Tatsuna nodded and led Kakashi back towards his home.

Inside the dark room

"The provocation plan seems to have failed. The people from the Kingdom of Oni did not engage in fighting with the Thunderbolt Group. Konoha did not move at all, but became wary of us."

The person speaking was a woman. Judging from her young voice, she was not very old, probably in her twenties.

"There is no way. The strength of these three forces, even the weakest Thunder Group, cannot be underestimated. Once they exchange fire, it will not be a simple fight. So it is difficult for them to directly conflict until the end."

"Acting under the name of the Purple Moon Clan has also been questioned. The Thunder Light Group is very tight-lipped about this. If this continues, I'm afraid the people from the Thunder Light Group will find out before the final plan is made."

The other people also started to communicate, and they all felt that this matter was difficult.

"We hope that the Thunderbolt Group and Konoha will draw firepower for us. This plan can be scrapped in advance. If we can't move our position now, we will use my power to attack in the end."

A woman's voice sounded.

The others were about to speak when suddenly the door of the room was kicked open.

"who!?"

The expressions of everyone in the dark room changed drastically.

Turning around to look at the door.

"Who are you……"

Seeing the face of the person who came, he was one of their companions who went out to collect intelligence.

But the other person looked very strange at the moment, his eyes were empty and his face was expressionless.

There were many scars on his body that were deliberately cut with a knife.

The moment he kicked open the door, shaking his body, he immediately ran towards them.

Sensing the abnormality of this companion, as if he was under the illusion of an enemy, his eyes were empty and his face was devoid of emotion. Everyone couldn't help but change their expressions and temporarily retreated towards the corner of the room.

Unexpectedly, the wounds on this companion's body that were deliberately scratched by the blade suddenly started to burst with strange blood bubbles.

Not only that, his body began to twist irregularly, as if there was some creature constantly swimming around in his body.

Everyone looked at the abnormal state of their companions with bewilderment on their faces, not knowing how to stop it.

At this moment, the leading woman realized something, her eyes widened, full of disbelief and shock.

"This is...blood dragon eye!?"

Without thinking too much, he shouted directly to the others:

"Back away! Don't get close to him!"

But it's too late.

The companion's body located in the center of the room suddenly inflated like a balloon, and the skin and clothes all over his body began to burst rapidly because they could not withstand the pressure caused by the expansion.

There was a loud bang.

Not only the house, but also the land outside the house was flattened by the explosion, completely destroyed, revealing a shocking pothole.

The woman and others stood awkwardly on the edge of the pothole, coughing violently and looking straight ahead.

A large amount of blood seeped out from the ground, turning the earth red.

The heat and the smell of blood that hit my face were very pungent, making it difficult to breathe.

The petite girl walked on the bloody ground, but surprisingly there was no trace of blood on the soles of her shoes.

In this bloody land, there is a very terrifying chakra.

Then, the girl stopped moving forward and looked at the ninjas in front of them who were wearing masks to hide their true appearance. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile that seemed very cold to the woman and others.

The blood emerging from the ground began to boil violently like boiling water. A ferocious and huge red dragon rose up from behind the girl. Its boundless murderous intent was like a piercing blade, pointing at the woman and others.

"Finally found you, little mice in the dark!"

"I see, with this height and appearance, you must be the leader of the Thunder Light Group. But I didn't expect that you would be a member of the Blood Pond clan. I thought that after being expelled from the Kingdom of Thunder, people from your clan would

They have already been exterminated."

The woman wearing the mask smiled coldly.

Qianno didn't respond, and the blood dragon behind him roared towards the woman.

The two words "height" mentioned by the other party made the murderous intention in her heart rise sharply, completely irritating her.

The woman's eyes under the mask looked indifferently at the huge blood dragon charging towards her.

The blood dragon created by Blood Succession is much more powerful than the water dragon bullet technique.

Facing this kind of power, ordinary ninjas would only be brutally devoured by the blood dragon, but she was not one of them.

She rushed towards the blood dragon, and her fist directly collided with the blood dragon's head.

Unparalleled powerful chakra burst out from her body, competing with the blood dragon in the air.

The collision of two powerful chakras made the fragile earth unable to bear it, and villages began to shatter.

The surrounding trees were cleared away, revealing a huge vacuum zone.

Qianno narrowed his eyes, and his petite body rushed towards the woman quickly. His red blood pupils looked into the woman's eyes, exuding a coquettish and strange color.

The woman's body trembled, and after a moment's delay, she immediately gave Qianno a hard look.

A huge black shadow suddenly extended from behind her and fell from the sky.

Qianno's facial expression was stunned.

Boom!

The whole person was knocked to the ground by the black shadow, and a large amount of blood emerged from the ground, dragging her body and canceling out the impact on her body.

When Qianano stood up from the bloody water, the figure of the woman and others disappeared in front of him. The blood dragon also suffered severe injuries and fell to the ground dying.

"Chino!"

Not far away, several figures flew over and stood beside Qianno.

The leader is Qianno's deputy, Feng Xin, who is also the deputy leader of the Lightning Regiment.

He saw a mess on the field, and it was obvious that Qianno had just experienced a brief but fierce battle with someone.

Because the terrifying chakra aura still lingers in the air and has not completely dissipated.

"Are you OK?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's just a minor injury."

Qianno waved his hand, looked in the direction where the woman and others left, and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. These people are not ordinary ninjas. I also have a guess about their identities. I will tell you when I get back."

Feng Xin nodded, quickly thought of something and said:

"By the way, starting from tomorrow, we will take turns guarding the bridge with the ninjas of Konoha, so that we can free up some more manpower."

"Are they here?"

Qian Nai was surprised.

"Yes, we just arrived. The leader is Hatake Kakashi."

Feng Xin looked serious.

Qianano glanced at Feng Xin, shook his head and said, "The higher ups told us not to worry about him and just do our own thing."

Although I don’t know why, this is indeed a command sent from above.

Since what was said above, she didn't want to have a conflict with such a troublesome ninja. It would be best for both parties to be in peace by then.

After the three of them took a general look at the scenery of the foreign town in the afternoon, they followed the location given by Dazuna at the beginning and arrived at Dazuna's house to meet Kakashi.

Here, they were warmly entertained by Tazuna's daughter, Tsunami. They enjoyed a big meal in the evening and rested contentedly at Tazuna's house for a night.

Ever since they were attacked by wandering samurai on the way here, the road has been calm, and it was the same when they arrived in the Country of Waves. So on the first night in the Country of Waves, Naruto and the three of them slept very peacefully and sweetly.

However, this kind of comfortable time is always short-lived. In the early morning of the next day, Kakashi woke him up early to start a morning run, and then had breakfast at Dazuna's house.

After taking care of everything, under the leadership of Dazuna, Team 7 began to rush towards the bridge construction site along the coast of the Country of Waves.

Like the bridge construction sites along the coast of the Country of Fire, the bridge construction sites in the Country of Waves are also very large.

Because to build an unprecedented cross-sea bridge, both the number of workers and the building materials used to build the bridge are very large.

"This is Miss Chino from the Thunderbolt Corps."

"This is Mr. Kakashi from Konoha."

Arriving at the construction site on the bridge, Tatsuna introduced each other to Kakashi, the captain of Team 7, and Chino, the leader of the Lightning Team.
