Outside Konoha Village, in a dense jungle, the members of the Faran Undead Team were surrounding Naruko who fell to the ground and fell into a coma...

Looking at Naruko lying under the roots of the tree, seemingly asleep, one of the French knights scratched his head in confusion, turned to Hawkwood next to him and asked with some discomfort, "Is he...really

Will he trade Barry Allen for this girl? What if he doesn't come? Kill this girl?"

Hawkwood glanced at the knight beside him, shook his head slightly and said, "You didn't participate in the battle with Ashes, you don't understand... The strategy we formulated before is basically correct, try our best... don't anger him,

That guy has entered an unknown realm and is no longer the ashes he once was... He is almost the same as the Lord of Darkness!"

"Sigh... I didn't expect that it was just a simple chase, but there were so many problems, and I actually met that Ashes..."

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if I can't take revenge when I meet him, but he still wants to do such a thing. I really don't know what the Lord of Darkness thinks, why he insists on catching that person named Barry Allen..."

Looking at the knights singing along beside him, Hawkwood frowned slightly, took a deep breath and said, "What happened to the Dark Lord is not something we can speculate on. We are just a group of undead resurrected by him now.

Just do our own thing well.”

"That's right...then what should we do now? Just wait here?"

"In short... let's tie up this girl first, don't let her run away."

Just when the Flan Knights tied up Naruko, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the sight of the Flan Knights. Hawkwood frowned slightly, raised his head and looked at the vortex as he slowly walked out.

That person…

After pondering for a moment, Hawkwood took the lead and asked, "What else do you want? Our cooperation or transaction should be over by now!"

A Fei scratched his head gently and whispered helplessly, "That's true. We are also very grateful for your help, but... there is one more thing I want to ask you. Can you give us this girl?"

What? You know, this girl is also one of our targets."

Facing A Fei's request, Hawkwood shook his head without hesitation, "No way, she is equally important to us. We need her to threaten Ashes. We can't leave it to you. Maybe... after we finish the deal, you can

Go catch her yourself."

Hearing this, A Fei suddenly groaned, then shrugged and said, "This is a bit difficult... I thought our cooperative relationship would allow you to hand her over to me. In this case, there is no other way.

That's right...you guys, I don't want this either."

As soon as A Fei finished speaking, the surrounding ground squirmed, and countless Zetsu emerged from under the surrounding ground, tightly surrounding the Frank Undead Team and Naruko!

"Oh~ I'm going to grab it by force, right... I understand. If that's the case, then there's no need to talk nonsense! If you have the ability, just do it! If you are not afraid of death..."

Seeing the members of the Immortal Team pulling out their long swords behind them one by one and surrounding Naruko, A Fei slightly shrank his neck and pretended to say, "Oh~ It's so scary... Could it be that I'm really going to be killed by you guys?"

Killed?"

The battle was about to break out. Surrounded by Jue, the French knights showed no fear at all. The long swords in their hands pointed at Bai Jue, who was still pouring out from all directions...

A Fei, who was standing opposite Hawkwood, waved his hand gently, and these Bai Jue seemed to be crazy and quickly swarmed towards the members of the Frank Undead Team.

The huddled knights waved the long swords in their hands, like a meat grinder, chopping the incoming Bai Jue into several pieces!

No White Jue can be used as their offensive weapon. Each sword can kill one...or even several White Jue who rush over. The slaughter speed is very fast, but the number of White Jue cannot be underestimated!

Just as the knights were slaughtering White Zetsu, Hawkwood suddenly turned around and thrust his sword in the direction of Naruko!

Just when the long sword was about to hit Naruko, the French sword in Hawkwood's hand suddenly turned and hit the big tree that was helping Naruko!

The next second...a scream came from the tree trunks, the ground squirmed, and a pitcher plant-like guy appeared beside A Fei in a somewhat embarrassed manner...

And just on his pitcher plant, a gap suddenly appeared...

"It's really embarrassing. Jue... was actually stabbed?"

Different from the scream just now, a low and hoarse voice snorted and responded, "This guy is just like that bastard Ashes, just as hateful and difficult... What should I do now?"

"Well... there is really no way. Since you have failed, you can only retreat now~"

While saying this, A Fei waved his hand gently, and the attacking Bai Jue army suddenly stopped and stopped charging...

"What? Retreat now? Aren't you going to give it a try?"

"Forget it...it only took five of these guys to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki from the high-end combat power of Konoha Village. They are not opponents that can be faced head-on. In short...that's it for today."

After saying this, A Fei waved to the members of the Frank Immortal Team~

"Then~ everyone, I won't disturb you today. I hope you won't be killed by ashes~ Goodbye~"

After speaking, a whirlpool appeared, wrapping up A Fei and the Zetsu around him, and disappeared in front of the members of the Farlan Undead Team. The White Zetsu who surrounded the Undead Team also slowly escaped into the ground, only to

There were corpses left on the ground, as well as the members of the Frank Undead Team...

In the middle of the commotion, Naruko, who had been in a coma, slowly opened her eyes, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the long sword poking at the side of her head...

"Hey! This...this is..."

Looking at Naruko with a frightened look on her face, Hawkwood turned his head, with his backhand pulled out the French sword stuck beside Naruko's head, and put it back behind him.

"You...it's you! Why are you arresting me? You are not..."

Without answering, Hawkwood just shook his head gently. The surrounding French knights also put away their swords and found a place to rest on their own. No one paid any attention to the people who were tied to him.

Naruko on the tree…

"Hey! Hey!! Can't you hear me? You guys, what are you going to do to catch me! I remember you are not from the Akatsuki organization! What on earth are you going to do! Bastards!"

Hawkwood turned his head helplessly and looked at Naruko who was tied to the tree and kept shouting and trying to break away. He sighed softly and said, "If I were you, I would shut up now."

Come on, little girl, if you don’t want to die... you are our hostage now, just wait for Ashes to rescue you..."

"What! You...you want to use me to deal with Grandpa Ashes! Huh! You won't get what you want! Grandpa Ashes is very powerful! If you don't want to die, let me go quickly. Maybe Grandpa Ashes can spare your life.

Maybe!"

Hawkwood chuckled lightly, looked at Naruko who was whirring, shrugged lightly and said, "You don't need to worry about it. We know Ashes better than you do, but then again... you know Ashes better."

what?"

Hearing Hawkwood's words, Naruko snorted, turned her head and said coldly, "Don't try to get anything out of me! I won't tell you anything! Give up!"

"It seems like you don't know anything. You don't know what the name Ashes means, and you don't know Ashes' past... But if you think about it, after something like that happened, that guy must have kept it secret."

After saying this, Hawkwood turned his head and ignored Naruko who turned her head...

…

Looking at the sun that was about to set on the horizon, Hawkwood gritted his teeth gently. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly turned his head and whispered to his companions, "The sun is going down, and that guy from Ashes is very likely to go down."

I'll take advantage of the night to make a sneak attack and investigate the surrounding area..."

"Is it necessary? Although we don't understand this ashes, but..."

"That guy has always done whatever it takes to achieve his goals. You still can't afford to be cautious. You just need to keep a close eye on this girl..."

"Understood."

Nodding slightly, Hawkwood turned his head and took a deep look at Naruko, who was tied to a tree trunk, bored and already sleepy. Then he turned around and burrowed into the woods behind him.

Go in…

The sun set over the mountain, and the dim moonlight shone in the woods. Hawkwood's eyes were fixed on the front, and he kept running. It didn't look like he was conducting a so-called alert reconnaissance, but rather towards a certain target.

Location forward general…

Soon, Hawkwood came to a dense forest. After looking at the surrounding environment, Hawkwood whispered, "It's almost here...hasn't he arrived yet?"

"No...I'm already here, but you...you're late, I thought you were playing tricks on me~"

Before Hawkwood could turn to the direction of the sound, a cold light appeared in front of Hawkwood, coming from behind, a sharp long sword was already placed on his neck...

"Don't move, Hawkwood... you'd better not act rashly now, so... do you mind telling me? What's the purpose of pushing this thing to me and calling me here?"

Saying this, a piece of Wolf Blood Sword Grass was thrown into the ashes at Hawkwood's feet...

Looking at the Wolf Blood Sword Grass at his feet, Hawkwood chuckled, turned his head and smiled at Ashes and said, "As expected, you are the Ashes I know. That King of Darkness...is not Ashes at all."

Ashes, who was standing behind Hawkwood, narrowed his eyes, looked at the back of Hawkwood's head and asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

"Literally...Ashes, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I wonder...have you turned into a dragon?"
