Live stream of Naruto's Nine Gates Prison, Uchiha explodes

A response came from the sky to the Five-Tails—

"Heh heh, there's something even more awesome—Water Release: Great Exploding Water Wave!"

With a roar like a shark, a massive torrent of water plunged down, accurately striking the five-tailed creature and suppressing it completely.

"Hey! No! Wait a minute—"

The five tails fought back fiercely, but they were no match for the pressure of the water and were engulfed by it, with nowhere to escape.

"Um?!"

Onoki raised an eyebrow, activated Light-Heavy Rock, and flew up, where he saw Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha flying in the air.

"As expected, the Akatsuki members have arrived."

Onoki sized up the two of them.

"Wait a minute, how did you guys get flying? The intelligence didn't say you could fly!"

"Never mind all that nonsense, just take on Seven Sang. This old man is yours, I'll deal with the one below!"

The Ōnoki vine bursts forth.

"Oh ho, you look down on this old man?"

As Onoki spoke, his hands were also busy, his fingers flying like butterflies, finally clasping his hands together—

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"

A white cube appeared in mid-air, emitting a dazzling white light.

Yellow Earth and Black Earth knew that Onoki had used Dust Release.

"Dad used Dust Release right from the start; it seems this opponent is going to be quite formidable."

"However, if Father's Dust Release hits, no one can escape unscathed!"

Kurotsuchi pointed to Kisame Hoshigaki, who had fallen from the sky into the water, and asked, "What if you missed?"

"...If we miss, we'll take care of it!"

Huang Tu took out his phone and entered his angry father mode.

……

In the Land of Water, in a secluded grove.

Yu Gao hid in the woods, quietly waiting for someone to arrive.

"Should I say you're brave or reckless, daring to stay here alone?"

Yu Gao knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Turning his head, he saw an old man and an old woman standing there quietly watching him.

"Sasori of Hiruko, and... Chiyo of Sunagakure. It's said that Sunagakure often mistreated you, which is why you defected from the village. They are truly blind."

Chiyo shrugged.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"Instead of going back to the village to enjoy protection, you've been hiding in this forest all this time. I really don't know what you're thinking, Six-Tails Jinchuriki."

Yu Gao paused for a moment.

"I have my own choices... If I die here, it's just because I'm not good enough."

The two old men laughed.

"Six-Tails Jinchuriki... You don't need to say that."

"Standing before you is a ninja who has lived for decades, a living legendary puppeteer of the ninja world—"

Under Yu Gao's horrified gaze, the forest began to move.

The trees in the "forest" rise from the ground and transform into puppets, floating in mid-air awaiting the puppeteer's commands.

Yu Gao took a few steps back in alarm.

"The forest I've been hiding in... it's actually made of your puppets?!"

"Don't feel inferior. Facing a legendary puppeteer, defeat is to be expected."

Before Yu Gao's horrified eyes, countless puppets rushed down...

……

Takigaku Village.

"Let me out! Let me out!"

Feng pounded on the door, shouting, "Shibuki! Let me out! When the Akatsuki arrives, they'll destroy this place!"

Shemu leaned against the door, tilting her head back to keep her tears from falling.

"Feng, this is everyone's decision; we're going to let you live."

"What are you saying! Shibuki! Open the door now! Only then can Takigakure be safe! Hurry!"

Feng tried to mobilize his chakra, but felt that the chakra in his body was like silt, unable to flow even a little bit.

"I have placed a seal on you, and this seal will not be broken unless certain conditions are met."

"Shibuki! Help me untie this! Shibuki! Shibuki!!"

A ninja approached Shibuki and whispered a few words in his ear.

"……knew."

Shibuki stood up, took a couple of steps, and then turned to look at the ninja who had delivered the message.

"...Thank you."

The ninja smiled.

"You're welcome, village chief."

Shibuki nodded and left.

Takigakure Village is shrouded by a huge waterfall, with rugged terrain that makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is precisely because of this that Takigakure Village, nestled between four major powers, has been able to remain peaceful to this day.

"Unfortunately, this peace is about to be shattered today."

Kakuzu clenched his fist, a hint of nostalgia in his expression.

"Hey, Kakuzu, you don't actually still have feelings for your old village, do you?"

"Emotions? If anger can be considered one, then of course it is."

Kakuzu's expression darkened as soon as he mentioned Takigakure.

"When Takigakure sent me to assassinate the First Hokage, I failed, and they actually locked me up in jail, saying they'd hand me over to Konoha in exchange for a reward!"

"So, I stole the village's secret technique, the black thread that was often used to sew your body, and became a bounty hunter until I was recruited into the Akatsuki organization by Pain."

At this point, Kakuzu's face showed a look of nostalgia.

"Speaking of which, the former leader has been dead for quite some time. I wonder how he's doing in the Pure Land."

Hidan looked completely unconcerned.

"Anyway, we can still see him in the sky, so it doesn't really matter whether he's dead or not, right?"

"That's true..."

The two walked and talked until they finally arrived at the waterfall.

"arrive."

Kakuzu and Hidan exchanged a glance and revealed an evil smile.

……

Yunyin Village

"Yay, the cow is mooing yay~ oh-yeah!"

Without glancing at Kirabi, who was singing, dancing, and rapping on stage, Mabui remained silent, focusing solely on revising the documents in her hands.

In preparation for an attack by the Akatsuki organization, the Hidden Cloud Village has recently strengthened its defenses.

Not only were more people added to each post, but patrols were also conducted 24 hours a day inside and outside the village. And every now and then a flash of lightning would appear. That was not a shooting star from Kumogakure, but the light of Kumogakure—the Fourth Raikage, A.

As a result, the consumption has increased significantly. Mabuyi must accurately calculate the resources and manpower required for each position and then immediately make arrangements so that the village can still maintain basic operations under high intensity.

Of course, having an audience for Kirabi's concert is also essential, and since there was really no one available, Mabui took on the role himself.

Just as Killer Bee reached the climax of his song, the Raikage returned.

Maintaining high-intensity movement every day is also very tiring for him. After each patrol, the Raikage would have a delicious meal to quickly restore the energy he had consumed.

This is also what Mabuyi needs to prepare.

Mabuyi clapped his hands twice, and someone brought over a large plate of beef for Raikage to enjoy.

This is high-grade Wagyu beef from Kumogakure, the kind that could be given as a wedding gift to Naruto.

"Has the Akatsuki organization not arrived yet today?"

Raikage casually grabbed a handful of beef, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it instantly.

"No, news about the Jinchuriki from other ninja villages is being relayed back, so we should have news soon."

Meanwhile, the ninjas who were supposed to be delivering information, as mentioned by Mabui, were being bound by clay centipedes and subjected to artistic bondage play by Xiaodi.

"Seriously, they're giving all this hard work to someone like me who can fly. Can't our Akatsuki recruit another one who can fly?!"
