After Orochimaru and the Sound Four were defeated, the remaining battle quickly came to an end. The various clans and hidden bigwigs of Konoha took action and swept away the battlefield with overwhelming force.
This invasion of Konoha was a failure, but due to the increased offensive by the Sound Ninja Sand Ninja, Konoha also paid a heavy price, losing at least one hundred ninjas.
Many buildings were destroyed, so much so that black smoke was still rising from the entire village even after the battle ended.
Just as the fighting in Konoha had subsided, two people appeared on an empty wall in Konoha.
The two men wore straw hats and black overcoats embroidered with red auspicious cloud patterns. One of them carried a large knife wrapped in bandages on his back.
It was Kisame and Uchiha Itachi.
Kisame: "To think that the once-prosperous Konoha has fallen into such a state Itachi-san is truly tragic."
Kisame: "Although we escaped destruction, we still suffered considerable losses."
Itachi: "I don't care."
The Lord God: "I know, what you care about is your silly little bean."
Kisame: "What a cold person you are. That's what I admire about you."
Kisame: "That's so unlike you. Even if you were Itachi-san, you'd still feel nostalgic for your hometown, wouldn't you?"
Itachi: "No, I have no regrets at all."
The Lord God: "I know, what you're longing for is your foolish little bean."
Kisame: "Why is there always someone chattering away like that next to me?!"
Itachi: "Probably an idiot too."
The Lord God: "Fine, I'll kill you both in a minute."
Kisame: "You're really amazing, Itachi-san! You actually knew Orochimaru was going to attack Konoha beforehand, which makes capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki much easier than usual!"
Lord God: "You just want to come back to save your foolish 'little bean,' let's see how you explain that!"
Itachi: " Orochimaru has a long-standing grudge against Konoha. Now that he's back in Konoha, revenge is the only possibility."
Kisame: "I see. We have two plans for this trip: one is to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the other is to investigate that person named Hongshi. Shall we split up?"
Itachi shook his head. "No, Konoha has too many people and too many eyes; splitting up would make us easy to be spotted."
Lord God: "If we split up, we won't be able to monitor Kisame, right?"
At this moment, the two only saw the Four Violet Flames Formation explode, and a huge white energy shot out.
In Itachi's Three-Tomoe Sharingan vision, he only saw a Chakra that almost distorted space. "Such dense Chakra!"
Kisame: " Konoha has produced another extraordinary person!"
The Four Violet Flames Formation dissipated, and Orochimaru and the three Sound Ninja retreated.
Itachi breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems... Orochimaru has failed."
Just as Kisame was about to speak, he suddenly felt the Samehada behind him begin to writhe restlessly. "Hmm? Itachi-san, a Jinchūriki is approaching, could it be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Itachi looked in the direction Kisame was pointing and saw Kidomaru Yuhan running quickly out of the village.
Kisame removed Samehada and pointed it at Kidomaru: "The person that six-armed guy is carrying is Jinchūriki, but it doesn't seem to be the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. Should we make a move?"
Itachi thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go take a look."
With a "whoosh," the two figures vanished.
Kidomaru leaped over the walls of Konoha and plunged into the dense forest, escaping the pursuit of the three Anbu. Still shaken by the punch from Hongshi, he thought, "That bald, muscular man was too strong! What kind of enemies does Orochimaru choose?!"
Five minutes later, as Kidomaru was running, he suddenly saw two people blocking his path in the dense forest. "Pursuers! Secret Technique: Spider Nest Open!"
With a "poof," a large amount of spider web was spat out. The spider web produced by this technique was a mixture of Chakra, possessing extremely strong stickiness and toughness, and could not be cut by ordinary sharp blades.
These two were none other than Kisame and Itachi.
Kisame: "The spider web looks sticky and disgusting. Itachi..."
Itachi: " Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
The itachi then unleashed a fireball, burning away all the spiderwebs.
Kidomaru: " The Uchiha Clan's Fire Style? Who are you?"
Kisame: "A rare beast with six arms. I'm quite interested in the girl you've kidnapped. Leave her here, and you can go."
Kidomaru, focused solely on escaping and wanting to avoid further trouble, gently placed Yuhan on the ground. "This is Orochimaru's man. Are you sure you want to make a move?"
Itachi: " Orochimaru? Hmph, a defeated opponent."
Kidomaru: "You! Since that's the case..."
Yuhan: "When did I become Orochimaru's person...?"
Kidomaru: "∑(❍ฺд❍ฺlll) When did you wake up!"
Yuhan: "I wasn't controlled by you at all."
Kisame: "You're being too naive to think you can control Jinchūriki with Genjutsu."
Kidomaru: "What? She's Jinchūriki?"
Itachi stared at Kidomaru: "You can get lost now."
Upon seeing Itachi's Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Kidomaru dared not linger any longer. "You!! You are Uchiha Itachi!"
Itachi: "If you don't leave now, you'll die."
"I'm sorry, I'll leave right away!" Kidomaru fled without looking back.
Yuhan: "(°ー°), you run really fast! I want to play some more."
Once Kisame Kidomaru run off into the distance, he turned to Yuhan and asked, "Tell me, who are you, and why do you possess such a vast amount of Chakra within you?"
"Garra garra..." Kisame could no longer control Samehada in his hand. Its scales stood on end, as if it had smelled a delicious delicacy, struggling to break free from Kisame's control.
Itachi observed for a while. "This girl is really beautiful, I'll leave her to my brother... Oh no, she has a very powerful Sealing Jutsu, I can't see through what's sealed inside her."
Kisame was somewhat surprised. "Oh? Sealing Jutsu even Itachi-san, couldn't see through, how powerful must it be? I sensed that her water-style Chakra was the most concentrated; do you think it might be the Three-Tails?"
The news that the Three-Tails of Kirigakure had been kidnapped by the mysterious man " Tobi " had begun to circulate in the Shinobi World, and naturally it also reached the ears of the Akatsuki.
Itachi: "Since he's Jinchūriki, let's capture him first."
Kisame: "Yosh! Little girl, are you going to surrender or let me knock you out and take you away?"
Yuhan remained calm. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Kisame: "I can't help it, my greatsword is itching for a fight!"
The Lord God: "That's true."
Suddenly, Itachi and Kisame felt the temperature drop significantly, and then snowflakes began to fall. "Hmm, it's snowing?"
Itachi: "She's actually Ice Release ninja."
Yuhan covered his mouth and chuckled, his eyes and hair turning as white as snow. "Hehehe, as expected of the legendary Uchiha Itachi, you saw through my technique immediately!"
Kisame, "So it's Ice Release? That's a bit troublesome."
A mirror of ice slowly rose from Yuhan: "I've heard the boss mention you guys before. Uchiha Itachi, a perfect ninja, except he can't fry an egg; Kisame, Tailless Tailed Beast, just a bit too fierce. It's been a long time since I've fought at full strength! Let me see how far I still have to go compared to you."
Kisame: "This little girl seems pretty strong. Let me handle Itachi-san."
Itachi, expressionless, jumped onto a nearby tree, but inside he was panicking. "How did she... know about my fried eggs?!"
Lord God: "???"
Yuhan slowly retreated into the ice mirror, the surrounding temperature dropped lower and lower. Centered on Kisame, nearly a hundred ice mirrors appeared, and Yuhan's figure could be seen in all of them.
" Ice Release: Cold Moon Frost Flower."
The temperature plummeted, and a layer of white ice formed directly on the ground. Even the trees nearby showed signs of freezing.
Kisame looked at the white breath he exhaled. "Oh! This is really cold. Well then, I'll get started."
