Bang! ~

The knife fell down and hit Lao Zi's back neck. Lao Zi, exhausted and severely injured on his left shoulder, did not resist and immediately fell into a coma.

Twisted into a tight-fitting crimson devil belt, and no longer felt the feeling of struggle, Xia Shu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and raised her hand to wipe away the sweat from her forehead.

The consumption and burden of controlling the seven ninja swords was much greater than he expected, especially against enemies like the four-tailed man, Jijiriki. After continuous battles, his physical strength and chakra were about to reach his limit.

"Huh! It's almost!" Xia Shu said gladly.

If the Crimson Demon Belt does not solve Lao Zi, he can only take the risk of trying to enter the Immortal Mode. In addition to releasing the water escape attack on Lao Zi, the two shadow clones that were divided were originally intended to rely on them to condense the immortal art chakra, and then remove the shadow clone and let him enter the Immortal Mode instantly.

As for why he was a risky attempt - the cultivation of the Immortal Mode, although he had completed it, he had not yet reached the level of perfection. So if he was in a poor state, his physical strength and chakra would drop significantly in this way. Then he would rashly enter the Immortal Mode and might not be able to control it and instead be swallowed by natural energy.

"Can we both leave?" asked the shadow clone who knocked out of Lao Zi and tilted his head.

"You two are useless, of course you guys who are useless have to leave." Xia Shu rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Bang! Bang! ~

The smoke drifted away, and the two shadow clones decisively left the scene.

On the side of the Kochi Mountain, the rising sun has risen into the air. A pungent smell has risen in the magma that no longer continues to spread. In this bleak and cold place, there is a special desolation.

"This guy...is Renjiri?"

Slug said in a soft voice with an extremely serious tone. Although she couldn't tell her expression, she thought she should be very serious, right?

"Iwain's four-tailed man, Churiki, seems to be a guy named Lao Zi." Natsuki pinched his chin and said deliberately in an uncertain tone.

"How come Jiriki, the Iwai Hiroshi, is here?" The slug said in confusion with his inconspicuous neck, which was not obvious but with long neck.

"Who knows?" Xia Shu shrugged and spread her hands, "But since she has caught it, she cannot let it go easily."

"But, Lord Natsuki, the war has just ended. Will Ikki seize the handle and take the opportunity to provoke a dispute again?" Slug said in a worried manner.

"So let's just catch him, but you can't let Konoha know for the time being, so, Sister Slug." Natsuki said to Slug with a smile, "Tsunade's side must also hide it."

"Your Madam Tsunade can't say it?" Slug hesitated.

"Although I believe that if I explain this matter clearly to Tsunade, she will agree and keep the secret. But it is related to the first generation assigned to the four tails of Iwaku Village. Once the leak occurs, it will have a huge impact, and even put the ninja world in a mess again." Natsuki said seriously, "In order to avoid such a situation, it is best to completely conceal this matter!"

"Okay, I understand." Slug nodded after hearing this, "I will keep the secret. Even Master Tsunade, I won't say it!"

"Then he will leave it to you." Xia Shu picked up Lao Zi and threw it in front of the slug.

"Yeah!" said the slug and suddenly cracked open, turning into an arm-sized slug, submerging the coma Lao Zi, then removed the psychic technique and returned to the wet bone forest.

"Alas? By the way, can Renzhuli live in a place like the wet bone forest?" Thinking of the harsh environment of the wet bone forest and the corrosive acid pond, Xia Shu hesitated for a moment.

He didn't think much about it, and turned around and threw it away. Anyway, the person had already sent it away, so he didn't have any extra chakra and he had to make trouble again.

"Get out of here first, find a safe place to restore the chakra."

He glanced around him, confirmed that there was no breath of life, and then turned around and left.

...

The ninja continent has five major countries as its main area, and there are some small countries in between. Some of them have to be in a position, so in order to protect themselves, they have formed their own ninja forces. The most prominent example is the Land of Rain.

In addition to the central area of ​​the mainland, there are also some countries in the west. This place is not suitable for living, but it is also far away from war and disputes. People have lived here for a long time, developed a unique culture, and lived a quiet life.

The Kingdom of Ghost is such a country.

The investigation task that Xia Shu took on was in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

According to legend, some monsters and monsters came from another world and came to the ninja world continent, gathered believers for their own use, and taught believers the technology to create a ghost army like terracotta warriors and horses, thereby launching a fierce war with the five major powers.

Faced with the army of ghosts that were invincible in the battle, the five major countries had to give up their prejudices. Then, with the help of the witches in the Kingdom of Ghosts, the body of monsters was sealed in a mysterious ancestral hall in the Kingdom of Swamps, and the soul was buried with the army of ghosts in the underground temple of Ghosts.

As for Natsuki's investigation mission, it originated from the Anbu ninja who was active in the Land of Earth. It accidentally discovered a ninja force active near the Land of Ghosts. It is suspected that the other party's purpose is related to monsters.

As the five major powers that can attack each other, the threat and importance of the monsters and monsters to the ninja world are beyond words. Even after sealing the monsters, the five major powers reached a consensus, agreeing that once the monsters break through the seal and threaten the safety of the ninja world again, the five major powers must form an alliance to attack them together.

Even if it is just a suspected situation now, it is included in the rank of S-level tasks at the root.

When the Xia Shu came to the Kingdom of Ghosts, it seemed that a festival celebration was held here. The streets were crowded with people, and the parades pushed the uniquely shaped dolls towards the center of the city, full of joy.

After watching the unique scenery here for a while, Xiashu left the congested streets, walked around the alleys, and sneaked to the parade.

In the hall where the witch lived, behind the thin gauze curtain, the witch Maitreya, the original generation of the Ghost Kingdom, was stroking her flat abdomen, with a look of sorrow on her face.

"Fate, it's such a cruel existence." Maitreya wore a golden crown on his head, his long silver hair was neatly tied behind him, his purple pupils were filled with confusion, and he sighed softly: "Sorry, I'll bear such a sad fate as you have come to this world in the future. As a mother, who am I?!"

Maitreya suddenly noticed a strange breath. While speaking the words of reprimand, complex and gorgeous patterns appeared in her pupils, and the prophecy was once again revealed before her.

"Did you 'see' me?" A curious voice came, "How did I die?"
