"Hey, I said, Drake...!"
Gajeel looked at Drake's unhappy expression and opened his mouth a little timidly, but immediately closed his mouth after seeing Drake's eyes.
Drake was indeed very unhappy now, and it was all because of this group of trash fish in front of him.
Although Zabuza and Haku had left, Gato obviously couldn't give up on stopping the bridge from being built. So he quickly gathered a large number of subordinates to kill Tazuna and forcibly demolish the bridge.
When Madara Uchiha was dancing on the battlefield, his opponents were the elite ninjas of the Allied Shinobi Forces, but why did Drake have to deal with these thugs?
It was embarrassing for Drake to tell anyone that he was bullying these ordinary people who didn't even have Chakra.
Gajeel knew better than to speak, and he didn't want to be dragged by Drake to do training that was no different from being beaten up later.
Drake turned his head, and his eyes glowed with fire as he looked at Gato and his group.
"Last chance. Those who don't want to die... get out!"
In an instant, everyone seemed to see a beast that chose people to devour baring its fangs, and the thug in the front had weak legs and fell down directly!
In fact, what Drake released to these lackeys wasn't killing intent. After all, it was quite difficult to generate killing intent towards these guys.
Gato also felt his heart being clenched, but then his personality of wanting money more than life, coupled with his ignorance, made him shout with red eyes, "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. Are we still afraid of just these few people?
Everyone, attack together! As long as you kill him, you can have as much money as you want!"
The eyes of those thugs who had originally wanted to run away began to turn red. A thug holding a dagger took a step forward subconsciously!
But it was as if this step had triggered something. The flames in Drake's eyes jumped, and in the next instant, the thug turned into a torch.
He didn't even have time to scream before turning into a pile of ashes in the flames, and directly scattered in the breeze, leaving only a black shadow in place.
Where did the others dare to move forward again? They all retreated instinctively.
"I don't want the money anymore, I'm leaving!"
Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and ran away.
With someone taking the lead, the others naturally wouldn't seek death again, and all began to turn around and run away. They were fleeing in a chaotic manner, and were all afraid that they would run too slowly and end up like the person just now.
In the blink of an eye, only Gato and the samurai with a katana next to him were left in front of everyone.
No matter what world it was, samurai were always stubborn and rigid, which had almost made Drake develop a stereotype.
It was the same in the ninja world. The samurai gathered in the Land of Iron clearly knew that ninjas with Chakra were far more powerful than them, but stubbornly adhered to their honor and rejected change.
But persistence wasn't always a good thing. Persisting in doing the right thing was indeed admirable, but persisting in being loyal to someone like Gato was called being an accomplice to evil.
Drake no longer wasted his breath, and regardless of whether Gato was threatening or begging, he threw a fireball over, stirring up a monstrous sea of fire and turning everyone to ashes.
Turning around and looking at Inari, who had come with all the villagers, Drake was gratified that he had finally mustered up his courage.
But Inari and the villagers didn't know what expression to make. Gato, who had made them live in darkness, had been eliminated so easily by Drake, which made them feel like they had been transported to another world for a while.
Drake smiled and patted Inari's head and said, "See, many problems are caused by a lack of power. Many difficulties that you thought you couldn't overcome aren't actually that scary.
So go and learn to become stronger! When you have enough power and the will to control that power, you'll be able to protect the people you want to protect and realize the dreams you want to realize!"
...
Now that Gato had disappeared, naturally no one would stop Tazuna from building the bridge. Even those craftsmen who had withdrawn before because of fear returned to the construction site.
It was as if all the difficulties had disappeared, and the bridge was completed at an amazing speed. After saying goodbye to Tazuna and Inari, Drake and Gajeel and Team 7 all returned to Konoha.
During this time, Drake had taught Inari a degraded version of his breathing technique and sword style. Even if he couldn't fully master that power, it wouldn't be a problem for him to deal with ordinary thugs or even samurai.
If he could really cultivate something, it would be a surprise for Drake.
After returning to the guild in Konoha, the others also returned to the guild after completing their requests.
As soon as he saw Drake, Natsu complained, "Drake, are there any stronger opponents in this world? Fighting opponents of this level all the time will make my body sluggish. How am I supposed to train like this!"
It was no wonder that Natsu thought so. The last time he had escorted a merchant caravan, he had only encountered a group of bandits who didn't even have Chakra.
Having also encountered a group of thugs, Drake patted him on the shoulder in understanding.
Stella said, "We encountered two strange people when we were doing a request.
Although there wasn't a conflict, I felt that those two should be quite powerful. And those black clothes with red clouds were quite handsome!"
Drake showed a strange look. Stella had actually encountered people from Akatsuki. But thinking about how Akatsuki was currently doing tasks everywhere to accumulate funds for Konan's explosive tags inventory, it wasn't strange to encounter them.
But Stella said that those two were wearing straw hats and had brushed past them, so she didn't know who those two people were.
But every member in the current Akatsuki was indeed a top figure in the ninja world, so it wasn't strange that Stella would have that feeling.
Drake comforted Natsu and said, "Alright, Konoha will probably become lively in a while. Then you'll be able to see the real power of this world."
What Drake was talking about was the Chunin Exams that would be jointly held by Konoha and several ninja villages such as Sunagakure, Kusagakure, and Amegakure.
And how could the Chunin Exams, which Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were participating in, be completed peacefully?
Orochimaru would carry out his Konoha Crush plan in this Chunin Exams, using the traditional teacher-student love of Konoha to give his teacher a dignified end.
As the first big scene in the entire plot, the top power of the ninja world did appear in this event.
Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, and the Third Hokage both showed the strength of powerful ninjas.
Then there was the incomplete Shukaku and the reincarnated First and Second Hokage. It could at least let everyone know how dangerous this world was.
Just as everyone began to look forward to it, a middle-aged man with round glasses and a beard walked into the guild.
"Is this the Fairy Tail that can accept any request? I have a request that I want to ask you to do.
Do you know Yukie Fujikaze, the number one actress in the Land of Fire?"
Drake slapped his forehead. He really hadn't recognized this man when he had first appeared. But after he had said that name, how could Drake not have thought of what request this was.
Speaking of which, the device in the Land of Snow that could change the environment of the entire country was indeed worth taking a look at.
