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

For some reason, he could no longer close his eyes. Perhaps this was a genjutsu effect set up for him by Itachi Uchiha and Yoriichi Uchiha!

He could only open his eyes wide again and look ahead. Ai's position gradually disappeared, and the light in his place gradually dimmed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the lights suddenly came on.

Cang Lan was forced to shift his gaze to that side, where a familiar figure appeared before him.

“Darui?” Azure’s gaze was blank as he stared at Darui.

Soon, a man emerged from the darkness, dressed in a black robe; it was none other than Uchiha Yoriichi.

"What are you trying to do!" Azure shouted.

From Yoriichi's perspective, he looked at Darui with a cold smile. Then, Darui's body gradually froze on the spot, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Yoriichi slowly stepped forward and drew the Kusanagi sword, which was adorned with a fire phoenix.

"No!" Cang Lan screamed loudly as she watched this scene.

Yoriichi did not stop. Amidst the awe-inspiring blue, he wielded the Kusanagi sword and hurled the Fire Phoenix directly at Darui. A vast expanse of flames instantly engulfed the dark-skinned man before him.

Despite using black flames to protect himself, he was still unable to stop Yoriichi's flames from spreading.

Azure gradually recognized the power before her as the Celestial Flame Technique!

The storm release flames were no match for the higher-level sage flames, and Darui was instantly engulfed!

The flames scorched his body black, and at the same time, Darui quietly fell down, buried deep underground by Yoriichi using Earth Release ninjutsu.

He lost vital signs.

Just then, the entire arena slowly lit up, and people and ninjas dressed as Hidden Cloud Village walked slowly toward him.

"Lord Azure, we all died here because of you." Their eyes were filled with hatred, and their bodies, like blank ghosts, slowly disappeared.

"No, no, no, it wasn't me who killed you! It was Uchiha Yoriichi!"

Before Cang Lan could refute, their figures all disappeared. A vast despair filled Cang Lan's heart, and his heart shattered instantly, as if it had been hollowed out into an empty shell.

His pale blue eyes were vacant, and the photograph in front of him was illuminated in his vision.

The photo shows him with the members of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Azure was in the very center, above him was Raikage Ai embracing him. Ai's body was slowly burned to ashes by a burst of flames, and he disappeared at the location of the film reel.

To the right of Azure is Darui, who is smiling and looking at what is in front of him. He is a very gentle person who always pays attention to the state of the people around him. His eyes are lowered, and he is smiling while stroking Azure's back with one hand.

His part in the photograph was severed by a gust of wind and drifted into the distance. Yoriichi held the tattered scroll in his hand and then let out a high-pitched voice.

"You have lost, Azure Hunter!"

Immediately afterwards, Killer Bee was forcibly pulled off by Itachi Uchiha and taken to a dark place, where the faint light representing Killer Bee slowly dissipated.

The entire photo was torn to pieces, like crisp, withered yellow leaves in summer, crushed to dust by a shoe.

His azure expression froze at that moment. He stopped struggling and just kept staring at the photograph, tears streaming down his face.

The spirits of the dead gathered around him, and gradually they revealed their true faces—the faces of the ninjas who had died in the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Voice!—" A sound of air being cut rang out, and the scenery in front of them changed drastically in an instant. The original moonlight shone through and shone on Cang Lan's already blank face.

Cang Lan sat blankly on the ground, his gaze seemingly scanning something on the ground. He lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes and flowing outwards, scattering a nest of ants.

Yoriichi stood beside him, sword in hand, with Itachi Uchiha and Fang Zun beside him.

"It seems he's already trapped in a genjutsu?" Yoriichi looked at Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi Uchiha nodded.

"The plan is going smoothly. As expected, the Hunter's Azure Shield is no longer able to completely resist illusions."

"What should we do with this person?" Fang Zun suddenly asked.

He summoned a spacetime cube in his hand, eager to crush Azure to death.

“Such a powerful creature is a menace if left alive; we should kill it quickly!” Fang Zun said.

Suddenly, a burning gaze fell on his face, and Fang Zun felt pressured, looking to the side.

Yoriichi was looking at him with a grin on his face.

"Fang Zun, you are quite clever."

"Yes...yes." Fang Zun's body trembled slightly as he looked at Yuan Yi with a forced smile.

He also sensed a threat from Yoriichi in those words.

A powerful guy is a menace if you keep him around.

“Hey, Yoriichi, how about I work for you from now on?” Fang Zun suddenly said.

Yuan smiled briefly.

"I still think I'd be more satisfied with killing you."

"Holy crap! No way! I can time travel, I know a ton of things, all of which can help you!"

Yoriichi smiled; he was just joking.

He cannot kill Fang Zun. As Fang Zun's current identity within the Akatsuki organization, this is indeed a form of protection for him.

Because of Obito Uchiha alone, Yoriichi absolutely could not kill Hozumi.

However, he could threaten it earlier.

Once he has developed his skills and no longer needs or fears the Akatsuki, he can completely escape his current predicament.

"Azure, I'm taking it with me. Killer Bee is yours, how about that?" Yoriichi said, looking at the two of them.

For the Akatsuki organization, all they needed were tailed beasts; Azure was of no other use to them.

Of course, Fang Zun didn't think so.

Chapter 160 The Second Generation Shadow

In Fang Zun's view, once Yoriichi obtains the power or assistance of Azure, the world will be instantly dominated by the two of them.

Although Fang Zun possesses divine arts that surpass even immortal arts, his divine arts lack offensive and defensive characteristics; instead, they only allow him to foresee the future.

If this ability were combined with overwhelming strength, it would be a fatal blow, but unfortunately there are people in this world who are not afraid of this ability.

Yoriichi's body contains such complex components that even divine magic would find it difficult to counteract.

First, there's the extremely compatible Sage Mode and the Sage Body made of Hashirama cells, something Fang Zun had already noticed when he used Wood Release ninjutsu.

Besides, Yoriichi's Fire Release ninjutsu was already one of the most powerful in the entire ninja world.

In terms of speed, possessing the Phantom Body Technique and the fastest Flying Thunder God Technique, it has currently secured the top spot.

He possesses superhuman strength, the Snake Concealment Technique for defense, and the Mangekyou Sharingan for illusion.

His original abilities were already incredibly powerful, making it impossible to counter them!

Fang Zun sighed softly.

However, he was completely helpless in the face of this situation, even though Heaven had bestowed upon him divine arts that were even more powerful than immortal arts.

Although his strength is almost at the highest level in the Land of Water.

But what does this prove?

He still couldn't beat Uchiha Yoriichi, and he couldn't even beat that old geezer from his own country.

"Is there something you need?" Yuan Yi asked quietly, looking at Fang Zun's preoccupied expression and his outstretched arm.

Under the moonlight, he had already lifted the blue-clad body with one hand, preparing to escape.

"It's nothing..." Fang Zun obediently shut his mouth, then a storm raged in his heart.

"Even if you say you have something to do, it won't make a difference!"

Yoriichi smiled at Fang Zun, then turned his gaze to Uchiha Itachi.

"I will be waiting for you someday in the future." After leaving behind these meaningful words, Yoriichi shrank back slightly and disappeared, leaving only a fleeting shadow in his wake.

Kisame, who was hiding behind a large rock to take care of Deidara, peeked out.

"Farewell, Lord Kenshin."

Then, he slowly carried Deidara on his back and walked out of the rocks.

"It seems it's time to leave."

Kisame looked towards Fang Zun and Uchiha Itachi's location, where they were staring at a lingering shadow and sighing slightly.

This Uchiha Yoriichi really comes and goes as he pleases.

Such a powerful guy actually had the nerve to ask them what they thought of their proposal.

That's a bit too modest... Of course, it could also be a threat.

Fang Zun sighed softly, looking at the mess in Yunyin Village, a sense of relief welled up in his heart.

Fortunately, he did not die in today's hell.

"Fang Zun, Kisame, let's go," Itachi Uchiha suggested.

"Itachi, what do you think about Yoriichi's suggestion?" Fang Zun suddenly asked curiously.

Uchiha Itachi was walking towards Killer Bee's location when he suddenly stopped and stared at Fang Zun. His figure looked particularly lonely in the moonlight, and his blood-red eyes moved slightly. "I'm sorry, I have no comment."

Fang Zun chuckled softly; he had known this would happen all along.

"Never mind." Fang Zun stretched and glanced at Kisame, who was carrying Deidara and had already come to their side.

"Alright, let's get ready to leave." Fang Zun silently reached out, and a Time Cube appeared in his hand. He stretched out both hands and trapped Killer Bee inside the Time Cube.

Then, a huge blue circle appeared behind him, dividing the surrounding space into the shape of a special tunnel road.

Itachi Uchiha was the first to step inside, followed by Fang Zun. Kisame, carrying the exhausted and asleep Deidara, also gradually entered.

In the distance, a figure swept through the forest with a swirling wind, a smile appearing on his face. Then, a layer of adobe emerged from his hand. Yoriichi used ninjutsu, employing raging fire to scorch the adobe into the shape of a mask.

A golden mark with the arc of a katana emerged from the mask. Yoriichi put it on, and the surroundings were immediately illuminated by specks of light.

The surface of the mask was still a bit hot, but for Yoriichi, this heat was just like a facial massage.
