Chapter 186 Naruto leaves the village

In the deep mine of the ruins, Xia Li was lying in the lake formed by the mine.

Although there are still many lakes here, the water level has dropped compared to when Xia Li first saw it.

This made Xia Li a little helpless. After all, although this mine is a kind of natural energy, it does not seem to be pure natural energy, so he needs to go through a round of conversion before he can absorb it.

His absorption speed is getting faster and faster, but Xia Li feels that the progress of transformation is still far away.

This actually made Xia Li a little confused before. If it is so difficult to transform, then how did those people practice before the appearance of chakra?

Now, Xia Li has roughly figured it out. In fact, this transformation process cannot be said to be a transformation process.

It is a process of cultivation in itself, but Xia Li does not have a method to directly use natural energy, so he can't detect the degree of strengthening.

Xia Li feels that his current state is definitely not bad in the era before the appearance of chakra.

However, even if there is no way to detect the degree of strengthening, some of the effects it brings have made Xia Li feel good.

Just like the physical aspect, it has been greatly strengthened, and the amount of chakra has also increased a lot. According to this magnitude, Xia Li is very sure.

When the training is completed, relying on his physical condition, he should be able to open the first few gates of the Eight Gates without injury. As for how many gates he can open, it can only be determined when the training is completed.

In addition, in terms of chakra, if the natural energy in his body is also converted into chakra, then the total amount of chakra in Xia Li is much more than before.

Therefore, there is reason to believe that when the training is completed, the problem of chakra quantity will also be solved.

On this day, Xia Li's training has not been completed, but he feels that a lot of the power of the ore vein seems to be dissipated, and the surrounding stone walls seem to be shaking.

So Xia Li also broke away from the training state and entered the perception state.

"Why is Naruto here?" Xia Li's face was a little strange.

If Naruto is here, it can only mean that this ruins is indeed the ruins that exist in the original book, but he skipped this section when he was reading it.

Thinking back to Naruto's record, Xia Li felt something was wrong. When Naruto had solved all the problems, would this relic still exist?

It didn't matter if the relic disappeared, but would these natural energy veins still exist?

No, these veins were related to his cultivation, and Naruto couldn't just waste them.

Xia Li sensed Naruto's battle. His opponent seemed to be absorbing the power of the veins with the help of something, but this power was very shallow, and it was simply relying on the power of these natural energies.

He had no idea how to use it, and he couldn't use ninjutsu...

Xia Li looked at the natural energy escaping from the veins, and his face looked a little strange.

Xia Li slowly came to the direction of the escaping and sat there. Suddenly, all the escaping power was absorbed by Xia Li.

…………

"What a trouble." Shikamaru looked at the enemy in front of him, a guy who turned into a bat and flew around in the air, and felt a little headache.

Why did things happen to this point? He was just temporarily teaming up with Sakura and Naruto to complete a D-level mission to find the lost snow ferret.

Then they suddenly encountered the dark knight who suddenly attacked them, and then a huge mobile fortress appeared, which even alarmed the Sand Ninja.

Finally, they came to such a large ruins...

Shikamaru still feels a little outrageous, but no matter how outrageous it is, he can only solve the problem in front of him first.

I hope Naruto is okay.

Naruto was gritting his teeth and staring at the mastermind behind all the things. The other party was obviously the biggest villain, but he deceived everyone.

Naruto looked at the old man who fell over there, and the blond boy Timothy who was already lying on the ground.

Not only was the other party used by Hyde, but he was also attacked by the other party and the Gray Stone that maintained his strength was taken away from his body.

In the end, he was even told by Hyde that it was Hyde who killed his parents, so Timothy had been working for his biggest enemy!

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart, this is Timothy's current state.

Naruto, who has a strong sense of empathy, is now extremely angry.

However, he was about to get rid of Hyde in front of him, but he was suppressed by the violent energy that suddenly appeared.

However, Naruto could feel that although the energy was a bit tricky, the other party would not use it. As long as he was given time, he could get rid of the other party!

Then, Naruto saw that the energy wrapped on the other party's body disappeared.

Suddenly, the scene was silent.

"How is it possible?! Why did it disappear? Grayer Stone! Hurry up and give me more power!" Hyde shouted in panic.

He had not yet enjoyed the comfort of being possessed by power, why did it suddenly disappear?

However, no matter how Hyde roared there, he still couldn't channel a trace of energy.

"Could it be that after so long, the Grayer mine has been exhausted? How could this happen?!" Hyde roared.

The old man over there seemed to have seen this scene as well. He was knocked to the ground and couldn't stand up in pain, but there was some confusion on his face at this time.

It really shouldn't be like this. Has the Grayer Mine really dried up?

However, this is a good thing. The old man breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he didn't need to worry about the other party using the Grayer Mine to do anything bad.

"Asshole, it seems that even God has abandoned you!" Naruto said, and the red chakra energy in one hand rose up, and soon condensed into a Rasengan full of enchanting colors.

"You...you guy, don't come over!" Hyde kept retreating.

"You are a guy who plays with people's hearts, you are not worthy of forgiveness!" Naruto was not affected at all, rushed to Hyde, and pressed the Rasengan into Hyde's heart.

"Bang!"

The powerful force blasted Hyde away with his screams, and finally smashed him against the wall. The Grayer Stone embedded in his chest was broken, and his heart was twisted beyond recognition. This injury could not be saved even if Tsunade came.

After doing all this, Naruto ran towards Timothy.

The old man over there looked at this scene and smiled with relief, then looked at the ruins again. Maybe the Grayer ore vein has really dried up?

And even if it is not exhausted, the only ritual platform that can open the seal has been broken.

The old man suddenly remembered that the broken mechanism before he came here might have been taken away by someone else? Only a little residual energy is left, but this is none of his business.

Since that kind of power is gone, there is no need to let Timsi sacrifice himself to open the cave of time and space.

So that's it...

…………

Xia Li was relieved when he sensed the departure of Naruto and his party, and the other party finally chose to bomb the entrance of this ruins.

So, he can be regarded as saving this vein, right?

The importance of this vein to Xia Li is self-evident, so Xia Li is ready to stop it directly when he sees something wrong.

Now it seems that it is not necessary, which saves a lot of trouble.

After all, if Xia Li suddenly appeared, he would need to explain why he appeared here.

At this time, Xia Li closed his eyes, fell back, and immersed himself in the lake of natural energy again.

The next day, Xia Li came to the Hokage's office and asked Tsunade for Naruto's mission report.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly curious about Naruto's mission?" Tsunade was a little surprised, but she also handed Xia Li the report written by Shikamaru.

"Well, I happened to come across it, so I'm a little curious." Xia Li replied and finished reading the mission report.

Then, Xia Li looked at the person who was originally just looking for the lost snow ferret and sending it to the designated location and couldn't help but pause. This mission and the subsequent development... can only be said to be worthy of Naruto's treatment.

Xia Li also confirmed that there should be some omissions in the original work that he didn't read, but it shouldn't have much impact.

"Naruto, that kid, many missions will have some strange events, and he often picks up some strange people." Tsunade looked at Naruto's mission at this time and complained.

In fact, it is not particularly strange to have some bizarre developments in the mission, and many teams have encountered them.

But Tsunade has never seen any team encounter as frequently as Naruto.

"Well, it's Naruto after all." Xia Li smiled after hearing Tsunade's complaints, after all, he was treated as the protagonist.

At this time, the door of the Hokage's office was opened again, and the rare guest who walked in from the outside was Jiraiya.

"Huh? Xia Li is here too, that's perfect." Jiraiya originally wanted to find Tsunade, but he didn't expect to see Xia Li here.

"What's wrong with you?" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to rub her temple, with an impatient expression on her face.

It's not Tsunade's fault, because recently many hot spring shops have issued tasks to her, saying that their customers sometimes feel peeped...

For such things, Tsunade didn't think about it and directly put it on Jiraiya's head, so it would be strange if she could give Jiraiya a good face.

"Well, don't be so heartless. I came here to inform you that I'm probably going to leave Konoha to investigate the Akatsuki organization." Jiraiya scratched his head and smiled.

Suddenly, Tsunade and Xia Li were both shocked.

"Besides, I want to take Naruto with me. His foundation is too weak. I need to take him to continue practicing to make up for these missing foundations." Jiraiya said again.

"Does Naruto know it?" Tsunade thought for a while, but did not refuse and asked.

"He doesn't know yet. I'll come here to tell him first, and then I'll go find him later." Jiraiya said.

"Okay, but you have to be careful. Focus on finding out the news. Don't be reckless." Tsunade warned. She was also very curious about the Akatsuki organization that suddenly appeared.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to care about me." Jiraiya laughed.

"Get lost!" Tsunade had a well-shaped character on her forehead, and she took the scroll next to her and threw it at Jiraiya.

"Teacher Jiraiya, are you... fat?" At this time, Xia Li looked at Jiraiya and suddenly said.

Jiraiya's face froze.

Tsunade also looked at Jiraiya at this time, nodded, and said, "Not only is he old, he is also getting fatter now."

Jiraiya was also desperate. He accompanied Naruto in training, but who knew that the little girl from the Hyuga family kept sending food to Naruto, and she sent a lot of food at a time. Naruto really couldn't finish it, so he finally shared it with him.

As a result, even if the two of them ate together, they were still very full before they could barely finish it. Then he became like this. Not only him, but Naruto also became a little heavier.

Jiraiya was wondering if the little girl from the Hyuga family was raising Naruto like a pig...

Until one day she was also kept by Naruto and ate with them, Jiraiya realized how wrong he was. It turned out that it was not the other party's fault, but that they really ate too little!

"Ahaha, you saw it wrong." Jiraiya smiled awkwardly, and then found an excuse to slip away.

Xia Li looked at Jiraiya's figure and was not worried. If it was just Jiraiya alone, he might have to worry that Jiraiya would rush in.

But since Jiraiya was also going to take Naruto with him, there was no need to worry anymore. With Naruto around, Jiraiya would never rush in.

A few days later, at the gate of Konoha, Xia Li, Sakura and Hinata watched Naruto and Jiraiya leave.

Naruto waved to them as he walked, with a smile on his face, looking at the three people behind him.

But he felt a little disappointed when he saw that Sakura's eyes didn't seem to be on him, and then he saw Hinata waving at him next to him...

Finally, Naruto paused and suddenly saw a figure.

Sakura's eyes kept looking around, but still didn't find the familiar figure, and her eyes couldn't help but dim.

What Sakura didn't notice was that a figure with a white mask without a pattern appeared on the gate of Konoha.

Sasuke and Naruto, who turned around, happened to meet each other's eyes, and they smiled at each other, and then Sasuke's figure disappeared on the gate again.

As for why he didn't choose to meet Sakura, it was because he heard Xia Li say that as long as Sakura saw him, she would focus on him, so it would be difficult for her to grow up. Sasuke also knew Sakura's fanaticism for him, so he chose not to see her.

Xia Li also looked at Naruto and Jiraiya, his eyes were somewhat deep.

It's already this time, so the action of the Akatsuki organization should be soon.

The curtain is about to rise!
