gui Deng Shuiyue, "Use your brain and think about it!"
"We entered Cloud Hidden Village on the front foot, and the Fourth Raikage came out with almost all the people on the back foot, just to kill us intruders?"
"With so much time, can we steal any important items? This is just an anti-aircraft cannon to kill mosquitoes. Is it necessary? It's time to catch up on the murder of my father!"
"There are so many unreasonable things, one after another. Is your mind full of water?"
Shuiyue shook his head and looked at Xianglin in surprise. There is indeed water in his mind. It's not that he is stupid, he just doesn't want to think about those things.
"That's not important. Anyway, we changed places. If something is wrong, wouldn't you know if something is wrong?" He spread his hands and said, "We didn't encounter anything along the way. Besides, we won't enter Kirigakure Village this time."
"You!" Xianglin was angry.
"Okay! Stop arguing!" Sasuke was upset when he heard this. "What Xianglin said makes sense. Suigetsu's method is also feasible. We will find out when we enter the Kingdom of Water and take a look at the situation."
"Where should we go?" Naruto left the rain forest and ran quickly in the direction of Kirigakure Village, "It's a pity that without Sasuke's assist this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve the same results as last time in Kirigakure. "
He murmured to himself, shaking his head in regret, unaware that Sasuke, who had escaped death by Kumogakure, was approaching the Kingdom of Water.
Naruto's plan was to use the transformation technique to sneak into Kirigakure to inquire about the situation. After finding out Chojuro's routine, he would steal the double-sword Kogi directly while he was alone.
Well, he was about to start his mediocre villager plan A again.
Konoha.
After several days and nights of wandering at sea, Neji and Xiao Li finally ended their journey and arrived in Konoha smoothly. They went home and lay down for two days.
The next day.
The third team gathered to celebrate the safe return of the three people from the mission. This is their agreed-upon rule, as long as they go through dangerous tasks, they will meet once.
Metkai was still on his way to the island of the Kingdom of Whirlpool to meet Tiantian. The intelligence transmission on the way could not be updated in real time. He did not know that Tiantian had returned.
Even if he knew, he would probably be on his way back now. Not to mention, whether Metkay can come to the third shift party.
After three rounds of drinking, the three of them each ate some food to fill their bellies.
"Tiantian, why are you back so early?" Xiao Li stopped his chopsticks and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Tiantian understood that Li Neji most likely didn't know that Naruto had the mysterious shuttle door. Therefore, she will naturally not leak the secret.
"Well, maybe it's just luck. Naruto has a boat." She said casually, "He sent me ashore and I didn't know what to do. He left again."
"This is so strange. Naruto seems to have arrived directly at such a long distance." Xiao Li scratched his head and looked at Neji.
"Neji, did I remember the time wrong?"
"No, maybe it's because Naruto has other options."
Neji was not very curious about Naruto. He had already understood Naruto's methods from the time he showed his bare hands to remove the seal of the caged bird.
"Is that so?" Xiao Li scratched his head and didn't think much about it.
"By the way, Neji, when will you get married?" Tiantian suddenly brought up a topic and looked at Neji with a smile. Xiao Li on the side also became interested.
"Yes, yes, Neji, when will you get married?"
"It's coming soon. It should be within the next few days." Neji nodded, "I will send someone to send you invitations on the specific date. No gift money is necessary."
"How can this be done?" Tenten shook his head, "When Shikamaru and Chouji got married, we all gave them gifts, so you can't help but give them when you get married."
"Okay." Neji forced a smile, "My original intention was to make it simple. In fact, the weddings of the Hyuga clan are like this."
"By the way, Neji, are you the leader of the Hyuga clan now?" Xiao Li looked at him.
"yes."
"That's amazing!" Xiao Li had a look of astonishment on his face and praised him sincerely.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just," Neji explained simply, and his words were sincere, "The Hyuga clan and the branch family have been in conflict for a long time, so we can only take things slowly."
Sitting aside and listening carefully every day, picking up food and sipping a drink. Neji was talking about the specific arrangements for the wedding in a slow voice, and Xiao Li listened with admiration on his face.
As she drank, she suddenly realized that Neji's sudden marriage was not unacceptable. As a partner, you should bless him after he chooses his path.
"Congratulations on your marriage, Neji!" Tiantian smiled and raised his wine glass towards Neji.
"Me too!" Xiao Li quickly raised his glass.
Hearing this, Neji's face showed a gentle smile, and he also raised his glass and touched it with his two companions. He has found the path he has worked hard for all his life and found the exit in life.
The caged bird locks not only the brain, but also a spiritual shackles. He wants to change everything, be the first to truly stand up and say no, and he has probably done it now.
"Why do you look so unfamiliar?" The people from Kirigakure's assassination team stopped Naruto and looked him up and down.
Naruto suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and was horrified in his heart, wondering why the Kirigakure Village was so perverted. He clearly used the transformation technique, but he was still recognized.
"I've always been like this!" He said bravely.
"You are still quibbling? I can tell at a glance that you are not from Hidden Kirist Village!" The man frowned, pointed his finger at Naruto, and reprimanded sternly.
"who are you?"
"It's you! Don't look! It's you! How dare you ignore me? Are you looking for death?"
The man's voice was far away, and Naruto couldn't help but have a complicated look on his face as he watched the lunatic wearing the clothes of an assassination force chase another villager.
"Can Terumi Mei be able to do it? How do you manage your subordinates? Even lunatics have escaped!"
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Just now he almost thought that his plan A for the villagers had been aborted. It makes no sense to Xindao that it would be ridiculous if his transformation technique was recognized by an unknown person.
As he walked forward, he didn't notice a gaze being cast on him. The end of that gaze was Terumi Mei, a window on the third floor along the street.
