Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

"This thing shouldn't be able to trap you!"

Kisame walked up to Kaguren and said.

Keren glanced at the smashed iron gate, stood up, and said to Kisame, "There's no need to run away."

"If I told you I was here to arrest you, would you run away?"

Kisame's eyes flashed with a wicked light as he spoke deliberately.

"You don't need to arrest me."

"Kuroren said to Kisame."

Kisame raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"I'll go with you."

Keiren's gaze shifted from Kisame to Itachi Uchiha.

Upon hearing Guilian's words, Kisame's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "That saves us so much trouble!"

"why?"

Uchiha Itachi stared at the coffin and asked.

"Because my time has come."

Keren walked past Kisame and left the prison.

Kisame and Itachi Uchiha stood beside him.

[Please strive to obtain more high-quality chakra fragments, host!]

Inside the sealed space, Keren is saying goodbye to the Three-Tailed Isobu.

【"Three-Tails Chakra Fragment" x1 = Water Release: Gun Bullet + 2000000 min Sunlight + 20000000 Chakra】

【"Three-Tails Chakra Fragment" x1 = Tailed Beast Ball + 2000000 min Sunlight + 20000000 Chakra】

Faced with parting from Ren, Mio Isobu was so sad that he curled himself into a ball, his body completely covered by thick armor.

Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki took Ren to a cave in the Land of Water.

A colorful phantom quickly appeared inside the dark cave.

Upon seeing the Three-Tails Jinchuriki standing still and conscious, Pain immediately glanced at Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame shrugged and said to Tendo, "He came with us on his own."

The gaze of the Heavenly Dao fell upon the Coffin Lotus. After summoning the Gedo Mazo, the figures of the other members of the Akatsuki organization also appeared one by one.

Looking at the living coffin lotus, the other members of Akatsuki shared the same attitude as Pain.

"Hey!"

"Itachi!"

"Why is the Three-Tails Jinchuriki still awake?"

Deidara said provocatively, "You can't even control the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, so your Sharingan is nothing special!"

Deidara's words floated past Itachi's ears like air.

Itachi Uchiha didn't even glance at Deidara.

Deidara: "..."

Damn it!

He was already angry enough about not finding Ji Zhi!

He and the Uchiha clan were utterly incompatible!

Rinzo's figure appeared out of thin air in the cave, and his gaze flashed as it landed on Jilian.

"Master."

Jiulian took the initiative to call out.

This sound immediately plunged the cave into a deathly silence once again.

"The...leader?"

Deidara stared in disbelief, his astonished gaze shifting between Rin and Kaguya: "No way? The Three-Tails Jinchuriki is also a follower of the Eternal Bliss Cult??"

Why does it seem like the followers of the Eternal Bliss Cult are everywhere in the ninja world?

While it's true that the followers of the Eternal Bliss Cult are indeed widespread throughout the ninja world, it's a bit of an exaggeration that even the Jinchuriki of Kirigakure are followers!

"So you're also an apostle of the God of Bliss!"

Rin seemed to be hearing the news for the first time, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes."

Jiu Lian nodded: "My mission is complete."

The Akatsuki members' eyes darted back and forth between Kurenai and Rin.

"is it?"

Rin exclaimed, "You're really lucky!"

A smile appeared on Jiulian's face.

Rin said to the Heavenly Dao, "The sealing can begin."

The Heavenly Dao shifted its gaze from Rinzo.

As the sealing technique was activated, Jiu Lian's body floated in front of everyone.

The Three-Tails' chakra flowed out of Keren's body.

Kisame looked at Keren. Was this Keren's end?

It was nothing like what he had initially guessed.

Kisame's mind drifted back to that night when Ren had spoken.

Completing the mission means that the Coffin Lotus will merge with the God of Bliss.

Will the God of Bliss possess the memories of the coffin lotus?

Three days passed quickly.

As the seal ended, Jiu Lian's body fell silently to the ground, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Hey!"

Deidara glanced at Rin and asked, "Aren't you going to resurrect him? He's a follower of your Eternal Paradise Cult!"

Rin glanced at Deidara and shook his head: "He has been summoned back by the God of Elysium."

Deidara muttered under his breath, "That's the same as being dead!"

If you're dead, you're dead. What does it mean to be called back by the God of Bliss?

It's just an excuse.

Hearing Deidara's mutterings, Rin said, "Only an apostle of the God of Elysium can understand him."

Deidara: "..."

A ball of flame landed on the corpse of the coffin lotus.

His body burned to ashes in the flames.

Kisame watched the scene unfold before him.

"He has returned to the God of Elysium, right?"

Kisame suddenly stared at Rin and spoke.

Rin nodded: "That's right. All the apostles who have completed their missions will return to the God of Bliss. This is the end they all look forward to."

"It seems that Jiu Lian told you about it."

Rin said to Kisame.

Kisame revealed a mouthful of shark teeth: "He did tell me that, and he even invited me to join the Eternal Bliss Cult, but I refused."

“It’s alright to refuse,” Rinzo said unmoved. “Your destiny with the God of Bliss is in the future, not now.”

Noticing the gaze of the Heavenly Path, Rin looked at him: "The fate of all members of the Akatsuki and the God of Elysium lies in the future, including you, leader."

Chapter 381 The Future is Utterly Grim!

Ji Lian has escaped from prison.

When she received the news, Mei Terumi found it absurd.

She knew Jiulian too well; even if she locked Jiulian up in prison for the rest of her life, Jiulian would never overstep her bounds.

Rather than believing she had escaped from prison, she was more convinced that someone had attacked or forcibly taken away Jiulian.

Terumi Mei was furious.

Upon receiving the news, she went to the Hidden Mist Village Hospital immediately.

The prison guard ninja suffered severe psychological attacks.

Inside the hospital, Mei Terumi stood in front of the ninja guard's bed and looked at Ao.

Ao shook his head at Mei Terumi: "We can't get anything out of him. His mind suffered a powerful attack. It's a miracle he woke up."

Mei Terumi asked seriously, "Have you been inside the prison?"

Qing nodded: "When he went in, he collapsed at the cell door. The cell door where Jiulian was being held was violently damaged. It was definitely damaged from outside the cell, which means someone broke into the cell and took Jiulian away."

Hesitation appeared on Qing's face.

Mei Terumi glanced at him: "Go on."

Ao had no choice but to voice his guess: "I saw a cut on the damaged cell door that looked like Samehada. I suspect that the person who kidnapped the coffin might be the rogue ninja Kisame Hoshigaki."

Mei Terumi paused, involuntarily recalling how Kisame had defected and how Ren had concealed it.

Looking at it this way, it's quite possible that Kisame rescued Ren.

but……

Were they really rescued?

Would someone like Kisame, who openly admits to being a follower of the Eternal Bliss Cult, voluntarily defect from Kirigakure with Kisame?

If Kurenai wanted to betray Kirigakure, she wouldn't have waited until she was imprisoned by her.

They would never voluntarily acknowledge their status as members of the Eternal Bliss Sect.

Mei Terumi's heart clenched: "Kiri Ren might have been captured."

Qing was taken aback, and he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Mizukage, why did you imprison Ji Lian?"

Mei Terumi closed her eyes.

She still didn't say anything.
