Without saying a word, Hinata threw out both fists.
"Forty Gods Vacuum Attack + Eight Trigrams Mountain Breaker!"
The five Chakra Ray merged into one and blasted directly towards the door.
Outside the door, Itachi had just knocked when he sensed a deadly crisis and felt a chill run down his spine.
His years as a ninja had taught him that if he didn't dodge, he might die!
Kisame!
Itachi yelled and shoved Kisame away, using the force to dodge and retreat to the side.
However, although Itachi's reaction speed was fast, Hinata's Senjutsu Chakra Ray was even faster.
Hinata had already calculated the direction of her attack using her Byakugan; this move would definitely not harm any ordinary people.
Moreover, Hinata aimed this attack at Kisame.
'Boom--'
The Chakra Ray flashed and disappeared in an instant, shattering the room door and blasting a huge hole in the hotel wall.
In the corridor, specks of blood were visible.
Kisame crouched to the side in agony, his left hand clutching his right arm, his sleeve hanging empty; half of his arm had been blasted away by the Chakra Ray.
If Itachi hadn't pushed him, he might have really died here.
Itachi and Kisame looked into the room at the same time. Naruto was indeed in the room, but Hinata was also there, as was Sasuke.
"Itachi Uchiha!"
Sasuke roared, his right hand making a fist, his left hand supporting his right wrist, and the Chidori was completed in an instant.
'Squeak squeak squeak—'
Itachi Uchiha gave Sasuke a deep look, then turned to Kisame and shouted, "Retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi and Kisame simultaneously Body Flicker Technique away!
"Itachi Uchiha!"
Sasuke roared furiously, but at this point Itachi Uchiha was unlikely to stay and fight any longer.
With such a commotion here, if Jiraiya returns, even if we can't keep him, Kisame will really die.
Having lost an arm, Kisame can no longer Hand Seals.
Samehada was also lost in Konoha, Kisame was basically powerless to fight at this point.
Sasuke suddenly turned to look at Hinata, his eyes filled with madness, and roared, "Hinata!"
Hinata felt a pang of sympathy for Sasuke and said softly, "Come with me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hinata jumped out of the window, with Sasuke following closely behind.
Jiraiya appeared Body Flicker Technique, carrying a woman on his back. He glanced at the damaged inn, then threw the woman onto the bed. Without saying a word, he jumped out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Naruto: "..."
Can anyone tell me what exactly happened here?
Itachi Uchiha, supporting Kisame, quickly escaped to the outskirts of the town. Glancing at Kisame, Itachi asked casually, "Are you alright?"
Kisame gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "I didn't expect that little girl I met in Konoha would also follow me here."
"Who exactly is she? The Hyuga Clan has produced someone like her!"
Itachi Uchiha said calmly, "Her name is Hinata Hyuga."
Kisame's shark-like face contorted slightly, a murderous glint in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Hinata Hyuga? I'll remember her!"
Itachi Uchiha glanced at Kisame and kindly warned, "Next time you encounter her, you might die!"
Kisame didn't speak.
He was still confident in himself, and neither of his two encounters with Hinata gave him a chance to unleash his full potential.
The first time in Konoha, Kisame didn't dare to use a large-scale Ninjutsu; the second time was even more unlucky, Kisame didn't even have a chance to make a move, and Hinata broke his arm directly.
To be honest, Kisame's two encounters with Hinata were incredibly unlucky.
The first time I lost Samehada, the second time I lost my arm.
The third time could really cost me my life.
However, Kisame wasn't too worried, since Kakuzu was Kakuzu in the organization, and there was still hope that his arm could be healed.
Itachi Uchiha said in a deep voice, "She is a true genius. At the age of twelve, she has already injured you like this. If she were a few years older..."
Kisame fell silent upon hearing this.
He originally thought Hinata was like the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, a dwarf who would never grow up, but he didn't expect her to actually be a little girl.
That's a bit scary.
Forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't say anything!
Who hit me?
I have face blindness and a bad memory!
Itachi Uchiha suddenly turned around and glanced back. Kisame, seeing this, also turned around and glanced back.
"They're coming after us! And... Jiraiya is with us too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi Uchiha suddenly accelerated.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
Hinata and Sasuke chased after Itachi relentlessly, and in order to catch up with Itachi Uchiha as soon as possible, Sasuke used Lightning chakra to stimulate his cells.
He did increase his speed, but he was so exhausted he was about to collapse.
Hinata asked with some concern, "Hey! Sasuke! Are you alright?"
"Whoosh—"
Sasuke was so focused on chasing after the enemy that he was covered in sweat, panting heavily, and unable to utter a complete sentence.
Hinata: "..."
Forget it, let's just wait until he collapses from exhaustion.
After chasing for nearly twenty minutes, Sasuke stepped on a tree trunk, lost his balance, and fell straight down from the tree.
"This is really a headache!"
Hinata sighed helplessly, then scooped up Sasuke in her arms and placed him aside before sitting down against a tree trunk.
Sasuke had completely lost his will, and there were still glistening tears on his eyelashes.
Since the Uchiha Clan Extermination when he was seven years old, Sasuke has almost never cried.
He must have been feeling utterly frustrated by his own powerlessness!
Let alone fighting Itachi, we can't even catch up with him now, so how can we talk about fighting?
"Phew! I finally caught up with you guys. You guys were so fast!"
Jiraiya appeared in a flash, glanced at Sasuke, and then asked Hinata, "Little girl, what happened?"
"Hey! Pervy Sage!"
Hinata greeted them and then explained, "Don't you know about the Akatsuki? Itachi and Kisame came to Konoha to investigate Naruto, and then they followed us. Sasuke wanted to get revenge on Itachi, so he dragged me along to catch up with them!"
Jiraiya asked, "You guys were just fighting?"
"I don't think so!"
Hinata wasn't sure if what she just did counted as a fight; it was probably more like a sneak attack!
However, for ninjas, surprise attacks are the true way to fight.
After Hinata explained the whole process, Jiraiya nodded solemnly.
Akatsuki has indeed begun gathering information on the Tailed Beasts.
Jiraiya took this organization, composed entirely of S-rank rogue ninja, very seriously.
The Akatsuki had set its sights on the Tailed Beasts made Jiraiya even more wary.
Through his investigation of Orochimaru, Jiraiya discovered that Orochimaru actually harbored some fear towards the Akatsuki.
Orochimaru killed the Fourth Kazekage first, then the Third Hokage, offending major Shinobi Village in succession, yet he never Orochimaru down.
Orochimaru, however, was extremely wary of the Akatsuki.
Jiraiya knew who Orochimaru was, and through understanding Orochimaru, he knew just how terrifying the Akatsuki was.
