Suddenly, Professor Xue seemed to spot something within the ruins.
He quickly ran forward and picked up a strange-looking leather bag.
Inside the bag were stacks of classified documents, densely packed with text and coded markings.
Professor Xue picked up one of the files.
At first, he simply skimmed through it—
But the moment he read the contents clearly, his entire expression changed.
Rage instantly surged across his face.
Just as he was about to return to Ning Feng and report what he had discovered—
A streak of blinding light suddenly shot forward at incredible speed, rushing directly toward Professor Xue.
It was clearly trying to capture him as a hostage.
Unfortunately for the attacker—
Before the figure could even get close, Ning Feng appeared in front of the light like a ghost.
In his hand, a Taiji Rasengan had already formed.
He slammed it down without hesitation.
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted.
The enormous Taiji Rasengan carried terrifying destructive force, instantly shattering the attacker's armor into countless fragments.
Only then did Ning Feng realize—
The attacker had been using Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
However, even with that technique, he stood no chance against Ning Feng's Rasengan.
The attacker could only watch helplessly as the overwhelming power consumed him.
His body exploded into fragments, scattering like dust in the air.
It was as if he had never existed at all.
Boom!
Another thunderous blast echoed through the ruins.
Under the shocked gaze of everyone nearby, the attacker disappeared completely, dissolving into a cloud of blood mist.
Only after the attacker was destroyed did Professor Xue finally realize what had just happened.
Someone had tried to take him hostage.
If Ning Feng hadn't acted—
He would have already fallen into the hands of those black market criminals.
His fate would have been uncertain.
"That man… he's the same young guy from earlier!"
Professor Xue said with lingering fear.
"I didn't expect him to still be alive… and he almost managed to kidnap me!"
Meanwhile, the three-year-old Fū—who had been clutching Ning Feng's sleeve the entire time—looked at the dead man's remains.
Her face instantly turned pale.
Then she began to retch violently.
Although Fū had grown up in the Naruto world and had seen plenty of battles—
This was the first time someone had died so brutally right in front of her.
After vomiting for a while, she seemed to remember something.
She grabbed Ning Feng's sleeve again with both hands.
Her large blue eyes looked up at him.
There was curiosity in them—
But also fear.
Even though she was only three years old, she could still sense one thing clearly.
Who was truly protecting her.
"I can't believe the new Seven-Tails Jinchūriki is only three years old…"
Professor Xue said angrily.
"And those black market criminals actually dared to target her!"
If they hadn't arrived today—
Fū's life would have been completely ruined.
"Hmph."
"For people obsessed with power, there's nothing they wouldn't do."
Ning Feng's eyes flickered coldly.
In the original Naruto story, Fū had always been considered one of the weakest Jinchūriki.
Even near the end of her life, she was still only at the level of a Genin.
She never truly displayed the terrifying power of a Tailed Beast.
Thinking about it carefully—
The reason Takigakure even obtained a Tailed Beast in the first place was rather ironic.
Back when the Tailed Beasts were distributed among the ninja villages, Takigakure had claimed credit for attacking Hashirama.
In reality, Kakuzu had merely thrown a kunai at Hashirama from eight thousand meters away before fleeing.
Yet the village exaggerated the story as a great achievement.
And that was how they ended up receiving the Seven-Tails.
In other villages, Jinchūriki were terrifying warriors.
But in Takigakure—
The Jinchūriki ended up as nothing more than a weak Genin.
However, in Ning Feng's eyes, things were different.
With proper training, a Seven-Tails Jinchūriki like Fū could easily become a powerful assistant.
Someone comparable to Deidara in combat ability.
Of course, Ning Feng had also considered taking the Seven-Tails for himself.
But since he already possessed the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, the Seven-Tails didn't offer much additional benefit.
However—
If he ever gathered all nine Tailed Beasts, then the Seven-Tails would naturally be reclaimed.
In simple terms—
For now, Ning Feng was simply letting Fū temporarily hold it.
"B-brother… Fū is scared…"
While Ning Feng was thinking, the little girl tightened her grip on his sleeve again.
Her fearful eyes were trembling.
After comforting her for a long time, Fū finally relaxed slightly.
Then—
The little girl simply leaned against Ning Feng's chest.
And quietly fell asleep.
"This little girl seems to have completely attached herself to you," Professor Xue joked lightly.
But his expression quickly turned serious again.
He handed the classified documents he had found to Ning Feng.
At first glance, Ning Feng's expression changed dramatically.
His eyes instantly burned with fury.
The documents revealed a shocking truth.
They belonged to an American organization called Iron Hand.
One of their team leaders had learned that a Tailed Beast would appear here and rushed over overnight.
They had even prepared a detailed plan called—
The Tailed Beast Rampage Plan.
Their plan was simple.
After purchasing Fū and obtaining the Seven-Tails—
They would assassinate her immediately.
The death of the Jinchūriki would cause the Seven-Tails to go berserk.
Once the Tailed Beast lost control, it would trigger chaos across the entire city.
Meanwhile, multiple teams hidden nearby would launch coordinated attacks.
Within a short time, they planned to seize control of the entire city.
According to their projections—
At least tens of millions of Chinese civilians could die during the chaos.
What they never expected was this—
Before they could even begin their plan—
Ning Feng had already destroyed everything.
Not only had he crushed the black market in an instant—
He had also taken the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki under his protection.
"This Iron Hand organization really shot themselves in the foot," Professor Xue sneered.
Then a chill ran down his spine.
If he hadn't brought Ning Feng here today—
This entire city might have faced a catastrophic disaster.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ning Feng noticed something else in the documents.
To carry out this operation, the Iron Hand organization had secretly deployed thousands of personnel beneath the black market.
Not only that—
They had also stockpiled massive quantities of ninja tools, ninjutsu scrolls, puppets, and equipment.
Practically anything one could imagine.
A thought flashed through Ning Feng's mind.
Without hesitation, he condensed another Taiji Rasengan and hurled it toward the ruins of the underground black market.
Boom!
A shocking scene appeared.
The massive crater revealed countless corpses of American operatives buried beneath the rubble.
They were clearly members of the Iron Hand organization.
Before they could even act—
They had already been crushed into pulp beneath Ning Feng's Susanoo.
Beside the bodies was a storage chamber the size of a small room.
Inside it—
Mountains of ninjutsu scrolls, ninja tools, puppets, and weapons were stacked together.
Ning Feng's eyes widened.
"We… we just struck it rich."
The Iron Hand operatives had probably never imagined this outcome.
They had traveled across the world to China, preparing an elaborate operation.
Yet before they could even begin—
They were crushed to death by Ning Feng's Susanoo.
And all the expensive resources they had prepared…
Had now become Ning Feng's personal loot.
It was like delivering supplies straight into his hands.
