Forest path
Haruma, twirling a giant scythe in his hand, arrogantly led the group with his pigeon-toed gait.
The three people behind him had different expressions, all of them lost in thought and preoccupied.
Kisame is the most innocent.
I was just a little disappointed, thinking that I would have another chance to fight that rare beast of Konoha next time!
Kakuzu, carrying Asuma's corpse, was still shaken by the punch that had nearly sent him to his death.
This is the obvious flaw of the Earth Grudge Fear Secret Technique.
Any problem below the head can come at the cost of a ruptured heart, requiring the damaged area to be stitched back together.
But if someone punches your head and smashes it, you're dead!
Kakuzu was wondering whether he should ask the boss for help.
After all, the Ninjutsu that the company has introduced over the years is arguably the most comprehensive in the Shinobi World!
The boss also possesses various Kekkei Genkai- related secret techniques.
Ice Release, Wood Release, Sharingan, even Rinnegan.
It might help improve the flaws in my technique.
But given the boss's personality...
I will definitely help if I can, but it will require me to sign an exorbitant IOU...
Kakuzu, who hadn't even figured out how to pay back the interest on his first IOU, was now extremely hesitant.
Out of the Kakuzu of his eye, Itachi glanced at the corpse Kakuzu was carrying behind him, and a complex mix of emotions welled up in his heart.
When he defected from Konoha, he promised not to harm the Uchiha Clan or Sasuke.
Looking at it now, the Uchiha Clan is doing well in Kirigakure, and Sasuke has also grown quite a bit.
But Itachi spent most of his life under the influence of the Will of Fire.
Faced with Konoha's current predicament, Itachi wanted to lend a hand.
But they couldn't fathom Haruma's thoughts.
Even Haruma, who seemed to be free of distractions, sighed heavily in her heart.
Although I really want to have a passionate and unrestrained battle with Might Guy when he's at full power!
Even in Haruma is confident she can survive when Might Guy has Eight Gates open.
However, there is a possibility of serious injury and the risk of revealing one's true identity.
If they go all out, the double's disguise will inevitably be exposed, especially if he is seriously injured in the process.
The unpredictable Itachi behind him...
Kisame, who was tricked and crippled by Obito...
Kakuzu was simply intimidated by his strength...
Even Kakashi on the other side, these people might join forces to eliminate him first, given his serious injuries.
Although the possibility is low...
But considering the worst-case scenario, Haruma unsurprisingly played it safe.
After all, the road ahead is long, and one shouldn't be too arrogant.
Those who couldn't maintain order in the Shinobi World eventually went to heaven.
"Mr. Itachi, is that guy named Might Guy famous in your Konoha?" Kisame, having calmed down, wanted to find out more about his opponent.
"Yes, that guy's Taijutsu is probably the strongest in Konoha." Itachi nodded in affirmation.
"No wonder."
Kisame felt much better upon hearing this. "So he's Konoha's strongest Taijutsu ninja. No wonder he's so powerful."
Kisame gently pressed the spot where Kai had kicked him, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "Next time we meet, I'll make sure he pays back for that humiliation!"
Kisame's resentment stemmed not from Might Guy kicking him away.
Instead of kicking him away, they even disrupted Itachi and Kakuzu's battle!
Exhausted Kakashi and severely injured Kurenai were not dead.
Kisame attributed all of this to himself.
Seeing Kisame's concerned expression, Itachi and Kakuzu shook their heads inwardly.
This guy would never have imagined that the real reason he was injured wasn't because of Might Guy.
It was because of that little conflict with Haruma at the entrance of Yugakure.
The bait was laid out on Haruma, and he led the way.
Even if you don't actively take on Might Guy, you'll still get hit hard for various reasons in the end.
Asuma's presence disappeared as soon as the battle began. It was obvious that Haruma was watching Kisame get beaten up before finally coming out to clean up the mess.
Although the boss kept saying he wasn't a petty person...
But if anyone actually believes it, then just wait and see...
Night, a crescent moon hangs in the sky.
Within the Land of Fire, in Tanzaku Town.
Inside an unnamed izakaya, Naruto's incredulous exclamation echoed, " Pervy Sage, what did you say?!"
Filled with resentment, Naruto stomped his foot on the table and pointed at the exaggeratedly muscular Tsunade across from him. "They actually let this old woman be Hokage?!"
I thought it was just a simple request for Tsunade to return to the village to treat Rock Lee, but then I suddenly heard Jiraiya say that he wanted to invite Tsunade back to the village to become Hokage.
What's even more infuriating is!
This fifty-year-old woman,
Not only did he refuse to become Hokage, he also kept saying that only a fool would become Hokage.
They even said that the Third Hokage died because he was old and stubborn!
These remarks are what triggered Naruto's outburst!
Tsunade, who was being pointed at by Naruto...
She had long, light yellow hair tied in a ponytail.
The exaggerated curves of her chest...
Every move it makes is even more turbulent.
"What did you say, brat?!"
I heard Naruto's name.
Tsunade on the table with a "bang!" and glared angrily at Naruto: "Kid, say what you just said again if you dare!"
"Shut up, Naruto!"
Jiraiya sat on the sofa, tugging at Naruto's shirt from behind to prevent Naruto from overestimating himself and making a move.
Enraged, Naruto completely ignored Jiraiya's warning and pointed at Tsunade, shouting, "Old woman, fifty-year-old old woman!"
"You're clearly lying right now!"
Because of the Yin Seal on his forehead, he has the ability to improve bodily functions and maintain youthful appearance.
Therefore, even though Tsunade is fifty years old, she still looks like she's in her twenties!
"You've got some nerve!" Tsunade frowned deeply. "You little brat, you've got guts. Come outside with me."
Naruto followed without flinching.
Jiraiya and Shizune exchanged a helpless glance, then sighed and followed him out.
Not far from here, at a table by the wall, only one person was enjoying the food on the table.
After the three left,
Having used the Substitution Technique Shisui to disguise himself, Shisui silently put down his wine glass and disappeared into the shadows.
If they wanted to track down two of the Sannin, only Shisui could do so without being discovered.
So the younger ones were left at the base to train together.
Although they had already encountered Tsunade and Orochimaru's meeting during the day.
But according to Haruma, the right time to find Orochimaru is when he is refused treatment by Tsunade.
The best opportunity will come after a major defeat.
The border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire.
Sasori and Hidan, who are in charge of hunting Orochimaru, are heading towards Tanzaku Town in the Land of Fire.
Things that didn't happen in the original story have already begun to deviate from their intended course.
The two were able to learn Orochimaru's whereabouts precisely because of Haruma.
Black and White Zetsu, who were in charge of intelligence gathering, appeared in Konoha disguised as Pain on Haruma.
Therefore, recently, he has devoted a lot of energy and his agents to the Land of Fire.
They couldn't find out anything about the Rinnegan, but they did find out the whereabouts of Orochimaru and Kabuto.
Having obtained this information, Sasori also wanted to take advantage of Orochimaru's still-healing injuries to create an Eternal Art Puppet with Kage Level strength!
Based on Sasori and Hidan's speed, they should be able to arrive at the time agreed upon by Orochimaru and Tsunade!
The Sannin, Shisui, the Gold Medal Squad, and the artistic duo from the Akatsuki all gathered together!
The battle between the Sannin in the original story is taking an unpredictable turn!
