Madara Uchiha walked over from the front of the group.
He unfolded a map and pointed to the markings on it.
Do you know this location?
Mei Terumi took the map, glanced at it, and nodded.
"Know."
"Continue southeast from here, pass through a forest, and you'll see Mount Katsuragi."
Ban looked at Zhang Yu.
"Having her lead the way will save a lot of time."
Zhang Yu did not answer immediately.
Mei Terumi's gaze fell on Madara.
It's surprising that Madara Uchiha, with his immense power, would proactively seek instructions from Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was able to decide the entire team's actions with just a glance at the map.
Who exactly is this man?
Mei Terumi's curiosity about Zhang Yu grew even stronger.
"Can."
Zhang Yu put away the map.
"Then I'll trouble Lord Mizukage to lead the way."
Mei Terumi nodded.
"Stay close to me."
The team set off again.
Tsunade stayed close to Zhang Yu, giving Mei Terumi almost no chance to get close.
Mei Terumi looked back several times, her smile growing wider and wider.
After walking for half an hour, Zhang Yu suddenly stopped.
I need to use the restroom.
He was just about to leave when Tsunade followed him.
I'll go too.
Zhang Yu turned to look at her.
What are you doing following along?
Can't I go with you?
Of course.
Zhang Yu said in a very serious tone:
"It's something that can be resolved in two minutes, but if you go with them, it could take half an hour."
Tsunade's face flushed red.
What nonsense are you talking about?
I'm just reminding you.
Who wants to waste half an hour with you!
Tsunade turned and left, her face flushed as she returned to the group.
Mei Terumi watched this scene with a strange look in her eyes.
Zhang Yu coughed and walked alone into the nearby woods.
The team quickly set off again.
Hashirama and Madara walked at the very front.
Tobirama and Izuna stayed at the back of the group to clean up any traces.
Zhang Yu walked in the middle, with a mini Three-Tails perched on his left shoulder and a small Nine-Tails crouching on his right shoulder.
The miniature Three-Tails turtle was tucked inside its shell, with only its two eyes showing.
Nine-Tails Fox was holding Zhang Yu's hair, its tail wagging incessantly.
Mei Terumi, holding a map, walked around and described the surroundings.
"There is a Tsuchigumo Clan near Mount Katsuragi."
This ethnic group split ten years ago.
"Some people remained in the forest to live in seclusion."
"The other group moved to Mount Katsuragi and built a castle."
Zhang Yu nodded.
Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, was hiding near the Tsuchigumo Clan.
Utakata also had an apprentice named Hotaru.
According to the original timeline, Ying shouldn't have officially become an apprentice for too long.
It was published more than a year earlier than the original novel.
The procession continued forward.
Soon, a huge castle appeared at the edge of the forest.
The city walls are tall, and from a distance they look like a giant beast lying at the foot of the mountain.
Mei Terumi looked at the castle and slowly said:
"During the reign of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, the Kirigakure Incident occurred in Bloody Mist Village."
"Although that turmoil has passed, the Anbu have never stopped searching for the Six-Tails Jinchuriki."
They believe the Six-Tails Jinchuriki is still alive.
"If we find him, we can regain control of the Six-Tails."
Tsunade frowned.
" Kirigakure still hunting down the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?"
The Anbu will not abandon the Tailed Beast.
Mei Terumi said:
"Especially since the village has just recovered from the chaos, it needs more strength to stabilize the situation."
Just then, Madara Uchiha stopped in his tracks.
He looked up at the northern jungle.
"A group of people are moving about 80 or 90 kilometers away."
Tobirama turned around and asked:
"How strong are you?"
"Not even a Jonin."
Ban closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.
"There are more than a dozen people, and they are heading towards Mount Katsuragi."
Zhang Yu looked at the castle ahead.
"You shall continue your advance."
"Wait for me near Mount Katsuragi Castle."
Tsunade immediately said:
I'll go with you.
"Need not."
There were more than a dozen of them.
No one can hurt me.
Tsunade frowned.
"I just wanted to help."
"I know."
Zhang Yu raised his hand and patted her shoulder.
"But this time I'm faster by myself."
After he finished speaking, his body slowly rose into the air.
Before Tsunade could speak, Zhang Yu had already transformed into a black shadow and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
Mei Terumi looked up in the direction he had left, her pupils slightly contracting.
flight.
And it was moving so fast that she couldn't even see it clearly.
This Zhang Yu is more mysterious than she imagined.
In the northern jungle, a girl dressed in purple is desperately running away.
She had long red hair and her face was covered in sweat.
A dozen or so ninjas were in hot pursuit.
"Hotaru, don't run away!"
"Hand over the forbidden techniques of the Tsuchigumo Clan!"
"If you hand over the secret technique, we can spare your life!"
The girl did not turn around.
She gritted her teeth and continued walking through the trees.
"Lord Shiranami wants a secret technique!"
"What use is it for a little girl like you to guard it?"
Firefly did not answer.
She knew that if she fell into Shiranami's hands, not only would her secret technique be taken away, but she would also lose her life.
The chase lasted for more than ten minutes.
Firefly finally broke out of the jungle and ran onto the open grassland.
Her strength was almost exhausted, and her pace slowed down.
The pursuers quickly caught up and surrounded her.
The leading man pointed at her.
"Grab her!"
"Don't let her get away!"
Several ninjas flanked from both sides.
Hotaru kept retreating, her hands already resting on the ninja tools at her waist.
But she's been fleeing all this way, Chakra has been depleted too much.
In their current state, it will be difficult to break through.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind the leader.
What are you chasing?
The leader was startled and quickly turned around.
Zhang Yu had appeared behind him without his noticing.
The two were less than a meter apart.
Who are you?
Zhang Yu did not answer, but instead continued to ask:
"I asked you what you're chasing."
The leader looked at Zhang Yu's clothes, confirmed that he wasn't wearing Forehead Protector, and quickly regained his arrogant tone.
Mind your own business.
"We are subordinates of Lord Shirou of the Shiranami Tsuchigumo Clan."
"This girl possesses a forbidden technique of the Tsuchigumo Clan, and Lord Shiranami desires the secret technique she holds."
You'd better leave right now.
Zhang Yu nodded.
"I see."
The leader had barely smiled when Zhang Yu's fist slammed into his stomach.
Bang!
A dull thud resounded.
The leader's eyes widened suddenly, his body arched like a bow, and he was sent flying backward.
He flew more than ten meters, crashed into a large tree, and then rolled onto the grass.
The remaining ninjas were all stunned.
"Boss!"
"He sent the leader flying with one punch?"
"What kind of power is this?"
Someone whispered:
"The one who was just knocked away was our leader."
Zhang Yu turned around and glanced at him.
"I can tell."
The ninja turned pale and immediately took a step back.
The henchmen exchanged glances, then suddenly pulled out axes from behind Zhang Yu.
"Do it!"
Three axes flew out simultaneously.
Zhang Yu didn't even turn his head.
