In the quiet mountains, three tall female knights were walking quickly. They were Fugai and two others, who had accepted Hyde's order to deal with Naruto.
"Just dealing with a little kid. Do you really need to send all three of us? I can take care of that kind of kid by myself," Fugai said, looking down on the task.
"Well, don't say that. That kid is actually not bad," Camilla said with a charming giggle.
"Just shut up and finish this mission quickly," Rank said impatiently.
The three were very fast. Although they weren't ninja, their physical abilities, enhanced by the Gelel Stones, were no different from ninja.
But then, their eyes suddenly focused on a spot near a distant big tree. There stood two figures: a man in white robes and a woman with pink hair.
"That headband, just like that blonde kid, are they enemies?" Camilla was surprised, then laughed, "Consider it an appetizer."
After learning Neji's identity, they quickly decided he was an enemy. Camilla recklessly charged forward.
But at that moment, a melodious tune entered their ears, stopping them in their tracks. They froze, their eyes showing fear.
Magic Flute - Dream Sound Lock!
The ice flute in Neji's hand slowly disappeared. With a wave, three streaks of white light shot toward Fugai and the others.
Eight Trigrams Mountain Breaker!
With enough power to collapse a small mountain, the attacks pierced through their chests without any surprise. System notifications rang out one after another, and in the blink of an eye, three stones emitting a strange blue light with special markings appeared in Neji's hand.
The reward for fighting them was three Gelel Stones.
"This feeling, could it be a crystal of Chakra? Such a high concentration of Chakra, but how is that possible? Tailed beasts should be the collection of high-concentration Chakra," Neji stared intently at the Gelel Stones with his Byakugan, filled with questions.
"Never mind, I'll put them in the system space first," Neji thought silently. Then, the three Gelel Stones in his hand suddenly disappeared.
"So, so amazing!" Sakura said in surprise. He defeated these three in an instant, so easily. Neji's strength was too much.
"Let's go. With Shikamaru's power, holding back Temujin should be no problem," Neji ignored the three dead women and quickly disappeared into the mountains with Sakura.
The sky gradually darkened. At that moment, inside a very hidden cave in the mountainside, Shikamaru, Gaara, and the others stared intently at the tied-up Temujin.
After the fighting in the Land of Wind ended, the two groups met here and together captured Temujin, who had come to cause trouble.
"Old man, is there no way to destroy the Gelel Stone mine?" Shikamaru rubbed his head. A lot of troublesome things were piling up in his mind, giving him a headache.
Hayan looked at Temujin deeply and shook his head.
"There's no way? Damn it, if you can't control that power, why did you bring it into this world in the first place?!" Temari shouted.
"No, there is a way, right?" At that moment, Neji arrived in the cave with Sakura. As soon as they appeared, everyone looked over at them.
"Hey, how did you find this place?" Shikamaru asked. But Neji didn't answer him. Instead, he looked at Gaara.
He had once delicately asked Orochimaru how to extract a tailed beast without harming the Jinchuriki, but the answer was no. As long as the tailed beast was extracted, the Jinchuriki would die. Although he was prepared for this, Neji was still a little disappointed.
To free Shukaku, he had to follow the story step by step. Taking the tailed beast from Akatsuki was clearly something Neji could do with a clearer conscience than extracting the tailed beast from Gaara's body.
Gaara's expression was quite unfriendly when he saw Neji again. Although he had been moved by Naruto's talk, he still had no good feelings for Neji.
"What do you mean by saying there's a way?" Gaara asked coldly.
Neji walked up to Temujin, picked him up, and said to them, "There's only one way to destroy the Gelel Stone mine. That is, use this guy's blood to activate an ancient summoning array of his clan."
"Summoning array?" Naruto scratched his head and asked stupidly, "Is it a Summoning Technique?"
"That's right, it's a Summoning Technique. The royal family made a blood pact with it, and it can summon the [Dimensional Hole] that devours everything. It connects to another world. If we use it, the Gelel Stone mine can be completely destroyed."
"What?! You, how do you know?"
Hayan looked like he had seen a ghost. This was supposed to be a secret that his clan had guarded for generations, and even few people in the clan knew about it. But what was happening now? An outsider had actually said it.
"My information network is beyond your imagination," Neji threw Temujin to the ground and said to Hayan, "You want to protect the last bloodline of this royal family, but they won't appreciate it. You should understand the danger of the Gelel Stone mine better than anyone else."
"If Hyde gets it, or if the mine gets out of control by accident, half of this continent will be devastated," Neji took out a kunai, cut a wound on Temujin, collected his blood, and said to Hayan again, "Destroying it is the best way."
Hayan fell into deep thought. After a moment, he bit his lip and made a decision, "I understand."
Soon, led by Hayan, the group arrived at a barren mountain range. Neji activated his Kagura Shingan (Mind's Eye) and indeed felt a strong Chakra below.
"It's here," Hayan said in a low voice. The summoning array was also in this mine. As long as the royal bloo
d was poured into it, the [Dimensional Hole] would appear.
"Ah," Neji responded calmly. Then he walked onto the stone platform that looked like an elevator, ready to go down.
"Wait, once the [Dimensional Hole] is opened, it will be uncontrollable. No one can escape that gravity," Hayan said urgently.
"Heh, ninja are different from you ordinary people," Neji said scornfully, "Instead of worrying about such trivial things, you should prepare for the battle ahead."
"What do you mean?"
"Temujin has a tracker on him." As soon as he finished speaking, the mountainside suddenly collapsed, and a huge mechanical fortress stood before everyone's eyes.
At the same time, Neji fell down with a whoosh.
