Chapter 5: The Fourth Hokage

  "Where? Where?" Xiaomeng Ling looked around on the top of the mountain, but couldn't find Uchiha Danzo and the Fourth Hokage's figures anywhere.

  "It seems that the Space Ninjas are indeed troublesome characters, I couldn't even see their existence. Hmm, I'll have to study space ninjutsu properly when I have time." Mengl thought on top of the mountain.

  "Boom......" Another massive explosion, Meng Ling clearly felt the ground beneath her feet trembling non-stop. Moreover, the cracked ground also began to spread towards her gradually.

  "It's not safe here, I must leave immediately." At this moment, Meng Ling also didn't have time to think much, and immediately jumped down from the top of the mountain.

  At this time, Meng Ling, although she hadn't undergone training in tree climbing and water walking (PS: after all, she's still young), but she had another guarantee that allowed her to maintain absolute action safety anywhere except in seawater. That is...

  The Natural-type Devil Fruit granted her the ability to control elements.

  This devil fruit is called the 'Elemental Fruit' (PS: This is a kind of fruit that I thought up myself, and it has not appeared in One Piece yet). After eating this 'Elemental Fruit', Dreaming is now an elemental manipulator who can control all chemical elements between heaven and earth. Of course, he himself can also transform into any element.

  However, as the Dragon God said at the beginning, in this world, only Xiaomeng Ling who crossed over from another world can know how to use the power of this fruit. The reason is very simple:

  In this world of Ninja, there is no periodic table of elements, so the people in this world do not know what kind of element will be produced by combining two or even multiple elements!

  For example, would anyone in the Naruto world know that one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms can become a water element? Would anyone in the Naruto world know that colliding positive and negative charges will produce lightning?

  The answer is certainly yes.

  Compared to this, the Devil Fruit also has a disadvantage that can be considered an advantage. Everyone knows that in "One Piece", when ability users fall into the ocean, they will lose all their strength but won't lose the power of the Devil Fruit. However, Mera is completely opposite - she won't lose her physical strength, but rather loses the power of the Devil Fruit. Originally this wasn't a problem, but...

  Meng Ling was a standard 'desert duck' in his previous life, and even without the devil fruit's side effects, Meng Ling was still a desert duck.

  After all, in her previous life, Meng was very short of money, so she had never learned to swim, and she also had some mild 'aquaphobia'.

  "Bang......" The Dreaming Ling, who had just transformed his body and clothes into fire elements in the previous moment, successfully dodged the Nine-Tailed Fox's 'accidental attack'.

  "Phew... that was close." Dreaming Leng, who had just landed, turned around and immediately discovered that the place where she had just been had completely turned to ashes, no longer existing.

  "It seems that the Nine-Tailed Fox's Void Cannon isn't a chemical element formed between heaven and earth after all, or else I wouldn't have felt such an intense sense of danger just now." Indeed, as Meng Leng guessed at this moment, including the Nine-Tailed Fox, all nine great tailed beasts were collections of evil energy from between heaven and earth that split off from 'Ten Tails', so they didn't belong to the category of elements.

  "Hmmph..." It has to be said, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's strength is truly something that makes the current Meng Wang take a step back. However, she herself was also secretly suffering, after all, even with the power boost from the Devil Fruit, she was still someone who had never experienced a 'true' life-or-death battle, and could be said to be a top-notch rookie.

  "Now, being a genin in Konohagakure is already a joke, if I don't become a high-ranking ninja, with my abilities relying on the Devil Fruit, it's basically a laughing stock." Meng Ling had a good habit since long ago, that was to recognize her own shortcomings, she wouldn't care about the fact that most of the students in the Ninja Academy were just kids, nor would she care about the differences between genders. She knew her weaknesses and would immediately take remedial measures, this was also the experience she gained from surviving alone in her previous world. Now, seeing the Nine-Tails' incredible strength, Meng Ling once again realized one of her extremely dangerous shortcomings - arrogance."

  After all, in that world of the past, Meng Ling was killed by that strong man because of his own arrogance and failure to guard against him.

  "I need to think of a way to bypass the Nine-Tailed Fox and enter Konohagakure." Meng Ling swiftly darted through the trees on the outskirts of Konoha.

  "Wow..." Just as Meng Leng was deep in thought, a baby's cry suddenly broke into his train of thought.

  "How can there be a baby here?" Meng Ling rushed to the place where the sound came from. Although Meng Ling didn't have the great virtue of sacrificing herself for others, she wouldn't hesitate to help those within her power.

  After jumping over several big trees, Meng Ling finally found a baby hanging from the branches of a tree, crying loudly.

  "This, this isn't..." Meng Ling didn't say another word and immediately picked up the infant still hanging from the tree branch. However, when she looked at the infant's appearance in her arms, her heart couldn't help but tremble.

  The golden inch-long hair doesn't represent anything, but the three pairs of very clear cat whiskers on his cheeks are a characteristic that only one person has in the Fire Shadow.

  Whirlpool Whistler?

  Kyuubi Jinchuriki?

  The protagonist of the future?

  Well, well, this irresponsible guy, it turns out that he casually abandoned our little Naruto here. No wonder in the legend of the Fourth Hokage, he found Uzumaki Naruto in the forest. Now I completely understand.

  "Hehe, Naruto is really cute at this time... but..." Meng Ling was still in her fantasy, but she inadvertently thought of Naruto's appearance in the first part and couldn't help but feel a chill.

  "Never mind, let's talk about this later. It's more important to bring him back to Konoha Village first. Hopefully, I won't be discovered by Uchiha Madara." After shaking off the chill, Mugen finally escaped from the evil aura and immediately left with Naruto.

  "Oh no, oh no, sorry about that, I just dropped something." But contrary to her wishes, Meng Ling had just climbed onto another big tree, and right in front of her appeared a man wearing a spiral mask. At this time, he was scratching his messy hair with all his might.

  That tone of voice, those ridiculous movements, and to top it off, that spiral mask unique to a certain someone... Who else could this sudden appearance be but Uchiha Madara?

  "Found out again?" Seeing the person she least wanted to see right now, Meng Leng's hands tightly hugged the blanket wrapped around Xiao Mingren, ready to make a run for it.

  "Hmm, hmm, no need to make that face, little girl. I'm not going to eat you. Kids should listen to adults." Uchiha Danzo said with a smile.

  "I'm listening? If I listen, then I'm an idiot." Meng Ling thought to herself, her left hand already forming the hand seal for Instant Movement.

  "Hmm? So the little girl is a ninja, and she can already use the substitution technique at this age? Not bad, not bad." Uchiha Madara said with a light clap of his hands.

  "Is that... Uchiha Madara?"

  Hearing is not as good as seeing, Meng Ling now finally knows why Uchiha Sasuke has the title of 'old slick' in the world of Naruto.

  "I wonder how long my still imperfect teleportation technique and Devil Fruit abilities can withstand Uchiha Madara's hands."

  Nowadays, Meng Ling has completely eliminated the idea of escaping. She clearly knows that the Uchiha Dan in front of her is known as the ultimate BOSS of the Fire Shadow, and his mastery of spatial ninjutsu is even higher than that of the Fourth Hokage, the "Golden Flash" of Konoha. It's impossible to escape from someone like him, she can tell just by thinking about it with her toes.

  "How about it, little girl? I think you're not a ninja from Konohagakure either. Why don't you consider joining my organization? That way, I can teach you many powerful ninjutsu!" Uchiha Madara tempted.

  "Is he tempting me? Has he discovered the unusual part of my body? His eyes are quite good, but I won't collude with this old monster. It's just right, I can delay for a while." Dreaming thought to herself.

  "Oh? Is everything you said true?" Meng Ling put on a look of yearning. What a joke, our main character used to be a salesman, how could he not know how to control people's minds?

  "Of course, of course, if you hand that child over to me, I'll teach you a jutsu, how about it?" Uchiha Madara continued to tempt.

  "Can you teach me that flashing ninja technique from just now?" Meng Ling continued to act cute.

  "Hmm, you've got a good eye for this, little girl. If you join my organization, I'll make sure to teach you well." At this point, Uchiha Madara's demeanor changed completely, and although his face was hidden behind a mask, his roughened tone made it clear that he had become serious.

  As for the reason, it's because two more figures appeared beside Meng Leng.

  What's the collection?

  Fourth Hokage?

  "Who are you, anyway? Was the Nine-Tails' rampage your doing?" The speaker was Konoha's Gold Flash - Minato Namikaze.

  "Ah, looks like two big shots have arrived. What's this? The Fourth Hokage and Danzo of the Hidden Leaf's Root division. Don't you care about the Nine-Tails' rampage?" Uchiha Madara said with a hushing gesture.

  "Fourth generation, is this little girl from our village?" said Tansō.

  "I don't know." At this time, our Fourth Hokage had already fully sensed the enemy's strength and simply replied with a sentence.

  "Then kill her." Tuan Cang's tone was very cold. His left hand also raised a Su Wu. The target was Meng Ling's back heart.

  "What...?!" At this time, Meng Leng was startled by this sudden movement of being hugged by Tuan.
