Chapter 172 Class 3 (3rd Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Vote!)

The dragon vein exists in a long-extinct country called "Loulan".

It is now part of the territory of the Kingdom of Wind.

Karin doesn't like the Kingdom of Wind.

The land here is barren, and the wind and sand are strong, which is not good for the skin.

But she was cheering this time.

Although it is not clear how much the "Zanpakuto" can increase strength.

Sasuke's has not been "released" yet.

The Nine-Tails itself is very powerful and cannot be used as a good reference.

Something that may be valued by both Naruto and the Nine-Tails must be a good thing.

Moreover,

Being able to have more "similarities" with Naruto is enough to make Karin feel a little happy.

"It has become so dilapidated." The red-haired girl tiptoed and walked in the "Ancient Kingdom of Loulan", looking around, "Orochimaru seemed to have said that it was a very prosperous country more than 20 years ago."

"People are always greedy." Naruto said calmly.

This land borders four countries.

Because it is weak enough and there is no ninja village, trading here will not be charged expensive taxes, so it has become a prosperous market.

But.

It is prosperous because it does not belong to any country.

When it belongs to a country, it loses its value of existence.

Karin kicked the fine sand.

She thought of the "Land of Whirlpools".

"There seems to be something interesting ahead." Naruto scanned it with his perception and smiled slightly, "Do you want to try it?"

"Enemy?" Karin tilted her head.

Naruto shook his head: "It's not coming for us."

"It's just a coincidence that we met."

"He regarded us as a target."

Karin looked forward and made a seal on his chest.

"Kagura Heart Eye".

The perception swept across and explored the front.

There are some things buried in the wind and sand, on the road they must pass before they go forward.

She left in an instant.

The sand waves surged, and several antique-like humanoid puppets rushed out.

Hand knives, kunai, spears, sharp blades, cold and poisoned.

Enveloped from all directions.

Karin's face was calm.

Hands made seals.

"Wind escape, big breakthrough".

The ninjutsu was activated, and with the help of the already strong wind in the desert, the power was increased to a higher level, and the invisible blade was sharp.

The person controlling the puppet in the shadows sensed the intention of her ninjutsu.

Two puppets rushed over.

Wind escape cut off the chakra line that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

The puppet that rushed over suddenly lost its power source and fell to the ground with a clang.

The remaining two puppets, protected by them, remained in the controlled form.

But.

They did not fight, but retreated.

Karin was about to chase, her ears moved, and she instantly moved back.

There was a "hissing" sound from the two puppets.

Inside their bodies, there was an "explosion talisman" attached, which was triggered at this time.

The next moment after Karin teleported.

With a loud bang, it exploded suddenly, and a cloud of gunpowder surged.

Explosive talismans.

In the battle between masters, they are almost useless, because they take a long time and are not powerful enough.

But in the battle between ordinary jonins, if used properly, they can have a great effect.

Karin was stopped by the explosion.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the puppet had disappeared.

She stretched out her hand to make a seal, and once again unfolded the "Kagura Heart's Eye" to chase the man's trace.

Unexpected chakra broke into her perception.

Karin tilted her head.

At the same time, several figures teleported and landed on the high wall of the ruins.

Two pairs of white eyes.

A green tights, and a girl with two buns.

"It's the Uzumaki clan next to Naruto." One of the girls with long hair spoke.

"Konoha ninja." Karin stared at the forehead protectors that showed their status, "Why are you here?"

"Of course it's a mission." Another man with long hair and "Baiyan" bloodline limit said calmly, "Only you are here?"

"Naruto he..."

Karin's face turned strange.

A soft voice interrupted his words: "I'm here, can't you see me?"

Hearing the voice, Hyuga Neji turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction of the sound.

Blond figure, white feather.

Standing so conspicuously in the broken walls and ruins of the wind and sand.

He gritted his teeth, chakra surged, and veins popped at his temples.

Baiyan peeked.

But.

I can't see anything.

Chakra? Meridians? Flesh?

In his eyes, it's illusory.

Hyuga Hinata's face changed slightly.

She felt the same as Neji.

One of the three major eye techniques, the Byakugan, which is known as the strongest "perception ability", is completely ineffective on Naruto.

"Naruto." Neji took a deep breath and calmed down. "It's been a long time."

"Do you remember me?"

Naruto smiled: "Of course, Hyuga Neji, long time no see."

"And me, Naruto!" Xiao Li raised his hand and said cheerfully, "I didn't expect to see you here."

"Are you here for the dragon vein too?" Naruto asked them directly.

Neji was stunned.

"Would a ninja like you be interested in the power of 'dragon vein'?" The girl with a bun narrowed her eyes and spoke seriously.

She is another member of Team 3.

Tenten, who is good at "hidden weapons".

Naruto nodded: "It has some effect on me."

"Our mission this time is to protect." Tiantian continued.

Neji interrupted her words with a firm and decisive tone: "Tenten, our mission is to hunt down Sunagakure's traitorous Ninja Hyakuzu."

"Dragon Veins."

"It's not under our jurisdiction."

"It's just that his target is Dragon Vein."

Look up every day.

Xiao Li scratched his head, looking confused, staring at the two balls. If my memory is correct, the task should be as Tiantian said.

While Bai Zu is wanted, protect Dragon Vein.

but.

He also knew exactly why Neji said such things.

Does not conflict with "Uzumaki Naruto".

Even if there is one more Hyuga Hinata, with the strength of the four of them, they cannot be the opponent of Uzumaki Naruto.

Xiang Rin tilted her head. Her senses had already tracked down the person she had failed to capture just now: "Is this the rebellious ninja of Sunagakure?"

"I've found him."

"In the ten o'clock direction, more than one kilometer underground in the tower."

Hinata tilted her head and peered over with her white eyes.

Just in the direction Xiang Lin mentioned, a chakra was faintly visible.

It was almost as far as she could peer into.

"There is a ninja, but the distance is too far, I can't distinguish his chakra." Hinata's voice was weak, she looked away, tilted her head and looked at Xianglin cautiously.

"The Kagura mind of the Uzumaki clan?" Hinata Neji also looked at her and said softly.

Xianglin pinched her waist.

The team on the opposite side was led by "Hyuuga Neji", but she only looked at Hinata: "Although Kagura's heart's eye is not as good as the Byakugan's assistive ability in battle."

"But on perception."

"A white eye is much worse."

Hinata was timid, retracted her head and hid behind Tenten.

"Naruto." Neji ignored her, his face remained calm, "After this mission is over, I can ask you to take some time. There are some things I want to consult with you."

Naruto looked at him.

Kagura's inner eye can sense his emotions.

At this moment, his heart was not as peaceful as he showed.

The waves are rough and the waves are turning violently.

"Okay." He nodded in agreement.

Neji breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Thank you so much."

Xiao Li blinked.

Hinata and Kaoru, Neji and Naruto, he turned his head and glanced at Tenten. She looked cautious and worried about Neji.

oh.

Was he the only outsider?

"Catch Baizu first." Xianglin waved, looked at Naruto, smiled and disappeared.

Xiao Li exclaimed: "What a fast speed!"

"When we were in the Kingdom of Clouds, she killed a team with the same configuration as ours." Hyuga Neji chased after him, "Now that one year has passed, she will only become stronger."

"After all, we are here."

"Next to Naruto Uzumaki."

This sentence made Hinata's expression become subtle.

Tiantian noticed it and sighed.

In a dilapidated tower sunk deep into the ground.

Xianglin fell to the ground.

In the center of the tower, there is a floating platform.

The constant wind and sand blowing day and night does not seem to affect this place.

The technique is still clear.

In the center of the formation, on the slightly raised bulge, was a three-pronged kunai.

A stooped man with a sallow complexion stood in front of the bulge and stared at Xianglin: "You don't seem to be a ninja from Sunagakure or Konoha."

Xianglin nodded.

"Are you also here for the power of dragon veins?" He raised his hand, his tone full of bewitching, "If you are not a ninja from the five great ninja villages, why don't we cooperate?"

"The power of dragon veins is endless"

Xianglin clasped her palms together: "The word cooperation means that two people with equal identity, status, and strength do something together."

"Don't Sunagakure's schools teach this?"

"Making such an unreasonable request."

In response.

The golden chains surged and flew out.

There were not many in number, only four, but they were rushing away with great momentum.

"King Kong Blockade!" His strength was average, but his knowledge seemed to be good. He recognized the technique at a glance and exclaimed, "You are from the Uzumaki clan!"

When he saw the red hair, he hadn't thought about it yet.

After all, "red hair" is not a very rare hair color in Sunagakure.

But now.

Uzumaki clan, girl.

He couldn't help but think of someone.

"You are Uzumaki Kaoru!" His expression became frightened, and his body couldn't help but tremble. Even before he was hit by the chain, the chakra in his body was already disordered, "Why are you here?"

"Uzumaki Naruto-sama is here too?"

"A ninja like him also covets the power of dragon veins?"

The powerful ninja who completely changed the terrain in one battle.

His reputation has spread throughout the ninja world.

Even if it was just a "name", even if he hadn't seen the "blond figure" yet, just heard about it, just the thought that he was standing on the opposite side of that person made him uncontrollably panicked.

"To deal with a character like you, Naruto doesn't need to take action."

Xianglin whispered.

Chains rush faster.

The skinny man's instinct as a ninja was still there, he spread his hands and swung two scrolls from his sleeves.

Carried away by inertia.

Two humanoid puppets fell to the ground after a burst of white smoke.

(no more)
