In Naruto, the more harems you have, the stronger you are.

At this time, the Konoha troops in the Land of Water were being chased all the way.

Even with Tsunade's efforts to gather the remnants, they were forced to flee in panic, causing the greatest losses.

Konoha troops from the Land of Earth.

Although Minato Namikaze temporarily cut off the pursuit and blocked the pursuers for a while, he bought more time to escape.

The situation is slightly better than Orochimaru's, but not much better.

They were forced to retreat again and again by the Rock Ninjas, and were finally forced to retreat back to the border of their ally, the Grass Country.

The leader of the Kusagakure Village, Uzumaki Hona, was angry at Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato and others for retreating to their own country without permission.

But we have to accept their behavior.

When it comes to critical moments, small countries have no human rights, even their allies.

At the border of the Kingdom of Wind.

"I'm so pissed off, I wonder how long you can hide!"

The grumpy male voice echoed across the desolate land.

Ai, who was only in his twenties and full of youthful vigor, looked at the scene of the camp being deserted again and roared again in anger and unwillingness.

Kirabi, wearing sunglasses, covered his ears and turned his head slightly.

This is different from the rumor outside that the Cloud Village defeated the Sand Village.

He and his companions had indeed penetrated a thousand miles deep, and it was as if they were in an uninhabited area the entire time.

However, there were no more than a hundred Sand Ninjas who were killed, and they were all the kind of ninjas who voluntarily stayed behind to cover the retreat.

Rather than saying that they launched a fierce attack, it would be more appropriate to say that the Sand Ninjas voluntarily gave up defense and retreated.

After venting his inner emotions, Ai raised his head and looked coldly at the desert in the distance.

"Keep going deeper. I don't believe they will dare to retreat even if we attack their village."

Kirabi was silent for a while, and finally said carefully:

"Brother, we are not very familiar with the desert, be careful of traps."

"Why don't we stay here and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, then report the situation to Lord Raikage and ask him to make the decision?"

Although ninjas march quickly, it is not realistic for a Chunin or a Genin to travel a thousand miles a day.

Therefore, the only ones who could catch up were Ai, Kirabi and a few elite ones.

The main force was still struggling to advance behind.

Ai frowned suddenly, but finally nodded and said:

"Okay, then we'll set up camp here for the night!"

Although he was young and energetic, Ai knew that the Sand Ninja's abnormal behavior was very strange.

Just in case, let's wait for the main force to arrive.

And after his father knows the situation, it would be better to let him make his own decision.

The Cloud Ninjas set up camp a few dozen miles away.

A dozen Sand Ninjas were using various props and ninjutsu to observe their behavior from a distance.

After confirming that they were really preparing to set up camp, a dozen Sand Ninjas separated into a team and quickly ran back.

In a forest somewhere in the Land of Earth.

The originally peaceful forest was now in ruins.

A large number of towering ancient trees were burned by the flames, and finally fell to the ground powerlessly, making a loud noise.

There are countless pits on the ground that are dozens of meters deep. Each pit is filled with deep red magma that is constantly rolling and emitting hot white mist.

All the flowers, plants and trees around the pit withered due to the extreme high temperature.

You can also see various defenses built with ninjutsu such as earth and water ninjutsu.

However, these ninjutsu defense buildings have long been destroyed.

Occasionally, you can see one or two dead ninjas lying in the ruined buildings constructed by ninjutsu.

The gray-faced Uchiha Shuang wiped the sweat from his face with the back of his hand and looked vigilantly at the monster that was more than 20 meters tall in the distance.

Around Uchiha Frost.

One could vaguely see a few ninjas lying on the ground, their chests rising and falling slightly, and they were breathing out more than they were breathing in.

Further away, there were more lifeless ninjas lying on the ground in various postures.

Some were so miserable that their upper body and bones were burned by the boiling liquid, leaving only the lower body.

As soon as I saw the monster's posture change.

Uchiha Shuang immediately threw the branch in his hand far away vigilantly to make a sound to attract him.

At the same time, quickly retreat.

Uchiha Shuang's feet in high heels moved slightly.

Like a beautiful and nimble butterfly, it retreated to the relatively intact forest.

Less than a breath before Uchiha Shuang retreated.

The place where she was originally standing and the branch she threw out were suddenly irrigated by the hot magma!

Seeing this, Uchiha Shuang, who was retreating at a very fast speed, showed no joy or sadness on her beautiful face.

A few minutes ago, they were facing the Five-Tails Jinchuriki and a dozen Root ninjas who were lurking in the dark, watching them covetously.

Uchiha Shuang decided to divert the trouble away.

First, fight the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and while fighting, retreat towards the Root Ninja.

Although the process was very bad and a big mistake was made.

His intentions were discovered by the Five-Tails Jinchuriki and the Root Ninja.

But fortunately, the final result was not bad after a thrilling battle of wits and courage.

Some of the Root Ninjas were killed by themselves, and most of them were killed by the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

Of course, as a price.

The young man who looked cold and icy was completely enraged and turned into a semi-complete Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

Fortunately, this Jinchūriki had always remembered the ending of his predecessor Han and was very wary of his own Mangekyō.

From beginning to end, I didn't dare to open my eyes, for fear that I would be controlled by my own illusion, and could only rely on hearing to distinguish.

Uchiha Shuang, whose chakra and physical strength are less than half of their prime, has been able to hold on until now by relying on his agile body movements and vigilance.

But even so, after all the Rock Ninjas who had heard the noise arrived.

What awaits me is probably only death.

Uchiha Shuang also thought about running away, but the noise he made would be too obvious.

I have tried to escape several times, but failed every time.

Uchiha Shuang now has no choice but to stalemate with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

But perhaps the only benefit is that my state of mind has been greatly tempered.

Even in the face of life-and-death crisis, he was able to face it calmly.

The white monster, which was more than 20 meters tall, suddenly raised its head high, and the deep red chakra kept rotating in its big mouth, eventually forming a tailed beast ball the size of a fist.

When Uchiha Shuang saw the ball in the monster's mouth, the corners of her mouth twitched.

It seems that the Five-Tails Jinchuriki has lost his patience with himself and finally chooses to use the Tailed Beast Ball to blast away everything around him.

Uchiha Shuang bit his lower lip, pressed his long legs slightly downward, and prepared to fight to the death.

Although Uchiha Shuang had never seen the Tailed Beast Ball with his own eyes.

But he also knew the power of the Tailed Beast Ball from the older generation and the related books left by the clan.

If I really run away, I won't be able to get far. In that case, I might as well give it a try.

“Swoosh! Puff!”

Suddenly, Uchiha Shuang heard the sound of rapid breaking wind.

When she blinked again.

But they found that the white monster, which was more than 20 meters tall, was pierced through the chest by a huge sword!

The giant sword was yellowish in color. Uchiha Shuang looked carefully and found that the giant sword was actually made up entirely of grains of yellow sand.

The chest was suddenly hit hard, and the Tailed Beast Ball that was slowly taking shape in the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's mouth suddenly dissipated.

Without waiting for the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's body to react.

The giant sword immediately dispersed again and turned into balls of yellow sand, all of which penetrated into the Jinchūriki's chest, which had a big hole in it.

"Roar!"

The Five-tailed Jinchuriki, who had already transformed into a half-tailed beast, collapsed in agony on the woods with its huge body, roaring like a wild beast.

In just a few breaths, he was out of danger.

Even though Uchiha Shuang's state of mind has greatly improved, she can't help but have a bright and moving smile on her mature and beautiful face.

Uchiha Shuang turned her head and looked around, but didn't see the person she wanted to see, so she smiled softly:

"Son-in-law, why don't you come out?"

In today's ninja world, who else can easily and freely control sand, except for his son-in-law?

Although I don’t know why Li Fan could get here so quickly, and even come to the Kingdom of Earth.

Logically speaking, he should go to the Land of Lightning to support the fleeing Sand Ninjas.

But now that we are rescued, it is not too late to ask these questions once we find a safe place.

Following Uchiha Shuang’s soft shout.

A young man wearing standard Fengying uniform, carrying a large gourd on his back, appeared on a broken boulder not far away.

The man put on a gentle smile and chuckled:

"After what happened in the kitchen a few days ago, I thought my mother-in-law would never call me son-in-law again."

Faced with his son-in-law's teasing, Uchiha Shuang's dusty face suddenly blushed.

She took a deep breath, and reluctantly put on the airs of an elder, and said with a stern face:

"Good son-in-law, stop joking with your mother-in-law."

"The surrounding rock ninjas must have arrived. We should not stay here for long."

Li Fan looked at his mother-in-law, who had a stern face but the blush on her face had not faded.

His mind moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at the Five-Tails Jinchuriki who was still writhing in pain.

Li Fan snapped his fingers.

All the yellow sand in the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's body instantly broke out of his body and flew into the big gourd on his back.

Yellow sand broke out of every part of his body, and under this heavy blow, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki fainted instantly.

The huge body, which was over twenty meters tall, gradually shrank, the hair disappeared, and finally transformed back into the appearance of a young man in his twenties.

Looking at the Five-Tails Jinchuriki who exhales more than inhales.

Li Fan laughed secretly in his heart.

It's only been a dozen days, and it looks like the Iwagakure will have to look for a suitable ninja to become the jinchūriki again.

Li Fan quickly ran to his mother-in-law, hugged her slender waist, and said with a smile:

"Let's go."

Uchiha Shuang's slender waist, which had never been touched by a man, was suddenly hugged by Li Fan.

Her face, which had been trying to be stern, became less stern because of this and was flushed.
