Suddenly, a voice rang out from above, startling everyone. They immediately scattered and looked up.
However, they were stunned when they saw who it was.
"Neji, it's you."
At this moment, Neji was hanging upside down from the ceiling, looking sadly at the dozen or so people below.
"With so few people, how can they fight against the Akatsuki?" Ning Ci shook his head, feeling greatly disappointed.
The entire Akatsuki organization has arrived, so why do Konoha and Sunagakure still only have so few people?
"Neji, you're back. What about Gaara...?" Temari stepped forward and said nervously.
Before Temari could finish speaking, Neji extinguished her hope.
"I'm sorry, I can't save Gaara by myself."
Temari's expression froze, and she lowered her head in disappointment.
"Besides, if you only have this many people going, you might as well just hand Naruto over to the Akatsuki as well."
"What? Wait! Neji, did you already go and save Gaara?" Tenten asked, startled.
"It wasn't really a rescue; I just took a quick look and came back," Neji said expressionlessly.
"I just glanced at him..." Naruto was stunned for a moment, then angrily cursed, "You bastard, since you've already gone, bring Gaara back! You idiot!!"
Neji chuckled and flicked his finger, instantly unleashing an unimaginable and terrifying power from his body. A white mist seemed to appear all around, constantly impacting Kakashi and the others.
"Wow, what a terrifying aura." Kakashi was sweating profusely, his heart pounding wildly, and the others weren't much better off.
"Is this Neji's strength?"
Just two years ago, they were partners doing missions together, but now Neji has clearly reached a level they could never have imagined.
"Since you have this power, bring Gaara back!" Naruto roared.
"Even if I possess this power, I'm not confident I can take Gaara from them!" Neji withdrew his aura and said in a deep voice.
"what?!"
The group of people stood there dumbfounded. Having such terrifying power wasn't enough? Just how strong were the Akatsuki members?
“But the guy who fought Gaara earlier was clearly no match for him. Even if Sasori were here, with your strength, it should be easy for you.”
Maki was sweating profusely. Although he didn't want to admit it, Neji's strength was far greater than that of their Kazekage.
Defeating eight Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage, and slaying Moryo, all these deeds prove this point.
"Heh, you underestimate the Akatsuki too much." Neji sneered, "There are even beings among them who surpass the 'Kage,' and some even have the strength to wipe out an entire village."
“This time they sealed the One-Tailed Beast and gathered all their members. Even I wouldn’t dare to face them head-on, let alone you, who only have a dozen or so people.”
"what?!"
The question contained so much, it completely stunned them.
"Then, is there really nothing we can do?"
Neji pointed to his finger and said, "There are two options. One is to gather at least seven Kage-level ninjas and forcibly take back Gaara. The other is to wait until they finish sealing him, retrieve Gaara's body, and find a way to revive him."
Chapter 133 Battlefields of All Sides
The art of resurrecting people...
Everyone was stunned; they had never heard of such a thing before.
"Is there really a ninjutsu that can bring the dead back to life?" Lee asked, raising his hand.
"Ah, they're all just life-for-life ninjutsu," Neji replied. Whether it's Reincarnation of My Own Life, Reincarnation of the Dragon, or Outer Path: Samsara of Heaven, they all require a life as the price.
"More than that, Neji, I'm curious about where you get your information from?" Kakashi asked seriously.
"That's my secret. In short, you only have these two paths to take." Neji rolled over and landed in the hospital corridor, looking at these people calmly.
Honestly, being upside down like that made my head spin a bit, and I almost blurted out the whole Pain and Obito thing on a whim.
"Seven Kage-level ninjas..." Kakashi pondered. The path to resurrection was out of the question. Even if such a ninjutsu existed, they wouldn't be able to find it. Besides, who would be willing to trade their own life for someone else's?
However... seven Kage-level ninjas, that seems even more impossible.
Do you think Kage-level ninjas are as common as cabbages?!
While it's possible to gather ninjas of similar caliber from Konoha and Sunagakure, that's impossible, as it would leave the village essentially weak.
Everyone fell silent.
Neji knew from the situation that it was hopeless, and cursed inwardly, "They're just seven Kage-level ninjas, why are they being so stingy?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have placed my hopes on them," Neji muttered to himself, wondering whether he should call Mei Terumi and Guren out to help.
"Neji, is there really no other way?" Temari asked worriedly.
Neji glanced at her, then turned to Kakashi and the others and asked, "Can't Hinata and the others come?"
"Um... Konoha was just attacked by the Land of Sky, and we're short-handed..."
"It seems this is the only way. Are there any survivors among those guys who were buried in Sunagakure by Sasori?" Neji said helplessly, looking at Temari.
Yes, it is, but what do you want to do with it?
“Take me to your father’s grave.”
Everyone: "???"
Following Temari to the Fourth Kazekage's grave, Neji took some of his blood, and then, taking advantage of Temari's inattention, disappeared into the vortex.
However, he reappeared in Sunagakure not long after, but this time he was accompanied by two female ninjas wearing masks.
"Neji, who are they?"
At the entrance to Sunagakure, Kakashi looked at the two masked, unidentified ninjas in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
"They are the helpers I called in," Neji said calmly. "They are also an indispensable fighting force in this plan."
Everyone nodded. Although they didn't know the exact strength of the two women, since Neji had entrusted them with such an important task, they must be very capable.
However, everyone looked at Neji and the two women with suspicion, wondering why their relationship seemed unusual.
"Alright, let's go and rescue Gaara as soon as possible."
The journey alone would take a lot of time, and Neji had no time to waste here.
He glanced back at the people behind him, feeling a pang of sadness, and thought to himself, "You guys better step up. I've already shown Mei Terumi and Guren my Hollowfication abilities."
It should be noted that this was one of his trump cards. Everyone who had seen it was dead. It was fortunate that Neji trusted the two women, otherwise he might have really thought of killing them to silence them or placing a restriction on them.
Time flew by, and two days later, Neji and his group arrived at their destination.
"From now on, proceed according to plan," Neji instructed, turning back before leaping forward and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Black Zetsu also noticed all of this and said, "Someone is coming. It's Sand Ninja and Konoha people."
"Is that so? How many have come?" Payne said calmly, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow. With his strength, dealing with these people was only a matter of time.
"Hmm, eleven people, and the people who came are old acquaintances of Itachi and Kisame."
"An old acquaintance?" Kisame grinned, a glint of light flashing in his dead fish eyes.
"Eleven? Is that all? Heh heh, it's time I made them marvel at the power of the evil god." Hidan laughed bloodthirstyly.
"Don't lose sight of the bigger picture; the seal on the first tail isn't even complete yet."
“It’s time to use that technique. The Transformation Technique can create a clone that has 30% of the original’s chakra. However, I can only create two right now. Who among you wants to stop them?” Pain glanced at the crowd and said slowly.
“I’ll go,” Kisame said first. “I also want to see that man who kicked me again.”
"In that case, I'll go too," Itachi said calmly.
"Ah, it's up to you now."
……
In the dense forest, Kakashi, Naruto, Might Guy, and Rock Lee were walking through the woods when a raging fireball suddenly attacked from afar, instantly turning the dense forest in front of them into a complete mess.
Kakashi and Might Guy's pupils suddenly contracted, and they immediately stepped in front of them.
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"
"Konoha Power Cyclone!"
The two forces collided head-on, and Kakashi and the others instantly stopped on the tree branches beneath their feet, staring intently at the figures in front of them.
"Itachi!"
"It's been a long time, Kakashi," Itachi said, without any emotion.
"Just as Neji said." Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and a large amount of lightning immediately gathered in his palm.
Raikiri!
"Although I have many questions, unfortunately, I don't have time. Make way, Itachi!"
Kakashi had somehow pulled up his Konoha headband, revealing his Sharingan, and looked at Itachi as if facing a formidable enemy.
"I'm sorry, my mission is to stop you," Itachi said calmly.
"Then you might as well die, Rasengan!" Naruto's eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Itachi, because it was because of him that Sasuke had betrayed Konoha.
Instantly, he formed a dumpling in his palm and swept past Kakashi, arriving in front of Itachi.
"You've changed too, Naruto." Itachi instantly sprang into the air and ran off into the distance.
"Don't run!" Naruto roared, rushing forward without thinking.
"Naruto!" Kakashi rushed over immediately upon seeing this.
"Li, we too..."
"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"
Before Might Guy could finish speaking, a shark-shaped water bullet rushed towards him, and hidden inside was another member of the Akatsuki.
Kisame grinned and chuckled in a low voice: "I won't let you pass."
Meanwhile, Sakura, Tenten, Temari, Chiyo, Mei Terumi, and Guren had arrived at the gates of the Akatsuki organization and were about to rush in when they suddenly discovered that strange white humanoid creatures were slowly rising from the ground around them.
