In the stone cave, there was a brief pause. No one expected this situation.
Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke had separated a portion of their Chakra, but their real bodies were still here.
The two of them were naturally familiar with Hatake Satoru's voice.
Although their faces didn't change much, they still steadily watched the situation of the Outer Path Demonic Statue.
But both of them couldn't help but complain inwardly.
How should I say this... As expected of that person, they found us so quickly.
Originally, Uchiha Itachi thought it was a little strange that Hatake Satoru hadn't chased after them.
Now, judging by the timing, it's more like this person woke up from a nap and just came here casually.
Now that Hatake Satoru could find them, it was normal for Naruto and the others to keep rushing here.
White Zetsu's already strangely pale skin looked even whiter.
They had almost figured out the situation of all the enemies, so why would there be someone who came to smash the door directly?
What's going on?!
Zetsu's main body almost immediately moved back, and half of its pitcher plant-like body emerged from the ground behind Hatake Satoru.
It originally wanted to observe this arrogant guy from behind.
Zetsu clearly realized that he had seen Hatake Satoru's back, but it was only for a flash.
That person suddenly appeared in front of Zetsu at a rather strange speed.
Then, Hatake Satoru's face, wearing sunglasses, looked down at Zetsu with a smiling face as if he was waiting for him.
Zetsu almost didn't react to the guy's quick speed, and just stared blankly at Hatake Satoru for a moment.
"I'm not a bug, so using a pitcher plant on me is a bit too much, don't you think?"
Hatake Satoru almost unhesitatingly stomped down on Zetsu, deliberately maintaining the Limitless technique on his foot.
Zetsu was almost helpless and was directly stomped into the ground by Hatake Satoru.
"Crack!" With a sound, the entire stone ground instantly cracked, and then a portion of it collapsed.
Super strength?
Or something else?
Zetsu was stomped into the ground for no reason.
He didn't know what was going on with this person, but this person had avoided his wide-area observation, and could almost be said to have suddenly appeared at their gathering place.
Their real bodies were not here, and the Body Flicker Technique would not lose its effect just because their illusions disappeared.
So the enemies going to intercept Naruto and Hozuki Mangetsu would not disappear.
But this guy could break in here alone, what was his background?
Everyone in the Akatsuki organization is talented and speaks well. Just pick one at random and they can basically destroy a country on their own.
Even the Kazekage was beaten down, and there were still people who dared to come and join the fun.
He didn't know if they had no self-awareness or were just eager to die.
"Hmm? What's this 'sealed' word? I'm going to blast this thing open."
"People inside, be careful!"
Hatake Satoru casually put his hand to his mouth and kindly shouted to the people behind the huge rock.
But Hatake Satoru didn't give the people inside much time to react. He had briefly studied the huge rock earlier and was now uninterested, preparing to directly blast it open and snatch the person.
After all, these sealing things all needed Chakra.
Too bad, I can't do anything!
Hatake Satoru happily rolled up his sleeves and extended his index finger, accumulating a black and red ball that constantly contracted inward, condensing on it.
Most of his face near the ball was reflected with that black and red light.
"Release."
Hatake Satoru lightly opened his thin lips and said softly.
Then the black and red ball was directly fired from his fingertip, and instantly, the surrounding area lit up with white and dazzling light.
Hatake Satoru's figure was swallowed into this white light.
"Boom!!!"
Along with a loud noise, the entire solid rock was directly blown out with a huge hole.
Even after passing through the rock, the "Release" attack even penetrated the other side of the cave.
The black ball pierced straight through the entire cave. Any seals or restrictions had no effect against this absolute overpowering force.
"Ah~ so much smoke."
The broken rocks, along with the dust shaken down from the entire mountain, spread around Hatake Satoru.
Hatake Satoru waved his hand dismissively to dispel the dust.
The attack range of "Release" was very well controlled, creating a perfectly circular and huge hole in the rock.
However, the huge rock itself remained blocking the entrance, without any intention of collapsing.
"..."
"..."
The blue gas spewed from the Outer Path Demonic Statue's mouth was withdrawn. Gaara silently lay on the ground, whether dead or alive.
The Outer Path Demonic Statue was shaking, and the ground was also shaking, making noises.
A group of Phantom Clones, along with the only two real bodies, Deidara and Sasori, were all silently staring at Hatake Satoru.
Apart from the sound of ground shaking, the entire space was as quiet as if it were empty.
After the huge rock was broken, the light from outside shone in. Because the range of "Release" was too long, the other side of the cave was also blasted open with a big hole.
The smoke and dust cleared, and light shone in from both sides.
The Outer Path Demonic Statue was in the center, somewhat subtly positioned in the center where neither side's light could reach.
"Don't all look at me!"
" Even I would be a little embarrassed, you know?"
Although he said things like he would be embarrassed, Hatake Satoru still had a smiling expression.
He directly took a long stride, stepping through the hole in the huge rock and walking inside.
In the current situation, the sealing technique definitely couldn't continue.
Although extracting the One-Tail wasn't considered a success, they had been attacked in their gathering place.
But it couldn't be considered a failure either, since getting some of the One-Tail's Chakra was enough.
"His backup will be held back. You two finish him before anyone else comes."
"The One-Tail Jinchuriki can wait."
Pain's Phantom Clone instructed, looking at Hatake Satoru with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Then all the Phantom Clones disappeared along with the Outer Path Demonic Statue.
Although he didn't understand where that person came from, he didn't seem like a powerful familiar face.
Pain didn't think much about it and ordered Sasori and Deidara to deal with this guy before leaving.
Kakuzu vaguely felt that this person was a little familiar, but since he didn't remember anyone who wore sunglasses, he just looked at him with some suspicion.
Deidara directly rode the big bird and prepared to leave with Gaara, but before the big bird could fly past, Gaara directly disappeared from the spot!
