The other side.
Naruto squatted down, looked at Yu Liu who was crying in Hinata's arms, and said softly.
"Yu Liu."
His voice was calm but had a reassuring power.
"Those things, no matter what the truth is... I believe that in Uncle Shinnō's heart, you will always be his most proud disciple."
He stretched out his hand and patted Yu Liu's head gently.
"So as his most proud disciple... cheer up and rescue the villagers first, okay?"
Yu Liu raised his head and looked at him with blurred eyes.
There was no pity or perfunctoryness in those blue eyes, only a firmness that was irrefutable.
Her dim eyes lit up again.
Finally, she bit her lip, nodded vigorously, and said softly, "Yeah."
"Yoshi!" Naruto grinned and stood up.
"Then, let's go!"
In this way, the three of them slowly climbed up along the outer wall of the ruins.
Finally, they found an entrance.
First, I made a brief observation and then cautiously entered after confirming that it was safe.
But when they came inside, they found that there was no one inside. Only the sound of explosions and sirens coming from below echoed in the empty space.
"There seems to be a fight inside..."
Naruto Listening to the movement, the corner of his mouth twitched.
That guy in the mask moves really fast.
The three of them quickened their pace and moved deeper along the corridor.
Hinata turned on Byakugan and scanned the surroundings.
"The location of the villagers is... middle to upper class.
And that person's Chakra is also there. He... has arrived in the cell."
There was a hint of surprise in her voice.
"So fast?" Naruto was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
How long has it been? That guy has already found the villagers?
But he quickly came to his senses and quickened his pace.
"Then let's hurry up! Don't let that guy steal the show alone!"
The three of them walked through corridor after corridor and turned corner after corner.
At this moment, Hinata kept staring ahead, frowning slightly.
"Naruto-kun, at this rate, it will take some time for us to reach the cell. But..."
She paused.
"But that person seems to be ready to take the villagers away."
Naruto stopped, glanced at the long corridor, and then at the underground.
This is several floors away from the prison cell.
If you follow the normal route, you have to take a long detour.
He thought for a moment and suddenly grinned.
"Then go in a straight line."
Hinata was stunned.
"Straight line?"
Naruto has no explanation, just Hand Seals from both hands, and one Shadow Clone is separated.
"Rasengan!"
A blue ball of light condensed in the palm of his hand, and he slammed Rasengan onto the floor.
"Boom--!!"
Rubbles flew everywhere and a big hole was blown into the floor.
In the smoke and dust, Naruto shook his hand and looked down.
Below is a shorter corridor, and beyond that are the stairs.
"It's much closer indeed!"
He nodded with satisfaction, turned around and waved to Hinata and Yu Liu.
"Let's go, let's go! This way!"
Hinata opened his mouth, wondering if this would be too violent.
But seeing that Naruto had already gotten into the hole, she could only follow helplessly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In this way, Naruto demolished the wall and moved forward in a straight line.
Three floors, two floors, one floor.
Finally, after blasting the last floor, he finally saw the corridor leading to the cell.
He turned his head and glanced to the right, and saw the gap in the wall on his right that seemed to have been blasted out by a huge force. There were still traces of broken ice crystals on the edge. He could tell whose handiwork it was at a glance.
Look to the left and you can see the unconscious Sky Ninja lying on the ground.
Some were frozen into ice sculptures, with frightened expressions frozen in the transparent ice.
Some were knocked unconscious by a single blow and lay twisted on the ground without even a trace of resistance.
Naruto looked at those Sky Ninja and couldn't help but be speechless.
"That guy... he strikes really neatly."
Just as he was sighing, dozens of weak villagers were supporting each other and slowly walking out of the stairs at the end of the corridor.
And at the front of the team, the white-haired figure was tilting his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Hey--!" Naruto waved his hand and jumped on the spot twice.
"We're here to help!"
Ning Xue heard the shout and looked up at him.
Then he walked forward, his eyes sweeping over the blasted-riddled floors above him, and he was silent for a second.
"You make too much noise."
"Ah?" Naruto scratched his head, looking innocent.
"Anyway, those Sky Ninja have been beaten down by you, what are you afraid of?"
Ning Xue didn't answer, just looked at the weak villagers.
"They need to get out of here as soon as possible."
Naruto followed his gaze and his face became serious.
Indeed, many people could not even stand firmly, and several children were already unconscious. They were carried by adults, their little heads hanging limply on their shoulders, and their breathing so shallow that it was almost inaudible.
"But... how to get down?"
Naruto scratched his head and looked at the clear sky outside the hole at the end of the corridor, as if he suddenly thought of this question.
Ning Xue was silent for a moment after hearing this, then turned around and walked towards Sky Ninja who was knocked unconscious by him.
Squat down, make fists, and drop.
"Bang."
"Wake up."
The Sky Ninja opened his eyes in a daze under the punch. When he saw the cold mask in front of him, he was so frightened that he suddenly woke up and instinctively crawled back.
"You--!"
"How to get down?"
Ning Xue's voice is very calm.
But it made Sky Ninja feel as if a cold hand was strangling his throat, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
"I... I don't know..."
Ning Xue said nothing, but raised his hand, and a Ice Cone condensed in his palm, which was pressed against his neck.
"I said! I said!" This Sky Ninja saw Ice Cone reaching his throat and was so frightened that his diaper wet.
"The upper level... there is a landing pad on the top level! There is a backup airship there! You can land directly!"
Ning Xue took back Ice Cone, stood up, and looked at Naruto.
"You take the villagers up."
"What about you?" Naruto asked.
Ning Xue didn't answer, just raised his head and looked at the ceiling above his head.
Byakugan's vision penetrated the layers of metal plates and looked straight towards the center of the ruins.
There, there is a space that exudes strong Chakra fluctuations.
altar.
