In the sky, Payne galloped.

On the ground, Artoria pursued.

Heavenly one, he didn't want to fight, he just wanted to quickly extract the nine-tails from the human pillar force and retreat.

On the ground, she is not in a hurry to kill, she just wants to chase people and find her body.

After a simple fight, Artoria was relatively contemptuous of this so-called 'reincarnation eye' at this time.

The ability of the eye of reincarnation is very complicated,

In terms of intelligence alone, it is the absorption of chakra, the transformation of the body, the repulsion of gravity, and the spiritual soul......

But in fact, after the fight, she was polite and evaluated, which was more ordinary.

Even, it is not as good as the original four generations of Thunder Shadow.

Each ability sounds strong, but when taken together, when applied to a person, Artoria feels that each ability is ordinary.

Of course, it is also possible that Payne has already fought a long battle, and in terms of physical strength, he is a little exhausted.

But one thing is clear, that is, Payne in front of him is not the ontology.

About this, it was Konoha who spent a day and a night of hard fighting, and got the information.

'Only by solving the ontology can the entire organization be disintegrated. ’

Artoria's voice ignored the distance and was passed on to Itachi Uchiha, who was far away from Konoha Village.

I'm still looking, and there are very few traces of them. ’

In the dense forest, Uchiha Itachi opened the eyes of the three-hooked jade writing wheel, scanning everywhere.

That powerful insight, paying attention to every detail in the field of vision.

But all the time, no trace of the movement of Xiao Organization and others could be found.

Not to mention finding Payne's body hiding in the shadows through these traces.

He's now circling around the periphery of Konoha without looking for the main body or the rest of the Akatsuki organization. Artoria synchronized the situation here, her eyes fixed on Payne in the sky, I don't know when, both of them slowed down, but neither of them made the first move.

Even in the end, he stopped.

Yes, Payne stopped in mid-air, stopped flying, and just looked straight at Artoria on the ground, who had also stopped.

Neither of them spoke, but neither moved, and the situation became delicate.

"You're strong."

Eventually, Payne broke the silence.

Yes, strong.

Neither the masked man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha, nor even the former demigod of Rain Hide, gave him such pressure.

In other words, since I really mastered the eye of reincarnation, no one has ever given such a sense of oppression.

With swordsmanship alone, he slashed his own Shinra Heavenly Expedition, which had never been done before.

But that doesn't mean that Payne is afraid of the blonde girl in front of him.

"yes......"

Artoria looked at him calmly, "You're not as strong as I expected. ”

didn't mean to praise each other, she gave her own evaluation very bluntly.

And, very sincerely.

Sincerity is often the biggest killer, especially when it comes to saying things that are not good for you.

If someone else had said these words, Payne might have felt that it was the other party's tactic.

By demeaning yourself, making yourself impatient, and making yourself full of loopholes.

He has always scoffed at such behavior.

How could these mortals understand the power of God?

But this time it was completely different, from the heroic face and high-spirited momentum of the girl in front of him, all Payne could feel was sincerity.

She really, can't look down on her own combat power.

“…… You're right. ”

But Payne had to admit that she was qualified to make such an evaluation when she broke her own HRE Heavenly Expedition as soon as they met, and then cut down three puppets one after another.

"You're strong, not like you're from this world."

"Your swordsmanship, your countenance, your momentum."

"I have an intelligence chain all over the ninja world, but I haven't found any characters and skills like you in the history of any country."

At this, he paused, his gaze fixed on the longsword in Artoria's hand, "Your sword is very interesting, from above, I can feel a wave of power that is greater than that of the Tailed Beast. ”

"I remember, from the information I know, Uchiha Itachi also has a golden sword, the same as yours?"

"Is your strength derived from the sword?"

Artoria, of course, wouldn't explain this to him, and instead, she stared into Payne's eyes, "Your eyes are interesting too. ”

The implication is extremely clear.

Babbling –

And at this moment, in the forest behind him, the sound of footsteps gradually increased.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru, caught up.

"What's going on now?"

When the two arrived, they didn't attack Payne in the sky, but they didn't approach Artoria either, just asked from a distance.

"I want to find his true nature."

Artoria was not shy about sharing her tactics with her allies, "but he found out what I was trying to do, so he ......"

Didn't go on, but the situation became clear.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru glanced at each other, nodded silently, and slowly approached Artoria.

"What about you Uchiha people?"

Then, Jiraiya asked again.

"New information, the Xiao organization also divided its troops and went to the Temple of Fire."

Artoria replied, "On our way here, we met the ninja monks of the Fire Temple asking for help, and some of them were led by Shisui to reinforce them. ”

"Where's the Eight-Tails?"

And at this time, Orochimaru, who had not spoken, suddenly said.

"That's right, what about the Eight-Tails, the purpose of the Akatsuki organization ......"

Jiraiya also seemed to remember something, and turned his head reluctantly.

"At Itachi's place, the purpose of the Akatsuki organization may be to collect tailed beasts."

Artoria understood what they were going to say, "Before I came, Itachi asked me to ask you if the Hyuga side had any advice on the Hyuka organization about collecting tailed beasts?" ”

Although the Uchiha is a thousand-year-old family, they have lost too much because of the war.

According to Uchiha's understanding, the Hyuga clan has always been a moderate development strategy, in addition to rarely participating in wars, they often join forces with other ninja families, perhaps, their history of the ninja world will be better preserved than that of Uchiha.

Akatsuki organization, it is impossible to collect tailed beasts for no reason.

“…… No. ”

Jiraiya frowned, "From Naruto's capture to now, it's only been a day. ”

"For almost all the day, we were in a state of fighting."

"Perhaps, they haven't had time to go through the books of the clan yet."

"Maybe the Hyuga clan is like us, and there is a lack of historical records in this area." Artoria didn't give them a chance to think deeply, and bluntly said that she helped Hinata unlock the possibility of 'knowing and not reporting'.

At this moment, it is also what they should do to avoid civil strife as much as possible.

At the same time, she passed on these situations to Itachi through her heart.

Based on the special connection between the two of them, even if they act separately, they can maintain an absolute tacit understanding.

"I need to remind you of that."

At this time, Payne in the sky spoke, "We know the organization, but we don't just attack Konoha and the Temple of Fire. ”

"We have a lot of goals this time."

"With these tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha and Uchiha, will you have time to put out the fire?"

His tone was calm, and he was not in a hurry to be stared at by the three of them.

Just now, Artoria didn't shy away from Payne in their conversation.

In this case, it is unlikely that they will plot in a whisper, so they simply talk about some information that neither side cares about.

"It's not just Konoha and the Temple of Fire......"

Artoria's face was as usual, but in her heart, she had already begun to discuss with Itachi about the other party's possible actions.
