I work as an editor at Marvel.

Valera: "It's a personal matter of mine. I have a task, and the details have been sent to your personal terminal. You can take a look. If you don't think it's suitable, don't force yourself. Be serious."

“Okay, I understand.” Natasha replied with a smile. Even after being a new assassin for so long, Valera still cared about her and took good care of her in many ways.

The Clock Tower, the Brez Mage Tower, Fina sat in the library, swinging her legs, reading a book, looking very content.

Since her teacher advanced to the legendary level, Fina's treatment has skyrocketed. She has more resources than she can use, since Blaze only has her as his apprentice and their teacher-student relationship is so good.

After all this time, Fina still hasn't broken through to the intermediate professional level. Of course, this isn't because Fina isn't working hard enough or lacks talent, but because Blaze plans to train Fina to become an academic mage, as the danger level of a battle mage is too high.

While academic mages may not be as powerful as other types in terms of combat strength, their breadth of knowledge and understanding of the core principles of various spells are beyond the reach of many combat mages.

After all, she had studied for so long and read so many books. It took Fina several years of dedicated tutoring to catch up with the progress of mages of the same level in the academy.

"Fina".

"Teacher, you've arrived." Fina slid off the chair and stood up.

"We'll go to the elemental pool to get some crystals, go to the archives to get some scrolls, and do some routine preparations before setting off on a mission," Blaze said.

“Okay, teacher.” Fina nodded, without asking any further questions.

Blaze reached out and took off the Morning Star Mage badge from his chest, placing it in Fina's hand. "This mission takes us to other worlds. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis... well, you decide for yourself. If you feel something is wrong, just force a teleport back. Don't worry about the consequences; protecting yourself is the priority."

Fina nodded. That's just how teachers are; they're always worried about her getting into danger. But she wouldn't let her teacher down.

"This time, there are other high-level professionals leading the team. Don't be reckless. Stay in the back and protect yourselves so you can play a bigger role," Blaze kept nagging. He didn't actually want Fina to go on the mission.

However, flowers protected in a greenhouse will never grow up. In fact, this opportunity is quite good. The people going are all promising and valued figures from various factions, and they will have plenty of life-saving items on them. Moreover, there are two high-level professionals leading the team.

There is also a legendary professional's clone in the place we went, so even if the number of enemies is large and we are outnumbered, there will be no problem in retreating.

A major showdown is foreseeable in the future, so it's good for Fina to get more practice.

Chapter 361 Human Union Express, Mission Accomplished

As the support troops prepared to assemble, in the Naruto world, Kennen was standing on the rooftop of a building, looking down at the street below.

It's a sunny day now, a time when villagers and ninjas should be busy, but the streets are less than half the usual number of people.

"Teacher! Why are there so few people today?" Xiao Li asked curiously as he ran.

Kai, who was upside down next to him, was panting heavily. Hearing his beloved student's question, he used his right hand to flip himself over. "I don't know. They all like to go out at night, especially Tian Tian. Recently, he hasn't even been sleeping for beauty sleep. Every night, he practices throwing in the training field by the light of the night."

Hearing this, Xiao Li was inexplicably inspired. "Teacher, Tian Tian must want to use her youth to light up the darkness. She is our role model!"

Kai's eyes lit up, as if he had suddenly realized something. "You're right! Xiao Li! Let's join her and let our youth shine throughout the night!"

"teacher!"

"Little Li!"

Kai and Xiao Li got closer and closer, and as usual, they were inexplicably excited, and their posture was also quite inexplicable.

Kennen sighed deeply. This amusing scene seemed strangely ironic to him. Only those with such unwavering willpower remained unaffected by the vampire virus. Many ordinary ninjas had begun to live a nocturnal lifestyle, but the two unaffected individuals seemed to be having some mental issues.

Furthermore, this change appears so normal and reasonable to others, which is the terrifying aspect of meme viruses—they subtly alter the subconscious of a large group without their knowledge.

"Master Kennen, the Five Shadows Conference is about to begin. Shouldn't we hurry over?" Akali grabbed the roof and flipped onto the rooftop, asking Kennen.

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer, for a delivery." Kennan looked up at the sky.

A minute later, two things suddenly appeared in the sky, spinning as they fell downwards.

With a whoosh, Kennen drew a bolt of lightning across the sky, the beam circling the two items that had been delivered, before carrying them back to the rooftop.

Kennan opened his hand, revealing a uniquely shaped pocket watch with intricate patterns and a small bottle in his palm.

After confirming that the outer packaging was undamaged, Kennen hopped on his toes, packed the items away, and said, "Akali, get ready."

Akali nodded, but before she could even lift her head, a gust of wind lashed her ears like fists, causing a sharp pain.

Kennen had already increased his speed, breaking the speed of sound in an instant. Akali curled up her body to reduce her contact area with the air, but even so, Akali still felt like she couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, a protective net quickly formed between the lightning and air barriers around Kennen, enveloping Akali inside, and the sound of the wind echoing in her ears gradually subsided.

Before long, the two successfully landed in the Land of Iron. As the only neutral country on the Ninja Continent, the Land of Iron was the perfect place to hold the Five Kage Summit.

There were many ninjas around the venue, and the ANBU from various ninja villages had already taken their positions. There had even been countless covert skirmishes. However, since the tone of the Five Kage Summit had already been set, there was naturally no large-scale conflict.

When Jiraiya saw that Kennen had arrived, he quickly ran over to greet him. A significant portion of the agenda for this meeting was related to Kennen, and if the main character didn't show up, Konoha, as the initiator, would probably be secretly looked down upon by many people.

"Master, you've arrived. The meeting inside has already begun," Jiraiya said to Kennen with a respectful tone.

"Lead the way," Kennan said, gesturing towards the conference room.

Akali straightened her clothes and then noticed something extra inside—a small bottle, one of the packages Kennen had just received.

"Akali, watch my signal and clear all the mist out of the bottle," Kennen's voice transmitted to Akali.

Akali looked up and saw that Kennen was holding a pocket watch behind his back, his thumb already pressing the button on the watch, but nothing seemed to happen.

The atmosphere inside the meeting room was a bit tense. Tsunade leaned back in her chair, observing the expressions of the other four Kage, lost in thought.

Behind Tsunade, Zed and Shin stood side by side, their eyes closed, adjusting the energy within their bodies.

"Tsunade! Where's the person you were talking about?!" A slammed his hand on the table, blue sparks flying from his palm. "What a show of arrogance, making us wait here?!"

"I'm here, I'm a little late, I'm very sorry."

Kennen stood in the very center of the table, facing Ai directly. The leaping sparks seemed to dim as if they had seen their father.

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with A's question, she didn't know how to best explain it.

Ai looked at Kennen, slowly clenched his fist, then slunk back into his chair. What? You mean Ai, with his fiery temper, shouldn't punch Kennen?

Ai was just hot-tempered, not stupid. He didn't even notice when Kennen arrived. Moreover, judging from where Kennen landed, if Kennen wanted to attack, he would probably already be lying on the ground. After all, Ai himself didn't believe that such a person could break through Ai's mere muscle strength.

“Master Kennen,” Gaara greeted him.

“Hmm.” Kennan nodded in response.

Ai glanced at the guards behind Gaara who hadn't moved an inch, and pondered that his choice seemed to be very correct. Kennen's attitude clearly placed him above Gaara. At a time like the Five Kage Summit, Gaara didn't lose his temper, which meant that this short old man definitely had some skills.

These days, short old men seem to be hard to deal with.

Ai turned her head and glanced at Onoki, who was sitting next to her watching the show.

With a whoosh, the door was pulled open, and Jiraiya walked in with Akali.

Akali's gaze was fixed on Kennen, and after she entered, Kennen tapped his hand twice with his fingers.

A barely perceptible "pop" sounded in Akali's arms. The mouth of the reagent bottle had been opened, and the mist-like reagent inside spread quickly and evenly in all directions with Akali's movements.

Shen and Zed opened their eyes and glanced at Akali. They were old acquaintances, so this action couldn't be hidden from them.

Kennan stood on the table with his hands behind his back for several minutes.

Ai's face started twitching. Even if he was not someone to be trifled with, this was still a bit too arrogant. What did he think this place was?

This is the Five Kage Summit, and you're here for a lunch break?!

Chapter 362 Howling Potion

Just as Ai was about to lose his temper, Kennen moved, and five almost identical Kennen phantoms appeared beside the five shadows.

In an instant, all the Kage's guards drew their weapons and prepared to fight, including Jiraiya.

He respected Kennen and roughly knew that Kennen and the three holy sites seemed to have reached some agreement and were planning something.

But if Kennen intends to attack Tsunade, well, he has to protect his wife himself. In this situation, he has to fight even if he can't win.

"Don't be nervous," Kennan said slowly.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow appeared on everyone present. Shen stood to one side, his hands crossed, and the power of the shadow binding affected everyone present.

"I just wanted to show you this."

The five phantom figures moved in perfect unison, lightning gathering in their hands. Then, as if squeezed out of space, folders jumped onto the table in front of the five figures.

The above records the tests that the People's Federation has conducted over the years, through Kennan's hands.

It must be said that the vampire virus is really good at adapting to local customs and conditions.

On Earth, the infected are the ordinary people most cared about by the Human Alliance; at Hogwarts, the infected are the cornerstone core wizards of the mystical side; and in Naruto, the infected are the most widespread and stable energy source in the world at present: chakra.

To be precise, it wasn't really an infection, but rather a fusion. At least Kennen didn't find any signs of resistance from the chakra, as if a supreme chakra was controlling and cooperating with the vampire virus.

"Nonsense!" Ai's lightning armor instantly materialized, breaking through Shen's Shadow Bind. He then stood up from his chair and, while reviewing the documents, deeply sensed his own body but found nothing.

Compared to the dubious file that Kennan casually pulled out, Ai trusted her own body and her own senses more.

Kennen gestured to Akali. He had already guessed that some people wouldn't believe it, which was normal. Putting himself in Akali's shoes, Kennen felt that he would also not believe it if he hadn't noticed anything.

Akali placed an empty bottle on the table; the contents of the bottle had almost completely dissipated.

"Howling Potion is a drug that can cause an abnormal reaction in the body by combining with the vampire virus. The simplest manifestation of the reaction is howling."

"The higher the degree of infection, the weaker the body's own immunity, the shorter the onset time, and the longer the duration."

"In short, this is a very good method for rapid detection."

Kennan was introducing the reagent bottle to everyone when a wolf howl came from underground.

Ai dodged to the ground and slammed his fist down, the relentless attacks turning him into a pile driver.

Soon, Ai returned to the conference room carrying a strange, white-based object that was constantly howling.

Ai threw the things on the table, about to make a sarcastic remark, "At least make your shills look decent."

"Ow~"

"Ow~"

Suddenly, howls came from all directions, as if a pack of wolves had appeared around them.

Ai opened the window and looked down. Among the ninjas who had come with him, several were howling at the sky, on all fours, like wild wolves.

Their companions tried to wake them up, but before they could do anything, they were infected and turned into the same strange state of howling wolves.

Similar situations could occur in any ninja unit, and the five Kage felt a chill run down their spines as they witnessed them.

However, there is a problem now: whether the Howling Potion is really effective against the vampire virus, as Kennen said, is unknown.

"Master Kennen!" Tsunade stood up, about to say something, when she heard Shizune raise her head and let out a howl behind her.
