Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

Meng Zong, who was fleeing towards the Kingdom of Earth, could not help but feel his scalp numb when he heard the explosion of the Shinra Tianzheng in the distance.

Although he couldn't see what happened next, judging from the sound of the voices, the three brats from Yuyin Village must have some power that was completely beyond his understanding.

"Trash! If you don't want to die, hurry up!"

That sound, like a tarsal maggot, sounded in Meng Zong's mind again.

Meng Zong kept running at a fast pace. He glanced around with an ugly expression on his face, but still found no trace of any living thing.

"who are you?"

"What's the purpose of hiding in my body?"

The voice sneered.

"Hmph!"

"You don't need to care who I am, as long as you know that I can save you!"

"I told you a long time ago that those three brats are disciples of Hanzo Sanshouyu. There is no way a wandering ninja like you can compete with them."

"If you want to survive, put on your monk-like outfit again and run in the direction I gave you!"

Meng Zong gritted his teeth, but he did not dare to ignore the advice of this voice. He reached into his arms and took out a spare human skin mask and put it on his head. He turned into a kind-faced old monk again and ran towards the border of the Kingdom of Earth with all his might.

The border of the land of earth.

"Molten Escape-The Art of Burning River Rocks!"

Lao Zi, who was dressed like a wandering monk, spurted out a series of hot lava bombs from his mouth, burning several guys who tried to escape from the border of the Land of Earth after attacking him into a pile of coke.

"Humph! What a group of inexplicable weird guys!"

Lao Zi looked at the big trees that suddenly grew out of the charred corpse on the ground, and couldn't help but curse.

Walking to the big tree, Lao Zi stretched out his hand and pressed on the trunk. With a little force, the trunk broke with a click.

"How strange!"

"How can a person turn into a tree after death?"

"Sun! Do you know what's going on?"

Lao Zi asked in the air with a somewhat irritable tone.

"I'm not sure either!"

"But they look a bit similar to Senju Hashirama's Wood Release Ninjutsu!"

A rich male voice sounded in Lao Zi's mental space, and the four tails sealed in Lao Zi's body gave an answer that made Lao Zi unsatisfied.

"Hmph! That's ridiculous! How could a human being be created using wood release ninjutsu?"

Siwei did not argue and fell silent.

"Forget it! Anyway, all these guys who attacked me are dead."

"That guy Onoki has been wanting me to go back because Konoha has changed to a new Hokage recently."

"We have entered the Kingdom of Earth anyway, so why not go back and see how anxious he looks!"

Lao Zi imagined Ohnoki's short-figured face welcoming him back with a flattering smile, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his always stern face.

After all, it was still the village where he was born and raised. After being outside for so long, he might as well go back and take a look!

Lao Ziru thought.

"Someone is coming over here, and the chakra reaction on his body is not very strong!"

"But among the people chasing behind me, one of them had a very strong chakra reaction, and it gave me a familiar feeling. He must not be an ordinary ninja!"

Siwei suddenly reminded him, and fell silent again.

Lao Zi, who was about to turn around and return to Iwagakure Village, heard the reminder from the fourth tail. He stopped and turned around to look at a figure being chased from a distance, frowning slightly.

"Looks like he's a monk!"

"In today's ninja world, even monks are hunted down by people? It's really getting more and more disappointing!"

Lao Zi shook his head and sighed, but had no intention of stepping forward to help. He turned around and left.

There are too many killings and being killed every day in the ninja world. So what if you save the person who is being hunted? With his own strength, he can't change anything at all.

"Help!"

"Master in front, please help me!"

Meng Zong, who was running for his life, saw Lao Zi in front of him and couldn't help shouting for help.

After hearing Meng Zong's call for help, Lao Zi could not suppress the kindness in his heart and slowly stopped.

Meng Zong was overjoyed and ran to Lao Zi's side with all his strength, breathing heavily.

"Thank you!"

Lao Zi looked at Meng Zong's embarrassed appearance and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Forget it! Now that we've met, let's see what's going on!"

"Looking at you, you are also a traveling monk. Why are you being chased by those ninjas?"

Meng Zong hid behind Lao Zi, looked at the two Yahikos who were getting closer and closer, and quickly told his story while avoiding the main points.

"Master, the old monk just wanted to help Mr. Great Heron manage the Bird Kingdom better, but unexpectedly he was jealous of the assistant minister and invited ninjas from Yuyin Village to get rid of the old monk."

"The old monk did not have the strong power to protect himself. He was really helpless and had no choice but to ask the master for help."

"Master, please save me for the sake of fellow monks!"

Lao Zi frowned and nodded, looking at the three Yahikos who were flying forward, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Have the ninjas of Amegakure Village fallen to this level under the leadership of Hanzo?"

"You actually have to intervene in tasks involving other countries' internal struggles!"

Looking at Meng Zong who was hiding behind a ninja with purple clothes and brown hair and wearing a rock ninja forehead protector, Yahiko, who was chasing after him, showed a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

"snort!"

"No wonder you keep running away in the direction of the Earth Kingdom. Did you want to come to the Earth Kingdom to seek asylum?"

Yahiko snorted secretly and turned his gaze to Lao Zi.

"This senior from Iwagakure Village gathered a group of wandering ninjas with the intention of killing the daimyo and taking control of the Bird Country."

"Ame Hidden Village has received a commission from Lord Komei, the minister of the Kingdom of Birds, to capture this wandering ninja leader who is pretending to be a ninja monk. I would like to ask this senior for your convenience!"

Lao Zi looked at the serious-looking Yahiko, and then at the panic-looking Meng Zong behind him, and immediately felt troubled.

Both parties have their own opinions, and Lao Zi doesn't know which side is telling the truth. No matter which side he chooses to help, it may be the wrong choice.

Nagato, who was standing behind Yahiko, could see at a glance the chakra fluctuations exuding scorching heat contained in Lao Zi's body. He took a step forward to block Yahiko and Konan behind him, and stared at Lao Zi warily.

"Yahiko, Konan, be careful!"

"This person has a chakra power in his body that far exceeds that of ordinary ninjas. He may be the same as Sister Kushina."

"This is probably a trap, be careful of the sudden attack of this Iwagakure ninja!"

Yahiko and Konan immediately understood that this middle-aged rock ninja in purple might have something similar to the Kyuubi in his body.

The two of them felt slightly chilled in their hearts, and slowly mobilized the chakra in their bodies, watching Lao Zi with vigilance as he stood in front of Meng Zong.

"Old Zi, be careful of the red-haired boy opposite, his eyes."

The moment Nagato opened his mouth, the slightly panicked voice of the fourth tail came into his mind. Lao Zi was startled and turned his gaze to Nagato.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became tense.
