127: Chapter 127 AssassinationObito glanced at the direction of the hole where Itachi had disappeared with Killer Bee on his back, and sneered inwardly.
"Even if we extract the eight tails, they'll just be dead corpses when we bring them back.It's a waste of effort."
His gaze swept over the group of monsters and demons inside the cave.
Hidan was still jumping up and down cursing, Kakuzu was calculating how much money he had lost, Konan looked aloof and seemed to be thinking about nothing, and Kisame was still standing there pretending to be deep in thought.
"Damn it, when it really comes down to it, not a single one of them is of any use!"
Obito grew angrier the more he thought about it, especially after glaring at Kisame several more times.
This shark-faced guy used to seem reliable, conscientious, and loyal to the organization.What's he up to today?You can know a person's face but not their heart!
On the other side, the Raikage was truly fighting with a vengeance.
"Die!"
His body crackled with lightning, his hair stood on end, and he threw another punch at Pain.
The Heavenly Dao hovered in mid-air, indifferently raising its right hand.
"Shinra Tensei".
An invisible repulsive field erupted again, even more powerfully than before.
Lei Ying felt as if he had been hit head-on by an entire mountain.His chest tightened, and he felt incredibly suffocated.He was sent flying backward uncontrollably like a cannonball, crashing into the rock wall behind him with a loud bang, creating a large, human-shaped crater, with rubble falling down in a shower.
He was completely embedded in it and couldn't move.
"Cough cough.Holy crap!"
The Raikage spat out the sand in his mouth, feeling like his bones were about to fall apart.
That damn Payne, that's so shameless!
Just as he was seeing stars and pondering how to effectively attack Pain hanging in the sky, the black "big brother" in his arms buzzed twice, and Itachi Uchiha's voice came out.
"Kirabi has been rescued and is still alive.The enemy may send reinforcements.We recommend an immediate evacuation."
This news acted like a tranquilizer, piercing the Raikage's mind, which was almost overwhelmed by hatred.
More alive than.
He exerted all his strength, his muscles bulging, and squeezed himself out of the human-shaped groove, falling to the ground and staggering.
He raised his head and stared intently at the god-like figure in mid-air, his eyes filled with resentment.
"I'm not finished with you!"
"withdraw!"
Raikage roared.
After shouting, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot off towards the border of the Land of Rain, eager to see how the competition was going.
The others also immediately sprang into action.
"Hong, I'm sorry!"
Without saying a word, Kai picked up Kurenai in a standard princess carry.
"Kai!You.you put me down!I can walk by myself!"
Hong gasped in surprise, her pale face quickly flushing red.She struggled to get down, but as soon as she moved, the tiny wounds all over her body burned with pain.Coupled with the significant blood loss, her vision blurred and her body went limp.
"Don't move!"
Kai's attitude was unusually firm.He tightened his grip on her arms and, with a burst of speed, leaped away."You're injured.You need to get it treated as soon as possible!"
Hong was held tightly in his arms, her cheeks inevitably pressed against his still-steaming green bodysuit, and she could clearly hear his strong, thumping heartbeat.
The smell of his sweat mixed with the scent of rain and the lingering smell of the battle was unpleasant, yet it clearly gave her a sense of security.
She felt even more dizzy, and her heart was pounding.
In a daze, the image of another person flashed through my mind.
That guy who always has a cigarette in his mouth, a bit lazy, and who silently walks on her side after missions.Asuma.if he knew.
Thinking about this, Hong's mind became even more confused, like a tangled mess of yarn, from which she couldn't make sense of it.
She sighed softly, buried her burning cheeks against Kai's chest, and closed her eyes as if trying to escape, letting Kai carry her quickly through the rain.
Akatsuchi and Bunga, from Iwagakure, were even more direct.Upon hearing the order to retreat, they didn't hesitate.The soil beneath their feet churned up, and they used Earth Release to sink into the ground, disappearing incredibly fast.
Kankuro is even more stunning.
He endured the excruciating pain in his ears as he manipulated the raven puppet.
The puppet snapped and transformed, wrapping him up like a rice dumpling, leaving only his head sticking out, and then carried him on its back.
"Teacher, let's go!"
He shouted at Machi.
Maki nodded, manipulated the airflow, flew at low altitude, and retreated towards Sunagakure without looking back.
He felt like he was living a life worse than staying in this godforsaken place for even a second longer.
Pain, the Deva Path, hovered in mid-air, watching the people below scatter like birds and beasts.
He could leave one or two more behind, such as that Sand Village kid who looks the most seriously injured, or that taijutsu ninja in the green bodysuit.
However, we have already obtained the Eight-Tails' chakra and achieved our main objective.Forcibly keeping them would be too costly and not worthwhile.
He symbolically chased after Kai a few steps in the direction he had retreated, swung a few black sticks like javelins, but Kai dodged them, so he stopped in place and did not pursue him any further.
Almost at the same time that the Rain Country called for a retreat.
Konoha Village, near Kazenchi.
Sasuke, dressed in black, swept across the rooftops, his crimson Sharingan flashing in the shadows.
Several Konoha guards on watch at the street corner only saw a red light flash before their eyes, their minds went blank, and they collapsed to the ground without even uttering a sound, trapped in the illusion.
Sasuke made a hand gesture behind him.
Several disguised elite members of the Fog Shadows secretly infiltrated a quaint mansion.
Not long after.
"boom!"
A violent explosion came from the direction of Elder Mitokado En's residence!
Flames shot into the sky, accompanied by a shrill, brief scream that pierced the silent night.
Immediately following were the sounds of even more intense explosions of detonating tags and faint flashes of electricity, traces of the elder and his guards' desperate struggle.
"What's going on?"
Jiraiya looked up from the map, his expression changing drastically."The village has been attacked?"
He rushed to the window and looked in the direction from which the explosion had come.His face was extremely pale."That direction.is the elders' residence!"
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.
Is it that masked man who keeps haunting us?
Wait, didn't that guy just show up in the Land of Rain?
Could there be accomplices?Or.other forces?
They deliberately chose this critical juncture to attack the elders?
"Oh shit!"
Jiraiya cursed, his figure vanished from the window, turning into a streak of white light as he rushed toward the explosion site at top speed.
Along the way, his mind raced, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
If it was truly an assassination attempt targeting an elder, then the other party's intentions were all too obvious: to take advantage of Konoha's attention being drawn to the Akatsuki organization, leaving the village vulnerable, and to carry out a decapitation strike to disrupt the peace!
He sped up to the limit, wishing he could fly to the scene immediately.
However, when he finally arrived at the mansion that had been engulfed in flames, all he saw were towering flames, shattered walls, and.Elder Mitomon En, lying in a pool of blood, his death gruesome.
Chaos reigned all around, and the arriving secret agents were working hard to extinguish the fire and search for survivors and traces of the enemy.
Jiraiya stood there, looking at the horrific scene before him, a chilling rage shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"Find them!Find those scumbags for me!"
