I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

If he didn't want to use other people to collect spiritual herbs and other resources more conveniently, he could have easily found a remote wilderness to cultivate immortality alone.

Of course, abandoning Hoshinobi Village and running away was a last resort.

Given the current situation, it is far from enough to force Naraku to back down.

After leaving enough forces to guard the Star Ninja Village, Naraku quickly left the village and used the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique to rush to the border area between the Land of Bears and the Land of Earth.

"Lord Huangtu, all the outposts on the border of the Bear Kingdom have been eliminated."

"Alright, assemble everyone immediately. We're heading to Hoshinen Village next."

In the border region of the Land of Bears, Huang Tu, who was looking towards the direction of the Star Ninja Village in the intelligence reports, immediately issued orders after hearing his subordinates' report.

"Han, when we fight the Star Ninja Village next, I'll leave Naraku to you. Even if you can't defeat them, you must delay their actions. Once I've dealt with the rest of the Star Ninja Village, I'll provide support to you immediately."

After the Iwa ninja who delivered the order left, Huang Tu turned to look at the man beside him.

This person, like Huang Tu, was exceptionally tall.

He was wearing red armor and a red conical hat, with only the upper half of his face visible.

He is Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, one of the two Jinchuriki of Iwagakure.

"Leave it to me!" Han replied succinctly to Huang Tu's request.

Seeing this, Huang Tu was satisfied.

The father was very thoughtful; both were Jinchūriki, but Han was much more docile than Rōshi.

If it were Old Purple who was working with him at this time, he might have already gone to Hoshigakure alone when Old Purple had his men remove the outposts in the Land of Bears.

Time passed little by little.

The Iwa ninja squads that went to eliminate the outposts quickly returned and gathered at the temporary base.

After counting the number of people and confirming that there were not many casualties, Huang Tu did not hesitate and immediately ordered them to set off, heading towards Xingren Village in a grand procession.

About half an hour.

The army of Iwagakure had already penetrated deep into the Land of Bears.

But as they passed through a desolate area, suddenly, Huang Tu, who was marching swiftly at the forefront of the army alongside Han, narrowed his eyes.

"stop!"

With a wave of his hand, Huang Tu abruptly stopped.

The Iwa ninja army behind him also immediately stopped in their tracks.

Huang Tu stared sharply into the distance ahead, where he saw a figure walking towards him.

"Naraku!!"

Although they were some distance apart, Huang Tu immediately recognized the figure in the distance and slowly uttered the other person's name.

I walked across the wilderness.

Looking at the densely packed Iwa ninja opposite them, they estimated there were two or three thousand of them.

Although Naraku stopped using the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique, he did not stop walking. Instead, he calmly walked straight toward his opponent.

"Chinese!"

Encountering Naraku on the way certainly surprised Huang Tu, but he still reacted immediately.

With a low shout, Han beside him responded to Huang Tu without saying a word.

Wuwuwu~~~

Scalding steam billowed from within the crimson armor.

Amidst the rumbling of trains, Han immediately charged towards Naraku with heavy steps but astonishing speed.

Just as Huang Tu had decided from the beginning to let Han deal with Naraku.

Naraku's strength has been proven by the deaths of the five hundred Iwa ninja.

As the top combat force in the ninja world, to take them down, relying solely on numbers would inevitably result in heavy casualties, even if victory were achieved.

Therefore, the best way to deal with top-tier combat power is to confront it in kind.

This is the case at this time.

Naraku's sudden appearance disrupted Huangtu's plans.

However, upon discovering that there were no other Star Ninjas around, Huang Tu immediately chose to have Han test Naraku's strength first.

If Han could defeat Naraku, that would be the best outcome.

If Han is no match for Naraku, then it's not too late for him to provide support.

As the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han was definitely one of the top combatants in Iwagakure.

His strength, in particular, is among the best in the entire ninja world.

Seeing the man charging menacingly towards him, Naraku immediately recognized him as the Five-Tails Jinchuriki from Iwagakure.

"Lightning Release: Thunderclap Finger!"

He stopped walking, and Naraku raised his hand with an unchanged expression, forming a sword finger, and pointed out a bolt of lightning that resembled a silver beam.

thunderbolt!!

A thunderclap arrived in an instant.

Han, who was running, narrowed his eyes and raised his arm to block without slowing down.

Bang! !

The thunderclap struck Han's arm, causing him to momentarily pause.

Despite being enveloped by powerful chakra, Han's arm was not seriously damaged; only the armor was dented.

After a brief pause, Han resumed his mad dash.

But what followed was even more shocking revelations.

Naraku continuously unleashed the "Thunderbolt Finger" technique, seemingly attempting to prevent Han from approaching.

"drink!"

Steam continued to erupt, and Han's fists and feet burst forth, constantly shattering the incoming thunderbolts, while slowly approaching Naraku.

While the continuous "Thunder Finger" attacks did slow down Han's speed, they were clearly insufficient to cause him any real damage.

Finally, Han successfully reached Naraku's vicinity, and after dodging another thunderbolt, he leaped up and delivered a flying kick that slammed into Naraku's face.

"Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!"

The scalding steam erupted even more violently.

Han's flying kick, even just the aftershock it created, distorted the surrounding air.

boom! ! !

He turned to the side and lifted his leg, his feet colliding violently.

To Han's astonishment, Naraku, who had been preventing him from getting close, did not dodge when faced with Han's flying kick. Instead, he directly countered the flying kick with a side kick.

More importantly, the force coming from Naraku's foot was surprisingly fierce.

Chapter 69 Tailed Beast Transformation

Boom! ! !

The forces clashed.

As Naraku's side kick intercepted Han's flying kick, a visible, violent shockwave immediately surged and spread from the two men's colliding feet.

at the same time.

The ground beneath Naraku's left foot, which was supporting his body, suddenly collapsed, quickly forming a deep crater.

The ground collapse did not affect Naraku's movements in the slightest; he steadily blocked Han's flying kick.

Even the high-temperature steam emanating from the opponent's feet was completely blocked by the high-intensity chakra wrapped around Naraku's feet.

"They blocked it? The opponent actually blocked Lord Han's attack?"

"How could that be? Lord Han's flying kick once shattered a small mountain."

"This is the leader of the Star Ninja Village? His strength has increased to such an extent. Could it be that Gangyan and the others are no match for him?"

"."

As Han charged out to attack Naraku, Huang Tu and the other Iwa ninja were all watching the battle unfold closely.

At this moment, when they saw Han's flying kick being blocked by Naraku, the Iwa ninja all showed expressions of shock.

Huang Tu, in particular, looked down and his eyes showed deep fear when he looked at Naraku.

However, he did not immediately go to support Xiang Han.

The stronger Naraku becomes, the more he realizes that he needs to observe him closely to gather more information about him.

Inside the crater, Naraku's left foot was sunk into the mud.
