"Devil...fruit?"

No. 8 was stunned, and an interested look appeared on his face and stared at the four demon fruits, asking curiously. "Sir, is this a ability similar to the blood-resistance limit?"

"good."

Xia Shu nodded and said, "But what is consumed is not chakra, but physical fitness. In addition, I think these two are suitable for you. If you want to eat them, you can choose it yourself."

"This one is a gray wolf. After eating it, it will have the characteristics of a gray wolf and its strong physical fitness. Moreover, this ability can be developed. When it is developed to a strong enough level, the physical recovery will be quite terrible."

"This one is a black-footed cat. After eating it, you can get the characteristics of a black-footed cat."

Xia Shu took out the two fruits separately and placed them aside, then stood up and waited for No. 8's choice. He understood No. 8's character and knew No. 8 would eat devil fruits.

"hey-hey."

No. 8 grinned and smiled hoarsely. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the 'Gray Wolf Fruit' without hesitation and said. "I'd better give this black-footed cat fruit to No. 5. She is the most suitable person for this fruit. If I take it and she knows it, I'm afraid I'll feel better."

Filed out No. 5.

Even though No. 8's eyes couldn't help but look fearful in their eyes.

"It's up to you." Xia Shu nodded calmly and said. "Eat it and let me see your changes."

"Hehe, OK." No. 8 nodded without hesitation. After pulling away the peel, he bit it down and immediately made a nausea sound. "This smell is really disgusting!"

But immediately afterwards.

No. 8's body trembled slightly.

It seems extremely excited.

"This kind of power...hehe, boss, what you said is indeed good. I feel it, a good power."

The sound fell.

No. 8's body suddenly changed and his body expanded.

The body size became taller and stronger.

The cloak on his body was stretched open, and a wolf head appeared in Xia Shu's sight. The surface of No. 8's body began to appear dark brown and yellow hair.

Sharp fangs and claws, and crazy eyes make people feel trembling.

"Tsk, the increase in the body is indeed good. In terms of my strength, it has been increased by about twice. Good thing hahahaha." No. 8 smiled excitedly.

"Try it." Xia Shu said calmly.

"good."

The sound fell.

The figure of No. 8 suddenly disappeared from the spot, and rushed towards the Xia tree with a phantom. A sound of breaking through the air sounded. It was a sharp claw swept towards the Xia tree without any mercy.

And the attack was still the part of Xia Shu's neck.

Natsuki's eyes were calm, and he raised his right hand and grabbed the attacking claws tightly. Then he raised his feet and kicked it out, hitting No. 8's abdomen.

The powerful power shows no mercy.

But because No. 8's hand was tightly grasped by Natsuki, No. 8 was not kicked away, but his eyes were bulging and a look of pain appeared on his face.

"Hiss...Sir, there is no need to be so cruel, right?" No. 8 said helplessly.

"The speed is good, it is indeed much faster than you before, but you still need to develop as soon as possible." Xia Shu said calmly. "In addition, after training, come and train with me for a while."

"Oh? Are you going to train again? In this case, I think you should call No. 3, which is more suitable for being a sparring training." No. 8 said hurriedly.

At the same time, I couldn't help but grin.

He is a psychopath, but to be honest, from No. 1 to No. 8, there are not many who are mentally normal, and he knows very well that his boss is not a normal person. It's okay, but if he gets injured...

He didn't want the No. 3 meat shield to be able to train with the boss.

If I train with my boss, if I accidentally encounter the boss and get bleeding, then...thinking about the scene, No. 8 will not help but feel fear.

"No. 3 will come, but before No. 3 comes, it will depend on you." Xia Shu said with a smile.

After being watched by Xia Shu's calm eyes, No. 8 subconsciously took a step back, and finally nodded helplessly. "I understand."

"Go down." Xia Shu waved.

No. 8 turned around and left directly. He just got the power of the "Gray Wolf Fruit", so he just wanted to be proficient.

...

at the same time.

Inside the territory of fire.

A hundred miles away from the wood leaves, in a mountain, in a hidden cave.

Orochimaru was waiting here, his pale face looked calm.

After a moment.

tread.

The heavy footsteps sounded.

Orochimaru looked up and his pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed.

In my sight, there was a tall and burly figure, which was probably close to three meters in height.

The figure was wearing a black cloak, and it was bulging behind it, and I didn't know what I was carrying.

As for this burly body, standing there is a strong pressure.

In the hands of this figure, there was a rope tightly held, and behind each rope were there were adults who fainted, both men and women, and all ninjas.

It is obvious that these people were dragged all the way, and some parts of their clothes became tattered.

Orochimaru spitted out the snake nobuko like a snake, looking at the places where some of the hands and feet of the ninjas behind the burly figure were interesting, and said, "What did you do with their hands?"

You can see the palms or wrists of these ninjas.

It seemed like some heavy object had been smashed by it. It was obviously flattened. Even in Orochimaru's eyes, the bones in these places might have been shattered.

"Some disobedient little guys always need to give me some memory," said No. 3. "And, Mr. Orochimaru, you didn't make any requests, right? As long as they are still alive, there is no need to care about such small things."

"Haha, that's right." Orochimaru nodded and asked. "Don't you introduce yourself?"

“No. 3.”

"No. 3?" Orochimaru's snake Nobuko licked his lips, and a burning look flashed deep in his eyes staring at the burly body of No. 3, and asked. "To be honest, I am very moved by you. Have you left Natsuki and followed my men?"

"No interest." No. 3's voice was indifferent, and he answered without any hesitation.

"All right."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru was not surprised at all. He just nodded slightly and took out a scroll and placed it in front of No. 3.

"This is what Natsuki Jun wants."

No. 3 did not go to pick it up, but took out a contract and handed it to Orochimaru and said, "Please sign the contract first, Mr. Orochimaru."

This contract comes from No. 3, not the system.

It is just a regulation that needs to be completed by Xia Shu's subordinates, any transaction requires a contract with the other party.

Orochimaru had traded with Natsuki once or twice. Knowing this, he took the contract and glanced at it, and pressed his handprint.

Then No. 3 took it over, then picked up the reel, threw two ropes on the ground, and turned around and left.

The burly body allows No. 3 to leave a deep footprint on the ground with every step he takes.

Stepping out of the cave, you can see a strong wind blowing, blowing the cloak of No. 3.

Orochimaru clearly saw what was behind No. 3.

That's a...huge metal hammer!

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and his brilliance flashed. "Naki Shujun...I am really interested in you more and more. When I leave Konoha, I will go to find you."

The sound fell.

Two shadow clones of Orochimaru appeared beside Orochimaru, and immediately took these ninjas away, passed through a tunnel deep in the cave, preparing to return to his experimental base in Konoha.

Not long after No. 3 left the cave.

Accompanied by a 'Blublu' voice, No. 3 took out a telephone bug from his arms to answer it, his tone was plain. "Say."

"The boss asked you to go to the Snow Country, he wants to train."

“…”

No. 3 couldn't help but twitch. After a long time of silence, he spoke. "I understand."

"Well, the fifth will go with you."

"Oh." No. 3 nodded, looked up at the front, and said, "She's here."

Then, the phone bug hung up.

Two figures of Konoha Anbu instantly appeared in front of No. 3, and their voices were cold. "The ninjas near Konoha disappeared these days, because of your reasons, right?"
