A question that blurted out subconsciously.
This young man with black hair and red eyes also smiled Responded: "Oh, this is rude, I Kusagakure Jōnin-Mammoth, this time Mr. Akahoshi invited me to come to Hoshigakure to discuss cooperation matters. I wonder if Mr. Mogi is willing to give me a face. Anyway, you have been the leader for decades, and you should take a rest long ago, right?"
"Humph, Kusagakure actually interfered in other countries' internal affairs. Aren't you afraid of arousing the common wrath of other countries!? Akahoshi, even if your plan is successfully implemented, it will only lead to self-inflicted fire! I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be such a short-sighted person!"
Third Hoshikage still had an awe-inspiring expression, looking at Mammoth, Akahoshi and the ordinary Kusa Ninja in the opposite position, and said in a very cold tone.
This look that did not give in at all and seemed to be very sarcastic made Mammoth frown slightly. On the contrary, Akahoshi who was sitting next to him no longer had the ferocious look before. Instead, he was extremely calm at this moment. When he heard Third Hoshikage's words, Akahoshi even sneered.
"Self-immolation? Huh? Master Hoshikage, please stop using such little tricks and accept your fate honestly!"
It's not that Akahoshi can't see the threat from Mammoth and Kusa Ninja, but he still insists on cooperating with these people and has his own plans. Not to mention that he has full confidence in his own strength and the strength of his companions in the village. More importantly, isn't there another real big BOSS in the village now?
That's right!
Shōji is also within the application scope of Akahoshi.
Borrow the hand of Kusa Ninja here to kill this Third Hoshikage, and then go back and use the hand of Shōji to completely eliminate Mammoth and these Kusa Ninja in the name of revenge for Third Hoshikage. This is the whole plan of Akahoshi!
What you want is to eat both sides!
All you need is a perfect time difference!
All of this is within your control.
The look in Akahoshi's pupils became more and more serious at this moment.
"Also, don't expect the reinforcements from behind to arrive. Master Hoshikage, those people have already gone down early to wait for you. Let me give you a ride now!"
Akahoshi There was a strong evil spirit between his eyebrows.
"What did you say!?"
When Third Hoshikage's expression changed.
"Boom!"
"Up!"
Akahoshi once again burst out his Mysterious Peacock Method, attacking Third Hoshikage's position with great force. Mammoth also commanded his own Kusa Ninjas to follow him and attack the Third Hoshikage together.
Killing this Third Hoshikage in the shortest possible time is the best way to serve their interests. If possible, Mammoth does not want to have anything to do with Iwagakure, although he feels that the rumors are somewhat exaggerated. Bragging, Uchiha Shōji cannot really be that powerful, but after all, the name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. The reputation of the Uchiha Clan alone is powerful enough, let alone Iwagakure represented by Shōji!
The most important thing is to spend the least amount of money to complete your plan this time, as long as everything goes well!
My status in the village will definitely be improved in the future, and I may not be able to sit in the position of leader of Kusagakure in the future. When I think of such a prospect, Mammoth's heart is filled with excitement!
And only at that moment.
Suddenly.
Suddenly, I felt a chill in my heart.
"Drink!"
Then there was a childish shout from the other right side.
"Boom!"
A moment ago, there was the roar of this series of explosions.
"!?"
Amid the commotion and tremors that spread, the two Kusa Ninjas rushing to the front were unable to escape in time, and were swept inside by the series of explosions.
"Huh!?"
"Ah!?"
The shrill screams, the severed limbs that were blown away, and the blood splashed out. The other Kusa Ninjas were forced to twist their bodies to avoid these explosions. Even Mammoth and Akahoshi had to retreat immediately.
This sudden scene made Akahoshi and Mammoth feel like they couldn't react.
Mammoth saw a very ferocious look on his face when he saw his two subordinates dying easily.
"Hundan!"
And it was also at that moment.
"Whoosh!"
In the left position.
A slightly petite figure suddenly approached.
"Fire Release—Great Fireball Technique!"
This extremely fast Hand Seals is a ball of blazing flames that spurts out fiercely.
The moment of sudden attack comes.
Forcing Mammoth to dodge again, he could only barely avoid the frontal bombardment. He was still somewhat touched by the flames and the smell of burnt black smoke!
This somewhat embarrassed posture made Mammoth's expression look very ferocious.
"Who is it!? How dare you attack me secretly!"
The three people who took action were undoubtedly Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara. After confirming that there were indeed no other ambush in the surrounding positions, they saw that Akahoshi and Mammoth were already attacking Third Hoshikage.
Itachi decisively ordered the attack!
Deidara uses clay creatures as the first mover.
Kurotsuchi went to assist Third Hoshikage.
Itachi faced off against this one Kusagakure Jōnin alone. This was the most reasonable configuration, and it was also a test for Itachi himself. Jōnin from Xiaonin Village, then After all, he is also Jōnin. If he can withstand the attack of this Jōnin, and even win the battle, this will definitely fully prove his growth over this period of time!
Mammoth!
This is the perfect opponent to measure yourself against!
"Your Excellency, Chief Mogi, we will block these people for you first, and please deal with the traitor Akahoshi as soon as possible!"
Kurotsuchi, who came to the position beside Third Hoshikage, directly used Lava Release's technique to further divide the battlefield, squeezing and forcing those ordinary Kusa Ninja, and quickly said the same to Third Hoshikage beside him.
Although the old man was a little shocked at the appearance of Weasel, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara at first, after all, he was rich in experience and immediately realized that it was the best thing to have reinforcements!
After all, if, as Akahoshi said, the back-up plan he arranged was blocked or even wiped out, without the support of the three Itachis at this moment, he would definitely die here.
One Akahoshi plus one Mammoth is enough to be fatal, not to mention there are seven or eight Kusa Ninja who are at the level of ordinary Genin. It can be said that the arrival of Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi is really like a timely rescue!
"Okay! I'll leave it to you three, I will definitely capture Akahoshi as soon as possible!"
at this moment.
Even if his age is more than ten times that of the three little ones.
Third Hoshikage really expresses his most sincere gratitude and some guilt.
But these are all things for later, what we have to do now is to defeat the enemy in front of us!
Third Hoshikage's pupils flashed with a sharp color.
Then it moved towards the position of Akahoshi not far away at very high speed!
