From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Although it can no longer sever the power of words, it still has some binding effect when it hits an enemy.

For Kisame Hoshigaki, who had lost Samehada and looked down on ordinary weapons, the Seven Star Sword was the best alternative.

"Given her size, she shouldn't possess such immense strength. It seems that the punch she just delivered must have been the Fifth Hokage's Super Strength Punch."

He then grinned at the girl and said, "Long time no see, Haruno Sakura. I didn't expect you to still remember my name. It seems I'm not exactly a nobody after all."

"Was the Tonica Village incident orchestrated by your Akatsuki organization?"

Facing the enemy's mockery, Sakura spoke in a cool and clear voice.

"Hehe, I think you should ask your former comrade Uchiha Sasuke about this when you have the chance."

So it really is related to Sasuke?

Sakura's inner thoughts were unclear, but her expression remained calm.

"Since it has nothing to do with you, what are you trying to do by blocking our way?"

"Hehe, some great figure wants to play with Uchiha Sasuke. In order not to disturb his enjoyment, we small fry have no choice but to come and clear the area."

A remarkable person?

Could it be the same person who summoned the meteor just now?

Is the mysterious person who fought Sasuke in Takachiho Canyon two years ago, whose identity was not revealed, the same person mentioned in the Sunagakure intelligence report?

Upon hearing this, Sakura frowned, her mind racing as she tried to guess the person's identity.

Meanwhile, during their conversation, Kakashi and Obito Uchiha had finished their mutual probing.

"Mr. Fei, you look a bit disheveled."

Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at Obito Uchiha, who had suddenly appeared beside him, and a smile crept across his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

"Kisame, these guys are more troublesome than I thought."

Obito Uchiha's voice was devoid of emotion, but his face behind the mask was extremely gloomy as he looked at the reunited Team 7.

During the earlier probing, he unleashed a ninjutsu in an attempt to stop Kakashi from releasing Kamui.

However, Kakashi still unleashed his Kamui.

Although it didn't hit the target directly, it only struck the surrounding area, but it still had some impact on the target, forcing the target to reveal its true form.

Then, Yakumo, who had been watching closely, almost seized the opportunity and fell into another illusion.

This is why Kisame Hoshigaki teased him about his disheveled appearance as soon as he saw him, because he was indeed somewhat disheveled.

"You need to be careful of that guy; his illusion magic is very powerful."

After a pause, Obito Uchiha continued, "In a way, you can think of her as Itachi Uchiha."

"Oh? For someone like Mr. Tobi to be wary of her, and even say the same thing as Mr. Itachi, it seems this little girl is indeed not to be trifled with."

Upon hearing this, Kisame Hoshigaki's expression turned unusually serious.

Obito Uchiha had already witnessed the power of his genjutsu back in Kirigakure.

Even so, Obito Uchiha was very wary of Itachi Uchiha, and of his genjutsu.

Kisame Hoshigaki, as a teammate and monitor sent by Obito Uchiha to Itachi Uchiha's side, knew a lot about the two.

For example, Obito Uchiha never dared to reveal his true form in front of Itachi Uchiha, because revealing it meant certain death!

Obito Uchiha might not be able to break Tsukuyomi, and even if he could, it would have been enough for Itachi Uchiha to kill him many times over by the time he broke it.

Not to mention, during the battle in the Land of Swamp, Itachi Uchiha used a genjutsu that was even more powerful than Tsukuyomi, which even immobilized that humanoid demon.

Correspondingly, Itachi Uchiha was also very wary of Obito Uchiha, whether it was because he knew that the person in front of him was just a projection, or because he was wearing the name of Madara Uchiha.

Therefore, Itachi Uchiha never actually attacked Obito Uchiha.

"In that case, let's leave her to Kazuma to handle. After all, even I don't have many ways to deal with illusions. However, illusions have no effect on the dead."

Kisame Hoshigaki shrugged.

"That guy should be here soon."

As if in response to Kisame Hoshigaki, a strange change began to occur in the dense forest, and a thick fog slowly rose up.

"Who exactly are you?"

Why is there this eye?

After Team 7 reunited, Kakashi ignored Kisame Hoshigaki, who had suddenly appeared, and looked at the masked man, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Kakashi was extremely unsettled at this moment.

Is the masked man in front of us actually Obito himself?

Or did someone take his eyes?

If it was Obito himself, why didn't he return to the village after he survived?

Instead, he joined the Akatsuki organization and even acquired Wood Release from who-knows-where?

If it wasn't Obito?

Then who took his eyes?

During the battle at Kannabi Bridge, after he killed Hikari, a Jonin from Iwagakure, with Chidori, he had very little chakra left.

When Suma Shi led the Iwagakure army to attack him and Rin, he was powerless to resist and instead fell into a coma.

Upon waking up, he discovered that his teacher, Minato Namikaze, had arrived in time to save them. He had previously asked his teacher about Obito's body, and the answer he received was that it was nowhere to be found.

In fact, Kakashi went there to search after the war, but Obito Uchiha's body had indeed disappeared without a trace.

Kakashi never imagined that Obito could survive, after all, half of Obito's body was crushed by a boulder, and even the best medical ninja would be powerless to save him from such an injury.

Regarding the disappearance of Obito Uchiha's body, Kakashi believed that Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) must have taken it away, since it was the Sharingan, and no ninja village could give up its covetousness of the Sharingan.

However, the masked man blocking their way has once again awakened deep memories in Kakashi's mind, telling him that the truth of what happened back then was clearly not so simple.

"Me? I'm just a ghost wandering outside this world, forgotten by all."

In response to Kakashi's question, Obito Uchiha gave a lukewarm reply.

Chapter 330 The Chaotic Situation

A forgotten ghost?

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's unease grew stronger, and just as he was about to ask more questions...

The rapidly rising thick fog had completely obscured the figures of the masked man and Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Is this the Mist Concealment Technique of the Mist Ninja?"

Not far from the location of Team 7, Jiraiya, who had come all the way from the Land of Fire, arrived here.

This place should have been a beautiful, tranquil forest, but suddenly a thick fog rolled in and covered the sky.

"This is not the Misty Concealment Technique!"

Jiraiya frowned, feeling as if countless illusory and bizarre images were appearing before his eyes.

The space itself is also rapidly distorted and changing, making it impossible to lose sight of reality.

This long-lost yet familiar scene startled Jiraiya, and then a flash of inspiration struck him.

"It's the Second Mizukage's mirage technique!"

Mirage is a signature technique of the Second Mizukage, which causes enemies to fall into an environmental mirage, allowing him to launch a fatal attack.

Although Jiraiya never fought the Second Mizukage, he witnessed the Second Mizukage use this move during the Second Shinobi World War.

"Did someone learn the Second Mizukage's Mirage Technique? Or did the Second Mizukage perform it himself? Or are you manipulating his corpse behind the scenes?"

As Jiraiya surveyed the thick fog around him, various thoughts flashed through his mind.

At that moment, an immense amount of chakra rose up, accompanied by a deafening dragon's roar.

"Naruto?"

Sensing the familiar chakra fluctuations, Jiraiya paused for a moment, then his expression turned serious, and he quickly rushed towards the direction of the sound.

"Damn it! This darn fog just won't dissipate?"

When the thick fog appeared, Naruto used a combination of Wind Release and taijutsu to create a huge shockwave in an attempt to dispel it.

But his attack was like hitting thin air, having no effect whatsoever.

"Naruto, don't waste your energy, this isn't the Hidden Mist Technique."

Sakura reminded her from the side, glanced at Yakumo beside her, and after seeing her nod, continued:

"This isn't even an illusion, but a ninjutsu similar to projection."

Sakura originally wanted to say that this was a ninjutsu similar to a mirage, a phenomenon formed by the refraction and total internal reflection of light, where light reflected from an object is refracted by the atmosphere to form a virtual image.

But since Naruto probably wouldn't understand if he said that, he said it was a projection ninjutsu.

In other words, the dense fog they saw was not real fog at all, and the bizarre images were not illusions, but reflections from other places.

In this situation, Naruto's Wind Release couldn't dispel it, and her Water Release couldn't gather the moisture, because it wasn't a true fog.

Yakumo was also unable to dispel it, because it was not an illusion.

"Isn't there any other way?"

"Calm down, Naruto."

Sakura said in an annoyed tone:

"Of course there are solutions, but we need some..."

Before Sakura could finish speaking, everyone felt a sudden pang of fear.

boom!

The once calm, clear sky was suddenly struck by a deafening roar of thunder, and from the depths of the thick fog came the sound of surging, raging torrents.

Several hundred meters above the members of Class 7, a petite figure appeared out of nowhere. She held two swords wrapped in layers of fierce lightning and slashed down fiercely towards Class 7. The lightning surged and became extremely ferocious.
