The chaos in the arena continued, with shouts of death and the roar of ninjutsu coming one after another.
On the edge of the roof of the arena, Ye Tian, who had just completed a wave of "scavenging" feats, was contentedly stuffing the small jade bottle containing Impure World Reincarnation dust into the deepest part of Storage Bag.
"Huh... this trip was not in vain."
Ye Tian patted the non-existent dust on the cuffs, and reluctantly took his eyes back from the purple Four Violet Flames Formation.
Although the battle inside was still exciting, he knew very well that the aftermath of a battle of that level was not something he could easily intervene in now.
Moreover, the end of Third Hokage Hokage is a foregone conclusion, and there is no more money to be made if we continue to watch.
"Where to go next?"
Ye Tian stood at a high place, Divine Sense spread out like a tide, scanning the chaotic Konoha.
At this moment, a rapid barking of dogs and a familiar shout came from below.
"Sasuke that idiot! He caught up with him alone!"
Naruto Uzumaki was shouting anxiously at Kakashi who was fighting with Sound Ninja. Beside him, Sakura's face was full of tears, while Shikamaru had a look of "I'm in trouble". It was obvious that he was forcibly dragged over by Naruto.
"Sasuke..."
Kakashi kicked one Sound Ninja away, and used Kunai to block the other person's attack with his backhand, frowning.
He knows how dangerous Sasuke's current state is. That Curse Mark is like a time bomb that may detonate at any time. And his opponent is the extremely unstable Sandstorm Gaara.
"Someone must support Sasuke!"
Kakashi bit his finger and quickly Hand Seals slapped it on the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Bang!
A burst of white smoke dissipated, and a pug wearing a blue vest and a cute expression appeared in front of everyone.
Ninja Dog, Pakkun.
"Hey, Kakashi, is it so lively?" Pakkun raised his paw and said hello, then his nose twitched, "It smells so strong of blood."
"Pakkun, there is no time to explain."
Kakashi spoke very fast, "Take Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru and immediately track the scent of Sasuke! We must stop him before he completely loses control!"
"Understood." Pakkun nodded, turned around and started to lead the way.
"Wait!"
Kakashi suddenly stopped everyone who was about to set off, looking past the chaotic crowd, he accurately landed on Ye Tian who was about to sneak away.
"Ye Tian!"
This shout made Ye Tian, who was about to apply oil on the soles of his feet and go to "make a fortune" elsewhere, stiffen.
"Ahem...Kakashi-sensei, you are busy with your business, I won't disturb you... Ahem..."
Ye Tian turned around, clutched his chest, and immediately returned to his half-dead, sick look, "My bones were blown by the wind just now, and I'm a little cold. I'm planning to go back to the hospital for infusion..."
"Stop pretending."
Kakashi sighed helplessly. Although he knew that Ye Tian liked to be lazy, his performance in the Land of Waves mission made him understand that this boy was very reliable at critical moments.
"This mission is very dangerous. The opponents are the rampaging Jinchūriki. Naruto and the three of them are still Genin. They are inexperienced. I need someone who has judgment and can provide support in large-scale battles."
Kakashi stared at Ye Tian with sincere and serious eyes, "Ye Tian, I'm asking you to help me take care of them and bring Sasuke back."
"This..."
Ye Tian looked troubled.
Are you kidding me? Chasing Gaara? That Tanuki is on the verge of going berserk now, and may turn into the complete Shukaku at any time. Although he is not afraid of monsters of that level, it is too strenuous to fight, and there is no benefit. It is purely a loss-making business.
"Kakashi-sensei, it's not that I won't go, it's just..."
Ye Tian just wanted to use "doctor's advice" to refuse.
At this moment, the system in his mind that had been silent for a long time suddenly issued a clear beep.
[Ding! Special plot node detected: One-Tail Shukaku's complete awakening.]
[Task tip: When the complete Shukaku is in a runaway state, the accompanying "Wind Spirit Sand Gold" will be peeled off from the body due to the violent friction of Chakra.]
[Item description: Wind Spirit Sand Gold, a top-quality refining material containing the characteristics of high-purity wind attributes Spiritual Power and Magnet Release. It can be used to refine "Wind-Thunder Fan" and "Wind-Sealing Orb" or to enhance the flight speed of Life-Bound Flying Sword.]
[Drop probability: extremely high (can only be picked up during the rampage).]
Ye Tian's words of rejection were instantly stuck in his throat.
Wind Spirit Sand Gold?!
Ye Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and there seemed to be two gold ingots shining deep in the pupils.
That is a wind-attribute spiritual material that is rare even in the world of immortality! In this world, although the sand of Gaara is powerful, it is because it is mixed with Chakra of Shukaku. And this "accompanied Sand Gold" is the purified essence!
Just being as big as a fingernail can increase his Flying Sword speed by 30%!
If I could get a gourd...
"Ahem!"
Ye Tian straightened his back suddenly, and his originally weak temperament instantly became righteous and awe-inspiring.
He limped Earth Flow to Kakashi, patted his chest hard (and then pretended to grin in pain):
"Kakashi-sensei! What are you talking about!"
Ye Tian said righteously, "Sasuke is my best friend and brother, Naruto is my adopted brother (unilaterally recognized), Konoha is my home! Now that my companions are in trouble, how can I, Ye Tian, shrink back just because of a minor illness?"
"Even if I risk my life, even if I cough out the last mouthful of blood, I will bring them back intact!"
What he said was so resounding and touching.
Naruto burst into tears when he heard this. "Brother Ye Tian! You are indeed the most loyal!"
Only Shikamaru, who knew his nature well, rolled his eyes and whispered, "It's so troublesome... This guy must be up to something else."
Although Kakashi felt that Ye Tian's attitude change was a bit too fast, he didn't have time to delve into it and nodded. "Then please! Let's go!"
"Yes!"
In the forest outside Konoha, the shadows of the trees are mottled.
A team of four people and one dog were traveling among the branches at high speed.
"The smell of Sasuke is getting stronger and stronger, and there is also a disgusting smell of sand."
Pakkun ran at the front, his short legs flying very fast, "It's not far ahead, everyone, speed up!"
"Okay!" Naruto took the lead, kicked hard on the tree trunk, and shot out like a cannonball.
Sakura and Shikamaru followed closely behind, using Chakra to absorb tree trunks to jump and move. This is the most basic way for ninjas to travel.
However, at the very back of the team, the style of painting became a little weird.
Ye Tian wasn't jumping around in the trees like the others.
He was holding a cane in his hand and looked like he was taking a leisurely walk, but his speed was astonishingly fast, and he even had a faint tendency to surpass Naruto.
If you look carefully, you will find that his feet are not touching the ground at all!
On the inside of his pants legs, there is a yellow talisman that emits a faint green light - [Divine Movement Talisman·Improved Version].
With the blessing of these two talismans, Ye Tian's body seemed to have lost gravity. Every time his toes tapped the leaves, his whole body seemed to be lifted up by a gust of breeze, gliding lightly tens of meters away.
Her movements are elegant, her posture is calm, and even her jumpsuit Kakuzu didn't make any noise.
"That... what ninjutsu is that?"
Shikamaru looked back, his eyes almost popping out of his head, "There was no explosion of Chakra, and there was no mark of Body Flicker Technique... He was just floating like that?"
"Ahem... this is... this is my own creation of 'Lightness Skill: Water-Gliding'."
Ye Tian is actually not relaxed at this time. Although Divine Movement Talisman saves effort, "gliding" in this forest full of branches requires extremely high micro-control of Divine Sense. He has to control the direction at all times, and he also has to pretend to be tired, and his heart is very tired.
"Don't worry about these details, Shikamaru." Ye Tian said weakly, "The point is... guests are coming."
"What?" Shikamaru was stunned.
At this moment, Pakkun, who was leading the way, suddenly braked. "Be careful! There is an ambush!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Several Kunais, carrying Explosive Tags, shot out from the bushes on the side.
"Enemy attack!"
Naruto reacted extremely quickly, and Multiple Shadow Clone activated instantly, blocking the first wave of attacks.
Boom! Boom!
There was an explosion and smoke filled the air.
Three ninjas wearing Otogakure costumes jumped out of the smoke and blocked everyone's way.
"Hey, I didn't expect there were a few little mice that slipped through the net."
The leader, Sound Ninja, was a muscular man with a sinewy face. He held a huge meteor hammer in his hand and said with a ferocious smile, "Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving. Lord Orochimaru has ordered that no one should interfere with Lord Sasuke's 'awakening'."
"Damn it! Get out of the way!" Naruto roared and rushed forward.
"Wait, Naruto."
Ye Tian suddenly stretched out his crutch and stopped Naruto.
He slowly floated up from behind and stood at the front of the team.
"There is no need to waste your Chakra on this kind of trash fish."
Ye Tian looked at the three Sound Ninja, with no murderous intent in his eyes, but with a... kindness as if he saw a wallet.
"You guys... should have a lot of ninja tools and Explosive Tag with you, right?"
Ye Tian asked inexplicably.
"Huh?" The Sound Ninja strong man was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "How dare you talk nonsense when you are about to die! Go to hell!"
He swung the meteor hammer and hit Ye Tian on the head with a roaring sound.
"Ye Tian Be careful!" Sakura exclaimed.
Facing this powerful and heavy blow, Ye Tian didn't even blink.
"Too slow."
He just raised his right hand slightly, and his broad sleeves swayed in the wind.
"Since you are in such a hurry to deliver the express, I won't be polite."
[Sword Flight Technique·Instant kill]
Buzz!
An extremely subtle sword sound sounded.
A dark red stream of light shot out from Ye Tian's cuffs without any warning!
It was a small sword only three inches long, all dark red. It was Life-Bound Flying Sword that was refined from Kubikiribōchō Fragment by Ye Tian - "Blood Drinker".
Too fast.
It was so fast that even the strong Sound Ninja man didn't see what it was, he only felt a red light flashing in front of his eyes.
Poof!
A soft sound.
The movement of the strong man wielding the meteor hammer was frozen instantly. A small blood hole appeared between his eyebrows.
Immediately afterwards.
Phew! Phew!
There were two more muffled sounds.
The two Sound Ninja who were following him also grabbed their throats and fell down before they could Hand Seals.
The red light drew a graceful arc in the air, like a poisonous snake that had eaten and drank enough. It swished back into Ye Tian's sleeve and disappeared.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Three corpses fell neatly to the ground.
Instant kill.
The whole place was dead silent.
Naruto opened his mouth wide, Shadow Imitation Technique in Shikamaru's hand hadn't completed the seal yet, and Pakkun's dog eyes were widened.
"What... what is this?" Shikamaru swallowed, looking at Ye Tian with eyes filled with horror.
"Ahem... ahem! Ahem!"
Ye Tian suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently. His whole body was shaking, as if the blow just now had exhausted all his life force.
"This... this is my... family secret...Flying Needle Technique... ahem... if I use it once... I will lose three years of my life..."
Ye Tian said "Short life" while rushing to the side of the three corpses with extremely quick movements.
He squatted down skillfully and quickly took off the ninja tool bags of the three people. He didn't even let go of the meteor hammer and stuffed it directly into the bamboo basket (system space) behind him.
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat... Although the quality of these Explosive Tag is a bit poor, it can still be used. There is also this meteor hammer, which has a good content of Iron Essence, which can be melted to replenish the pot..."
Naruto: "..."
Shikamaru: "..."
Everyone looked at the back of the figure who was "vomiting blood" while skillfully touching the corpse, and a thought came to their minds:
Is this guy... really here to save people? Why does it feel like he's here to purchase goods?
"Okay, it's cleaned up."
Ye Tian stood up, patted his bulging pockets, and showed a weak smile to his stunned teammates.
"Keep on going... ahem... for Sasuke, for Konoha... if I don't go to hell, who will?"
After saying that, he activated Divine Movement Talisman again and floated deep into the forest like a ghost.
"Hurry up!" Pakkun shuddered. He didn't know why, but he felt that following this sick man was more disturbing than facing the enemy.
Ahead, an extremely violent and cold Chakra wave is rapidly approaching.
That is the scent of One-Tail Shukaku.
It is also the huge, walking "high-quality weapon refining material library" in Ye Tian's eyes.
