In Konoha, Naruto lies down

About ten minutes later, Naruto and the other three reached the back of the hillside. The crying became more and more shrill, making people's scalps tingle.

"This Kurozuchi Raiga buried alive those who offended him and even mourned for them personally. In this mental state, he probably doesn't have much fighting power." Naruto analyzed in a low voice.

"Let's go together and kill him later!"

The dull, monotonous crying suddenly stopped, and before Neji could say anything, his body jerked.

"Why is it foggy?" Tiantian asked nervously.

"We've been discovered! Be careful." Neji's voice became serious. Rock Lee stood silently on the side of the team, got into his starting position, and was ready to take action.

The drizzle was still falling, but the white fog was getting thicker.

The whistling mountain wind passed through the exposed rocks, and it felt a little cold when it hit Naruto. This reminded him of a book, How the Virgin Mary Was Made.

Kuroko Raiga should also be carrying a little girl with red-eyed bloodline limits on his back. Her life experience is pitiful, and her relationship with Kuroko Raiga is almost like that of Zabuza and Haku.

Fortunately, what Naruto is best at is severing bonds, not using an umbrella when it rains, and not using a knife to kill people.

These days, there is no market for the Virgin Mary.

Just as Naruto was about to use Lava Release to start the battle, a mechanical synthesized sound kept ringing in his mind like crazy.

[Dear host, the Water Country chapter, the Ninja Sword Stamp Collection quest line has been opened! (Top)]

[Achievement achieved: Broken Sword. Beheading Sword.]

[Achievement not yet achieved: Thunder Blade. Fang, Large Blade· Samehada, Double Blade· Flatfish, Long Blade· Sewing Needle, Explosive Blade· Spray, Blunt Blade· Cut.]

[Reward: Izanagi (one-time item), awarded when all achievements are completed.]

【Ding! 】

【Options...】

Chapter 141 Hunting

[Option 1: Kill Kurokuei Raiga, Reward: Kurokuei Raiga's Funeral (Rule-based ninjutsu, summons the deceased Kurokuei Raiga's funeral procession, and forcibly seals the opponent in a coffin for burial).]

[Option 2: Redeem the bond between Raiga and Ranmaru, reward: Lightning Release: Thunder Tornado.]

For the first time, the system panel was a mess, and pop-up windows kept dinging like they were infected. Naruto was completely stunned. But now that he was about to take action, Naruto directly chose option one.

He is not a saint, so how can he be saved?

The first option seemed to be a rule-based ninjutsu, summoning the deceased Black Hoe Raiga team to the funeral? Whether it was powerful or not was another matter, but the system was still quite disgusting.

If there is no emperor to hold the coffin, it is also good to have a black hoe and thunder teeth to cover the coffin. It is a bit similar to Ibiki's lucky cat ninjutsu, so the effect is to force the coffin to be closed.

The system's expanded description is a rule-based ninjutsu. Does this mean that even if Uchiha comes, he can be dragged into the coffin and buried? If so, regardless of whether Madara can break out of the coffin, it would be worth it if he can actually be pulled in.

There is absolutely no way to refuse, choose one.

This time the system settled the previous Hinata quest line, opened the Seven Ninja Swords quest line, and triggered the option of Black Hoe Raiga.

Naruto now has 73% of the Nine-tailed Fox's power at its peak, and he also has a nine-tailed fox at home. Now he not only wants to seize the Thunder Blade, but also plans to kill Black Hoe Raiga.

"White eyes!!"

Neji stared grimly at the thick white mist, his Byakugan opening almost instantly. Veins bulged around his eyes, and he quickly formed hand seals to help him focus more quickly.

Xiao Li clenched his fists. Tenten had already pulled out a shuriken from his ninja tool bag, waiting for Neji to reveal his position. This was their usual tactic for Team 3: a reconnaissance raid.

Tenten was standing not far from Naruto. During the tense wait, she suddenly couldn't sense Naruto's breathing and was immediately startled.

She turned her head suddenly, but could still vaguely see Naruto's face.

what happened?

Just now, I felt that Naruto suddenly disappeared from my sight, as if he was dead.

"I can't see clearly at all!" Neji's breathing gradually became heavier. "Give me a moment. There's something strange about this fog. It's obscuring the Byakugan's vision."

Tenten already had the kunai in hand and was looking around warily. When she glanced at Naruto from the corner of her eye, she found that he was as motionless as a stone.

If she hadn't known Naruto was standing there, she would never have noticed that there was another person there.

There was almost no breathing sound, and his entire body didn't even sway. Tenten even doubted whether Naruto still had a heartbeat. She was also a little curious about what he was doing now.

Hidden breath?

On second thought, it was a good tactic. If the opponent's fog obscured Neji's vision, and if the opponent took this opportunity to attack, Naruto might be able to counterattack as a backup.

She also wanted to conceal her breath, but ordinary breath holding obviously didn't work.

"Southeast 45 degrees 11, northwest 32 degrees 23, southwest 34 degrees 21." Ningji reported the location accurately, and the third team moved as soon as they heard the news, like a wild horse breaking free from its reins and an arrow leaving a bow.

Naruto didn't move, but Neji didn't notice as he stepped lightly into the fog.

The moment Neji's kunai pierced the tree trunk, he knew that the image he saw with his Byakugan was wrong.

As expected, Rock Lee's Konoha whirlwind missed, but Tenten's shurikens fell on the rocks.

If the attack misses, it means the position has been exposed.

The three directions of east, south, west, north and southwest are completely opposite. It is too obvious that the opponent wants to separate them and defeat them one by one. Neji was too nervous and did not realize that this was a trap.

Neji jumped away, his heart filled with anxiety. For the first time, his Byakugan failed to work. This made him feel a little helpless. What if what he saw was not real...

Team 3 was originally a ninja team that focused on physical skills, and Neji was the eyes of the entire team. Only by seeing clearly could he accurately deliver a critical hit.

But now his eyes had failed him, and facing the still thick fog, Neji's pride wavered for the first time. Facing the motionless white fog, his fear was infinitely magnified.

But the current situation is that our position has been exposed, and we can only wait for the other party to take the initiative and then find a way to crack it.

These were just fleeting thoughts. Neji was a genius, so he was limited by the name of genius. He wanted an answer so badly that he didn't even suspect the other party had the ability to interfere with the Byakugan.

Naruto's condition was extremely strange. His blood flowed slowly, his heartbeat slowed, and his breathing had almost stopped. He used the Nine-Tails' chakra to conceal his presence, completely hiding himself in the fog.

He was very successful, and except Tiantian, almost no one remembered him at this juncture.

His eyes seemed to be covered with a thin veil, and his entire body was as calm as an emotionless machine. His teammates had already exposed their position and were facing danger, but he remained unmoved.

On a higher rock, Hei Chu Lei Ya, wearing a black robe, looked up with a crazy smile on his face.

Behind him stood a row of people in black robes dressed similarly, with their bodies slightly bent and their heads lowered. A square white coffin was quietly placed on the ground.

"They have been led away." A childish boy's voice sounded from behind him, without any emotion.

"Well done, Ranmaru."

Black Hoe Lei Ya licked his lips in satisfaction. "Now I will be the one to bury them, but... I won't cry for strangers! Hahaha!!"

He raised the double blades of Thunder Fang in his hands, and several bolts of lightning went in three directions.

In this thick white fog, the speed of lightning was extremely fast, and it struck the three people accurately almost instantly.

The moment the screams of Tenten, Rock Lee, and Neji rang out, Naruto suddenly moved, and through the thick white fog, he locked onto the exact position of Kurochu Raiga from afar.

The killing intent in his heart surged in an instant, and he did not move when the positions of Neji, Tiantian and the other two were exposed. This was because he knew that there was a child with red eyes and a bloodline limit on Kuroko Raiga's back, which could make the Byakugan ineffective.

Naruto was betting that the opponent's speed was not as fast as his. He just needed to abandon his eyes and slowly spread the Nine-Tails Chakra to find the opponent's position.

But at the moment when the three people were electrocuted, he finally found the flaw of Black Chu Lei Ya!

So, he moved.

His figure was like a ghost, and white mist poured in rapidly from Naruto's sleeves and collar. His thin short sleeves bulged quickly, rustling in the wind.

Her golden hair was ruffled by the strong wind, revealing her blue eyes that were calm without any fluctuation.

"Oh no! Thunder Fang!! There's another one!"

"exist......"

It was too late. [The Nine-Tails' power was 73%], and Naruto instantly put on the blood-red tailed beast coat. His speed was comparable to that of a Gundam, and the air squeezed by the Nine-Tails' chakra made an explosion sound.

Chapter 142 Naruto's Vacation

After being hit by Kuroki Raiga's lightning ninjutsu, Tiantian saw a straight streamline in the white mist in front of his eyes, which were about to close, in the last second before losing consciousness.

Seventy-three percent of the chakra in the peak state of the complete Nine-Tails boiled like blood-red magma, and the fog was instantly driven away by the high temperature.

Like a distorted funhouse mirror, the white fog surged outward like an avalanche. In an instant, the world was reduced to a hell of blood and fire, and high, crisp explosions echoed one after another.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Naruto appeared in front of Kuroko Raiga, like a cannonball, instantly tearing through the white mist without holding back.

The immense force of the impact flattened the small rocky slope. Even so, Naruto still remembered his traditional technique of finishing off the opponent.

The white mist has been dispelled. Naruto, who is wearing a tailed beast coat but has not become a heretic, raised his fist and pressed down the dying Kurocho Raiga and Ranmaru who was looking at him with fear in his eyes.

boom! boom! boom!

The fist wrapped in the Nine-Tails' chakra was like a giant hammer, causing the ground to collapse heavily. Black Hoe Raiga and the Red-Eyed Ranmaru behind him suddenly fell apart and were instantly physically liberated.

All the sins and killings of the two men were cleansed in an instant. Without any excuses, they returned to the pure land together with the villagers they had buried alive and killed.

"call!"

He let out a long breath, and the tailed beast's outer garments completely disappeared into nothingness, leaving a dead silence all around.

[The funeral of Black Hoe Lei Ya was successfully devolved.]

......

"Naruto, how did you find out the enemy's location?"

After completing the mission, Naruto and Team 3 were walking on their way home when Tenten asked curiously.

"Release chakra to sense the outside world, hide your position, and then..." Naruto scratched his face and said awkwardly, "It's actually a gamble."

"The situation was a bit urgent at that time, and I didn't have time to say much to you."

"It's all right as long as the mission is completed." Neji walked ahead without looking back, with no special expression on his face. "Anyway, thank you, Naruto."

Tsk, still a tsundere.

It doesn't matter. Naruto doesn't care, he just feels that he didn't make much money on this trip.

Although the ninja swords have been collected, Hei Chue Raiga is indeed a weakling in combat, an old comrade who can't even hold a sword steadily. Even the reward given to him by the system is Hei Chue carrying a coffin?

This is truly outrageous.

However, with the death of the last survivor of the Three Lucky Treasures who always lived under Might Dai's feet, the first generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were officially declared offline.

There was a clear stupidity in Lee's eyes as he looked at Naruto with his eyes shining.

"How did you do it?"

"How did you do that?"

"Such a big and deep pit must have been caused by some powerful physical technique. I've seen it, and it doesn't look like a mark caused by ninjutsu at all." Xiao Li said excitedly.

"It's just Ninjutsu. What kind of Taijutsu do I know? I haven't even started with the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu yet. I gave up after just one day of training last time."

"Ok."

"Um...did we forget something?" Tiantian stopped and asked.

"No." Naruto turned around and glanced at Tenten sideways.

The way he looked at people at this moment was a little strange, his blue pupils were extremely blue, and he glanced at them sideways. He seemed nonchalant, but also carried a strong sense of oppression.

It seemed as if what he said was beyond doubt, and coupled with his somewhat humble profile, it made people feel particularly out of place.

Tiantian's hairs stood up on his body and he swallowed.

Even though she had remembered the three clients who were tied up in the curry shop, looking at Naruto's eyes, she could only smile awkwardly and then quickly lowered her head.

The moment he lowered his head, his smile disappeared, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, this guy is a little scary.

It took them another five days to return to Konoha from River Country.

Including the round trip journey and the time spent on the mission, it was already mid-October when the four of them reported back to the Hokage Building.

The hot weather is gradually fading away, and there is a clear temperature difference between morning and evening. If you walk your bird in the living room without wearing any clothes, it will be a bit cold. The autumn is in full swing.

After first cooperating with Team 8 to complete the mission of obtaining the micro-fragrant insects, and then cooperating with Team 3 to complete the mission of expelling the Oxalis gold mine in River Country, Naruto gained precious vacation time.

So it's...Naruto's vacation?

After finally getting a break, the Ten Strongest of Konoha were all on missions, and even Team 3 had received an urgent mission. He had originally planned to go to Tansho Street, but Tsunade flatly refused him.

There are a lot of tasks piling up in the village, and they just want you to rest for a few days, not have any fun, and so on and so forth.
