Eleven of the thirteen mountains outside Konoha Village have been flattened by Xili's fist training, leaving only two mountains in the northwest.
Itachi led Kisame to the highest one.
Pain's Six Paths are puppets, and the black rods on their bodies are chakra receivers, in order to make it easier to transmit chakra without losing more.
As the real body, Nagato will definitely choose the highest place as this ‘command tower’.
This is also the reason why Nagato has been staying at the highest point in the Rain Country Tower Forest. It is not because of the high level of the tower, but to better control Pain.
Whizzing!
Two figures quickly passed through the forest, with a clan emblem clearly branded on the clothes behind them, representing the Uchiha clan's Uchiha clan emblem.
"The information is in this direction, be careful."
"Know."
Uchiha Izumi raised her eyes and looked at the black crow guiding the way in the sky and warned, while Uchiha Sasuke, who was following her, responded with a cold face.
Is it really the same as what Sister Quanmei said?
Brother... He's just a spy sent by Konoha. He didn't actually betray the village?
A scarlet color flashed across Uchiha Sasuke's pupils, and the three Magatama Sharingan rotated, suddenly turning into a six-pointed star pattern.
Mangekyō Sharingan!
Uchiha Sasuke put one hand in front of his eyes, and he also had the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Itachi once said that when he also gets this power, he will know the answer to everything. He has seen the stone tablet at the Uchiha clan's ancestral hall.
He was still confused.
"You can't run away this time."
Uchiha Sasuke said a word, kicked his legs hard, and suddenly accelerated towards the highest mountain.
…
Northwest of Konoha Village, one of only two remaining peaks.
On the top of the mountain, Shizhi is hiding in a cave disguised as a big tree.
"Itachi? Kisame?"
Konan looked at the two people who suddenly appeared, and immediately became alert and stood in front of Nagato, "What are you two doing here?"
Nagato has difficulty moving, and at this time, his mental energy is controlling Pain's Six Paths.
Of course, Konan would not let Itachi and Kisame get close.
Fortunately, Itachi and Kisame stopped ten steps away, and both parties had a tacit understanding to maintain this subtle 'friendship'.
"I received information from Bai Zetsu that Konoha has discovered your whereabouts and has sent a special team over."
Itachi said expressionlessly, making it difficult to tell whether it was true or false.
The only advantage of having facial paralysis is that you can talk nonsense seriously, but it is difficult for others to detect that you are lying!
Konan frowned slightly and turned to look at Nagato.
"Special team? Who?"
Nagato frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.
He subconsciously thought that Uchiha Itachi would say that there was a Bull Demon King among the members of the special team. If that guy came, he really had no confidence in taking away the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.
Even if there are Kakuzu and Hidan on standby outside.
Uchiha Itachi didn't miss the unnatural look that flashed on Nagato's face.
The leader of the Akatsuki organization doesn't seem to be as scary as he imagined. The guy who calls himself a god is actually afraid of that guy Xili?
If Itachi hadn't been paralyzed, he might have laughed.
A sneer smile, a mocking smile.
"It's unclear at the moment, but it shouldn't be the Bull Demon King. After Bai Jue's investigation, the current location of the Bull Demon King is locked within the Kingdom of Thunder."
Uchiha Itachi said calmly.
Nagato and Konan knew this news, otherwise they would not have dared to blatantly attack Konoha to capture the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
At this moment, Xiaonan's tone dropped.
"coming!"
Then she concentrated for a moment and added, "There are two people, less than a kilometer away from us."
"He's coming for us!"
After getting Konan's information, Nagato believed Itachi's words.
Their hiding spot has indeed been exposed, but Konoha only sent two people to form a special team?
Do you look down on him too much?
"Where's the direction?"
"southeast."
"Aren't Kakuzu and Hidan on standby in the forest to the southeast? Let them stop Konoha's special team!"
Nagato said this.
"Um."
Xiaonan nodded slightly and formed a seal with one hand.
A piece of paper separated from her arm, floated into the air under Xiaonan's control, and then folded into a butterfly and flew out.
Sudden!
A hot breath suddenly burst out, and the sealed space suddenly evaporated like boiling water, and even the air was distorted by the hot air waves.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
At the same time that Uchiha Itachi was taking action, Inikaki Kisame was not idle either.
With an almost subconscious movement, Kisame pulled out Samehada with his backhand and slashed it with his sword. In an instant, he smashed the paper butterfly that Konan had released to report the message to pieces.
Whizzing!
Two figures flickered, instant body technique!
Kisame stopped in front of Konan.
After Itachi spit out a fireball, he moved directly to the right side of Nagato. Without seeing how he did it, several kunai with detonating talismans were already shot out.
There is an extremely hot fire ball in front, and a cunningly angled kunai on the side.
It is impossible to guard against a sudden sneak attack.
"Nagato, be careful!"
Konan was not a fool. The moment Itachi and Kisame took action, she knew that the two people in front of her had betrayed Akatsuki.
In other words, Itachi was already planning to expose himself.
No matter it was Uchiha Obito and Zetsu, or Nagato and Konan, no one had ever trusted Uchiha Itachi.
Konan didn't need to remind him that Nagato was always on guard against Itachi and Kisame who shouldn't have appeared.
Moreover, a sneak attack of this level cannot hurt him even if he is not prepared!
"Shinra Tenzheng!"
A repulsive storm stronger than the power of heaven and more violent broke out.
Buzz!!
The huge fireball and the kunai shot from the blind spot were completely blown away. One of the kunai even flew backwards and flew directly in front of Uchiha Itachi.
The three Magatama Sharingan opened in Itachi's eyes, catching the scattered traces of kunai. His body was as strong as a spiritual ape, and he easily dodged all attacks.
Kunai tied with detonating talismans shot onto the four walls.
Spell activation.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded, which was particularly clear on this empty and silent mountain top.
…
"Explosion? Has the battle started?" Izumi raised her eyes to the top of the mountain and her face became serious.
"We have to hurry up."
Sasuke had already rushed out again before Izumi could speak.
…
"Hey, hey, that seems to be where the leader is hiding, right?"
"It seems we can't wait here any longer."
"Oh? I finally have something to do. It's so boring just sitting around."
"Humph, don't die too early."
I don't know why, but an ominous premonition welled up in Kakuzu's heart, just like when he met the Bull Demon King for the first time.
That sense of crisis that is full of death.
Hidan curled his lips and said nonchalantly, "No one can kill me!"
