Bringing the Hokage legacy to the Nine Realms of Golden Light

Barren Mountain Position

In the meeting hall of the Heaven and Earth Departments

"Senior Yan Tuolong knows him?" Qiao Rulai asked curiously after hearing Yan Tuolong's words.

"We met him on the road. I was able to find him thanks to the road map he gave me." Yan Tuolong said.

"I see!"

When Tian Heng heard Yan Tuolong's willingness to help find information and search for volcanoes, he immediately stepped forward and shook his head, saying, "Old senior, just leave these small matters to people like us who don't have much martial power!

"You great masters should take a break and conserve your energy so that you can exert your best strength in the final battle!"

I just received instructions from Xi Jianliu, asking the people from the Central Plains to target the volcano.

If he asks others to help look for it, and something unexpected happens and they find other volcanoes, wouldn't his mission then have failed?

"Ha, it's just flipping through a book. It's a small thing and doesn't take much energy." Yan Tuolong said with a smile. He was very satisfied with this attitude that could persuade him to take a rest.

at the same time

In the valley behind the barren mountain position, Snow Mountain Silver Swallow has regained consciousness after a period of rest, and is now training here again.

The slight breakthrough that he had made due to a momentary outburst was gone after he relaxed.

This is just like studying and doing homework. If you keep your nerves tense and concentrate on it, you will feel as if you are assisted by God. However, if you relax halfway, it will take more effort to get back to your previous state.

"Yinniu! You really wasted Brother Zhou's help! You just saw a glimmer of hope, but you forgot everything after waking up from a sleep!" Although Jian Wuji was sarcastic, he also felt sorry!

After he regained consciousness, Jian Wuji and Zhou Zheng's clone brought him over to see the traces left by his previous outburst.

Although the scene was full of pea-sized holes, he no longer has any memory of that time.

I have no idea how I did it.

Looking at the scenes, his face was full of confusion.

"Brother Zhou, let's do it again!" Xueshan Yinyan looked at Zhou Zheng and said seriously. This request was to let him experience the horrific incident he had experienced before again.

"Are you sure? According to common sense, for this kind of thing, the effect is best the first time. If you do it again in the future, the effect will become worse and worse because people are already prepared mentally, because after that, you already have a subconscious defense in your heart." Zhou Zheng was explaining on the side.

"This kind of thing won't happen to him! He's just like a cow, with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He won't think when encountering something, let alone ponder. He will just rush forward like a cow." Jian Wuji said from the side. Although he still spoke with a hint of sarcasm, his purpose was to get Zhou Zheng to help.

"Sure?"

"Hey! Stupid Ox is strong and healthy, so you don't have to be afraid!" Jian Wuji came to Xueshan Yinyan and waved his hand and punched him twice in the chest.

"Since you have already made up your mind, I will try it again!" As he said that, he walked directly to the previous position in the center of the valley.

Snow Mountain Silver Swallow hurriedly followed.

"Illusion: The Art of Seeing the Darkness"

"Ah... Xiaokong..."

Outside the field, Zhou Zheng and Jian Wuji looked at each other.

Zhou Zheng read a meaning from Jian Wuji's eyes: "What do you think? I said he would definitely not be able to defend against it!"

Xijianliu

All the information related to the volcano has been compiled and sent to Akabane Nobunosuke.

In the main hall, the military advisor stood at the front, and in the hall were the other uninjured people from the Eight Gates, as well as the ministers of the six ministries.

“In the Central Plains, although the Heaven and Earth Departments have already received news of a volcano, they still want to get more information about the location of the volcano.

“This is not beyond my expectation. Tenma Michitaka, Kiyomaru, and Izumo Nohū, the three of you all have a solid foundation in illusion. This time, it is up to you three to find those people sent by Zhongyuan to look for the volcano, and then lead them to the volcano we have prepared for them.

"Remember, we must not let them realize our intentions! Go, someone will convey the relevant information to you!" said Akabane Nobunosuke.

"Yes!" The three received the order and left the hall at the same time.

"Kanda Kyoichi, what's the situation with the Tianlong Gang?" Akabane Nobuyuki asked a man in the hall who seemed to be half asleep, with a knife slung around his waist and another knife on his back.

"Reporting to the military advisor, with the help of Taoist Sanqing, we have obtained the personal and family information of all the members of the Tianlong Gang. Do we need to take action?" Kanda Kyoichi's expression became serious, and he immediately answered with full energy.

"Not for now, just get ready. What's going on in the Tianlong Gang?" Akabane Nobunosuke asked again after answering.

"The sorcerer named Zhou Zheng has been running all over the mountain, saying he is preparing something, but Taoist Sanqing has no idea what he is preparing. He only knows that he is carving runes and burying them underground.

"When he asked about the effect, the other party didn't answer him, but just said it was a good thing." Kanda Kyoichi has already contacted the Three Pure Ones Taoist priests in the Tianlong Gang, and the information can often be obtained in the fastest time.

"Can we use his identity to bring a few people in?" asked Akabane Nobunosuke.

Taoist Priest Sanqing is the leader of one of the Five Mountains Alliances and has a high status. If he wants to bring a few people into it, it should not be a difficult task.

"We have already arranged for people who specialize in surveying and drawing maps to go in. As for the others, if they don't have basic skills in magic or experience in using poison, it won't be of much use if they go in," said Kanda Kyoichi.

"Well! Go find Igawa Shizuka and ask her to give you a few poison masters, and then send them to the Tianlong Gang." Akabane Nobunosuke gave new instructions again.

"Yes!" Kanda Kyoichi was a little excited, then turned around and left the hall.

on the other hand

The old site of the Ministry

After Xijianliu gave the order, Xijianliu and the surrendered soldiers from the Central Plains started searching outward from this center.

Under the carpet search, no place could escape their search.

Long New Village

In the previous five years, Xijianliu had come here many times.

But every time, the people who came were just ordinary ninjas. For these people, Zhou Zheng only needed to use a few illusions to easily make them leave.

But now, Zhou Zheng is not here, and the Xijianliu ninjas came to the village with a team of surrendered soldiers, and drove all the villagers together in a ferocious manner.

Faced with this violent expulsion, the villagers did not dare to resist at all. They gathered in groups of three or four, or as family units or based on their relationships, hugging each other and comforting each other.

Just to give each other some sense of security.

At this time, a man from the Central Plains came out holding a scroll.

"Who is the village chief here? Stand up!"

Although he was not standing on a high place, he still had an aura of superiority, oppressing the people who were crowded together so much that their bodies trembled involuntarily and they squeezed even tighter.

The old man standing at the front had no choice but to raise his hand.

"I am the village chief!"

"Very good! We are not here to cause you any trouble! We just have something to confirm with you. Come and see if you recognize the person in this portrait?" The surrendered soldier showed off his minions in a domineering manner.

The portraits in the pictures are very lifelike and vivid.

With just one glance, he immediately recognized Zhou Zheng!

During the five years he lived in the village, he supplied more than half of the meat for the entire village because of his superb hunting and fishing skills.

The remaining small half are chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep raised by the villagers themselves.

The village chief is just an ordinary person after all. Under the oppression of those strong men, even if he wants to act as if he doesn't care and seems to know what's going on, he is still full of flaws.

He was discovered as soon as they met.

"It seems like he knows him. Who is he? What's his relationship with you here? Does he have any family or friends in the village?"

"I don't know him! We don't know him! This village has nothing to do with him! He has no relatives or friends here." The village chief said hurriedly.

"Lying is not a good habit! If you don't tell the truth, we will take action!" said the warrior, and asked someone to pull out three people from the crowd, an old man, a young woman, and a little boy under ten years old.

The families of the three people who were dragged away cried and shouted, trying to pull them back, but their thoughts were simply impossible to achieve. After rushing out of the crowd, all they were greeted with was a hard kick.

The three men stood side by side, and the surrendered soldiers who were holding them down drew out their swords and placed them on the shoulders of the three men.

"I'll ask you again, do you recognize him? If you don't tell the truth, I'll chop you down with the knife."

Threatening words lingered in everyone's ears.

The people around didn't have time to be afraid, especially the families of the three people who were taken away.

They all gathered together and came to the village chief.

"Who on earth is the village chief? How can he be more important than the people in our own village?"

"show me!"

A group of people rushed together, and when they saw the face in the portrait, they were instantly surprised.

"Isn't this Zhou Zheng?" a man shouted in surprise!

"I know this man, his name is Zhou Zheng, and he's a hunter in our village! I've already said it, can you give my son back to me?" The man spoke quickly, just to get his son back from the other party's knife as soon as possible.

"Oh? Do you know him? Is there any more information?" The warrior grabbed the shouting man and asked.

The village chief next to him just sighed, then turned and looked away, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him anymore.

"I don't know! I don't know either! He suddenly came to the village five years ago!

"When we found him, he had fainted on the roadside. We picked him up and brought him back to the village. He has been living in the village ever since. Apart from hunting and fishing, we didn't see him doing any other activities.

"Except for exchanging prey for food, he doesn't talk to anyone. He is a complete weirdo and is not familiar with the people in the village! I don't know anything else about him." After saying this, the man looked at the other party expectantly, wanting to take his child back.

"Hero, can you give my child back to me?" They are just ordinary people. What they want most is the stability and happiness of their own small family. They don't really care about the news about the invaders.

"He was brought back to the village by you while he was unconscious?" the other party asked again as if to confirm.

"Yes!"

"So, you are his savior, right? There must be a chance to repay the life-saving grace!

"Catch them all! Take them back!"

The leader makes the decision, and the others don’t care whether these people are innocent or not. As long as the task is completed, nothing else matters.
