Chapter 424 Tailed Beast

In the open woods, there are basically no figures to be seen.

In the depths of this forest, Naruto is the only one who exercises wind attribute chakra here.

Probably due to the long time of cultivation, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead due to the concentration of cultivation, and his breathing became faster than usual, so that his shoulders trembled subconsciously.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

It's Sasuke and Sakura.

Sasuke was holding a lunch box in his hand, and it was obvious that the two of them came to deliver food to Naruto.

"Give."

Walking closer, Sasuke passed the lunch box in front of Naruto with a calm face, letting him catch it.

"Oh, thank you so much for bothering you every time, Sasuke."

Naruto smiled and took the lunch box that Sasuke handed over, just as he was indeed a little hungry.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and said, "You're welcome, although we didn't have a good relationship in the past, but since we are a teammate now, it's nothing to help. Anyway, Kakashi asked me to ask you, how is your cultivation progress?"

Naruto frowned distressedly and replied: "It's still not going well, the condensation of wind attribute chakra is too difficult, and it may take a while before it can be used smoothly."

As he spoke, he scratched his scalp appropriately, as if troubled by this matter.

"In this case"

Halfway through Sasuke's words, he violently punched Naruto in the face.

Naruto was caught off guard, and his nosebleeds splattered immediately.

Sasuke didn't intend to stop, he turned around and kicked, hitting Naruto's chest, kicking his whole body out, smashing **** the tree trunk and rolling down.

"Sasuke!?"

Sakura was stunned by the scene in front of her. She didn't know why Sasuke hit Naruto so hard.

Even if he wanted to test Naruto's strength, he wouldn't be so cruel to his own people, right?

Naruto, who rolled down from the tree trunk, was rubbing his nose and covering his kicked chest, looking at Sasuke with a puzzled and painful expression.

The lunch box in his hand had already flown out and scattered all over the place.

"Sasuke, what are you doing all of a sudden?"

Facing Naruto's questioning, Sasuke's eyes looked very cold, with a strong fighting spirit.

Sakura sensed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and she slowly retreated to the side behind Sasuke, looking at Naruto with a rare look of vigilance.

"That guy Naruto will neither thank me, nor will he say anything frustrating when he is practicing."

Sasuke stared at him coldly.

Naruto's initial thank you just made him suspicious.

Next, when he asked about Naruto's cultivation progress, when the other party directly said some frustrating words that didn't match Naruto's usual, he was sure that Naruto in front of him was a counterfeit.

Because especially in front of him, Naruto would never do that, he would definitely say 'wait and see', 'I will definitely surpass you', such provocative and high-spirited slogans.

Being exposed by Sasuke in this way, the puzzlement and pain on Naruto's face disappeared immediately, and turned into a strange and hideous expression.

"So that's the case, I didn't expect this situation. As expected of the last descendants of the Konoha Uchiha clan..."

After finishing speaking, there was a bang, and smoke spread out beside Naruto, and a strange young man appeared there.

The nose is slightly red and swollen, obviously because of the scar left by Sasuke's fist.

"Who are you? Where did you hide the real Naruto?"

Sasuke asked.

The young man didn't answer Sasuke's question, but picked up Kunai from the ninja bag and rushed towards Sasuke and Sakura.

Seeing the young man rushing towards him without saying a word, Sasuke's eyes became even colder, and he rushed towards him unwilling to show weakness, forming seals with his hands.

"Art fire escape **** fireball!"

A huge scorching fireball spewed out from Sasuke's mouth. The young man in front of him was not low in strength. Sasuke didn't expect to use this move to solve the opponent, but just hoped to use the fire escape technique to create a huge movement here, attracting Kakashi to quickly come to support.

With him and Sakura to deal with this young man, I'm afraid they are powerless.

And he was a little worried about Naruto's situation at the moment.

At the very least, the identities of these people must be clarified.

Sasuke's flexible reaction was beyond the expectations of the young man. He originally wanted to use close combat to kill Sasuke and Sakura, but when Sasuke used such a powerful ninjutsu as fire escape, the nature of the matter was completely different.

Although he was left as a bait, he didn't want to die at all.

Facing that Hatake Kakashi, he basically has no way out.

The strength shown by Sasuke also means that the opponent is not a troublesome ninja that can be solved in a short time.

This kind of strength is already comparable to Chunin.

So, the moment Sasuke used the fire escape technique, he didn't hesitate or hesitate. He avoided the fireball, jumped sideways, and jumped into the depths of the dark forest in a blink of an eye, disappearing.

"Damn it!"

Sasuke didn't expect the other party to run away so decisively, not to tangle with him.

The fireball hit the tree, instantly burning the whole tree, and there was a violent explosion.

Shortly after the young man escaped, Kakashi rushed over. Seeing the remaining traces of the fire escape on the field and the chaotic footsteps, it was obvious that a battle had just taken place here.

He looked at Sasuke with a questioning look in his eyes.

Sasuke didn't hesitate, and quickly and concisely explained what happened just now.

Kakashi knew it well, and gave an order: "That guy asked me to chase, and you search for Naruto's traces from another route. According to the time, the guy who took Naruto may not be far away. When you find the enemy, don't be eager to fight, send a signal in time to let me know."

This is the best way when you are not sure about the number of enemies.

"Is it just the two of us, Mr. Kakashi?"

Sakura was a little apprehensive.

Obviously, the person who took Naruto was not an ordinary bandit or samurai, but a real ninja.

Once ninjas are involved, at least B-level tasks start, and it is not a difficult task that these ninjas can complete.

"I will ask the people from the Lei Guang Group to look for it together."

"Lei Guang Group?"

"They're mercenaries, so as long as they're paid, it's not a problem. I think they don't mind making some extra money at a time like this. Right, Chief Chino?"

After Kakashi's words fell to the ground, a crisp voice sounded:

"Mr. Kakashi seems to understand the rules of our bounty hunters very well. That's right, as long as the reward is sufficient, our Leiguang group is happy to serve Konoha."

The petite and cute baby-faced girl stood on the tree at some point, condescendingly looking down at the few people. She was also attracted by the explosion made by Sasuke's fire escape technique.

After all, this place is not far from the bridge. As long as the movement is a little louder, it is easy to detect the abnormality in the woods.

Sasuke and Sakura looked at Chino, and unlike Kakashi, the two of them always maintained a vigilance towards Chino, and even suspected that Naruto's disappearance was caused by the Lei Guangtuan.

Seeing Sasuke and Sakura's questioning gazes, Chino's cute doll face became distraught.

"Do you two think that it was our Lei Guang Regiment who kidnapped that idiot? It's really rude. Our Lei Guang Regiment are mercenaries, not human traffickers!"

Moreover, Konoha and Lei Guangtuan are currently in the honeymoon period of cooperation. With the reputation of Lei Guangtuan in the underground black market, it is impossible to do such a stupid thing to smash their own brand.

The stronger the bounty hunter team, the more attention it pays to reputation.

Because of the shattered word of mouth, no matter how powerful a bounty hunter is, it will be unanimously resisted by all employers and withdraw from the underground black market sadly.

Precisely because it is a lawless place, reputation is the basis for guaranteeing all cooperation premise, not strength.

"I'm sorry, they are also concerned about chaos, I know the credibility of Lei Guangtuan. How about this time, on behalf of Konoha, I will invest one million taels and entrust your Lei Guangtuan to help rescue my subordinates?"

Kakashi said.

Chino didn't think much, and nodded: "Yes."

Yunyin's people are attacking the military factory in the ghost country. At this time, there is no spare power to destroy the work on the bridge.

It seems that the Lei Guang Group is bound around the construction site of the bridge, but it is actually free now.

Furthermore, the reward of one million taels is not low.

In the official ninja village, one million taels is already the standard reward for S-level missions.

It is not easy to do in the underground black market for a reward of several million, or even tens of millions.

"Then, without further ado, let's start."

Kakashi nodded, and chased in the direction where the young man fled just now.

"You two come with me."

Sasuke and Sakura had no choice but to follow Chino's order.

This baby-faced girl is a jonin no matter what. With her following her, the safety factor of searching for Naruto's whereabouts is greatly increased.

Naruto woke up in a jolt.

Naruto woke up and instantly sensed something was wrong.

He was held in the arms of a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar appearance. There was a long and narrow scar on the man's right cheek, which made his appearance even more fierce in the dark environment.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Naruto wanted to yell loudly, but at this moment he found that his mouth was stuffed, and he could only make a small whine.

Out of caution, his hands and feet are now tied with strong hemp ropes, making it difficult to move.

Naruto recalled that he was too tired to practice before, when he was about to take a nap in the woods, he heard slight footsteps approaching him, and before he opened his eyes to take a closer look, he fell into a coma.

When I woke up, it became like this.

Therefore, no matter how slow Naruto was, he knew that he was being kidnapped at this time.

"Are you awake, Nine-Tails?"

The man noticed that Naruto in his arms began to struggle, trying to make a movement, so he lowered his head to look at Naruto while he was on his way.

Naruto widened his eyes and looked at the man in disbelief.

This guy... Naruto knows that there is a terrible monster-nine-tailed demon fox sealed in his body.

This matter should only be known to people in your own village.

But he had never seen the man who kidnapped him, so he probably wasn't from Muye Village.

"Wake up, if you don't want to suffer physical pain, then be honest. In order to ensure the integrity of Jinchuriki's body, I didn't cut off your hands and feet."

The man's tone was very cold.

Naruto couldn't help shivering. Although he didn't know if the man was trying to scare him, Naruto did feel a little fear in his heart.

But because of fear, giving up resistance or something, it is too out of style.

If Sasuke found out, he would definitely laugh at him for this matter.

However, both hands and feet are tied with ropes and knotted. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to break free.

Damn it, it would be great if there was a sharp weapon that can cut the rope in your hand. Naruto was troubled in his heart.

But how is that possible?

With his hands bound, he couldn't take out the kunai in his ninja bag.

And once there is a big movement, it will arouse the man's vigilance.

No matter how you choose, it seems to be a dead end.

Unless the hand can conjure a sharp blade that is not easy to see.

Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Hands...sharp...cuts...

Wind escape!

Naruto seemed to see a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

Although he is still not very proficient in wind escape during the training these days, the initially condensed wind attribute chakra actually has a strong cutting ability.

Using wind attribute chakra, it is not difficult to cut the hemp rope that binds your hands.

You just need to twist your palm to make it closer to the hemp rope, but the movement must be small.

Thinking of this, Naruto raised his head and took a sneak peek at the man, and found that the man's attention was basically on his way, and he didn't turn his attention too much to himself.

very good! Naruto, who discovered this, instantly condensed wind attribute chakra in his palm and began to save himself.

The factory was billowing with thick black smoke and flames, and the figures turned into two camps, fighting fiercely.

In a short time, flames, lightning, water flow, mudslides, and storms all appeared in the factory. In just a few rounds, the ground of the factory was basically lifted by the fighting sides.

The dark yellow ninja in her twenties with long braids avoided the attack of the ninjas of the ghost country, and used violence to open the black door of the manufacturing plant, and rushed in without saying a word.

Once inside, I found that in the manufacturing plant, except for the industrial machines that were still operating by themselves, the weapon accessories on the transport tracks had long since disappeared, and more than that.

In addition to the self-operating machine and the sound of the machine running, the factory building was actually empty and empty.

Oops!

Seeing this scene, the female ninja instantly realized that the weapon manufacturing plant was an empty shell. Except for some machines, the arms and weapons produced had already been transferred one step ahead of time.

This is a trap!

When she was about to exit, the whole factory building suddenly shook restlessly, the walls above and around it had terrible cracks, and pieces of rubble fell downward.

Boom!

It was too late to retreat, the huge factory collapsed in an instant, and countless rubble fell down, burying Nuren in the ruins.

The ghost country ninjas and attackers who were fighting outside couldn't help but look at the collapsed manufacturing plant when they heard this movement.

The assailants saw the multi-storey factory building that the girl entered just now, turned into ruins in an instant, and buried it alive in the ground, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Master Yumu!"

Shouting has an effect.

With a bang, the huge entity Chakra soared into the sky, and two blue tails that looked like giant pythons opened a big hole in the center of the ruins, rolling up countless dust.

There was an indescribable pressure in the air. Whether it was the ninja of the ghost country or the cloud hidden ninja who was the attacking party, it was difficult to breathe.

On the dusty ruins, a huge monster figure like a fortress loomed in the smoke and dust, and slowly emerged.

It was a blue cat with a huge body.

The blue patterned flames are burning on the body, and the breath does not know to converge at all.

The sky suddenly became cloudy, and lightning flashed faintly in the clouds.

The blue cat seemed to be stimulated by some kind of very angry, one yellow and one green pupils were full of awe-inspiring killing intent, and stared viciously at a certain position.

In that position, Kazuhime pressed the hilt of the Kusanagi sword with his palm, using his body to lightly block the amazing momentum of the Tailed Beast, and stood there with a smile as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't regard the blue cat with terrifying Chakra in front of him as a strong opponent.

Although she didn't say it out of her mouth, that's what the ninja who controls the huge blue cat and two tails thinks so.

Not only was she being teased, but she was forced out of the tail beast's real body early on, and she was also treated with such contempt. Yunyin, who had always been respected by others, felt an unprecedented humiliation!

Kill her! Once this idea arises, there is no way to get rid of it from her mind.

Humiliation can only be washed away with blood!

"Stay away!"

The blue cat spoke a female voice again, speaking to the cloud ninjas.

According to the original plan, they should break into the reference room in the military factory as quickly as possible, loot all the weapons manufacturing blueprints there, and then evacuate the factory as quickly as possible to avoid being entangled by people from the kingdom of ghosts.

But now it seems that this idea is too naive.

"yes!"

Hearing the order, the cloud hidden ninjas did not dare to stay. The trump card of their operationthe two-tailed jinchuriki and the two yuki figureshad completely liberated the power of the tailed beast in their bodies. Fighting in this situation is easily affected by the power of the tailed beast.

So, he immediately gave up the entanglement with the ninjas of the ghost country and withdrew from the territory of the factory.

However, when they were evacuating, the ninjas of the ghost country responded and chased after them, not intending to let them go so easily.

Yiji's order to them is to wipe out all the enemy troops, not to let one go!

"Get out of here!"

Seeing that the ninja from the kingdom of ghosts wanted to pursue the retreating companions, the wooden man immediately controlled the Erwei cat to raise it again, and ran on the ground, rolling up a violent hurricane, murderous.

When Yiji saw this, his figure swayed in place, and suddenly appeared in the air in front of Maoyou. He took a breath, bent his arm, and then punched the blue Maoyou directly on the forehead.

Boom!

The air explodes.

After being punched by Kazuhime, the huge body of Makoto, like a fortress, mercilessly fell to the ground and rolled out.

The body hit the water tower of the factory, and the water gushed down from the sky, wet Maoyou's body.

The long hair on the back of his head fluttered, and Kazuki stood where he was, lightly shaking Maomata's arm with his fist.

"It's really rough and thick. It seems that fighting directly with the tailed beast is still a little short of the standard."

Bloodstains appeared on her fist, which was the blood that flowed out after her skin and flesh were split open.

The defense of the tailed beast exceeded her imagination.

In the past, she had no experience of directly fighting tailed beasts, and because of this, Kazuki wanted to know for a long time whether she could fight tailed beasts hand-to-hand with her powerful body capable of holding tailed beast-level chakras.

Now it seems that she is still a bit behind.

After fighting the tailed beast like this, her arm would have to be destroyed in just a few rounds.

It's unimaginable that Yun Yin's Lei Ying can compete with the tailed beast with his own body.

Is it because of the lack of Thunder Dun armor? Kazuki thought about this possibility.

No, Yun Yin's Lightning Escape Chakra mode is actually not a very advanced ninjutsu.

Cultivation difficulty belongs to B level.

The rest of the ninja villages, including the Oni Nation's military, have also studied the Lightning Dungeon chakra mode, and all of them show that the threshold for practicing this ninjutsu is not high.

What is powerful is people, not art.

It can only be said that the Thunder escape chakra mode is very suitable for Yun Yin's Raikage.

In addition, Raikage also seems to have a family inheritance, which may also involve some unknown secret ninjutsu.

"You yellow-haired girl!"

The cat stood still again, shaking all over, shaking off the water stains on its body, then bared its teeth, its eyes and face became extremely fierce.

Although Ichihime's fist only made her feel a little pain, Yumu still felt a sense of shame.

Using the power of the tail beast, I was beaten back by a little girl with a fist.

This is the first time other than my own Raikage.

Facing Yumuren's anger, Kazuki smiled indifferently.

"Originally, the battlefield here was reserved for Konoha's group of guys. However, it's not bad to replace it with a tailed beast now. You said, how much will your Raikage pay to redeem you?"

After finishing speaking, Yi Ji put the back of her hand to her mouth, and licked the blood flowing from the back of her hand with her tongue, her eyes faintly revealed a bright red bewitching light.

"Die!"

The cat roared loudly again, and its sharp claws tore at the opponent's body.

Yiji stepped on her foot, leaped out, and quickly drew the sword at her waist.

The tip of the sword touched the palm of Cat's Claw, preventing it from advancing.

Two powerful chakras erupted from Kazuki and Maomata, and they charged into each other with an incomparable aura.

The wooden man who controlled Maoyou's body saw this, without hesitation, opened his mouth wide, and ejected a huge fireball with a diameter of more than several meters.

There was an explosion with a bang.

The flames scattered.

A scorched black pit appeared on the ground, billowing with steam.

Ichihime jumped back from the dust, and the sparks left on her clothes quickly dissipated.

"Can't even the sharpness of the Kusanagi sword pierce that layer of skin?"

Yi Ji clicked his tongue and glanced at the saber in his hand with some distaste.

Looking at the giant Nekomata who attacked again, Kazuki remained motionless.

Just when the giant Maoyou's paws were about to touch her body, a dark shadow flew past Maoyou's eyes like lightning.

There was a violent explosion sound from Maoyou's eyes.

The thunder is fierce and radiant.

The cat let out another scream of pain, and staggered back.

Seeing the cat, the dark shadow retreated again, flickering, and landed firmly on Yiji's shoulder.

is a four-legged, pitch-black cub with a single horn that shimmers with blue electric light on its head.

"Good job, Lei Mingmaru, I thought you were going to be lazy again."

Ichihime said to the four-legged unicorn black beast standing on her shoulder.

"Miss, I'm still reliable at critical moments. However, this big guy in front of me is not easy to deal with."

Lei Mingwan looked at Erwei's huge body, the chakra overflowing from it made the air here very dignified.

"Let's stop talking nonsense and use Thunder Tunnel."

Saying that, Ichihime took out a scroll from the ninja bag and spread it out.

The scroll immediately floated in front of Ichiji, with dense black mantras engraved on it, and in the center of the mantra, there was a word 'tool' written.

Yi Ji formed a mudra with both hands, and a large amount of materialized chakra emerged from her body, like a soft stream of water wrapping the unfolded scroll.

"learn!"

Lei Mingwan didn't hesitate, the whole body of lightning bloomed, and instantly created a huge field of lightning around Kazuhime.

"This little trick"

The pain in the eyes gradually disappeared, and the cat spoke again.

However, this time the words were not complete, and they were interrupted by the sound of breaking through the air.

Kunai carrying dense electric light shot out from the unfolded scroll at an astonishing speed.

The cat stretched out its paws again, intending to sweep away these bitter things.

Boom!

Different from ordinary kunai, these lightning-carrying kunai, when they touched Maomata's paw, immediately produced the effect of a cannonball explosion, and the power was so powerful that it shook Maomata's body.

Before he could react, more Kunai with lightning came one after another.

Kunai carrying lightning exploded at Maomata's nose and jaw, his face twisted slightly, and he was forced to raise his head unwillingly.

The bitterness in the scroll seems endless, accompanied by lightning, like a blue laser from the scroll, with a meteor-like light, flashing away in the air, and finally falling on Maoyou like an endless drizzle.

The ear-piercing high-pitched sound makes the sound of the cat throwing its head back and growling sound very painful.
