Long Live The Hokage

On the other side of the wooden bridge, three children slumped on the ground.

The wooden bridge was less than 30 meters long, and the three of them walked for less than half an hour, especially Xiaonan, who was relatively weak, if it wasn't for Masahiko's slight help with gravity, she wouldn't be able to walk across it at all.

"Sure enough, as the rumors say, the paralyzing grass can even affect a jounin." Nagato and Kushina could barely be counted as two jounin.

"Even I will feel it if you touch it head-on. It has to be taken care of." Masahiko directly picked off the paralyzing grass wrapped around the ropes of the wooden bridge one by one with his hands. After getting used to it, touching it again had no effect.

After sealing all the paralyzing grass into the scroll with his own hands, Masahiko walked towards the three children in satisfaction.

"How about it, have you slowed down?" Masahiko smiled, "This time I came out to learn a lot, in case someone uses paralyzing grass to deal with you in the future, you should be mentally prepared."

Nagato and Konan immediately agreed, and Kushina sighed helplessly. Seeing Masahiko put away all the paralyzing herbs, she had some bad premonitions about the future training.

Masahiko looked at their status, squinted his eyes, "Take another ten minutes' rest, it should be almost done, let's continue on our way."

"Teacher, there should be live salamanders in the stream here, don't we catch a few?" Xiao Nan asked suspiciously.

Masahiko's face froze, "The live salamander is really a salamander... I thought it was some herbal medicine. What is the live salamander for?"

"It's for Bingliangwan..."

Masahiko's expression was strange, and he sighed inwardly, "It's a good thing I haven't eaten Bingliang Wan... It's kind of disgusting, Qiu Taoist really can eat anything."

"Since it's a living thing, let's catch it when we come back. Let's go and see the dangerous area marked on this map, the hell swamp... The name is really powerful and domineering."

Xiao Nan hesitated, but she still didn't say that she could be caught to death... She also had a little resistance to things like salamanders.

After resting for more than ten minutes, the three children had recovered for the most part. Although they were still a little stiff, they were able to walk smoothly.

Going forward again for about two kilometers, we came to the "hell swamp" marked on the map.

"It's still a cave?" Masahiko frowned, and walked inside with the three children.

The cave was not too deep, and after walking less than a hundred meters, I saw a swamp in the low-lying place ahead.

"It is said that the swamp mud here is very effective for the trauma caused by the sword, so collect some." Masahiko just finished speaking, and found some blue air columns spraying out in front of him.

"This is..." Masahiko was full of surprise written on his face. It is the first time he has seen such a thing in the world of Naruto for more than a hundred years... Gas!

Masahiko frowned as he hurriedly stopped Nagato and Konan who wanted to go forward.

The toxicity of the gas is not low, even he is not sure that he can inhale a few mouthfuls without being poisoned.

Under normal circumstances, gas should be colorless and odorless. Since it appears blue, it means that the gas is impure and may be more likely to burn or even explode.

Masahiko hesitated for a while, smiled, and told the three children about the characteristics of gas... It's not that he doesn't want to talk more, but he doesn't know much.

"This is the second training task, you guys find a way to collect the swamp mud, be careful!"

After saying this,

Masahiko stepped back a few meters, watching the three children use their brains.

Nagato was the first to make a test, using the technique of multiple shadow clones to go there. Although "the loss was heavy", one of them finally reached the edge of the swamp, and before he had time to be happy, he was "eliminated" by the corrosive power of the swamp.

Masahiko was also stunned for a moment, "This thing is so corrosive, how to make healing medicine, is Hiriza playing me..."

Later, when he thought that it should not be possible, this thing may have to go through some special configuration before it can be used, so he almost couldn't help but add a few points to the medicine.

"No, it's rare to witness..."

After that, the three children found the law of gas spraying again, and Nagato used the shadow clone to test it out. This time it passed successfully, and some swamp mud was collected with the sealing scroll. but……

The ground suddenly shook, and a huge monster suddenly drilled out of the ground, and directly ate Nagato's shadow clone and the sealing scroll.

Masahiko was stunned for a moment, the appearance of the monster was not accidental, after all he had sensed it a long time ago. But the appearance of this monster...

"This is the ancestor of the salamander." Masahiko's mouth twitched.

"Okay, here comes the third training task, to catch the ancestor of the salamander and sell it back to Konoha. This should be able to sell for a good price..."

Masahiko said it easily, but the monster's size is not much worse than Wentai's. The three children were fighting surrounded by gas and swamps, and they had to use the wind to blow away the poisonous gas from time to time.

"This is not possible." Masahiko frowned, and stepped forward, "You don't need to worry about the gas, I will suppress it for you, just beat this big salamander hard!"

This time the three children can finally let go and fight.

Compared with when they went to sea, Nagato and Xiaonan have improved a lot, and in this battle, Kushina was on the side, facing the giant psychic beast with rough skin and thick flesh, he was able to beat it to pieces.

The "ancestor salamander" saw that the situation was not good, so he wanted to drill back into the ground, but he almost burst into tears. Masahiko had already secretly reinforced the ground with earth escape.

"I will fight with you!"

This is the voice Masahiko dubbed for it in his heart, but obviously it doesn't have the backbone.

After agreeing to run away, he never wanted to fight. After resisting a few ninjutsu, he headed out of the cave, but was kicked back by Masahiko.

Ten minutes later, in this suffocating battle, it finally surrendered its own life...

As soon as the three children breathed a sigh of relief, Masahiko said, "Hurry up and collect some swamp mud, this cave will collapse in two minutes!"

For such a large-scale battle, this place is not as strong as Longdi Cave, it has long been crumbling, and now Masahiko is holding it up with repulsion.

Just after collecting the swamp mud, I watched the cave collapse bit by bit from the inside out.

"Run!" Masahiko shouted and disappeared.

The three children were taken aback for a moment, and quickly ran out of the cave.

Just like a warehouse explosion in a blockbuster movie about gangsters, the three "protagonists" often just ran through a place, and the whole body collapsed behind them. Finally, the three of them flew out of the cave, and the cave disappeared completely. Disgraced.

Masahiko walked up to the three people who were still lying on the ground with a smile, dragging the giant newt that he didn't know when.

"You did a good job. This trip has ended perfectly."

Jiu Xinnai's face was covered with dust, and he raised his head through gritted teeth, "Grandpa, I just want to know... how the cave collapsed layer by layer."

Masahiko snickered, "Well, this question... Let me go back and look up geological books, I don't know too much."

"Eh? Doesn't the teacher know?"

"Boom!"

Nagato's surprised sound came, and Kushina hit the head hard...
