In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

"okay, I get it."

Azure roared, and the magic circle in her hand was like a magic wand, revealing seven colors. Soon, a highly elastic energy ball the size of a ball was quickly thrown towards Yoriichi.

However, these attacks naturally did not land on Yoriichi; instead, they struck Manda's solid scales, gradually leaving dense, intricate marks.

Azure scoffed and continued searching for a breakthrough with Manda. This powerful summoning beast of Ryuchi Cave was extraordinary; it could even withstand the power of Deidara's self-destruction ultimate technique.

As a time traveler, Azure understood this.

Another point is that he must always be careful, as Yoriichi is extremely cunning and could come out at any time to ambush him.

Despite his murderous intent and protective shield, if this kid were to use any kind of transparency skill, it would be extremely damaging to him!

"Yoriichi, come out here! You coward!" Azure roared to the sky.

A moment later, a familiar figure appeared behind him.

Yoriichi held a long sword, his black robe fluttering in the moonlight. The long blade was sharp, gleaming white light as he slashed fiercely at the azure.

"Aren't you afraid of my killing intent reflecting back?" Azure smiled, and a red crystal block condensed in her hand. This crystal block was very large, larger than Deidara's and Kisame's!

With a flick of his finger, a powerful burst of fiery chakra instantly enveloped Yoriichi's body.

The sound of flames burning bones rang out, and Yoriichi's body transformed into flames as he fell from the sky, looking like a phoenix from a distance.

"You shouldn't be that weak, right?" Azure immediately became suspicious. He continued to charge at Yoriichi, while keeping a close watch on Yoriichi's penetrating attacks.

"Spatial Compression!" Fang Zun made his move, beginning to compress the azure space.

"Ridiculous!" Azure unleashed his power, and the red defensive shield rapidly expanded around him, instead repelling the Space-Time Cube.

"Hmph, nothing special." Azure chuckled.

His defensive shield had already been severely damaged, and his long-accumulated killing intent struck himself, consuming a large amount of killing intent to create a shield.

Yoriichi's actions directly destroyed five years' worth of his killing intent energy and left him covered in wounds.

But no matter how powerful he is, he still has at least a decade or so of killing intent energy left.

Azure was furious. He had to quickly defeat all the obstacles in his way. A flea like Yoriichi could not be allowed to continue jumping around in his presence!

"See you in the next life!" Azure, wielding a blade, fiercely slashed at Yoriichi amidst the raging flames.

But an incredible scene unfolded: Yoriichi, engulfed in flames, suddenly transformed into a large number of crows.

Uchiha Itachi stood on the ground and unleashed Amaterasu directly at Azure!

"Goodbye." Yoriichi suddenly appeared behind Azure!

Chapter 158 is all fake.

Cang Lan was shocked. He looked sharply at Yoriichi in front of him, but Yoriichi had transformed into a large number of crows and scattered in all directions. Only then did Cang Lan realize what had happened.

This move is Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu ability!

He's under a spell!

Meanwhile, the real Yoriichi had arrived behind Azure, wielding a flaming longsword. He slashed down from the sky, and a streak of brilliant fire descended, piercing Azure's body.

"Clang!" A sound of steel cutting against each other rang out all around. When they looked again, the blood-red Azure had activated his defensive shield. He held a magic circle in his hand and swung it fiercely at Yoriichi. His clothes were gradually turning black from being burned by Itachi's Amaterasu and Yoriichi's attacks.

Interfering with the light red defensive shield, Amaterasu on his body was blocked, and the magic circle in his hand was aimed at Yoriichi, quickly shooting out several powerful colored flames.

"Your attacks are ineffective against me. After being beaten like this, are you still going to fight back?" Yoriichi questioned Azure.

To defend against the attacks, Azure probably lost several years' worth of killing intent tonight.

Yoriichi's goal was precisely this: to make Azure consume some of his killing intent, which would weaken his abilities to some extent.

Although Azure doesn't have the ability to kill Yoriichi, if his attack comes, Yoriichi will most likely become transparent and retaliate.

However, his defensive shield is not to be underestimated. Unless Yoriichi can unleash the Snake Concealment Technique at all times, he will not be able to defeat Azure quickly.

In this way, with the help of Yoriichi, Itachi Uchiha, and Fang Zun tonight, they will be able to weaken the Azure Shield to some extent.

This is Yoriichi's purpose.

He had Itachi Uchiha summon crows to impersonate him beforehand, causing Aoya to mistakenly believe that Yoriichi had escaped and to defend himself against the crows.

At this point, Itachi Uchiha will appear, and Azure will definitely try to figure out Yoriichi's intentions.

He knew that Yoriichi's transparent attack could pass through his shield, so he guessed that Yoriichi's intention was to draw other people's attention so that he could kill him in one blow.

Yoriichi smiled. His guess was indeed correct; Aoran had seen through Yoriichi's intentions.

However, in his weakened state, he was unable to see through the genjutsu ability. Yoriichi used remote telepathy to communicate with Itachi Uchiha, thus enabling Itachi to carry out his plan.

After learning of Yoriichi's plan, Itachi Uchiha immediately took action, which was the key to defeating Azure!

Yoriichi was not afraid of the risk that Itachi Uchiha would reveal his telepathic abilities; in his view, it didn't matter anymore.

Itachi Uchiha had absolutely no need to report Yoriichi's ability to the Akatsuki organization; his stance was Konoha, not the Akatsuki organization.

As for Konoha Village, it would be difficult for him to convey this message, given his current identity as a Konoha rogue ninja.

Itachi Uchiha had long been prepared to sacrifice himself in the field.

There will only be one time when he believes that Sasuke Uchiha is in danger.

Itachi Uchiha actually returned to Konoha once during this period. It was on the night of the village's annihilation that he first heard about Kenshin Hyuga and learned about Danzo's defection.

This matter worried him, as it might cause Sasuke some trouble. He went to tell the Third Hokage that Itachi Uchiha was still alive and that Sasuke's safety must be ensured.

On that day, he saw the exhausted Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then left in a hurry.

After Hyuga Kenshin's true identity was revealed today, Uchiha Itachi became even more flustered.

Since Yoriichi already knew Itachi's intentions, he would understand how important Sasuke was to him...

It is highly likely that Yoriichi will use Sasuke to blackmail him and exert some control over him.

Uchiha Itachi was terrified. He could only pin his hopes on Konoha Village, because only Konoha Village could save Sasuke.

After all, his power is not as great as Yoriichi's, and these things need to be considered later.

In fact, Itachi Uchiha had also considered joining Yoriichi's side, but the village and Yoriichi were enemies.

This caused Itachi Uchiha great pain. If he had to make such a painful choice again, he wouldn't know what to do.

If he really had to choose between Sasuke and the village, he absolutely could not make that decision.

The night of the genocide was painful enough, but I never expected that something else would happen.

The ninja world is so cruel that it doesn't allow him to make too many choices. He can only be swept along by the times and become a passive retainer.

"I need to become stronger to protect Sasuke." Itachi Uchiha's face grew even more melancholy, and he sighed softly.

He doesn't have the ability to fully protect Uchiha Sasuke right now; he needs to become stronger.

The most urgent task is to survive in this hellish village of Kumogakure.

Kill Azure!

A powerful consciousness rose within Itachi Uchiha, and he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan once more.

"Tsukuyomi!"

A dark background formed around Azure, who had been subjected to a large number of attacks in a short period of time and had now completely lost the ability to defend against illusions.

He was dragged into a terrible hellish arena, surrounded by wandering ghosts who bound him.

On a distant, high mountain peak stood a majestic man with silver eyes, holding a flaming sword and looking at him with pride.

Despite the utter darkness around him, a faint, blinding light rose on his face, obscuring his features so that Azure could not see his cheeks.

“Uchiha Yoriichi!” Cang Lan recognized Yoriichi at a glance. He grinned and stared intently at Yoriichi.

His body was bound and could no longer move, so he set up a large number of defensive shields around himself to protect his body.

Standing next to him, Itachi Uchiha stared at him coldly, and almost everyone present wanted to kill him.

He looked toward the empty space on the other side, where there was a dim photograph. He tried to see what was inside, but he could not make out what was inside.

He opened his eyes wide and finally caught a glimpse of a grinning, dark-skinned man in the corner of the photo—it was Killer Bee.

"Compared?" Cang Lan asked, puzzled.

"Sizzle!" Soon, a corner of the photo, from which he clearly saw Killer Bee, was torn from the photo and slowly floated into the air, landing in the sky behind the unseen Uchiha Yoriichi.

"No! No! Don't go!" Cang Lan's eyes widened.

As Killer Bee was taken away, the position of the photograph shifted, revealing more and more people.

The Fourth Raikage, A, and Darui, the Raikage's right-hand man, were slowly pulled and torn from the photograph, making a crisp tearing sound.

“You…” Cang Lan’s eyes widened slightly, and a desperate smile appeared on his face.

"It's all fake, it's an illusion! An illusion..."

"Hiss..." He looked into the distance and saw a scene that shocked him.

Chapter 159 Dividing the Spoils

In the scene, a corner of darkness was illuminated, and the Fourth Raikage, A, lay face down on the ground, covered in blood and dust, his body trembling uncontrollably. At that moment, Uchiha Yoriichi arrived beside him and unleashed a fierce attack on him.

Ai let out a scream, and then fell silent.

"Lord Raikage!" Azure cried out, refusing to believe what she was seeing.

"You demon!!!" Azure cried out violently.

Until Yoriichi's laughter surrounded him.

Azure struggled desperately, her hands clenching until they bled, but she still couldn't escape the illusion.

So he refused to look anymore, but Uchiha Itachi suddenly appeared beside him, and a long sword slashed down, instantly piercing Azure's throat!

"Ah!" Azure cried out.

"Why... why is the defensive shield useless! Why is my killing intent not working!" Azure howled in agony, blood soaking his throat and staining his shirt.

"This is an illusion. As soon as I regain consciousness, I will wake up immediately!" Azure's will hardened once more.

"I'm the man who's going to conquer the world!" Azure shouted.
