In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Yeah, about right," Ino replied, looking up at the well-preserved towering tree. "What were you looking at? What's going on around you?"

As a ninja, this is one of the compulsory courses.

"No, just looking around." Naruto said, "The surroundings are open, and there are not many obstructions. The mission target has already left, and the chance of returning..."

That kind of thing is not easy to talk about, so I just dropped the topic.

The atmosphere in the Fire Temple was oppressive, and as darkness approached, Asuma asked everyone to stay overnight at the Fire Temple, deciding to go out and investigate again tomorrow.

After several days of investigation, Team 10 found nothing. Given the long time since the incident, the summer weather, and the recent heavy rain, there weren't many traces left.

If Team 8, who are good at tracking, could assist, things might go much more smoothly.

However, there is a certain degree of overlap between the auxiliary positioning of the Tenth Squad and the Eighth Squad. Since the purpose of the mission is just to investigate, there is no problem in sending the Tenth Squad.

After several days of no progress on the mission, Asuma was at his wit's end, chain-smoking more and more. Di Lu, on the other hand, appeared to be taking it all in stride, not feeling at all timid.

High-altitude reconnaissance relies on Ino's mind-turning technique, which allows her to control birds for large-scale searches. However, Ino can only control one bird at a time, and the flight distance is not very far.

At night, after Ino finished washing up, she saw Naruto standing in the corridor staring at a place in a daze.

"What are you doing there?"

"It's okay." Naruto's eyes were a little evasive, and he looked like he was frightened by something, and his voice trembled slightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Ino didn't care about being reserved anymore and ran over quickly, a little out of breath, "What... is wrong with you?"

She was panting slightly, frowning, and looked a little anxious. She asked "What's wrong with you" twice in a row, staring at Naruto intently. Naruto was frightened by her and quickly said that he was fine.

Where Naruto could see from the corner of his eye, a panel quietly emerged.

[Option 1: Protect Chilu/Asuma (Only one person survives tonight), Reward: Maximum level of Wind Style Ninjutsu. (Choose one)]

[Option 2: Kill Hidan Kakuzu tonight. Reward: Hymn to the Evil God (Eliminates all eye effects once).]

The interface had suddenly popped up a minute ago. He paid no attention to anything else but saw the two glaring words "Tonight." Tonight? Kakuzu and Hidan were coming soon?

Naruto looked at Ino in front of him, his face more serious than ever.

He hadn't figured out a good way to deal with Hidan yet. That evil mystical technique was too bizarre. He couldn't let him take his blood; if he did, it would be the end of him.

Curse, death by blood.

What a mess of incantations, and it came from some ethereal evil god! Damn it! What kind of idiotic thing is that? The effect is too incredible, and there is no martial ethics at all.

The technique of stabbing yourself to death and severely injuring others.

Looking at the reward for option two, Naruto was furious, but he could do nothing about it. This rotten system had been giving out some evil god rewards lately, like "evil god lackeys" or "evil god blessings."

Now he has also created a Hymn of the Evil God, and although the effect is pretty good, the problem is how is he going to kill Kakuzu Hidan now?

The best way was to kill Kakuzu first and control Hidan. He could deal with Kakuzu, just killing him five times would be enough, but Hidan... he really didn't feel comfortable letting Ino face Hidan.

This is so fucking weird. He would really go crazy if something happened to Ino.

A chaotic thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately regretted not bringing Kyuubi with him. However, he couldn't care less about that at the moment, so he pulled Ino and walked into the temple.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go inside first." Naruto said.

Naruto's grip was so tight that Ino couldn't break free. Even though she was completely confused, she could only let him lead her. Her eyes fluttered, and just as she was about to say something, she felt her heart tighten.

For no apparent reason, the ninja's sixth sense gave a warning.

"Let's go!" Naruto didn't care about anything else and pulled Ino to the back hall.

With Asuma and Dilu in the back hall, holding back Kakuzu and Hidan wouldn't be a problem. As long as Ino was sent to a safe location, he wouldn't be tied down.

With a loud bang, the newly repaired courtyard wall collapsed.

"Oh? You're still practicing, you're really not afraid of death!" Feiduan's arrogant voice rang out in the night wind.

Chapter 225: The Fake Ninja Makes Seven Seals in One Second

"Let's go." Naruto lowered his voice, without stopping, and pulled Ino towards the back hall.

The two of them crossed the back hall smoothly. The loud noise in the front hall attracted the monks guarding the temple. Jilu and Asuma also rushed over and ran into Naruto and Ino.

"What's going on?" Asuma asked.

Seeing Lao Ma coming, Naruto calmed down a little, let go of Ino's hand and pushed her over.

"They're coming."

They? Asuma frowned, clearly not going to ask who they were. After days of searching for the mission's target, who else could it be besides the Undead Duo?

It was at this time, and it was already dark, so the battle was not at his advantage. He naturally trusted his disciples and was not too worried.

Di Lu dispersed the monks and asked them to hide separately.

The peace of these days was broken in an instant. The surviving monks might still be in panic, and the land did not give them the courage to face death.

"Let's go and take a look first." Asuma glanced at the three disciples behind him.

Shikamaru and Choji also rushed out. They always played as a team, with Shikamaru and Ino's interference and control as the main force. Choji acted as a tank or attacker, making up for the three's low attack and defense.

Naruto was completely free, and he glanced at Ino. He knew it was impossible for her to be alone, but as long as she stood with Shikamaru and Chouji, she would be safer.

Just as Naruto was struggling with how to remind everyone to be careful of Hidan's sinister methods, footsteps were heard behind him.

"Be careful of the sickle of one of them. Be careful not to get your blood taken by it." Di Lu rushed over and said in a low voice, "According to the information provided by the surviving monk in the temple, the man licked the blood of another monk and stabbed himself with the knife. The man survived, but the monk did."

Asma kept walking, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What is that, a spell?"

"I don't know what I'm thinking. It's an evil technique." Di Lu kicked open the door to the back hall with a serious expression. "In short, it's best to be careful. I'll ask your disciples to be more careful."

The frail master transformed into Fahai and took the lead towards Kakuzu and Hidan.

Feiduan was just bored and killed a monk. He carried a huge blood-red sickle on his shoulder and covered his eyes with one hand as if looking towards the back hall.

A door suddenly opened, and Dilu, wearing half-sleeves, stepped out, glaring at Kakuzu and Hidan, the two who had once slaughtered the Fire Temple. With new grudges and old grudges, Dilu, having learned the information, showed no sign of disrespect.

With a bang, the kunai with a detonating tag made a low, miserable whimpering sound and shot towards Kakuzu and Hidan from both sides like lightning.

"Hidan." Kakuzu said in a muffled voice.

The moment Kakuzu called out Hidan's name, Hidan reacted instantly, and the two of them jumped away in tacit understanding.

With a bang, a burst of fire erupted in the darkness, a powerful explosion sending up a cloud of dust. Asuma leaped high, his knuckle-like chakra blade in hand, slashing at Kakuzu before he even touched the ground.

Di Lu, radiating golden light, charged directly at Kakuzu. No one threatened, no foreplay. The sound of breaking wind and roaring roars filled the darkness, and a battle erupted.

Naruto ran in an arc, throwing two Flying Thunder God kunai from left and right. The kunai thrown by Shikamaru and Ino whizzed and rushed towards the place where Hidan landed after taking off.

Night Breeze was suppressed at this moment, which actually made the battle atmosphere more terrifying. Kakuzu and Hidan had many ways to save their lives and were not afraid of anything.

With a clang, Kakuzu engaged Asuma. His two tiger-finger blades slashed out, sending a powerful blast of air flying, sending Kakuzu flying. He slammed heavily into the broken temple wall, his arm bones instantly breaking and twisting at a terrifying angle.

Hidan was sent flying backwards by Dilu's punch. Like a kite with its string cut, he slammed into a stone pillar at breakneck speed. A crack appeared instantly, and the pillar collapsed, crushing him underneath. He finally gave up, spitting out blood with a loud "wow" sound.

Naruto was slightly surprised. Asuma and Jiru were clearly not ordinary characters. They both possessed at least the strength of elite jonin. Not everyone was as talented as Kakashi, but they were roughly 70% as talented as him.

If Kazi-ge becomes the unit of measurement in the ninja world, ninety-nine percent of people won't be able to rank.

boom!

Flying Thunder God Kunai arrived behind Hidan and Kakuzu one after the other. Naruto's pupils dilated slightly, and he held a Rasengan in each hand. A strange red chakra dyed the Rasengan red, and the wind and waves surged into the sky, swooping down.

The moves were fierce, the momentum was unstoppable, and like a ferocious beast, he pressed down on Kakuzu. The chakra inside the Rasengan spun at high speed like a meat grinder, hitting Kakuzu hard and leaving him feeling cold.

Kakuzu howled in pain, half his chest suddenly caved in, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His heart instantly shattered, and one of his five lives was instantly shattered.

Obviously, Kakuzu was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Flying Thunder God. The second and fourth generation of Konoha had been dead for a long time, and Kakuzu did not expect that someone would use such a forbidden technique.

But Kakuzu was a centenarian immortal who had lived from the first generation to the fifth generation after all, and he quickly realized that these were the famous skills of the fourth generation of Konoha, Yellow Flash, Flying Thunder God and Rasengan.

Time passed slowly, and Naruto's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. Kakuzu didn't have time to remind Hidan. On the other side, just as Hidan climbed out from under the stone pillar, the Flying Thunder God Kunai arrived.

Just now, when Di Lu punched him so hard that his body was bent like a shrimp, he realized how terrifying the power of this bald man worth 30 million was. Although he would not die, he would still feel pain.

Hidan's face was filled with pain, his anger reaching its peak at this moment. He was pale, and the Akatsuki robe on his chest was stained black with blood. The punch was quite powerful, and his stomach felt nauseous, as if it were churning.

Just as he was about to show his true strength to kill Di Lu, a strong sense of crisis hit him. He subconsciously turned sideways, and the other half of his body was instantly sucked into the Rasengan.

After a loud bang, Feidan flew out again, and the bones of his arm were directly rolled out. Once again, he was attacked again. The moment he flew backwards, he saw the man's face clearly.

Damn it! Why is it a little devil!

He was in disbelief, his eyes filled with horror. If he had been knocked away by Di Lu's punch, it would have been fine. But... the one who injured him was just a teenager!

Naruto was incredibly fast, and with a roar, the fiery red Rasengan smashed into the ground, creating a deep crater. The destructive power alone was astonishing, but it was a shame that Hidan was lucky enough to dodge it, otherwise, Hidan would have been beheaded by now.

After Feiduan dodged, he immediately became calm and fled far away.

"Kakuzu, save me!" he shouted a little jumpily.

Kakuzu was not in a much better situation. After releasing a tragically dead Earth Wrathful Yu, he slowly walked out of the smoke and dust, followed by three faceless monsters.

He ignored Hidan, his green gaze passing over Asuma before settling on the yellow-haired man. Aside from being younger, almost all of his features matched, and Naruto's image gradually began to overlap with a certain figure in Kakuzu's mind.

"The Yellow Flash of Konoha? Who are you?" Kakuzu asked, his voice not quite calm. "No, the Yellow Flash of Konoha is long dead."

Asuma clenched his chakra knife. He had just witnessed Naruto's unparalleled explosive power, and suddenly realized how correct the Godaime's decision was.

The future of the village indeed lies in this new generation of children.

Facing the three faceless earth wretch beside Kakuzu, Asuma hesitated to act rashly. Shikamaru and the other two nervously formed hand seals, ready to form them at any moment.

Naruto's combined battle with Asuma and Jilu had opened up a gap, seemingly securing the upper hand. However, the opponents who should have been dead or seriously injured were now alive and kicking, creating a strange scene.

Naruto's only regret was that he didn't knock off Hidan's head. If his head and body were separated, he would be unable to move. Now that he had broken one of Hidan's arms, it didn't have much impact at all.

"It has nothing to do with you, old man." Naruto took out a new Flying Thunder God Kunai. The ones he just threw out were disposable. The only ones that could be used repeatedly were the one or two given by the system.

Hearing this, Kakuzu's expression instantly turned ferocious. Naruto's words were a bit too sharp, almost causing his hundred-year-old Dao heart to waver, and he was about to blurt out curses.

Every evil person will be punished by another evil person. The other people present did not know the details of the immortal duo, but Naruto knew.

"Kid, I hope you can still be stubborn when you beg for mercy later." He twisted Feiduan's injured hand over and stuffed the bone in, and it seemed to be usable again.

"You are even more useless." Naruto was very frugal with words and was even unwilling to use more words to evaluate Hidan, but his eyes were always on Hidan.

I can't feel at ease unless I kill that guy.

"You're such a brave boy!" Feiduan raised his sickle and aimed it at everyone in Konoha.

Naruto was happy when his opponent didn't show his true strength. Fighting was a battle of intelligence and timing. Underestimating your opponent is the path to disaster.

Behind Naruto, a blood-red nine-tailed fox stood up, its chakra so condensed it seemed to be real. Its face was unclear, but its pupils glowed with a blood-red light.

It slowly condensed like an evil ghost crawling out of the underworld, emitting a terrifying aura.

Di Lu made a hand seal, and a Thousand-Armed Buddha appeared behind him, illuminating a corner of the darkness with dazzling golden light. His resolute face revealed his unwavering determination to fight to the death.

The Fire Temple was the fruit of his life's work. The damned abbot was traveling everywhere, leaving him to run the temple alone. After more than a decade of hard work, he finally became the number one in the Fire Temple.

When he returned, the Fire Temple was destroyed and his handsome young monks were almost completely slaughtered. Given his personality, he would never seek help from Konoha.

But he remembered his last encounter with Naruto and recalled his advice. He wanted revenge and wanted to kill those ungrateful Akatsuki members, so he gritted his teeth and spent money to hire help.

Tonight, when the enemies met, their eyes were full of jealousy, and he had only one thought in his mind.

"Amitabha, die for me!"

Asuma wasn't too nervous about meeting an immortal for the first time. He turned his head slightly to look at Hidan, thinking to himself, "Is it all just a matter of being careful about this guy drawing blood?"

He glanced at Jilu and Naruto, one wearing red and the other gold, and immediately wanted to add some color to his clothes. However, he didn't have any, so he could only light a cigarette awkwardly.

"Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, support from a distance, don't get too close." He said, fearing that his three little disciples would be accidentally injured. After all...

"Tsk." Feiduan said disdainfully, but his whole body instantly transformed into the black form of the spellcasting form.

The battle begins again.

This time, Naruto took the lead, throwing out seven or eight Flying Thunder God Kunai, which pierced Hidan and Kakuzu in all directions, surrounding them as closely as possible.

"Get out! Don't get into the range of that brat's kunai." Kakuzu commanded Hidan, "I'll deal with that brat, you lead them away!"

With that, two Earth Grudges attacked Asuma and Earth Riku respectively, while Kakuzu himself, accompanied by a Earth Grudge, charged towards Naruto. Hidan's only targets were the three members of Team 10, and he let out a sinister grin.

Almost instantly, Hidan understood Kakuzu's tactics. Encircle Wei to save Zhao, kill the three Genin brats, and force the other three to reveal their weaknesses.

This way, as long as they succeed, they will have an advantage. Even if they fail, with their immortal power, they won't suffer any serious losses. That's the idea.

Naruto had already rushed out, not having time to think about anything else. The hundred-meter distance was almost reached in an instant. A ground-savage beast flew over like a ghost, opened its mouth as if to launch a tailed beast ball, and launched a lightning ninjutsu towards him.
