Chapter Twenty-Four: Meet the Akatsuki Duo!
At the same time, the other side of Konoha. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ichiraku ramen shop.
"What?!, why am I going on a trip with you, a nice uncle!" Naruto said with a mouthful of ramen, slurring as he ate.
"Shut up...... Can't you just finish eating first?!" Jiraiya pulled off the noodles that had been squirted out of Naruto's mouth and hung on his arm with a black face, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Naruto quickly stirred two mouthfuls of noodles and took a mouthful of soup to swallow the food in his mouth.
"I mean, why should I go on a trip with you?"
"I said, not to travel, but to find a lady...... And it's not just us!"
"What's the matter with me, I don't know any lady!, besides, I still have to cultivate!" Naruto tilted his head in boredom.
"I'll settle the bill...... I'm invited today!" Jiraiya took out his wallet and paid for the ramen, and walked out of the ramen shop with Naruto.
"Hmph, don't think a bowl of ramen can buy me!" Naruto said impatiently. "I'm still going to train with Kakashi-sensei! I want Kakashi-sensei to teach me Chidori, Kakashi-sensei has only been concerned about Sasuke lately, it's really too partial......"
"Haven't you already learned the Spiral Pill?" said Jiraiya, digging his nose.
"That's different! Kakashi-sensei only teaches Sasuke and not us, how can he be so eccentric!"
Jiraiya stopped, turned his head to look at Naruto, and said seriously, "Naruto...... You can't learn that technique of Chidori, your chakra attribute is wind!, so you might as well travel with me!"
"Then I can learn from Sakura! Didn't Sakura say that I was only halfway through the Spiral Pill?" Naruto smiled smugly at the thought of it, "I'm going to learn this technique in its entirety, and then surprise Sasuke!"
"You're just thinking about how to compete with Sasuke all day long, it's really useless!" Jiraiya glanced at Naruto with disdain, turned around and continued walking, "Moreover, if you don't travel with me, you won't be able to learn the next stage of Spiral Pill!"
"Huh, why?" asked Naruto as he hurried two steps past Jiraiya and turned back.
"Hmph, of course because—"
"--Sakura-chan is going to go with us!"
"Huh, really?"
"Of course, we'll go to her now...... You can let her teach you a few more ninjutsu on the way!"
Looking at Naruto's excited expression, Jiraiya smiled slightly, remembering a conversation that happened before-
*******************************************************************************************
On the last day of June, in the afternoon before the Nakashinobi exam.
The rooftop of an office building in Konoha.
"Jiraiya-sama...... It's been a long time!You haven't been back to the village in years!" Kakashi said, leaning his back against the railing, "Is there anything wrong with me?"
"Not looking for you...... to be exact," Jiraiya said, leaning on the railing and looking at the scenery of Konoha, "but the kid......"
Jiraiya withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Kakashi.
"Kakashi, hand Naruto over to me......"
“…… Jiraiya-sama?" Kakashi looked back at in surprise.
"Three generations have left Naruto in your care, with his considerations. However, things have changed now......"
Jiraiya slowly told Kakashi about some of his important discoveries in intelligence over the past few years, the biggest of which was that there was an organization called "Akatsuki" that contained many dangerous wanted criminals, and there were signs of trying to collect tailed beasts!
"So you're going to take Naruto away......"
"That's right, for safety reasons, the best way to do that is to leave it to me...... After all," Jiraiya said solemnly, "every member in there is stronger than you!"
Kakashi thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"But if that's the case...... Can I ask you to bring another child?"
"It's troublesome enough to bring one...... "Zilai refused without even thinking about it, "Why, can't you even bring it?"
"Another member of my group...... Sakura Haruno!"
"I've heard her name, it's said that she is very talented in ninjutsu, but," Jiraiya frowned, he was not interested in being the king of children, Kakashi would be very wrong if he thought that taking children was his hobby, "An ordinary ninjutsu genius, is it worth being so solemn?
"It's not just ordinary talent, if it's just like that, how could I ask you!" Kakashi also turned around and leaned against the railing like Jiraiya, blowing a cool breeze and said, "You'll know if you've seen her ninjutsu, she has already independently developed Mizuto-sensei's Wind Escape Spiral Pill some time ago......"
Kakashi introduced it with some pride.
"Is the second stage of the Spiral Pill ......" Jiraiya thought of his amazing genius disciple who died young......
"You mean, she's a lot like Orochimaru?"
"No," Kakashi shook his head and dismissed Jiraiya's analogy, "If I had to say it, I think she's more like my teacher, the Shiyome Hokage!"
"Honestly, I don't think I can teach her anything useful anymore, so in order not to delay her growth, I think it's—"
"It's better to be exempt!Such a disciple, I don't teach more than you, to be honest, even if it's Mizumon, his ninjutsu is basically developed by himself, I'm just helping him apply for a lot of top-secret information!" Jiraiya waved his hand, interrupting Kakashi's words.
"......" Kakashi was silent.
"But," Jiraiya glanced at Kakashi, "Although I can't teach it, there are other people who can......"
"You mean ......!" Kakashi suddenly thought of the other person.
"That's right, isn't this child just the right fit for her to take with her? Some of their characteristics are exactly the same!"
"The rest of Sasuke, I'm sorry for you, Kakashi! Don't forget," Jiraiya said in a low tone, "That Uchiha Itachi is also in that organization!"
***************************************************************************************
“…… Itachi Uchiha, you really joined that organization!"
On the edge of a large river on the outskirts of Konoha.
Kakashi, Asma, and Red finally catch up with the Akatsuki duo in strange cloaks. Or is it that the two of them have already found a suitable battlefield, so they don't need to run away anymore?
Anyway, when I caught up, I saw five people facing each other, weapons in hand, and I heard Kakashi's words.
I landed on the water next to Kakashi.
"It seems that you know a lot about our organization......" The speaker was a ninja whose lower half of his face was covered by a cloak, and three magatama in a pair of blood-red eyes were slowly turning, exuding a strange charm, this ninja couldn't help but be attracted by his eyes as long as he looked at him......!
I felt this moment, and my spirit was in a trance...... Then wake up suddenly!
"Be careful, it's an illusion!" Red and Kakashi shouted at the same time!
"Oni Shark, take Kakashi away!" The sneak attack of the illusion was seen through, and Itachi did not hesitate to turn to a strong attack, "Everyone else, kill them!"
The oni shark sneered and raised the big knife to slash at us, and Itachi's hand hidden under his clothes trembled, and he didn't know what ninjutsu he was using!
"Be careful, don't look him in the eye!"
I heard Kakashi's anxious voice, and subconsciously looked into Itachi's eyes-
Everything in front of me slowly faded like the XP system was shutting down, and all the colors turned black and white, and then it swirled like a whirlpool to roll my consciousness into another world...... A feeling of fear crept up from the bottom of my heart, and I seemed to feel that if I really fell into it, it would be very dangerous! I struggled, and the passage of time slowed down, slower and slower, and I got closer and closer to being in that world.
"Ahh
I exclaimed, and everything in front of me suddenly returned to normal! Kakashi and Hong, who were beside me, had already fallen down softly! When I looked closely, the oni shark's muscles were already close at hand, and they were slashing down at Asma's head!
Asma blocked the blow with her twin blades!
It's just, the real offensive, the raging chakra induction, is down there-!
"Water Escape, Thousand Eaters!"
Countless giant sharks gathered in the water rushed out from under the water! Can't hide, Kakashi can't move!
"Absolute Defense!"
A large amount of extremely pure water was condensed into an egg-shaped shield to surround the four of us in the middle, forming an unbreakable defensive ball! Hundreds of water sharks constantly attacked the shield, and the overwhelming momentum made people tremble when they looked at it!
Boom!
After one last blow, the endless water shark finally stopped attacking! The boundless splash of water splashed into the air and fell from the sky, like a torrential rain, and it took a long time for the water surface to calm down.
"Red!Kakashi!Are you all right?," Asma asked anxiously.
Poof! Red spat out a mouthful of blood and said weakly, "I'm fine, it was just that the illusion was countered just now, but it was Kakashi, who was hit by Itachi's illusion head-on-"
"Whew, whew, I'm okay......" Kakashi's voice was weaker, barely able to stand.
"Damn!Sakura-chan, I can only drag it out, I hope someone notices soon!" Asma said to me solemnly!
The situation is very bad...... We've poured two, and the ferret on the other side is just panting slightly. At the moment of countering Red's illusion sneak attack, he also used Tsukiyomi to attack me and Kakashi at the same time, defeating both of them in an instant......! I smiled bitterly in my heart. Itachi is said to be a good man, but in this situation, I don't dare to expect him to be merciful to the killer, and I have to prepare for the worst!
However, there is really nothing to be done, and they can only hope that the ninjutsu movement of the ghost shark just now is too big, and they don't dare to stay here for a long time, that is, they can hold on a little longer. If I fight regardless of attrition, my combat strength will be very terrifying in a short period of time! It's time to fight with all my might!
I made up my mind!
"Sakura-chan!" Sasuke's voice suddenly came from afar! Damn, he probably saw me just now and followed!
I hurriedly shouted, "Sasuke, don't come here!"
Sasuke had already come to the river, "What's going on?"
Sasuke's voice stopped.
His eyes turned blood-red in an instant, and the two magatama rolled wildly in his eyes! Anger and hatred accumulated on his face, more and more!
"Uchiha Itachi ......" hatred to the extreme, anger to the extreme, Sasuke's voice became as if it was trembling!
The blue chakras converged in his hand, forming a blinding lightning bolt that made a huge noise like the chirping of a thousand birds!
"I'm going to ......" Chidori was stereotyped in Sasuke's assistant, and the dazzling light reflected Sasuke's face gloomy as ink, "Kill you!"
Chidori! Assault!
"Sasuke, don't go over!"
Despite the huge difference in strength, Sasuke was already carried away by hatred, and he only cared about rushing towards the Uchiha Itachi in front of him, ignoring even the sound of us stopping him!
Chidori is attacking the Itachi with great vigour!
Smack!
Uchiha Itachi just turned around slightly, and Chidori only hit an afterimage, and it was grabbed by Itachi's wrist!
The eyes of the two brothers met at this moment, Sasuke's eyes were full of anger, hatred and fear, and surprise at this moment, while Uchiha Itachi just looked down at Sasuke coldly, and the eyes of the three Magatama slowly turned with endless indifference.
"Stupid brother......" Itachi said softly with a slight movement of his lips.
"Ahh
Sasuke raised his left hand and shouted in pain!
Itachi's right hand snapped so hard that Sasuke's left arm was broken!
Sasuke didn't even have the strength to stand on the water, so he fell straight into the water and was fished out by me.
"Let it go! Sakura-chan!" Sasuke stood up trembling and shook off my chakra, "I'm going to do it myself...... Kill him!"
"Chidori!"
Although his left hand was broken, Sasuke barely sealed it, but he still used his right hand to condense a thousand birds, ready to continue charging at Itachi!
"Sakura-chan, didn't I tell you to let go!" Sasuke yelled angrily!
I shouted to Sasuke mercilessly, "Shut up!
"With your current strength, what can you do to Uchiha Itachi?! It's just a waste of life!"
Uchiha Itachi didn't move, even if the explosion just now was a big burden for him, but he should have recovered after so long, why didn't he move at all, but he was entangled with Sasuke! Could he really mean to release water? As soon as I thought of this, I felt that the chakra on the other side began to be active again! Sasuke was still here willful, it was really unbearable!
Qing Shui Dun tied Sasuke firmly, even sealed his mouth, and dragged it back, Sasuke couldn't resist at all! I'm not Sasuke's, I can't get used to his temperament!
"Come out! the one who was hiding next to you!" Itachi said suddenly.
A figure with a whole body green rushed out from the hidden place in the woods by the river: "Konoha haughty blue beast...... The madman Akai has arrived!"
"I think you're a rare beast!" the ghost shark complained lightly.
"Sure enough, it's you......" Itachi said softly, "Oni Shark, don't underestimate him...... In a way, he's tougher than Kakashi!"
It seems that he was jealous of Akai's existence just now......
"Kakashi, Hong, are you all okay?" Akai asked, standing in front of him and facing back.
"I'm fine, I've recovered a little now, it's just that Kakashi fell for Itachi's illusion and can't hold it anymore now......" Red said in a low voice.
"Red, Sakura...... You take Kakashi to the hospital first, and then," Akai turned to Itachi and Oni on the other side, "before the Shadows I assigned arrive...... I'll deal with you first!"
"Ghost shark...... Forget it!" Itachi stopped the ghost shark that was about to move, and said slowly, "Don't fight unless you need to......! Let's go!"
"Before you go......" Itachi suddenly added, "and one more sentence—"
"My stupid brother...... Why are you so weak?"
"That's because...... Your hatred isn't deep enough!"
At this moment, the three hooks in the eyes of the Uchiha Itachi spun wildly, converging into a big windmill, a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye!
"Wow, a
Sasuke shouted in pain, then his voice grew smaller and quieter, and he passed out unconscious!
The Uchiha Itachi and the oni shark turned around and left the place in an instant.
******************************************************************************************
Konoha Hospital.
On a small hospital room, Sasuke and Kakashi lay on it one on the left and one on the right.
"Sakura-chan, you're here! We've had so hard to find you!" Naruto shouted at me.
"Shhh
"Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei—what's wrong with them!?"
"Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei......" I sighed, "Let's go out and talk......"
I took Naruto and Jiraiya out of the room and walked down the hallway of the hospital to tell them what had happened that afternoon.
……
"Anyway, that's it! Kakashi and Sasuke are both severely traumatized, and the doctors at the hospital say that unless Tsunade-sama comes, they can't do anything about it......!"
"Is that so...... Then let's go and get Tsunade-sama back!" Naruto whispered!
"Then you must go and come back quickly!"
"Wrong...... Sakura!" said Jiraiya, who put his hand on my shoulder and looked at me. "It's not [you] ......!"
"Huh?" I didn't understand what Jiraiya meant.
"It's our ......!" said Jiraiya, looking at me earnestly.
"You, me, and Naruto, the three of us go find Tsunade!"
"Eh-??!!"
The plot has changed a lot?!
