boom! boom!
The fire waves soaring into the sky rushed towards the thick placer gold with overwhelming force.
However, under the engulfment and reflection of this blazing flame, the placer gold shield showed no tendency to be melted, and still shone with a dazzling light.
The evenly matched fire and golden light seemed to divide the night into two parts of the world.
The stalemate lasted for a long time.
By virtue of its weight and quality advantages, placer gold gradually overcame the fiery and terrifying sea of fire.
Ma Ji couldn't help but look happy when he saw this, and blurted out excitedly: "Master Kazekage!"
Sure enough, Lord Kazekage has the power to lead Sunagakure Village into the future!
But when Maki's face showed joy, he looked at "Kazekage-sama" with longing.
But suddenly he was shocked to find that Luo Sha's hands were still pressed to the ground.
A drop of cold sweat slowly slid down his solemn face.
"What's going on with this guy..."
Feeling the rapid flow of chakra in his body, Luo Sha couldn't feel any joy at all.
The Third Kazekage's Blood Succession Limit "Magnetic Release·Sand Iron" has the advantage of being light and flexible and can extract sand and iron in situ, but the disadvantage lies in the performance limitations of the sand and iron itself.
The advantages and disadvantages of Luo Sha's Blood Succession Limit "Magnetic Escape·Place Gold" are completely opposite to this.
Density, melting point, mass…
Although you can't squander it as you like, gold dust can be said to be extremely heavy-duty and indestructible.
But such a powerful sand gold was almost defeated by the fire escape ninjutsu.
Fire Release: Fire Release: Fire Release is just a fire release ninjutsu with level B difficulty in learning.
But the guy in front of him just used B-level ordinary ninjutsu with the momentum and power of forbidden jutsu!
From this point of view alone, the chakra control and amount of chakra are already terrifying.
boom!
!
In the end, placer gold was slightly better and barely extinguished the flames.
"Master Kazekage, how are you?"
Ma Ji suddenly came to Luo Sha's side, staring ahead warily and asked.
The solemn expression on Luo Sha's face did not change, and she just shook her head slightly to indicate that she was fine.
Immediately, he looked into the distance again and asked in a deep voice:
"Who are you, and why do you want to stop our Sunagakure's actions?"
This guy's fire escape skills are too strong.
Fortunately, Sunagakure Village's financial situation has become much richer recently, otherwise he would not be able to take so much placer gold out of the village.
Why would a ninja with such strength attack Sunagakure?
Was it a ninja sent by which village, or was it an enemy he encountered by chance?
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.
at this time.
The masked figure also slowly walked out of the dusty smoke screen.
"Should I say that he is worthy of being the Fourth Kazekage, one of the Five Kages?"
Looking at Luo Sha, who was a hundred meters away from him, Uchiha Izumi said with a brisk tone of appreciation: "You can test my current strength."
】
As he spoke, two traces of scarlet slowly emerged from the holes in the mask.
Feeling the familiar coldness, Luo Sha's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Who are you……"
He showed an expression of disbelief: "Are you Uchiha?!"
impossible!
How can it be? !
"There should be only two male members of the Uchiha clan left. Where did you, a woman with the Sharingan Eye, come from?!"
And this woman's goal is very clear, she is here for their Sunagakure mining team.
Could it be that Konoha not only inherited the technological heritage of Kong no Kuni, but even hid some of the Uchiha people?
But is the Greil Stone really worth exposing so many things to the outstanding people of Konoha?
Countless doubts suddenly flooded into Luo Sha's mind.
"Kazekage-dono, I must correct you a little."
Uchiha Izumi spoke in a serious tone, "The orthodoxy of the Uchiha clan is not in Konoha now!"
"The Uchiha flame never dies!"
As he spoke, the scarlet light of the Sharingan under the mask became stronger and stronger, and the three magatama began to rotate and fuse rapidly.
Finally, it gradually turned into a complex spiral pattern, and a strong sense of oppression burst out from her body.
boom!
At the same time, a dark red rib shadow was projected from her body,
Substantial dark red chakra surged 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, Rasha couldn't help but take a few steps back in shock, and murmured with surprise: "Is this the Mangekyō Sharingan?!"
"Who the hell are you?!"
This woman is not just an ordinary Uchiha, she actually has the same Mangekyō Sharingan as the clan-destroying Itachi! ?
When did such a strong person emerge quietly in the ninja world?
"Chiyue, Yue reads your destiny!"
Izumi Uchiha crossed his arms across his chest and said with a bit of madness in his voice: "Your Majesty Kazekage, please enlighten me!"
As the words fell, the dark red chakra giant also raised his arm.
Then, he took heavy shots at Luo Sha and Ma Ji!
Luo Sha came back to her senses and her heart suddenly sank.
"Maki! Back off!"
Without looking back, he reminded him and quickly began to form seals with his hands.
The placer gold behind him began to gather toward the sky, condensing into a thick and huge placer gold cube, and violently crashed into the skeletal fist from the air.
Peng!
!
Kakakacha!
In an instant, the placer gold flew in all directions, and the dark red skeleton shattered.
………………
At the same time, a carriage carrying luggage and supplies was traveling at the border between the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Fire.
In the carriage, the old man with a drunken nose drank wine "gudonggudong".
"Let me tell you, our country is very powerful and rich..." His face turned red and he kept talking about his hometown.
Kakashi, who was standing outside the carriage, frowned when he heard that the old man's country was located in the south.
"Old man, is the southern country you are talking about located in the south of the Fire Country?"
He already had a general understanding of the situation of this S-level mission.
His mission goal this time was to safely escort the old man to the Kingdom of Sichuan.
However, since the mission level is S-level, it cannot be that simple.
This dishonest old man appears to be a caravan leader, but is actually a descendant of an ancient empire and holds the specific location of the ruins of that ancient empire.
In a canyon at the junction of the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Wind, the civilizational ruins of the ancient empire are hidden there.
It was an ancient empire that once had a brilliant civilization, but has now been lost in history.
As for the reason for annihilation...
"Hahaha, hiccup~"
The old man was obviously a little drunk, and he laughed triumphantly and said: "Mr. Ninja, this world is not just the Land of Fire, nor is it just one continent!"
"Across the southernmost sea of the Country of Fire, you can see many broken islands. That was our former hometown."
Kakashi couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "You are from another continent?"
Yamato, who was silent next to him, was also surprised when he heard this.
Because of the endless wars and conflicts in the ninja world, countries are wary of and hostile to each other.
Although they often leave the village to perform tasks, they have never crossed the sea.
So in their opinion.
Except for the continent where they are located, the south of the continent is the endless sea.
But let’s take it from the old man’s words.
There used to be a piece of land there, and even a huge empire was established there, but for what reason was it destroyed?
"Hiccup~ Why are you making such a fuss?"
Seeing Kakashi so surprised, the old man suddenly became even more proud.
"Although you, the five major countries, are ruling the ninja world now, my ancestors also chopped down jungles, dug mountain roads, filled rivers, and established a splendid civilization. The resources of an entire continent belong to us."
"Wells that never run dry, livestock that grow overnight, and endless food, the cornerstone of all of this is... ugh!"
The old man raised his head and was talking happily.
But as he was talking, the words on his lips suddenly stopped, and he even woke up from the wine in an instant.
"Um?"
Kakashi was also stunned when he saw this, and said in a confused tone: "Old man, what's wrong?"
"Ah hahaha, what are you talking about?"
The old man scratched the back of his head and pretended to be confused: "What did I just say? How could I forget it?"
Kakashi frowned and was about to ask.
However, he heard a loud snoring coming from the carriage, directly interrupting Kakashi's words that were already on his lips.
"This old guy is really..."
Kakashi's dead eyes twitched, and he began to think secretly in his heart.
This S-level mission is obviously not simple.
But for some reason, the Third Hokage didn't say it directly.
There is also the rise and fall of that ancient empire. The old man has been avoiding the important issues intentionally or unintentionally just now.
Perhaps the Third Hokage made some kind of deal with the old man, and the content of the deal was related to something he deliberately concealed.
"Oh! It's really troublesome."
Kakashi looked troubled and sighed secretly: "If I had known better, I would have found a reason to refuse..."
There was always an ominous premonition in his heart.
I'm afraid this mission won't be easy.
……………………
Starting from the shortest road, the mining team composed of more than a dozen Iwagakure ninjas has been heading towards Kawa no Kuni at full speed.
Except for a ten-minute stopover to rest and eat, the rest of the time was spent on the road.
For ninjas, this is the most basic basic skill. Ninjas who go out on missions all year round will not waste time and energy on resting and eating.
This also allowed them to arrive at the border of Sawa Country before dawn.
"team leader."
An Iwagakure ninja walked up to the leader of the mining team, pointed in the direction ahead and reported: "We will reach the Kawanoguni Canyon if we walk another ten kilometers."
"Go ahead and slow down."
Captain Iwagakure waved his hand and said: "Relax for a while, let the advance team go to the front to explore, adjust before entering the country of Kawakawa."
"yes."
The Iwa ninja nodded and turned away to convey his order.
After the order was conveyed, the team gradually stopped moving forward and began to set up camp on the spot.
Medical supplies, food, water, tents and other supplies are all ready.
The Kingdom of Earth is different from the recent Kingdom of Fire and Kingdom of Wind.
They have no logistical supplies and support, so they must ensure that the team can maintain sufficient fighting energy after entering the country of Sichuan.
They have already played out countless times in their minds about the battle they may face next.
There is no need to consider the possibility of failure at all, just think about how much benefit they will ultimately gain as a winner. This is the most important thing.
Because their Tsuchikage-sama has made all arrangements.
After Captain Iwagakure arranged everything, he walked towards the two people dressed strangely behind the team.
He handed the food and water to the two of them, and said in a neither humble nor condescending tone: "Two adults, thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome, it's your duty."
Kakuzu took the food and water and said in a cold tone: "We will help you get rid of all the obstacles as agreed. Don't forget the reward after we finish."
Scorpion, who was hiding in the amber, said angrily: "Hurry up and end it, it's so boring!"
Hearing Xia's contempt, Captain Iwagakure's face darkened slightly.
But after a moment, he smiled and said: "Then the rest of the journey will be troublesome for you two. We will definitely pay you a satisfactory commission."
Although I was a little dissatisfied with the attitude of the two rebellious nins in front of me.
However, the strength of these two guys can still be trusted.
………………
at the same time.
A three-person Iwagakure advance team has arrived in Kawa no Kuni to investigate the surrounding situation.
While walking, an Iwa ninja slapped the person next to him with his arm.
"Hey, you said..."
He asked in a curious tone: "Did you hear the explosion when we left the village?"
"Nonsense, such a loud explosion can be heard from miles away."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
Iwa Ninja smiled playfully and said, "It's probably that brat Deidara who did it again. Let me tell you, he... huh?"
Just as he was about to say something to the person next to him, the other Iwa ninja suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?"
Seemingly sensing something strange in his expression, Iwa Ninja also frowned and asked.
"Didn't you notice?"
The Iwa Ninja looked around and asked without looking back: "Is it too quiet around here?"
The other two people were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they immediately reacted.
Indeed, too quiet.
It was even eerily quiet.
It was early in the morning, how could there not even be any insects chirping?
"Wait, there's someone in front."
The solemn words came from the mouth of the Iwa ninja who was responsible for perception.
"Is there anyone?"
"...No, did you see it wrong?"
The two Iwa nin followed his gaze, but saw only swaying trees and shadows.
Against the backdrop of the moonlight, there were only shadows that were constantly shaking, and rustling branches and leaves, like monsters that chose people to eat.
"No, I really feel it."
Although he couldn't see it in his field of vision, the Sensing Ninja was very sure.
A figure must have flashed past just now.
The two rock ninjas next to them frowned and began to become nervous when they looked at the solemn expressions of their companions.
Cold sweat streamed down unnaturally on my forehead, a gurgling sound came from my throat, and I suddenly felt a tingle in my heart.
Could it be that you have seen a ghost?
