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

Naraku appeared in a flash, landing on a sand dune.

As he appeared, figures in the surrounding area, beneath the sand dunes, opened their eyes one after another.

These figures lurking beneath the sand dunes were none other than Naraku's shadow clones of true energy.

Upon sensing that it was the main body that had arrived, the group of true qi shadow clones immediately closed their eyes again and continued to absorb the metal element power contained in the underground gold mine.

It's similar to cultivating the skill of "shrinking the earth into an inch".

In cultivating the "Mysterious Gold Sword Qi", one can draw upon the power of the metal element from spiritual energy, as well as from substances containing the power of the metal element.

The place where they are now is the very place where Naraku is cultivating the "Mysterious Gold Sword Qi".

Although the Land of Wind has a barren ecological environment, its vast deserts also hide a large amount of mineral resources such as iron and gold.

Especially gold mines.

Rasa was able to defeat Pakura and become Kazekage not only because of the support of Chiyo and Ebizo, but also because his Magnet Release technique could help Sunagakure find and mine gold mines, thereby increasing the village's income.

The same principle applies to Naraku arranging for his true energy shadow clones to cultivate here.

There's a reason why the word "gold" appears in "Mysterious Gold Sword Qi".

Aside from spiritual objects, among ordinary substances, gold is the best material for cultivating "Mysterious Gold Sword Qi".

Therefore, from the very beginning of his cultivation of the "Mysterious Gold Sword Qi", he secretly entered the Wind Kingdom to search for gold mines.

Sensing that his true qi shadow clones were cultivating the 'Mysterious Gold Sword Qi,' Naraku didn't linger. He immediately chose a direction and used 'Shrinking the Earth to an Inch' to leave.

This time, he teleported here using the "Flying Thunder God Technique," not to inspect the cultivation of his True Qi Shadow Clones, but to save time and reach his destination more quickly.

brush!

Using the technique "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch," Naraku can instantly travel five kilometers in a flash.

Unbeknownst to him, he had traversed the entire Land of Wind and appeared at the other end of the Land of Wind.

Just like when the Hidden Cloud Village crossed the sea to invade the Land of Wind, although the Land of Wind is a desert country, it is actually a coastal country.

brush!

Starting from the Land of Bears, Naraku, traversing the Land of Wind, soon arrives at the boundless ocean.

In a flash, Naraku landed steadily on the sea surface, his gaze fixed on the ocean.

After several more flashes, Naraku discovered a small, isolated island and immediately set foot on it.

hum!

The moment he landed on the island, the Flying Thunder God Technique immediately extended from Naraku's feet, setting a coordinate at the location.

"This is it!"

Naraku surveyed the sea outside the island, nodded slightly, and immediately used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to create hundreds of true energy shadow clones.

The shadow clones, inheriting Naraku's mindset, didn't need much explanation; they immediately scattered around the island.

They sat cross-legged on the sea.

The true qi shadow clones all activated the "Heavenly One Divine Water," beginning to absorb the necessary water elemental power from the vast ocean.

The reason why Naraku crossed the Land of Wind to come to the sea was precisely for the purpose of training in the "Heavenly One Divine Water".

It's like "shrinking the earth to an inch".

The ocean, rich in the power of water, is the best place to cultivate the "Heavenly Divine Water".

Similarly, it is the same as the cultivation of 'Mysterious Gold Sword Qi'.

With the help of the Flying Thunder God Technique, as long as the coordinates are left, Naraku can freely travel to and from the selected training location and replenish his true energy shadow clones at any time.

Having chosen a suitable place to cultivate the "Heavenly One Divine Water," Naraku did not linger for long. He quickly activated the "Flying Thunder God Technique" again and returned directly to Xiangxing Ninja Village.

Chapter 109 Young people really know how to have fun

"The people from Iwagakure are here. They want to redeem the Jinchuriki, just like last time."

Inside the Star Shadow Building office, upon hearing Nonou's report, Naraku, who was leaning back on the sofa, chuckled: "I thought they would send troops to attack us, but it turns out they're actually thinking of redeeming the Jinchuriki."

After arranging the cultivation of "Heavenly One Divine Water", Naraku returned to his usual life.

Just a few days later, as Nonoyu is now reporting, Iwagakure is actually trying to redeem the Jinchuriki once again.

“They probably want to redeem the Jinchuriki before attacking us, since Jinchuriki are an important military force.” Nono, sitting opposite, also laughed.

Jinchūriki?

There are corpses, but the key is that the core of a Jinchūriki is a Tailed Beast.

Now that the Five-Tails is inside her, how could she possibly ask Iwagakure to redeem it?

"Then give the body to them, and you and Xia Rixing can also use this opportunity to intimidate them," Naraku said with amusement.

Upon hearing Naraku's instructions, Nonou immediately understood.

Whether it's plundering the Land of Earth or transferring the Tailed Beasts.

This has undoubtedly made them mortal enemies with Iwagakure.

At this point, feigning compliance is just a waste of time.

Rather than doing that, it would be more effective to instill a deterrent effect.

At least once Iwagakure knows that they have mastered the Tailed Beasts, they will be more cautious about seeking revenge.

Soon, following Naraku's instructions, Nono not only threw the bodies of Han and Rōshi to the people of Iwagakure, but also deliberately revealed the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode with Natsumi.

If the corpses of Han and Rōshi enraged the people of Iwagakure, then the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode of Nono and Natsumi Hoshi severely shocked them.

Next, the people of Iwagakure didn't even dare to utter any harsh words, and hurriedly fled Hoshigakure in a sorry state.

"Asshole!!"

As the Hidden Cloud Village withdrew its troops, Onoki did not withdraw the border defenses, but he did return to the village with some of the seriously wounded.

At this moment, when the Iwa ninja who went to Hoshigakure to redeem the Jinchuriki returned, the result they brought back caused Onoki to lose his temper and smash his desk.

The deaths of Han and Rōshi, and the fact that the Four-Tails and Five-Tails were made new Jinchūriki by the Star Village, all of these things made Ōnoki so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Ah! It hurts!"

After several encounters with the Third Raikage, Onoki was clearly not unscathed and also suffered considerable injuries.

His injuries had not yet healed, and his outburst of rage caused Onoki to aggravate his injuries, resulting in a sharp pain in his waist.

The intense pain caused Onoki to bend over, his face contorted, clutching his back.

But his heart ached more than his body.

The loss of two Jinchūriki at once is a devastating blow to Iwagakure, a blow no less severe than skinning the skin off and pulling out the bones.

The key issue is that Onoki doesn't dare to seek revenge yet.

Leaving aside the heavy casualties caused by the large-scale battle with Kumogakure and the chaos within the country.

The sheer strength of the Star Ninja Village was enough to make him extremely wary.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have just sent people to redeem the Jinchūriki instead of sending troops to attack.

Today, Hoshigakure has two Jinchuriki.

Coupled with Naraku's terrifying assassination abilities, Onoki dared not easily send troops to attack Hoshigakure.

"We have no choice but to cooperate with Sunagakure."

Suppressing his anger, Onoki, whose back pain was gradually subsiding, quickly pondered how to deal with Hoshigakure.

Finally, he thought of Sunagakure.

When Onoki returned to the village, Huang Tu reported to him that Sunagakure had sent people to propose an alliance with them.

One of the purposes of forming the alliance was to deal with the Star Ninja Village.

Given the current state of Iwagakure, Onoki certainly wouldn't mind cooperating with Sunagakure.

This is even more true now.

If we can unite with Sunagakure to deal with Hoshigakure, even though we cannot easily take action against Hoshigakure before eliminating Naraku, we can suppress Hoshigakure's development in other ways.

Onoki's eyes flickered.

There are different ways to form alliances.

It's not just about dominance.

Even if the alliance was initiated by Sunagakure, he wouldn't mind waiting for a higher price and using it to gain some benefits from Sunagakure.

Onoki acted quickly, or perhaps the pressure from Hoshigakure was too great.

Having finalized the alliance plan, he immediately sent people to Sunagakure to communicate with them.

Several days later, the people who went to Sunagakure returned, bringing with them a very unexpected message from Onoki.

"Are young people these days so good at having fun?"

Looking at the contents of the scroll in his hand, Onoki was surprised, but a playful expression quickly appeared on his face.
