"Goodbye everyone, I'll definitely succeed next time..." Deidara snorted coldly, looked up at the sky, and strode away.

Suddenly, a familiar figure gradually appeared in the mist.

His eyes were white, he was wearing a black-trimmed shirt and samurai pants, and he looked at Killer Bee lying on the ground with disgust.

Immediately afterwards, he looked up at the sky, and Deidara walked away with his back to him.

He stretched out his right hand, raised it high into the sky, his expression somber, and suddenly his hand flashed with bursts of red light.

"Killing intent reflex".

Soon, a light red barrier appeared in his hand, and judging from its shape, it was the same defensive move he had just used.

But it shrank considerably, shrinking from a large area into a small circle that just covered his palm. The patterns on it were more compact, like a magic circle with different designs printed on it.

A light yellow substance with a hint of gunpowder dust gradually precipitated from the magic circle, transforming into shimmering, dew-like energy that condensed into a cannon.

"Bang!" An invisible force shot out from his hand, striking Deidara directly.

Deidara turned around abruptly, and the force was already in front of him.

"BOOM!" The bomb exploded, scattering into fireworks across the sky.

Deidara, caught off guard, fell directly from the bird and crashed to the ground.

He landed on a soft lawn, but the consequences were still significant. After rolling around several times, a sharp pain shot through Deidara's leg.

—Leg fracture?

Deidara was somewhat incredulous. He couldn't stand up now and could only glare angrily at the blue figure standing in front of him.

"What kind of strength is this? How could this be?"

Deidara continued to control the flying bird as it flew away. He looked at Kisame still on the flying bird and couldn't help but feel a smug look on his face.

That was a mockery of Azure, even though the price he paid was broken hands and a fractured leg.

"You've got guts..." Azure stood up to Deidara from above.

"Why don't you become my subordinate? I can repay the harm you suffered."

"Be your subordinate?" Deidara laughed immediately. "Impossible."

"You'll understand in a while." A cunning glint flashed in his azure-white pupils.

Suddenly, a red rope appeared in his hand and he bound Deidara.

He glanced slightly behind him and said, "Tie him up and lock him in jail!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 135 Cooperative Rescue

Yoriichi walked out of the prison with a dark expression on his face. Hozuki Suigetsu followed behind him, looking at Kenshin with some concern.

He wondered why Yuan Yi had suddenly become so cold, but he didn't ask aloud, only speculating about it.

"Could it be that Kabuto's words just now angered Kenshin?"

As Yoriichi walked out of the prison, he silently looked at Suigetsu behind him and saw the worry on his face.

Seeing that Yuan Yi had turned around, Shui Yue immediately asked:

"What's wrong with you?"

"Don't let the enemy affect you, Yoriichi."

Yoriichi was taken aback. It seemed that Hozuki Suigetsu had misunderstood him and thought that he had been angered by Yakushi Kabuto.

“That’s not how it is…” Yoriichi immediately regained his composure.

"Shuiyue, things are not that simple."

Yoriichi looked up at the sky and frowned.

He had just gone into the prison to see Kabuto Yakushi, and as soon as he entered, he saw Kabuto looking somewhat lost and dejected.

He wasn't that afraid of Yoriichi; on the contrary, he remained high-profile and ate the soldier's rations he was holding with relish.

As if everything represented his unwavering determination, Yoriichi smiled slightly and gradually moved closer to Kabuto Yakushi.

How do you feel today?

"Hehe..." Kabuto Yakushi just lowered his head and chuckled.

"It's too early to be glad now... You'll be overthrown one day." Kabuto Yakushi said mockingly, adjusting his glasses that reflected the light.

"How dare you speak like that?" Shuiyue immediately became agitated, even brandishing the twin swords behind her, preparing to go inside and directly slash Yaoshidou.

"Is that so?" Yoriichi wasn't angry at all. He looked at Kabuto Yakushi and smiled gently.

"At least now that you're a prisoner, you can't do that."

"Why don't you kill me?" Kabuto Yakushi said coldly.

"It's not time yet..." Yoriichi left with a cryptic remark and walked towards the outside.

Judging from Kabuto's behavior, he no longer has any intention of surrendering, and it seems that he will ultimately not become one of his powerful assistants.

In Yoriichi's view, Kabuto Yakushi was not like Orochimaru's lackey; he was like Orochimaru, a lone wolf, just like himself.

If he were given power and authority, he would no longer depend on anyone, but would instead become a leader himself.

Such a person has the potential to become a shadow...

Unfortunately, Kabuto Yakushi understood that with Yoriichi, he had no other options but to choose between submitting and death.

Since Kabuto Yakushi was unwilling to submit, he naturally had no choice but to face death.

Yoriichi had nothing else to say to him.

Just as he was passing through the narrow and dark underground prison, Yoriichi's chat box in his mind suddenly emitted waves of chakra, making his head feel numb.

Yoriichi activated the teleportation technique, and what came from the other side... was Kisame's voice.

Therefore, on the way out, Yoriichi listened to Kisame recount everything about his and Deidara's trip to Kumogakure, and also learned about Deidara's capture. This made Yoriichi's expression even more unpleasant, and a black line appeared on his face.

"Hunter" Azure has such strength that even Kisame and Deidara couldn't defeat him.

It didn't appear in the original work either... Is it another transmigrator with a cheat ability?

Yoriichi's face darkened. The two transmigrators, Aida and Fang Zun, were already enough of a headache for him, and now another transmigrator with Kage-level strength had appeared...

No, perhaps it's not just Kage level. Yoriichi hasn't even started testing the waters yet, so he still doesn't know much about the opponent's strength.

And if we go to the Land of Lightning to rescue people, will the investigation in the Land of Earth have to be postponed again?

Yoriichi sighed softly and gently stroked Suigetsu's head.

"Shuiyue, I might have to leave temporarily..."

"Huh?" Mizuki was somewhat shocked. "But at night... Zabuza and Yamanaka Fu's funeral..."

"I will try to stay until after the funeral before leaving... but of course, it's not certain," Yoriichi said solemnly.

"Deidara has been captured by the Land of Lightning, I need to rescue him..."

"What?" Shuiyue's heart skipped a beat, and she became anxious. "I want to go with you to save him too!"

Yoriichi smiled. "I knew you were going, but not this time. Actually, I wasn't planning on telling you about this..."

"But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like there's any big deal if I tell them..."

Yoriichi sighed softly, "Think about it carefully."

"If one person could simultaneously overpower both Deidara and Kisame, neither of them could defeat him and would only be able to escape death."

"Even Deidara couldn't escape..."

"Do you think you can easily deal with an opponent like that?"

Hozuki Suigetsu paused slightly, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face, before whispering:

"cannot..."

A moment later, Hozuki Suigetsu looked up again. "Kenshin, are you planning to go by yourself?"

“Of course not…” Yoriichi frowned.

Deidara is now a member of Akatsuki, so Akatsuki should rightfully send someone to rescue him, since the accident happened during the capture of the Eight-Tails. Akatsuki should bear some responsibility for the consequences.

Yoriichi wasn't sure if Akatsuki and his group would take responsibility, but they would probably take this "hunter," Azure, seriously to some extent...

Yoriichi had already informed Kisame to return to the Akatsuki organization first and find Obito Uchiha, and told him that he was willing to go to the Land of Earth to save Deidara.

Of course, once this news is leaked to Obito, who knows what dangerous things Obito or others might do in Kagehiku Village.

Therefore, Yoriichi took two precautions. One was that during this rescue, Yoriichi left a clone at his doorstep to assist his main body in performing the Flying Thunder God Technique for remote teleportation.

Another one is what Yoriichi asked Kisame to tell Obito.

That is—this rescue must include Fang Zun to prevent this madman from the Land of Water, the leader of the Super Shadow level, from launching a sneak attack on Yin Yin Village.

However, it doesn't matter whether Obito told Fang Zun that he was going along.

Telling them would only exacerbate the crisis of trust between the two, since Fang Zun is someone who wants to wage war against Yin Yin Village.

If he doesn't tell him, it will coincide with Yoriichi's idea, and the secret will be hidden to some extent. Yoriichi can use a mask to cover his face and use space-time techniques to conceal his chakra, so Hoshin won't be aware of his identity.

To a certain extent, this ensures that Yoriichi remains in the shadows, preventing Hozumi from recognizing him. Yoriichi can then use this identity to better understand the prophet of the Land of Water, the man known as Hozumi.

Chapter 136 Changes in Senior Management

Yoriichi guessed that, given Obito's mindset, he most likely wouldn't tell Yoriichi Fangzun his true identity.

After all, if Fang Zun found out that the two were cooperating, it would be something that Fang Zun would find very objectionable, and Obito's trust in Fang Zun would gradually decrease.

As for Yoriichi's own safety, he felt that Obito would not join forces with Hozumi to kill him; firstly, it was completely unnecessary.

Obito's goal is to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi and collect the Tailed Beasts. However, putting aside his unrevealed objective, the capture of the Tailed Beasts is not yet complete. Obito needs the help of both Yoriichi and Hoshin.

If he were to kill himself, it would likely cause panic among Fang Zun, who was also capable of stopping Obito. It wouldn't make sense for Obito to only kill him.

Furthermore, this move would attract the attention of Pain and others. If Obito killed Yoriichi, Deidara and Kisame would naturally refuse to submit. If he dared to kill him, he would have to kill Kisame in return. In this way, the internal unity of the Akatsuki organization would be immediately disrupted.
