Konoha: Starting with the Tenseigan, taking over Team 7

"So strong!" Sasori of the Red Sand was slightly taken aback. He could not help but imagine that the Tsuchikage could break a block of iron with a single punch. Was this the true value of the strongest Kage among the Five Great Nations?

"Ouch... my back..." As soon as Onoki took a step, a jolt of electric pain shot through his waist, the sensation spreading instantly to his brain, causing his wrinkled face to contort in agony.

He's very strong, but his back hurts a lot.

At this moment, on the distant sea.

"Art is beautiful but fleeting; it is only beautiful in the instant it disappears, hmm!" Deidara threw C3s one after another, and countless C3s fell from the sky and turned into giant dolls, recklessly bombarding the Three-Tails below.

The violent explosion shook the sea, sending towering waves soaring into the sky. Thick black smoke and flames mingled, forming a small mushroom cloud. The three-tailed creature, which was still unconscious, was blown upside down by the massive amount of C3.

"This is the highest form of art! My art is the best! Hmm!" Deidara smiled excitedly, admiring the thick mushroom cloud below. It had been months since he had dropped bombs so recklessly.

Fun!

With a "whoosh," several figures leaped out of the forest. Kakashi and the others ran at top speed across the sea towards the weakened Three-Tails.

Although they were carefully observing the enemy's strength, they had to act immediately, otherwise the Three-Tails would be captured by the Akatsuki!

"From what I've observed, this Akatsuki member is an Earth Release user. My Lightning Release can counter his Earth Release. Guy, Asuma, Kurenai, you guys work together with the Mist Ninja to seal the Three-Tails."

Kakashi Hatake ran quickly, lifted his ninja headband to reveal his scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan, and stared warily at Deidara standing on the clay dragon.

He had just observed for a long time and discovered that Deidara was an Earth Release ninja, while the Lightning Release he used was just right to counter Deidara!

Might Guy took out his nunchucks, glanced at Deidara riding a giant dragon above him, then looked at Kakashi Hatake and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, Kakashi, that guy is a member of Akatsuki!"

"Mm," Kakashi Hatake replied.

"Xiao? Who knows what that thing is? Don't disturb my art appreciation!" Deidara's face darkened, and his eyes blazed with fury. He was engrossed in admiring the beautiful scenery after the explosion, and these damned guys dared to interrupt him.

What do you know?

All I want to do right now is appreciate art!

Suddenly.

With a deafening roar, the sea shook violently once more, and countless pieces of paper flew out from the seabed, forming a massive wave that instantly scattered Kakashi and the other Jonin.

Then all the paper pieces wrapped around the weakened Three-Tailed Fox, and a large number of black runes appeared on the surface of the paper pieces. Finally, the Three-Tailed Fox disappeared into thin air.

"Where's the Three-Tailed Fox?"

Everyone in the room was slightly taken aback, and they all stared in astonishment at the massive amount of paper scraps that resembled a giant wave.

"The three tails return to the dawn."

All the paper scraps fell like snowflakes, and a large number of them formed a human shape, eventually transforming into a stunningly beautiful woman. Xiao Nan hovered in the air with paper wings, looking down at the crowd below with indifference and aloofness.

irritating.

I also have to play a member of Akatsuki, but since my master has already said so, I'll cooperate and play that role once.

"This woman is... a member of Akatsuki who invaded the village last time!" Kakashi Hatake's expression turned solemn as he stared intently at Konan with his Sharingan. He could clearly sense that Konan was several times stronger than last time.

He's probably even stronger than the Third Hokage!

Now that the Tailed Beasts have been taken by Akatsuki, and the enemy is still too strong, the only and best solution is to retreat temporarily.

In the Kirigakure Jonin squad, Ao stared at Konan with a grim expression and said in a low, slightly angry voice, "The Three-Tails is a tailed beast of Kirigakure. What are you Akatsuki doing capturing tailed beasts!"

Damn it, Xiao!

Xiao Nan said coldly, "You don't need to know."

Deidara piloted the giant dragon to Konan's side, glaring at her angrily, and said with displeasure, "Hey, why are you interfering with my art appreciation too!"

Konan said, "I don't have time for your nonsense. Capturing the tailed beast is the priority."

Might Guy leaped backward, landing beside Kakashi, and asked in a deep voice, "Kakashi, what do we do now?"

Kakashi Hatake lowered his voice and said, "The enemy is very strong, and the Tsuchikage is still an unpredictable factor. We have no choice but to retreat now."

The enemy is indeed very strong.

Whether it's Konan, Deidara, or Sasori, they are all powerful Kage-level shinobi. Moreover, the Third Tsuchikage is still a variable, and it's difficult to predict whether the Tsuchikage will try to seize the Three-Tails.

The best course of action now is to retreat, since the lives of our comrades must be the priority.

Ugh.

If Cangyue were here, that would be wonderful.

With Cang Yue's strength, she can easily resolve the crisis.

But a pity.

I am not Cang Yue after all, and there is only so much I can do.

"Lord Mizukage is Sogetsu's girlfriend. Sogetsu will help Kirigakure retrieve the Three-Tails. You should know Sogetsu's strength, right?" Ao stared coldly at Konan, stalling for time to find an opportunity to strike.

"Azure Moon..."

Xiao Nan's pretty face darkened, a flash of anger crossed her eyes, and a strong sense of jealousy welled up in her heart. She raised her fair little hand and waved it, turning the entire sea area into pieces of paper. The sea area was divided into canyon-like cracks, and everyone fell into the paper-piece ocean current.

The limit of her ability is that she can turn any substance into paper.

Is Mei Terumi Aozuki 943's girlfriend?

The master belongs to me alone!

In Xiao Nan's current memory, Cang Yue is the reason for her existence, so Cang Yue must belong to her alone as her master.

"This guy... is so strong!" Qing, as the sea turned into paper, plummeted into the abyss of paper, staring in disbelief and shock at Xiao Nan above. This woman could actually turn the entire sea into paper at her mercy.

This strength has already surpassed that of the Mizukage!

"These kids are in serious trouble." Onoki glanced at the distant sea, where the entire area had been transformed into countless pieces of paper, and Kakashi and the others had been swallowed up by them. He thought to himself.

Let them fight, let them fight, it would be best if they both suffered heavy losses.

This will weaken the fighting power of the Mist Ninja and Konoha, and we can easily capture Deidara later.

In Onoki's eyes, it was a good thing for Akatsuki to fight to the death with Konoha and Kirigakure, because it would weaken both Akatsuki's and Konoha's fighting strength.

If Mei Terumi were to confront Iwagakure with Sogetsu, she could simply shift the blame to the rogue ninja of Sunagakure, claiming that the rogue ninja of Sunagakure had held her back.

perfect.

"The Paper God..." Konan's fair hands clasped together, and powerful Kage-level chakra surged into the sea of ​​paper. Just as she was about to use her strongest technique, Cang Yue's indifferent voice rang in her mind.

In the distance, Hyuga Sogetsu used chakra to transmit his voice, saying calmly to Konan, "You dog actually gets jealous of others. Are you jealous about Terumi Mei's matter?"

"Put away your chakra, Konan."

"Although these losers are annoying, they're still my friends, for the time being. Do you want me to get angry?"

"Besides, if you continue to attack, you will surely die. That watermelon-headed guy... is quite strong."

"Since he's my dog, he'll do things my way, so do you understand?"

He still considered Kakashi, Might Guy, and others as friends, after all, the two had helped him a lot in the past, even though he was arrogant, willful, and had a bad attitude, and always mocked the watermelon-headed guy and Kakashi.

but...

Kindness must be repaid, and grudges must be avenged.

This is typical of Hyuga Sogetsu's style.

Moreover, given Konan's strength, she would probably be kicked to death by Might Guy.

"Yes, Master." Konan immediately withdrew her chakra, and the paper sea returned to its original azure color. She was afraid that Hyuga Sogetsu would be angry, and she was also afraid of being disliked by Hyuga Sogetsu.

After Xiao Nan stopped, everyone looked puzzled.

Deidara froze for a moment, then glared angrily at Konan and said irritably, "Hey, hey, hey, that was an explosive tag bombardment, wasn't it? Explosions are the most beautiful art, don't stop your artistic performance, hmm!"

He could tell that Xiao Nan's move just now contained a huge number of explosive tags, and that activating this move would cause a spectacular explosion.

He was just excitedly waiting to see the explosion, but then Konan immediately withdrew her chakra!

Konan said coldly, "Now that I have control of the Tailed Beasts, continuing the stalemate with them could cause many unforeseen events, so I'll retreat for now."

Master, hurry up and make your appearance! I can't keep up this act!

Chapter 113 Cang Yue makes her appearance and instantly wipes out all the enemies!

"Although the enemy is very strong, and retreat should be our priority, let's still do our best to defeat them." Kakashi Hatake used his three-tomoe Sharingan to warily watch Deidara and Konan above. He could clearly sense that Deidara was very strong, probably at the level of a Kage.

And that woman named Konan is even stronger than Deidara!

Furthermore, the Third Tsuchikage is still a variable, so the best solution at present is to temporarily abandon the Three-Tails and retreat back to the village.

But... he always felt he could keep fighting, even though the Akatsuki members present were all powerful Kage, and even though the Third Tsuchikage was still an unpredictable variable, he could still continue fighting the enemy.

He had a vague feeling about this.

Sarutobi Asuma lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, exhaled a cloud of pale smoke, and asked in confusion, "The Three-Tails has been captured by Akatsuki, and we can't do anything about these people for the time being. Why should we continue to hold them off?"

Kakashi Hatake said, "Because...it's my intuition."

His intuition told him that he could continue fighting Akatsuki and there was no need to worry about the Tsuchikage causing trouble.

"..." Everyone was speechless, even the Mist Ninja team was stunned.

intuition?

It should be noted that the Akatsuki members present were very strong, and the Third Tsuchikage seemed to be neutral, intending to watch both sides suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, both Konan and Deidara can fly, so if they continue to fight Akatsuki, they will almost certainly lose. But Kakashi said they could continue fighting.

Or should we rely on intuition?

How could someone rely on intuition to make a judgment about a situation where defeat and death are possible?

What's going on?

Kakashi Hatake said in a deep voice, "Give it your all."

Might Guy gave a thumbs up, his white teeth flashing, and said with a hearty smile, "Intuition? Kakashi, I trust your intuition. After all, you're an important opponent for me!"

"Eight Gates Formation, Seventh Gate, Gate of Shock—Open!"

Might Guy firmly believed in Kakashi's intuition and unleashed his strongest power to date. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his entire body emitted azure steam. The high-temperature steam blew across the sea like air currents, and huge waves rose up in all directions.

"Day Tiger——!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Might Guy slammed his palms together, compressing a high-density airflow in his palms. The airflow shot out like an air cannon, transforming into a silver-white tiger's head, which tore at Deidara with lightning speed.

"Chakra Cannon? It looks like... airflow." Deidara controlled the clay dragon and flew backward a great distance, easily avoiding the ferocious Day Tiger.

“My art is flawless. Your mobility is far inferior to mine, hmm!” Deidara reached into his leather bag and looked down at Might Guy with a smug expression. He could control a clay dragon to fly in the sky, while Might Guy could only watch him fly from the sea.

The two sides are indeed very different in terms of mobility, and Might Guy is a close-combat ninja with very limited long-range attack methods!

Might Guy's lips twitched slightly, then he looked up at Deidara, who was riding a giant dragon, and said with fervor, "Jump down, let's have a thrilling duel between men! A thrilling duel is what youth is all about!"

He was indeed helpless against Deidara, because Deidara flew in the sky with a giant dragon, while he could only watch helplessly as Deidara flew.

Although Day Tiger can attack from a very long distance, the problem is that the moment Day Tiger is activated, Deidara will immediately control the dragon to move. Day Tiger does not have a tracking function, so how can Deidara be dealt with?

And... besides Deidara, Minami can fly too!

Deidara said speechlessly, "Are you an idiot? Your Eight Gates formation looks dangerous, how could I possibly jump down there, huh!"

He is a long-range guerrilla ninja, and his taijutsu is only at the Jonin level. Might Guy, on the other hand, is obviously a taijutsu ninja. How could he possibly run over and confront a taijutsu ninja head-on?

Simply dropping bombs from the sky is enough!

"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone!" Sarutobi Asuma threw a shuriken, then quickly formed hand seals, and the shuriken flying in the air multiplied into nearly a hundred, all of which bombarded Deidara like a mountain range.

Deidara controlled the clay dragon, moving rapidly to the side, with all the shurikens whizzing past him.

Deidara looked down at Sarutobi Asuma and said sarcastically, "How could something like that possibly hit me? You're underestimating me!"

"Although this might offend Scorpion Dana, my art is all about that one moment of explosion, which is fundamentally different from Dana's amazing puppet comedy!"

Deidara pulled a handful of clay from his leather bag, popped it into his mouth, chewed it rapidly, and mumbled, "Let me show you my most satisfying work so far, hmm!"

He planned to use C4 to eliminate everyone present, and then go to Sasori of the Red Sand to deal with the Tsuchikage.

“C4…” Deidara hadn’t finished speaking.

A massive burst of chakra enveloped the entire area. This terrifying chakra aura caused a dramatic change in the expressions of everyone present. Even the Jonin-level powerhouses present, upon sensing this destructive chakra, showed fear and were drenched in sweat.

Everyone stopped fighting at the same time, and their expressions gradually became serious. Even Onoki could feel a heavy sense of crisis from the sudden appearance of chakra.

"What...what terrifying chakra!" Everyone present looked solemn. This terrifying chakra was probably beyond the Kage level.
