Like a figure in the wind, swooping down from the sky.

Yamazaki Hisashi, who was patrolling the sky, discovered the headless corpse whose head was blown off by Sai with a sniper rifle.

It was basically impossible to look directly at the area above the neck. The trees and the ground were also splashed with a large amount of bright red. In the hands of the corpse, a blue three-pronged sword was tightly held.

"This is it."

Yamazaki Jiu used the flying ninja tool on his back to fly into the low air and move forward along the horizontal line. In the blink of an eye, he covered a distance of more than ten meters and reached out to grab the headless corpse.

Then the flying ninja behind him began to spray white rising gas, and under the powerful thrust, the body quickly rose into the sky.

at this time--

"Wood Release: The Technique of the Great Forest!"

Long snake-like wooden vines came from the dark depths of the forest and wrapped around Yamazaki's body.

Yamazaki was startled, and without hesitation, a silver metal ball fell out of his left hand and flew away.

The metal ball collided with the wooden vines, and with a bang, a violent impact of flames erupted, covering the wooden vines that attacked him in the wave of fire and burning them to ashes.

The fire exploded, illuminating the late night woods as bright as daylight, and soon dimmed again.

Yamazaki Hisashi didn't dare to stop when he saw this scene. Driven by the flying ninja tool, his body quickly rose into the air and flew away towards the west with the body.

Not long after Yamazaki Jiu flew away, Tenzo and Sakura flew over. Tenzang looked at Yamazaki Jiu who had already flown into the air and squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I remember that he is a genin from the Kingdom of Demons, and his name seems to be Yamazaki Ku. Could it be that the one who captured Naruto was..."

At this time, Sakura recognized the identity of Hisashi Yamazaki. She had met this person when she took the chunin exam in the Kingdom of Demons.

He is good at operating ninja tools, and he can also use his speed to get close to the enemy and use explosives to surprise the opponent. He is a tough ninja.

"No, it wasn't the ninjas from the Oni Country who kidnapped Naruto. It was the Shitenjojo from the Takunin Village."

Sai came out of the darkness at this time. After watching all this, he shook his head and rejected Sakura's point of view.

"Four Elephants?"

"The body that was taken away was one of the members of the Four Elephants. There is information about these four people in the root intelligence network. The person who attacked Naruto and took him away should be one of the Four Elephants.

wrong."

Sai explained.

"Then let's go to the Artisan Ninja Village to ask for someone."

When Sakura was about to take action, Tenzo stopped her and said, "It's useless to look there. The Shitenzomon are outliers from the Craftsman Ninja Village. Although they are not rebels, their relationship with the Craftsman Ninja Village is very different.

.Because the Takumi Ninja Village has always been an internationally neutral ninja village, but the Shitenjoshi people are rare radicals in the Takumi Ninja Village...Sai, do you know the purpose of taking Naruto away?"

Tenzo turned to look at Sai.

Sai thought for a moment and replied: "It should be for the powerful power in Naruto's body that does not yet belong to him. According to the information collected by Genbu, the Shitenjo people have been searching for huge chakra energy in the ninja world to complete the task.

Something unknown."

After hearing these words, Tianzang's face couldn't help but darken...

The target is indeed Naruto's tailed beast.

"Captain, I'll leave it to you to request support. I must complete the tasks assigned by Danzo-sama."

After Sai finished speaking, the figure quickly ran out and started taking action.

"Wait, Sai, don't—"

Sakura wanted to call out to Sai, but Sai turned a deaf ear and continued to run out. For him, protecting Naruto is the most important thing right now.

All other things are secondary.

"That guy is really..."

Tenzo was also a little helpless towards Saoi's arbitrary attitude.

However, this is also a style unique to the roots.

For them, completing the task is the most important thing.

"Sakura, I..."

"Hey, what is this?"

Sakura's eyes suddenly lit up and she took two steps forward.

In front of her feet, there was something familiar to her.

She picked it up and took a closer look, only to realize that it was a palm-sized drawing book.

"Hmm, this seems to be Saoi's thing."

Tenzo walked over and took a look, and found that this painting book had been seen on Saoi's body before.

"Did you accidentally drop it while fighting the enemy just now?"

Sakura thought for a while and realized this was the only possibility.

"That should be it. Give this picture book to him later. The most important thing now is to find Naruto."

Tianzang did not delve into the matter of this picture book, but formed seals with his hands.

"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"

From the shoulder position of the body, a large number of trees suddenly appeared, and finally condensed into the appearance of Tenzo.

"This is……"

Seeing the two Tenzos in front of them who could not tell the real from the fake, Sakura was surprised.

"This is the Wood Clone Technique, which is more difficult to distinguish between true and false than the Shadow Clone Technique, and its mobility is wider than the Shadow Clone Technique. Next, he will go to the nearest Konoha ninja to seek support. Sakura,

You act together with me. I'm worried that Sai alone is no match for the remaining Four Elephants."

Being able to take Naruto away silently, Tenzo believed that this so-called Four Elephant Man should have some strength.

With Sai's strength alone, it would be very difficult to deal with them.

"yes!"

Sakura nodded.

◎

"Isn't that boy back yet?"

In the dark night forest, three figures were flying quickly, heading northwest.

The tall and thin man in the lead frowned and showed dissatisfaction when he saw that the short-haired boy who had led away the pursuers had not yet returned.

"Maybe it's just for fun. But with that ninja tool here, no matter how many ninjas come to Konoha, they will all be killed in the end."

The woman standing on the right said in a confident tone.

At the same time, she also held the two swords in her hands tightly, raising the corners of her mouth slightly in a cruel smile.

"I hope so. I always feel that things will not be that simple. The ninjas of Konoha are still very difficult to deal with."

The sturdy man on the left side of the tall and thin man turned his head and said something.

He wore a white armor with a tiger head on it, and held a long stick weapon in his hand, with a meteor hammer connected to the top of one side of the long stick.

On his left shoulder, he was carrying an unconscious person, and this unconscious person was Naruto...

Perhaps it was because the strong man was running too fast that the running was very bumpy, and Naruto soon woke up from his coma.

Um?

When Naruto woke up from a coma, he suddenly thought of something and began to struggle violently on the strong man's shoulders, trying to break free from the strong man's control in this way.

"Oh, are you awake, little brother? Shuihu, the medicine you gave him is not fake, is it?"

The woman on the right side of the tall and thin man said with a smile when she saw Naruto waking up so quickly.

"Peacock, don't talk nonsense here, I have used all the medicine." The strong man Shui Hu glanced at Naruto who was struggling on his shoulder, and also showed a puzzled look: "It's really strange, I used so many doses.

With the sleeping pills, he should lie down for a day and a night."

"Huh, it's probably because of the jinchūriki. It doesn't matter, soon, his power will be used by us."

The tall and thin man glanced at Naruto and sneered.

"This is not the way to go. Let's control his chakra first."

The water tiger felt that Naruto's struggle was getting stronger and stronger. Even if he was tied with a special rope, it might not be safe.

Thinking of this, the water tiger began to pour chakra into the tiger-shaped armor on his chest. In an instant, a strong suction force was generated on the armor, which acted on Naruto, sucking out the chakra from his body.

Naruto was completely panicked now. He felt that the chakra in his body was getting less and less. The armor on the water tiger was like a bottomless pit, swallowing the chakra in his body all the time.

Gradually, the strength of Naruto's struggle weakened, and his whole body collapsed on the water tiger's shoulders, losing the ability to resist.

"Haha, it's really full of chakra. It feels more satisfying than swallowing the chakra of a Jonin."

The water tiger felt a steady stream of chakra flowing from Naruto to himself, and burst out laughing heartily.
