Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 272 The Uninvited Guest Heads to Akatsuki

The masked man knew that Nagato was not able to move easily.

He unleashed Fire Release: Explosive Dance to quickly fill the ward with flames, drawing away excess oxygen and putting the two in danger of suffocation.

The next moment, several explosive tags were successfully attached to his leg. Xiao Nan formed a hand seal and immediately detonated them!

Just then, Kamui took the masked man to another dimension, and with a series of muffled thuds, he disappeared before their eyes.

The recent close-quarters combat seems to have caused some damage to both sides.

Xiao Nan immediately pulled out the wheelchair next to the hospital bed, ran over and picked up Nagato, but inevitably got splattered with the leaping flames.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

"boom!"

The flames on her back were extinguished by Nagato, who then coughed violently, as if the Shinra Tensei he had just unleashed had used up all his strength.

Suddenly, she felt a chill around her.

At this moment, ice began to form around the ward, rapidly lowering the temperature inside. The windows shattered, letting in fresh air mixed with wind and rain.

Soon, the flames grew smaller and smaller until they disappeared, and a masked figure with long hair appeared in front of them.

Bai looked at the two of them and said, "Please stay here for now. Although the barrier around the room has been destroyed, it is still the safest place."

Xiao Nan couldn't help but exclaim, "He's still here!"

“I know,” Bai said calmly, “someone is chasing after him.”

At this moment, the ward was surrounded by at least three teams of secret agents.

……

the other side.

Hospital corridor.

Wearing an animal mask, Naruto ran at top speed along the spot where the masked man had just disappeared.

beep, beep...

His right hand gripped a shuriken imbued with a long strand of wind-style chakra.

With the enhancement of Sage Chakra, Wind Release: Vacuum Blade's length and strength have been increased to a certain extent.

suddenly,

Naruto saw a pitch-black hand suddenly emerge from the ground, about to grab his ankle!
"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

Naruto leaped into the air, his body facing the ground, and swung his right hand downwards!

"Shhh!!"

The floor instantly cracked open with a deep fissure, and the wind blade pierced through the hand, but the upward movement did not stop.

Naruto concentrated his chakra in his left hand, used it to brace himself against the ground, and flipped his body 180 degrees back to the ground.

Then, he charged toward the masked man as if he were crouching to start a race, and threw out the kunai with wind blades attached to it.

The masked man charged towards him at the same time, and the wind blade kunai pierced through his mask. He narrowed his eyes and saw Naruto clapping his hands together.

"Sage Art: Gale Palm!" Naruto roared in his mind, and a hurricane suddenly swept through the entire corridor, with countless tiny wind blades attempting to cut through the masked man's body.

"Shh! Shh!"

Surprisingly, this time the masked man did not choose to continue to blur his body; instead, he stubbornly lunged towards Naruto!
"what happened……"

Naruto felt a sense of doubt, but at that moment, the voice of his true self suddenly resounded within him:

[Get out of the way, it's an illusion!]

Naruto's eyelids twitched, and he instinctively dodged to the side!

He took the opportunity to disrupt the chakra within his body, and was surprised to find that he had not just released Sage Art: Gale Palm. Instead, the masked man stretched out his right hand in his direction.

While he was still somewhat conscious, Naruto bit his lip, drawing a trickle of blood.

The next moment, he let the pain fully awaken him, ducked down, and dodged the fatal grab.

"Ok?"

The masked man was surprised that this person could break free from his Sharingan genjutsu in a second or two.

Naruto retreated rapidly, and the masked man instantly activated Kamui, from which a large number of kunai and shuriken flew out!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

This is one of the unique abilities of the right eye's Kamui, which allows it to summon ninja tools from the Kamui dimension for a surprise attack.

Naruto took a deep breath and quickly completed the hand seals:
"Immortal Technique·Vacuum Jade!"

In an instant, he unleashed a high-pressure blast of air like a cannonball, directly scattering all the ninja tools in front of him!
Many kunai were cut into countless pieces by the wind blades inside the wind ball.

Seeing that he had failed, the masked man sank back into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Naruto immediately used Sage Mode chakra to sense the location and found that he had circled around and returned to the direction where Nagato was.

"They actually chose to launch a surprise attack at a time like this?!"

Naruto was surprised by the masked man's thought process, but he quickly realized that it was precisely by launching a surprise attack when being chased that it was easier to catch the enemy off guard.

His current identity is that of a mysterious wind-style ninja, and for Obito, he may not be able to immediately turn around and support Nagato.

Aside from space-time ninjutsu, few techniques can match Kamui in terms of providing support in an extremely short time.

With that thought in mind, Naruto decisively removed the animal mask and took off the black robe covering his body.

the other side.

In the ward.

The arriving medical ninja took out the medicine, inserted the needle into Nagato's vein, and began to administer the IV.

He used the Rinnegan while he was unwell, and the surprise attack further weakened him.

Suddenly, the person in the shadows closest to the ward door sensed someone approaching, but before they could react, a hand suddenly supported their abdomen.

"puff!!!"

Countless branches suddenly burst forth from the back of that ANBU member's body!

Wood Release: Pole Piercing Technique—any physical contact will cause countless tree branches to sprout from the enemy's body, instantly killing them. Konan and Haku felt a chill run down their spines, and almost simultaneously released Paper Release shuriken and countless ice spikes, stabbing at the enemy before them.

Not only that, there were also scalpels imbued with chakra, flying needles carrying venom, and kunai followed by steel wires.

Everyone in Konoha instantly countered the masked man's sudden attack!
He simply activated his intangibility, dodging all attacks and setting his sights on Nagato.

beep, beep...

Xiao Nan dashed to his side and stood protectively in front of him.

The next moment, he passed right through Konan and reached out a hand towards Nagato!

Konan and Nagato were very close, so he couldn't make his ethereal body no longer overlap with Konan's.

But Xiao Nan instinctively sensed something was wrong and shouted behind her, "Watch out!"

By this time, the masked man had passed through Konan and overlapped with Nagato's body, and his running pace did not slow down.

Xiao Nan's pupils contracted; she suddenly knew what the masked man was up to.

In less than half a second, the masked man ran behind Nagato, but his body no longer overlapped. At this moment, he suddenly changed the shape of his body and became solid!

Then, he turned his body and grabbed at Nagato!
"Oh no!" Konan turned around, but Nagato was too close to the masked man at that moment.

It's too late to provide support.

This is a campaign that combines the virtual and the real, utilizing people's habitual thinking.

If the masked man had chosen to ambush Nagato from behind from the beginning, he would most likely have been targeted by everyone and forced to remain in a holographic state, unable to make physical contact with Nagato.

But if they choose to attack from the front, although everyone will still focus their fire, they will subconsciously assume that the threat comes from in front of them.

Then he would pass through everyone, including Nagato, and immediately turn around and grab Nagato in less than a second of solidification.

The masked man said calmly, "It seems I've succeeded..."

But before he could finish speaking, his expression changed, and then his body suddenly passed through Nagato again!
There was no other reason than that a blond figure suddenly appeared beside Nagato, his right hand forming a Rasengan as he lunged at him!

The masked man's ultimate intangibility allowed him to dodge Naruto's Rasengan, but also completely cost him the chance to take Nagato away.

Naruto did not hesitate and immediately dispersed the Rasengan, placing one hand on Nagato's shoulder.

"Whoosh!"

He took Nagato and teleported to another location at the speed of light.

Naruto ultimately gave up on continuing to pursue the masked man and prioritized protecting Nagato.

……

"Whoosh!"

Nagato felt a blur before his eyes, and then found himself on the top floor of the Hokage Building.

Tsunade had been waiting there for a long time. She strode over and looked at Naruto with a questioning gaze.

Naruto shook his head: "He managed to dodge it, he's probably already run away."

Tsunade remained silent for a long time before letting out a long breath.

"I see."

There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Could it be that even the trap she set at great risk couldn't catch the mastermind behind 'Akatsuki'?
"It's not surprising that we can't catch him. He has mastered space-time ninjutsu, and his ability to make his body intangible is too incredible. In most cases, we can't do anything to him."

"...I understand, but your promise hasn't been fulfilled, and I'll have to spend a lot of time dealing with the two advisors again."

Tsunade pinched the bridge of her nose, then walked back to the Hokage's office. Before leaving, she turned to look at Nagato.

"What's your plan?"

Nagato was taken aback. He hadn't figured out the question yet, and he only felt his head throbbing and his vision blurring.

Tsunade noticed his discomfort: "...You should rest first."

After saying that, she left in her high heels.

The next moment, the man in white followed and nodded to Naruto.

Naruto glanced in the direction of the hospital.

"I'm sorry, Nagato. I originally wanted to solve the problem once and for all, but it seems we'll have to spend some more time dealing with the masked man."

After saying that, he winked at the man in white, intending for him to push Nagato back to the Hokage Building.

"and many more……"

Nagato suddenly called out to him.

"what happened?"

"How did you suddenly appear next to me?" Nagato asked.

Naruto patted his left shoulder with his right hand.

"I've marked you."

Nagato was taken aback, then pulled his left shoulder away.

A rune appeared a little behind the shoulder blade.

When Naruto had a heart-to-heart talk with Nagato, he patted Nagato's left shoulder and secretly left the Flying Thunder God seal.

From that moment on, the idea of fishing for Obito took root in his mind.

Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but reality was harsh.
