It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

On a wooden rooftop, a shadow clone watched through binoculars as Itachi Uchiha instantly defeated Orochimaru, and even he felt a pang of regret.

"This isn't like Orochimaru's style. It seems someone is trying to frame her. No wonder he's a good partner of the Darkness of the Ninja World. Wherever Konoha flies, the blame will never cease."

The shadow clone poured the last bit of potato chip crumbs from the bag into its small mouth, then clapped its hands and sensed the passing ANBU members using Body Flicker Technique to hide in the room behind.

This shouldn't be a big deal, so let's not tell the main body yet.

Konoha Village...

Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at the interrogation department and frowned as he looked at the three white figures that resembled two puddles of mud.

"Have you been able to identify what this is? Could it be Orochimaru's new biological weapon?"

"Lord Hokage, this thing is a living organism, and its cells are very active, but it's not quite certain whether it's an animal or a plant yet."

Upon hearing the medical ninja's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his old pipe and then nodded to Hinata Hyuga beside him.

After receiving permission from the Hokage, Hyuga Hime raised a finger and activated his Byakugan to examine the internal structure of White Zetsu. However, in his field of vision, a small area on White Zetsu's abdomen seemed to have some very regular patterns, like... a summoning mark.

Hyuga Hinata, still wondering if it was a summoning mark, looked at the white light shining from inside with a look of horror.

“It’s coming out!”

……

A few kilometers away from the interrogation department, Itachi Uchiha, having dealt with the White Zetsu, walked alone on a path. Suddenly sensing a hostile aura, he opened his three-tomoe Sharingan and looked around.

"Uchiha taking on seven at once, impressive eyes. This kind of talent should be considered quite good even within the Uchiha clan, right?" Pain, dressed in casual clothes and leaning against the corner of the wall, said to Itachi. Then, four people who came out from the surrounding buildings surrounded him.

Holding the short sword in front of him with both hands, Itachi looked at the six Pains around him with an inexplicable pressure in his eyes.

A few minutes later, Shisui was still reading in the council chamber of the guard unit when he was startled to see a bloodstained crow flying in through the window.

"This is…"

After using a secret technique to read the information stored in the crow's eyes, Shisui's expression changed drastically. He then ran towards the Hokage Building, but the ground began to shake when he was only halfway there.

In the underground base of the Anbu on the north side of Konoha, a giant rhinoceros over 40 meters tall emerged from the smoke and dust, smashing down the surrounding buildings with its sharp horns and massive body.

The terrain around the interrogation area had completely collapsed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi kicked the rubble off his body as he watched the giant summoning rhinoceros charging wildly forward, his expression changing in shock.

"Sound the highest alert! First squad, evacuate civilians to the shelter. Third and fourth squads, follow me to stop the summoned beasts from attacking!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

On the west side of Konoha, three Pains emerged from the mouth of Hell King Yama, while Pain, seeing the black flames on the ground extinguished, threw the heavily injured Itachi to the ground beside him.

This guy is pretty strong. The Uchiha clan really does produce a lot of talented people. It's a pity that this kind of power is useless against Kami.

Seeing the chaos that had broken out in Konoha on the other side, Pain waved his hand, sending the other four paths away.

If Plan A fails, then Plan B has to be used.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball spewed from its mouth and slammed into the head of the summoning rhinoceros, but this seemed to enrage it even more. Its deep purple eyes turned to Shisui, and it pawed at Shisui, roared, and charged at him.

Seeing the summoned beast charging towards him like a small mountain, Shisui drew a cold light from his waist, and in just one exchange...

The blade, imbued with wind-style chakra, severed the rhinoceros's horn.

Damn!

Amidst a flash of blood, the rhinoceros collapsed to the ground, the force of its impact also destroying a nearby house.

"Moo!"

He landed from the sky, looked at the summoning beast that was already unsteady on its feet, nodded to the ANBU members surging around him, and then ran towards the collapsed interrogation room.

But after taking only a few steps, Shisui felt a tightness around his waist and his expression changed.

While still being controlled by the chameleon's mouth, the Animal Path formed hand seals and used the power of its tongue to forcefully throw Shisui away. However, in just 0.2 seconds, Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique to stabilize his center of gravity in mid-air.

boom! boom! boom!

Explosions of varying degrees rang out one after another around Konoha Village, and even the ground of the entire village trembled slightly.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!" A large amount of soil gushed from the ground and splashed around, revealing the chameleon's form to the viewer.

As a fiery dragon flew in from afar, a missile flying through the air neutralized it in mid-air.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been running over from a distance, tossed aside his cumbersome Hokage robes, revealing the black combat plate armor underneath. His expression turned serious as he watched the Asura Path and the Animal Path emerging from the lizard's mouth as they approached.

"What are those two pairs of eyes...?"

……

Just as Shiki was approaching the border of the Land of Lightning with Obito, she suddenly sensed the message coming from the shadow clone and abruptly stopped.

Seeing that Zhixue was not moving, Obito asked, "What happened?"

"Um... I'm going to the bathroom... wait for me a bit!" Zhi Xue said to Obito, then hurriedly ran down into the hole next to her.

Upon arriving in the enclosed environment, Zhixue concealed her chakra reaction for a moment, then opened her pair of dark purple Rinnegan and received the message from the shadow clone. Her expression was somewhat strange.

Pain attacked Konoha? Did he feel threatened by Konoha from behind?

Guy seems to be on a mission today. He really knows how to pick his time. However, Itachi and his older brother seem to still be in Konoha. It will probably be a bit difficult for Pain to fight them.

Because of the cell transplant and the magic talisman, Zhixue wasn't too worried about her brother's safety, but she still asked her shadow clone to protect Sasuke.

Sasuke was one of the few friends of the original owner of this body, and also her half-disciple, so naturally she had to take good care of him. As for Naruto, it seems that he went out to train with Jiraiya, who rarely returned to the village, after the Chunin Exams, so there was no need to worry about him.

"Protect Sasuke? That's easy." After receiving the message from the main body, the shadow clone firmly tied the headband to its forehead, then used the transformation technique to disguise itself and disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 239, Capturing the Eight-Tails

In the valley at the foot of Kumogakure, Obito threw a ninja to the ground and used Sharingan genjutsu to find out the location of Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Have you obtained any intelligence?"

"It seems we're lucky to be in Leiyun Gorge, near Kumogakure. The fact that the Jinchuriki isn't in the village makes capturing them much easier." Obito ended the life of a Kumogakure ninja with a shuriken, then looked at Shisei and said.

"Thundercloud Gorge? Not a bad name." Zhi Xue opened the map and looked at the buffer zone of the rolling mountains to the west, her pupils gradually emitting a blood-red light.

At the summit of a mountain in the Thundercloud Gorge area, Killer Bee, who was walking on a flat cliff and twisting in a strange dance, suddenly seemed to sense something, stopped and looked at the stone tower in the distance.

Shiki, dressed in an Akatsuki robe, sat on the rubble, staring at Killer Bee with her Sharingan eyes.

“This doesn’t feel good, oh yeah.” Killer Bee said, twisting his body as he pulled out two short swords from behind him.

"That's the Mangekyou Sharingan?" The Eight-Tails inside Killer Bee felt a sense of foreboding as it looked at Zhi Xue's scarlet eyes.

"By the way, they seem to have ill intentions. We'd better leave quickly and definitely not get any closer."

"I'm not an idiot, but I'm not a coward either. The rap master of Kumogakure won't let the villains who invade the village get away with it!"

Eight-tailed:......

Zhixue performed a backflip from the cliff and landed a dozen meters in front of Killer Bee, saying to him, "Are you the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails?"

"The Eight-Tails is indeed me, but I have no interest in children, you bastards, you idiots..."

Listening to Killer Bee's headache-inducing linguistic charm, Zhi Xue shrugged and said, "I'll take that as your agreement."

Shiyuki donned a yellow knight's armor, then drew the Kusanagi sword and thrust it straight at Killer Bee.

Clang!

Killer Bee parried Zhi Xue's attack with two short swords, then pressed down hard, staring into Zhi Xue's eyes and rapping, "Fearless killer bee, childish brat, oh yeah~"

The Kusanagi sword in Shiyuki's hand burst into a fierce flame, forcing Killer Bee back. After several backflips, Killer Bee drew his other short swords and began to fight Shiyuki.

Killer Bee's footwork and swordsmanship were filled with an eerie and murderous aura. Every direction of his body seemed to be armed with a deadly weapon, making him as unpredictable as a hedgehog. However, when the short swords struck the armor and only produced a series of crisp sounds, Killer Bee still frowned.

Snapped!

Using her Sharingan to track the blade's path, Shiyuki took advantage of Killer Bee's brief moment of recovery and placed her hand on his chest. A burst of brilliant blue light struck him, and Killer Bee, billowing black smoke, spun several times in the air before finally coming to a stop on the ground.

"Oh~ swordsmanship through armor, that's a foul game, you brat, you have no manners, you idiot, you bastard."

After scattering the dumplings in her hand, Zhixue looked at Killer Bee in the distance and waved her hand, saying, "You'd better bring out your full strength when facing me. I hope your dance will be more impressive."

Hearing Zhixue's extremely arrogant words, Killer Bee was also a little angry, and then a red chakra emanated from his body and attached itself to it.

It's just a simple borrowing of chakra, but in this state, a ninja's defense and wound healing abilities are greatly enhanced.

"That brat with Sharingan spouting nonsense, the octopus's tail doesn't hold back!"

Killer Bee imbued his short sword with Lightning Release, which then emitted a burst of intense blue light. He stomped his foot, and the ground instantly cracked open.

In the blink of an eye, Killer Bee was right in front of Zhixue.

"Supersonic Thunder Escape Sword!"

Seeing Killer Bee's blade slashing towards her with her Sharingan, Shiyu smiled.

If we only borrow chakra, it's not enough.

To Killer Bee's astonishment, Zhi Xue activated a half-body skeleton around her, stretched out her large hand and pinched Killer Bee in her hand like a small animal. The short sword imbued with lightning chakra also fell to the ground, making a series of crackling sounds.

As Killer Bee watched the pattern slowly rotating in Zhi Xue's pupils, he also felt a wave of dizziness, but soon the octopus tail that emerged from his body broke free from Zhi Xue's hand like a slippery fish.

Killer Bee shook his still dizzy head a few dozen meters away, looked at Zhixue in the distance, and his expression became serious.

Fortunately, the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts are immune to most genjutsu, otherwise they would have been defeated just now.

"By the way, the enemy is a member of the Uchiha clan, and their strength is probably not to be underestimated. Let's use the Tailed Beast Transformation."

Hearing the Eight-Tails' suggestion, Killer Bee nodded, then pointed to where Shixue was and rapped, "Oh yeah~ I didn't expect that brat to be so strong, well then this great one will also show his true strength!"

Killer Bee inserted the short sword into its sheath behind him, and then the originally scarlet chakra on his body seemed to turn dark red, enveloping his entire figure. Five huge tails flew behind him, bringing with them an aura of disaster.

"Lightning Blade!" Killer Bee gathered his chakra in his elbow and slammed it down on the first form of Susanoo like a red streak of light.

"You think you can move Susanoo?" Looking at Killer Bee flying towards her like a cannonball, Zhi Xue shook her finger, then activated the chakra in her body to coat Susanoo with layers of thick armor.

Susanoo raised its fist, which was as large as a roof beam, and slammed Killer Bee into the ground.

boom!

Elbow strike failed.

The entire mountain peak seemed to tremble slightly, and amidst the thick smoke and dust, a black sphere radiating immense power shot out from the ground, blasting a distant mountain into the ground.

Zhi Xue drew a long sword and, seeing another Tailed Beast Ball shoot out, cleaved it in two. The two Tailed Beast Balls that flew out burst into dazzling light in the air not far away.

After crawling out from underground, Killer Bee's expression turned grim as he watched how easily Zhixue had dealt with the Tailed Beast Ball.
