Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Orochimaru quickly sent over the Wood Release data, but Orochimaru said it would take some time to get the three-magatama Sharingan.

Qingye was not in a hurry and told the other party that he could give them some time.

Yumi's Wood Release learning needs to move on to the next step. But there is still the same problem, Konoha is not suitable for practicing Wood Release. Especially those large-scale Wood Release Ninjutsu. Once performed, I am afraid that Konoha will be razed to the ground.

Qingye knew that he had to go out of the village. Normally, he could take a mission out of the village, but not this time.

Because he had to take Yumi with him, he needed to find another excuse.

"Let's just say we want to go back to the ruins of the Whirlpool Clan. I just happen to want to go back as well." Yumi thought of an impeccable reason. Aoba also reported it shortly afterwards.

After learning that Karin would continue to stay in the village to go to school, Konoha quickly approved Aoba's application and gave him a month-long vacation.

Aoba was able to leave Konoha Village with Yumi.

Because they wanted to practice Wood Release, the two of them did not take the main road, but specifically walked through the deep mountains and forests.

Although it was a peaceful time, there were still numerous bandits and vagrant ninjas along the way.

Aoba did not take any action, leaving all of these to Yumi to practice.

At the beginning, Yumei used the Tree Realm Descend to wipe out a group of bandits. However, as she practiced along the way, she also began to master some basic combat experience.

And through the actual combat along the way, she also thoroughly understood what kind of power she possessed. Yumi, who carried a blood feud, killed those bandits without mercy.

In less than ten days since he left the house, he had already claimed hundreds of lives.

From the perspective of mentality and basic attributes alone, she is already a successful ninja. However, she still lacks a lot in skills and experience. This requires her to participate in more advanced duels to be able to train it bit by bit.

On this day, the two passed by a small village and wanted to replenish some food or something.

But after entering, Qingye smelled a strong smell of blood. When he got closer, he found that there was no living person in the whole village.

Not only that, all the bodies in the village were piled together, with a large amount of blood crisscrossing the ground.

Moreover, the bodies were covered with wounds, as if they had been tortured cruelly before death. The whole scene seemed to be a scene of some bloody cult ritual.

"This is..." Yumi was also shocked by the scene in front of her.

"It should be some kind of cult. An evil god sect or something like that. They like to kill innocent people to please the gods they believe in."

"Is there really such a god?" Yumi couldn't believe that someone would believe in such a god.

"I really want to say no. But in fact, it seems that there really is such an evil god."

Aoba drew the Kusanagi sword from his back while inspecting the scene. He had already guessed who the murderer was.

In fact, this guy is an extremely important part of Qingye's plan. Qingye has been secretly trying to find out about him for a long time. But this guy's whereabouts are erratic. Qingye doesn't have much intelligence network outside, so he has not gained anything.

I didn't expect that the flowers I planted with care would not bloom, but the willows I planted by accident would grow into shade trees. This time, when I accompanied Yumi out for training, I actually met the guy I had been pursuing for a long time.

The Kusanagi sword in Aoba's hand was wrapped in a whirlwind. Then, with a swing of the sword, a tornado tore a nearby house into pieces.

A screaming figure jumped out. He held a huge March sickle in his hand. He ignored the wounds from being cut by the wind blade and rushed directly towards Qingye.

But after running a few steps, the entire ground began to churn. Countless trees surged up and surrounded him directly.

The person who came was naturally Feidan. This guy was also a very unique existence in the plot. As a believer of the evil god, even a god-chosen existence. This guy's ability was weird and unsolvable.

If you don't know his intelligence in advance, even the most powerful masters may fall into his hands.

In addition, in the plot, although Feidan has never used ninjutsu, he has chakra on his body. And he can climb trees and walk on water like a ninja. It's just that he can't or is unwilling to use ninjutsu.

The March sickle is considered a relatively heavy weapon in the ninja world. It is enough to show that this guy is quite strong, and his physical skills are at the level of a jonin.

Swinging the March sickle in his hand, Feiduan cut off the branches in front of him and tried to rush out. But the next second, more vines and roots entangled him from all directions.

At the same time, several branches pierced his body like spears.

It's a pity that a ninja like him who is good at physical training is basically helpless when facing Yumi's large-scale wood escape ninjutsu.

The reason why it was so difficult for Kakashi to fight him and Kakuzu was because Kakashi lacked mana and could not use this kind of large-scale ninjutsu covering attack.

Yumi doesn't have this problem. She even often worries about having too much chakra and the wide range of her ninjutsu.

Facing the sudden attack from Hidan, he was so excited that he used Wood Release to directly cover the entire village. Hidan tried his best but couldn't run a few dozen meters before he was impaled on a tree branch.

Upon seeing this, Aoba immediately stepped forward and cut off Feiduan's limbs, and then his head, completely dismembering the guy.

Even after it became like this, Feidan was still roaring crazily on the ground.

What they said was that they had blasphemed the Evil God, so they should be captured, tortured and killed, and offered to the Evil God for his pleasure.

Qingye would not tolerate this guy. He directly pierced his jaw with a kunai, completely nailing his mouth and tongue shut.

"Why doesn't this guy die?" This was the first time Yumi had seen such an immortal monster. Her face looked a little grim.

"This guy is a believer of some evil god. He is endowed with immortality. Conventional means are almost impossible to kill him. Yumi, this is just the beginning. There are so many strange guys in the ninja world. You will meet even stranger guys in the future."

"......" Yumi curled her lips, indicating that she was not very interested.

After burying the villagers who died tragically, the two men left the village.

But not long after they left, a group of paper airplanes suddenly flew across the sky, landed on the ground, and turned into the image of a girl with a cold face.

She looked around and saw the tombstone erected for the village. Standing in front of the tombstone, Xiaonan was silent for a while, then turned and left.

"Hidan is missing. According to the traces at the scene, he must have been taken away by someone."

"Do you know who he is?"

"I don't know."

"Forget it then, let Kakuzu find new teammates himself."
