Chapter 553

The Akito gave the slug its first real-world combat mission after it took on human form.

He would definitely be dissatisfied if he lost to Kisame after personally taking action against him.

Because Kisame Hoshigaki is a character who cannot be suppressed by violence.

He would only truly begin to question the meaning of life if he were defeated by a petite and adorable girl who looked to be in her teens and was 1.3 meters tall.

That was the opportunity for conversation.

"Hehe~, do you completely look down on me?"

Kisame looked at the little girl, unaware of just how terrifying slugs could be.

I can't beat the Amegakure Emperor.

This brat is no match for her???

"..."

Kakashi, who was holding the Lightning Cutter, was also somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

Because he didn't know whether he should rush in or not.

Well then, let's chat for a while while holding the Lightning Cutter.

And so, the famous scene of Kakashi wielding the Lightning Cutter while chatting began.

"Well... Your Majesty, I wonder what brings you here from so far?"

Kakashi's tone was unfriendly.

Naruto Uzumaki was also tense.

Yamato and Motoi were on high alert.

Killer B had just gotten up from the ground and was scratching his head.

The Eight-Tails 'Chakra supplied him, allowing him to recover.

As the instigator of the destruction of Konoha.

Yamato surprised and afraid of the Akito.

Having witnessed the emperor's power firsthand, it's difficult for a normal human being to describe the feeling.

"Naruto Uzumaki, we meet again."

The Akito used this sentence as their opening remark.

472. Turning Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Amakawa Akito...!"

Naruto Uzumaki uttered the name.

He glared at the emperor who reigned over Turtle Island, his mind filled with past grievances.

Kushina's trembling was interpreted by Naruto Uzumaki as fear of an impending event.

"It seems you've completely lost your conscience."

"That's what Akito said calmly."

I came in person to confirm this matter.

Seeing the angry look on Naruto Uzumaki's face, Akito knew... he was truly beyond saving.

In the end, he lived out the life of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

--A Byakuren who only wants to play the innocent victim.

The only difference between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Naruto Uzumaki.

It's just that the aging Hiruzen Sarutobi has lost his power.

But Naruto Uzumaki was rising slowly.

What would Naruto Uzumaki be like if he had no bloodline or heritage?

The elderly Hiruzen Sarutobi is probably a true reflection of him.

On the other side, Kisame, ruthless and taciturn, had already completed his Hand Seals: "Water Release... Great Dragon Bullet Technique!!"

A giant shark roared and leaped into the air, flying towards the slug.

"This Great Shark Bullet is no ordinary technique. It can absorb Chakra and then become bigger and stronger... The more powerful the enemy's Ninjutsu, the more obvious the effect will be!"

Kisame grinned maliciously.

They are not afraid of being at a disadvantage in a clash of Ninjutsu.

Laugh!!

The Slug Sage's countermeasure is...

It vomited a stream of acid.

"My tongue and teeth feel sticky and acidic!"

The viscous acid, several times more powerful Mei Terumi's Lava Release corrosive force, directly clashed with the Great Dragon Bullet Technique.

How high is the temperature of viscous acid capable of vaporizing rocks and steel instantly?

And based on chemical reactions.

When a strong acid comes into contact with water, it generates even more heat.

So...

In an instant.

The Great Dragon's Bullet Technique was vaporized.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!

A large amount of steam rose up.

In the blink of an eye, the Great Dragon Bullet Technique was completely evaporated by the sticky acid.

"What?! How could this happen?!"

Kisame stared at the scene before him, his face filled with disbelief.

"Even if it's Lava Release like Mei Terumi's, it shouldn't be..."

Kisame was unaware.

The Slug Immortal uses immortal magic.

It's not even in the same league as Mei Terumi's Lava Release.

Despite its petite size, it contains the life energy of 1,000 years.

The sticky, acidic taste that comes out of one's mouth is but a drop in the ocean.

If the Slug Sage wanted to, it could easily annihilate the giant Turtle Island beneath its feet in an instant.

The remaining acid splashed onto Kisame.

With a scream, Kisame collapsed to the ground.

"It's resolved."

Seeing the half-dead Kisame, the Slug Sage breathed a sigh of relief.

That would be considered a perfect completion of the mission.

Beat him half to death...

"That spell just now..."

Kisame lay in the pool, his body steaming, corroded by strong acid... In other words, he was severely burned and couldn't move even a finger.

"It's Senjutsu... which is Natural Energy mixed with a strong biological acid, capable of vaporizing even steel in an instant."

"That's what the slug fairy explained."

Because there's nothing to hide.

As one of her three signature moves, it's a technique she uses frequently.

"Hehe... no wonder."

Kisame understood.

No wonder it's even more terrifying Mei Terumi's Lava Release.

"However... I don't recall ever hearing of your name among experts of this level..."

"..."

The Slug Sage was at a loss for words.

Because, in front of Kakashi, Yamato... and especially Sakura, revealing that he's the Slug Sage would be... really...

Therefore.

The Slug Sage had his back to Sakura, not daring to face her.

Sakura, of course, didn't recognize the Slug Sage either.

What does it feel like to be betrayed by a former comrade-in-arms?

"I'm sorry... Sakura..."

The slug fairy pinched his fingers.

"All of this is for Princess Tsunade..."

Because he had made a pact with Amakawa Akito.

As long as I become his Summoning, he won't kill Princess Tsunade... and you too.

To protect Sakura and Tsunade's lives.

The Slug Sage... made a self-sacrifice.

Certainly.

This is just the initial reason.

As Akito began their efforts to seduce the Slug Immortal.

The initial reasons gradually began to falter.

Whether it's watching the scene of Kushina's grave where her deceased husband is enshrined.

Or perhaps it was three days and three nights, witnessing firsthand the emperor interrogating Tsunade.

Then, during the wall slam, she removed the bits of grass from her head.

The final Gelel Stone feeding play.

All of these factors led the Slug Immortal to begin to succumb.

The reasons and stances have naturally reversed as well.

The only problem is that the Slug Sage hasn't realized it yet, or hasn't been able to admit it.

"Again..."

Naruto Uzumaki secretly made up his mind.

The next second, it pounced on Akito at an even faster speed.

Smack

The shadowy figure flashed and blocked the golden-bodied Crown Prince Naruto, whose speed was comparable to that of the Fourth Rai.

"Hateful..."

Naruto retreated, but he was not discouraged.

Because he has only just obtained this power, as long as he continues to use it...

"Naruto!" Kakashi called out in a low voice, stopping him.
