Chapter 69 That bridge was a symbol of courage

  That night, Naruto and the others continued their training until midnight before stopping. Maito Gai also returned to the place where he was building a bridge in Takigakure, responsible for protecting Tsunade-sama's safety.

  "Hmm, the bridge-building skills in this world don't seem to be that advanced. If a tsunami were to hit, I estimate it wouldn't last a day. Wait, tsunami? Ah, right! How could I have forgotten...?" Meng Ling suddenly thought of a possibility. In "One Piece", as one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard's Devil Fruit was called the Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor-Tremor Fruit), which had the ability to create earthquakes and tsunamis, possessing the power to destroy the world. Meng Ling suddenly recalled that when he was on Earth, he heard a hypothesis that if there was a way to exceed the speed of light, it might be possible to break through space-time and traverse dimensions.

  However, Mugiwara thought that even if it were possible, at the very least a speed of about twice that of light would be needed to achieve it. But merely breaking through space was not enough; Mugiwara believed that with the speed of the Flash Fruit's light and his own auxiliary "Tenryoku Jūjin", he should be able to break through space.

  "What's more, it seems that the fruit of Shaking is just the maximization of the effect of 'True Empty Wave'." Meng Ling muttered to herself.

  On Earth, Meng Ling had seen some explanations of the Devil Fruits in "One Piece", including an explanation of the Gura Gura no Mi's abilities. "'True Empty Wave' power maximization, enough to reach the level of breaking through space." This was the nickname for the Gura Gura no Mi. "So, I just need to use the 'Spatial Vibration' skill brought by the Elemental Fruit, and I can 100% use the Gura Gura no Mi's abilities." Meng Ling was very happy in her heart, after all, this meant that she had gained another lifesaving skill.

  "But its power is too great, so it's better to use it sparingly. After all, it's a force that can destroy the world."

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  The next morning, Meng Ling brought the already cultivated Xiao Ying and Dakina to the newly built bridge, responsible for protecting Dakina's safety.

  "You guys seem pretty idle today. Where did that blond kid and the cool kid go?" asked Dacianna while working.

  "They're still practicing tree climbing," Sakura replied.

  "Don't you need to cultivate?" Dakina continued to ask

  "Because I'm excellent, Kakashi-sensei had me and Mei Ling come to protect you." Said Sakura with a proud tone.

  "Oh? Really?" Dakina asked with a skeptical tone, leaving Sakura bewildered.

  "If we all go to cultivate, who will protect you, Master Dakina?" Meng also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off and hastily said.

  "Hmm, well then, I'll go to work first. You all just relax," said Dacianna.

  "Uh-huh, got it!" Meng Ling replied faintly and continued her own thoughts. But just at this moment...

  "Excuse me, may I interrupt? Mr. Dacienna, I need to speak with you." Meng looked up in confusion and saw an old man about the same age as Mr. Dacienna approaching him, calling out to Mr. Dacienna who was still working.

  "Kiki, what brings you here?" Dajiana asked, putting down her work.

  "Uh, that... I've thought about it for a long time... I think, regarding the bridge construction, can I quit?" said the old man named Kichi with hesitation.

  "What... what? How can this be so sudden? Are you also going to quit?" Dakina asked in surprise.

  "Dazina, we've been friends for a long time, and I want to help you, but if things keep going like this, even we'll be targeted by Cardo! And what if you get killed? That would be too much of a loss... Why don't we just stop here? The bridge thing is the same." Kichi said hesitantly.

  "This one won't do, this bridge is our bridge, this bridge believes it can bring material flow and transportation to this extremely poor country of Bosnia. The people in the town built a bridge over the river."

  "But if it means losing my life..."

  "It's already noon, let's stop here for today... Kichi, you don't have to come tomorrow." Before Kichi could say anything else, Takina cut him off. Then Sakura and Mirai left with Mr. Takina, next they would escort Mr. Takina home, after that they needed to go to the market to procure some supplies.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  After leaving the big bridge, Xiao Ying also took out her own package from Daci's home and prepared to go to the market with Daci. After all, Daci was still the task object of Mengying and others at present.

  "It should be tomorrow, if not, it's probably almost the same. With his personality, if he is defeated by me, he must be very unwilling in his heart, and 99% will come here to assassinate Daci Na." Dreaming back to what she just saw, Dreaming also had some thoughts in her mind.

  "Ah, Meng Leng..." Just then, a small Sakura beside him pulled on Meng Leng's clothes.

  "What's wrong?" Meng Ling turned around and asked.

  "Hey, why is Mugen's strength so powerful now? Did he receive some special training when he was younger? I think even if Mugen's Blood Limit is that strong, it's impossible for him to defeat a Jonin at his current age." Sakura asked anxiously.

  "What's with the sudden question?" Meng Ling asked in surprise.

  "That's because, during the last survival training, Sasuke-kun told me that he is an avenger, so I hope to have even stronger power, at least, I don't want to hold Sasuke-kun back." Sakura said hesitantly.

  "Is that so? Then you'd better work hard, my strength didn't come easily either. I started going on high-ranking missions with Kakashi-sensei when I was around five years old, and it was really dangerous back then. Let me tell you a secret: the best way to quickly improve your strength is to keep experiencing real battles. As long as you have many experiences of actual combat, even if your own strength isn't above that of your enemy, you can still beat them through experience. Of course, if the gap is too big, then battle experience won't be of any use either. So, you can't slack off on your own training." Mei said calmly.

  "What? Mei Ling was on a mission with Kakashi-sensei when she was just five years old?! That's amazing!" Sakura said enviously.

  "Hehe, this isn't a big deal after all. Do you guys still remember the survival training from a few days ago?" Meng Ling asked.

  "Hmm, I remember, what's up?" Sakura asked.

  "At that time, Kakashi-sensei might not have been as strong as he is now, but back then I had a one-on-one battle with him. Speaking of which, at that time Kakashi-sensei seemed to...". Up until this point, Mei Terumi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. That time, Kakashi used the Tsukuyomi technique and entered his own mind, recalling things he never wanted to remember again. At that time, I also went on a rampage, and for the first time, I used the Great Flame Emperor - Enma. After this, although I had many battles, Mei Terumi seemed to have stopped using the special moves of the Elemental Fruits (including the Great Flame Emperor - Enma from the Bakebake no Mi, and the True Thunder God from the Guraigura no Mi)."

  At this time, Meng Ling and the other two had also arrived at the market, but when they saw the scene inside the market, Meng Ling and Xiao Ying were still a little surprised.

  "It's here." At this time, Daci and the two behind her, Mengling and Xiaoying, said a sentence and took the two into a small shop. However, when Mengling looked around, she only saw some green vegetables on the counters, but no meat at all.

  "When it comes to this, then......" Meng Ling saw a middle-aged man wearing a duck tongue hat walking in, and immediately knew that something was going to happen, so he quickly walked away.

  "Ah, pervert!"

  "Boom......" Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man was just a little thief, who was about to snatch the package from Xiaoying's body, but was kicked flying by Xiaoying, thinking he was being indecent.

  "You're too sharp, aren't you, Sakura? Sasuke-kun doesn't like girls who are so rough around the edges." Mei Ling teased.

  "...this..." Upon hearing this, Sakura also stood there in a daze.

  "You really gave me a big fright just now." Dacianna said immediately after coming out.

  "What's going on in this town?" However, just as Xiaoling was somewhat dissatisfied, another discordant scene appeared before Meng's eyes.

  This time, Sakura was indeed 'molested' a little. However, the object was just a small child who wasn't very big.

  "Give me something." The little kid, seeing that Sakura had noticed him, immediately stretched out his small hands and said with a smile. Sakura also kindly gave some candies.

  "Ever since Kado arrived, this place has become like this. The grown-ups here have become more and more timid. So now, we really need that bridge, it's a symbol of courage. To make the people in this country who have been enduring hardships find their courage to face reality again! If that bridge is built, the town can go back to how it used to be. Everyone will be like they were before." Dachina clenched her fists and said firmly.

  "Don't worry, Mr. Dakina, the symbol of courage will definitely be taken back by you personally. I guarantee it." Meng Ling said with a smile as she came to Dakina's side.

  "Yes, this time I will work even harder." Sakura said with indignation.
