An Identity Crisis and a Shovel to Silence Him

Before Gojo Satoru's last words had even faded, several other voices burst out.

The commotion wasn't small, but it was still far from the scene everyone had imagined.

Asuma and the others, who were standing a little further away, were all stunned, their expressions quite subtle.

"That's it?" Izumo touched the bridge of his nose, unsure whether to laugh or sigh.

Judging from his posture just now, I thought he was going to unleash some kind of world-destroying move.

And the result?

It truly disappointed everyone.

But then again, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.

It's better than something really serious happening.

"The reinforcements have arrived." Shikamaru, with his sharp eyes, spotted the Konoha Ninja in the distance.

They've finally arrived.

Shikamaru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that all you've got?" Deidara's voice was full of incomprehension.

Within two seconds, his eyes were on fire.

Treating art like a joke is something even our own people can't tolerate.

Just as everyone was starting to relax, a sudden and unexpected event struck.

"Boom--"

The noise was deafening.

The surrounding air seemed to explode as well.

All around, in all directions, the blast waves were so dense they were suffocating people.

What happened?

Asuma and his group, along with Deidara, all changed their expressions.

Why does the air explode on its own?

There was nothing inside that could trigger an explosion.

I couldn't even smell a trace of Chakra.

Before I could even process what was happening, the roof beneath my feet collapsed.

Those standing on top were all stunned and didn't react in time before they all fell down with a thud.

"What kind of Ninjutsu could do something like that?"

How was this effect achieved?

"And the smell coming over is so weird!"

"You know what, this smell does sound kind of familiar?"

"Where did that smell come from?"

Gojo Satoru rested his chin on his hand, tilting his head as he pondered the troublesome matter before him.

That's not what he just set up at all.

It's another set of interconnected mechanisms.

The strange thing is, the mechanism didn't trigger.

What happened?

Could it be that Asuma and the others' Water Release were ruined by the water?

So where did this explosion come from?

He touched the bandage on his head and thought hard.

A strange thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

"By the way, isn't the gold exchange supposed to be built on top of the toilet?"

Could it be that the biogas caught a spark and exploded?

After all that, science really works.

Gojo Satoru clasped his hands together in front of his chest and sighed.

A considerable amount of time has passed.

Several figures slowly climbed up from the bottom of the gold exchange.

Is this the air outside?

"I finally made it out alive!"

"I'm going to kill that brat!"

The group thrashed about on the ground a few times before collapsing unconscious.

He died on the spot.

"Are you all alright?" Gorō Satoru strolled leisurely past the group.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and tried to grab his ankle.

"Hmm?" Gorō Satoru glanced down at it.

"What is this?"

On the other side.

Asuma, whose clothes were tattered and torn, felt a familiar chill.

Something suddenly rushed through my mind.

He managed to pry his eyelids open a crack.

Gojo Satoru's back, which he knew all too well, suddenly came into his view.

What is this?

My mind was a complete mess when a bright light flashed past.

He slowly reached out his hand towards Gorō Satoru.

"You are..."

"That bastard Uchiha Satoru?"

Uh-huh??

Upon hearing this, Gorō Satoru dropped the Three-Color Dango he was holding in his mouth.

His Azure eyes were wide open.

No way?

How did Asuma figure that out?

That's bullshit, isn't it?

You've kept it a secret so many times without any problems, so why did you have to mess it up here?

Absolutely impossible!!!

"Hmm, Uchiha Satoru?" Gojo Satoru said it as if it were the truth.

"I'm not, you've mistaken me for someone else."

"No, I can't admit I'm wrong." Asuma's mind was still foggy, but he remained stubborn.

"I'd still recognize you even if you were burned to ashes!"

"..." Gojo Satoru kept quiet for a while.

"Uncle, you've mistaken me for someone else."

He stared down at Asuma, who was lying on the ground, for a long time.

Since that's the case, then don't blame him for being impolite.

A fierce glint instantly flashed in those Azure eyes.

He then grabbed the shovel next to him with his right hand.

With a swift motion, Asuma brought the shovel down, and once again made intimate contact with the ground.

"You're too tired, go to sleep!" Gorō Satoru's tone was quite sincere.

At the same time, Konoha's support team also arrived.

The faces of the group were filled with shock.

"What are you doing?"

"Stop!"

"Is this the Akatsuki?"

"Those methods are really ruthless!"

Everyone stared at the image—an image so graphic it was practically censored—and fell silent.

What should we call today's show? A righteous ninja bravely fights against the forces of darkness?

Or should it be called a live broadcast featuring extreme content?

How about we call it the Akatsuki's Burial Site?

"So fast?" Wu Guanwu put away his tools and ran towards Deidara.

He's quite loyal to his friends.

It's impossible to leave Deidara here alone.

Gojo Satoru was thinking this.

"Water Release: Awakening Technique!"

A large water ball slammed squarely into Deidara's face.

Deidara across from them slowly opened his eyes.

This is what he is doing.

Gojo Satoru's face quickly filled his field of vision.

In an instant, Deidara was fully awake.

A murderous aura so thick it could suffocate someone emanated from him.

"Gojo Satoru, I'm going to kill you today!"

He leaped up and pounced on Gojo Satoru.

"Ah, this..." Wu Zhuwu was completely baffled.

"What's going on here now?"

He'd done such a loving and supportive team effort to save Deidara, so how could Deidara turn on him so quickly?

Sensing the unprecedented killing intent emanating from Deidara, Gojo Satoru touched his bandages and ran away into the distance.

"Now that the work is done, I'll head back to the organization."

"Hehe."

The setting sun cast long, long shadows of the two people.

Seeing this, the Konoha Ninja who rushed over remained silent for a long time.

What's going on?

Are the Akatsuki fighting amongst themselves?

The Konoha Ninja were stunned for a moment before they realized what was happening and hurriedly began to rescue the people.

Although I was a little hesitant to do it, they were professionals, truly professionals.

As the Tenten went by, the Akatsuki embarked on their journey to collect the Tailed Beast once again.

Even though Wu Duwu had sent out the message in advance, some villages still didn't take it seriously.

They either think they have enough power, or they always feel that the intelligence is unreliable.

But what happens next will be like a wave, washing them all off the beach.

On the other side, Gojo Satoru also thoughtfully cast his gaze into the distance.
