Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

After a moment of slight surprise, Afei mocked again:

"Huh? So that's all your attack is?"

And that's it?

With its mouth agape, Gamabunta was naturally unable to answer its question, but Kagura, who had been preparing for a long time, finally appeared.

He stood on the canopy of a tree, his three-tomoe Sharingan already activated, staring intently at Tobi, who was bound by Gamabunta.

The tomoe in her eyes spun rapidly, and Kagura gritted her teeth with difficulty, clearly pushing her Sharingan to its limit.

This was Kagura's first time trying out her S-rank skill—Amaterasu!

A small, lotus-shaped black flame suddenly appeared on Afei's body.

Having already noticed Kagura's actions, Tobi paused for a moment, then laughed nonchalantly:

"Is this the attack you've been planning all along?"

This flame couldn't even burn through my outer shell!

you...

ah! ! ! "

As soon as the black flame appeared, Gamabunta instinctively withdrew his tongue.

Although the flame was very small, it could sense a deadly danger emanating from it.

Sure enough, just as Afei was still laughing, the small flame suddenly turned into a black curtain, enveloping Afei's huge body.

The flames clung to it like a viscous liquid.

Scorched by Amaterasu, Abi could no longer maintain his flight and fell painfully to the ground.

"Waaah..."

how so...

This fire...

ah!!!!!"

With its piercing screams, it continued to roll through the forest.

However, this had no effect; the fire clung to it like a parasite, relentlessly burning its body.

Seeing Afei rolling around incessantly, even Wan She was so frightened that he took a step back.

Normally, given its ferocious nature, it would have rushed up and devoured the enemy the moment Afei was shot down.

But at this moment, the black flames gave it a sense of threat it had never felt before.

Even the proud creature just wanted to stay as far away from that fire as possible.

On the other side, Kagura, who had successfully unleashed Amaterasu, was now kneeling on the ground in agony.

He kept his eyes tightly closed, but you could still see a lot of blood flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Having only reached the three-tomoe stage of his Sharingan, he is now facing a tremendous backlash.

It's worth noting that even Itachi, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan in the original work, wouldn't dare to use this technique lightly.

For Kagura at this moment, the backlash from Amaterasu was far more intense than he had imagined.

If the situation weren't so dire, he wouldn't have wanted to risk using it.

Tsunade, who had finally landed from the sky, saw Kagura with her face covered in blood and rushed to her side immediately.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru and Jiraiya also noticed Kagura's strange behavior. They ignored Tobi, who was crying out in pain on the ground, and looked towards Kagura.

However, before Tsunade could even speak as she rushed to Kagura's side, a red and blue energy attack suddenly descended from the sky.

Two attacks rushed towards Gamabunta and Manda respectively.

Amid Jiraiya and Orochimaru's exclamations, they, along with the summoned beasts beneath their feet, were instantly enveloped by the two energy waves.

With several cries of pain, Gamabunta and Manda were sent flying far away.

Before the two enormous figures even landed, they vanished into thin air because they could no longer maintain their spiritual connection.

As for Jiraiya and Orochimaru, they collapsed to the ground, unconscious from the blow.

A hoarse voice came from above them.

"Ah Fei, you really are a piece of trash. You can't even handle a few kids?"

Upon hearing the voice, Tsunade looked over in surprise. The speaker was none other than Kakuzu, who should have been fighting on the other side!

Chapter 89 Fallen Companions

Kakuzu at this moment was completely different from his previous appearance in a black robe.

His robe was long gone, revealing his upper body covered in stitches.

On either side of the bare upper body were two masks, one red and one blue, connected to his arms by some black veins.

The mask on his face was long gone, and the lower half of his face, which was exposed, showed a bunch of black veins constantly flaring up.

Kakuzu was still in a fighting stance, and his strange appearance made people's scalps tingle.

But shouldn't he be surrounded by those Jonin from Takigakure?

Thinking of this, Tsunade and the others immediately looked toward the battlefield where Kakuzu had been.

However, what they saw before them shocked them, because the battlefield there was like a living hell.

Limbs were scattered all around, and blood splattered everywhere, turning the entire area of ​​trees red.

Even though there were still quite a few survivors, most of them were covered in wounds and lying on the ground groaning in pain.

Hikoki, the leader, slumped against a tree trunk, his right hand clutching his bleeding abdomen, staring desperately at Kakuzu in the distance.

In just a quarter of an hour, all the gathered Jonin from Takigakure were wiped out!

Seeing the wounded on the verge of death, Tsunade, disregarding Kagura beside her, immediately called out anxiously to the slug standing nearby:

"Quickly, go save them!"

After the giant slug nodded with its two tentacles on its head, its entire body suddenly shattered into dozens of smaller slugs.

These small slugs moved slowly but quickly to the injured, immediately attaching themselves to them and enveloping them in their bodies.

On the other side, Kakuzu, who had arrived, did not rush to attack Kagura and the others.

He frowned as he watched Ah Fei writhe and scream in agony.

As an old-timer with rich combat experience, he did not immediately touch the flames.

Judging from Afei's condition and his intuition, those black flames were clearly not something to be touched easily.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a scroll from his person.

He unrolled the scroll and placed it on the ground. After forming several hand seals in front of A-Fei, he shouted:

"seal up!"

Then he slapped the scroll in front of him.

As he used his sealing technique, the black flames attached to Afei's body seemed to be attracted by an invisible force.

They flew off the Seven-Tails' enormous body and entered the scroll in front of Kakuzu.

The sealing process took only a few seconds; all the black flames were sealed inside the scroll.

Kakuzu carefully put away the scroll, added a strange symbol to it, and then carefully placed it back on his person.

At this moment, the Seven-Tails, possessed by Tobi, could only lie helplessly on the ground.

Its appearance became extremely miserable, with most of its shell burned black, and the flesh and blood under the broken shell could be vaguely seen.

Three of its tentacles were burned off, and only two of its wings remained intact, while the other four were damaged to varying degrees.

It is clear that they are no longer able to continue fighting in the short term.

Looking at the dying Afei before him, Kakuzu's eyes flashed with disdain.

He said to Afei with a hint of dissatisfaction:

"I will apply to no longer go on missions with you in the future."

"If you were just being noisy, that would be one thing, but after obtaining the power of a tailed beast, you still managed to lose to a group of Chunin."

Kagura, who was kneeling on one knee, kept his eyes closed the whole time, but he roughly understood what had happened through Tsunade and Kakuzu's voices.

Although he had anticipated that the Jonin of Takigakure would be no match for Kakuzu.

After all, 20 years ago, Kakuzu was able to kill all the high-ranking members of Takigakure on his own. Now that 20 years have passed, his strength must be even greater than before.

After all, Kakuzu had just acquired the secret technique of Takigakure Village—Earth Grudge Fear—on that occasion.

Those are the black veins on Kakuzu's body.

Now that so many years have passed, he has naturally become more proficient in using the Earthly Grudge.

Therefore, when formulating the battle plan with Hikoki yesterday, he instructed the Jonin of Takigakure to stall rather than defeat Kakuzu.

If they can hold them off for now, they can go and face Kakuzu together after Kagura and her group defeat Tobi.

Kagura simply didn't expect these people to lose so quickly and so miserably.

It can only be said that there is a big difference between Jonin. The Jonin of Takigakure and the Jonin of Konoha are not even in the same league in terms of strength.

Fortunately, they had already defeated Ah Fei by then.

Kagura managed to stand up. Although her eyes were closed, she could still pinpoint Kakuzu's location by listening to his voice earlier and said:

"There is no point in us continuing to fight."

You can take Tobi and the Seven-Tails with you, while we'll bring Uchiha Shizuka back to Konoha to report.

how do you feel? "

Although doing this is somewhat unfair to the fallen Jonin of Takigakure, it is the most correct decision at this moment.

If given the chance, Kagura would certainly like to try to keep the Seven-Tails alive.
