Two days later.
Lieduo Kingdom, the royal palace.
As an envoy from the Kingdom of Ghosts, Shiraishi expressed condolences to the King of Lietuo Kingdom. After hearing Baishi's origin, the King of Lietuo Kingdom, who was sitting on the throne in the main hall, also looked at Baishi with surprised eyes, and then slowly spoke:
"The Kingdom of Ghosts, I remember from the records of the ancient kings, it seems to be a country ruled by witches, and its history is as old as our Lietuo Kingdom... But, Mr. Chiba Shiraishi, are you really willing to serve Lietuo? Does Tuo Kingdom provide sufficient water sources?"
Baishi looked at the king of Lietuo Kingdom. He was an old man over fifty years old. His eyes were soft and kind, but his whole person seemed very energetic.
Through conversation, Shiraishi can determine that this is a king who loves his people like a son.
In the eyes of Lietuo Kingdom with hope, Bai Shi solemnly nodded and said: "It is absolutely true. I can represent the country of ghosts and engage in diplomacy with your country to provide your country with sufficient living water sources so that Lietuo Country will no longer Distressed by water shortage.”
The King of Lietuo Kingdom pondered for a moment and said: "So, Mr. Qianye Shiraishi, what do you want to get from Lietuo Kingdom? I am not afraid of your ridicule. Lietuo Kingdom has been in seclusion for hundreds of years. It is a land built on an oasis. It is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. If the Kingdom of Ghosts is really willing to help Lietuo Kingdom solve the problem of water shortage, as the king, I will be grateful."
Although Lietuo Kingdom has been closed to the outside world for centuries, diplomacy between countries is based on the interests of exchanging what they have. As the king of Lietuo Kingdom, he still understands this truth.
Baishi helped Lietuo Kingdom in this way, he must have other wishes for Lietuo Kingdom.
"I hope that the national library of Lietuo Kingdom will be opened to me. I need to enter it and investigate some information."
Baishi's conditions somewhat surprised the king of Lietuo Kingdom.
Because not long ago, a snake-like man named Orochimaru also made the same condition.
However, unlike Shiraishi's long-term support to the Redo Kingdom to solve the water shortage problem, the water source provided by Orochimaru is limited and will be used up in ten years at most.
"Is it just this?"
"Yes, because of some things, I need to go into it and investigate some documents about ancient times. In addition, I hope that those books can be copied by me."
Although some of the documents were taken away by Orochimaru, many documents are still preserved in the national library of Lietuo Kingdom.
"That's it, okay."
The King of Lietuo Kingdom thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He didn't know why outsiders always wanted to explore ancient documents recently, but as long as the water shortage problem in Lietuo Kingdom could be completely solved, even if the entire national library was given to the Kingdom of Ghosts, it would not be a problem for him. What a pity.
Faced with the pressure of survival, as the king of Lietuo Kingdom, he must consider the lives of his citizens instead of prioritizing ancient books.
The issue of survival is the most important.
Living is a top priority. This is the view of the King of Redo Kingdom.
If people can't guarantee their own survival, those books are just useless waste paper.
"I'm very grateful. Someone will come over to discuss related diplomatic matters in the near future. In addition, if His Majesty the King is willing, we can also help Lietuo Kingdom open the way to the outside world and allow Lietuo Country to formally integrate into the outside world."
In Baishi's view, the reason why Lietuo Kingdom is so closed is due to its unique geographical environment.
The entire country is surrounded by rocky mountains with an altitude of more than several thousand meters. Beyond the rocky mountains, there is thousands of miles of desert. If ordinary people want to pass through layers of desert and then climb thousands of meters of mountains, it is easy for accidents to occur on the way.
This resulted in the information between Lietuo Kingdom and the outside world being almost disconnected.
When asking people from the outside about Lietuo Kingdom, they were probably also confused, thinking that there was no such country as Lietuo Country in the ninja world.
Only some poems mention the existence of this country.
Previously, in the intelligence system of the Kingdom of Ghosts, there was only a few words about the Lietuo Kingdom.
But I didn't expect that such a closed country would have contact with the former Six Paths Immortal.
"Do you want to communicate with the outside world? Forget it, with such high mountains surrounding the country, it is very difficult to communicate with the outside world. Besides, I heard the former kings say that the outside world is very chaotic, and I don't want the people to be involved in cruel wars. among.”
Although the understanding of war still stayed a few centuries ago, the King of Lietuo Kingdom also knew the cruelty of war. Rather than doing that, it would be better to protect this pure land and live a peaceful life with peace of mind.
Therefore, he was not particularly enthusiastic about Shiraishi's proposal to bring Lietuo Kingdom to the outside world. On the contrary, he was very repulsive.
"..."
Shiraishi sighed inwardly.
Lietuo Kingdom's closed-door mentality was far beyond his imagination.
However, this is also the way of survival for Lietuo Kingdom. Others make fun of Lietuo Country for its ignorance and closedness, but the people of Lietuo Country are wondering why the outside world wants to start a war.
Just having enjoyed hundreds of years of peace without war, Lietuo Kingdom has made many countries envious.
Baishi knew that changing Lietuo Kingdom's closed mind was not something that could be accomplished in the short term.
But no matter how closed this country is, sooner or later outsiders will break the tranquility.
Under his deliberate promotion, the ninja world will enter the era of technological revolution ahead of schedule. By that time, all closed areas in the ninja world will be revealed one by one.
Whether it is active or forced, this trend cannot be changed.
However, changing Lietuo Kingdom can only wait until later.
The top priority is to analyze the ancient documents of Lietuo Kingdom as soon as possible.
Even though the most important parts were taken away by Orochimaru, there are definitely some leftovers.
In such a huge library, it is normal for one or two books to be missed occasionally.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now."
"Okay, I'll have someone take you to the library."
The King of Lieduo Kingdom nodded and ordered the specialized personnel to lead Baishi to the national library.
◎
Lietuo Kingdom National Library.
A dozen scholars from the Kingdom of Ghosts who came with Shiraishi were reading books in this huge library.
These scholars from the Kingdom of Ghosts are all experts in ancient writing. Although they are not ninjas, they are keen to explore the past history of the ninja world. Even ancient texts are not particularly difficult for them to interpret.
The ancient books in the library of Lietuo Kingdom made them feel like they had found a treasure.
But they have not forgotten the purpose of their coming, which is to find ancient books about the legend of the Six Paths Immortals and convert the texts into modern texts.
After all, although Shiraishi is interested in the history of the ninja world, he has not specifically studied ancient writing, and it is very difficult to decipher it.
Also coming with Shiraishi were Ruri and Ayane. They were also interested in the country of Lietuo, and it involved the Immortals of the Six Paths and meteorites falling from the sky. No matter which kind they were, they were worthy of their serious attention. treat.
Analyzing ancient texts is not difficult for scholars in the Kingdom of Ghosts. The only difficulty is that there are too many books here. In just a few days, it is difficult to find all the books about the deeds of the Six Paths Immortal.
Therefore, after staying in the library for three full days, the scholars finally found the books related to the deeds of the Six Paths Immortal one by one and placed them in front of Shiraishi and the others.
In a single room in the library, Shiraishi looked at a pile of texts in front of him. They had been translated into modern languages, so it was not particularly difficult for him to read them.
One of the articles caught Shiraishi's attention.
The general content of the above is that the Immortal of Six Paths once suffered from a strange disease and traveled to the Lietuo Kingdom. He met Tatar, an astronomer from the Lietuo Kingdom thousands of years ago, and the two became friends.
During the two people's acquaintance, the strange disease of Immortal Six Paths recurred again. At this moment, a meteorite fell from the sky. Immortal Six Paths split it open, but the power of the meteorite still spread to the ground. The pit formed a lake.
After the Immortal of Six Paths split open the meteorite, the strange disease on his body completely disappeared.
The reason is that meteorites contain wonderful space materials, which are called "polar particles" by astronomer Tatar. This material has very terrifying power.
But Immortal Six Paths felt that such power might be of great use in the future, so he took out the 'polar particles' from the meteorite and divided it into two parts. Part of it was placed in a place called "The Sky Falling on the Earth" in Lietuo Kingdom.
The other half of the polar particles are placed at the 'planets that have not left'.
"The sky that fell on the ground... probably refers to the lake that was formed on the ground due to accumulated rain when meteorites fell thousands of years ago."
After reading the content of the text, Shiraishi remembered something.
According to the information obtained by Obito, Orochimaru took out half of the pole particles at the lake location of the "Sky that fell on the ground" in the Reedo Kingdom. Because the lake can illuminate the sky, it is called the 'sky falling on the ground'.
It was also named Liuhu, after the first character of the Immortal of Six Paths.
"So, where are the planets that haven't left...?"
Ayane said with a frown.
Shiraishi thought for a moment and replied: "The sky that fell on the ground refers to the underground. Then, the planet that has not left... the planet should refer to somewhere in the sky. If the legend of the Six Paths Immortal making the moon is true, then he will It is not impossible for the other half of the polar particles to be emitted high into the sky and stop somewhere in the sky."
"Speaking of which, the ability of the Samsara Eye does include the ability to control gravity."
Liuli also thought of something.
"And if you want to obtain the pole particles, you need a specific seal. Orochimaru interpreted the method of unlocking the seal based on the game of placing stars in the Ratto Kingdom. The earth card corresponds to the ground, and the star card... the star must be in the sky. So, the remaining The half of the polar particles falling down can only be somewhere in the sky."
The twelve flower cards in the pendulum stars of Lietuo Kingdom correspond to the month of December and the twelve constellations.
Among them, flower cards are divided into two types: star cards and earth cards.
Because the polar particles of the Redo Kingdom are located on the ground, Orochimaru analyzed the method of decoding the earth tablets.
Then, if the other half of the polar particles are placed high in the sky, they should correspond to the six types of star cards. Then, by arranging them according to the twelve basic ninja seals, the correct sequence of seals can be obtained.
"If that's the case, how do you get it? Even with the latest model of flying ninja, it might be difficult to get close to the position of the half-polar particle."
Liuli felt that it was very difficult to obtain polar particles high in the sky with their methods.
"When I use a large amount of dragon vein chakra, the fire elf and Tianyu Girl can fly to a position about 50,000 meters above the ground. If they continue upward, it will become very difficult."
Fifty thousand meters, that is, fifty kilometers.
This is his clone's highest ascending position.
The supply of chakra is one thing, but the most critical thing is the harsh environment at high altitude.
Although Fire Elf and Tianyu Girl are artificial humans, they are better at dealing with many harsh environments than humans. However, this kind of response also has its limits, and it is impossible to really ignore the high-altitude environment.
"I think you are overthinking, Mr. Shiraishi. Before determining the height of the polar particle, we must first find the position of the polar particle. If the position cannot be determined, even if the height is determined, we don't know where to start. "
Ayane poured cold water on her.
Shiraishi nodded in agreement: "Yes, determining the position of the polar particles is the first thing. However, Orochimaru acted earlier than us. While we are guessing here, he may have already started to act."
Although he didn't want to admit it, by the time they determined the location of the polar particles, Orochimaru had probably already obtained the half of the polar particles.
Obtaining extreme particles from high altitude may be difficult for others, but ninjas have various methods, and Orochimaru is a ninja with quick thinking. Coupled with Nagato's Rinnegan, there is no guarantee that he will not succeed.
Even so, Shiraishi did not sit still and began to patiently continue to read the information.
Ayane and Liuli did not interrupt, and calmly searched for records about the Six Paths Sage in the literature. Maybe they could find more clues about the other half of the polar particles.
More than half an hour passed like this, when Shiraishi suddenly let out a startled cry, attracting the attention of Liuli and Ayane.
"What's wrong? Did you find any clues?"
Liuli asked.
Shiraishi did not answer immediately, but spread out the text in his hand and placed it in front of Ruri and Ayane.
"This is……"
Seeing the content above, Liuli and Ayane both looked surprised.
This translated modern text is not about the deeds of the Six Paths Immortal, but records a mysterious technique.
Reincarnation is the translated name.
As the name suggests, this is a ninjutsu that can truly bring the dead back to life.
The inventor is ominous, but there is no correlation between the technique and the Samsara Eye, so there is a high probability that it was not created by the Immortal of Six Paths. It was probably some kind of forbidden reincarnation technique created by the ancients of Lietuo Kingdom.
"It's a technique similar to reincarnation. I remember that when you created the child, you seemed to have filled it with a similar technique."
Ayane thought of something.
Shiraishi nodded and said: "Ako does have the ability to resurrect, but that resurrection technique is too restrictive and can only be used on a single target. It can only be used once in a lifetime. But this reincarnation technique is different. It can be used by outsiders without restrictions and consumes It is only chakra, not the life force of the practitioner."
As he said this, Bai Shi felt regretful again.
"Unfortunately, this does not seem to be a complete technique. It is just a piece of information about the creation of the reincarnation technique, and many parts are incomplete."
"Can that be further improved?"
Resurrecting the dead is undoubtedly the most advanced ninjutsu.
Once this technique is fully mastered, it means that the three of them can use more tactics together in the future.
"The derivation process is difficult, but for me, it is not a problem. Shigulin's magic is originally inclined towards vitality, and it has the same purpose as this reincarnation technique. Although the position of the other half of the polar particles is not obtained, the position of the other half of the polar particles is obtained. This research material will make your trip worthwhile.”
Holding the research materials on reincarnation, Shiraishi finally showed a smile on his face.
He no longer had any expectations for the other half of the polar particles. As a result, he now received research information on the reincarnation technique, which can be said to be an unexpected surprise.
He can't wait to return to the Kingdom of Ghosts and start researching this reincarnation technique.
Of course, one of the polar particles in hand needs to be analyzed as soon as possible. If polar particles can enhance a ninja's strength, then it might allow his clone to grow even further.
◎
Late March.
On a sunny day, when the winter snow melts, the greenery of early spring begins to spread in many places.
At the Rain Country Conference, Konoha, which had lost its title as the leader of the Ninja Village, also ushered in a brief period of peace.
"Replace squad leader?"
Arriving at the office of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kakashi looked slightly surprised.
Under Kakashi's surprised gaze, Hiruzen solemnly nodded and said: "Yes, all three ANBU captains except Tenzo need to be replaced. Not only that, but they also need to be secretly monitored. Some of them colluded with the Kingdom of Demons. There was civil strife in the Kingdom of Waves. As a result, the news only reached Konoha after the civil strife began. It was obvious that someone secretly intercepted the information, which delayed the opportunity."
Among the ANBU, the only ones who could do this were the squad leaders.
Kakashi was also capable of doing it, but Hiruzen didn't think it would be Kakashi who did it.
Although Kakashi's life experience had some kind of 'close' relationship with Chiba Shiraishi and others, as far as Hiruzen knew, the relationship between Kakashi and Shiraishi and the others began to gradually become distant later on.
Coupled with Minato's guidance, Kakashi risked his life to save Jiraiya, which was also the fact that Hiruzen firmly believed that Kakashi was a Konoha ninja.
And Kakashi has lived up to expectations. He has worked conscientiously in the ANBU over the years and has done an excellent job in everything he does.
Since he became the head of ANBU, he has also shared a lot of pressure for him.
This reminded Hiruzen of Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo.
Inheriting his father's White Fang sword skills, Kakashi is naturally Konoha's sharpest sword.
He is the important leader he will leave to the Fifth Hokage.
"But the other three ANBU captains were dismissed for this reason..."
Kakashi was very embarrassed.
Hiruzen also sighed and said: "I don't want to do this, but Konoha will enter an extremely important period of development, and we cannot allow any more accidents. For the positions of the three of them, elite Jonin will be selected from the ANBU. Take the position of acting squad leader. Once the investigation is over, and if there is indeed no problem with them, reinstate them to their original positions."
"That way, they might be more accepting."
Kakashi nodded. From the perspective of a Konoha ninja, he really should speak like this.
"I'll leave this to you, Kakashi."
"No, this is what I should do."
However, this guess is obviously wrong.
Although he had placed spies from the Kingdom of Demons in the ANBU, they were not at the squad leader level.
Because ANBU at the squad leader level will receive more attention and easily expose their weaknesses.
He alone is enough for the upper level of ANBU.
As for why the ANBU's information was delayed, it was because the ANBU in the Land of Waves had been manipulated by people using Sharingan illusions without even realizing it, and had been misled in time, successfully allowing the Daimyofu and Konoha of the Land of Fire to misunderstanding occurs.
Of course, Kakashi would never say such words.
But he also knew that Hiruzen was going to make serious moves to purge the Ghost Country spies in Konoha Village.
These people need to be honest for a while.
Anyway, there hasn't been anything big happening recently. As a multi-faceted spy, he can take a good rest for a while.
"You can deal with this matter later. Also, about Uchiha Sasuke..."
Hiruzen said while looking towards Kakashi and found that the other person's eyes were looking towards the window.
Hiruzen frowned dissatisfied: "Kakashi, what's wrong with you?"
As if hearing Hiruzen's displeased tone, Kakashi also came back to his senses and let out a sigh, then realized his impoliteness.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, because I suddenly saw something falling from the sky..."
Kakashi's explanation shocked Hiruzen. He thought Kakashi was simply distracted.
He also followed Kakashi's line of sight and looked out the window, his mouth slightly open, showing a rare look of surprise.
A huge fireball, like a meteor, fell rapidly from the distant sky. According to this trend, it should eventually hit the ground.
While Hiruzen and Kakashi were stunned, the meteor fireball fell on the ground far away from Konoha.
Then, the ground seemed to have been hit hard, and the entire Hokage Building shook violently, startling Hiruzen and Kakashi.
The soaring explosion flames spurted towards the sky.
"what is that?"
Unknown things fell from the sky, both Hiruzen and Kakashi were a little stunned.
Moreover, the sound of the explosion could be felt even here in Konoha Village.
At this moment, the office door was knocked open.
His attire is that of a ninja from the Perception Class.
His face was pale, and he didn't have time to salute, so he immediately shouted in panic: "Hokage-sama, just now we discovered a very huge chakra reaction source, which is stronger than the tailed beast, not far from the village!"
Hiruzen's expression changed slightly.
"We'll talk about the replacement of the squad leader later. Kakashi, you immediately lead the ANBU to the location of the explosion to see what happened!"
The sudden chakra reaction comparable to that of a tailed beast was obviously related to the fireball that just fell to the ground. Hiruzen could only guess this.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Kakashi received the order, disappeared from the office in a flash, and quickly rushed towards the location of the explosion.

"Water Release·Exploding Water Wave!"
Water like a tsunami spewed out from the man's mouth.
The fire that spread in the forest was immediately extinguished by the water flow and turned into a wetland with a radius of several hundred meters.
But the heat generated by the meteorite falling to the ground still makes people feel like their skin is burning.
The man carrying a bandage and a big knife couldn't help but look depressed after using water escape to put out the fire.
"What? You called me here specifically to put out the fire."
Nagato, standing next to Kisame, said: "Stop complaining, you are the only one in the organization who is the best at using water escape. A fire in the forest is very troublesome."
Although this is the boundary of the Land of Fire and not far from Konoha Village, Nagato has no intention of taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
"That being said, I'm not a firefighter."
The complaint on Kisame's face deepened.
Ignoring Kisame's complaints, Nagato headed towards the center of the pit after seeing the fire extinguished.
"Speaking of which, why do you need to bring down meteorites from the sky? Is it for research?"
Seeing that his complaints were ineffective, Kisame had no choice but to follow Nagato's footsteps and want to know more details.
Nagato glanced at Kisame and said, "It's not a secret that cannot be told. There is something in this meteorite that has high research value. It is a treasure left by the Sage of Six Paths."
"Six Paths Immortal? Is it related to the Samsara Eye?"
Kisame became even more curious.
He had never heard of this matter.
"Who knows, whether it has anything to do with the reincarnation eye or not, research is needed to prove it."
Nagato said in an uncertain tone.
Soon, the two of them reached the center of the crater, where the huge meteorite had been torn apart.
Under Kisame's curious gaze, Nagato began to form seals.
A dazzling light pillar suddenly rose from the rubble of the meteorite. In the dazzling light pillar, a bamboo tube floated quietly.
Nagato did not go to get it immediately, but released a large amount of chakra from his body, and the surrounding air began to twist irregularly, even affecting the normal space structure.
"What is this doing?"
Although Nagato's gravitational force in distorting space is very powerful, Kisame believes that there is a deeper purpose in it.
"The time and space technique used to defend against someone, depending on the situation, the other party is not here."
Nagato did not explain in detail, but stretched out his hand towards the light beam.
"All things are attracted by heaven!"
The gravitational force of adsorption was generated, and the next moment, the bamboo tube in the light pillar fell into Nagato's hand.
The light pillar also disappeared from the meteorite, as if it had never happened.
"Is this what you want to get, chief? Speaking of which, the legendary immortal is really weird, he would even think of putting things in the starry sky."
Kisame couldn't help but complain.
"Probably because I don't want this power to be abused by the ninjas."
Nagato could only make such speculation.
"Even if the matter is resolved, I have to join Itachi as soon as possible. There seems to be something wrong with that guy's body."
Kisame said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yeah?"
Is there something wrong with Itachi's body?
Nagato really didn't understand this matter.
However, this was a mixed blessing for him.
It is true that Itachi is a spy who entered the Akatsuki organization with a different purpose, but he is also one of the few powerful combatants in the organization.
With his positive abilities, even a Sannin like Orochimaru is no match.
The most important thing is that Itachi is only fourteen years old now.
In terms of ninja strength, he can be said to be the most outstanding young talent in the ninja world.
If Itachi is unable to participate in the capture of the tailed beast due to physical problems, it will be a loss for the Akatsuki organization.
"Continue to pay attention. If the condition worsens, you can give him a break."
This is not caring, just hoping that Itachi can persist longer and shine for the organization.
"I see."
"Okay, I'll leave the aftermath to you. Don't be wary."
After that, Nagato took the bamboo tube and used the teleportation technique to disappear from Kisame.
"Really, it's not just about putting out the fire, but also responsible for the aftermath."
Kisame scratched his head helplessly, stood up and jumped out of the pit. He stood on the edge of the pit, looking at the charred forest, grinning slightly, revealing his sharp teeth, and laughed.
A few seconds passed like this, Kisame immediately formed seals with his hands, and a large amount of water suddenly burst out from the waterless ground.
"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"
The water converged into a huge shark, charging towards the charred forest.
Wow!
A large number of trees were washed down by sharks, and four figures jumped out of the forest and scattered around.
"Konoha's ANBU? It's coming faster than expected."
After saying this, Kisame didn't give these Konoha Anbu a chance to communicate. He concentrated chakra on his feet and rushed forward very quickly.
An ANBU took out his ninja sword and came up to fight.
Then, he felt his body sink.
The bandage sword slashed at his ninja sword, and he felt like a huge boulder pressing down on him. Qi and blood surged in his body, almost spurting out blood.
Kisame showed no mercy, and when he saw the Konoha ANBU being suppressed by his own huge power, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
laugh!
The bandage sword slashed across Konoha Anbu's shoulder, mincing the clothes there.
The Konoha ANBU groaned in pain and quickly dodged back.
The clothes on the shoulders were shredded, revealing irregular cuts.
Not only that, this Konoha Anbu also felt that his body was empty, and the chakra in his body was sucked away by something.
"As expected of Konoha Anbu, the feeling of chakra is delicious. My sword says it is very satisfied."
Feeling Samehada's joyful mood, Kisame also smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"You guy..."
The Anbu of Konoha gritted his teeth as his chakra was eaten.
"Be careful, this guy is Kirigakure's weirdo Kisame Kisaki. Before he defected to Kirigakure, he was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"
Although Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen are far less famous than the Konoha Sannin, they are also the most experienced ninjas in Kirigakure Village.
Everyone was once a well-known big shot in the ninja world.
"Stop talking nonsense! Save your lives!"
Kisame formed another seal, condensing an extremely terrifying chakra in his mouth, and even the air was filled with a strange sense of oppression, making the four Konoha Anbu look nervous.
"Water Release·Exploding Water Wave!"
This time the water blast was more powerful than the previous fire extinguishing force.
Under the horrified gazes of the four Konoha Anbu, the ground was quickly covered by raging water, forming a huge lake with a range of more than a kilometer.
"Is this guy's chakra... a monster?"
In a land without water, he could actually use such a huge scale of water escape, and he seemed to be able to do so with ease. The impact this had on the ANBU of Konoha was unimaginable.
In the ninja world, they had never seen such an exaggerated water escape.
They barely managed to stand still in the surging water, and then saw Kisame speeding over the water like a surfer, even faster than before.
boom!
The water flow exploded, and the two Anbu were unable to defend themselves. They were knocked out and vomited blood from their mouths.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
One of the other two Anbu immediately used fire escape to stop Kisame's combo attack.
Kisame waved the sword Samehada in his hand, and a wall of water suddenly rose on the surface of the water, extinguishing the fireball.
"Thunder Escape——"
Another ANBU was about to use Thunder Release to launch a surprise attack from the other side, when suddenly a shadow appeared under his feet.
A water shark emerged from the water and bit the calf of this Konoha ANBU.
"ah!"
The painful scream interrupted his ninjutsu.
A piece of meat on the calf was torn off by a water shark, and blood spurted out.
Then another water shark rushed out of the water and bit the ANBU's shoulder. The ANBU used a kunai to cut the water shark in half.
However, this is only the initial test.
After more water sharks smelled the smell of blood, their bloodthirsty desire became stronger, and they bit one after another.
Regardless of the opponent's struggle, he quickly dragged him into the water and disappeared.
Finally, a pool of bright red blood floated on the water.
All I saw was a large number of shadows moving on the water. They were water sharks. The number was hard to estimate, which made the Anbu of Konoha who had survived feel chill in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, fighting Kisame was a completely wrong decision.
Just as they were thinking about how to break the situation, the water sharks under the water rioted again.
Flying out of the water, he opened his huge mouth and bit into the remaining Anbu of Konoha.
Just when Kisame thought he was about to succeed, he suddenly heard the roar of a wild beast.
The beast transformed from thunder and lightning came through the air and swept away the water sharks that flew towards the ANBU from all around.
And carrying this unstoppable momentum, he launched an attack on Kisame, the magician.
"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!"
Seeing the ferocity of the thunder beast, Kisame did not hesitate to use the water escape technique with stronger concentrated attack power, summoning a huge water shark, and collided with the thunder beast in the air.
Rain fell all over the sky from the sky.
A figure flashed in front of the embarrassed Konoha ANBU, wearing an animal mask and staring closely at Kisame.
"minister!"
Anbu almost cried with joy behind him, feeling an unprecedented sense of security.
"This guy is not something you can deal with. Just leave it to me."
The person who appeared here was none other than Kakashi.
"yes!"
The three Anbu retreated without hesitation. Their continued stay here would only increase the pressure on Kakashi.
"I thought it was who it was, but it turned out to be the famous Kakashi. No wonder he can use such a powerful thunder escape."
Kisame laughed, and there was no fear in his tone.
"I care more about what are you doing here than this?"
Kakashi quietly pulled out the White Fang dagger from behind.
"Then it depends on your ability. Don't think that I will tell you honestly."
The water flow surged, and Kisame used the power of the water flow to attack Kakashi without hesitation.
The sword Samehada and the White Fang dagger met each other.
There seemed to be intense lightning in the air.
"It's unbelievable that you actually blocked my frontal attack. You are quite strong."
Kisame said in surprise.
"The surprise is yet to come."
In a flash, Kakashi disappeared from Kisame's sight.
"What?"
Kisame's expression changed, and he felt the skin on the side of his face sting, and he quickly turned around and swung his sword, Samehada.
As a result, all that hit was air.
A stinging feeling hit him from behind. In desperation, Kisame leaned down and rolled to one side, barely escaping Kakashi's sneak attack.
Kisame stood up and jumped, trying to distance himself from Kakashi, while forming seals with his hands to limit Kakashi's speed.
However, this time he miscalculated again.
Kakashi suddenly forced down the White Fang dagger and chopped it off.
Kisame had no choice but to give up the seal and continued to use Samehada to parry.
Kakashi's lightning-like attack speed gave him no time to use ninjutsu even with the seal.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
The scorching fire bullets hit from one side. Kakashi looked sideways and saw lightning immediately gathered in his left hand. He aimed at the fireball in front of him and slashed hard, spreading the fireball.
Kakashi stepped back and stared at the boy who suddenly appeared next to Kisame.
Wearing the same black red cloud uniform as Kisame, the scarlet three-magatama Sharingan emits an eerie light.
Uchiha Itachi!
"Long time no see, Captain Kakashi."
Itachi spoke in a calm tone.
Kakashi didn't answer, just stared at Itachi and Kisame warily, holding the White Fang dagger in his hand tighter.
"Itachi, why are you here?"
Kisame turned his head and asked in confusion.
"We are members of the same team. I am not worried about the situation on your side, so I came here to take a look."
More importantly, Itachi wanted to know what Nagato wanted to do when he was near Konoha.
"So that's it." Kisame nodded, looked at Kakashi and said, "Then, now it's two against one."
Itachi looked at Kakashi calmly and said, "This body of yours is not the original body."
It seems like a question, but in fact it is in an affirmative tone.
Kakashi snorted and said, "I really can't hide anything from you. Forget it, I'll let you go this time. Next time, I'll get rid of you, the traitor who betrayed the village."
After saying that, his body exploded and Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Kisame looked at the place where Kakashi disappeared in shock.
He didn't expect that the person he had been fighting with just now was actually a shadow clone.
"This is the method he always uses, using the shadow clone to involve him, and then the main body looks for an opportunity to carry out the assassination."
However, even the shadow clone has half of Kakashi's chakra. The speed and power of the technique are not much different from the original body. It is just that it cannot be attacked by too powerful attacks. If you don't know Kakashi well, you will always I thought that was the true body.
Itachi, who had worked with Kakashi before, knew how difficult it would be for Kakashi to use shadow clone tactics in battle.
"Okay, let's get out of here as soon as possible. There are still many masters in Konoha's ANBU. If we swarm them, even if we two join forces, we will be wiped out."
Especially the ANBU jounin at the squad leader level, everyone is the best among Konoha jounin.
Itachi, who once held the position of captain of the ANBU, knew very well how deep the water in Konoha's ANBU was.
Non-elite ninjas are not allowed to join, this is the ANBU rule.
"Listen to you. Anyway, the order given to me by the leader is just to fight off the investigators sent by Konoha."
Kisame shrugged indifferently, put the sword and Samehada behind him, and looked at the direction Kakashi left with a somewhat thoughtful look.
"Speaking of which, what is the chief doing here?"
Itachi asked before lifting his feet and leaving.
Kisame glanced at Itachi, shook his head and said, "I don't know very well. It seems to be to get something from a meteorite. It is said that it is a treasure left by the Sage of Six Paths."
Kisame's words made Itachi secretly wary.
The Samsara Eye...the treasure left by the Sage of Six Paths... Compared to the Kingdom of Demons, the threat from the Akatsuki organization is no less low.
So far, he has been unable to contact Nagato because the pressure the other party gave him was too strong.
This sense of oppression was even more depressing and profound than what Orochimaru had given him.
Not only that, but there is also Madara Uchiha who is moving in the dark, whose depth is unknown.
"The treasure of the Sage of Six Paths must be very powerful."
Itachi said again.
"Don't think too much, we just need to do our own thing well. I joined the organization to get shelter to avoid being chased by the ANBU of Kirigakure Village. As long as it is within our ability, we will do whatever the leader arranges." .It’s an equal deal.”
I'm afraid that the ultimate goal of the Akatsuki organization is not simple.
However, when you think of the identity of the ghost rebellion, Itachi cannot blame anything.
The "betrayal" with special tasks like him was originally a small number of special cases.
As a rebellious ghost, he couldn't ask him to contribute to the peace of the ninja.
"Speaking, what is the purpose of ghosts, what is the name of the kingdom of water?"
Itachi was curious about the matter.
Ghostly laughed and said, "In order to retaliate against Yakura. The guy killed my former boss Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost, and in a coup to destroy my blood mist ... Find the right opportunity, me Of course, to destroy the relationship between Ninjin Village and Daiming Mansion, and let Yakura's headache is also for the purpose of getting revenge for his companions who died in the past. "
"..."
Because of this boring reason, he used the convenience of his identity to assassinate the name of a country. In Itachi's view, this was very incredible.
Moreover, the blood mist is originally the infamous faction in Wuyin Village. Even if it is a foreign ninja like Itachi, he also knows that the bloody policy of the blood fog in the country of water is implemented in the country of water.
For example, let the graduates of the Ninja School killed each other two or two, and selected the winners of them to graduate to become a ninja.
It is not a pity to be destroyed by the blood mist.
"So what about you, what else to eliminate your family?"
Ghostly knew this problem, and he would stab the heart of Itachi, but he asked.
Itachi closed his eyes, recalling the bloody night that made himself unforgettable for life, and said in a bland tone: "In order to test your own amount and to get a stronger pupil power."
For the peace of the wood leaf, it is also for the peace of the tolerance, this is a sacrifice that must be made. Itachi added such words in his heart.
"I thought you were to raise the value of the wheel eye."
"Value?"
"Yeah, many forces in the ninja world will destroy the family after discovering the blood -limited family family, and deliberately leave the last person, making the blood relay limit in the black market auction, it becomes more valuable."
In many places, human beings in the limited world are regarded as monsters and slaughtered.
Some illegal merchants will also take the blood relay boundaries out of the auction.
Such darkness may occur in the dark corner in the ninja world at this moment.
"... I'm not so boring."
Itachi left this sentence and accelerated his footsteps.
"Don't be so anxious, once again, the dark parts of the wood leaf are not so fast."
However, even if Ghost said so, Itachi did not have plans to stop.
In desperation, ghosts had to speed up the speed, followed by Itachi, disappearing in the forest.
