Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 253 Itachi Uchiha and a Root Ninja

The Land of Wind.

The area is still covered in yellow sand.

Two figures wearing straw hats and black robes draped with auspicious cloud patterns walked through the yellow sand until they finally reached their destination.

Sunagakure Village.

One of the five great ninja villages.

The location of Shukaku.

The Akatsuki's plan to collect the Tailed Beasts must strictly follow the order of their numbers, and the Sand Village, the weakest of the five great ninja villages, is the first to be targeted.

"Scorpion Danna".

Deidara pulled a clay bird directly from his pocket, tossed it into the air, and the clay bird instantly grew larger!

"Leave this one to me!"

Deidara stood on the clay bird, striking a pose for Sasori: "Sasori, how's my artistic pose?"

"Don't keep me waiting too long."

Sasori of the Red Sand responded coldly.

"certainly!"

"I can do the same thing as Akihara Kagura, who single-handedly conquered Sunagakure!"

Deidara turned back and smiled confidently at Sasori of the Red Sand. He then took off on the clay bird beneath his feet and flew towards Sunagakure, searching for the whereabouts of the One-Tailed Jinchuriki!

"What an innocent little brat..."

Sasori looked up at the clay bird flying in the sky and couldn't help but sigh. This blond kid was always talking badly about Akihara Kagura in his ear, but he had no idea that he had always been Akihara Kagura's path of destruction...

No matter how strong Deidara is…

Ultimately, there is a huge gap between her strength and that of Akihara Kagura.

Hopefully, this blond kid will come to his senses soon and stop thinking that his years of training are enough to challenge Akihara Kagura. It's just a childhood squabble. If this blond kid really gets reckless someday, I'll have to plead with Akihara Kagura for him...

Just as Sasori of the Red Sand was pondering, the entire Sand Village suddenly erupted into chaos. It seemed that the Sand Village ninjas had discovered the invading Deidara, and Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage approved by Konoha to succeed him, took to the air amidst a cloud of yellow sand to meet the attack!

Gaara, as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, was not so easy to deal with. His Sand Manipulation Technique was as swift as his own, and a sky full of yellow sand chased Deidara as he fled in all directions...

"This…"

Sasori of the Red Sand looked on speechlessly, sighing inwardly, feeling that Deidara, this stubborn guy, really couldn't grasp the situation: "He still wants to challenge Akihara Kagura like this?"

Although the battle between Deidara and Gaara was evenly matched, their battlefield was Sunagakure. In order to protect the villagers of Sunagakure, Gaara was inevitably restrained in his fighting, and was even ambushed by Deidara...

Above Sunagakure Village.

A cloud of yellow sand swept towards Deidara, grabbed his arm tightly, and tore it off!

Despite losing his arm, Deidara secretly released clumps of clay spiders from the sand using the arm that had been torn off by the Sand Claws…

next moment!

Deidara once again unleashed a barrage of clay birds!

These clay birds flew directly at Gaara, forcing him to gather yellow sand and form a sand ball to envelop his body!

but…

This was exactly what Deidara wanted!

Just as Gaara was hiding in the sand ball, thinking he had escaped the attack of the clay birds, he saw little spiders crawling out of the clay birds!

Boom!

An explosion resounded throughout the entire sand sphere!

Severely injured, Gaara could no longer maintain the sand ball and fell straight down from the sky. Deidara, controlling the giant clay bird, suddenly flew over and wrapped Gaara's body up!

"One Shukaku, captured successfully!"

A smug smile crept across Deidara's lips.

"..."

Sasori of the Red Sand couldn't understand it at all.

What is there for this blond kid to be proud of, having gone to such lengths, even losing an arm, to capture the Kazekage of Sunagakure?

but.

Sunagakure did not give up.

On one hand, Sunagakure sent out flying eagles to request aid from its ally Konoha, and on the other hand, it dispatched pursuers to track Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand. Kankuro, the puppeteer, was the fastest!

however…

This time, Kankuro encountered the most powerful puppeteer in the ninja world!

A cannon barrel emerged from Sasori's Hiruko, and dozens of rockets with trailing flames flew out, blasting Kankuro and his puppet away!

"Let's go."

Sasori's fighting style is extremely elegant.

"Scorpion's artistic style..."

Deidara grinned as he watched Sasori of the Red Sand finish the battle cleanly and decisively, then directly controlled the giant clay bird beneath his feet to fly into the distance.

"snort…"

Sasori of the Red Sand glanced at the giant clay bird in the sky.

Four steel pipes emerged from Hiruko's body. These pipes quickly spread and reassembled, eventually forming four spiral wings on Hiruko's body, which propelled Hiruko into the air and quickly caught up with Deidara's clay giant bird.

"What exactly is that...?"

Kankuro lay bewildered in the desert, looking at the scattered puppet parts on the ground, somewhat unable to understand what kind of enemy he had encountered.

Completely powerless to resist...

He was easily knocked to the ground by the enemy.

A group of Sand Village ninjas quickly found Kankuro's trail and swiftly took him back to recover from his injuries. Now that they had lost the enemy, they could only wait for a reply from Konoha.

Konoha Village.

Inside the Hokage Building.

Akihara Kagura returned from the Akatsuki organization first, reporting to Tsunade the information Root had gathered that two Akatsuki members were active in the Land of Wind; meanwhile, she deliberately sent someone to summon the four Hokage back for a group meeting.

Such a proposal could not be refused.

While sending people to inform the four Hokage to return to Konoha, Tsunade also sent people to Sunagakure to order them to investigate the Akatsuki organization.

however…

The letter requesting help from Sunagakure has arrived.

The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, has been captured by the Akatsuki!

As the eldest brother in the alliance of great powers, Konoha had to fulfill its responsibilities as the eldest brother. Tsunade could not refuse Sunagakure's request for help, so she immediately sent people to Sunagakure. Team 3 and the newly formed Team 7 were dispatched directly.

root base.

Akihara Kagura sat in his office flipping through scrolls, while Uchiha Sasuke knelt on one knee in front of him, listening quietly to the tasks Akihara Kagura gave him.

"Class 7 has already set off."

Akihara Kagura gently traced the words on the scroll with her fingers as she spoke, "Sasuke, you follow behind them and monitor and protect them."

"The enemy is..."

Uchiha Sasuke remembered something that Akihara Kagura had mentioned before.

"It's exactly what you think."

Kagura Akihara put down the ninjutsu scroll in her hand and said softly, "The Akatsuki have captured the Fifth Kazekage. Naruto and the others are going to rescue him, and they'll definitely run into the Akatsuki..."

"Uchiha Itachi..."

Uchiha Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

Even if he doesn't manage to encounter Itachi Uchiha this time, he can still seize the opportunity to capture a member of the Akatsuki organization and extract information about Itachi Uchiha from them!

"Go."

Akihara Kagura waved her hand, signaling Uchiha Sasuke to go and carry out the mission.

After Sasuke Uchiha left, the White Zetsu, Awei, emerged from the ground. It seemed to have known Akihara Kagura's thoughts all along: "Boy, are you going to report to Pain and the others?"

"Um."

Kagura Akihara nodded and casually said, "Go report to him. The reinforcements sent by Konoha are just a bunch of small fry. Akatsuki could easily stop them with a single squad..."

"it is good."

White Zetsu Awei burrowed underground.

The Akatsuki acted swiftly. After Deidara and Sasori captured Gaara, they immediately assembled and began extracting Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, from Gaara's body using the Nine Seals of the Illusionary Dragon, hoping to seal Shukaku into the Gedo Mazo as soon as possible.

The Sand Village and Konoha Village also acted swiftly.

Teams 3 and 7 of Konoha arrived at Sunagakure Village quickly.

After Kankuro awoke in Sunagakure, he reported the enemies he had encountered to the village's higher-ups. The abilities displayed by the enemies he had met immediately caught the attention of Chiyo, an elder in the village.

"The enemy claims to be a puppeteer..."

"It must have been the village puppeteer, because he seemed to know my puppets very well. I was no match for him at all. In an instant, he released more than a dozen flying bombs from his body, shattering all my puppets in one move..."

As Kankuro reported on the enemy he had encountered, he looked at the mangled puppet with a pained expression: "That guy's fighting style was quite bizarre, completely beyond my comprehension..."

"Let's follow the route they took..."

Granny Chiyo could only sigh helplessly. She had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but she couldn't get any more information from Kankuro.

however…

Sunagakure has never had a successor.

Granny Chiyo wanted to verify her guess, so she went directly with Team 7 of Konoha to track down the enemy's whereabouts; Team 3 of Konoha assisted in tracking down the enemy's trail.

at the same time.

The Akatsuki organization also received the intelligence.

It even includes detailed personnel allocation information.

Pain ordered Deidara and Sasori to prepare two living bodies and remotely created two puppets of Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki using the Transformation Technique.

Although these puppets only possess one-third of the power, it should be enough to cover Deidara and Sasori, preventing them from interfering with their progress in extracting the One-Tailed Shukaku.

An oasis in the desert.

Class 7 and Granny Chiyo followed the trail.

A figure wearing a Root ninja cloak and a cat-face mask followed closely behind them.

"Is someone chasing us?"

Naruto Uzumaki always felt a very complicated feeling.

"..."

Kakashi Hatake was well aware of the Root ninjas monitoring them from behind, and he dismissively told his disciple, "It's probably just my imagination. Let's hurry up and track down the Kazekage..."

next moment!

Everyone stopped in their tracks involuntarily!

Because within their sight, a figure draped in a black robe adorned with auspicious clouds appeared in the forest of this oasis, as if deliberately waiting for their arrival.

This figure…

It looks extremely familiar.

"Uchiha Itachi..."

Kakashi Hatake was startled.

Everyone present stopped and stared at Itachi Uchiha with tense expressions.

"Mr. Kakashi."

Uchiha Itachi slightly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes: "I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I'm sorry, but the road ahead is closed."

Although this Uchiha Itachi was just a puppet, and this puppet only had 30% of its strength, it still had the power to stop this team!

"Sasuke's older brother..."

Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno had heard of this name long ago.

"The infamous Itachi, the one who wiped out his clan..."

Granny Chiyo sighed, recalling the legends created by the devastating Uchiha clan: "We still need to be a little careful; the Sharingan isn't so easy to deal with..."

"Of course we won't underestimate him..."

Kakashi Hatake, adjusting his ninja headband, said in a low voice, "Although Itachi Uchiha was once defeated by Kagura, he was only ever defeated by Kagura..."

Kakashi Hatake's fingers gently brushed over his transplanted Sharingan. Over the past few years, he had been diligently training this Sharingan and gradually mastering some of its amazing uses.

same.

Kakashi Hatake also felt a side effect.

That is, once you use the Sharingan's amazing abilities, it will cause your vision to decline, putting a heavy burden on your brain and body.

"We might still have a chance of winning..."

Granny Chiyo, with her wealth of experience, took the initiative to instruct these juniors: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying about dealing with Sharingan: one-on-one, you will surely escape; two-on-one, you will be attacked from behind... The four of us can have one person distract him while the rest attack him from the Sharingan's blind spots. But I've heard that this Uchiha Itachi is no ordinary person..."

"Leave this to me."

A voice came from inside the forest.

As the sound appeared, a figure wearing an animal mask, a Root ninja uniform, and a Root cloak instantly appeared on a tree.

"You will continue with the mission to rescue Fengying..."

The Root ninja pressed his hand tightly against his animal mask and said coldly, "Leave this to me, I'll take care of him..."

"The people at the root..."

Sakura Haruno's expression immediately turned serious, and she frowned deeply: "Why are the Root members following us...?"

"Um?"

Naruto Uzumaki felt the other person's tone sounded familiar, and curiously stroked his chin: "Why does this guy talk so arrogantly..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"People from the roots?"

Grandma Chiyo's expression turned ugly.

Although the Root of Konoha is not well-known in the ninja world, the people who stand behind the Root and support those Root ninjas are as tall as a giant tree, making people dare not offend them!

"He also has his own mission..."

After Kakashi Hatake quietly defended the Root ninja, he asked him again, "If you hand this guy over to you, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"certainly."

The Root ninja pressed his hand tightly against his mask: "You go do your thing, I'll do mine. We'll meet up again after we've completed our missions..."

First update!

It's a bit late!
