"If it weren't for you holding us back, we should have arrived much sooner." The shorter man's voice was very hoarse, like the sound of two pieces of metal rubbing together.
"Wow, how can you blame me for this?" The boy was clearly indignant at the man's words, and said in a disgruntled tone, "If it weren't for my Asuka, I wouldn't even have seen them, okay? Hmm."
"These two guys... Sasori of the Red Sand and Deidara of Iwagakure?" Shisui recognized them at a glance.
After all, the physical characteristics were exactly the same as the detailed information given by Wuyue.
"Oh, it's good that you recognize me. Hmm." Deidara's gaze shifted to Shisui opposite him, a slight smile playing on his lips. "The Uchiha clan of Konoha, huh?"
"Shut up, Deidara. They're not ordinary Uchiha." Sasori took a small step forward and said hoarsely, "The two strongest geniuses of the new generation, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi. I never expected to meet them here. Well then, you should know our purpose now."
"I'm sorry, but we've already moved the Seven-Tails." Shisui shrugged and said, "Even if you rush over now, you probably won't be able to catch up. But the most important thing is... you can't take another step forward."
"Hmph! Arrogant fool, let me test your strength! Hmm!" With that, Deidara waved his right hand. Countless centipedes, spiders, and reptiles made of clay emerged from under his coat and quickly covered the bodies of the two men opposite him. "Explode!"
Just as he finished speaking, a strange scene suddenly unfolded... The clay bombs that had been covering the two of them inexplicably transferred to his own bodies. This bizarre sight sent a chill down Deira's spine. "What's going on? What... what's happening?"
"I told you not to be impulsive, you idiot." Scorpion's voice rang out at this moment, as if a giant hand had pulled him out.
Suddenly, Deidara realized that everything around him had returned to normal. There were no clay crawlers, and he was standing perfectly fine in the same spot.
“That’s a Sharingan genjutsu ability. How dare you look him in the eye? What an idiot.” Sasori’s voice rang out again from the side. “Considering the opponent’s combat abilities, under these circumstances, we should…”
"I can't let you get away so easily." Shisui chuckled, gripping the blade on his back with his right hand and drawing his sword.
choke.
A soft humming sound was heard in the air.
A fiery red wave of energy erupted out, and Shisui's body vanished from the spot at the same time.
"What?" Deidara was taken aback. Such a speed of 0.7 was simply beyond his imagination.
Clang.
Just then, the tail extending from the scorpion's back collided with the crimson blade energy. Then, in the next instant, his body was instantly cleaved in two.
Click, click. Thud!
Hiruko shattered completely, and a red-haired boy appeared before everyone.
"Brother Sasori? You actually..." Deidara's expression of astonishment remained unchanged; everything before him completely overturned his understanding.
"Shut up, idiot!" Scorpion, having reverted to his original form, flicked his right hand and pulled out a scroll. "Now, we're in trouble."
391 Ideas and Plans
This is troublesome, it really is troublesome!
In Sasori's estimation, he had already exaggerated his opponent's strength considerably. However, when the fight actually began, he realized that he had greatly underestimated his opponent. His "Hiruko" was defeated in a single move; if things continued like this, the outcome was predictable.
So, without any hesitation, he took out his mechanical scroll and released the "puppet" he had specially made!
"Oh? That one, is that the Third Kazekage?" Shisui narrowed his eyes, watching the other's movements. "It's said that he's a bloodline ninja who has mastered magnetism."
"Is it troublesome?" Itachi asked calmly.
“Of course, he is a Kage-level expert after all.” Shisui smiled and said, “But don’t worry, just take care of your side.”
“No problem, dealing with this guy is easy.” Itachi looked calmly at Deidara and said indifferently.
"Damn it! You 07, don't underestimate me!" Deidara was instantly enraged. This was the first time he had been so looked down upon since becoming a ninja. "Die! Hah!" He flung clay bombs from his sleeves, hitting his opponent head-on.
Rumble.
With a loud bang, a violent shockwave spread out.
"Not bad in terms of power." A voice suddenly sounded behind Deidara, saying, "Unfortunately, the accuracy is too poor."
what?
incredible!
Deidara's pupils contracted sharply, and he turned his head abruptly, only to see a pair of scarlet eyes.
"Let's end it here." Itachi said calmly, "You had no chance against me from the start. Tsukuyomi!" The windmill-like pattern spun rapidly, and Deidara's consciousness gradually faded into darkness.
"cut!"
On the other side, the puppet controlling the Third Kazekage took several steps back, and Sasori's face showed a cautious expression. "Whether it's speed or strength, it's extraordinary? He's just a junior, yet he can reach such a level."
"The Third Kazekage's strength is indeed extraordinary." Opposite him, Shisui's face was equally serious. He exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "As expected of the strongest Kazekage in history. And I'm really looking forward to seeing how you'll perform when you go all out to kill him."
"Heh, are all Uchiha clan members as arrogant as you?" Sasori flicked his index finger, and with that movement, the Third Kazekage's puppet flew up, rapidly charging towards the opposite side. Visibly, the puppet's arm suddenly snapped in half, transforming into two steel blades that swung through the air, creating gusts of wind pressure. "If you want to witness my ultimate art, you'll at least have to bring your teacher here!"
Ding ding ding.
The crisp sound of clashing swords spread rapidly. Sparks flew in the air.
The puppet's attacks were extremely fierce, but under Shisui's Sharingan's keen observation, it still couldn't inflict any substantial damage. Instead, it gave Shisui a chance to counterattack during the opening.
Under Wuyue's tutelage, his refined ninjutsu was put into full-scale combat. Like a magnificent butterfly, he danced gracefully in the arena, yet carried a deadly danger.
This can't go on!
At this moment, Sasori fully realized that his situation was extremely precarious. Under Shisui's relentless pressure, the Third Kazekage's puppet was already covered in wounds.
Ninja Technique·Sand Iron Boundary Technique!
Finally, he unleashed the Third Kazekage's most prized technique. Two enormous magnets rapidly coalesced, generating a repulsive reaction. Subsequently, the surrounding iron sand fragments, due to the increased repulsive force of the magnetic field, spread outwards, forming numerous cone-shaped iron sand fragments that filled the sky.
Shhhhhh.
In the next instant, these cone-shaped iron pellets plunged into the ground, like a rapid barrage of rain.
"What impressive ninjutsu." Even Shisui felt a sense of gravity at this moment.
The ferromagnetic branches spread irregularly, making it difficult to discern their trajectory. Moreover, according to the information provided by their teacher, all of these iron sands are poisonous; even a minor scratch could be fatal. Even if they managed to evade the first attack, with no way to retreat, they would find it difficult to avoid the second.
but……
Rumble.
Huge iron cones were driven into the ground one by one, raising a cloud of dust.
Sasori of the Red Sand, however, showed no sign of relief. Instead, his expression grew even more grave, and a sense of powerlessness rose within him. "This, this is..."
"Susanoo." Shisui's body was already enveloped in a layer of bluish-green chakra, which condensed into a giant humanoid shape. "The Uchiha clan's ultimate eye technique. When this technique is activated, it signifies the end of everything."
As he spoke, Susanoo's right arm swung gently, and the spiraling giant sword in its hand plunged straight down.
Boom!
With a single strike, the Third Kazekage's puppet was reduced to dust. This also instilled in Sasori a sense of invincibility.
"Take back what you just said." Shisui said coldly, looking down at her. "With your strength, you're not even qualified to make my teacher lift a finger!" Susanoo's attack took shape again, and the giant sword slashed down from above.
"Damn it!" Without any hesitation, Sasori pulled out two scrolls from his pocket.
Instantly, countless mechanical puppets appeared in the sky, crashing violently into Susanoo's attack.
Rumble.
It was like a thousand thunderclaps resounding in the sky, deafeningly loud.
Splash!
As the smoke and dust cleared, nothing remained on the ground except for a pile of broken puppets.
"A scroll for spatial transformation?" Shisui said, stroking his chin as he deactivated Susanoo. "Damn it! They were hiding this trick all along."
392 The Darkest Shadow
The dark cave was emitting a faint light.
The enormous body of the Outer Path Statue lay prone on the ground, its arms supporting it, its ten fingers raised. On these fingers stood several figures, both real and illusory, creating a very eerie feeling.
If someone with some knowledge were here, they would be able to see that these figures are clearly not physical entities, but rather phantom images formed from chakra.
Shortly after these first few rays coalesced, another crooked and distorted ray of light also coalesced. However, seemingly due to the inability to concentrate chakra, its color appeared quite dim.
“You look to be in serious trouble, Sasori.” Payne, who was at the front of the group, slowly opened his eyes, his pale purple pupils fixed on the last person to appear. “Did something go wrong?”
"Ah, the Seven-Tails... someone beat me to it." Sasori's voice sounded somewhat dazed.
"Get there first?" another spies' voice suddenly rang out, sounding very dissatisfied. "So, your mission failed, right? What a useless fellow!"
"Is this all the so-called senior ninjas in the ninja world are capable of?"
"Hehe, after all, they're getting old."
"This is something that can't be helped."
Led by this guy, the others also started making sarcastic remarks. This shows that the group wasn't as harmonious as it appeared on the surface.
"Alright, let's stop here." Standing beside Pain, Obito, disguised as Tobi, said slowly, "With your strength, you're still unable to complete the mission. Just who is your opponent?"
“Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, the two of them,” Sasori replied calmly. “Under their attack, Deidara and I had no chance of winning. Even if I escaped, it would be by luck.”
"So, Deidara has been captured?" Obito's words were phrased as a question, but his tone was unmistakably certain. "That's truly disappointing news."
"Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, are they the genius twins of Konoha? It's said they were both disciples of the Konoha Heavenly Dragons."
"Konoha Celestial Dragon? Sunset Without a Moon?"
"It's that guy, no wonder..."
"In that case, you didn't lose unjustly."
Unlike the original story, which was entirely composed of rogue ninja, the current Akatsuki organization is mostly composed of elite ninjas selected from various villages. This serves two purposes: firstly, to train combat forces to counter Yuhi Mugetsuki, and secondly, to monitor the Akatsuki's activities and prevent them from doing anything that could harm their village's interests.
"What a joke!" Just then, an angry voice suddenly rang out. "You guys, even if you think highly of the enemy, there's no need to go this far!" It was a boy wearing a headband from the Hidden Hot Spring Village, and he was unusually agitated.
"Don't forget, what are we gathered here for? Not to boast about your own enemies!"
"Calm down, Hidan." Kakuzu said calmly beside him, "This is not boasting, but the truth. Even as an enemy, you have to admit this gap."
“Yes, he’s known as the strongest in the history of the ninja world, in the truest sense.” On the other hand, Kisame Hoshigaki, who had been secretly dispatched by Mei Terumi, chimed in, “With our combat strength, we are still far inferior to him.”
"Even so, are his disciples at the Kage level or above?" Konan asked slowly, feigning doubt. "In that case, we're afraid we'll have to reassess our plans."
"No, this is still under my control." As the true mastermind behind the scenes, Obito said calmly, "These two brats from the Uchiha clan are just special cases. They are talented individuals, with extraordinary talents."
"So, what should we do next?" Kisame asked again, "The plan to capture the Seven-Tails has failed. Should we consider other tailed beasts?"
"The remaining One-Tailed and Eight-Tailed creatures are in the hands of Sunagakure and Kumogakure respectively." Obito shook his head and said, "They are now our allies. Therefore, this plan is temporarily shelved. All actions will prioritize the training of a ninja army. Orochimaru, how is your research progressing?" At the end, he looked at Orochimaru at the very end of the line.
"Basically complete." Orochimaru grinned and said, "I've even prepared the talismans and marks. Now, all I need are the materials, lots of materials."
