Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 358 Mountain and Soil Techniques
Kill Singapore and Malaysia?
Seeing Sakumo's surprise, Parker continued:

"The fox is so direct. The fox said that Xinma is Danzo's man and must be killed!"

Otherwise, you will die!

Sakumo Hatake was filled with doubt.

Xinming and Xinma, these two brothers have been with him for a long time. They are his confidants and his friends.

With Shinmei sacrificing himself early on, Shinma's strength improved rapidly, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would grow into a decent Jonin.

The fox suddenly said that Shinma was Danzo's man, which was hard for Sakumo Hatake to accept.

Sakumo Hatake said, "Shinma is Danzo's man. I will carefully verify this. It would be too rash to go back and kill Shinma now."

Parker nodded. Xinma had been with them for a long time, and they couldn't kill him just because of someone else's words.

After the white smoke dissipated, Parker disappeared, and Sakumo Hatake turned and walked towards Yamashiroji and the others.

He didn't look at Singapore and Malaysia, but said to Yamashiroji, "I've received intelligence that this mission will be very difficult, and we need to be even more careful."

Fortunately, there is no fixed target for protection this time, which allows for more flexibility.

Even if the Five-Tails destroys some pastures, there's nothing that can be done.

Tailed beasts are a catastrophe of natural disaster level, comparable to a major earthquake.

What we need to do is prevent the Five-Tails from getting close to the large tribes of the Land of Grass.

"Temple, let's study the map and see where the large tribes around the border are, and whether we can avoid them."

Yamashiroji took out a map and said, "With the Five-Tails rampaging, Iwagakure must be even more anxious than we are."

Our goal is to drive out the Five-Tails; we can utilize the Iwa ninja.

"That's a good idea."

Shinma watched anxiously as Sakumo Hatake and Yamashiroji studied the map and drew several circles.

Why is Sakumo Hatake suddenly so conservative?
Previously, Sakumo Hatake was willing to risk everything for the village and couldn't wait to deal with the Five-Tails.

With Sakumo Hatake being so cautious, how could his mission possibly fail?

The group arrived at the border of the Grass Kingdom and soon found huge hoof prints.

The Five-Tails, freed from its Jinchuriki, ran wildly across the grasslands.

The hoofprint was five meters long and one meter deep.

Looking at the hoof prints, Yamashiroji said, "During the Warring States period, the Five-Tailed Beast was a calamity-causing beast that lived in the Land of Grass."

The First Hokage believed that the Tailed Beasts were dangerous, so he captured the Five-Tails and then gifted it to Iwagakure.

The Five-Tails has been imprisoned for so many years, and this is one of its few opportunities to return to the Land of Grass. The Five-Tails will not easily return to Iwagakure in the Land of Earth, nor will it be easily sealed away.

"Recapture the Five-Tails is going to be extremely difficult."

Upon hearing Yamashiroji's assessment, Shinma's expression relaxed somewhat.

Difficulties are good; difficulties are where opportunities arise.

Sakumo Hatake glanced at Shinma's eyes.

Unlike the anxious looks in the eyes of others, the eyes of the Singaporeans were slightly different.

Sakumo Hatake somewhat believed the fox.

He summoned the Eight Ninja Dogs, allowing Pakkun to track the Five-Tails by scent to ensure absolute safety.

The group followed the enormous footprints of the five tailed beasts deep into the Land of Grass.

Yamashiroji opened the map, looked at it, and said, "There is a tribal camp 20 kilometers ahead."

We need to speed things up; we can't let the Five-Tails destroy that tribe.

The group quickened their pace.

After chasing for more than ten kilometers, they spotted the raging beast in the distance.

Five white tails danced in the air, four hooves thrashed about, and the five tails ran wildly across the grassland.

The earth trembled, and each tremor reflected the joy of the five tailed beasts.

Yamashiroji put down his binoculars and said, "Sakumo, there are more than 20 Iwa ninja following behind the Five-Tails."

The Iwa ninja were following the Five-Tails, but they were powerless to stop it.

Sakumo Hatake said, "For the sake of the mission, we must change the direction of the Five-Tails as much as possible."

With its head held high, the five tails ran happily across the boundless grassland.

This is the place he loves, this is the hometown where he has lived for thousands of years.

Occasionally, when the Jinchūriki of Iwagakure go berserk, all they see is the terrible yellow earth of the Land of Earth.

The air on the grassland is so fresh, and the ground is so flat.

Some ants from Iwagakure Village were following him from a distance.

Without the suppression of powerful ninjas, their sealing team is laughable.

The Iwa ninja behind them suddenly noticed that the Five-Tails had slowed down. The Iwa ninja captain saw the Five-Tails turn its head and look to the side.

He followed the gaze of the five-tailed fox and spotted a group of people walking side by side on the grassland.

The leader had white hair in a ponytail and carried a signature short sword on his back!

Konoha White Fang!

Someone like Konoha's White Fang actually appeared in a place like this!
White Fang drew ever closer, until a dazzling blade of light slashed towards the Five-Tails' right foreleg.

The blade was too fast, and it struck the Five-Tails' leg hard.

A horse's legs are both its strongest and most vulnerable part.

When a warhorse breaks its leg, there is no other way but to euthanize it.

The five-tailed beast cried out in pain.

The beast's screams were as loud as a raging storm and as deafening as thunder.

The white blade's aura sliced ​​through the flesh of the five-tailed beast and penetrated its bones.

Although they failed to cut off the horse's leg, Gomoku used its hind legs to push off and reared up.

The giant beast, which was originally over fifty meters tall, became over a hundred meters tall when it stood upright, which was terrifying.

As the Five-Tails landed again, it lowered its head and licked its forelegs. A large amount of tailed beast chakra appeared, repairing its injuries.

The attack was effective, and Hatake Sakumo immediately retreated.

He turned his head and saw Shinma rushing towards them almost side by side with Yamashiroji.

Singapore and Malaysia...you're getting a little impatient...
Logically speaking, it was reasonable for Yamashiroji to rush over, as he was an experienced Jonin.

Both Shirakumo Hayato and Shinma, the two special Jonin, should have been waiting in the rear to provide support, instead of being the first to intervene in the battle between Hatake Sakumo and the Five-Tails.

Sakumo Hatake said, "No rush! Our goal is to change the direction of the Five-Tails and prevent it from rushing into the village. There's no need to fight the Five-Tails head-on."

When the Five-Tails was inside Han's body, he had heard of White Fang's name.

His eyes were filled with apprehension; the blade of Baiya was too sharp.

The bodies of tailed beasts are the materialization of chakra, making them extremely tough. Ordinary methods such as explosive tags are completely ineffective against tailed beasts.

If White Fang slashes three times in a row at a certain spot, he can even cut his horse's leg.

Seeing White Fang approaching again from the right, Gotae instinctively dodged to the left.

After being pulled several times, the five tails shifted their original direction, and the distant tribe was safe.

The deeper they ventured into the Land of Grass, the more tribes they encountered, and they had no idea when it would end.

Yamashiroji kept looking at the map, using the sun to determine the direction, correcting their position, and planning the route for the five tails.

This continued for the entire morning, with the Five-Tails still running wildly, showing no signs of fatigue.

Until four battalions of Iwa ninja appeared on the horizon.

Sakumo Hatake waved his hand, signaling them to step back.

They wanted to retreat, but the Iwa ninja wouldn't allow it.

A rock ninja instantly appeared in front of Sakumo Hatake.

"I am Huang Tu, a Jonin from Iwagakure," Huang Tu said.

"White Fang, we need to seal the Five-Tails. Your Konoha must keep your distance."

The loess soil is extremely solemn.

The Five-Tails' rampage was the highest-level unexpected event in Iwagakure. He was the son of the Third Tsuchikage and personally led the team to deal with the Five-Tails.

Sakumo Hatake said, "The Land of Grass is protected by Konoha Village."

We must monitor the Five-Tails; we will not allow you to destroy any of the tribes in the Land of Grass.

Seeing the tension between the two sides, Yamashiro-ji intervened to mediate:
"Yellow Earth Ninja, please understand our position."

We understand your anxiety; the Five-Tails is getting further and further away from the Land of Earth.

Although we are from opposing villages, we share the same goal for now in sealing the Five-Tails.

"Yellow Earth Jonin, as long as you don't allow the Five-Tails to destroy the Land of Grass, we won't interfere with you."

Huang Tu nodded upon hearing this and vanished in an instant.

Four Iwa ninja battalions, two of which were led by sealing ninjas, surrounded the Five-Tails.

"Earth Release·Shantu Technique!"

Sakumo Hatake's eyes lit up. Huang Tu's Earth Release technique was truly powerful.

Huang Tu used Earth Release on the Five-Tails. Two Earth Release hemispheres, each over a hundred meters tall, instantly closed together, squeezing the Five-Tails inside.

As the son of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, Huang Tu's Earth Release ninjutsu has reached the pinnacle of the ninja world.

The five tails became even angrier when they saw the yellow earth.

His previous outbursts were caused by the loess soil suppressing him!
"Yellow earth! I've reached the grasslands! Won't you leave me alone?!"

Huang Tu slapped his hands on the ground, continuously channeling chakra into the earth, and said:

"You've been away from the grasslands for decades, and you're no longer welcome here."

Besides, you left the grasslands because you were captured by Hashirama Senju, what does that have to do with us?

The Five-Tails' body was clamped, and it opened its mouth, where a Tailed Beast Ball condensed.

The Tailed Beast Ball, with a diameter of over ten meters, distorted space and light.

A Jonin from Iwa landed in front of Huang Tu and commanded, "Everyone! Prepare the Thousand-Mile Earth Flow Wall!"

More than two hundred Iwa ninja simultaneously used Earth Release: Earth Wall.

Each person created at least three earthen walls, totaling nearly a thousand, blocking the exit of the mountain earth technique.

The Tailed Beast Ball charged in, crushing the earthen walls, but was also slowly redirected by the earthen walls.

The earthwork wall, originally aimed at the loess, ultimately grazed the loess and flew backwards, exploding in the distance of the grassland.

After the terrifying mushroom cloud, the earth trembled and the roar of an explosion followed.

The two sealing teams jumped onto the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic) hemisphere created by the Mountain Earth Technique.

The scroll, covered in sealing runes, unfurled and wrapped around the Five-Tailed Beast.

The five-tailed beast looked at the sealing scrolls with disgust and suddenly retracted all its tails.

After concentrating all its power, the Five-Tails suddenly erupted, using the sharp horn on its head to push open the left hemisphere of Earth Release and using its five tails to pull open the right hemisphere of Earth Release.

A clod of earth, as large as a small hill, flew backwards.

Huang Tu shouted, "Don't rush! It's impossible to succeed on the first try! Just like before, the Five-Tails gets tired too!"

The five-tailed beast, having broken through the mountain's earth barrier, quickly ran away into the distance.

Huang Tu led the Iwa ninja in pursuit.

The Five-Tails charged toward the direction of the Konoha ninja, thinking that Iwagakure and Konoha were mortal enemies, and that the Iwagakure ninja and Konoha ninja might be the first to fight.

As the Five-Tails charged, Yamashiroji quickly shouted, "Get out of the way! Let the Iwa ninja handle this!"

Shinma took a smoke bomb out of his ninja tool bag and slammed it into the ground in front of him.

Through the smoke, Xinma's eyes gleamed.

This is a smoke bomb that Shimura Kogo put on himself. The smoke contains hallucinogenic drugs, which are said to be very effective when facing tailed beasts.

Even the Eight-Tails couldn't withstand this hallucinogenic drug!
