"What's going on with this vibration?"

In the dark woods, the three Sasukes who were walking forward looked at the birds flying away from the woods, as if they sensed something extremely terrifying, and they began to flee one after another.

Although he didn't know what happened, Sasuke clearly felt that the air in the woods became heavier.

"I don't know, it might be an earthquake. You also know that in an island country, earthquakes are common, so don't make a fuss here."

Qianno said nonchalantly.

Sasuke frowned, he didn't believe what Chino said.

Although an earthquake is possible, I always feel like something is not quite right.

As far as he knew, the Country of Waves was not an island country prone to earthquakes.

Moreover, this feeling that something was wrong had lingered in his mind from the moment he stepped into the Country of Waves.

Saying that, Qianno stopped moving forward.

Seeing Qianno stop, Sasuke and Sakura had no choice but to stop too.

"What's wrong, Miss Qianno?"

Sakura asked.

Qianno didn't speak, but glanced towards the surrounding dark jungle.

Figures moved out one after another, with malicious smiles, facing Qianno and the others.

Sasuke and Sakura immediately took out their kunai and looked warily at the group of unkind attackers.

"It seems that Konoha's reward of one million taels is not so easy to get. According to my secret knowledge, you two can find the yellow-haired fool who was captured by walking along this route. This group of

I will stop them for you and deal with them, then I will help you again."

"But, Miss Qianno, you are alone..."

Sakura was a little worried about whether Qianno could stop so many people by herself.

"I'm the leader of the Lightning Regiment. Don't treat me like a third-rate pawn with no reputation. Also, don't force yourself, little Sasuke."

Qianno glanced at Sasuke with a half-smile.

Sasuke snorted.

"Let's go, Sakura."

With that said, Sasuke continued to move forward, and Sakura hesitated for a moment before following Sasuke's footsteps.

"Stop them!"

The attackers swarmed forward, and Qianno cut his finger with a kunai without hesitation, and blood dripped from the wound on his finger.

boom!

A huge blood dragon lay across the path of the attackers, intercepting them all.

The blood dragon raised its proud head, and Qianno stood on it, looking down at the group of attackers who were scattered by the blood dragon, his eyes filled with blood.

"Miss Qianno...so amazing!"

Sakura, who was moving forward, looked back and was surprised to see Qianno summoning the bleeding dragon and fending off dozens of enemies.

From that blood dragon, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Sasuke also glanced back at the blood dragon, then turned his head and turned his attention to the road.

After passing through this land, we reached the sea of ​​the Country of Waves. The middle-aged man looked at the trees drifting backwards to the left and right, and estimated the distance in his mind.

As long as he reaches the sea, he can leave the country of waves on a prepared ship.

Even Hatake Kakashi couldn't hope to find him from the huge sea area.

Naruto, who was trapped under his arm, didn't know the middle-aged man's inner thoughts.

He only knew that when no one came to support him, he could only save himself.

Not even close! He felt that the restraint on the rope was getting looser and looser. Although Naruto couldn't see it, cracks began to appear on the rope due to the slow friction of wind chakra.

Naruto did this very carefully, and in order not to make the middle-aged man suspicious, he kept his body struggling slightly and kept making whining sounds from his mouth, making the middle-aged man lower his vigilance.

"arrive."

At the end of the woods, one can already see the scenery of the coast of the Country of Waves.

The endless sea, seagulls flying on the sea, the scenery is pleasant.

There was also a slight smile on the middle-aged man's expressionless face.

As long as the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki is successfully extradited back to the country, his mission will be completed.

Regardless of Konoha or the Demon Country's military, the only absolute winner of this operation is Kumogakure.

If he can use the power of Nine Tails for his own use next, Kumogakure's power will rise to a higher level again.

In that case, Kumogakure will have three tailed beasts, including the strongest Nine Tails.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel excited.

That's it now! When the middle-aged man was wandering around the glorious scene of Kumogakure suppressing the two great powers of Will-o'-the-Wisp, Naruto's eyes burst out with light.

Under the unremitting friction of the wind attribute chakra, the rope completely split.

Without hesitation, he used all his strength to break free from the middle-aged man's arm.

The middle-aged man felt a violent struggle coming from his arm and lowered his head in shock.

Poof!

Blood splatters!

Naruto held the kunai he quickly took out from his ninja bag and aimed it at the middle-aged man's face.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The miserable screams echoed throughout the woods.

The middle-aged man covered the bleeding wound on his face with both hands. A long and narrow blood streak extended along his chin to his right eye.

The other party's distorted face was as hideous and terrifying as an evil ghost.

Naruto fell to the ground, coughed, and glanced at the middle-aged man with some fear. The murderous aura emanating from the other man's body made his body tremble.

This was definitely not an opponent that he could face head-on! Naruto was sure of this.

Since the sneak attack failed to defeat the opponent, there is only one option left.

Throw the blood-stained kunai in your hand towards the opponent's body, causing the opponent to dodge sideways in embarrassment, then turn around and escape into the depths of the woods without hesitation, and then take out a kunai with a detonating talisman hanging from the ninja bag.

Throw it into the air with all your strength.

Boom!

The kunai exploded in the sky, making a huge noise.

"Damn the nine-tailed brat! I'm going to crush all your limbs!"

The ninja was in pain of losing his right eye. The middle-aged man's face was ferocious, and he looked towards the direction of Naruto's escape with murderous intent. The murderous intention in his heart was brewing to the limit.

After saying that, the middle-aged man ran wildly, chasing Naruto, and at the same time took out a bandage, wrapped it around the wound, and performed simple treatment to stop the bleeding.

Although there was still a lot of bleeding and his head was a little unclear, he had spent so much effort to steal the opponent out from under Kakashi Hatake's nose, and there was absolutely no room for failure.

A series of thunderous noises turned into extremely terrifying sound waves in the explosion.

Accompanied by the impact of the sound waves produced by the explosion, the violent hurricane raged across the land and ravaged everything.

In the territory where the factory is located, the ground trembles violently, and huge cracks spread from the center of the sound waves generated by the explosion to the surrounding areas, until they extend to a place a hundred meters away, and there is still no tendency to stop.

This shaking feeling even spread to the surrounding forest area.

The wild beasts ran for their lives, and the birds flapped their wings and flew away from the battlefield area that had turned into a disaster place.

"To this extent - ugh!"

Under the impact of the terrifying explosion, the blue cat used his strong body to erupt with considerable materialized chakra, blocking the waves of incoming sound waves. However, the shocks caused by the explosion came one after another, without any impact at all.

A chance to breathe.

The depressed voice leaked out of his mouth unnaturally, and his face became even more twisted and ferocious, with heterochromatic eyes mixed with pain and cruelty, staring at the person and beast in the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, the kunai carrying lightning like laser rain flying out from the scroll finally bottomed out.

Amidst the violent and thunderous bombardment, the offensive came to an abrupt end.

The dust was thick and thick, and Nekomata, who was at the center of the attack, could no longer be seen, covered by the dust.

The scroll floating in the air lost its supply of Ichichakra and fell to the ground helplessly, unable to be used again.

"Did you make it?"
