Accompanied by a familiar dizzying sensation.

When Bai Yu came to his senses, he found himself in a forest.

The unique freshness of the forest soil made me take a deep breath.

At the same time, his Observation Haki spread rapidly.

Having learned from his first experience, Bai Yu was noticeably more adept at handling things.

To successfully complete a dungeon run, the first thing you need to do is figure out exactly where you are.

Something's up?

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and suddenly turned his gaze to the distant forest.

With his mastery of Observation Haki, he could clearly picture everything that was happening seven or eight kilometers away.

Originally, Bai Yu didn't want to get involved in things outside the mission, but now that he needed to find out exactly where he was, he decided to get involved.

So I'll do whatever I can to help out.

Seven or eight kilometers.

Dozens of dark figures sped through the forest.

The speed was so fast that it was practically impossible for the naked eye to perceive it.

However, these people did not stop at all, but stared intently at the two graceful figures moving quickly forward in the distance.

With a sudden flick of his Shuriken of shuriken rained down, chasing after the two figures.

" Earth Release · Earth Release Wall!"

The black-haired girl, wearing Konoha Forehead Protector, suddenly stopped her body as her hands flew rapidly, and slammed her hand on the ground.

As the Chakra dormant within him surged forth, the ground beneath his feet rumbled, and a massive earthen wall, seven or eight meters high, rose up.

Bang bang bang bang!

The Shuriken was instantly blocked by the earthen wall.

Upon seeing this, the black-haired girl revealed a hint of joy, but before she could even smile, a hurried shout reached her ears.

" Koharu, watch out!"

Pfft!

The ground beneath their feet was pierced as if made of paper, and a figure burst out from the mud, wielding Kunai, and thrust it towards the black-haired girl.

Upon seeing the sudden attack, Utatane Koharu's expression changed drastically.

They never expected that the Shuriken raining down on them were just a decoy; the real attack was Headhunter Jutsu hidden underground.

Unfortunately, the attack was so close that Utatane Koharu had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the attack landed on her.

As for the Red-Haired woman who was not far away, just as she was about to make a move to save her, seven or eight figures rushed out from behind her and quickly attacked.

Seeing the dense barrage of attacks, the Red-Haired woman's face darkened, and she the Roar angrily.

" Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

Bang bang bang!

Golden chains burst forth from the woman's body, coiling around the attacker like venomous snakes.

They thwarted all their attacks.

At the same time, he swayed and pushed the Body Flicker Technique to its limit.

Unfortunately, after taking only half a step, he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

She let out a muffled groan, blood already seeping from the corner of her mouth, a stark contrast to her deathly pale face.

At the same time, golden vertical pupils appeared in his originally brown eyes.

An indescribable crimson Chakra, like a raging tide, exploded within her body, creating a massive shockwave.

The sudden turn of events did indeed surprise many people.

However, this clearly did not change Utatane Koharu's situation at all.

The only thing you can do is watch helplessly as the killing move rapidly magnifies in your pupils.

Bang!

A dull thud echoed between heaven and earth.

Xiaochun, resigned to her fate, closed her eyes as she turned to her new room.

Unfortunately, the long-awaited death never came.

The bizarre scene made her involuntarily open her eyes, but the first thing she saw caused her pupils to contract sharply.

"Yes, it's you!"

" Koharu, what's wrong? Do you know him?"

The Red-Haired woman's expression suddenly tensed.

Utatane Koharu, was indeed rescued.

However, when faced with this unexpected figure, as Jinchūriki and the daughter of the Uzumaki Clan's patriarch, her forte was sensory perception.

However, they never found out how the boy in front of them had appeared.

If the boy were a friend, they would have a better chance of being rescued.

If they were enemies, it would probably be adding insult to injury for them.

In particular, the Adamantine Sealing Chains she had used in the heat of the moment to save people had greatly reduced the sealing power within her body.

She certainly didn't want the people who came this time to be enemies, not friends.

"No, I don't know him, I've only... only seen him before." Utatane Koharu, slightly regaining her composure, stammered.

Have you seen it?

The Red-Haired woman's expression froze.

Utatane Koharu, as one of the successors trained by the First Hokage and Second Hokage, has always been independent and capable, and can be regarded as a figurehead.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked going on this mission with her this time.

However, the flustered demeanor that Utatane Koharu is displaying now is completely different from her previous self.

"You are Mito Uzumaki, the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails in this generation?"

Bai Yu glanced back at the Red-Haired woman behind him, who was probably in her thirties and would definitely be considered a young woman on Earth.

She wore a white kimono, with two talismans representing the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu hanging from her ears.

This makes Mito Uzumaki's temperament even more ethereal.

As expected of the First Hokage, the wife of Hashirama Senju, known as the God of the Shinobi World.

If this had happened twenty years ago, Bai Yu might have considered shamelessly striking up a conversation.

Let's forget about it for now.

"So you know about the Nine-Tails? Are you here to steal Nine-Tails? This originally belonged to Konoha Ninja Village of the Land of Fire; it was only recently recovered. If you're an ally sent by Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning, even if you want to take the Nine-Tails, you'll have to step over my dead body first."

Mito Uzumaki pale, and she gritted her teeth, speaking with resentment.

"Of course, don't forget my identity. I am the wife of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju. If you want to take the Nine-Tails from me, you will have to pay a heavy price, and you might even die."

" Koharu, I'm sorry, but this time I made you risk your life on this mission. I'll buy you some time. As a new force in Konoha Ninja Village, you absolutely cannot die here."

"If they insist on annihilating us, I'll just completely open the seal on the Nine-Tails at the very end."

"I don't believe anyone can escape unscathed from the Nine-Tails."

E's long voice carried an air of unquestionable certainty.

The words landed on the ears of the Kumogakure Anbu were pursuing them and scattered around, causing their expressions to darken slightly and reveal a solemn look.

Their mission this time was primarily to prevent the Nine-Tails from falling into the hands of Konoha Ninja Village.

But when they actually face the legendary Nine-Tails, it's a different story.

" Lady Mito, can we please not have the Nine-Tails?"
