Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

At the critical moment of protecting the four-sided sealing formation that sealed the Three-Tails, Kakashi and Naruto resolutely launched a thrilling life-and-death battle with Guren.

Just as the power of Honglian's Crystal Release was coming like a storm and Kakashi was almost unable to resist, Shino appeared in time like a savior and cleverly used the parasitic bug to destroy the attack of the Crystal Release, bringing a turning point to the battle.

However, in the dark, Kabuto planned to use the power of Youkimaru to cause a riot in the Three-Tails, thereby destroying Konoha's barrier.

Honglian, who knew the pain of Youkimaru, did not want to see him get hurt again, so he proposed a condition in exchange: if he could successfully control the Three-Tails and stop Konoha's sealing operation, Kabuto must promise not to attack Youkimaru again.

However, the angry Three-Tails rushed towards the unconscious Honglian, intending to give her a fatal blow. At this critical moment, Yukimaru showed unprecedented strength to save Honglian and successfully stopped the violent Three-Tails from attacking.

Seeing this, Liu Tianci quickly seized the opportunity, decisively threw out the Poké Ball, and successfully extracted some of the Three-Tails' chakra.

[Congratulations on successfully extracting the Three-Tails Chakra. The system is generating the corresponding Pokémon for you. I hope your new partner can exert great power in future adventures! ]

The system pushes a series of highly matching Pokémon options, including the unique Spiny Ammonite, the Needlefish covered with thousands of needles, the Ribturt covered with thick ribs, the Blastoise - the noble grandfather of Squirtle, and the mighty Scythehelm.

Faced with such a rich selection, Liu Tianci's "decision-making difficulty syndrome" struck again, and he fell into deep entanglement.

Finally, after careful consideration, he chose Scythe Helmet as his new partner.

Its handsome appearance is undoubtedly an important factor, but more importantly, Liu Tianci believes that it has some kind of inexplicable tacit understanding with him. After all, in the world of Pokémon, appearance is also part of strength, isn't it?

As Liu Tianci was fully focused on the task of capturing the Three-Tails, he failed to notice the tense situation here in time. In order to force the Three-Tails to lose control and attack the ninjas of Konoha, he forced Youguimaru to take a large number of pills, intending to stimulate his potential power.

As the out-of-control Three-Tails exerted increasing pressure on the barrier and the situation became critical, Lord Slug sent by Tsunade arrived in time and injected critical chakra into the sealing team, temporarily stabilizing the situation.

In order to further incite Yukimaru's emotions and thus trigger greater power, Kabuto actually revealed the secret of Honglian. The extremely angry Naruto immediately got into a fierce fight with Kabuto.

Meanwhile, Honglian attempts to take the weakened Youkimaru away from danger, but is blocked by Lin'er, who is controlled by Kabuto with the Soul Death Technique, thwarting her rescue plan.

Due to the disruption caused by Kabuto and Orochimaru's men, Konoha's mission to seal the Three-Tails was progressing slowly, and the battle had left everyone exhausted and wounded.

In order to restore strength and heal wounds, everyone found a safe place to rest temporarily and treated Youguimaru.

At this critical moment, Tsunade issued a new order, requiring everyone to return to the village first, and at the same time sent another team to take over the task of monitoring the Three-Tails to ensure the smooth progress of the mission.

The leader of Akatsuki urgently summoned every member of the organization and informed them of the shocking news - Orochimaru had passed away.

Sasuke, who defeated Orochimaru, is quickly recruiting new companions. His ambitious eyes have already set on the "Akatsuki" organization, seeing it as the next target of conquest.

At the same time, after receiving this information, Konoha Village also took action quietly and made full preparations for the coming storm.

The two major forces of Konoha and Akatsuki simultaneously sent out elite forces to closely track and search for Sasuke's newly formed "Snake" team.

At the same time, members of the "Snake" team were busy collecting intelligence about Itachi, intending to further understand the enemy's movements.

Amid the busy figures of these three parties, a tense atmosphere quietly spread, indicating that the coming storm will be even more violent.

Not long after, news that shocked the ninja world came like a torrential rain - Itachi, the former clan-slaughtering demon, was defeated by Sasuke in a fierce battle, and the light of life was dimly extinguished.

What is even more heartbreaking is that Jiraiya, the legendary figure in the ninja world, could not escape the shackles of fate and died tragically during his operation to penetrate the Rain Village.

The intersection of these two pieces of news undoubtedly made the already turbulent situation in the ninja world even more chaotic, as if a storm was about to sweep across the entire ninja world.

On the other side, Liu Tianci finally heard the mysterious news about Lao Zi after an in-depth investigation of the underground black market. This old man was originally a ninja from the Hidden Rock Village in the Land of Earth. Because his personality was contrary to that of the Tsuchikage, he chose to leave his hometown and embarked on the path of a wandering monk.

He was dressed in a striking purple suit with a solid breastplate, which showed his extraordinary bearing. And his hair, which was carefully tied into a small ponytail, fluttered in the wind, contrasting with his thickly bearded face.

What's even more amazing is that after years of hard training, Lao Zi has been able to control the power of the Four Tails with ease. This strength undoubtedly makes him unique in the world of wandering monks.

The following is an easter egg, you can skip it————————————————————

The Scythe Helmet has a unique appearance that attracts attention. Its shell is a deep brown, while its breastplate, claws, and the scythe held in its hand are as white as snow.

The head is triangular, with two sharp horns extending from the back, which adds a bit of majesty to it. What's more peculiar is that after evolution, the sickle helmet can walk upright like humans, showing its unique evolutionary ability.

In ancient times, the sickle-helmet was the overlord of the warm ocean. It was brutal and good at using its sharp sickle to catch prey.

In the water, the sickle-helmet cleverly folds its sickle, and with its slender body and rapidly shaking shell, it quickly shuttles through the water, chasing its prey at an astonishing speed of 29 knots.

Once it gets close to its target, it uses its sickle as a deadly weapon, tearing its prey apart in an instant and sucking its body fluids mercilessly, leaving only the remaining remains for other Pokémon to enjoy.

In order to adapt to the living environment from the sea to the land, the gills and feet of the sickle helmet began a long evolution process. Unfortunately, this evolution process was not completed and the sickle helmet encountered the fate of extinction. The reason for its extinction remains a mystery.

Some people speculate that it might be because its prey began to gradually move to land to live, forcing the sickle helmet to follow the footsteps of its prey and try to find a new living space on land.

However, this attempt ultimately failed, and the sickle helmet disappeared in the long river of history.
