Blocking the Way

Kisame saw Uzumaki Hane and said fiercely, "Long time no see, Uzumaki Hane." Then he looked at Might Guy and said, "Might Guy, I didn't expect to see you here. That's great." Last time, Kisame learned that Uzumaki Hane was Might Guy's apprentice. He originally wanted to use Uzumaki Hane to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that his puppet, which only had 30% of his Chakra, was no match for Uzumaki Hane and was instead killed by Uzumaki Hane. He regarded this as a great humiliation, and his hatred for Uzumaki Hane had surpassed that for Might Guy. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to return to the Land of Demons to find Uzumaki Hane and take revenge, but because Kakuzu and Hidan had been killed by Uzumaki Hane, they were short-handed and had not had the time.

Might Guy looked at Kisame with a puzzled expression, not recognizing who Kisame was.

Uzumaki Hane immediately said, "Kisame, leave him to me." Then she said to Kisame, "Come with me," and with that, she flashed away from where she stood.

Kisame shouted, "Uzumaki Hane, don't even think about running away!" Then, his figure flashed, and he gave chase.

Uzumaki Hane stopped a hundred meters away to facilitate mutual assistance between the two sides.

Most importantly, there are no rivers here, which would greatly weaken Kisame's strength.

Kisame seemed to see through Uzumaki Hane's intention and said, "Even if there are no rivers nearby, can you stump me?" He quickly Hand Seals, "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!" Water surged out from beside Kisame, sweeping towards Uzumaki Hane Yu.

Uzumaki Hane Feather pushed off with his feet, retreating continuously. Although he wasn't necessarily afraid of the water, his strength would still be weakened in water, so Uzumaki Hane naturally wouldn't put himself in a disadvantageous position on the battlefield.

Before long, a huge lake formed, Kisame floated on the surface, coldly staring at Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane also stared at Kisame with murderous intent. He had just broken through and didn't know how much progress he had made. "Let you measure my current strength," Uzumaki Hane thought to himself. Then, his right hand quickly turned into lava, and he shouted, "Kisame, take my move first!" He clenched his right fist and slammed it directly at Kisame.

With a powerful Rock Fist unleashed from his right hand, Uzumaki Hane was quite satisfied; it was at least twice as strong as before his breakthrough.

Kisame Hand Seals, and a stream of water shot into the sky, colliding with the incoming Rock Fist. With a hiss, the water completely submerged the Rock Fist.

Next, Kisame Hand Seals, "Water Release: Water Shark Bullet," and countless streams of water surged up, enveloping Kisame and transforming him into a shark. The shark soared into the air, carrying a large amount of water, and surged down towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane shouted, "Canine Red Lotus!" A lava hound charged towards the shark, splashing countless water droplets that fell from the sky.

Kisame was somewhat surprised because Uzumaki Hane's strength had increased significantly. However, Kisame also had the confidence of someone as strong as the one in front of him. He had only been careless last time, and he was certain that he would not lose this time.

Kisame Hand Seals and slapped the water's surface. Twelve sharks made of water shot into the sky, charging towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane remained calm. "Great Eruption!" A gigantic Rock Fist, vast and mighty, smashed the charging sharks like tofu Rock Fist continued to surge forward, shoving into the lake and instantly evaporating half of its water.

Huge waves surged around Kisame, and sharks kept emerging from the waves. The towering waves surged toward Uzumaki Hane, and were densely packed with sharks.

Uzumaki Hane's eyes narrowed to an extreme. He roared and unleashed a barrage of Rock Fist that crashed into the waves. Each Rock Fist slammed into the water, instantly killing the sharks and sending them vanishing in smoke. But the Rock Fist were also swallowed by the waves. Each punch took away several sharks, yet the sharks remained densely packed, and the massive waves drew ever closer.

Then, Uzumaki Hane clasped his hands together and unleashed a Great Eruption Rock Fist that blotted out the sky, colliding with the towering waves. The explosion was like a thunderclap, the waves were blasted apart, and countless droplets of water were instantly evaporated in mid-air. At the same time, the sharks within the waves turned into smoke and vanished from their spots.

Immediately afterwards, Uzumaki Hane's entire body turned into magma. With a loud shout, he unleashed "Great Eruption" once more, sending a massive Rock Fist hurtling forward and instantly evaporating the entire lake.

Kisame naturally wouldn't give up so easily. He dodged Uzumaki Hane's attack and quickly Hand Seals.

Uzumaki Hane shouted again, "Great Eruption!" A giant Rock Fist engulfed Kisame, who was still Hand Seals, turning the area where Kisame was located into a lava field.

Looking at Uzumaki Hane Kisame murmured, "Next time we meet, I won't let you escape."

Meanwhile, Uzumaki Hane lured Kisame away.

The remaining people looked at Uchiha Itachi, Kakashi said, "Uchiha Itachi can not only use Genjutsu with his eyes, but he can also Genjutsu his fingers. Everyone, don't look into his eyes, and be careful of his fingers, so you don't fall for his Genjutsu."

You can't attack by staring into the opponent's eyes; that's indeed very difficult.

Chiyo began to recount how she had dealt with the Sharingan's Genjutsu in the past.

After listening to Granny Chiyo's method, Naruto decided to take the lead and rushed towards Uchiha Itachi, unaware that he had inadvertently fallen Genjutsu Uchiha Itachi.

Naruto struggled in the illusion for a long time before finally breaking free from Itachi's Genjutsu. What seemed like a long time had passed was actually just a moment.

Naruto looked around at Kakashi and the others, unaware that he had been caught in Genjutsu. He became even more cautious and dared not look at Uchiha Itachi.

Might Guy said, "I'll go first," and rushed towards Uchiha Itachi. At that moment, a Shadow Clone appeared behind Uchiha Itachi, blocking Might Guy, and the two began to fight.

Seeing Might Guy being blocked, Kakashi rushed towards Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi remained standing still, watching Kakashi charge towards him. With a flick of his right hand, several Shuriken blocked Kakashi's path with unpredictable trajectories.

Kakashi stopped abruptly, a Kunai appearing in his hand, and with a clang, he deflected the Shuriken one by one.

Immediately afterward, Kakashi tossed his right hand, Kunai in his hand transformed into a streak of cold light, instantly reaching Itachi. At the same time, Kakashi swiftly charged towards Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi appeared to take a step forward, easily dodging the Kunai, while simultaneously Hand Seals and unleashing a massive fireball at Kakashi in front of him, using the "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique".
