I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

After eliminating the few Cloud Village ninjas who possessed flying summoning beasts, he directly seized air superiority and unleashed his own artistic prowess upon the magnificent Cloud Village headquarters.

And if we're talking about the one who suffered the most misery, the most frustration, and the most severe losses in this mission, it would undoubtedly be the pilot of this terrifying puppet, Scorpion.

The Hidden Cloud Village is a martial village, and its overall training focuses on the extremely destructive Lightning Release, as well as taijutsu and swordsmanship.

Sasori's ordinary puppets were hardly a threat to them. Not long after the war began, most of them were destroyed by the enraged Cloud Village ninjas. Even Hiruko, who was good at both offense and defense, was seriously damaged.

After all, this is a war that started at the headquarters of the Hidden Cloud Village!

His puppets and his secret techniques for manipulating hundreds of machines were only slightly impressive when he made his appearance.

What truly enabled him to kill the enemy—or rather, to hinder the enemy—was his poison technique, which was no less powerful than that of Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure.

Of course, he hasn't used his real trump card yet.

"I knew I'd gone too far in indulging you!"

But thinking about all this, coupled with the other party's arrogant and unruly attitude and his provocative words, made Scorpion even angrier. His scorpion tail, which was radiating a cold light, suddenly pierced towards the blond-haired boy in his field of vision.

However, Deidara easily dodged the attack. Even high in the sky, his movements were as agile as a cat's, or perhaps he was already used to such surprise attacks.

Such proficiency would move even outsiders to tears.

"Hey, Brother Scorpion, are you itching to 'discuss' art with me again?"

"Then, I will..."

Deidara's lips began to curl upwards, and a gust of wind swept past his ears, lifting the hair that hung down to his left eye to reveal a miniature telescope hidden beneath.

"I'll grant your wish, hmm."

As he spoke, his palms suddenly and strangely opened into two mouths, and he began to chew and wriggle.

"Enough, Deidara, be quiet. Kisame needs to rest."

But amidst this half-serious, half-joking tussle, an unusually cold voice rang out.

The owner of this voice seemed to come from the underworld, belonging to hell, and there was not a trace of human warmth in his words.

"whispering sound,"

"Uchiha, Itachi."

"Sooner or later, I'll show you my great art, hmm."

The reprimanded blond boy withdrew his provocative gaze and began to seriously command the giant bird beneath his feet.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he was still subtly scrutinizing his 'companion' with its cold face and black hair. The power of those eerie eyes was not just illusion!

That terrifying, chilling black flame,

The crimson giant who came to Scorpion's rescue at the crucial moment

Of course, the most terrifying thing was the bizarre eye technique that successfully captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki in just a few breaths at the beginning!

Although they successfully seized the opportune moment under White Zetsu's guidance and were in a position to launch a surprise attack, their strength cannot be denied!

"Don't worry, Itachi-san."

"This is a minor injury; it will heal quickly."

"Besides, I also have Samehada."

"However, the Fourth Raikage is indeed a formidable opponent."

Kisame Hoshigaki, lying flat on the back of the giant bird, responded with some difficulty, and bright red blood flowed from its mouth with each word it uttered.

Meanwhile, the strange broadsword placed to the side actively wrapped its hilt around the former's arm, and the faint green light it emitted seemed to be healing its master's body.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha merely snorted softly, seemingly reverting to his usual cold and unapproachable demeanor.

Where did Payne find these terrifying creatures?

[They're really a bunch of muscle monsters, capable of going toe-to-toe with the Fourth Raikage.]

Deidara's peripheral vision also fell on his pale-faced, limp 'comrade'.

In this battle, the Fourth Raikage was seriously injured.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki's injuries were only more severe than shallow when he clashed head-on with him!

If the former had not fought against Jiraiya and the Eight-Tails in their complete form before, and if Itachi Uchiha had not burned it with a terrifying black flame at the crucial moment, this guy known as the tailless tailed beast would probably have been defeated here!

This tasked the four of them with directly confronting one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

I really don't know what the leader is thinking.

"Pay more attention, and go faster."

As if noticing the lingering gaze of the spy, Itachi Uchiha raised his eyes, his gaze and voice unusually cold.

"Tch, I never thought that someone who would lay a hand on their own kind would care about their comrades. It's really unbelievable, hmm."

Deidara naturally didn't take such a commanding tone to heart, and even had the mood to complain.

However, judging from the gust of wind passing by, the giant bird's flight speed had increased considerably.

[This is also to better complete the leader's tasks in the future, and definitely not because of Itachi's threatening attitude, hmm.]

.........

"As expected, with the current strength of the Akatsuki organization, it still lacks a bit of power to contend with one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages."

A hoarse voice echoed at the entrance of the dark cave, where raindrops were dripping.

As they were speaking, a strange black and white creature emerged from the ground. Judging from its general appearance, it could be considered humanoid.

Thump.

During this time, a dull, heavy sound of something falling to the ground could be heard.

"However, we have already obtained the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. Once their power is restored, we can extract the Tailed Beast at any time."

Jue continued.

However, it seemed as if he had switched his voice, and his words became light and joyful.

His grand plan to resurrect has finally taken its first solid step today!

The heavy object that was carelessly discarded was none other than the unconscious Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii!

"We were so grateful to have Itachi Uchiha with us this time. If it weren't for his eyes that gave us so much help in the battle, this operation probably wouldn't have been successful."

"It's a pity that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was transferred away by Kumogakure in advance, seemingly to prevent him from causing another uprising, and was therefore isolated on an unknown island at sea."

"Moreover, launching an attack on the Five Great Ninja Villages is indeed a bit too hasty."

"It's best not to be so reckless before all six paths are fully completed, especially since Kisame Hoshigaki's injuries need healing and Sasori's puppets need repairing. Let's lie low for now. I'll keep a close eye on the situation, so don't worry about that..."

Zetsu, who had brought back the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, was in high spirits and kept analyzing and suggesting the next steps.

just,

"why?"

A cold, indifferent question came from the young man in sight.

His voice was like the cold rain in this world, pure and devoid of any emotion.

"Eh?"

Jue was slightly taken aback, and the words he was about to analyze came to an abrupt halt. The burning joy that had risen from capturing the two tails was also extinguished in that instant.

He was unaware that he had said or done anything wrong.

Shouldn't the successful completion of this mission be a cause for celebration?

What illness has struck this guy this time?

Humans are truly inexplicable!

but,

"The Eight-Tails?"

On second thought, could it be that Payne was also dissatisfied with the fact that the mission was not completed perfectly? What an ambitious leader he is.

Although Obito himself wasn't very strong, the teammates he found were all pretty good.

His burning passion reignited, and he feigned sincerity and remorse in his self-criticism:

"As I mentioned earlier, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki had already been moved away by the ninjas of Kumogakure before we arrived, and did not escape during this capture battle."

"However, it was indeed my dereliction of duty that I failed to detect this important information in advance."

"I will also search for and investigate that small, moving island in the sea."

He spoke confidently, even admitting his mistakes and reflecting on them, just as Obito had instructed him.

However, human behavior is truly troublesome.

Despite admitting his mistake, he couldn't help but complain to himself.

"Why wasn't the heavily injured Kisame brought back first?!"

"Don't you realize what a huge loss it would be for the Akatsuki if such a powerful comrade were to be lost in battle?!"

The young man standing in the rain turned around quietly, his pair of purple swirling demonic eyes, coupled with his cold words, exuded an eerie intimidation.

【? 】

A huge greeting flashed through Jue's mind.

Has this guy gotten the situation wrong? Instead of prioritizing the mission and the Jinchūriki, he's concerned about a pawn that can be found anywhere?

But in the end, Jue never dared to utter such words.

After all, his plans still needed the help of these guys.

"Feel sorry."

"It's my fault. I was too focused on the Jinchūriki during the mission. I'll be more careful next time."

But he didn't refute it as usual.

For humans, sometimes feigning compliance is the most sensible choice.
