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

However, to her surprise, Itachi Uchiha did not take the opportunity to attack her.

Could it be that--

Mei Terumi immediately understood.

He suddenly looked around.

Sure enough, powerful chakra auras were rapidly approaching!

She felt a slight sense of relief.

Reinforcements have arrived!

The first figure to appear was none other than Konoha's Azure Beast—

Metkai!

"Yah!"

"They actually dared to barge into Kirigakure!"

"They're completely disregarding me, the Azure Beast Might Guy!"

Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha both changed their expressions slightly.

Although the man in front of them seemed unreliable, both of them knew very well that his strength was no less than anyone else's!

"Is it that rare beast again?"

Kisame Hoshigaki gave a cold smile.

“Mr. Itachi, I’m handing over the Three-Tails Jinchuriki to you. I still have some score to settle with this rare beast.”

He actually abandoned Mei Terumi and went straight for Might Guy.

Itachi Uchiha didn't care and looked in Mei Terumi's direction.

But that's it.

Yamato, Huangtu, Darui, and others followed closely behind Might Guy and arrived, blocking Itachi Uchiha's path!

Mei Terumi was finally relieved.

“Uchiha Itachi, Kisame Hoshigaki, it is a foolish thing for you to barge in.”

"Now we can't leave even if we want to!"

Even facing Mei Uchiha and so many reinforcements, Itachi Uchiha didn't have an absolute chance of winning. Moreover, he knew his own body best; he was already terminally ill and was just forcibly enduring it.

Of course, the most important thing is...

He had no intention of risking his life for the Akatsuki to capture the Tailed Beasts.

then.

"Kisame, I understand how you feel, but it seems the plan to sneak in has failed..."

"The two of us alone cannot fight against the entire Hidden Mist Village, plus so many reinforcements."

Kisame Hoshigaki, however, was somewhat unwilling to give up.

"Hey, Mr. Itachi, even if we want to leave, these people probably won't let us go."

"It's impossible for him to leave without a major fight."

Itachi Uchiha understood that what he said was true.

"Yes, don't linger in the fight."

His words were tantamount to acknowledging Kisame Hoshigaki's plan.

Kisame Hoshigaki faced Might Guy, unsheathed his Samehada sword from his back, let out a cold laugh, and slashed fiercely at his opponent.

Might Guy was not to be outdone and immediately counterattacked with a Konoha Power Whirlwind.

A ferocious blue beast and a tailless tailed beast instantly clashed in battle.

And this side.

Yamato immediately took action, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and strands of Wood Release vines transformed into pythons, reaching out to grab Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi dodged and weaved, his body leaping back and forth across the lake and buildings, avoiding all attacks.

The loess soil slammed onto the earth.

"Earth Release! Mountain Earth Technique!"

Although not as large as in the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original work, it was still like two giants, with the earth on both sides being overturned and pressing down hard on Uchiha Itachi in the middle!

Uchiha Itachi frowned.

He unleashed his clone explosion once more, causing his entire water clone to explode completely, but it still failed to break through the mountain and earth technique, and the explosion was still forcefully suppressed.

However, his true form still managed to escape by a great narrow margin.

However, Darui has already unleashed his powerful lightning technique.

Lightning Release! Gratitude Wave!

Using the water flow of the lake beneath his feet, Darui's Lightning Release technique quickly closed in on Uchiha Itachi.

He had no choice but to flee again, and ended up on the roof of the building.

Mei Terumi, however, has already unleashed an even greater power.

For the first time, she borrowed the tailed beast chakra of the Three-Tails Isobu and unleashed a powerful ninjutsu that surpassed her own abilities.

"Water Style! Iron Cannonball!"

The enormous water-based cannonball exploded out with a deafening roar!

Uchiha Itachi's expression finally changed.

To single-handedly deal with so many people, each of whom is a top-tier ninja in the ninja world, is something even Itachi Uchiha would find difficult to do.

Moreover, the increasingly torrential rain here, coupled with the lake beneath his feet, made the timing and location extremely unfavorable for him, who was originally skilled in fire-style techniques.

Using only Water Release techniques, it's impossible to win in Kirigakure.

unless--

He truly unleashed the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan!

However, once it is used, not only will he fall into weakness in a short period of time, but his body will also be closer and closer to exhaustion.

Rumbling--

Boom! ! !

The water cannon technique exploded forth with a deafening roar!

Itachi Uchiha's body was struck hard and instantly turned into dust, shattering into pieces!

However, the next moment, the flying flesh and blood suddenly transformed into a flock of crows, scattering away with mournful cries.

"Is that... a crow clone?"

"hateful!"

At this moment, more and more reinforcements continue to arrive.

This includes Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten from Team 3, and Sai and Karin from Team 11, as well as ninjas from other villages and Kirigakure's own team.

Itachi Uchiha knew he couldn't delay any longer.

He took a deep breath.

Then——

His right eye, the Mangekyou Sharingan, suddenly snapped open!

A tear of blood instantly streamed down from the corner of his eye.

But suddenly, a burst of black flames shot out into view!

"That is……"

Before anyone could react, the black flames in their field of vision had already pierced through the rain and landed directly on Mei Terumi's body!

"what happened?!"

Mei Terumi gasped in surprise as a sharp burning sensation overwhelmed her, throwing her into a panic.

Fortunately, the Three-Tails Isobu immediately cooperated, transforming into a half-tailed beast form. The tailed beast chakra cloak enveloped her entire body, covering it with Amaterasu's black flames.

Subsequently, the Three-Tails Isobu manipulated this part of the Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak to detach directly from its body, along with the Amaterasu Black Flame.

However, even so, the Amaterasu black flames continued to burn fiercely, burning away all the chakra, and even continuing to burn on the surface of the lake!

"An inextinguishable black flame?"

"I remember that was the Mangekyou Sharingan power of the Uchiha clan..."

"Amaterasu?!"

Mei Terumi felt a wave of fear wash over her. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the Three-Tailed Isobu within her, she would have surely died!

The others also went to look after and protect Mei Terumi.

Taking advantage of this opening, Itachi Uchiha quickly left the battlefield.

Kisame Hoshigaki noticed this and chuckled.

"Rare beast, it seems today isn't the day for your final battle with me..."

"If we meet again, let's settle this with a fight to the death!"

He abruptly put the greatsword Samehada back, quickly formed hand seals, and slammed it onto the lake surface!

"Senkisame!"

Suddenly, countless water sharks swarmed in, as if bringing the entire ocean to Kirigakure. Thousands upon thousands of water sharks surged and rolled, obscuring the entire battlefield!

Matt Kai was also taken aback: "What is that?!"

Yamato, Hiroto, Darui, and the others all frowned.

They could only temporarily use their own unique abilities to resist this attack.

Might Guy directly entered the sixth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the Gate of View, and activated his ultimate taijutsu technique—

"Towards the peacock!"

Yamato unleashed the Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World.

The loess was defended by massive earthwork walls.

Darui incorporated Storm Release into the water, killing countless sharks.

Mei Terumi, panting, immediately activated her Water Release ninjutsu to counter.

With so many powerful figures joining forces, Qian Shi Jiao was quickly defeated, but the figures of those two people had also disappeared.

"Chase!"

"We absolutely cannot let them get away!"
