Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 230 Playing the Role of Xu Xian (Four Chapters Combined)

The crisis is over.

I love Luo and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But his mission was not over yet.

He gritted his teeth and moved the empty sand barrier above Sunagakure Village.

Because the quantity is too large.

If they fall, they will destroy half of Sunagakure.

After being moved outside the village, Gaara slowly descended.

His face was deathly pale, and he had almost no chakra left in his body.

If it weren't for Aburame Shiki and Aburame Shino today, he could imagine what would have happened.

With the strength of Sunagakure, dealing with Deidara was already a struggle.

Adding Sasori of the Red Sand to the mix, there is absolutely no chance of victory.

"Kazekage-sama!"

The ninjas from Sunagakure surrounded them.

Their faces were filled with excitement and approval.

Although Aburame Shiki was the biggest contributor today, Gaara's efforts were also recognized by them.

Previously, some ninjas did not agree with him becoming Kazekage.

Now that this has happened, no one has any objections anymore.

Gaara glanced around and noticed the change in their attitude, which stirred his heart.

His efforts were not in vain.

"Lord Hokage."

Gaara walked up to Shiki Aburame, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you very much for Konoha's support."

"You're welcome."

Aburame Shiki casually said, "Lord Kazekage, please handle this first. We'll talk later."

"Temari, take the Hokage to rest."

Gaara nodded and said.

Although they tried their best to avoid Sunagakure, their battle still had a significant impact.

As the Wind Shadow, he couldn't just walk away.

"Lord Hokage, please follow me."

Temari said in a respectful tone.

Under her guidance, Aburame Shiki arrived at the inn specially prepared for Konoha Village.

Aburame Shino and Nara Shikamaru also left together.

Temari didn't linger; she said goodbye and left.

First, she knew that the three people from Konoha Village were definitely going to talk.

Secondly, she has to go help Gaara.

"You did a good job."

Aburame Shiki looked at Nara Shikamaru and Aburame Shino and said.

"I didn't do anything."

Nara Shikamaru waved his hand, not taking credit, "It was mainly Shino."

"You all deserve credit; we'll reward you when we get back."

"Now you can all go and rest," said Zhihui with a smile.

After Nara Shikamaru and Aburame Shino left, he returned to his room.

The room layout was alright, but it was far inferior to that of Konoha Village.

After all, the environment is harsh.

A blue light flashed.

Princess Ichikishima landed on the ground and returned to human form.

She remained hidden in the sleeve of the oil-loving Zhihui.

She had hoped to be able to help, but in the end, she couldn't get involved at all.

"Owner."

Princess Ichikishima, carrying a teacup, walked to the sofa.

"Thanks."

You Nu Zhihui drank it all in one gulp and put the teacup aside.

He patted his thigh.

Princess Ichikishima sat happily in his lap.

Oil Girl Zhihui put one arm around her waist and placed the other on her white-stockinged thigh.

He gently stroked the fine white silk, lost in thought.

The battle with the scorpion ended too quickly, lasting no more than an hour.

It takes an ordinary ninja three days to travel from Konoha to Sunagakure.

Even if Kakashi Hatake and Team 7 travel at full speed, it would still take at least several hours.

In other words, they haven't arrived yet.

Furthermore, Shiki Aburame is unsure whether Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki will appear as they did in the original work.

"Master...Master."

Princess Ichikishima felt the warmth of that large hand, and her thighs tensed, her toes curled, and her eyes became dazed.

Oil Girl Zhihui subconsciously lowered her head.

Her fair face was flushed slightly, making her both cute and charming.

"You're such a little glutton."

"It's oil-loving Zhihui," he said with a smile.

The snake queen followed him, and she became increasingly gluttonous.

"I……"

Just as Princess Ichikishima was about to retort, she felt a sharp pain in her chest and dared not speak again.

Oil Girl Zhihui shook her head.

As a climber, he preferred to play with Tsunade.

Let's not even mention Princess Ichikishima.

But now that he's in Sunagakure, he naturally won't mind. What's wrong with being Xu Xian for once?

"Stand properly, sit properly."

Oil Girl Zhihui slapped her white-stockinged buttocks and scolded her.

Princess Ichikishima quickly shifted her body and sat up straight.

But she was petite, and even with her legs outstretched, she couldn't reach the ground.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Master."

Princess Ichikishima said, her eyes brimming with tears.

That's fine.

Oil Girl Zhihui grimaced.

It's so tight.

Princess Ichikishima sensed the disappointment in Aburame Shiki's tone and trembled in fear.

She struggled to prop herself up again.

Have you heard the story of the flood that submerged Jinshan Temple?

Oil Girl Zhihui glanced at it and asked.

"No...no."

Princess Ichikishima looked up at the ceiling.

All she knows now is what thermal expansion and contraction are.

"This story is related to a white snake."

"I love you," said Zhihui, embracing her slender waist.

"The White Snake?"

Princess Ichikishima's eyes barely cleared as she asked, "Is it... from Ryuchi Cave?"

"no."

Oil Girl Zhihui raised an eyebrow.

As expected, Snake Princess is not to be underestimated.

He touched the curve of Ichikishima Hime's flat abdomen.

"Long ago, there was a monk named Fahai who lived in Jinshan."

Oil Girl Zhihui casually made up a story, saying, "Because he kidnapped the White Snake's sweetheart, the White Snake was so angry that she flooded Jinshan Temple."

"what?"

Princess Ichikishima's expression became somewhat distorted.

"What's wrong? Are you going to imitate the flooding of Jinshan Temple?"

Oil Girl Zhihui took a deep breath and asked.

No...no.

Princess Ichikishima quickly shook her head and said, "I... I'm just surprised... that the White Snake can have someone she loves."

"And it's a human being."

"Oil Girl Zhihui added."

"Humans?"

Princess Ichikishima gaped in surprise.

"Not only was she human, but she was pregnant."

"Issue no Shiki continued."

"Humans...can humans and white snakes get pregnant?"

Princess Ichikishima rolled her eyes, her tone full of disbelief.

"You're questioning me?"

Oil Girl Zhihui slightly rose and asked in her ear.

"No... I wouldn't dare!"

Princess Ichikishima was startled and raised her voice, saying, "I can get pregnant for my master too!"

"..."

Oil Girl Zhihui twitched the corner of her mouth.

Let's forget about this one.

The flooding of Jinshan Temple is a mythical story.

In the ninja world, no White Snake could achieve this level of skill.

Although Princess Ichikishima is also a thousand-year-old snake demon, she is not a cultivator.

"Quiet, don't make a sound."

You Nu Zhihui frowned.

He felt every nerve in his body being assaulted by the sound waves.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

Princess Ichikishima trembled with fear.

Yu Nuzhihui's expression became even more unpleasant.

Although this snake queen begged for mercy quickly, she never admitted defeat easily.

Forget it.

Zhihui, the oil-loving woman, was already used to it.

He stood up and walked step by step to the window.

Outside the window stretched an endless expanse of yellow sand.

Oil Girl Zhihui calculated the time and found that half an hour had already passed.

During this time, Princess Ichikishima heard the story of the flood at Jinshan Temple five times.

Given White Zetsu's speed, the Akatsuki organization may have already received news of Sasori and Deidara's defeat.

Princess Ichikishima was too short and was suspended in mid-air, clinging to the window to barely see the scenery outside.

To prevent her from falling, Zhihui held her with both hands.

He raised an eyebrow.

In his line of sight, he could see the veins bulging beneath Princess Ichikishima's fair skin.

Is it just a lack of achievement?

Yu Nu Zhihui felt that the previous "rough and wild hero" was triggered too early.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a desert."

Princess Ichikishima wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

"It's hot, isn't it?"

Yu Nu Zhihui described her feelings: "It felt like being in a sauna, enveloped in heat, and extremely stuffy."

Princess Ichikishima nodded vigorously.

Her gaze suddenly sharpened.

In the desert, a fox is running.

It was quickly caught by a lone wolf, whose astonishing bite force, combined with its sharp teeth, killed it instantly.

Blood splattered everywhere, covering the ground.

"That's really cruel."

"I feel very emotional," said Zhihui, the oil-producing woman.

"Master...I want to rest..."

Princess Ichikishima closed her eyes and went limp in Aburame Shiki's arms.

"Have you fainted from the heat? The sunlight is definitely too strong."

Yu Nu Zhihui was somewhat surprised.

He shook his head and placed Princess Ichikishima on the bed.

As for him, he went to the bathroom.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he immediately felt refreshed and relaxed.

"You get some rest, I'm going out for a bit."

Aburame Shiki glanced at the delicate and frail Ichikishima-hime and spoke gently.

Although she is a snake princess, and is affected by the snake-controlling gu, she is obedient and sensible in all aspects except for being completely ignorant.

Aburame Shiki closed the door and left the hotel.

Before leaving, he said goodbye to Shino Aburame.

If Gaara comes over, tell him he's resting and not to disturb him.

Under normal circumstances, one would naturally not dare to neglect a Wind Shadow.

But now, it doesn't matter if we neglect it.

Mistbird Gu!

A wisp of mist transformed into a swallow, hovering above the head of the oil-loving Zhihui.

Although its range is not as wide as Karin's Kagura Mind's Eye, it is not much different, and it is quite convenient for finding people.

"Have they already engaged in combat?"

Oil Girl Zhihui was not entirely surprised.

Just like in the original work, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki used the Transformation Technique.

Without a doubt, they were originally there to meet up with Sasori and Deidara.

But now they've encountered Kakashi Hatake and Team 7.

Oil Girl Zhihui rushed over immediately.

However, he did so to watch the show and to prevent new Akatsuki members from appearing.

After all, the situation is completely different now.

[Achieve the achievement "Xu Xian of the Ninja World" and receive the reward "Swallowing River Toad".]

[The River-Swallowing Toad: A fifth-level Gu worm that feeds on water. It contains a river within its body, which it can conjure up into a vast swamp when it spits it out.]

The words that suddenly appeared made You Nu Zhihui pause in surprise.

Although this achievement came late, it was within his expectations.

To his surprise, the reward was actually the River-Swallowing Toad.

This Gu worm is quite special; it is from the wild and is enormous, unlike the other Gu worms which are quite small.

However, to be fair, it is quite aggressive.

It can spit out a river in an instant, or swallow a river in a flash.

Yu Nu Zhihui suddenly let out a soft "Eh".

This river-swallowing toad has arrived at just the right time.

What does Sunagakure lack most?

That is undoubtedly fresh water.

With the River-Swallowing Toad, we can carry out a water diversion project.

Of course, it depends on what price Sunagakure is willing to pay for this.

With Sasori of the Red Sand added to the mix, Shiki Aburame could easily extort a hefty sum from him.

……

Half an hour ago.

Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki walked into the desert.

According to Akatsuki's plan, Sasori and Deidara would head to the Land of Rivers after capturing Gaara.

There, the Akatsuki members will use the Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon to extract the One-Tailed Shukaku and seal it within the Gedo Mazo.

The Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon requires ten ninjas to perform simultaneously and will take several days to complete.

Of course, it's fine if the original ninja isn't present, but they must be top-tier ninjas.

The fewer the number of people, the longer it will take.

In the original work, it took nine people three days to perform the technique.

Because it takes a long time, in order to avoid being pursued, members will use the Elephant Transformation Technique to buy time.

Kisame Hoshigaki is known as the tailless tailed beast, possessing astonishing chakra within him.

Even 30% is enough for him to unleash his full potential.

Therefore, Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha were sent out to provide backup.

"Mr. Itachi."

Kisame Hoshigaki asked, "Did you say their mission was successful?"

"With their strength, dealing with Gaara wouldn't be difficult."

Itachi Uchiha said calmly.

He was thinking about a problem.

If Gaara were captured, would Sunagakure ask Konoha for help?

He thought about it carefully and figured it was most likely.

The Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Leaf Village had previously formed an alliance.

Moreover, without contacting Konoha, they have no way to rescue Gaara.

So who will Konoha send?

Itachi Uchiha hadn't expected Sasuke Uchiha to be involved.

He was thinking about how to release water and transmit more intelligence.

"Once one of the tailed beasts is captured, it's the others' turn."

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned and asked, "Do you think the leader will send us to capture the Nine-Tails?"

"have no idea."

Itachi Uchiha glanced at him and said calmly.

"Mr. Itachi, would you like to capture the Nine-Tails?"

Kisame Hoshigaki asked meaningfully.

"To me, all the tailed beasts are the same."

Itachi Uchiha said expressionlessly.

Just then, not far from them, there was movement beneath the yellow sand.

Kisame Hoshigaki instinctively gripped Samehada.

"It's a White Zetsu."

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly and asked, "Has something happened?"

White Zetsu emerged from the ground.

It approached the two men and said in a deep voice, "Deidara and Sasori are dead."

"What?"

Kisame Hoshigaki was taken aback.

The members of the Akatsuki organization are all unruly individuals with extremely strong abilities.

Although Kisame Hoshigaki disliked them, he had to admit their strength.

"What happened?"

Itachi Uchiha also showed a look of surprise.

"It's Shiki Aburame, the Sixth Hokage of Konoha Village."

White Zetsu explained, "He arrived suddenly, killed Sasori, and forced Deidara to self-destruct."

"Yu-Nai Shiki?"

Kisame Hoshigaki looked puzzled and asked, "Is he alone?"

"Yes."

White Zetsu nodded.

"How is this possible?"

Kisame Hoshigaki's tone was filled with disbelief.

Even he would find it difficult to defeat Scorpion.

Not to mention there's also Deidara.

Itachi Uchiha was startled.

Has that boy grown up to this extent without anyone noticing?

Thinking back to his conversation with Zhihui the oil lady, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"And he wasn't injured."

White Zetsu added, "Your past is meaningless."

"You're not injured?"

Kisame Hoshigaki blurted out, "Are you kidding me?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Bai Jue answered with absolute certainty.

Kisame.

Itachi Uchiha shook his head and said, "Mission complete, let's return to the Land of Rivers."

"..."

Kisame Hoshigaki hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Someone's there!"

White Zetsu suddenly warned, "Four ninjas are coming towards you; they are ninjas from Konoha Village."

"They came so fast!"

Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at Itachi Uchiha instinctively.

Normally, it shouldn't have come this fast.

Itachi Uchiha noticed his suspicious look, but he was also confused.

This time it really wasn't him.

"White Zetsu, go back and inform the leader and the others."

Uchiha Itachi said without changing his expression, "Leave the ninjas of Konoha to us."

"Alright then."

Without further delay, Bai Jue disappeared into the ground.

"Mr. Itachi, do you want to kill them?"

Kisame Hoshigaki asked with a smile.

"nature."

Itachi Uchiha answered.

But the next moment, his expression changed slightly.

A piercing bird cry rang out.

In the distance, a bolt of lightning was hurtling toward them at an incredible speed.

"Is that Chidori?"

Kisame Hoshigaki's face lit up with eager anticipation. "Is that Kakashi Hatake?"

Before the joint Chunin Exams, he and Itachi Uchiha had visited Konoha Village once.

He had fought against Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy.

But it was very short and not very enjoyable.

Itachi Uchiha did not answer.

If it's Kakashi Hatake, then it's Team 7.

In other words, he will meet Uchiha Sasuke.

The two had last met three years ago.

For a moment, Itachi Uchiha's feelings were complicated.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

With a roar, the lightning struck the ground.

Kisame Hoshigaki immediately became interested.

It turned out to be Uchiha Sasuke.

"After all these years, you still haven't improved."

Itachi Uchiha looked at Sasuke Uchiha and said coldly, "How can you become stronger if you can't control your emotions?"

"Shut up!"

Sasuke Uchiha's Lightning Fire Sword pierced out like lightning.

At the same time, the sound of birdsong reappeared.

Countless bolts of lightning, like flowing water, coiled around Uchiha Sasuke.

"Mr. Itachi, please."

Kisame Hoshigaki readily made way for him.

Magical Shackles Technique!

Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha stared at each other.

His three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly trembled, and an invisible ocular power spread out.

However, Sasuke Uchiha was unaffected.

The Thunderfire Sword struck Uchiha Itachi.

The next moment, a jet-black crow flew out.

Itachi Uchiha's body appeared on the other side.

His face was filled with surprise.

Why didn't his Magical Shackles Technique work?

Although he couldn't use the Mangekyou Sharingan under the Transformation Technique, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan should still be effective.

Unless... he thought of the only possibility.

"Isn't that surprising?"

Sasuke Uchiha's lips curled up, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

"You have indeed improved, being able to evade my illusion."

Itachi Uchiha's expression remained unchanged. "Let me see how much you can handle now."

Sasuke Uchiha's face immediately darkened.

It was precisely because of his so-called magnanimity that Itachi Uchiha killed Fugaku Uchiha and defected from Konoha.

But now he doesn't need that kind of magnanimity, and he has also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Hahaha!"

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, mocking, "What kind of magnanimity is this? How pathetic!"

Three tomoe slowly appeared in his eyes, rotating and connecting into one.

"The Kaleidoscope Sharingan?"

Itachi Uchiha was startled.

"These...these are the same eyes as Itachi's?"

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was watching the show, couldn't help but take it seriously.

He knew very well how powerful Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan was.

Now that Sasuke Uchiha has also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and given that both of them are in the Transcendental Form, it will be very difficult for them to escape.

and many more!

Kisame Hoshigaki turned his head and saw Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and Karin.

This is going to be a problem.

"I obtained these eyes without killing any Uchiha clan ninjas."

Sasuke Uchiha demanded, "Itachi Uchiha! How are you feeling right now? Do you regret it? Hahahaha!"

"What's wrong with Sasuke?"

Naruto scratched his head.

This was the first time he had ever seen Sasuke Uchiha laugh so wildly.

Kakashi Hatake sighed inwardly.

Although he was laughing hysterically, he wasn't truly happy.

You can tell from his conversation with Itachi Uchiha.

Kakashi Hatake suddenly remembered Obito Uchiha.

He used to laugh like that too.

But it was a happy laugh on his face.

For example, his maniacal laughter after winning, even after he deliberately let the opponent win.

"We don't need to worry about him; he probably doesn't want us to get involved anyway."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said, "Our target is Kisame Hoshigaki."

Itachi Uchiha felt a tremor in his heart.

Sasuke Uchiha's words really touched a nerve.

But his expression remained unchanged.

"regret?"

Itachi Uchiha shook his head and said, "I'm very happy because by taking your eyes, I can obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

"An eternal kaleidoscope?"

Uchiha Sasuke was taken aback.

"That's right, those are eyes that surpass the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Itachi Uchiha smiled. "I have to thank you. I was so foolish..."

"In that case, I can do it too."

Sasuke Uchiha interrupted him, saying, "As long as I take your eyes."

"That's definitely possible."

Itachi Uchiha said coldly, "But can you even do it? I'm too foolish..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed an unprecedented crisis.

Behind him, a cold glint appeared first, followed by countless sword lights.

"Mr. Itachi!"

Kisame Hoshigaki was about to come to the rescue, but Naruto Uzumaki had already rushed up.

Leaf Village Whirlwind!

The immense force forced Kisame Hoshigaki to retreat.

Silent lightning flashed.

Kakashi Hatake appeared behind him and attacked.

Although he possessed almost all of his power in his transformed form, he was still at a disadvantage against Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hatake.

Naruto Uzumaki possesses the Eight Gates and the power of the Nine-Tails.

Kakashi Hatake, on the other hand, possesses a Dragon Vein power bank.

Kisame Hoshigaki's massive chakra reserves were thus rendered ineffective.

The crows took flight again.

Itachi Uchiha looked at Sasuke Uchiha with lingering fear.

Space-time ninjutsu?

Or is it a Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique?

He had no time to think, because the attack came again.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Having learned from his first experience, Itachi Uchiha reacted quickly and launched a counterattack.

A large fireball flew out and crashed into the sword shadow flashing with lightning.

"Too slow! Uchiha Itachi!"

Sasuke Uchiha's voice sounded behind him.

Uchiha Itachi instinctively turned his head and saw that he was surrounded by sword light, completely sealing him off.

How could it be so fast?

His face darkened. He had just finished forming the hand seals and there was no time to continue.

With a flick of his wrist, six kunai flew out, while his body retreated.

The kunai was immediately thrown away, but fortunately it stopped the Thunderfire Sword for a moment.

Itachi Uchiha escaped the range of the sword light.

With a flash of lightning, the Thousand Birds transformed into a lightning spear, piercing straight through his chest.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Uchiha Itachi grunted.

"What's wrong with you?"

Sasuke Uchiha realized the problem. "Are you looking down on me, you bastard! Why aren't you using your Mangekyou Sharingan?!"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Some are intelligent, but not many.

"Then go die!"

Seeing his silence, Sasuke Uchiha didn't say anything more.

He took a step forward, and the Thunderfire Sword in his hand emitted a piercing thunderous sound.

During the sprint, he drew his second sword.

It was reforged from the Raito Kiba, one of the Seven Ninja Swords.

He named himself Lei Yue.

With both swords in hand, they clashed directly together.

Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Tornado!

Streaks of lightning flashed through the air and transformed into a lightning dragon in the blink of an eye.

Itachi Uchiha quickly formed hand seals.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

He opened his mouth and spewed out a fire dragon.

When the two collided, kicking up dust, the lightning moon on Sasuke's hand disappeared.

It transformed into lightning, appeared behind Itachi Uchiha, and then pierced his body.

Lightning flashed, flowing through his blood and coursing throughout his body.

Uchiha Itachi coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

"I won?"

Sasuke Uchiha was somewhat incredulous at the sight.

That's far too easy.

You've grown a lot.

Itachi Uchiha paused for a moment, then said, "I will come to find you soon."

In his vision, Sasuke Uchiha's growth was divided into three parts.

The first part, a showdown between brothers, provides him with ample stimulation.

In the second part, someone tells him the truth about Fugaku Uchiha's death and his defection, causing him to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

In the third part, I gave him my eyes so that he could advance to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

But now plans can't keep up with changes.

Sasuke Uchiha has already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan ahead of schedule.

He can proceed directly to the last two parts.

However, he still had some things to take care of before he died.

"What do you mean?"

Sasuke Uchiha rushed forward and asked, "Where is your real body?!"

"How foolish I was..."

Itachi Uchiha closed his eyes.

His body underwent a change, and he became an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

He also has the Sand Village headband on his forehead.

Like the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, the Transformation Technique requires a living person as a sacrifice.

"Damn it!"

Uchiha Sasuke finally understood.

He quickly got up and looked around, but there was no sign of Itachi Uchiha.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

Sasuke Uchiha shouted defiantly, "I will definitely kill you!"

But the next second, his voice was drowned out.

"Aaaaaah!"

Naruto Uzumaki clenched his fists and roared, "Eight Gates! Sixth Gate! Open!"

Uchiha Sasuke was slightly taken aback and subconsciously turned his head.

On the battlefield not far away, the former desert has been replaced by the sea.

Naruto Uzumaki's hair stood on end, and an astonishing surge of chakra energy shot into the sky.

The surrounding seawater spread outwards.

With a loud bang!

Naruto Uzumaki charged towards Kisame Hoshigaki like a cannonball.

Morning Peacock!

Countless fists were thrown out, and the friction with the air actually produced flames.

Kisame Hoshigaki was hit before he even had time to react.

Flames danced around him.

From a distance, it looks just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Sasuke Uchiha's gaze sharpened.

This was the first time he had seen Naruto use the Sixth Gate.

The speed was so fast that even his Mangekyou Sharingan could hardly capture the trajectory of all the fists.

The slight smugness from just defeating Itachi Uchiha's Elephant Transformation form vanished.

Kakashi Hatake wasn't surprised.

Given Naruto's talent and physique, it's perfectly normal for him to open the sixth gate.

Kisame Hoshigaki's corpse fell down and transformed into the appearance of a young man.

"They are ninjas from Sunagakure."

Kakashi Hatake glanced at it, then said thoughtfully, "It should be a special kind of clone technique."

"Karin".

"Use your sensory ninjutsu quickly! They might be nearby!" Sasuke Uchiha exclaimed impatiently.

Karin nodded slightly.

She closed her eyes.

"It's...Shiki-kun!"

Karin suddenly revealed an excited smile.

"Zhihui?"

Kakashi Hatake paused, then asked, "Where is he?"

"It's over there!"

Karin quickly waved and shouted, "Shiki-kun!"

Oil Girl Zhihui walked out with a smile.

"Zhihui-kun, when did you arrive?"

Karin resisted the urge to rush up and hug him, and asked instead.

"For a while."

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui replied."

In fact, he was looking at the words that appeared in front of him.

[Achieve the achievement "My Foolish Younger Brother" by Uchiha Itachi, and receive the reward "Wandering Gu".]

【Wandering Gu: A fifth-tier Gu worm used for on-the-spot evasion.】

It has very few words, but the effect is powerful.

In simple terms, the "Wandering Gu" is like a teleportation effect.

In battle, it's incredibly useful.

"Did you see their true forms?"

Uchiha Sasuke quickly asked.

"no."

Aburame Shiki speculated, "This must be a kind of long-range clone technique; their true forms are not in the Land of Wind."

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke gripped the Lightning Fire Sword tightly, his face grim.

"Don't worry."

Aburame Shiki glanced at him and said, "The Akatsuki has already taken action; you won't be long before you see them."

Although Sasuke Uchiha was unwilling, he could only suppress his anger for the time being.

"Let's go back to Sunagakure."

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui said."

……

An underground base.

Pain stood still, closing his eyes to rest.

He was waiting for Sasori and Deidara to arrive at the designated location.

Footsteps sounded.

Xiao Nan, dressed in a red cloud-patterned outfit, walked in.

Her usually calm face showed a rare hint of gloom.

"What happened?"

Pain glanced at her and asked a question.

"Sasori and Deidara died in Sunagakure."

Konan said solemnly, "It was Konoha's Hokage, Shiki Aburame, who came to their rescue and killed them."

The atmosphere suddenly became suffocating.

Xiao Nan felt a little out of breath.

"Is that Aburame Shiki?"

Pain was silent for a moment, then said, "That's somewhat unexpected."

"What should we do now?"

Xiao Nan frowned and asked.

"Leave Sunagakure and Konoha untouched for now; I'll handle them."

Pain said indifferently, "You go recruit people, and they go capture the remaining tailed beasts."

Judging from Aburame Shiki's strength, if he could kill Sasori and Deidara, he could kill most of the Akatsuki members.

Since that's the case, let's leave it for last to avoid further manpower loss.

After all, there are quantity requirements for the Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon.

Four in one.
