["Boom!"
A massive pillar of light shot into the sky, enveloping an area of ten kilometers in radius.
The intense heat instantly destroyed everything visible, and everything within the blast radius was completely amplified.
An explosion resembling Patrick Star shot straight into the sky.
Even the Konoha, hundreds of kilometers away, noticed the anomaly.
Dozens of kilometers away, a familiar figure merely glanced back indifferently.
[Hozuki Mangetsu: Ah, Obito, you ran away early! How could you do that to your teammates? They were thinking of you even before they died!]
The figure was none other than Tobi, Tobi Deidara couldn't forget even on his deathbed, but little did he know that Tobi had already run more than ten kilometers away.
[Asuma: Obito, that's a bit unfair of you.]
[Anko: Exactly! Not only did they sabotage their own teammates during the battle, but they also left one of them to crawl so far away alone.]
If Obito by Deidara's side at that moment and finished off Sasuke, none of this would have happened.
[Obito: I don't know! I really don't know anything!]
Obito desperately tried to explain that he genuinely knew nothing about betraying his teammates.
[Mikoto: But, Sasuke, Sasuke...]
At this moment, Mikoto was also looking at Sasuke on the screen with great concern. Those of them watching from outside felt helpless in the face of the explosion's power.
Not to mention Sasuke was so close; it's hard to imagine how he could possibly dodge that attack.
At the same time, the Akatsuki also received news of Deidara's death.
"Oh dear, the number of members has decreased again. I thought he was really strong," Kisame said jokingly.
"Who killed him? Sasuke or the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" Kisame asked.
Itachi simply stood there silently, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.
"Sasuke, but it seems Sasuke is dead too." Zetsu revealed what he knew.
I glanced at Itachi, but Itachi still acted as if it had nothing to do with me.
"Did we all perish together?" Kisame sighed.
At the same time, Pain congratulated Itachi, after all, Deidara had gotten rid of a troublesome person for him, but Pain didn't know if Itachi thought so.
"It seems like I've forgotten something." At this moment, Kisame began to inquire about Tobi's whereabouts. He was quite interested in Tobi, after all, having such a goofy person in the organization could liven up the atmosphere.
"It seems like Tobi is dead too. Deidara just exploded like that, without a care in the world," Zetsu said.
"Right, right, I was going to talk about Tobi. The guy who's best at running away actually couldn't escape. That's incredible Ninjutsu." To be able to prevent Tobi from escaping, that guy must be the best at running away.
Everyone felt sorry for Deidara, but Kisame felt more sorry for Tobi, even though he still liked him quite a bit.
After the meeting, Kisame and Itachi left the cave.
"The rain still hasn't stopped. It's strange that it's raining so heavily in this area at this time of year." In the face of Kisame's complaints, Itachi silently walked into the middle of the downpour.
"That's not good for your health," Kisame said considerately from the side.
[Shisui: I didn't expect our Itachi to be so popular.]
[Kisame: Isn't it only natural to care about your teammates? Besides, I don't think Itachi's feelings for his younger brother are as genuine as they seem.]
[Itachi: Itachi, Mr. Itachi!]
At this age, Itachi certainly didn't deserve such a title.
[Obito: Kisame, didn't you always acknowledge me as your boss during the inventory?]
[Hozuki Mangetsu: You said it yourself, this is the future. Kisame isn't your subordinate now.]
The heavy rain was pouring down on Itachi, and from Kisame's perspective, Itachi looked like he was crying.
"I don't know what you're thinking right now, you cold-hearted person, but from my perspective, you look like you're crying."
"If it's because of your younger brother, I feel very sorry. This way, you'll be the only one left in the Uchiha Clan."
The rain began to subside, and Itachi, unusually, turned to Kisame and said, "That guy isn't dead, and..."
Kisame wasn't sure how Itachi had determined that Sasuke wasn't dead, but since Itachi had said so, it must be true.
Meanwhile, Sasuke's team, Hozuki Suigetsu, arrived at the site of the explosion immediately.
[Hozuki Mangetsu: My foolish little brother.]
Suigetsu took out a scroll and then followed the incantation on it.
"Summoning Technique!"
A colossal creature appeared before Suigetsu.
[Orochimaru: This is Manda? I see!]
Orochimaru spotted Manda immediately, but judging from its near-death state, he knew how Sasuke had escaped.
[Manda: Ugh, those damned Uchiha Clan, how dare they use me!]
At this moment, Suigetsu looked at the Manda before her, but the Manda's eyes had now turned into the color of Mitsudomoe.
At this moment, Sasuke stumbled out of Manda's body.
Sasuke was in a terrible mess at this moment; something as simple as just talking had become so complicated.
It almost killed me.
[Orochimaru: I used your Summoning Technique to control Manda, then entered Manda's body and used the Reverse Summoning Technique to jump into another dimension, successfully escaping the explosion site and saving my life.]
[Manda: Ah, this guy named Sasuke, I'm going to eat him!]
[Itachi: Who dares to touch Sasuke! (Mangekyō Warning)]
[Fugaku: How dare you touch my son! (Mangekyō Warning)]
[Shisui: Sasuke is Itachi's brother, so he's also my brother. Of course I won't allow you to hurt him (Mangekyō warning)]
[Obito: Me too, me too (warning)]
At this moment, Manda assessed the situation and realized that he was no match for his opponent. He thought, "Why don't we just let this matter go? I'm not such a petty snake."
However, it's impossible for him to become a summoning beast. Orochimaru is the same; those two seem to be out of their minds.
