Chapter 719
"Gather the monsters first..."
……
In the next two days, Naruto's whereabouts were elusive. Although the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, the other party never showed up. Konoha and the others could only ensure that Naruto was still in the circle.
"There are traces of his movements. Look, he appeared here 32 times, but only once there. He's most likely scouting the area."
Nara Shikaku pointed to a location on the sand table. Yamanaka Inoichi touched his chin and thought, then he pointed again at a place with a small red flag.
"This is where he's hiding. Unfortunately, he should have moved to another location now. However, considering his previous hiding places, there's a clear trail."
"You mean Uzumaki Naruto will be here?"
Yamanaka Haiyi pointed to a road in the direction of the Land of Wind, but Nara Shikaku shook his head and pointed in another completely opposite direction, which was the main road leading to the Land of Thunder, surrounded by a huge lake.
"Here, the other party will definitely appear here tomorrow."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Then I will report to the Hokage immediately. Tomorrow, we will form a pocket formation with heavy troops and capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and bring him back to the village."
Yamanaka Inoichi immediately used communication ninjutsu to communicate with Sarutobi Hiruzen who was away. The Third Hokage approved Nara Shikaku's guess and immediately mobilized manpower. The reason for the heavy troops was that they were worried that the Nine-Tails would go berserk, which would make things very troublesome.
On the other side, Naruto was staying in a hole in the ground, which he dug himself. The method was very simple. He just had to dig three squares downwards and then fill one square upwards to perfectly isolate himself from the ninjas that spawned from outside!
Naruto was holding a biscuit in his hand. It was what he brought with him when he went out. He knew that it might be a long battle, so he prepared some high-calorie food in advance.
"The other party must have fallen into the trap."
"Brother Qing, since the enemy has already mobilized their forces and gathered over there, why don't we just break through their weak spot? Why do we have to walk into their encirclement?"
"That's a good point, but breaking through the encirclement doesn't mean you won't be surrounded again, and this method is unlikely to work a second time, so this is your only chance.
The reason for all this is that your speed is not as fast as that of the Konoha ninjas. The opponent's senior ninjas can quickly get ahead of you and surround you again by running at full speed.
So there is only one way: to destroy the other party's confidence and make them afraid to pursue you."
Kamiya Seiichi was calm. If Naruto had not developed fully enough, there would be no need for him to take action.
"That's it, I understand!"
……
The next day, in front of the vast lake was a lush, boundless forest. The Fire Kingdom was rich in products, with fertile soil and water, and extremely abundant resources. Forests and freshwater lakes like this were everywhere, which was completely different from the Wind Kingdom.
In the Kingdom of Wind, water is the most precious commodity. Without a stable water supply, prosperous towns cannot develop.
The ninja troops hiding in the deep forest were silent. Occasionally, fish jumped out of the water on the lake, sparkling in the sunlight, flashing moving colors. The bright white sand spread all over the edge. Naruto stepped on the beach, leaving long footprints.
But it wasn't one line of footprints, but two!
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, and even Jiraiya beside him looked serious. Who was this person, with a body covered by a black gilded robe, a scarlet flowing mask of a god or demon, and a tall and slender figure?
Why are you with Uzumaki Naruto?
This is of course Kamiya Seiichi who is temporarily using Naruto's body, and the one next to him is just a shadow clone.
In order to cross the lake, Seiichi Kamiya had to walk half a circle around the beach by the lake until he came in front of the ninja troops. In an instant, countless black shurikens and kunai fell from the sky!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! The sound of breaking wind rang out in the air. Kamiya Seiichi, holding his clone, kept changing his body shape, leaving afterimages everywhere. In an instant, he actually dodged all the shurikens.
In the four corners of the lake, purple barrier pillars rose up, covering the area within several kilometers centered on Kamiya Qingyi. They were constructed by a barrier team of dozens of people.
Four people would be too fragile, but forty would be very strong, even if it was just a four-violet flame formation.
The ninja troops filed in, most of them were familiar faces, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi... and so on, there were also many Genin and even Naruto's classmates here.
"Who are you?! What do you and the blue-masked man want?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly that no matter what, the Jinchūriki who wanted to kidnap them was destined to be severely punished, especially since the dragnet had already covered them and there was no way the other party could escape.
"Who? That's a really good question. You can call me Hephaestus, but I prefer you to call me the God of Fire. As for the one before you, you can call him Oceanus, the God of Water."
Seiichi Kamiya was talking nonsense seriously, but his hoarse and playful voice made people feel extremely heavy in their hearts.
"Arrogant! There is only one God, and that is the God of Ninja, Senju Hashirama."
A ninja refuted, and Kamiya Qingyi glanced at them and laughed: "Then from today on, the whole world must remember us, you can call us: The Divine Organization!
Witness history, analyze history, an unprecedented era has come before you, pay homage and submit! "
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, and the ninjas around him knew what to do, and instantly gave the order: "Attack!" Suddenly, countless ninjutsu and shurikens came roaring in this direction!
The seal in Kamiya Seiichi's hand was instantly formed, and then a small hole appeared in front of him, equivalent to his mouth. He took a deep breath, his chest and lungs expanded, and then suddenly blew forward:
"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"
The vast lake boiled instantly!

Then I took a day off on January 1st because I had to go to work (sad)
