In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Wait until I dig that guy out. Haha, even the Five Kage won't be able to defeat him."

Black Zetsu folded his hands and watched from the side, feeling very dissatisfied with Kabuto Yakushi. But even though he was dissatisfied, as Kabuto Yakushi said, if you can do it, go ahead, don't talk too much.

That shameless yellow-haired guy is still staying in Konoha, with no intention of leaving the village. One hundred thousand White Zetsu sounds like a lot, but in reality, Kabuto Yakushi can only control seventy thousand White Zetsu with puppets.

The Rinnegan was not attached to Kabuto Yakushi, but to a puppet. From the very beginning, Kabuto Yakushi did not show an attitude of trust in Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu, Kabuto Yakushi, and the Hawk Squad, each of them has their own thoughts, they just come together because of similar goals, they are not allies.

Kabuto Yakushi asked him to lead 20,000 White Zetsu to attack Konoha, but Black Zetsu would not be fooled. Winter had no effect on Konoha, but if the battle got intense, the Wind Country would send reinforcements.

The three countries that are truly blocked by the cold winter, namely the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Water, and the Kingdom of Earth, have a geographical climate that is not as hot as the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind.

The five great nations were no pushovers. Although White Zetsu launched a massive attack on them, he was unable to damage their fundamentals. Only Kumogakure was somewhat overwhelmed by the torture of the Hawk Squad, while the other four nations were not yet at the point of being suffocated.

Kabuto Yakushi's intentions were clear: to dig up corpses during the winter, so he could gather his Impure World Army and formally engage the Five Nations in the spring. This kind of lunatic enjoyed this, enjoying strategizing and defeating his opponents psychologically.

Damn pervert.

Black Zetsu's face was expressionless, and he cursed Kabuto in his heart. He felt that the human heart was ugly. The yellow-haired man was also ugly, with no bottom line.

Suddenly, Black Zetsu suddenly thought that, in this case, this snake-skinned monster and the yellow-haired man are a perfect match.

"I can't wait any longer. I'll take some people to collect a few tailed beasts first."

"Then you figure it out yourself, whatever you want." Pharmacist Kabuto showed a sinister smile on his face, which made people feel uncomfortable just by looking at him.

~~

Naruto pulled out all the White Zetsu hiding in Konoha Village, and found an excuse to beat up Konohamaru, who liked to join in the fun, thinking he was just a White Zetsu in disguise.

Konohamaru ran for his life crying loudly, shouting "Brother Naruto, it's me, I'm not White Zetsu, help me, someone is killing me" and so on, and ran around the village.

Mao Yue Xi Yan saw it, but didn't react much. She just put on the ANBU mask and disappeared from the roof. This person's actions were unreasonable, so there was no need to guess.

He really did not have a plan for what he did. For example, he had been running between Ino and Hinata for several days, doing basically nothing. But that night, he had already passed through the Yellow Springs Gate and arrived in the Land of Demons.

He was actually very reluctant to come here, and he hadn't encountered any missions related to the Land of Demons. He had thought that everything could be avoided, but he didn't expect that Naruto would end up delivering himself to the door.

"Just one believer missing." He muttered to himself and entered the territory of the Ghost Kingdom against the night wind.

The reason why he was so disgusted with the Kingdom of Ghosts was because he had traveled through time and space, and he was disgusted by things like prophecies. Moreover, he didn't want to cause trouble.

In fact, he had a better option. Back twenty years ago, he had brought Nohara Nao and Princess Sarah of Loulan out of the dragon vein. If he had just signed a contract with Sarah, she would surely not refuse.

But Naruto remembered that he had promised the queen to treat Sarah well. Although the queen had been dead for more than 20 years, he could not go back on his promise.

There was only one thing left. After much deliberation, Naruto decided to go to the Land of Demons to avoid any more trouble. So far, there had been no news from the Land of Demons, so the situation was probably still at a stalemate.

In fact, he doesn't care whether the Demon Kingdom is destroyed or the undead army. He just wants to sign an evil god contract with Shion, the priestess of the Demon Kingdom.

The situation in the Ghost Kingdom is not complicated. A man named Huang Quan once used the power of ghosts to create a ghost army. These monsters are invulnerable to weapons and fearless of death. The only ones who can destroy them are the witches of the Ghost Kingdom.

Huang Quan was very bold and invited the former Ghost Country shrine maiden to join his camp, hoping to use the ghost army to conquer the entire ninja world. Unfortunately, ideals are full of hope, and reality is very skinny.

The witch of the Land of Demons was very moved but refused, saying that she would never do such a shameless thing. Not only that, you are so ugly, die!

The witch used powerful witchcraft to defeat the army of undead, and sealed the soul of the monster in the ruins of the Ghost Kingdom, and sealed the body in the temple of the small country next door, the Swamp Kingdom.

To some extent, Wuliang is an undead spirit, and the undead army is just a puppet. Because of its inferior skills, it was separated by the miko and acted separately. It can be said to be the ninja version of Xingtian.

This subordinate relationship is somewhat similar to being an accomplice to a tiger. Wuliang is the tiger demon, and the Undead Legion is its accomplices. Huangquan is Wuliang's fanatical believer, obsessed with resurrecting Wuliang and dominating the ninja world.

According to common sense, Naruto should find Shion and protect her all the way to the temple in Swamp Country. During this period, he can use the pursuit to create a suspension bridge effect with the miko Shion.

Finally, facing a strong enemy, he was defeated and then seriously injured, and finally made a ball with Shion.

This routine is similar to the New Year's Eve skit about making dumplings. It starts with laughter, then tears, and ends up being thought-provoking. The loving father and filial son reunite to make dumplings. It's full of routines.

But Naruto had lost his patience long ago. He had seen too many women and too many powerful enemies. Now he had no thoughts at all. With a sword in his hand, who could restrain him?

If Huang Quan wants to revive Wuliang, then he should first find him and kill him. Then he should go back to find Ziyuan and tell her that Huang Quan is dead and she should sign the contract quickly.

Otherwise, don't blame yourself for being rude. You don't want to regret your mother's hard work... Anyway, this is simpler, more direct and more appropriate.

This is the way a hero behaves. Since he has come, he will not simply give Ziyuan a favor and leave. As the saying goes, since you are here, you can rest assured.

He not only wanted Shiyuan to sign the evil god contract, but also wanted to swallow up the Demon Kingdom. As for how to govern it afterwards, that was not something he had to consider now.

"The last one, just the last one left." Naruto repeated it again, looking up at the capital of the Demon Kingdom in front of him.

Ten miles away from the capital, there is a forest. Outside the forest stand several high mountains, and the ruins that seal the souls of monsters are also hidden in the mountains.

As he was climbing the mountain, he suddenly heard a deafening sound. Naruto couldn't help but stop and looked towards the north again. What a coincidence! Was Huang Quan making a move at this time?

He actually didn't know the location of Huang Quan, nor did he know whether Huang Quan had unlocked the seal on the ghost's soul. He just used the authority of the god of death to sense it slightly.

He noticed a strong soul fluctuation on the other side of the mountain, and guessed that the ghost had not yet resurrected. His idea was simple, if it was not a coincidence, Huang Quan did not come or for some other reason.

Then he would just throw the monster into the sealed space, which to some extent would solve the problem from the source.

Unfortunately, Huang Quan was unlucky and happened to run into him.

Chapter 522 Mission III Completed, Ninja World, First Glimpse of the Evil God's Authority

The location of the Demon Country ruins is halfway up the mountain, and climbing up is not difficult. Naruto did not use the Yellow Spring Gate, as the coordinates are too small to easily jump to the next mountain range.

Along the way, there were noises coming from the mountainside, but Naruto looked calm. He seemed to hear nothing and continued to climb up step by step.

He suddenly remembered that there was still a large amount of money in the sealed space. There was no need to throw the monster in and waste space. He could just seal it directly in the stomach of the god of death.

The ninja world is full of all sorts of monsters and demons, with all sorts of powers. Whether it's a miko or a ghost, everyone wants to destroy or save the world.

"I'll stop after I've done this. After I've dealt with the Otsutsuki, I'll hide away and enjoy myself. Anyone who cares about the mess in the ninja world is a grandson." He muttered and shook his head.

Uphill.

~~

Bang! A wooden house exploded, sending dozens of White Zetsu flying backwards, their bodies bent like roasted shrimp. With a resounding bang, a huge crater a hundred meters across was blasted across the street.

The heavy snow on the street was swept away in an instant, attracting passers-by to watch from afar.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure in a loose green robe slowly emerged, loosening their fists. Another woman in black, clutching a pig, her face pale, muttered something about having to pay compensation again.

"Jingyin, please stop saying such depressing things. It's really boring."

"Lady Tsunade, I'm not saying anything discouraging, but we're really running out of money." Shizune wanted to cry, but she pulled Tsunade's sleeve and begged, "We can't gamble anymore, Lady Tsunade!"

"Stop nagging. Why don't you just borrow some money from someone?" Tsunade curled her lips, mercilessly pushed Shizune away, and shouted, "I don't care. I want to gamble!"

"Tsunade-sama! Ugh!"

"Long-winded!"

This scene was truly hilarious, Shizune pleading in a mournful manner, while Tsunade was like a stubborn gambler. With a drunken flush on her face, she turned around and saw White Zetsu had actually gotten up.

"Ok?"

"Lady Tsunade, those...those monsters are not dead!"

"Don't make any noise, I have eyes."

“Those are…”

boom!

White Zetsu was blasted into slag by the immense force, and eventually dissipated in the land of the Land of Peace. Tsunade's expression was not very good, but she did not care too much.

"Shizune, is there any news from the village?" Tsunade stopped and looked at the falling snowflakes and suddenly asked.

"No, we walked too far." Shizune was a little flustered, "Tsunade-sama, you said you didn't want those people in the village to know about us, so you got rid of them three months ago."

"Well, let's try to make contact." Tsunade said slowly, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"Yes." Shizune agreed, but still couldn't help asking, "Tsunade-sama, are those monsters related to the village? I don't seem to have seen any along the way, and today is the first time..."

"Because we passed through small countries along the way, we deliberately bypassed the five major countries to avoid being harassed by those people." Tsunade analyzed.

"Then I'll go and find out."

Shizune left with Tuntun in her arms, and Tsunade was the only one left on the street as she walked towards the inn where she was staying. She frowned and had a bad feeling in her heart.

She had never liked staying in Konoha, but it was the village her grandfather had left behind and it was also her home. With the position of Hokage vacant and troubled both internally and externally, she had no choice but to return.

I hadn't thought too much about it at first, I just dumped my burden and left early. Anyway, Danzo and those two old guys were pulled down by him, and they abdicated with her.

Tsunade didn't care about power or whether the village was prosperous. She just wanted Konoha to last forever. At least she could see Konoha last forever, and she would no longer be in charge of it.

Even though her grandfather and others never explicitly asked Tsunade to protect the village, her loved ones continued to die and bleed for Konoha.

How could she ignore Konoha and let her loved ones' blood be shed in vain?

You have to control it, but you can't keep holding on to it. Konoha is too big. It's a country, the most powerful country in the ninja world. If you say that in the past, Kumogakure could only be regarded as a wild and desolate place.

Back at the inn, she skillfully sat astride the window, staring at the monotonous scenery outside in a trance.

"Dong, dong, dong!" A burst of hurried footsteps sounded outside the door. Tsunade turned her head and stared at the direction of the shoji door with a calm expression. She could already guess what Shizune was going to say.

She opened her mouth and lip-synced silently.

"Tsunade-sama, it's not good!"

Wow!

Shizune was breathing heavily, her shoulders shaking, and she was holding Tuntun with one hand. Her face changed drastically, like a frightened bird, and she looked at Tsunade and shouted.

"Lady Tsunade, something bad has happened! Something happened in the village!"

"Come and catch your breath first. You're already an adult, what's the point of yelling all day long?" Tsunade rolled her eyes and sat calmly aside.

"White Zetsu... We met a lot of White Zetsu on the road... Twenty thousand White Zetsu attacked the Fire Nation and have been fighting for a while." Shizune said exaggeratedly.

"Did you get in?"

"what?"

"Has the Fire Nation been destroyed?"

"That's not true."

"Then don't worry." Tsunade replied very straightforwardly, folding her hands and said, "Nothing serious will happen in Konoha, why are you so anxious?"

"But......"

"Do you think Kakashi is dead? Besides, isn't that bastard also in the village? Konoha won't suffer any serious loss."

"Naruto?" Shizune hesitated. "Does he really care about the village? No... I mean, Naruto doesn't seem to have a very good attitude towards the village."

"Of course he doesn't care about what happens to the village, but he won't watch Konoha fall." Tsunade said slowly, "I know that he has no sense of belonging to the village at all."

"It's no use treating him well. He resents the village deep down. There's no doubt about that."

"Then..." Shizue was stunned.

"But he hides it very well and never shows it. He always looks nonchalant." Tsunade said lazily, "Reassuring the Jinchuriki is one of Konoha's important strategies. When I took over, the senior leaders told me this directly."

"The Uzumaki clan will be left with no one, and they won't be able to contain the Nine-Tails. This is what every previous Hokage was worried about, until that kid pulled the Nine-Tails out."

"He's ruthless, cruel to himself and even crueler to his enemies. Trying to hold him back with small favors and friendships is probably impossible."

Hearing this, a look of worry appeared on Shizune's face.

"Then what to do."

"I can't help it." Tsunade glanced at Shizune, "The village insisted on doing this. When he was being bullied, we showed him some favors. He will figure it out when he grows up and has his own ideas."

"But those... those have nothing to do with Lady Tsunade. Besides, Naruto and Lady Tsunade have a good relationship, right? He..."

"So what? I don't want to do some small favors and seem stingy." Tsunade jumped down from the window, stretched, revealing her curves and her flesh pool.

Shizune was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something else. Suddenly, she thought of Ino and Hinata, and suddenly it clicked. Naruto's dislike for Konoha didn't seem to conflict with his desire to protect their home.

If someone uses friendship to force him to fight for Konoha, that would be a real conflict.

After a while of silence, Tsunade suddenly looked up and stared at Shizune for a while, which made Shizune a little nervous. She suddenly brought up a topic that was completely unrelated.

"Shizune, isn't it time for you to get married?"

"Get... married!!!" Shizune took a dozen steps back and looked at Tsunade in shock. "Tsunade-sama, why... why did you suddenly say that?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered it." Tsunade frowned and thought, then asked, "How is Kakashi? He seems to be planning not to get married either."

"Kakashi?" Shizune snorted and waved her hand, "Who would want to marry such a boring person? He's been like that since he was a child..."

In fact, there are many ninjas who don't get married. Not everyone is so lucky. They can keep their true heart and be full of hope for the future.
