The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

The moon sets and the stars sink, and the golden crow rises in the east.

After a night's rest, Hanzo and Kaoru embarked on their journey again.

The two of them had no intention of rushing, but were slowly moving towards the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Sichuan.

However, there is only a small country called Rain Country between the Country of Sichuan and the Country of Grass.

Therefore, the border between the Fire Country and these two countries is naturally not far from each other.

Even though they were moving forward slowly, shortly after the sun passed midday, the two of them arrived near the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Sichuan.

"Speaking of which, it's not too far from the Senju Clan's headquarters."

While the two were chatting and laughing, Kaoru suddenly said to Hanzo.

Hanzo thought for a while and said: "Indeed, if we go that way now, we should be able to get there in a short time."

"Then why don't we go and visit? I think you and Hashirama are on good terms these days, right?" Kaoru Terumi said with a smirk.

"Come on."

Hanzo shook his head helplessly: "Hashirama may welcome me, but the Senju clan members and elders will probably hate me to death."

Just kidding, he just put the eldest brother of the human family under house arrest in the Shimada clan's residence for a long time.

Now that Baba is getting close to him, it's surprising that people can give him a good look.

But looking at Terumi Kaoru's evil smile, Hanzo didn't seem to be taking advantage of him that much.

"I heard that Hashirama's wife, Mito, is famous for being fiery, and she is only gentle to Hashirama. If the two of us go to visit the Senju clan, Mito will definitely come out to receive you. Then...

"

Hanzo said, with an inexplicable expression on his face.

Although Terumi Kaoru didn't know Mrs. Senju, looking at Hanzo's malicious expression, she couldn't help but feel numb. She quickly waved her hands and said, "Hey, let's not talk about this. We're not here to do a mission."

,The task is the most important thing, the task is the most important thing..."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Hanzo couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dwell on this matter anymore, and instead changed the topic to the mission.

"It's not far from Kyuubi's lair."

Hanzo's expression became serious: "This Nine-Tails is no better than the Two-Tails, Kaoru, don't show your face then, I can test it alone."

Terumi Kaoru knew that Hanzo was far superior to her in both strength and life-saving ability.

Therefore, she did not act like a little girl, and immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't delay..."

Before he finished speaking, Hanzo suddenly covered Xun's mouth with his hand, hugged her and moved quickly.

Not long after, the two of them were hidden among the leaves of a dense tree.

At this time, Hanzo also slowly released his hand covering Xun's mouth and made a shushing gesture to her.

Xun was still a little confused at first, but in the next second, everything in front of him answered everything for Hanzo.

A huge orange-red figure appeared in their sight.

The orange-red fur, pale fangs, fierce vertical pupils, and nine slightly swaying long tails all illustrate the identity of the monster in front of him - Nine Tails.

Looking at the Kyuubi appearing in her sight, Terumi Kaoru couldn't help but hold her breath. At this time, she also understood why Hanzo suddenly brought her to such a far away place to hide.

The two tails can sense the two of them inexplicably, and the nine tails may not have the same ability.

But she still had some doubts.

Since they came to test Kyuubi's strength, why were they hiding like this?

Wouldn't it be enough to just fight the opponent directly?

However, the huge aura of Kyuubi made Xun subconsciously give up the idea of ​​asking out loud, and had to think about it silently.

While Terumi Kaoru was racking his brains, Hanzo looked at Kyuubi with a somewhat complicated expression.

As a Naruto manga fan in his previous life, Hanzo has some special emotions towards Kyuubi.

After all, at the beginning of Naruto, this tailed beast was the first to appear in front of every manga fan.

Subsequently, from the beginning to the end, this tailed beast accompanied the protagonist Uzumaki Naruto through all the hardships, and also accompanied every Naruto fan through the years of crazy pursuit of the manga.

He also knew very well that the seemingly ferocious and cruel Nine-Tailed Nine Lama was not actually a real monster.

In other words, in fact, every tailed beast is not a real monster.

Of course, after a while, Hanzo retracted some of his feelings.

After coming to the ninja world for so many years, all the things he experienced in his previous life are just a memory, which can make him feel a little emotional, but it cannot affect his plan.

Kyuubi was moving along a straight line, while Hanzo and Terumi Kaoru were located some distance away from that line.

Looking at the direction in which Kyuubi was heading, Terumi Kaoru suddenly seemed to realize something, but seemed a little unable to grasp it.

"This Kyuubi...is heading towards the Kawakuni Country, right?"

Seeing Kyuubi walking away, Terumi Kaoru whispered to Hanzo beside him.

"That's right." Hanzo nodded: "I have an interesting idea now. Let's follow it. Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise."

After saying that, Hanzo immediately entered sage mode, and then took Terumi Kaoru along the path that Kyuubi walked, hanging far behind.

Although the two of them were quite far away from Kyuubi, tracking Kyuubi was really not that difficult.

Not to mention the messy forest after the Kyuubi passed through, the evil and huge group of chakra in Hanzo's perception in Sage Mode alone was enough to show the direction of the Kyuubi.

"Didn't you say that we don't have time to go to the Kingdom of Sichuan or even the Kingdom of Wind to track down the Kyuubi?" Kaoru Terumi said with a smile as she hurried on.

Hanzo shook his head when he heard this: "I was talking about tracking. The Kingdom of Sichuan is said to be a small country, but its territory is even close to the Kingdom of Thunder, and the Kingdom of Wind is the largest country among the five major countries.

If we were to search for traces of Kyuubi in this vast area, it would undoubtedly be a big project.

But now we are hanging behind Kyuubi, so that’s no problem, since it’s impossible to lose him, and according to the intelligence, the Kyuubi only goes out for four or five days at most, so we still have enough time.”

Hanzo explained to Kaoru.

"That's right." Terumi Kaoru was still a little confused: "But we just want to test its strength, why are we following it?"

Hanzo suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Because by following it... maybe we can learn the information about Kyuubi without taking action."

"Is there such a good thing?" Terumi Kaoru asked curiously: "Tell me, what do you know?"

Hanzo didn't want to spoil too much with Terumi Kaoru, but he couldn't resist her inquiring, so he could only say in a guessing tone: "I think the Kyuubi looks so fierce, maybe he is looking for someone to fight.

Do you think there are any people or creatures in the Kingdom of Sichuan or the Kingdom of Wind that are worthy of the Nine-Tails fighting with them year after year?"

When Terumi Kaoru heard this, she first went through a lot of information about the Kingdom of Wind. She was still a little confused at first and suddenly felt blessed. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Could it be... Ichibi?"
