In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

They are very fast.

At this rate, they should be able to catch up with Sasori and the others before dawn.

The sky slowly began to brighten.

The morning sun shone on everyone's faces.

Deidara and Sasori were facing a forest.

This is the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire.

Back then, Hashirama Senju used his Wood Release to transform this barren land into a vast forest.

To this day, the forest remains lush and dense, and as a result, it has teemed with life.

There are also many outposts here.

The Akatsuki organization also has a base here.

now!

Within the stronghold.

Obito's phantom had already arrived here long ago.

Opposite to Obito's phantoms are Pain's phantoms, Konan, and the black and white Zetsu.

"Has Deidara and the others not arrived yet?"

Obito asked coldly.

"No, they seem to be on their way here and have been delayed a bit, but they'll be here soon. Our plan will proceed as scheduled without any problems!"

Black Zetsu replied with a smile.

He was already used to Obito's stern face.

"Yes, let's summon the Gedo Mazo. After obtaining the One-Tailed Shukaku, our next goal is to gather all the Tailed Beasts scattered throughout the ninja world. Only by collecting all these Tailed Beasts can we complete the great Eye of the Moon Plan and bring true peace to this world. At that time, you and I will all be the heroes who shape that new world, and you will get everything you want."

When Obito talked about the Eye of the Moon plan, his eyes lit up.

Chapter 294 followed closely behind.

Only when the Eye of the Moon Project was mentioned would Obito's face show any other expression.

Although all of his expressions were hidden inside the yellowish-brown swirling mask.

However, this did not prevent Nagato and Konan from feeling Obito's fervor.

"That's right!"

Everyone nodded once again.

The Eye of the Moon Project is the greatest project that can bring peace to the entire world.

They are willing to give anything for this plan.

Even one's own life.

"Then let's wait for their arrival."

Obito stood there with a smile.

Black and White Zetsu, Konan, and Nagato also fell silent.

They patiently awaited the return of Deidara and Sasori.

in the forest.

The sky was bright.

Tenyu and his group finally caught up with Deidara and Sasori.

Watching their backs as they walked away.

Naruto was extremely agitated and was about to rush over and take Gaara back.

"Naruto, don't be impulsive, listen to Lord Tengu."

Kakashi stopped Naruto.

Although Naruto's strength has become very powerful, his Star Heart still needs to be honed.

Otherwise, if they continue to act impulsively like they did when they were young, they might end up making things very bad.

"But... damn it!"

Although Naruto really wanted to rush forward, he ultimately stood behind Tenyu.

"Brother Tianyu, tell me what we should do, I'll listen to you."

Naruto looked at Tenmichi.

"Alright, Naruto, Kakashi, the most important thing now is to block their retreat. Naruto, take this."

Tengoku was to deliver a fatal blow, and Murasame was left to Naruto.

"This is!"

Naruto felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the killing intent emanating from the long sword.

Naruto dared not look directly at that sharp edge.

"This is a one-hit kill, Murasame. The longsword is poisoned. As long as the blade touches that person, even with just a tiny wound, that person will die from the poison within a minute. Moreover, there is no antidote for this poison, so you must be very careful when handling it. Never let yourself touch the blade, or you will die too."

Tenyu gave Naruto some instructions.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but swallow hard.

It looks like he'll have to be very careful when he uses it later, otherwise he might really kill himself.

"Kakashi, I saw your swordsmanship a few days ago. Your swordsmanship is now very good, and your strength has also improved significantly. So you and Naruto should go and block their retreat. Once you've finished, fire a signal flare immediately, and I will take action against them right away."

Tianyu devised the tactics.

After all, Deidara and Sasori in front of them are both Kage-level ninjas, and they are not easy to deal with.

If they could be killed or captured alive, it would be a significant blow to the Akatsuki organization.

Itachi Uchiha left, Kisame Hoshigaki defected to Konoha, and Kakuzu and Hidan had already been killed by him.

If Deidara and Sasori were to be lost as well, the Akatsuki organization would now only consist of Nagato, Konan, Obito, and Zetsu.

Nagato was indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, the Rinnegan took a heavy toll on his body.

Although the Six Paths of Pain were extremely powerful, Nagato's physical body was very weak.

As for Xiao Nan, although her power is mysterious, she is someone who is already familiar with the original work.

Tenyu naturally knew how to defeat Konan.

As for Black and White Absolute.

That guy has no fighting ability at all; he only knows how to ambush from the shadows.

He's just a scheming schemer with wolfish ambitions.

His naive and innocent mother, who desperately wants to revive him.

He is a very filial son.

As long as one remains vigilant against Hei Bai Jue, his schemes will be of no use to Tian Yu.

So the one left is Obito, who is more troublesome.

Obito's strength lies in his ability to intangibly manipulate objects and his space-time ninjutsu.

However, this does not mean that Obito was much worse at ninjutsu.

Before his death, Madara Uchiha imparted all his life's skills to the world.

Obito even possessed Hashirama Senju's cells, allowing him to use Wood Release.

These two combined make even the current Tianyu find them somewhat troublesome and difficult to deal with.

"Ding! System mission issued. Gaara successfully brought back. Mission completion reward: Xuanhuang Stone!"

"Ding! System mission issued: Stop the Akatsuki's plot and prevent them from obtaining Shukaku. Mission completion reward: Genbu turtle shell!"

A system notification sounded in Tianyu's ear.

That's rare.

The system surprisingly issued the task proactively six months later.

Moreover, the two materials rewarded by the quest were exactly the materials he needed to forge the Gaia Shield.

Once this mission is completed, Tianyu will have enough materials to forge the Gaia Shield.

That shield was truly an absolute defense.

It can defend against any enemy attack with 100% certainty, although it will consume durability.

However, it must be said that this skill is perfectly suited to the name of the opponent's shield.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the shield of Gaia, the goddess of the earth.

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi and Naruto immediately nodded and then quietly left Tenyu's side.

Tianyu, on the other hand, remained hidden in the shadows.

They followed Deidara and Sasori silently the whole time.

Deidara sat atop a flying bird, with Sasori of the Red Sand still hidden within the puppet Hiruko beside him.

They weren't moving fast, perhaps because they were approaching familiar territory and their vigilance had decreased considerably.

"boom!"

Fireworks exploded in the sky along with signal flares.

Tenyu knew that Kakashi and the others were already in position.
