Chapter 224: Splitting into Two Paths (Ch 224)

Rubbing his butt, Peacock began his analysis.

“I also participated in part of the design of this Iron Castle. In Brother Baogui’s original idea, this castle itself is a mobile war fortress. The technology of the air ninjas was also integrated into it.”

After taking a deep breath, Peacock continued: “If I’m not mistaken, then the city under our feet will probably be lifted into the air soon.”

“Yes, that’s right!”

A gleam of light also flashed in Xinnong’s eyes.

“The reason why Baogui covets the Zero Tail so much is that he wants to use it as a source of energy for the flying fortress. He wants to use the chakra of the Zero Tail to make the Iron Castle fly!”

Naruto stroked his chin, “Which means that Zero-Tail is still in the castle.”

Peacock nodded: “However, even with the help of Zero Tail, only a small part of the entire Iron Castle City can fly.” As she spoke, her face changed and she suddenly became anxious.

“We must evacuate the people around the castle immediately. Once the fortress is launched into the air, the remaining part of the city will be reduced to ruins! Those who remain in the city will be buried along with the city.”

“ah!”

Amaru screamed, obviously thinking of this result.

“What should we do, Sensei! The Sky Ninjas don’t know this at all! No, I have to go tell them!”

“Wait a minute, Amaru!”

Xin Nong gritted his teeth and called out to his disciple.

“Everyone’s safety is important, but Zero Tail’s matter is more important!”

“teacher!”

Amaru looked at Xinnong in disbelief. She began to suspect that this teacher was also someone else in disguise.

“So, I’ll go inform everyone and you continue to stay here.”

“Ah…I don’t!”

How could Amaru not understand that the teacher asked her to stay with Naruto and the others for her own safety. It would be even more dangerous for her to go alone to persuade the air ninja. So, she refused without thinking.

“You kid!”

Xin Nong cursed, but his eyes were full of relief. Although he made the wrong friends, he did not teach the wrong disciples.

“Okay, stop arguing.”

Hongdou made a decision at this time, and she said with a firm look in her eyes: “I will go with you two.”

“ah?”

Naruto looked at Hongdou in surprise. He didn’t expect that at the most critical moment, Hongdou, who wanted to be in the limelight the most, would take a step back. Hongdou gave Naruto a helpless look: “After all, I am the person in charge of this mission. I’d better leave this risk to myself.”

“Naruto, you and Sasuke go bring me the Takura and the Zero-Tails!”

“No, I’m enough on my own.” Naruto also became serious, “Sasuke, go help teacher Anko. It’s still too much of a stretch to evacuate so many air ninjas and craftsmen with just the three of you.”

Anko nodded, “Okay, that’s it. Sasuke, you follow me, Tayuya, you go help Naruto. Peacock, you lead the way for the two of them.”

After looking at Anko worriedly, Peacock nodded.

“good.”

She actually wanted to evacuate her compatriots, but as the only one who knew the structure of the fortress, she could only entrust her compatriots to Hongdou. Hongdou also understood this very well.

“Really? This is so troublesome! Go away, don’t waste my time!”

After that, Hongdou led the others away in a hurry. Naruto and Tayuya made some preparations, then carried Peacock on their backs and quickly headed to the main castle of Iron Castle.

“Look there!”

On Naruto’s back, Peacock listened to the sound of the wind blowing past his ears, squinted his eyes and pointed at the chimney that was smoking.

“That’s the cooling chimney of the flying fortress. The fortress has begun to warm up. We’ll go in from the building next to it.”

“Okay, then hold on tight, I’m going to speed up.”

After saying that, Naruto’s speed increased again. Peacock quickly closed his eyes, fearing that he would be blown off.

“Rasengan!”

After breaking into the building, Naruto saw many fully armed soldiers from the Land of Craftsmen. However, Naruto ignored them and rushed forward on his own. Behind him, invisible ghosts flew towards the soldiers accompanied by the sound of flutes.

“Magic Flute: Fantasy Dance.”

When the song ended, all the soldiers lay down. After dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers, Tayuya caught up with Naruto again.

“Thanks, your ninjutsu is more suitable for dealing with this situation than mine. Those soldiers are wearing special ninja tools, and it is quite difficult to deal with them.” Naruto said this to Tayuya who caught up with him while running.

“Forget the compliments. I know your strength very well.” Tayuya said coldly. Hearing her say that, Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment.

“Sorry, I just wanted to…”

“Alright.” Tayuya interrupted Naruto and sighed, “He’s a strong man, but he has the temper of a good guy.”

“Well, there are many kinds of strong people.”

“Yeah.” Tayuya responded softly, and added in her mind: “So, you are special.”

“Turn right ahead.”

“good!”

Following Peacock’s instructions, Naruto kept approaching the Zero-Tail’s location. The biggest evidence was that they encountered more and more guards, and their strength was getting stronger. However, these guards still did not cause much trouble to Naruto and his team.

“That’s it!”

The appearance of Longyan in front of him made Naruto stop for the first time. Peacock behind him said in disbelief: “Longyan, you want to stop us? Brother Baogui is crazy, are you crazy too?”

“I guess so.”

Longyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, then his expression became firm again.

“I told you, Peacock, I won’t help you anymore.”

After saying that, he drew out the two swords at his waist and threw one of them to Peacock. Peacock took the sword silently and whispered to Naruto: “You should leave first, Zero Tail is just ahead.”

“good.”

Naruto nodded. He knew that this was an internal matter of the Land of Craftsmen and Peacock had to end it himself.

After bypassing the Dragon Eye, Naruto and Tayuya broke through the wall at the end of the corridor and entered the power room of the fortress. Here, countless pipes were connected to the light egg on the central platform. The Zero Tail egg that we had just seen not long ago was now continuously outputting chakra.

“It’s wonderful.”

The fully armed Baogui appeared in front of the two as the voice was spoken.

“Don’t you realize what a beautiful picture this is?”

“Okay, stop adding drama.”

Naruto stretched out his little finger and scratched his ear, and said to Baogui contemptuously: “How do you want to die?”

“Oh yeah, I almost forgot, you’re a ninja from Konoha.” Baogui said to himself, “Do you know what I dislike most about the ninjas from the five major ninja villages? It’s this self-righteous attitude!”

As Baogui finished his roar, the room suddenly trembled. Then, countless pipes opened and injected the collected chakra into Baogui’s body. At this moment, the specially made armor and ninja tools on his body also erupted with a strong storm.

“Tsk!” Naruto covered his eyes with his arms and looked in the direction of the treasure turtle speechlessly.

“What a hassle.”
