Namikaze Minato half-crouched on the ground and used his perception ability to confirm the number of enemies again.
But he discovered that although he could sense the chakra of other people in the cave, the feeling was somewhat different.
In the final analysis, the true bodies of Payne and others did not appear in the cave, but relied on the magic of the lantern body of the Samsara Eye to materialize here.
However, just when Namikaze Minato was about to find out more about the situation.
The chakra of the enemy located near the stream gradually changed.
The chakra of one of them made Namikaze Minato feel familiar.
"Um?"
Namikaze Minato frowned slightly, "Could this chakra be..."
"Itachi?"
Although Uchiha Itachi was only six or seven years old when Namikaze Minato died to seal the Nine-Tails, the relationship between Kushina and Mikoto was very good.
In addition, Itachi had already made a name for himself at that time.
Naturally, Namikaze Minato was no stranger to Itachi's chakra.
What made him feel strange was that not only the person hiding in the dark had turned into Itachi.
Behind the boulder, he also sensed Itachi's chakra.
Uchiha Itachi...
There are two.
Such a strange situation made Namikaze Minato immediately take out his kunai.
At the same time, he made a gesture to Sasuke and others on the side.
"coming."
Namikaze Minato murmured softly, mentally preparing himself to face the enemy.
At the same time, Namikaze Minato became more convinced of his previous conjecture.
The Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara were absolutely in the cave, pulling out one of Gaara's bodies.
And the opponent also has ninjas with extremely strong sensory abilities.
soon……
Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Kisaki jumped high from the stream below and appeared in front of Namikaze Minato, one on the left and the other on the right.
Namikaze Minato is also good.
So be it Sasuke and the others.
When they found someone from the Akatsuki organization appearing, they all stared at each other and observed each other carefully.
I saw Itachi and Kisame both wearing a set of red cloud coats.
Judging from the appearance, Itachi and Sasuke are very similar, both are very handsome.
However, Kisame's appearance made people feel surprised.
His hair turned dark blue under the sunlight, his face looked very similar to that of a shark, and his eyes had golden pupils.
The ninja tool carried behind him was tightly wrapped in white bandages.
Namikaze Minato naturally knew about Itachi's identity.
He also knows that his Sharingan can release powerful ninjutsu.
So when observing the enemy, Namikaze Minato deliberately avoided Itachi's sight.
To prevent himself from being dragged into Itachi's illusion world unknowingly.
Namikaze Minato looked Kisame up and down.
Although it was his first time meeting Kisame, he also knew something about the rebellious ninja in each village.
What's more, Kisame's appearance is so unique that anyone who sees this face will be deeply impressed.
Moreover, Kisame was wearing the Kirigakure forehead protector with a horizontal line drawn on it.
These clues also allowed Namikaze Minato to see through his identity at a glance.
"The S-class rebel ninja of Kirigakure Village, Inigaki Kisame."
Namikaze Minato's eyes narrowed slightly and he revealed Kisame's identity.
However, when Namikaze Minato and Yuryu and others were observing Itachi and Kisame.
The two of them also observed Namikaze Minato.
It is worth mentioning that although Obito and Black Zetsu obtained the information that Zero was Namikaze Minato.
But the two of them didn't tell Itachi and Kisame about this.
No matter what, Obito didn't completely trust Itachi.
Naturally, you won’t report everything to him.
So for this man who was chasing after him, he was the jounin who was responsible for his younger brother.
Itachi didn't quite know his identity either.
But he felt a familiar feeling from Namikaze Minato.
"We can't let you pass here."
"Konoha's little brother."
Seeing that Itachi and Minato Namikaze were silent, Kisame broke the silence here.
Warn Namikaze Minato not to take another step forward.
Just considering that Pain's order was to delay time, Kisame had no intention of fighting.
If the other party could leave peacefully, he would save the trouble to take action.
But who knows...
Just as the three of them were confronting each other, Sasuke, who was lurking behind the grass, could no longer control his emotions.
"Itachi!"
He immediately roared at Itachi.
In any case, a large part of the reason why Sasuke wanted to participate in this rescue operation was because he felt that if he tracked down the Akatsuki organization, he might encounter Itachi who had defected to Konoha.
Now that he saw Uchiha Itachi standing not far in front of Namikaze Minato, how could he control his emotions?
"shave!"
Without any hesitation, Sasuke directly used the six postures taught to him by Zefeng.
Immediately, a spider web-like crack was left on the ground.
The figure disappeared directly beside Naruto.
It's just that this time the six-style shaving contained Sasuke's anger, confusion, confusion and many other emotions.
The power that bursts out must be even more exaggerated.
Except for that shocking trace.
Sasuke's movements set off a wave of air that swept in all directions.
Not only uprooting the grass they used to hide.
Naruto and Xianglin were also suppressed by this wave of air and could not open their eyes.
As for Yulong and others who saw Sasuke using the Six Styles of Shave for the first time, they were even more stunned at this time.
I didn't expect that just the act of rushing out would cause such exaggerated ripples.
By the time Naruto reacted, Sasuke had already appeared in front of Itachi.
Sasuke was naturally not polite to his brother whom he had not seen for a long time.
He clenched his fingers together hard, and the black pupils in his eyes turned blood red at some point.
Three black magatama were reflected in his pupils.
"Sasuke?"
Feeling a fist blow towards his face, Itachi's eyes also changed.
My heart felt like a stormy sea.
It's not like he didn't know that his younger brother had come here with Namikaze Minato.
But I really didn't expect Sasuke to be so strong now.
Not only opened the three magatama sharingan.
His lurking position is one to two hundred meters away from him.
Such speed made him think of the man named Zefeng.
Of course, although Sasuke's attack shocked him, it couldn't be said to be caught off guard.
No matter what, Uchiha Itachi himself is also a super genius.
The body is also in peak condition.
He subconsciously held his breath and quickly raised his left hand to block Sasuke's wrist and intercept his fist.
The other hand pressed down on Sasuke's arm and pressed hard.
It directly changed Sasuke's body center of gravity, making his body tilt to one side.
Plus the height difference between the two.
In order to attack Itachi's face.
Sasuke was almost flying into the air.
Both feet cannot touch the ground immediately.
Of course it can't change the fact that he fell to one side.
At least that's what Itachi thought, so he raised his right leg and threw a whip kick towards Sasuke's abdomen.
Wanting to kick Itachi directly into the stream below.
However, too late, Sasuke, who was blocked from attacking, not only did not show surprise, but instead met Itachi's gaze.
"Moonstep."
In front of Itachi, Sasuke said lightly.
His right foot stepped into the air, forcing himself to stand upright.
Itachi naturally did not expect Sasuke's performance. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, it was too late to retract the whip leg thrown out by his right foot.
A bad premonition began to arise in Itachi's heart.
Bang!
I saw Sasuke bending the knee of his left leg, lifting it up hard, and blocked Itachi's whip kick with his calf.
In addition, Itachi's hands were used to seal Sasuke's right fist, so that his abdomen was now completely open, completely exposed to Sasuke.
but……
Kisame on the side was not indifferent.
Seeing Sasuke's sudden attack, he also drew out his sword, Samehada, and slammed it down towards Sasuke's left shoulder.
I want to help Itachi deal with this extremely fast kid.
But he ignored Namikaze Minato who had been squatting on the ground.
Whether it's Sasuke, Itachi or Kisame's movements.
He saw it all.
"Flying Thunder God."
Namikaze Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique left on Sasuke to instantly appear beside him. Facing Samehada's falling sword, he decisively raised his arm and blocked it with the kunai he had taken out in advance.
Keng!
Kunai and Samehada collided together forcefully, making a crisp impact sound.
Since Kisame was born with strange strength, this sword slash was even more powerful.
Namikaze Minato's arms couldn't help but sink.
The ground where he stood was even cracked with traces visible to the naked eye.
But even so, Namikaze Minato barely managed to catch Kisame's attack.
The two sides looked at each other, and Kisame's eyes couldn't help but have a flash of surprise.
He didn't see the man's movements clearly until Namikaze Minato appeared and blocked his attack.
"What a quick instant..."
Almost as a subconscious reaction, Kisame couldn't help but praise Namikaze Minato.
Sasuke, on his side, also used all his strength and slammed his left fist into Itachi's abdomen.
Bang!
With a loud bang exploding in the ears of the four people, Itachi's body flew out like a kite with its string broken.
"Sasuke."
Although Sasuke had the upper hand in this confrontation, Namikaze Minato could also feel the anger emanating from Sasuke.
This kind of emotion has never been of any positive help in combat.
"calm down."
But where can Sasuke calm down now?
After seeing Itachi flying backwards, Sasuke kicked his feet hard and chased Itachi.
"You have grown up, Sasuke." Itachi said to Sasuke as he flew out.
Many emotions emerged from the bottom of my heart.
The surprise in his eyes gradually turned into a bit of relief.
No matter what, Sasuke has always been the younger brother he treats.
However, Itachi's relief quickly disappeared from his eyes.
Because he felt a strong hostility from Sasuke.
And this hostility quickly turned into a sense of oppression, rushing towards him.
What followed was Sasuke's questioning.
"Itachi, why did you leave the village without saying a word!"
Itachi's body drew a parabola in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.
Driven by inertia, it rolled several times in succession.
At the same time, Sasuke approached in an instant, grabbed his fist with his five fingers again, and punched Itachi.
Even if it means breaking Itachi's hands and feet, he will take Itachi back to the village.
But Itachi was no ordinary ninja. Feeling the approaching crisis, Itachi pressed his hands down and pushed his body into the air with the help of the reaction force fed back from the ground.
Just missed Sasuke's fist.
boom!
The power of Sasuke's iron fist remained unabated, and he hit Itachi directly under the body, causing a loud noise like thunder.
Today, Sasuke has not only mastered all six postures, but has also practiced his physical skills to the extreme.
With one punch, not only did the entire land fall apart, but a terrifying air current was created, sweeping out in all directions.
Even Itachi, who had quick eyes and quick hands, could not escape Sasuke's attack this time.
The abdomen was hit hard by this airflow, and the strong energy shook Itachi's internal organs.
Under strong pressure, Itachi spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, spraying it into the sky.
Like a dancing red butterfly!
This was just the flow of air from Sasuke's punch.
If he was hit solidly by this punch, I'm afraid the injury would be more serious.
Seeing his own blood splattering with his own eyes, Itachi not only widened his eyes, but his pupils were also shaking crazily.
He obviously couldn't believe how far Sasuke had grown.
"It seems that Hefeng has really taught everything he has over the years..."
Itachi sighed in his heart.
"Why."
"Why did you betray the village?"
"Betrayal of Brother Zefeng?!"
Sasuke couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and roared repeatedly.
Although he didn't know what kind of organization Akatsuki was and what its ambitions were, he could clearly hear the evil deeds of the Red Sand Scorpion.
"Why would you join an organization like Akatsuki?"
"That guy from the Red Sand Scorpion was able to kill even the Third Kazekage who was kind to him, and even made him into a human puppet."
"It's simply inhumane."
"This is enough to show that the Akatsuki organization is not worthy of being trusted at all!"
Sasuke continued to yell at Itachi, he really couldn't understand Itachi's thoughts.
"Why are you leaving Konoha!"
However, faced with Sasuke's question, Itachi did not answer directly.
He observed Sasuke's movements, and after ensuring that he was temporarily safe, he quickly changed his direction in mid-air. Before his heels could grasp the ground, Itachi used the inertia to quickly retreat.
Pull away from Sasuke.
"Sasuke, you are the one who knows nothing."
Itachi watched Sasuke's movements and simply opened his Sharingan.
Although meeting Sasuke here was not part of his plan, now that he did.
He felt that maybe there were some things that Sasuke should know.
Of course not here.
Itachi stepped back again and again.
Anyone could tell that he was trying to lure Sasuke to the other side.
Upon seeing this, Naruto asked You Long and others to protect Xiang Lin's safety.
Then, Naruto ignored the reaction of Youlong and others and disappeared directly.
Although Naruto didn't know that his teacher Zero was the legendary Fourth Hokage.
But he knew very well the strength of this teacher.
"That shark guy looks very fierce, but if it's Teacher Zero, there must be nothing wrong with him."
While Naruto used the Six Styles of Shave, he glanced at Namikaze Minato.
"Don't worry about me, Naruto, go help Sasuke." Namikaze Minato felt Naruto's gaze and reminded him without thinking.
There is absolutely no pressure on my side.
And with Namikaze Minato's words, Naruto felt more at ease.
He nodded towards Namikaze Minato, then rushed towards Sasuke with full firepower.
But at this moment, Kisame couldn't help but sneered when he saw Naruto passing by Minato Namikaze.
"It seems that I have been underestimated by you."
Kisame couldn't help but complain to Namikaze Minato.
"Although Brother Itachi is indeed very strong, I am not weak either."
"The ninja of Konoha."
He kindly reminded Namikaze Minato. At the same time, Samehada's special ability was activated, trying to absorb Namikaze Minato's chakra.
In Kisame's view, no matter what kind of ninja he is, no matter what kind of ninjutsu he masters, he must have enough chakra to support it.
And his Samehada sword can capture the opponent's chakra when it comes into contact.
And it can also absorb this chakra energy to make itself stronger.
One will ebb and flow, and the final winner will only be yourself.
The most important thing is that it doesn't matter if he or Itachi.
None of them are true entities.
It is the same body created by Payne's Samsara Eye.
He only has 50% chakra.
Once consumed, the Elephant Turning Technique will be forced to cancel.
But I am different.
He can steal other people's chakra through Samehada's ability.
In this way, one's identity becomes stronger and stronger.
But just when Kisame lamented that he was the most difficult enemy to deal with.
Namikaze Minato standing in front of him suddenly disappeared from his sight.
Kisame: "?!!"
It was almost an instinctive reaction. His eyes widened in shock, and he felt incredible in his heart.
Although he felt that he was now stronger and more difficult to deal with than Itachi, he did not underestimate the thoughts of Konoha ninjas.
On the contrary, Kisame also knew that this guy's speed was incredible, so he stared at Namikaze Minato's every move.
"I didn't even blink my eyes. How did this guy avoid the attack?"
Kisame narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Namikaze Minato up and down.
He suddenly recalled that Itachi had said when he met him that any ninjutsu would have its weaknesses.
But from the moment Namikaze Minato activated his ninjutsu to the time he left his side, it seemed that it was not used for a moment.
That exaggerated speed is like time suddenly standing still.
By the time he came to his senses, the Konoha ninja in front of him had already retreated five meters away, beyond the attack range of the great sword Samehada.
Until then, Namikaze Minato said slowly.
"Mr. Kisame, I know very well that you are very powerful, so that's why I didn't ask Naruto to come over to help."
As early as the Third Ninja War, Namikaze Minato had fought against the ninja troops of Kirigakure Village.
Everyone has heard about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
The first time he looked at Kisame, he recognized the weapon on his cell phone. It was the Great Sword Samehada that could steal the chakra ability of others.
As the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Naruto possesses tremendous chakra.
Once the Nine-Tails chakra is taken away by Samehada, the consequences are no joke.
What he didn't expect was that even with a kunai, the other party could still take away his chakra.
"It seems that in the next battle, there will be no physical contact with Kisame's sword."
Namikaze Minato thought to himself while quickly thinking of countermeasures.
"This guy knows my Samehada very well." Kisame reacted immediately after hearing Minato's words.
but……
"Some things, even if you know the answer, are unavoidable."
Kisame pointed one end of the sword's sword at Namikaze Minato.
As if declaring victory, he said forcefully: "Next, I will not only take away all your chakra, but also the chakra of the two Jinchuuriki will be eaten away by my Samehada. .”
On the one hand, his words are a sign of confidence in his own strength.
On the other hand, he wanted to inform Namikaze Minato in this way.
Konoha may have some information about the Akatsuki organization.
But the intelligence capabilities of their Akatsuki organization are also not bad.
This was used to shake Namikaze Minato's heart.
To create opportunities for yourself to capture chakra.
In other words, this is a psychological tactic used by Kisame.
"Besides, it was not a wise decision to let those two brats deal with Brother Itachi."
While speaking to Namikaze Minato, Kisame kicked the ground and rushed towards the opponent with all his strength.
The broad Sharkar sword looked very light in his hand.
Sweeping violently towards Namikaze Minato.
Soon enough, Namikaze Minato threw the kunai in his hand towards Kisame's front.
It seemed that he wanted to use this attack to force Kisame back.
And his steps also retreated, avoiding the Sweeping Samehada.
However, Kisame himself is a ninja who is not afraid of life and death, and now he is just the same body created by the Shoken Jutsu.
Even if he is killed by Namikaze Minato here, he will only die as a sacrifice.
With the blessing of dual conditions, it was even less likely that he would be afraid of Namikaze Minato's kunai.
Seeing Namikaze Minato retreating, he also changed his center of gravity and chased after him.
In addition, the movement of waving Samehada created an air current like a wind blade.
In Kisame's eyes, this masked Konoha ninja has been forced into a desperate situation by himself!
"it's over!"
Kisame opened his mouth wide and roared like a beast at Namikaze Minato.
He didn't care at all about the flying kunai.
No……
He still cares.
If the vital tissue of the brain is severely damaged, his sacrifice will die suddenly on the spot.
So at the most critical moment, Kisame suddenly tilted his head.
But he just tilted his head.
Key organizations are avoided.
But the sharp kunai still stabbed the right side of his face, peeling off the skin and muscles on his face layer by layer.
Blood spurted out and splashed everywhere.
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel frightened.
I am in the state of reincarnation from the filthy earth, so I don't dare to be radical.
But this Kisame used his flesh and blood to run rampant.
It really feels like burning the boat.
At the same time, this also made Namikaze Minato couldn't help but admire Kisame.
However, admiration is admiration.
Namikaze Minato still focused his chakra towards his right hand and made it rotate at high speed.
"Rasengan!"
The next moment, the thrown kunai completely cut open Kisame's face and flew behind him.
It's too late, it's faster than that!
