Chapter 154 I'm tired of red tape!
Even from a thousand meters away, Naruto and his group could see the figure at the end of the bridge.
The other party was holding a dark pillar over two meters high in his hand. Even he himself was standing still like a pillar, but he didn't seem to have any intention of rushing over to do anything to them.
"As long as we don't get close to the Country of Waves, he won't take action against us."
Naruto analyzed: "However, that person doesn't seem to care about people watching him around, which is strange."
Intuitively, this is not very Like a ninja.
"Why are you thinking so much? I'm afraid this guy is just a janitor."
Sasuke opened his Sharingan and used the zoom function to see more clearly than Naruto.
"Judging from the impression he gives me, he is definitely not a powerful character, so naturally he can't do much."
"Don't forget, the penguin named Gato said so himself. Among the two people, the bigger guy is probably a follower. "
The sky was clear at this time. Sasuke crossed his arms on his chest and said, "Only the dwarf who imitates Giyu and speaks unpleasantly is worthy of our careful treatment! "
Sasuke's self-confidence is not without confidence.
First, Uzumaki Naruto, who has been training with him since childhood, and Hyuga Neji, who occasionally spars with him in order to repay Giyu, are the strongest beings among their peers in Konoha.
And this kind of combat training has never been interrupted since the first day he went to school.
Secondly, the Thunder Release Ninjutsu he learned from his mother is very functional, and almost no outsiders have seen it. He should be able to gain an advantage.
Thirdly, his Taijutsu and Fire Release were personally taught by Giyu and Kyojuro! And every time he met Kyojuro (the clone), the opponent would praise him for becoming stronger again.
Therefore, Sasuke can be said to be full of confidence in his own strength.
He can't just go out and be able to easily deal with the first enemy he encounters, right?
Not everyone is Giyu and Kyojuro.
"Giyu said that We don't know each other until our opponents reveal their weaknesses." Naruto narrowed his eyes and warned: "Don't be too arrogant outside the village, others won't let you go every time like me."
"I am his brother! Stop lecturing me with Giyu words! "
Sasuke was not very happy and raised his foot to kick a stone to the edge of Naruto's shoe. "And, when did you let me..."
Before he could finish his words, a soft groan came from behind the two of them. That's it. The kind of movement that makes a patient wake up from a coma.
"Sakura! "The two of them turned around at the same time.
Seeing Haruno Sakura sitting cross-legged with a pale face and trembling eyes, both of them were a little worried.
Naruto picked up Sakura's water bag and handed it over: "How are you? Was She discovered when she was using the spiritual transformation technique?
Sasuke added: "Or did you see something scary? "
A thin layer of sweat poured out from Sakura's forehead.
She took the water bag and took a sip. It took her a few seconds to calm down before she said, "They are islanders from the Land of Waves..."
"Islanders?" Sasuke looked at others and his face darkened: "It's not like we haven't gone fishing for a long time and we have nothing to eat, so we starved to death, right?"
"No, my spirit flew across the entire island and I didn't find anyone starving to death. And unlike what we expected, most of the people on the island look very good. On the surface, they are even healthier than the watermelon-headed uncle in the village."
Haruno Sakura shook her head: "These people are full of energy and are gathering together at the moment to search for people everywhere on the island."
"Find someone? Who are they looking for?" Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the end of the bridge: "Are they looking for those two people?"
"No."Sakura looked a little dazed, "They were looking for the people who were taken away and imprisoned by those two people."
Before Naruto and Sasuke could ask further questions, Haruno Sakura immediately added: "I found a huge space opened up by earth release in the mountain."
"At least three to four hundred people were imprisoned there. Their limbs were embedded in rocks, and their mouths were blocked with things like bamboo tubes. It was difficult to even move. Judging from their appearance, these people are fishermen and there are also the core members of Gato's men who were taken away…"
"It's just that these people who were imprisoned all looked very strange. Their muscles were exaggeratedly swollen, their faces were ferocious, their eyes were bloodshot, and they were twisting their bodies exaggeratedly like crazy, not quite like they were conscious."
"So I guess those people were subjected to some strange experiments..."
The pity in Sakura's eyes was clear, but she was also truly frightened by what she saw before.
"It's possible."
Sasuke raised his eyebrows: "I remember that Orochimaru, who was killed by Giyu once, especially liked to catch people everywhere for experiments."
"Do you think it's because he was afraid of Giyu and didn't dare to go on land? To do these things, he moved the laboratory to the sea? And specifically asked his subordinates to wear masks made by Giyu? "
"It's not like that, let alone the fact that this place is right next to the Kingdom of Fire. At least Orochimaru should know that sooner or later, the mask thing will attract Giyu himself. Isn't that asking for trouble? "
Naruto pinched his chin, not quite agreeing with Sasuke's wild guess.
"Furthermore, if this was really the work of the cruel and cunning Orochimaru that the lecherous uncle said, how could Gato have the chance to seek help from the Ninja Village alive? The ninja who came to this island to drive them away before would never be able to return alive... "
"At least judging from the way these people behave without intending to silence them, I always feel that there should be other hidden reasons for this matter."
"Let's go over there and ask that Guy."
Sasuke looked at the end of the bridge and looked at Haruno Sakura again: "Where is that big man's accomplice? Have you found him?"
"No." Haruno Sakura replied: "There are on other people on the island Apart from the people who were captured and the islanders who were moving around freely, he was the only one."
"Ah? Did you miss something?"
Sasuke didn't believe it. "Didn't Gato say that those two people never came down after they went to the island?"
"What do you mean?" Haruno Sakura narrowed her eyes, the tone became dangerous: "Is my spiritual transformation technique unreliable?"
"I just ask if it is possible..."
"Although I have just started to use spiritual transformation techniques, this island is so big after all. Once my spirit body flies to the center, and no one on the entire island can escape from being noticed by me."
Sakura emphasized: "Even if I missed it, I can't just miss the strongest person, right??"
"...That makes sense."
Sasuke was convinced, and then his eyes flashed brightly.
"In other words, that guy is the only one we have to deal with now? How about it, you must have felt his chakra just now, right?"
"Yeah. The feeling he gave me, in terms of the amount of chakra, should be about the same as Sasuke. If such a person is not in a state of mental exhaustion, my spiritual transformation technique will not be able to deal with him."
"About?"
Sasuke still remembered what Gato said about the two people who came to the island. They all have a little baby voice, which means they are of the same age.
A comment like this was not what he wanted.
"At least I can be sure that this earth flow wall that stretches for more than ten kilometers is not his masterpiece."
Naruto felt a little relieved after hearing Sakura's evaluation.
"As for the other person... Since the people on the island did not starve to death, it means that their food supply was not interrupted. Maybe this person went out to buy food. For a powerful ninja, using ninjutsu to cross the sea should not be considered a problem."
"You think about people too well. It's a miracle that there are two people like Giyu and Kyojuro."
Sasuke stood up and stretched his limbs.
"Let's go. We've got all the information we can get through Sakura's investigation. It's time to have a face-to-face interview with that guy."
After saying that, he took out a long bow with sharp blades on both ends from his scroll and pulled it. With his bowstring full, he squinted one eye and aimed at the standing figure in the distance.
Just like the sword in Giyu's hand, his bow is also a ninja tool specially made for him by Uchiha Mikoto. The specific function is unknown to others except Sasuke, because he has not yet encountered a situation where he needs to use it.
"I hope that the first enemy I face after becoming a ninja can give me a sense of challenge!"
After saying that, he was the first to take steps towards the Land of Waves.
"We are not necessarily enemies yet! Don't make causal assumptions!"
Naruto and Sakura exchanged speechless expressions, packed up their things and followed.
[come yet? ]
The tall young man waiting at the bridge watched the three people getting closer and closer. He glanced at the huge stick that was as big as a pillar in his hand and felt that for the sake of the other party's safety, it was better not to use it.
Just let these three people retreat and drive them away.
Of course, the best result is that these three people can listen to the advice. In this case, there will be no need for conflict to break out at all.
[As long as Muichiro can get targeted drugs from Miss Shinobu and cure the people on the island, we can leave early tomorrow morning. ]
By that time, whoever wants to land on the island will have nothing to do with them.
This young man thought so well, but he ignored two points - one was his own temper; the other was Uchiha Sasuke's temper.
Finally, when Naruto and Sakura were still 50 meters away from the end of the bridge, he spoke.
"Don't go any further!"
Although this man's voice was a little childish, it sounded like a bell.
Compared with Kyojuro's inspiring words, his voice has more of a frightening effect.
This is especially true in front of this huge earth flow city wall and in this vast and empty sea.
This warning mixed with the sea breeze, blowing over the faces of the three people, making them frown at the same time, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on their bodies. It wasn't until several seconds later that they gradually dispelled the discomfort in their hearts.
After the discomfort left, what immediately emerged was the rebellious psychology unique to young people.
So not only did Sasuke not stop, he walked even faster.
"I say it again, turn back immediately -"
The second warning was interrupted by Sasuke loudly: "Hey! Your voice is so ugly, don't imitate others by speaking loudly! It makes my eardrums explode!"
The tall boy fell in silence.
The previous way of making sounds was learned when he and his master were practicing meditation.
Whether it's the policemen who want to arrest them when they go around killing demons, or the quarrelsome senior Giyu and brother when they meet at the Hashira meeting, or even the group of rampant Shura evil spirits in hell, whoever hears the screams With few exceptions, would be horrified and shocked as if struck by lightning.
But he couldn't even scare three little brats.
[It seems that my practice is still far behind compared to my teacher. ]
While thinking, Haruno Sakura and the others came closer and took a close look at the masked man blocking their way.
The mask this man wore was indeed the same as the one given to them by Giyu. Although they couldn't see each other's eyes clearly through the fox masks, they could still feel the fierce aura rushing towards them.
Taking his eyes away from the mask, Naruto took a closer look at the other man's torso. The black robe was simple in style, and the only memorable thing about it was that the other party's buttons were not round, but a red cloud, which looked like fire and blood.
As for the black robe, there is a strong body that cannot be hidden. The outline of the arm muscles looks even more exaggerated than Kyojuro.
[With such a physique and chakra equivalent to Sasuke, it is really not that simple...]
Naruto was just about to remind Sasuke not to act rashly and let him ask first, but the latter had already taken a step.
"Hey, let me ask you, where did your mask come from?"
The tall boy had no intention of answering.
If they had known that the mask would attract Giyu-senpai's younger brother, they would not have worn it in the first place.
And after all is said and done, the blame for this ultimately lies with Giyu. Because he insisted that this mask could bring good luck, so...
When Sasuke saw the other party's delay in answering, he curled his lips and simply threatened: "Your powerful accomplice is not here, so You better answer honestly what I asked you."
"It is impossible for you to be a match for any of us. Instead of us catching you and forcing you to speak, it's better to speak directly now. "
[Sasuke-kun, why are you saying the lines of the villain in the movie...]
Sakura complained helplessly: [What about 'you not being the opponent of anyone among us?' Don't take me with you!!!]
But This time, the man who looked like a wooden stake finally reacted.
"How do you know that my 'associate' is not here? "
In addition to doubts in the young man's tone, there was also a hint of danger.
Muichiro's Crow Ginko made it very clear that these three people were the only ones who came to the island. And these three people had always been within his and Ginko's sight. .
"Did you send any clones or anything like that to the island to investigate?" The young man took a step forward and asked in a very urgent tone: "Does it mean that you know what happened on the island?"
[If Ninja Village knew that that kind of seafood can bring 'power'...]
"Are you talking about the people you imprisoned? "
The young man's body was shaken.
It was an extremely secret place inside the mountain. How did they find it?
"While you were standing here in a daze, our 'clone'," Sasuke playfully stretched out his index fingers and gestured. There was a quotation sign, "Maybe we have rescued them."
" Rescued."
"Out. "
"coming. "
Sasuke's voice echoed in the tall boy's mind, and an unknown fire rushed from his belly to his head in an instant.
His innate personality and puberty made him not think too much about whether this was just Sasuke's tactic to test him.
"Do you know what you have done?! "
A roar surged out of his body, and the boy's arms stretched out from under the black robe. His exaggerated muscles were terrifying.
Without any unnecessary warning, he suddenly stretched out his hands and lifted the exaggerated stone stick. He raised it above his head, pressed his knees down, then jumped up into the sky like a tiger passing through the gap, and then crashed down like a meteor falling to the ground!
"It's going to be bad!"
Naruto shouted, and the three of them jumped out of the bridge as a loud noise broke out.
After landing on the beach, Sakura and others looked up in horror and found that the piers of the recently repaired cross-sea bridge seemed to be unable to bear such heavy pressure like the legs of the old man who could not bear the heavy pressure, quickly shattered and collapsed layer by layer.
[That's not a ninjutsu!]
[It's just a person jumping up and hitting the ground, okay?!]
Immediately afterwards, the last thirty seconds of the bridge Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the entire bridge deck, and then it quickly collapsed and fell into the shallows below. Suddenly, smoke and dust were everywhere, and it was covered in gray.
"I told you not to act rashly."
Naruto glanced at Sasuke, "You deliberately provoked him just to fight, right? "
"I didn't know he couldn't stand stimulation so much! "
Sasuke felt a little aggrieved.
He was just about to treat the wound on his wrist that was scratched by the broken stones, but he noticed a black shadow flying out of the dust and getting closer and closer to the three of them.
That thing was flying too fast. It came too suddenly, and it was too late to avoid it!
At the critical moment, Naruto gritted his teeth and jumped in front of Sasuke and Sakura. A light blue cyclone condensed in his right hand and pressed on the flying piece. On top of the ruins of the stone bridge.
"Rasengan!"
It is the ninjutsu that Jiraiya has taught Naruto in the past three years - the Rasengan.
The cyclone burst out with huge energy that was very inconsistent with its size, and immediately smashed the rocks into pieces.
But Naruto had no time to be happy - - Because after the stones were scattered, a rough and broad hand came forward.
The rough and powerful hand covered Naruto's face and threw him hard against the wall of earth flow surrounding the country of Waves. A large human-shaped crater was immediately created.
"Naruto! "
When Sasuke shouted loudly, the opponent had already raised his knees and bumped into him.
He didn't have time to think too much, and he hurriedly puffed up his cheeks, formed seals with his hands and used the all-too-familiar Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
The intense high temperature drove away, the air was blown away, blowing away Haruno Sakura's hair - She saw with her own eyes the hot fireball that instantly enveloped the opponent's entire body, and felt terrified because she didn't expect that someone would die in the hands of their team so soon.
However, less than a moment after this thought arose, it was completely shattered by the outrageous reality.
The tall figure emerged from the fire, without even interrupting the previous actions, and hit Sasuke's stomach with his raised knee.
The latter's eyes bulged, and he flew into the distance like a folded shrimp. He soon became neighbors with Uzumaki Naruto.
At this moment, the flames went out, and the man's black robe was burned to tatters, and the mask on his face also charred and cracked.
He pulled off the black robe with one hand, revealing the steel bones that were hardened but covered with scorch marks, and the mohawk-style white hair with a little brown and black under the hood.
And his other hand wiped off the mask and crushed it into pieces. The bloodshot eyes were crisscrossed with bloodshot eyes, full of violence, and in the gasping mouth, there were four sharp canine teeth. Reflecting the cold light like a blade.
He glanced at Haruno Sakura, who was nervously raising a kunai not far away, and then focused more on Naruto and Sasuke, who were helping each other to get up.
"Listen to me!"
"I don't care whose brother or student you are! "
The burns on his body disappeared quickly like an open zipper being closed, but the ferocity in his eyes gradually increased, like a completely angered beast.
"I, Shinazugawa Genya, put my words here today!"
"You three little brats who don't know the heights of heaven and earth! Don't even think about going out today!"
