factory.

The roar of machinery never stopped. Even in the sewer located at the bottom of the factory, through the thick wall panels, the sound of mechanical operation could be heard from above.

A large number of figures in purple coats were running quickly through the wide sewer space, converging on a certain location with a very clear goal and starting to move forward.

As we get closer and closer to the target location, the mechanical roar in our ears seems to be a little far away and is no longer so clear.

In the space of the sewer, only dim lights are shining. Placed in the corner, there are water droplets on the pipes that are beginning to rust, and slowly drip down. The sound of water droplets is not obvious.

Just as the group of people were running forward, suddenly the fire in front of them shone brightly, and the flames that filled the entire sewer quickly rushed towards them.

The hot air made their throats feel dry, as if they had poured boiling water into their mouths, and the skin on their faces became extremely hot.

"Water escape·Water chaos!"

The endless turbulent water spurted out from the mouth of the leading ninja, and the chakra in his body was also rapidly consumed.

Being able to use simple C-level ninjutsu to such an extent that he could block all the flames filling the sewers with ease on his face proves that this is no ordinary ninja.

After the water and fire came into contact, white steam quickly filled the space, everyone was immersed in it, and the figures of the companions beside them became blurred.

"careful!"

As if sensing something approaching quickly, someone shouted loudly.

However, after he finished these words, a dark figure emerged in the steam, and then disappeared in a flash, and there was the sound of a body falling heavily to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of kunai and kunai clashing came from the thick steam, which was crisp and clear to the ears.

The leading ninja began to fight with others.

He sharply captured the traces of the person who attacked them, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his face was as cold as a piece of ice that would not melt, extremely cold.

"Thunder Escape..."

Just as he was preparing to release his ninjutsu, a scarlet gaze penetrated from the front, a dark gun barrel was pointed directly at his eyebrows, and the trigger was pulled.

boom!

The bullet carrying the electric light grazed the edge of his cheek, causing blood to spurt out.

The leading ninja rolled out and retreated to a safe area. He looked in the steam ahead in shock, looking for the location of the illusory figure.

"Are you looking for me?"

A cold voice came from behind, and the leading ninja suddenly changed his face and turned back.

However, it was a step too late.

With a pop, the kunai pierced into his chest, and it was covered with nerve-numbing thunder and lightning. It immediately covered his whole body, leaving him exposed to the dense current, and his body fell to his knees uncontrollably.

land.

What appeared in front of him was a girl with long black hair who was only fifteen or sixteen years old. The scarlet three-magatama Sharingan rotated in her eyes. One hand was empty, and the other hand held a short gun with a smoking muzzle.

A flintlock gun was pointed at his forehead.

The man gritted his teeth, but showed an unyielding look on his face, and remained silent, as if he had accepted his fate.

The ninjas who were following him around him had already stood there numbly, with either dementia or fear in their eyes. They were obviously trapped in some kind of powerful illusion and could not break free.

"Miss."

The ninjas from the Kingdom of Oni who were protecting the factory arrived late after the battle and stood beside the girl a little awkwardly. They wanted to come over to support them, but when they got here they discovered that all the stowaways who invaded the factory had already been killed by the girl alone.

All uniforms.

"You came just in time, these guys will be handed over to you for interrogation."

Kazuki ignored the embarrassment of these subordinate ninjas. To her, this was just a small warm-up, far from being called a battle.

"yes."

A Jonin from the Kingdom of Demons nodded.

Since the battle has nothing to do with them, then the interrogation work must be done well.

They happen to have a few ninjas who are good at interrogation. I don't believe that they can't pry out anything useful from these guys.

The Jonin of Oni Country took a step forward and looked at the leading male ninja. The other man's body had been paralyzed by Ichiki's Thunder Style. Not to mention his body, even the chakra in his body had lost control and fell to his knees.

You can't move there.

However, the purple coat worn by the male ninjas also had a purple waning moon mark embroidered on the back, which reminded the ninjas of the Ghost Country of something, and they looked surprised: "Are these guys from the Purple Moon Clan?"

"Purple Moon People?"

Yi Ji raised her eyebrows.

The Jonin of the Kingdom of Ghosts explained: "Yes, miss. The Purple Moon Clan was a large bounty hunter group that once ran rampant in the western part of the continent. It was very famous in the underground black market. It is said that at its peak, the group had as many as one hundred people.

There are many people, many wandering ninjas and samurai gathered together. Speaking of which, when the military was raiding underground black market strongholds in the western part of the mainland a few years ago, they had conflicts with many bounty hunter groups headed by the Ziyue Zhong."

And the results are obvious.

The Kingdom of Ghosts stands firm in the western part of the continent, and has the potential to suppress the two great powers of Fengtu, while the Purple Moon Clan is just a bounty hunter force in the underground black market, and the two are not on the same level at all.

The result was, of course, a complete victory for the Ghost Country's military. The bounty hunter team headed by the Purple Moon Zhong and active in the west of the main road suffered an unprecedented bloody suppression.

Either they will be arrested by the military and undergo labor reform, or they will be expelled from the territory of the Ghost Country.

That battle also directly caused Ziyue Zhong, a team of bounty hunters that once dominated the underground black market, to drop from first-rate to third-rate.

It can be said that there is an old grudge between the Purple Moon People and the Kingdom of Ghosts.

If it was for revenge against the Kingdom of Demons, it would not be impossible to attack the military factory established by the Kingdom of Demons in the Land of Waves.

"Is that so? If it's revenge, it would make sense. But I don't think a declining third-rate bounty hunter group can recruit master ninjas at the level of jounin."

Yiji glanced at the unyielding face of the male ninja for a while and expressed her opinion.

Although this male ninja was defeated by his own hands, the existence of a jounin does not mean that he is not strong.

More than 90% of ninjas can only linger in the chuunin and genin stages. Those who can become jounin are the elites selected from a hundred.

And since the Purple Moon Clan was crippled by the Ghost Country's military a few years ago, and now it's too late to lick their wounds, after clearly understanding the gap between them and the Ghost Country, she doesn't think these guys will come here to provoke the ghosts at will.

country.

Moreover, the person taking the lead is a powerful Jonin. This is not an existence that the declining Purple Moon Sect can recruit. Therefore, this situation is very problematic no matter how you look at it.

The Jonin of Oni Country nodded, and he understood Ichiki's concerns.

The Purple Moon Clan has long since declined. Those who attacked the Ghost Country's military factories may not necessarily be Purple Moon Clan's bounty hunters. They may also be Purple Moon Clan pretending to have a quarrel with the Ghost Country to deceive others.

"Then I'll leave it to you. It seems that it's not just the Anbu and Roots of Konoha who are eyeing the arms design drawings in this factory. Maybe ninjas from other major countries will also get involved. It's really interesting."

Yiji smiled softly, turned around and left without any fuss.

"Kakashi-sensei, I have completely mastered the tree climbing you mentioned! What do you think, I am very good!"

Naruto was dirty and had a lot of dust on his face, but he hung upside down on the branch with his feet looking excited and did not fall off the branch.

It was obvious that after several days of unremitting efforts, he had mastered the trick of climbing trees with his feet.

Currently showing off to Kakashi.

"Hmm, great, great."

Kakashi nodded, as if he really thought Naruto's behavior was awesome.

In fact, it took several days to learn the skill of climbing trees, which really left Kakashi at a loss what to say.

You know, Sakura only tried three times before she completely mastered the trick of climbing a tree, which took no more than five minutes in total.

He didn't know what Naruto had in mind to show off his 'talent' here.

In terms of chakra control, Kakashi believed that Naruto really had no talent.

In this way, every time you use ninjutsu, you will definitely waste a lot of chakra.

However, this kind of trouble of wasting a lot of chakra is indeed a problem for ordinary ninjas. But for Naruto, it is not a so-called problem at all.

Kakashi thought that Naruto's chakra level at the moment might be at the same level as him, or even slightly superior.

Even if he inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, the chakra possessed by Naruto was too abnormal.

It's not like the amount of chakra a genin can hold.

In the future, Naruto may be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure Village, possessing tailed beast-level chakra.

This possibility seems very high to Kakashi.

Not to mention, there is a terrifying and powerful tailed beast hidden inside Naruto - the Nine-Tails.

The potential is hard to estimate.

"Kakashi-sensei, what training are we going to do next?"

Naruto jumped down from the tree and came to Kakashi and asked.

Sakura, like Naruto, looked at Kakashi.
