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

Kisame Hoshigaki stared at Muzan in shock.

No one ever said that Rei Amamiya's son had such a personality...

unique?

Itachi Uchiha was much calmer than Kisame Hoshigaki. He stared at Naruto Uzumaki and said in an unquestionable tone, "Since you're unwilling to come with us voluntarily, then..."

Itachi Uchiha reached out his hand to Naruto Uzumaki.

"Naruto!"

Sasuke's shouts came from the stairwell on the second floor of the hotel.

Itachi Uchiha withdrew his hand and turned to look at Sasuke at the top of the stairs.

Naruto and Muzan stood still. Naruto looked at Sasuke who had appeared, and his pupils contracted: "Sasuke..."

After confirming Naruto's safety, Sasuke's eyes were now only on Itachi Uchiha.

He clenched his back teeth tightly, his mouth filled with a strong metallic smell.

A strong blue-white light was reflected in his Sharingan.

The sound of Chidori echoed in Muzan and Naruto's ears.

The hotel walls could not withstand the power of the Thousand Birds and cracked open.

Amidst the blinding lightning, all that could be seen was Sasuke's Sharingan, filled with hatred.

Itachi Uchiha stood still, looking into Sasuke's eyes, while Kisame beside him spoke up, "Do you need my help, Mr. Itachi?"

Itachi Uchiha glanced coldly at Kisame, his eyes filled with warning: "No need, I can do it myself."

Kisame smiled and released his grip on Samehada: "Yes, Itachi-san."

He knew that Itachi actually cared a lot about his younger brother who also had Sharingan.

"Sasuke."

Naruto looked in Sasuke's direction with concern.

As Muzan watched Sasuke charge toward Itachi, he could almost guess what would happen next.

Just as he had guessed, Itachi easily grabbed Sasuke's Chidori with his hand, and with his other hand he grabbed Sasuke's neck, lifted him off the ground, and shoved him deep into the wall.

Naruto stared in disbelief, dumbfounded, at Itachi Uchiha: "To think... he could have done it so easily..."

"Sasuke!"

Naruto's shock was quickly dispelled by Sasuke's pain.

With a determined look in his eyes, he charged towards Itachi Uchiha without hesitation.

bang——

He was kicked into the wall by Kisame.

Kisame smiled at Naruto and said, "Let's not interfere in the affairs between the brothers, Nine-Tailed Fox."

Naruto collapsed in the corner, clutching his cramping stomach, and glared fiercely at Kisame.

Kisame glanced at Muzan, who was standing still: "You too."

As soon as Kisame finished speaking, he discovered that Muzan, who had been standing in the same spot, had disappeared.

He only saw a dark shadow flash by before his eyes. When he saw Muzan again, Muzan was already at the top of the stairs, carrying the unconscious Sasuke, and had distanced himself from Itachi Uchiha.

Kisame was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly became excited.

"So fast!"

Kisame approached Itachi Uchiha, glanced at Itachi's hand, and said, "To be able to save someone from Itachi-sensei with such speed that I didn't even have time to react... it seems this kid inherited his parents' excellent genes!"

After placing Sasuke, who was still immersed in the genjutsu, on the ground, Muzan looked at Kisame: "What? You don't have any superior genes to inherit? That's really pathetic!"

The innocent pity on his face and the knife he spat out formed two extremes.

Kisame's lips twitched as he raised Samehada in his hand: "Looks like they only look alike in face, but their personalities are worlds apart..."

Kisame leaped into the air, his Samehada sword aimed at Muzan's head.

The strong wind generated by Samehada almost blew people away, but Muzan nimbly dodged to the side.

A large hole immediately exploded where he had been standing.

The floor was torn apart by thick vines, and countless vines immediately filled the corridor, stretching towards Kisame Hoshigaki's back.

Kisame Hoshigaki wildly brandished Samehada, gritting his teeth, "He even inherited Wood Release? What an annoying brat!"

Back in Konoha, I was chased by this move, and I never expected to face it again here.

"Amaterasu!"

Black flames spread rapidly from the roots of the vines, halting their growth.

"With both Sharingan and Wood Release, won't this kid be even stronger than Rei Amamiya in the future?"

Kisame approached Itachi Uchiha and stared at Muzan, saying...

"This is the first time I've met you, Uchiha Itachi."

Muzan smiled at Itachi Uchiha.

"So this is all the Konoha genius is made of?"

Muzan gestured with his lips.

Naruto Uzumaki stood beside him, glancing around nervously.

Where did the lecherous immortal go?

He wasn't there when things were so critical!

"Mr. Itachi, can you kill him now?"

Kisame had reached his limit. If he let this brat grow up, he might scare people to death in the future!

Itachi Uchiha remained silent.

Seeing this, Kisame charged straight at Muzan.

bang——

Kisame's Samehada slammed hard against the Iron Wall Toad's armor.

The white smoke slowly dissipated, and Jiraiya, sitting on the Iron Wall Toad, blocked Muzan and Naruto's view.

"Lustful fairy!"

Naruto shouted excitedly, "You've finally arrived!"

Naruto saw a beautiful woman faint on Jiraiya's shoulder: "..."

Jiraiya climbed off the Iron Wall Toad and placed the beautiful woman aside: "Using illusion magic to control women and seduce me? How despicable!"

Muzan: "But you still got hit, didn't you?"

Jiraiya: "..."

Chapter 451 A Clan Extermination Case That Can't Stand Up to Scrutiny?

Jiraiya stood in front of Muzan and Naruto, his gaze sweeping over Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, his expression grave.

He glanced at Uchiha Sasuke at the top of the stairs, then formed hand seals: "Toad Mouth Binding Technique!"

Deep pink, writhing chunks of flesh slowly covered Muzan's feet and the surrounding walls.

The narrow corridor instantly transformed into the stomach wall of a toad.

Sasuke's unconscious figure at the stairwell was swallowed by the stomach wall.

Upon seeing this, Naruto immediately shouted, "Pervert Sage! Sasuke! Sasuke has been swallowed!"

Jiraiya kept a close eye on Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki in front of him and explained, "Don't worry, this is the stomach wall of the Toad of Myōboku. It will protect Sasuke by wrapping around it!"

Naruto jumped up and down, feeling the smooth, soft texture under his feet, and exclaimed in amazement.

Jiraiya smiled and said, "Enemies trapped in the stomach wall will be slowly digested by the toad. To date, no one has escaped the stomach wall."

"Amazing!"

Naruto's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Jiraiya with admiration.

Seeing that neither Naruto nor Jiraiya intended to ask, Muzan's lips twitched, and he had no choice but to ask on their behalf: "What is your purpose in finding Naruto?"

Jiraiya frowned, glancing at Naruto out of the corner of his eye, and wondered about the same thing.

But soon, a guess popped into his mind.

"We are here to capture the Nine-Tailed Fox on the orders of our leader."

Itachi Uchiha didn't hide anything and spoke frankly.

Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at Itachi Uchiha beside him.

Jiraiya's gaze grew increasingly serious.

Although he didn't expect Itachi Uchiha to be so direct about their purpose, the information Itachi revealed was quite important.

Once Tsunade is found, we must immediately return to the village and tell Zero about this.

"You can't possibly take the Nine-Tails away!"

Jiraiya said firmly.

He clapped his hands, and countless tentacles immediately emerged from the stomach walls of the surrounding toads.

The deep pink tentacles swept towards Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, like waves. Kisame cut them off, but they quickly grew back.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha were forced back by the tentacles, and the mucus secreted from their stomach walls was constantly corroding the soles of their shoes.

After the soles of the shoes were completely corroded, only their bodies remained.

They couldn't stay here any longer. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying the same meaning.

The black tomoe in Itachi Uchiha's pupils form a unique pattern.

bang——

A loud bang came from the end of the corridor.

Naruto immediately ran towards the source of the sound.

Muzan and Jiraiya followed behind him, and when they reached the end of the corridor, a large hole appeared in front of them.

Black flames scorched the stomach walls surrounding the large hole.

Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki had vanished without a trace.

"hateful!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, glaring angrily at the cave entrance before him.

"You lecherous immortal, didn't you say that no one can escape from the stomach wall of a toad?"

Naruto gave Jiraiya a resentful look and reached out towards the black flames.

Naruto's hand was immediately grabbed by Muzan.

Muzan pulled Naruto aside and stood next to Jiraiya, explaining, "This is not an ordinary flame."

Jiraiya didn't have time to pay attention to Naruto's complaints. He squatted down, took out the sealing scroll, and carefully sealed the black flames inside the scroll.

He nodded and looked at Muzan: "That's right! This is definitely not an ordinary flame! It hasn't gone out for so long, it must be a flame with the property of never going out!"

"Never to be extinguished?"

Naruto stared blankly at the stomach wall that had been charred black by the flames.

As Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki disappeared, Jiraiya immediately released his ninjutsu, and the stomach wall slowly vanished.

Sasuke reappeared on the floor, and Naruto quickly went over and carried him on his back.

"Perverted Sage, come and see Sasuke's injuries!"

Naruto shouted nervously.
