Meeting, a Tailed Beast Bomb

Several days later.

Near the Land of Hot Water.

Kabuto Yakushi and Hidan stood quietly behind a Taiseki, gazing intently at the Land of Hot Water.

"What, are you scared?" Kabuto Yakushi looked at Hidan, who was trembling all over, and said with some disdain.

"Nonsense, Naruto's strength is so terrifying, who wouldn't be afraid to provoke him?" Hidan said, his voice trembling.

"Then why were you so easily persuaded by me, and even provided me with so much information about Naruto?" Kabuto Yakushi raised an eyebrow.

"This is all Naruto's fault. He granted Sasori and Deidara powers, but he gave me nothing and ordered me to risk my life in Different World for him. I've had enough."

Hidan spoke coldly, looking extremely dissatisfied.

"I remember, Black Zetsu, Kakuzu Obito n't gain power, nor did they become bald, right?" Kabuto Yakushi asked doubtfully.

"They both have their reasons. Obito left Akatsuki Organization, and Black Zetsu has a special physique. The only ones who are truly neglected are me and Kakuzu. Tell me, who can tolerate such injustice?"

"I'm not as stupid as Kakuzu. That guy wasn't given any power, but he kept doing missions like an idiot. Now look what's happened, that strange door has collapsed, and they'll never be able to come back."

Hidan spoke with schadenfreude, but a hint of resentment lingered on his face.

"I see. It seems you've been holding back for quite some time. Could it be that you intend to kill Naruto while he's asleep?"

Kabuto Yakushi grinned, but the smile appeared rather sinister in the reflection of his scales and snake eyes.

"Naruto has been asleep for so long, now is indeed a perfect opportunity to kill him. If he dies, no one will be able to terrify me anymore, and isn't that the case for you too?" Hidan, gripping his weapon tightly.

"No, no, no, I'm different from you. Compared to killing, I want to obtain his power. With that kind of power, what can't I do?" Kabuto Yakushi spoke again in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Hidan thought of Naruto's catastrophic power. Although he was still afraid, a deep longing for that power welled up within him.

"That kind of power is indeed something to yearn for," Hidan said longingly, then looked at Kabuto Yakushi.

"Let's be careful. It's best to test the power protecting Naruto with the Impure World Reincarnation first. If there's no protective power, then..."

"Can."

Kabuto Yakushi did not refuse Hidan's suggestion. Instead, he suddenly clasped his hands together and used the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu. Soon, six coffins rose from the ground.

Clang, clang, clang...

Six sounds rang out as the coffin lids hit the ground, and then Six Paths figures emerged from the coffins.

"Although we haven't gathered Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Six Ninja Swordsmen are enough."

Kabuto Yakushi smiled and took out a scroll, then took out various Ninja Blade from it and tossed them to the Six Paths figures.

"So it's them! The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are indeed quite famous, and with their immortality, they're going to be a real pain to deal with." Hidan looked at the Six Paths figures, his expression turning serious.

"This is just the beginning; the real action is yet to come!"

Kabuto Yakushi continued to smile, his eyes gleaming with excitement, then suddenly clasped his hands together and once again used the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!

Rumble!

Four coffins emerged from the ground with a rumbling sound, and soon the coffin lids clattered open, revealing four figures inside.

"This is!!"

Hidan's pupils constricted sharply when he saw the four figures inside the coffin, because he recognized one of them when he was very young—a figure renowned throughout the Ninja World.

"Not bad, you actually know about them." Kabuto Yakushi smiled slightly, looking at Hidan with arrogance, and said again.

"The Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki; the Second Raikage A, A; the Second Tsuchikage Mu; the Fourth Kazekage Rasa —such a grand gift... I wonder if the power protecting Naruto can withstand it?"

"I never imagined you possessed such power."

Hidan looked at Kabuto Yakushi with a serious expression; he never expected this guy to be so strong.

"This is only part of it; the real big guy hasn't come out yet."

Kabuto Yakushi smiled faintly, the image of that figure flashing through his mind—the figure of Madara Uchiha, his greatest trump card.

"Let's go. With my methods, I'm sure I can get my hands on Naruto's cells."

Kabuto Yakushi was speaking, preparing to take action, he suddenly heard the earth tremble.

"What's going on?" Kabuto Yakushi was taken aback, then looked towards the direction of the Land of Hot Water, towards the sound coming from that direction.

Roar!!!

A deafening roar came from afar, carrying a wild and ferocious aura.

Amidst such a roar, two enormous figures came charging from afar, their target the direction they were heading.

"It's the Nine-Tails, and a Giant Black Bear. Is this the Giant Black Bear whose strength is comparable to the Great Toad?" Kabuto Yakushi looked at Hidan.

"Yes, Black Zetsu investigated for a long time before confirming it. Be careful, this black bear has thick hide and is very durable," Hidan warned.

"Don't worry, I can handle these two alone. The Second Raikage once fought the Eight-Tails alone, and now he's Impure World Reincarnation form, more than enough to fight the Nine-Tails."

Kabuto Yakushi smiled confidently and continued.

"The Fourth Kazekage is more than enough to deal with that Giant Black Bear. If Naruto's protective forces are only this much, then..."

Kabuto Yakushi's smile grew colder and more confident, while Hidan beside him had a glint in his eye, feeling that there was actually a chance to kill Naruto today.

"Huh? What's that?"

As Nine-Tails and the Giant Black Bear drew closer, Hidan noticed a person standing on the Giant Black Bear's back—a strong man as tall as an iron tower.

On the shoulder of the man in the iron tower, a little girl dressed in a dress with long white hair was swinging her fair legs.

On the other side, on the Nine-Tails' head, Karin and Daimeng Wang stood quietly, their gazes fixed on this side.

"This is the power of protection? It doesn't seem that impressive," Hidan said casually.

"No, there are two people who are acting strangely. Look at that towering man and that Blonde Sword-Wielding Woman sword. They give me a very odd feeling." Kabuto Yakushi frowned.

"Strange? How so?"

Hidan turned his head in confusion, noticing that Kabuto Yakushi seemed to be acting strangely.

"I don't know either, but something just feels off. Be careful."

The Kabuto Yakushi retorted, then began to control the Impure World Reincarnation form.

Only.

Before the Impure World Reincarnation body could even rush out, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes widened suddenly, and Hidan beside him also showed a look of horror.

Because.

The Nine-Tails, which was moving forward, suddenly stopped, opened its mouth, and began to condense a highly concentrated Tailed Beast Bomb, also known as Tailed Beast Cannon.

The moment the Tailed Beast Bomb appeared, Kabuto Yakushi and Hidan were terrified, never expecting Nine-Tails to unleash such a powerful attack right from the start.

"Damn it, they used Tailed Beast Bomb right off the bat! Retreat!"

"Oh no! The Tailed Beast Bomb has been released! Be careful!!!"

Boom!
