Chapter 106

At the same time, on the other side of the Wind Country.

Ross Jess, who was digging sand, listened to his subordinates' reports.

"Boss, we dug a vein. I don't know what this is. There is a power on this ore that suppresses the devil fruit ability in me."

A subordinate brought up a piece of ore.

"Can it suppress the ability of the devil fruit ability user?"

Ross Jess took the ore. The moment he got the ore, he didn't feel that his ability disappeared.

Because his ability is normally a passive effect.

But at the moment he got the ore, Ross Jess felt weak all over and his body immediately softened.

"Kaorin, you take it."

After handing the ore to Karin next to him, Ross Jess regained his strength.

"Can it suppress the devil fruit ability, is it the same effect as sea water?"

"What's wrong with your knife?"

Ross Jess saw that his subordinate's knife was broken.

"This ore is very hard. Even if I try my best, I can only cut out this little bit.

Then, my knife broke."

Ross Jess's men said.

"That's good. It seems that it's not easy to mine this thing."

"Bal, Xianglin, you take your people here and collect as much ore as possible."

"Yes, Captain!"

Deputy Captain Bal said.

They also looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and then Ross Jess walked towards the dark clouds alone.

"Come and pick me up in three days, go straight in this direction.

Cover up this vein when you leave."

Ross Jess gave the last order to his subordinates. He noticed that something big seemed to have happened in the distance. He had to join in the excitement.

"Captain Ross, if you don't have an umbrella, please wear this hat!!"

Xianglin caught up with him and took off the straw hat on her head. She also felt the pressure from afar.

"Please... please take care of yourself and don't catch a cold."

Ross Jess looked down at Karin in front of him, and a touch of tenderness appeared in his cold eyes.

Ross Jess squatted down and showed a kind smile on his face.

"I will take good care of myself. Remember, you must come to pick me up in three days, otherwise I will catch a cold."

After that, he put on a straw hat.

"Okay... okay, Captain!!"

Chapter 121 Thunder! !

Tick-tick-tick! !

In the dry desert, rain fell from the sky, and the dust on the sand was rolled up. People in the rainstorm range also looked at the sky curiously.

Although Ross Jess didn't know what happened, he vaguely felt that something dangerous seemed to have happened in the distance, because from the beginning, Karin warned them not to get close to that area.

On the other side, Gaara and others who had been active in this area also noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky.

"It's raining?"

"How can it rain in the Land of Wind? This is impossible."

"Is it a large-scale ninjutsu?"

Temari frowned.

"It can't be a ninjutsu. Even the Six Paths Sage can't do this kind of ninjutsu. The range is too large. It looks more like natural weather."

Gaara shook his head. The power of the One-Tail in his body seemed to be suppressed by the sky. This feeling made him feel very bad.

"Kankuro, send a message to the others, gather quickly, and tell them to stop arresting pirates. Something big may happen."

Gaara immediately ordered.

Since the second generation Kazekage, the Sand Village has always been established by force. No matter what Gaara's character was before, Gaara's strength belongs to the strongest in the Sand Village.

Yes, it is the strongest.

If you don't believe it, look at the strongest Kazekage, the third generation Kazekage, and then look at what the fourth generation Kazekage looks like, and you can understand Gaara's status.

Of course, from the current point of view, the ninja strength of Sand Village may be weaker than that of Mist Village.

Even Gaara, who is trained as the future successor, is far from strong enough, but this is also the reason why Gaara appears here and has a certain command power.

"Yes!"

Kankuro received Gaara's order and immediately spread the news.

Dense beetles came out from under the sand, which is one of the abilities of a special ability user in Sand Village.

Kakashi on the other side also saw the abnormality here, and at the same time, Naruto also sensed the oppression from the sky.

"Kakashi teacher, are we going over?"

Sasuke asked.

"Not for the time being, it's too risky for us to go over now. Let's send Sakura back to the camp and heal her wounds first."

Kakashi said.

Sakura on the side was still wrapped in bandages, and her face was frighteningly pale.

"Sorry, Kakashi teacher, and... everyone!!"

Sakura lowered her head. If her strength was not so weak, how could she be used as a breakthrough point by the pirates?

But...

Sakura looked at the increasingly unfamiliar Naruto in front of her. Is this still the carefree Naruto who always did stupid things?

And Sasuke, although Sasuke still had the same personality, he no longer had the pride he had before.

In these few months, everyone around me seems to be growing up.

Only she seemed to be standing still.

"It's okay, Sakura, let's go back to the camp quickly."

"Kakashi-sensei, I feel like there will be a lot of people passing by in that direction."

Naruto said, the current Naruto is not the Naruto who always talks about his big words.

In the past, he always wanted to be taken seriously by others, always wanted to be the shadow of the village and be recognized by everyone.

That dream is so far out of reach.

But with the advent of a new era, the so-called "shadow" seems not so far away, and Naruto's dream doesn't seem so big.

Moreover, Naruto now thinks that he can become the shadow of Konoha. This is not because he thinks it, but because he has a clear understanding of "shadow".

In addition, due to the existence of the surname "Uzumaki", Naruto can now be noticed by everyone even if he does nothing.

This is the pressure that the name "Uzumaki" brings to Naruto. If he doesn't work hard, he will only become the Hokage of Konoha in the future.

If you put this sentence in the past, you might think it was outrageous.

But now, it makes sense.

Because this is what Kakashi said to Naruto.

Look at the original Xianglin, she was about the same age as Naruto, but she was more powerful than Naruto.

No longer look at another member of the Uzumaki clan, Nagato, the leader of the revolutionary army, the leader of an organization that lays out the ninja world.

As for Shanks, let alone that.

In other words, Naruto is now the weakest among all the people with the surname "Uzumaki" in the ninja world.

Therefore, Naruto's growth is very unreasonable when viewed under normal circumstances, but it is very reasonable when viewed among the Uzumaki clan.

It is for this reason that Sasuke is very calm now.

Isn't it normal for Naruto to be so strong? Although I am a genius of the Uchiha clan, Naruto also has the blood of the Uzumaki clan. Who among the Uzumaki clan here is not a genius?

"The desert of the Kingdom of Wind does not have such large-scale rainfall, and it cannot be a ninjutsu, so it may be the ability of a powerful Devil Fruit user."

Sasuke analyzed that his perception was not as strong as Naruto's, but he could make up for this with his brain.

In this regard, Sasuke's brain is still better than Naruto's.

"A devil fruit ability that can cover such a large area?"

Hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto opened his mouth in surprise.

"Is this surprising? After all, just a sacred tree turned the entire Kingdom of Wind into a desert.

Therefore, the power of Devil Fruit cannot be underestimated. "

Sasuke grinned and said, to be honest, if it weren't for Shisui who calmed him down, Sasuke would have gone to be a pirate.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the power of Devil Fruit is extremely powerful, far faster than the strength gained through hard training in ninjutsu.

"that's true."

Naruto nodded, and sure enough, although he had grown up, Sasuke had also been getting stronger... Yeah.

Well, although changes in strength and personality will not affect IQ.

On the other side, Sakura looked at Naruto and Sasuke, lowered her eyes, and spoke softly.

"Kakashi-sensei, as a ninja...is bloodline really that important? As an ordinary person..."

"It's not important."

Before Sakura could finish her words, Kakashi answered directly.

"Can……"

"Our Hatake clan doesn't have any special bloodline abilities, but I am also a genius."

Kakashi said speechlessly, as expected, if there are too many geniuses in the team, it will hit ordinary people.

In fact, Sakura's talent is not bad, it is an excellent talent by any means.

It's just that the growth of these two guys, Naruto and Sasuke, is somewhat extraordinary. Although, as a teacher, I have been making progress.

"But I heard that the Hatake clan are also geniuses."

Sakura said, this is the news she heard from her parents. Kakashi-sensei and his family are all geniuses. Although they are not great ninjas, the talents of each generation are extremely terrifying.

"That's true, but if you think so, Sakura, you will never be able to catch up with Sasuke and Naruto in this life."

"Naruto, Sasuke, are you two confident about capturing the captain of the Dark Pirates now?"

Kakashi suddenly said.

Naruto and Sasuke behind them thought Kakashi was crazy when they heard Kakashi's words.

Naruto had a straight face.

"Kakashi-sensei, if we face such a strong person now, we will die."

"I would like to give it a try, but it seems there is no chance of winning."

Sasuke also shook his head. A strong man of Captain Dark's level was not something brats like them could challenge.

If there are any strong people in the ninja world today, Dak is definitely among the best, and his strength is unanimously recognized by everyone.

Just look at that guy Dak's resume.
