Two figures with bamboo hats on their heads and auspicious black robes on their bodies walked forward in the yellow sand until they finally arrived at their destination.
Sand Hidden Village.
One of the five great ninja villages.
The location of Ichibi Shukaku.
The Akatsuki organization has a plan to collect tailed beasts, and they must be collected in strict accordance with the order of quantity. Now Sunagakure Village, the weakest among the five major ninja villages, is bearing the brunt.
"Xie Dan Na."
Deidara took out a clay bird directly from his pocket, stretched out his hand and threw it in the air. The clay bird instantly grew bigger!
"Leave it to me this time!"
Deidara stood on the clay bird while posing for the red sand scorpion: "Scorpion, how about my artistic shape?"
"Don't make me wait too long."
The Red Sand Scorpion responded coldly.
"certainly!"
"When Akihara Kagura captured Sunagakure Village by herself, I can do it too!"
Deidara turned back and smiled confidently at the Red Sand Scorpion, stepped on the clay bird under his feet and took off into the air, flying towards the direction of the Sunagakure Village, searching for traces of the first Jinchūriki of the Sunagakure Village!
"What a naive kid..."
The Red Sand Scorpion looked up at the clay bird flying in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh. This yellow-haired boy always spoke ill of Akihara Kagura in his ears, but he didn't even know that he had always said bad things about Akihara Kagura.
It’s the Shura Way of Akihara Kagura…
No matter how powerful Deidara is...
After all, there is a huge gap between the strength of Akihara Kagura.
I hope this yellow-haired boy will wake up soon and don't think that he can challenge Akihara Kagura after practicing for many years. It's just a small conflict in childhood. In the future, this yellow-haired boy will really die, and he will have to fight Akihara.
Kagura intercedes...
Just as the Red Sand Scorpion was thinking, the entire Sand Hidden Village suddenly broke into commotion. It seemed that the ninjas of the Sand Hidden Village had discovered the invading Deidara. Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage who had been approved by Konoha to succeed, stepped on a
Tuanhuangsha takes off to fight!
As a one-tailed jinchuriki, Gaara is not that easy to deal with. The sand manipulation technique can be commanded like an arm, and the sky is full of yellow sand chasing Deidara in the air...
"this…"
The Red Sand Scorpion looked a little speechless, and sighed in his heart, feeling that Deidara, a stubborn guy, really couldn't understand the situation: "Do you still want to challenge Akihara Kagura?"
Although the battle between Deidara and Gaara was indistinguishable, the battlefield between them was Sunagakure Village. In order to protect the villagers of Sunagakure Village, Gaara would inevitably have to restrain his hands when fighting, and was even borrowed by Deidara.
Machine conspiracy...
The sky above Sunagakure Village.
A ball of yellow sand swept towards Deidara, grabbed Deidara's arm tightly, and grabbed one of his arms!
Deidara didn't care about his arm falling, and took the opportunity to let the arm that was pulled off by the claws of sand secretly release a bunch of clay spiders in the yellow sand...
next moment!
Deidara once again scattered clay birds!
These clay birds flew directly towards Gaara, forcing Gaara to condense the yellow sand into a sand ball and wrap it around his body!
but…
This plays right into Deidara's hands!
Just when Gaara hid in the sand ball and thought he had escaped the attack of the clay birds, he saw small spiders emerging from the clay birds!
Boom!
There was an explosion throughout the sand ball!
The seriously injured Gaara could no longer maintain the maracas and fell directly from the air. Deidara controlled the giant clay bird to fly over suddenly and rolled up Gaara's body!
"One-tailed Shukaku, capture completed!"
A happy smile appeared on Deidara's lips.
"..."
The Red Sand Scorpion is completely incomprehensible.
This yellow-haired boy worked hard and even broke an arm to catch the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village. What on earth can he be proud of?
but.
Sunagakure Village did not give up.
On the one hand, Sunagakure Village sent flying eagles to ask for help from its ally Konoha, and on the other hand, it sent pursuers to track the traces of Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion. Kankuro, the puppet master, was the fastest!
However…
This time, Kankuro met the most powerful puppet master in the ninja world!
A barrel was drilled out of the Red Sand Scorpion's Scarlet Amber, and dozens of rockets with tail flames flew out, blowing Kankuro and his puppets away!
"Let's go."
The battle of Red Sand Scorpion is extremely cool.
"Xie Danna's artistic method..."
Deidara watched the Red Sand Scorpion resolve the battle neatly, grinned, and directly controlled the giant clay bird under his feet to fly into the distance.
"snort…"
The Red Sand Scorpion glanced at the giant clay bird in the sky.
Four steel pipes came out of Fei Liuhu's body. These steel pipes quickly spread and reorganized. Four spiral wings were derived from Fei Liuhu's body, driving Fei Liuhu's body to fly.
The giant clay bird quickly caught up with Deidara.
"What the hell is that..."
Kankuro lay in confusion in the desert, looking at his puppet parts scattered on the ground, a little unable to understand what kind of enemy he had encountered.
Without any resistance...
He was easily knocked to the ground by the enemy.
A group of Sunagakure ninjas quickly found Kankuro's traces and quickly took Kankuro back to recover from his injuries. Now that they had lost track of the enemy, they could only wait for a reply from Konoha.
Konoha Village.
Inside the Hokage Building.
Akihara Kagura came back from the Akatsuki organization first, and reported to Tsunade the news found by the roots. Two members of the Akatsuki organization were active in the Kingdom of Wind; at the same time, he deliberately sent people to summon the four Hokages to return and hold a collective meeting.
.
Naturally, this offer cannot be rejected.
While Tsunade sent people to notify the four Hokages to return to Konoha, she also sent people to Sunagakure Village to notify them and order them to explore the Akatsuki organization's intelligence.
However…
A letter asking for help from Sunagakure Village has arrived.
Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage, was kidnapped by the Akatsuki organization!
As the eldest brother in the alliance of great powers, Konoha must fulfill its eldest brother's responsibilities. Tsunade could not refuse Sunagakure Village's request for help. She immediately sent people to Sunagakure Village. The third team and the reorganized seventh team were directly
Sent out.
Root base.
Akihara Kagura was sitting in the office, flipping through scrolls, and Uchiha Sasuke knelt on one knee in front of him, listening in a low voice to the tasks assigned by Akihara Kagura.
"The seventh flight has already departed."
Akihara Kagura's fingers gently scratched the writing on the scroll and said: "Sasuke, follow them to monitor and protect them."
"The enemy is..."
Uchiha Sasuke remembered what Akihara Kagura once mentioned.
"It's just what you think."
Akihara Kagura put down the ninjutsu scroll in her hand and said softly: "People from the Akatsuki organization captured the Fifth Kazekage. If Naruto and the others are going to rescue the Kazekage, they will definitely encounter people from the Akatsuki organization..."
"Uchiha Itachi..."
Uchiha Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
Even if he may not be able to meet Uchiha Itachi this time, he can still take the opportunity to capture a member of the Akatsuki organization and extract information about Uchiha Itachi from those people!
"Go ahead."
Akihara Kagura waved her hand and asked Uchiha Sasuke to carry out the task.
When Uchiha Sasuke left, White Zetsu Awei emerged from the ground. It seemed to have known what Akihara Kagura was thinking: "Young man, do you want to report to Payne and the others?"
"Um."
Akihara Kagura nodded and said smoothly: "Go and report to him. The reinforcements sent by Konoha are just a group of little guys. They can be stopped by a random group of people from the Akatsuki organization..."
"good."
Bai Jue Awei drilled into the ground.
The actions of the Akatsuki organization were quite fast. After Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion captured Gaara, they immediately gathered together and began to extract the One-Tailed Shukaku from Gaara's body through the Nine Magic Dragon Seals. They hoped to get it as soon as possible.
Shukaku was sealed into the heretic demon statue.
Sand Hidden Village and Konoha also moved very quickly.
Konoha's Class 3 and Class 7 quickly arrived at Sunagakure Village.
After Kankuro woke up in Sunagakure Village, he also reported the enemies he encountered to the village's senior officials. The abilities displayed by the enemies he encountered immediately attracted the attention of Chiyo, the elder of the village.
"The enemy claims to be the puppet master..."
"Perhaps it should be the puppet master in the village, because he showed that he knew my puppet very well. I was no match for him. In an instant, he released a dozen flying bombs from his body, and with one move he
All my puppets were smashed..."
While Kankuro was reporting the enemy intelligence he encountered, he looked at the puppet that was blown to pieces with distress on his face: "That guy's fighting method is quite weird, even completely beyond my knowledge..."
"Let's follow their escape route..."
Granny Chiyo could only sigh helplessly. She probably guessed something, but she couldn't learn more from Kankuro's mouth.
However…
Sunagakure Village has never had a successor.
Grandma Chiyo wanted to verify her guess, so she directly followed Konoha's seventh team to track down the enemy's whereabouts; Konoha's third team also helped track down the enemy's traces.
at the same time.
The Akatsuki organization also received the information.
There are even detailed staffing arrangements.
Pain ordered Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion to prepare two living human bodies, and used the Elephant Turn Technique remotely to create two puppets of Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Uchiha.
Although these puppets only have one-third of their power, they should be enough to protect Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion from interfering with their progress in extracting the One-Tailed Shukaku.
Oasis in the desert.
Team 7 and Granny Chiyo followed the trail.
A figure wearing a root ninja's cape and a cat face was closely behind them and followed them all the way.
"Is there someone chasing us?"
Uzumaki Naruto always felt very subtle in his heart.
"..."
Hatake Kakashi was well aware of the root ninjas who were watching them from behind, so he perfunctoryly said to his disciples: "It must be an illusion, hurry up and track the traces of the Kazekage first..."
next moment!
Everyone's footsteps stopped involuntarily!
Because within their sight, a figure wearing a black robe of auspicious clouds appeared in the forest of this oasis, as if he was deliberately waiting for their arrival.
This figure…
It looks extremely familiar.
"Uchiha Itachi..."
Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but be shocked.
Everyone present stopped and looked at Uchiha Itachi nervously.
"Mr. Kakashi."
Uchiha Itachi's eyes opened slightly, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes: "I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Sorry, the road ahead is closed to traffic."
Although this Uchiha Itachi is just a elephant-turned-puppet with only 30% strength, it still has the strength to stop this team!
"Sasuke's brother..."
Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura had already heard of this name.
"The famous Weasel who destroyed the clan..."
Granny Chiyo sighed and remembered the legend created by the destroyed Uchiha: "You still have to be a little more careful, the Sharingan is not that easy to deal with..."
"Of course I won't underestimate him..."
Hatake Kakashi held his ninja forehead protector and whispered: "Although Uchiha Itachi was defeated by Kagura once, he has only been defeated by Kagura..."
Hatake Kakashi's fingers gradually brushed against his transplanted Sharingan. He has been working hard to cultivate this Sharingan in the past few years and gradually mastered some of its magical uses.
same.
Hatake Kakashi also felt a side effect.
That is, once you use the magical ability of the Sharingan, your eyesight will decrease and it will put a heavy burden on your brain and body.
"We may not have no chance of winning..."
Grandma Chiyo has rich experience and takes the initiative to teach these younger generations: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying about dealing with the Sharingan. One-on-one, you must escape; two-on-one, you will find your back... The four of us can definitely use one
People attracted his attention, and the remaining people attacked him from the blind spot of Sharingan, but I heard that this Uchiha Itachi is not a simple one..."
"Leave this to me."
A voice came from the forest.
With the sound of this voice, a figure wearing an animal mask, a Root Ninja uniform, and a Root cloak appeared in a tree.
"You continue to carry out the mission of rescuing Feng Ying..."
The palm of this root ninja pressed his animal mask tightly, and said in a cold voice: "Leave this to me, and I will deal with him..."
"People at the root..."
Haruno Sakura's expression immediately became solemn, and she frowned tightly: "Why are the people at the root following us..."
"Um?"
Uzumaki Naruto felt that the other party's attitude sounded familiar, and he touched his chin curiously: "Why is this guy so stinky when he talks..."
"..."
Kakashi Hatake rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"A root person?"
Grandma Chiyo's expression turned ugly.
Although the roots of Konoha have little reputation in the ninja world, the people standing behind the roots supporting the group of root ninjas are as tall as a giant tree, making people afraid to offend them!
"He also has his mission..."
After Hatake Kakashi softly defended the root ninja, he asked the other party: "If this guy is left to you, there will be no problem, right?"
"certainly."
The palm of this root ninja pressed his mask tightly: "You go do your thing, I will do mine, we will complete each other's tasks and then meet again..."
