Chapter 280 Five Shadows (6K)

The next day, the joint team gathered at the entrance of the village.

The seventh and third squads totaled seven people, with the root leader acting as the nominal captain and Hatake Kakashi as the commander, and began to march towards the northwest border of the Land of Fire.

The auxiliary team responsible for intelligence communication and exploration had dispersed as early as yesterday evening.

"The Godaime told me that we must do our best in this mission, but there is no need to go all out. It is just a preliminary contact with members of the Akatsuki organization, and it is not to the point of starting a war. Remember not to be impulsive, Kai."

Kakashi looked at Metkai and said, after all, the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki are outsiders, and Konoha is not willing to sacrifice its own important heritage to maintain the peace of other ninja villages. The upper limit of the final state of the Eight Gate Dungeon is still unknown. At the same time, as a friend, he doesn't want that day to come.

"Don't worry, my youth will not be burned out before the new green leaves have grown." Metkai grinned.

"Teacher Kai, your youth is still so dazzling!"

Rock Lee hugged Metkay with tears in his eyes.

"It turns out that the thick eyebrows have healed, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said.

"Tsunade-sama is an authority in medical ninjutsu. She may not have been optimistic about Xiao Li's recovery in the past, but even so, Xiao Li never gave up on recovery training. What he is today is the result of his hard work." Cassie replied that when Rock Lee fought with Kimimaro a few years ago, he opened the sixth gate and defeated the enemy at the expense of forcibly overdrawing his body's potential. Now he can perform his tasks normally, but the future is no longer bright.

"10 minutes late for war."

Next to the big tree not far away, the man in black robe with bandages on his eyes crossed his arms and said coldly: "She can already pack the coffin and prepare to die."

No ninja in the entire Roots dared to waste 10 minutes of his time.

"Tsunade-sama is leading Sakura to prepare the antidote. The intelligence mentioned that one of the two members of the Akatsuki organization has the ability to poison and puppet. Sakura should have been busy since returning last night, and the concept of time has inevitably become a little bit... Weak." Kakashi excused himself.

"Okaku, you are too urgent. You were so strong three years ago, but I will not give up the position of Hokage to you." Naruto said with a smile.

Jiang Yuan shook his head when he heard this. Except for the ten minutes of office time in which he grasped the overall direction of the roots, the rest of his day was all about enjoyment. Swordsmanship, control, thunder escape ninjutsu, etc., all aspects needed to be continuously strengthened.

Finally, Haruno Sakura hurried over, accompanied by a cat-masked ANBU. The person was not very tall, with long black hair hanging down around her waist. Judging from the brown headband, she was most likely a human female.

"Everyone, I'm sorry I'm late." Haruno Sakura panted slightly: "This is the ANBU assistant sent by Hokage-sama. She is responsible for assisting the team in communicating with everyone."

The cat ANBU nodded.

Kakashi frowned, because this guy had no memory at all, which was understandable but rare. People in the ANBU lurked in the shadows, but he was very experienced and knew a lot of things that he shouldn't know.

"Warrant." Kakashi said seriously.

The Neko Anbu handed over a mutilated kunai. The tooth marks on the edge were quite complicated, but different meanings could be formed based on the subtle differences. This was the way the Anbu used it to prove their identity and pass on secret orders.

The chakra activated the tooth marks, and the light blue fluorescence flashed. Kakashi was at a loss for a moment when he held the edge, and then said, "It turns out to be Cat Armor, so I'll leave the contact for this mission to you." "

"The target is northwest, please set off as soon as possible." Cat A said, his voice was cold.

"Jiang Yuan" stepped forward from the side of the tree and united the team to set off.

After the group left, Bai Zee and Black Zee poked their heads from the ground.

"The era of her existence was the early Warring States Period. You shouldn't know where the other party was sealed."

Uchiha Obito also came to the scene through Kamui. Black Zetsu was Uchiha Madara's creation. He was no more than a hundred years old and the time did not match. He discovered this keenly.

"Madara-sama is the leader of the Uchiha clan, and no secret can escape his exploration. Madara-sama once said personally that during the decisive battle with Senju Hashirama, he even considered unblocking him and asking for help, but for some reasons , her hatred is completely out of control, but it is extremely consistent with the philosophy of the Akatsuki organization." Black replied calmly.

Uchiha Obito touched his heart and frowned. He always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that he had to stop and think about it. This issue was urgent.

"I'm going to spy on the magic of the three holy places."

"Your body is imperfect, and it's difficult to integrate natural energy after losing that eye."

"You don't need to worry about it. Let Itachi and Kisame take action quickly. The four-tailed Jinchuuriki is restrained by Kisame. Don't waste too much time. Ohnoki has already gone over there. In addition, notify Hidan and Angle to meet up as soon as possible."

Uchiha Obito used Kamui to disappear after speaking.

Black Zetsu was silent for a long time. More than ten years have passed, and the power of the genjutsu left by Madara has begun to spread. This is inevitable. Rather, it is quite remarkable that a genjutsu can maintain most of its effectiveness for more than ten years. , the final day is coming, and some flaws cannot change the outcome.

According to Obito's idea, they searched for someone's exclusive bond for several years, but found that none of them were suitable. The target was reclusive. He was a pervert who enjoyed training and increasing his strength. He had no tendency to seek a partner at all, so We can only settle for the next best thing and use strength to solve the problem.

Uchiha Hikari is a figure in the early Warring States Period. After losing his parents, he awakened the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique - Eight Thousand Spears. He can remotely control the subject's soul and chakra through inscribed marks. The former is equivalent to cognitive modification in a sense, while the latter In a large-scale war, there is no disadvantage, and it is a huge increase for one's own side.

After experiencing a miserable life controlled by her tribe and sealed by hostile ninjas, she harbored a strong hatred for all of this.

It is worth mentioning that it is the Senju clan who leads the hostile ninjas.

……

The nine members of the joint team jumped through the forest. Normally, it would take three days to reach the northern part of the Fire Country, but under full load, the time was shortened to one day.

Jiang Yuan was at the back of the team, and the person in charge of leading the way was ANBU liaison Mao A. He was wary of this guy who had omitted information in the original world line. He knew the ANBU ninjas and their corresponding numbers better than Tsunade.

In view of the blood mark of the Senju clan, the Anbu basically turned a blind eye to someone's infiltration. After all, the sixth generation Hokage was familiar with the future personal guards, which was normal, and even actively cooperated in order to avoid unemployment or even liquidation. Most members.

Cat A was originally a strong man rather than a young girl. Kakashi noticed the abnormality at the first time. Considering the other party's quality, he did not communicate with the co-captain for a long time, which undoubtedly showed that the situation was serious.

At noon, Kakashi decided to rest by the river. Further ahead was the border, where a battle could break out at any time, and the fatigue caused by the full load must be recovered.

A cordon was set up around the temporary camp every day. Kunai and detonating charms were not valuable items to her, and the reserves could not be used up at all.

Haruno Sakura went out to collect wild vegetables and berries. As the successor of Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, she could at least ensure the food safety of the team members. The cat armor was good at sensing and was responsible for hunting food.

Hyuga Neji opened his Byakugan and carefully checked the surrounding environment. Metkai and Rock Lee were doing push-ups desperately because of their high energy.

Kakashi and Naruto chopped wood and started a fire. Since there was no need to cover the traces of the team, green smoke quickly rose.

As for Jiang Yuan, he watched the two green figures standing upside down in front of him with no expression on his face.

"Okra, you must have a strong physique." Metkai said while doing push-ups.

"Average." Jiang Yuan refined his natural energy and replied. He was not modest. The second stage of the reanimation technique has been completed. His physical strength is comparable to that of the third generation Raikage who does not use the Thunder Release Ninja Taijutsu, but it is different from the real body of the main world. It seems a bit average in comparison, estimated to be around 20 Beijing, which is equivalent to a certain top-level third-generation species that is flourishing.

"Average?" Metkai smiled, "In Konoha, I have more say than Kakashi in terms of physical skills. If you can seize the fragmented time to put pressure on the body through the mind, you will definitely become stronger. .”

"This is the power of belief." Rock Lee added. Due to the weight on his hands and feet, his forehead was already slightly sweaty at the moment.

"If you can't do [-] push-ups, you have to jump rope [-] times. If you can't achieve the goal of skipping, you have to walk [-] meters upside down, and finally activate all the potential in the body." Matkai is very much looking forward to Okra joining, and the opponent's physical fitness It contains vitality that a strong physical practitioner cannot ignore, "When the time is right, I can teach you the Eight Gates of Dunjia, and you will definitely be able to carry it forward."

Locke Li did not have any negative emotions after hearing this, but silently increased his training intensity.

"Why can't I achieve the goal I set?" Jiang Yuan asked calmly, "Always come close, and I think I can make up for it in other ways after failure. This mentality is very dangerous."

"Of course it's to go beyond the limit and achieve success." Metkai became serious. This was a collision of youth.

"I prefer to get my wish."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and poured all the refined magic energy into the Yin Seal. This was the reason why he didn't exercise with the other party in the first place. The two sides had different ideas, and there was no superiority or inferiority. They were just not suitable.

Metkai sighed and continued his high-intensity exercise.

Not long after, several people who had gone out came back one after another. Lunch was a thick stew of berries and wild vegetables, as well as wood-fired wild boar, and soldiers' grain balls as the staple food.

Cat A divided the wild boar soaked in oil and spices, and then distributed the portions one by one. She was the one who caught the prey, and everyone had no objection. "Here." Cat A brought a piece of pork shank and handed it to someone sitting under the tree.

"You should know that I don't have good ANBU senses."

"Then you have to eat." Cat A was puzzled by this guy's refusal to eat. During the Warring States Period, the main reason for disputes between ninja families was population and land. Only large ninja clans and nobles could eat enough. There were not as many types of food as today. condiment.

Jiang Yuan pointed to the ninja bag on his waist, which contained special military grain pills made of fine meat powder.

After opening it, the rich and touching aroma of meat wafted out. Cat A was silent, then turned and left without looking back. It was obvious that this tentative contact failed.

According to the instructions of the masked man named Madara, the target has the strength to surpass that of the Senju Clan leader in the early Warring States Period. This is a serious obstacle on the road to making the world feel pain, and must be done with caution.

Half an hour later, the joint team set off.

Halfway through, Cat A used reverse necromancy to summon a black cat with a scroll in its mouth. After getting the information, she said, "An auxiliary team disappeared near the Naraku River and was destroyed almost instantly. It was initially determined that it was Akatsuki. As the organization has done, you may have to speed up next.”

……

On the bank of Nailuo River, inside the cliff cave.

The five-tailed Jinchuuriki lay in the middle of the cave, his body black and purple. He stared straight up. Although he did not lose consciousness, his body fell into complete rigidity. Even the five-tailed King Mu in his body was exhausted due to the intense consumption of chakra. And with a gloomy expression, the magnetic escape of the third-generation Kazekage puppet can change the trajectory of the tailed beast jade through repulsive force, which is beyond Han's expectation.

The Samsara Eye's magic lantern body technique allows all members of the Akatsuki organization to gather here, and the four of Scorpion, Deidara, Angle, and Hidan are present in their true form.

"The four-tailed jinchūriki have been captured, and Onoki is searching for us. Mr. Itachi's suggestion is to avoid it temporarily. The enemy's dust release blood successor has a very strong attack power." Kisame Mikigaki said.

Leader Payne nodded, "Your mission is to delay the Third Iwakage as much as possible. Let Itachi decide how to do it specifically. The real focus is on the Naraku River. This is the first time since the establishment of the Akatsuki organization that multiple teams have acted together. The goal - Hunting Senju Okra and plundering the two tailed beasts in his body, he defeated Itachi three years ago and should be stronger now. To be on the safe side, five shadow-level warriors wanted to attack together. Deidara lured the other guys away. "

"Five?" Deidara laughed inexplicably, "Are you taking it too seriously? This is enough power to attack a large ninja village. After success, we will probably have to stand in the sun."

"Senju Okra has great potential. This lineup is not excessive. Kakuzu, Hidan, and Scorpion, you will definitely kill him on the banks of the Naraku River. If I can lock Nanao in advance, I will go back to help after finishing it. The three He probably won’t be able to reach that level in [-] years, but if it’s later than that, he might not be able to,” Payne said.

Nanao Shigeaki can fly and has scale powder that can affect vision. To some extent, he is the most troublesome target to capture.

Hidan pierced more than a dozen long black sticks into the body of the five-tailed Jinchūriki, and the waves of thoughts from the Rinnegan were injected into the stiff body. Under normal circumstances, the caster and the puppet cannot be too far apart, but there are exceptions, and that is hiding underground. A heretic golem that acts as a signal repeater.

"Get ready, they're coming."

……

By the Narok River.

The figures of the nine members of the joint team fell on the beach, and strong chakra fluctuations rose in the cliff in front of them that could not be ignored.

"Iwagakure doesn't even care about its own affairs?" Kakashi said helplessly: "They are all dead anyway."

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the cliff exploded, revealing a huge cave inside. Hundreds of puppets took off, and a white bird rushed into the sky. The red chakra coat on the unconscious person's back had not faded.

A trace of confusion flashed in Kakashi's eyes, and he said: "The large force will rescue the Jinchuuriki, leaving two people here to deal with the enemy's companions. Okra, you are stronger, please pay attention to safety. Cat A, you cooperate with him, there is a problem." Contact us anytime.”

After saying that, Kakashi took the lead in the direction of Shiratori, followed closely by Naruto. Metkai felt something was wrong, but after seeing the two people's figures walking away quickly, he followed him, and others also followed. action.

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows. In the immortal mode's perception, the aura on the bird's back was probably just part of the five tails' chakra, which meant that his prey was still here.

"You two, please introduce yourselves. My name is Scorpion. I came from Sunagakure Village before becoming a rebel ninja. Today I plan to take..."

Jiang Yuan turned around and kicked her, missing the hand that Mao Jia secretly stretched out, and accurately hit her heart. The pale white air wave spread out, and a black shadow flew straight out, upstream along the Naruo River, and finally exploded. A water column of more than ten meters high arose.

scorpion:"……"

Why are you wasting your emotions here with him?
The real Han walked out of the cave, with black chakra receivers covering his body. Nagato detached a part of his mind and temporarily took over the body.

On the other side, the cat armor descended to the river again, and the Mangekyou Sharingan rotated rapidly. At this time, she had taken off her mask, and her face was exquisite with a hint of coldness. Even if she did not open the Sharingan, she could roughly guess her Uchiha. The identity of the clan, just in terms of external appearance, is very standard.

"Not bad." Han said, his tone containing the commendation of being the leader of the organization.

"If it weren't for Susanoo, I would be dead." Uchiha Hikari said calmly, but her eyes were fixed on the enemy solemnly. That direct kick seemed to take her back to the Warring States Period, and the smell of blood and fire filled her nose again.

"This world is just a false illusion."

Amaterasu, activate.

Black flames burned out of thin air, but were blocked by the Thunder Armor that penetrated the body. Amaterasu and the Thunder Chakra fell to the ground together.

Jiang Yuan said calmly: "Don't come up with such tricks that can't kill people. There are only three of them. Are you looking down on me?"

"I'll go first, I really deserve a beating." Xie said.

Hundreds of puppets came together, and in an instant it seemed that even the light was blocked. Uchiha Hikari leaned down and rushed forward from the side, and the Amaterasu Eye Technique with added earth life turned into a long sword in his hand.

Han directly entered the half-tailed beast state, and the yin and yang merged to form a black sphere. The fluctuations of the tailed beast jade made the surroundings fall into silence. Nagato, as the controller, increased the power of the attack to the maximum. In a sense, what the other party said Yes, if there are only three people, Senju Okra will not use the Flying Thunder God to run away before the battle becomes clear. After all, after today, the five tails will change owners, and the difficulty of hunting will increase in the future.

Jiang Yuan held the Arashi Kunai, and the sharp power spread on the edge of the blade. Facing the hundreds of puppets that came at him, the sword light bloomed frequently in the intensive attacks. His whole body seemed to have turned into an invisible shadow. He shuttled between various weapons and cut the puppet core wantonly, not a single attack could hit.

As the number of puppets decreased rapidly, Scorpion's operations became more and more precise, but the battle situation did not change at all. The puppets were damaged at almost the same speed as before, and he was completely unable to test the enemy's upper limit.

A sword was swung in a Z-shape, and the cores of the five puppets were cut off at the same time. Jiang Yuan turned his head to avoid the stab of the poisonous spear, and used his backhand to completely smash the attacker with the kunai handle. The huge force was poured out, and the impact was A long ravine was left on the ground, and the wind pressure caused the forest on the other side of the river to collapse.

In just a few seconds since the war started, most of the hundreds of puppets were destroyed. Even the Red Sand Scorpion felt a little incredible at this time. It was not a direct crushing by a powerful attack. The enemy easily defeated the enemy who had destroyed a country in the past using only simple skills. The puppet army, and he could clearly detect that that guy's swordsmanship was gradually becoming more and more perfect, and there were actually signs of evolving to a higher level.

In an instant, the condensed tailed beast jade attacked. Jiang Yuan swept around with his blade, then released the kunai and closed his fist to the side, punching out. The Naraku River behind him surged, and an unprecedented giant water dragon bomb was launched. Hitting the tailed beast head-on, the water dragon's size was almost as high as the real tailed beast thanks to the blessing of abyss-like chakra.

The two sides collided, and a dazzling light rose.

Uchiha Hikaru protected himself with the first stage of Susanoo, and rushed into the aftermath with the Blade of Amaterasu. Intelligence within the organization showed that only Amaterasu had fatally wounded Senju Okra.

Jiang Yuan reached out sideways and roughly broke through Susanoo's defense. He grabbed the opponent's wrist and twisted it hard. Uchiha Hikari couldn't help but groan. She was about to suppress the pain and raised her eyes to release Tsuyomi, but she was The second direct kick sent him flying, his arm was completely broken, and blood gushed out.

After the light dissipated, Han stopped Scorpion's further movement, and saw Uchiha Hikaru staggering up in half of the cliff where debris was piled up, an unusually twisted smile appeared on his face, and the wild laughter unique to the Uchiha clan rang out.

After the transplantation of ancient secret techniques, she has three pupil techniques, namely Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi, and Eight Thousand Spears with their own earth life. Only the last one was born from herself and has the ability to control the soul and chakra of the person who is engraved with the mark. Ability.

In other words, when the two sides come into physical contact, the battle has already been decided. As the mark is engraved, the enemy becomes a puppet. The loss of an arm is harmless. Even the clone technique cannot change the outcome.

Suddenly, Uchiha Hikari's smile froze on his face.

In the perception of the Eight Thousand Spear Eyes Technique, Thousand Hands Okra is like an empty shell like a walking corpse. The soul exists, but it is as if it is hanging in the sky far away. There is a distance barrier between the two that can never be touched.

"It turns out to be a thinking ability."

The body of "Jiang Yuan" turned into wood. At the meeting point for the joint team's departure at the entrance of Konoha Village, the real body walked out of the tree that he relied on during the rest the day before. Then he came to the Naraku River through the Flying Thunder God and leaned over to pick up the wooden clone that had just been used. of kunai.

The illusion works on the external senses, so it is effective on the consciousness projection body, but the Eight Thousand Spears directly affects the soul. I'm sorry, but his soul is far away. If the opponent's ability can cross this distance, then even the Ten-Tails Now, he has to grab it too.

"It seems that something went wrong in the most critical part of the plan."

Han waved, and both Hidan and Kakudu appeared from the cliff. The current situation was completely passive. They could only see if the target was greedy enough. They couldn't keep the Flying Thunder God.

 Male shovel, come quickly.
