The terrifying fluctuations of Jiumahe's "ultra-high-heat particle breath", as well as the shrill roars and screams of the Four Tails, directly spread throughout the area thousands of meters away.
Under the violent tremors of the earth, the house swayed to a degree visible to the naked eye, and passers-by who were originally walking on the road also staggered.
"what happens?"
"Is there an earthquake?"
The people who fell to the ground all looked at the direction of the loud noise in bewilderment.
After a while, as if he suddenly realized something, his uneasiness finally broke out.
Hoarse shouts and panicked footsteps filled the streets and alleys, plunging the entire Kawa Country into huge chaos.
Kakashi and Kakashi, who were observing in the dark, also looked over in shock.
However, because they were far apart, they, like the bewildered villagers, could not see what was happening in the distance.
Only a streak of crimson light like a meteor could be seen, cutting through the black curtain of the entire night sky from top to bottom.
"...Is that the direction and location of the border of Kawa no Kuni?"
Just slightly estimating the distance of the explosion, Kakashi was shocked by the power of the attack for a long time.
Isn't this too over the top?
"As for it?"
Yamato's eyes twitched and he said, "Is the Greer Mine really worth so many people fighting for?!"
He knew very well how strong he and Kakashi were.
Under normal circumstances, they are just ordinary elite jounin.
And there are also an assassin type and an auxiliary type elite jonin.
Therefore, the current terrifying battle fluctuations naturally caused strong uneasiness in his heart.
at this time.
Boom!
There was a sudden roar in the distant valley, and the ground that had just stopped trembled slightly.
Both Kakashi and the silent old man subconsciously followed the sound.
I saw that all the aliens wearing armor boarded the battleship and slowly sailed away from the valley amidst the dust raised.
"Leaving now?"
Kakashi was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "The alien and that guy should have a hostile relationship, right?"
Has one of the two parties already won, or are the two parties temporarily cooperating?
"Hurry up, follow up quickly, we can't let them find the vein of Grayl Stone before us!"
The dazed old man on the side also came to his senses, and quickly said to Kakashi with a look of panic on his face: "If only those aliens find the Greer mine, then there may be some room for redemption, but if it falls into the hands of some people, In the hands of unscrupulous ninjas, they will definitely drag the entire ninja world into the quagmire of war!"
Kakashi turned to look at Yamato and asked: "What do you think of the strength of the aliens who use the Grayl Stone?"
Yamato thought for a moment and slowly replied: "Those foreign races seem to be able to perform some strange and weird ninjutsu without forming seals, but in fact they are not very strong, at most they are at Chunin level."
Hearing this, Kakashi shrugged at the old man.
The old man couldn't help but choke back the words he spoke.
The last old face flushed red, and he could only hold back the sentence "You will regret it."
Kakashi hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The Grayl Stone may not be that magical, but you can't just watch them take it away."
After all, they are still unable to judge the true power of the Grayl Stone, nor are they sure whether the aliens will target Konoha after obtaining the mineral veins.
Therefore, as ninjas of Konoha, they must get to the bottom of it, even if they take risks.
"We should be able to find the location of the mineral vein by quietly following those aliens."
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Time was running out, so the two of them, Kakashi, took turns carrying the old man on their backs, and followed the traces of the battleship moving on land.
As expected.
The three of them soon followed the alien warship all the way to the outside of a canyon.
"The veins of Grayl Stone are in this canyon?"
Seeing Kakashi asking himself, the old man said calmly: "I, I don't know either."
Just when Kakashi wanted to ask further questions, Yamato suddenly stiffened.
Then he forcibly lowered his voice and patted Kakashi hurriedly.
"Wait a minute! Kakashi!"
There was unconcealable fear in his tone: "Look, that guy is dressed like Chi Yue's Tianzhi Yuzhong?"
Kakashi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked up with a changed expression.
I saw a man wearing a three-eyed cat-face mask among the group of aliens.
The middle-aged man dressed as the leader of the alien tribe talked to them with a smile. The group of people soon walked into a hidden cave next to the rock wall and disappeared into the canyon.
For a moment, Kakashi and Yamato couldn't help but look at each other, both seeing the solemnity and seriousness in each other's eyes.
"Has Chiyue also set her sights on the veins of the Grayl Stone?"
Kakashi said in a low tone: "If this happens, things will be troublesome."
Over the years, the "Red Moon" organization has not been active in the ninja world, but every time it appears, it is accompanied by bloody events.
According to all the information they currently know about "Red Moon", Tianzhi Yuzhong's strength is at least the top among "shadows".
Just based on what he and Yamato said, I'm afraid...
"One more thing, don't forget."
Kakashi smiled helplessly: "There was a fierce battle at the border of Kawa no Kuni. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that other people from the Akatsuki organization took action."
Yamato's dead face also became paler.
The last thing that Chi Yue took a fancy to was the artifact created by the legendary Immortal of Six Paths, which was said to be the Box of Bliss that could fulfill all wishes.
"The value of the Grayl Stone may be far more important than we think."
He didn't believe that a rare mineral vein was worth sending out several members of the always mysterious "Red Moon".
Since it has some involvement with the Chiyue Organization, it cannot be treated as an ordinary reconnaissance mission.
Kakashi quietly channeled a ninja dog, then wrote the information on a scroll and asked it to pass it back to Konoha.
In this way, even if they have an accident, the village will not be left in the dark.
"Let's go."
Kakashi breathed a long sigh of relief and took steps forward with a reminder.
But after taking a few steps forward, he suddenly realized that Yamato had not followed.
He was stunned for a moment, and turned his head in confusion.
"Yamato?"
Yamato looked down at his body and frowned tightly.
"Kakashi..."
"I feel like the pillar cells in my body are longing for things in the canyon."
………………
Meanwhile, Menma and Hyde's gang were strangely quiet.
All the way to the deepest part of the underground ruins, in front of you is a stone platform composed of three giant stone pillars with exquisite relief carvings, and a bottomless abyss in the distance.
Hyde did not hesitate, walked directly to the stone platform, and pulled the relief.
Katcha!
With a clear sound of the machine.
The entire stone platform suddenly trembled, and then it slowly sank with everyone.
The underground space of this ancient ruins was far larger than they imagined.
As the stone platform sank rapidly, Hyde always had a faint smile on his face.
But the eyes that looked at the numbness in front of him were filled with uncontrollable boiling murderous intent.
Now that we have successfully arrived at the underground ruins, we need to find an opportunity to get rid of this annoying guy.
Menma felt the cold gaze behind him and just smiled inwardly without caring.
He shook the Grayl Stone in his hand, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.
This thing is not much different from what he expected. It is indeed an ore that stores and absorbs natural energy.
However, the natural energy inside still contains some "impurities". If it is not guided and utilized correctly, the body will mutate into animal form like aliens.
If this point is ignored, a genin who obtains the Grayl Stone will be able to use chunin-level ninjutsu.
If they, the Snow Country, could obtain the veins of the Grayl Stone, they could use advanced technology to install it on armor and create an alien army with all Chuunin and Jonin strength.
However, this method of use is to encourage growth, and it is not certain whether it will cause harm to the human body.
Just when Menma was thinking about it.
The sinking speed of the stone platform gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at the palace-like entrance.
"It seems that this is where it is, with enough power to conquer the world."
Hyde murmured and walked to the palace door step by step, stretched out his trembling hands and pushed open the dusty door.
Kakakacha~
As the door opened, the vast underground palace was revealed to everyone.
In this underground palace that exudes an ancient atmosphere, the surrounding walls are covered with murals, recording the history of an ancient empire from its rise to its decline.
"Is this the ancient technique that can channel the so-called 'Cave of Time and Space' into a different space?"
Looking at the magic formation in the center of the palace, Menma felt a little curious for a moment.
In fact, there are many different spaces in this world itself. For example, Miaomu Mountain, Shibone Forest, and Ryūchi Cave are different spaces adjacent to the ninja world.
Another example is Uchiha Obito's Kamui Space, and Uchiha Nobu's Thousand Blades Space.
As for the ancient magic technique from the ancient empire in front of him, Menma could indeed see the shadow of many magic techniques, including necromancy.
"It seems that the ancient empire still has something to offer!"
Discovering an unowned alien space and using magic to connect it to the ninja world is no simple matter.
At least in the fields of sealing and necromancy, that empire did have its own uniqueness.
However, this technique was originally used by the ancient empire to seal the Grayl Stone, which was a waste of natural resources for Menma.
"It is an unowned and alien space similar to the three holy places. Of course it will be used to compete for resources with those beasts."
Menma had long wanted to develop his own magical technique in addition to the three holy land systems.
This requires a large number of "guinea pigs" to conduct experiments, and establishing the "Fourth Holy Land" is undoubtedly the best way.
Just when Menma was thinking secretly.
All the foreigners had drawn out various weapons and surrounded him from all directions.
Menma finally came back to his senses and looked at Hyde with interest: "Can you finally bear it?"
Hearing this, Hyde chuckled disdainfully and said: "Although it has no effect, I still appreciate your stupidity, but for the sake of the great ideal country, please sacrifice yourself here."
】
Hyde also raised his right arm towards Menma without hesitation.
The Greyel Stone placed on the back of his hand shimmered, and the air suddenly seemed to be squeezed hard, and an air cannon like a vacuum wave hit Menma.
And as his words fell, it was as if sparks ignited explosives.
"kill!
"
"Kill him!
"
All the aliens roared in unison and rushed towards Menma, as if they were emboldened.
When Hyde saw that the masked figure seemed to have no reaction and was still standing there dumbly, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little joyful.
"Succeeded!"
But the next moment, the smile froze on his face.
Chakra emitting golden light surged out of Menma's body, and the golden skeleton began to materialize around him.
The air cannon hit the chakra skeleton and disappeared into the air without any effect.
"Is this how you use the Grayl Stone?"
The power and speed of this attack may not be weak, but the method of using it is too crude, and in Menma's opinion, it is not worth mentioning.
"You have no idea of true power."
Looking at the dozen aliens rushing towards him, Menma pulled out a disdainful smile, and the three Magatama Sharingan in his right eye flashed with a coquettish blood.
boom!
!
The terrifying chakra fluctuations completely erupted, turning into flesh and blood meridians covering the skeleton, and finally grew into a huge half-length golden giant.
In an instant, the aliens who rushed up showed expressions of astonishment.
The golden giant sword in the hand of the half-length giant swung out, and the golden sword light carrying a terrifying aura was like sweeping away dust and garbage, cutting off all the aliens who had no time to dodge.
Seeing that he could not dodge the blow, Hyde, who looked horrified, pulled the two aliens beside him to block him without hesitation.
"S-Sir?!"
"You...ah!
"
In an instant, the slash directly cut off the two aliens who had not yet reacted.
But with the cushioning of two "flesh pads", Hyde's chest was still embedded into the stone wall by the impact, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Monster! Monster!"
"What the hell is this?!"
"How is that possible, just a ninja?!"
The remaining surviving aliens had a look of fear on their faces, and their knowledge of ninjas was instantly shattered into rubbish.
The shrill screams, horrific scenes, and pungent blood were all intertwined together.
However, as Menma slashed, the gravel on the palace stone wall gradually peeled off.
A piece of crystal stone embedded in the mountain, exuding a pale green halo like emerald, gradually emerged, illuminating the dim palace.
"This power...is this the true power of the Grayl Stone?"
Under the illumination of this blue-green light, Hyde, who had several broken ribs, slowly stood up.
The Greel veins resonated violently with the Greel Stone on the back of his hand, and the huge chakra contained in the veins began to flow into his body through the Greel Stone.
"I feel it! Hahaha! Power, power is pouring into my body!
"
Feeling the constant influx of power into his body, Hyde's eyes became more and more intense as he looked at the Greer Mine.
"This feeling……"
Menma, who had been looking calm all the time, looked at the Greer Mine above his head, with a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes.
There are naturally no injuries on his body.
but……
The Sharingan that had been stuck in the three magatama, Tong Li was actually agitating crazily at this moment.
And this restlessness is becoming more and more obvious, and it is already touching the critical point.
——Mangekyo Sharingan.
