Hinata's Easy Rescue and Learning the Eight Gates Released Formation

The Old Monk was actually the leader of a band of Rogue Ninja.

Several years earlier, he had posed as an enlightened monk and used Genjutsu to deceive the old Daimyo. That was how he became a high-ranking official in the Land of Birds.

Later, he poisoned the old Daimyo and his son. Now he wanted to kill the new Daimyo and take over.

That was roughly what Naruto remembered about the Land of Birds. He had forgotten the details, and he had no need to dig into them.

He only knew that the girl he intended to marry was in danger, and he was going to kill her enemies.

It was that simple.

When Naruto saw the Old Monk unleash a ruthless attack, breathing a Fire Dragon to kill Hinata, he roared, "You're dead!"

He swept a hand forward, and an azure Wind Wall rose around him, shielding Hinata and her two teammates.

Fire might overcome wind, but the Fire Dragon struck the overwhelmingly powerful Wind Wall and quickly dissipated.

The Old Monk's heart lurched when Naruto suddenly appeared. Seeing his Fire Dragon blocked, he hurriedly retreated.

He grabbed the Daimyo of the Land of Birds, ducked into the building, and vanished through a secret passage.

At the same time, dozens of Masked Ninja appeared around them. All were Rogue Ninja under the Old Monk's command, and they charged Naruto and the other three from every direction.

A white-haired lackey who appeared to be their captain stood on the roof. Looking smugly at the surrounded Naruto, he laughed wildly:

"Another little brat here to die?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes at him. A moment later, the Wind Wall surged outward.

Every Rogue Ninja it touched was hurled away and crashed to the ground. Some suffered broken bones; others fell unconscious.
