Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

At Naruto's command, the small boat moved forward instead of backward, speeding towards the Three-Tails and the Akatsuki organization.

He shouted loudly from the bow of the ship: "Mitsuo Isobu!"

"You once shared a deep bond with the Fourth Mizukage and fought side by side. Now, Kirigakure needs your strength. If you still remember your bond with the Fourth Mizukage, please come to our side immediately!"

The massive body of the Three-Tailed Isobu is like a stone island in the sea.

He slightly turned his head, which stirred up huge waves.

Looking at Naruto, his eyes seemed to recall many things.

This boy defeated himself and the Mizukage, freeing himself from the manipulation of that illusion...

Indeed, in a way, he was the savior of himself and the Mizukage.

Because living like that is worse than death.

but……

The Fourth Mizukage is dead. How much does Kirigakure have to do with him now?

Humans in those days only saw themselves as tools.

Before Yagura Karatachi, he was forcibly sealed inside a female ninja named Rin Nohara, with the intention of having her take him back to Konoha and then go berserk to destroy the village...

In the eyes of Mitsuo Isobu, perhaps Karatachi Yagura could understand him.

However, this does not mean that all ninjas in the ninja world are like this.

Seeing that Isobu was hesitant, Sasuke said coldly, "Even if you can't accept Kirigakure for the time being, you should think about what will happen if you fall into the hands of the Akatsuki!"

Isobu suddenly turned around and looked at the Akatsuki organization on the other side.

Suddenly--

His body trembled!

It was as if they had discovered something extraordinary.

"You...you are..."

When he opened his blood-red mouth to speak for the first time, his voice trembled slightly, filled with anger and hatred, yet also with fear and awe!

Naruto couldn't help but look closer: "Who is he talking to?!"

Hinata shook her head: "It seems to be one of the Akatsuki members, but I can't be sure which one..."

"Judging from his expression, he seems to be reacting very strongly..."

The next moment.

The Three-Tailed Isobu roared fiercely, its air surged, and its massive body twisted wildly, directly creating a towering wave!

Then——

"Water Style! Iron Cannonball!"

As the tailed beast that is most skilled in water-style techniques, it now has the advantage of being in the ocean.

This water-style iron cannonball was so terrifyingly powerful that it was many times stronger than when it was used against Yagura Karatachi!

In an instant, the raging giant water sphere transformed into a cannonball the size of a small mountain, which blasted fiercely toward the Akatsuki's ship!

Such terrifying power, especially at sea, makes it virtually impossible to escape.

But the next moment...

The masked man then placed his hands on the other two.

Then——

It actually devoured and absorbed Kakuzu and Zetsu into its own space-time!

The void twisted and spun, like ripples and vortexes, and everything disappeared into his right eye!

At the same time, a colossal wave carrying cannonballs was already crashing down!

In an instant, the masked man's figure was completely engulfed!

Naruto and his group were taken aback.

"That is……"

"Was he hit directly by the Three-Tails' attack?!"

"How could this be? Are the Akatsuki members only capable of this much?!"

But at this moment.

"careful!"

At this moment, Hinata activated her Byakugan, Sasuke activated his Sharingan, and even Naruto, with his Wind Release sensory abilities, sensed the danger and crisis almost simultaneously!

The three of them turned around abruptly.

The void behind the ship twisted again, spreading out like a vortex.

Then, Kakuzu and Zetsu reappeared, and the mysterious masked man also appeared behind them!

"what?!"

Sasuke frowned: "Is that... a space-time ninjutsu?"

In an instant, Kakuzu, who had just reappeared, immediately unleashed his ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind Technique!"

Instantly, the raging flames spun violently, transforming into a tornado that shot towards Naruto and his group!

This is clearly a fire-style ninjutsu that Kakuzu newly stole using the Earth Grudge Fear secret technique.

Compared to the previous Fire Release: Head Technique, its range is much smaller, but its power is no less!

He knew Naruto used Wind Release ninjutsu, so he immediately used Fire Release, which is effective against Wind Release.

Sasuke reacted swiftly, immediately unleashing his own Fire Release technique in response.

"Fire Escape! Big Flame Bullet!"

In an instant, two flames, one sweeping across the sky and the other swirling and engulfing, collided fiercely and scattered in all directions!

The small boat from Kirigakure was instantly broken in two and burst into flames!

The ship broke apart, and Naruto and his group, along with the three members of Akatsuki, stood on either side as half of the ship slowly sank.

The few Hidden Mist ninjas in charge of steering also hurriedly scattered and fled, barely managing to stand on the sea by attaching chakra to the soles of their feet.

These ninjas were naturally not strong enough to get involved in a battle of this level.

Naruto roared, "Damn Akatsuki, what is your purpose in capturing the Tailed Beasts?!"

The mysterious masked man, who had been silent, suddenly started grinning.

"Kakuzu-senpai!"

"Is this blond brat the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki?"

Kakuzu coldly replied, "That's right!"

"Capturing the Three-Tails is secondary; I must first kill this Nine-Tails brat to avenge myself!"

The masked man covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Oh dear, so it's that brat who killed Hidan-senpai and almost killed Kakuzu-senpai..."

Kakuzu's expression changed drastically!

"Ah Fei, do you want to die?!"

Naruto and his two companions then learned that this person's name was Tobi, and he appeared to be a newly recruited member of the Akatsuki organization.

Ah Fei waved his hand, pretending to be flustered.

"Don't be angry, Kakuzu-senpai!"

"I'm just curious. This kid looks ordinary, is he really that amazing?!"

Kakuzu sneered, "Since you don't believe me, then try it yourself!"

Ah Fei chuckled and scratched his head.

"Me? I'm still far from good enough. This time, Kakuzu-senpai was the main force!"

"That guy Zetsu only knows how to watch. I only teamed up with Kakuzu to be a substitute for Hidan-senpai..."

Kakuzu coldly said, "Useless trash! I really don't know why the leader would want a ridiculous character like you to join us!"

Naruto and his group were also completely bewildered.

I used to think that the Akatsuki were all ruthless demon kings.

But this masked man just looks ridiculous no matter how you look at him...

Is he really a member of the Akatsuki?!

However, the fact that such a mysterious and unpredictable space-time ninjutsu completely escaped the terrifying attack of the Three-Tails Isobu clearly shows that he was not just all show and no substance.

Kakuzu said in a deep voice, "I'll deal with these three brats!"

"Afei, you go and capture the Three-Tails!"

Afei was startled and pointed to his mask.

"I?!"

"Nonsense, if you don't go, are you going to let Jue go?"

Beneath the lettuce head, a face with two contrasting features, black and white, smiled slightly.

The white part spoke up: "Ah Fei, it's time for you to play your part."

The black part has a low, deep sound.

"Don't expect us to help."

The man named Afei said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll try my best, Kakuzu-senpai!"

His figure sank instantly, disappearing into the seawater once again...

Naruto hurriedly said, "He used that space-time ninjutsu again!"

"Sasuke, Hinata, you two deal with Kakuzu, I'll go help the Three-Tails, Isobu!"

Although the two wanted to help, they knew that fighting on the high seas was not easy, and only Naruto had the ability to fly and move freely, so they could only nod.

"Go, Naruto! Leave the enemy in front of us to me and Sasuke!"

Sasuke scoffed, "Don't fail, Naruto! Otherwise, you'll be dead!"

Although his tone was unfriendly, he was actually reminding Naruto and expressing his concern and worry in his own way.

Naruto nodded, and suddenly his body exploded with wind release chakra. He instantly entered wind release chakra mode, and the wild wind flowing behind him roared out, transforming into a pair of wind wings that could roam the sky. With a sudden flap, he quickly soared into the sky and flew away!

woohoo-

The sea breeze is howling!

Naruto's speed instantly reached its maximum!

The distance of several hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye!

"Isobu Mitsuo! You're well aware of your situation, aren't you?!"

"Even if you don't approve of us, you certainly don't want to fall into the hands of the Akatsuki!"

Of course, Isobu Mio understood this principle.

especially……

He also knew that the man who had manipulated him and Yagura with illusion magic back then...

Right in front of you!

An inexplicable fear and unparalleled rage had overwhelmed Isobu's heart. Upon seeing this man appear, he didn't need Naruto's reminder; he had already entered a berserk state.

Roar--

Another roar erupted, once again unleashing a colossal wave!
