Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 209 I Don't Like You That Much Either

"..."

No one spoke; they all stared intently at the two of them.

The finger on the kunai gun's trigger was taut, trembling slightly as if under that aura.

The "Kunai Gun" is a standardized individual weapon developed and widely deployed by the Sky Ninja Village.

By combining the traditional ninja throwing weapon kunai with the firing principle of firearms, a highly efficient, accurate, and suppressive long-range weapon was created.

Driven by mechanics and chakra, it is possible to launch kunai rapidly and continuously, greatly increasing the speed and density of kunai projection.

If they continue to develop in this way, some advanced models or specially designed kunai guns may even be able to have chakra conduction and amplification functions.

However, this weapon is only effective against regular ninjas; against those exceptionally powerful beings...

"It seems that many more people will have to die."

Hanzo, standing beside him, removed his gas mask and said calmly, "Let's finish this quickly and bring that Shennong you mentioned back to Nagato as soon as possible."

This time, if he and 'Shadow' are slower than Kakuzu and the others when they take action themselves, they will probably be mocked by Kakuzu again.

"Don't kill too many," 'Shadow' kindly reminded them. "After all, they are subordinates of future new members, and should be considered part of Akatsuki's property."

Hearing the two talking as if no one else was around, the Sky Ninja Captain's pupils contracted and he shouted, "Fire!"

Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
The deafening gunfire instantly filled everyone's ears.

As Kongren pulled the trigger, the chakra within the gun gushed out, unleashing a torrent of energy from countless kunai.

The kunai broke the sound barrier with a deafening roar, and the sound of chakra exploding resounded.

Hundreds and thousands of kunai rained down like a torrential downpour, carrying immense kinetic energy, forming an inescapable barrage that enveloped the two.

To the ninja, such a close-range and dense saturation attack would make it difficult for even a high-ranking ninja from a major power to escape unscathed.

However, faced with a storm powerful enough to tear ordinary people to shreds, Hanzo took a deep breath, his chest slightly bulging.

Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head sharply, and a thick, pungent purple mist with a pungent, sweet-smelling odor was exhaled from his mouth.

The purple mist instantly spread and surged around the two, blurring their figures.

Tsk! !
A series of teeth-grinding corrosive sounds rang out, like a red-hot iron being plunged into cold water!

The kunai, which were shot with tremendous kinetic energy, softened, twisted and dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye the moment they came into contact with the strange purple mist!

Countless kunai melted away in the purple mist, leaving no trace, not even a speck of residue, only the strong aroma that permeated the air.

"Wha, what?!"

The expressions on the faces of the group of Sky Ninjas froze instantly, replaced by shock and disbelief.

"Poison, poison mist! Is that Hanzo the Salamander?!" The Sky Ninja Captain finally recognized the signature ability, his voice trembling with fear.

Within the purple poisonous mist, 'Shadow' remained standing in the same spot.

But the shadow beneath his feet, like ink dripping into water, began to spread silently behind him, covering a large area of ​​the deck behind him in the blink of an eye, forming a shadow.

Immediately afterwards, several clear black silhouettes emerged from the deep shadows.

Finally, dozens of eerie black figures, completely black, stood behind the 'shadow'.

They have no facial features, only empty eye sockets that open with a crimson, blood-red light. The armor they wear clangs softly, and they hold samurai swords in their hands.

Shadow Legion - Samurai Legion - Helmet Shadow.

Their armor gave them greater resistance, while the katana in their hands were indestructible weapons.

Facing a group of air ninja wielding kunai spears, they were undoubtedly the most suitable opponents.

Even the sea breeze seemed to stand still at that moment.

Only the monotonous sound of waves crashing against the ship's hull and the suppressed, fearful, heavy breathing of the air ninjas remained on the deck.

'Shadow's' gaze swept over the group of stunned Sky Ninjas, and his smiling voice rang out again, this time with a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Kill," he said.

As soon as they finished speaking, the helmeted figures locked their crimson gazes on every terrified air ninja on the deck, and in unison gripped their katana tightly, charging towards them.

Meanwhile, inside the underground hub of the flying fortress called "Ankelbandian," which is covered with strange runes.

"Lord Shennong," a ninja knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully, "'Hollow' is all ready."

"Ah."

Shennong stood before a huge instrument shaped like a tombstone, and without turning his head, calmly said, "Well done."

He looked up and stared at the "silkworm pupa" in front of the instrument, which was covered in yellow gel and had several gel-like strands sticking around it like tentacles, supporting its suspension in the air.

Gudong!Gudong!
The "silkworm pupa" emitted a faint glow and beat rhythmically like a heart.
Through the transparent, pale yellow gel on the surface, you can vaguely see the strange creature curled up inside.

It has a thick, supple, jet-black body like a giant snake, but its head is a white mask with the word "zero" written on it.

Bright lights shone down from above, illuminating every detail of the mask.

Those crimson lips, those long, narrow, upturned eyes.

Like the nobles in the play, they have exaggerated makeup on their faces and look unusually strange and evil.

Inside the transparent gelatinous pipe, black substance was flowing, nurturing the monster within the cocoon.

It was even quite noticeable that he was undergoing some kind of transformation.

However, due to insufficient energy supply, it is currently dormant, just like a snake.

"This is Zero-Tail Void, what a powerful force."

The ninja had already raised his head, and his eyes, now filled with anticipation and reverence, were fixed on the monster.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Shennong looked up and smiled, his gaze fixed intently on Zero-Tail, and said in a low voice, "With it, we will possess power comparable to that of a Tailed Beast!"

"If it weren't for the appearance of 'Void,' given the darkness in the hearts of those common people, we don't know how much longer we would have had to wait!"

Zero-Tails Void is created from so-called dark chakra, but in essence it is just strong, negative spiritual energy from humans, no different from the demons in the ninja world.

However, Shennong used this monster as the energy source for the Sky Fortress.

Now, he possesses a unique aerial force in the ninja world, as well as "Ankelbandian," the secret fortress of the Sky Ninja Village, a city that can fly in the air.

With Zero-Tails' chakra, comparable to that of a tailed beast, as its energy source, and after being converted by this sky fortress, a single shot can destroy a mountain peak.

At this moment, Shennong's ambition and arrogance had reached their peak.

"Oh, right." Shennong seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the Kongren behind him, "Remember to collect as many 'Voids' as backup energy along the way."

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh, "These 'virtual' things are simply made for 'zero tails'."

"The dark chakra that one Hollow can supply to the Zero-Tails is equivalent to that of a thousand people. I wonder what the so-called Espada can do. If we could find them..."

Before he could finish his greedy words, a huge explosion rang out.

Boom! A dull thud traveled along the ground, and even Shennong, who was deep inside, felt the violent tremor.

Woo! Woo! Woo!
The piercing alarm instantly shattered the silence, and the red and blue warning lights flashed wildly, casting a hurried and ominous hue over the already dark space.

"What, what's going on?"

The kneeling ninja was jolted and staggered. He braced himself on the ground to steady himself, his face filled with shock and confusion. He subconsciously looked up at the only door leading to the outside world.

Shennong stood there steadily, unmoved by the tremor.

But the madness and pride on his face froze, replaced by an interrupted anger and a hint of barely perceptible surprise.

"Enemy attack?" He turned his head sharply to look at the air ninja. "What are you standing there for? Go and see what's going on!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Shennong!"

Kong Ren seemed to wake from a dream, and quickly lowered his head, assuring him, "Please rest assured, with our current strength, we can even stop an attack from the five great nations..."

Boom! !
An even louder and closer explosion than before slammed into the heavy alloy door.

This time, the impact was not a tremor, but a devastating tearing apart.

Click!

The incredibly sturdy alloy door was torn apart from the outside and exploded inward by an unimaginable force, with twisted metal fragments mixed with dense smoke and dust scattering everywhere.

Smoke and dust instantly filled the entire space, the pungent dust making it hard to breathe, and the flashing red and blue alarm lights at the door cast two distorted shadows in the smoke and dust.

Two figures slowly walked in through the gaping hole, emerging from the dust and reflected in Shennong's frozen pupils.

Hanzo gripped the poisoned scythe tightly in his hand, the tip dripping a viscous, reddish-purple liquid, while 'Kage' remained completely untouched by any dust, as if nothing concerned him.

Their gazes first fell on the “silkworm pupa” in the center, which was wrapped in yellow gel and pulsating like a heart, before they looked at Shennong standing there.

"You are Shennong?"

Hanzo, with a condescending gaze, frowned and asked, "The leader of the Sky Ninja Village?"

so weak.

How could it be so weak?

Seeing the meaning in Hanzo's eyes, Shennong's surprise was replaced by anger.

"Who are you people?" he gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Do you know who I am? Do you still come here to die?"

Gudong! Gudong! Gudong!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zero-Tail, which was wrapped in yellow gel, opened his eyes, and a cold, viscous wave, full of malice and greed, spread out like a tide!
Seeing this, 'Shadow' and Hanzo exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.

This guy seems to have no concept of the difference in strength between the two sides.

"Forget it, at least that bug wasn't bad." Hanzo shook his head and said, "Let's beat it up and take it away, then let Nagato decide."

After saying that, he raised his hand, bit his finger, and slapped it on the ground.

Psychic art!

boom! !

------

At this very moment, in the desert near the Land of Wind, the blazing sun hangs high in the unshaded sky.

The scorching sun poured mercilessly onto the boundless golden sand dunes, baking every grain of sand until it was burning hot and shiny, and sending up waves of heat that distorted the view.

The dry air makes every breath feel like it's filled with the roughness of sand and the heat that burns your lungs.

The wind is the only sound in this desolate land, howling like a sob, stirring up fine dust that swirls and flows among the undulating dunes.

In this sea of ​​sand, three figures stood facing each other.

One of them was a handsome young man with red hair; anyone from Sunagakure would recognize that familiar face.

Sasori of the Red Sand, an S-rank rogue ninja from Sunagakure!
"Who are you?"

Scorpion slowly narrowed his eyes, looking at the two people in front of him.

A tall, burly man with red markings on his face carried a strange, large sword on his shoulder, exuding an aura of bloodlust and violence.

Scorpion recognized him instantly.

Juzo Biwa, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure and one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!
But standing next to Pipa Juzo was a completely unfamiliar man, a man with a completely different temperament.

Wearing a pair of black sunglasses, his slick and flamboyant appearance made him look more like a ruthless businessman than a ninja.

However, it seems that Juzo Biwa subtly prioritizes him.

“Sasori of the Red Sand,” Miyajo En said with a cynical smile. “We come from an organization called ‘Akatsuki,’ and we hope you will join us.”

"Akatsuki? Never heard of that organization." Sasori said in a flat tone. "While I wouldn't mind finding a place to stay, unfortunately, I don't like your tone."

"Ah." Miyajo En rubbed his hair in annoyance. "I'm sorry about that, I've always been like this."

"But to be honest, I don't really like you either."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed down his sunglasses, revealing his eyes. His scarlet pupils were horizontal, like those of a demon.

Bloodline Limit: Blood Dragon Eye.

"Bloodline Ninja?"

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Scorpion's face. He took out the scroll from his waist and laughed, "Looks like my luck is pretty good."

"Although we found nothing in the village, some good puppet materials came to us on their own."

As soon as he finished speaking, he tossed the scroll in his hand away and raised his hands to form a hand seal.

Bang!
Click, click, click!
With a burst of white smoke, a puppet appeared before them.

A black robe, long blue hair, that familiar face...

"Wow, that's amazing."

Pipa Juzo consciously stepped back, and Miyajo En laughed mockingly, "So this is the Third Kazekage, known as the strongest Kazekage? You've actually turned him into a puppet."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hands, assuming a bow-drawing posture.

A white longbow appeared in his hand.

Ninja Tool: Sacred Annihilation Arrow.

The next moment, Sasori pulled on the threads with both hands, and the puppet of the Third Kazekage flew out, making a strange cracking sound.

A crimson blood arrow condensed on the longbow in Miyajo En's hand.

Release and shoot.

呲!
