Chapter 663 Undead and believers

"stop!"

At the exit of the forest, Chiyo, who was running at the front, sensed the strange aura ahead, and immediately stretched out his arms to stop the people behind him from stopping at the same time.

Naruto, who practiced celestial arts, has a superhuman perception ability. The pupils of a pair of eyes tend to be in the shape of the word "one". There is also a line of orange paint around the eyes, and his eyes are fixed on a big tree in front of him.

Without keeping Chiyo, Naruto and others waiting for a long time, a thin figure slowly walked out from behind the tree, and just stood in front of the road majestically, blocking the way of everyone.

Black bottom red cloud coat.

Long black hair tied into a single ponytail.

And the scarlet three-goal jade sharing sharing eye that cannot be ignored, as if cursed, reflecting a frightening icy color.

Uchiha Itachi.

"Who are you"

The ninjas from Konoha, including Naruto, all suddenly opened their eyes wide, and put on a vigilant fighting posture.

"This kid...Sharingan, and this face, is it the rumored extermination itachi?"

Chiyo also narrowed her cloudy and old eyes, as if thinking of something in a daze.

As the terminator of the Konoha Uchiha clan, when Itachi was active, Chiyo and other ninjas of the older generation, although they have already retired, are not ignorant of the outside world.

What's more, shortly after the Konoha Uchiha clan was wiped out, the war between Sand Yin and the Kingdom of Demons broke out.

At that time, she also represented Luo Sha, who was unable to govern, and handled the village's government affairs for a period of time.

Among them, the information about Itachi is naturally among the well-known ranks, and it is a dangerous traitor that needs strict attention.

"More than that, he, like Uchiha Ruri from the Oni Land, is the owner of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and his strength is unfathomable."

Tianzang took a deep breath.

"Since he appears here, it means that the enemy's lair is nearby."

Chiyo judged this based on Itachi's appearance.

We all do it together.

Tianzang formed seals with both hands, ready to fight.

"Captain Yamato, leave this battle to me alone!"

Naruto walked to the front of Tianzang and stopped Tianzang who rushed forward to fight.

"What?"

"Gara is nearby, we don't need to waste time here. Let me fight him alone, and you all go to rescue Gaara. By the way, I also have some things that I want to ask him."

Naruto clenched his fists tightly, not taking a step away from Itachi's body.

"But"

Tianzang hesitated.

It is too risky for Naruto to fight Itachi here alone.

"Among all the people here, only I can deal with him. I will quickly resolve the matter here and join you as soon as possible."

Naruto's green pupils were full of determination.

"Are you alone...? The young people of today can't make me disobey my old age. If that's the case, let's do what you ask, and let's rescue Gaara."

Compared to Tianzang who was hesitant, Chiyo simply agreed.

"Then, I'll leave it to you, Konoha boy."

Chiyo laughed in a light tone that didn't seem like an old man, then jumped forward and continued to run forward.

Tianzang saw this, so he took Hinoko, Sai and Nara Suzaku to follow.

Seeing Naruto and the others split into two groups, Itachi's Sharingan eyes flickered slightly, and just as his fingers moved slightly, a figure flashed in front of his eyes, and he swung his fist heavily at his face.

It is Naruto.

Facing Naruto's instant attack, it was almost invisible to the naked eye. For an ordinary ninja, under such a swift surprise attack, he would definitely receive a punch from the front.

But in Itachi's Sharingan observation, this speed is not enough for him to be unable to capture.

It was easy to wrap Naruto's fist with his palm, blocking the punch from the front.

So fast! Naruto was shocked by Itachi's skinny body, and his nerve response could keep up with his speed in sage mode.

Moreover, the strength is great!

After receiving his punch, Itachi's face remained calm, as if receiving such a heavy punch was just a common thing.

"Compared to a few years ago, it has indeed improved a lot, and it has also entered the realm of immortals that ordinary people cannot touch..."

Itachi finally spoke.

The voice was clear and cold, without the slightest emotion.

"However, it's pretty stupid of you to stay alone."

Following Itachi's voice, Naruto was in a trance.

Illusion!

He slapped violently, and when Naruto came back to his senses, Itachi's fist was reflected in his eyes.

boom!

Naruto turned sideways, blocked the arm in front of him, and was punched firmly by Itachi.

Although he couldn't feel the pain, itachi's elusive illusion cast a shadow over Naruto's heart.

In Naruto's body, Minato, who observed all of this, sighed helplessly. Naruto was indeed too big for this battle.

Itachi is fundamentally different from all the ninjas Naruto has faced in the past.

"What big talk is it just an illusion. In my opinion, Sasuke's illusion is much better than yours."

Naruto smiled on the surface.

"The arrogance generated by individual strength, thus ignoring the changes in the surrounding environment, looking at you now is like seeing yourself in the past..."

Itachi's shuriken slipped from his cuff and was caught between his fingers.

Then shake it hard.

These shurikens flew over like lightning.

But it is not a straight line, but a parabola.

"This level of aggression..."

Easily dodged the shuriken's attack, Naruto was about to attack, when there was a shuriken's impact behind him.

"What?"

The shurikens meeting behind Naruto, after a strong impact, immediately changed their flight trajectory, turned and shot towards Naruto's back.

Naruto didn't expect this at all, and couldn't even understand how Itachi managed to do this.

For a while, he was in a hurry to dodge the shuriken.

Itachi's figure flashed in front of Naruto, holding a kunai in his right hand, and stroked towards Naruto's neck.

The left hand is hidden in the cuff and begins to seal.

Naruto gritted his teeth, the opponent's offensive continued like a raging wave, and the timing was just right.

It seems that every step is demanding the most perfect state, and I don't allow my own fighting rhythm to have the slightest unexpected factor!

Nearly and narrowly escaped Kunai, but before he could get away, a scorching fireball spewed out of Itachi's mouth, and flew straight towards him.

Naruto rolled over in embarrassment, and on the newly changed clothes, traces of flames appeared again, covered with dust.

Naruto stood up from the ground, took a breath, and put away his contempt.

Taijutsu, ninjutsu, illusion, he couldn't find the slightest flaw in Itachi's body.

And the opponent's strength is more than that, the opponent can also perfectly connect these three abilities.

Naruto knew that with his current self, even if he entered the fairy mode, it would not be easy to defeat the opponent with physical skills.

It can even be said that it is impossible.

The strength of the opponent is not just as simple as sharing eyes.

"Since individuals can't have an effect on you, then use group tactics."

Naruto quickly wore a confident smile on his face, and made a knot gesture with both hands.

Shadow clone? Itachi's sharing sharing eyes narrowed, Naruto is so difficult to deal with, if there are more than a dozen or dozens of them, he will soon fall into a disadvantage.

Do you want to give up here?

After all, Naruto's idea of saving Gaara coincides with his own.

However, Bai Jue must be watching nearby.

If I just give up here, will I be constrained in my subsequent actions... After all, the Kisame on the other side must be fighting with all my strength, desperately resisting the enemy's advance.

If only you suddenly give up, it will be too conspicuous.

Just as he was about to step forward to stop Naruto, Itachi was startled.

Body...can't move.

Something pulled his body from behind.

"It seems that my old lady's craftsmanship is still some time away from retirement."

Chiyo's lively voice that resembled a young man sounded behind Itachi.

The other party stood not far behind Itachi, ten fingers connected to Chakras, attached to Itachi's limbs, controlling its body.

"Grandma Chiyo!?"

Naruto, who was about to perform the shadow clone technique, was dumbfounded.

"I see, did you leave on purpose just now?"

Itachi's face darkened. This situation was indeed beyond his expectation.

"but"

In Chiyo's astonished expression, the surrounding flat ground immediately rolled up water.

Fingers can move despite restraint of limbs.

Unsealing the seal with one hand is not difficult for Itachi.

"Water Escape Water Fang Bullet!"

The tornado-like water flow hit the chakras attached to the back.

Only hearing the sound of the silk thread pulling, Itachi felt a burst of relief and regained his freedom.

Without thinking too much, Itachi turned around and rushed towards Chiyo.

Chiyo panicked and retreated back.

Snapped!

Not only Naruto, but Itachi also froze slightly.

His full speed blow was blocked.

Chiyo's old and outrageous withered palm also stretched out like lightning, firmly catching Itachi's attack.

The panicked color on Chiyo's face disappeared immediately, and she blinked like an urchin.

"I lied to you to play."

Naruto let go of his hanging heart, but suddenly became inexplicably angry, and had the urge to beat him up.

"Boy, your physical skills are very good. It is really rare for you to have such excellent physical skills at your age."

Although she is old, Chiyo can feel Itachi's excellent physical skills and combat awareness.

Itachi didn't answer, but just focused on the battle in front of him. It's just that compared to his physical skills, it's not easy for an old woman to have such physical strength. Using traditional taijutsu to get close to the puppeteer himself, defeating the opponent, and putting it on Chiyo's body obviously has little effect. Faintly, Itachi even felt that his attack pattern had been seen through by the opponent.

Just when he was about to distance himself from Chiyo and think about his next battle strategy

boom!

Consciousness plunged into darkness.

A ray of light pierced through his temple.

His body swayed, and he fell down straight.

Naruto and Chiyo were stunned, and then looked in the direction of the bullet.

Aya, holding a sniper rifle in her hand, led Xiang Rin and Yamazaki Hisashi to gallop over.

It was Cai who fired the bullet and killed Itachi with one blow.

Because of Chiyo and Naruto's successful containment, it is the perfect time for him to launch a sniper attack.

"Hey, what are you doing, this is important"

Naruto rushed up, angrily grabbed Cai by the collar, and questioned loudly.

"Just a stand-in."

Cai replied in a neutral tone.

If it's genuine, it's even better. He added another sentence in his heart.

However, he doesn't think the Uchiha Itachi who appeared here is genuine.

Although it has the same speed, strength, reaction ability and fighting consciousness as the main body, there is too little chakra in the body.

A normal Uchiha ninja, or a Uchiha ninja who has opened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, the amount of chakra cannot be so low.

Therefore, he can basically determine that the Itachi that appeared here is a fake just like the 'shark'.

"Substitute?"

Naruto was taken aback for a moment, and looked back.

Found Itachi lying on the ground, and somehow turned into a strange ninja.

On the forehead of the other party, there is a ninja forehead of Sayin.

"He is Yura..."

Chiyo saw the true face of the corpse, opened his eyes wide, and revealed the identity of the corpse during his lifetime.

"Yura? That sneak attack on Uncle Kazekage..." Naruto let go of Sai's collar, blinked his eyes, and said with a puzzled face, "What's going on? Why would Itachi..."

"That's the thing. The enemy uses forbidden techniques to use living people as the carrier to act in the outside world. Once they die, they will become the original form of the carrier."

Cai explained based on the information she inferred.

"It's amazing ninjutsu..."

Chiyo just exclaimed, and said no more.

Naruto lowered his head in frustration. He wanted to know more from Itachi, but he didn't expect that it would be a fake.

"The guy who can target the tail beast, don't be surprised to use any strange ninjutsu. Next, the enemy's blocking means have been removed, let's go there quickly."

Cai suggested.

"good."

Although Chiyo guessed that the purpose of the three of them may not be to rescue Jinchuriki, but to deal with such a dangerous organization, the strength of the Demon Country team is also indispensable.

What a formidable young man! Chiyo's eyes lingered on Cai's body, and then moved away calmly.

Naruto also packed up his lost mood and followed suit.

Turn your gaze.

Just a trance, Itachi's consciousness returned to the space where the tailed beast was sealed.

For some reason, Itachi always felt that the surrounding atmosphere seemed a bit strange.

Kisame even turned his face to the side, looking a bit afraid to see people.

The weird atmosphere and weird behavior made Itachi baffled.

However, he is not a talkative person. Although he found it strange, he didn't ask much about the current situation.

"How about it, the strength of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Scorpion asked bluntly.

He hoped to hear Itachi's evaluation.

Itachi glanced at him, and replied: "In a one-on-one situation, only the leader can deal with him."

In the previous battle, Naruto basically only used Taijutsu.

According to Itachi's knowledge, Taijutsu seems to be Naruto's worst ability.

The opponent is good at the technique of multiple shadow clones, which uses group attacks as the ultimate means.

Once the opponent is in sage mode and uses this ninjutsu, he must use Kaleidoscope Sharingan to have a chance of winning.

Itachi's words attracted everyone's attention.

Even Nagato turned his head and glanced at Itachi's face, as if he was inquiring whether the other party's words were true or not.

"Scaremongering?"

Scorpion narrowed his eyes, showing a dangerous look.

"No, I'm just telling the truth, his chakra is very strong, if you don't deal with it carefully, you may die in his hands."

Itachi closed his eyes after saying this, and ignored the outside world.

"snort!"

Scorpion admits that Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is very powerful, but his own art will never lose!

Moreover, the real battle is not determined by the amount of chakra.

"Is there a quarrel? Although I don't want to disturb everyone, but now trouble is coming. The enemy will arrive in about five minutes."

Bai Jue's laughter interrupted the dispute between Xie and Itachi.

Nagato said: "Even if you use the elephant turn technique again, it seems too late."

It will take more than an hour to completely seal the tail.

The enemy will arrive in five minutes, and the time is completely too late.

"Then what should we do, give up the last part of one tail chakra?"

Oshemaru asked with great interest.

"No, it's not that time yet. Scorpion, Didara, you go out to meet the enemy. If my guess is correct, Hiduan should have almost arrived here."

Nagato gave the order.

Scorpion and Didara looked at each other, knowing that Nagato planned to let them take the initiative in exchange for the time to seal Yiwei.

However, the two of them didn't care about this. They put down the seal gesture, interrupted the sealing ceremony, and jumped off the fingers of the heretic golem, raising a cloud of dust.

Didara took out Bingliang Pills and took them to restore physical strength and chakra.

Not only that, the clay in the ninja bag has also been replenished, which is barely enough to cope with a battle.

Scorpion just silently took out the scroll, spread it out, and on the spread scroll, a striking 'three' appeared.

boom!

The face was slightly damaged, and the third Kazekage, who was too late to repair, appeared beside Scorpion.

The chakras with five fingers on the right hand of the scorpion is connected to the body of the third Kazekage, about two or three meters away from the ground, quietly suspended in the air.

Scorpion and Didara stepped forward and came to the entrance of the cave, where a huge stone blocked the entrance.

Scorpion pressed the boulder with his left hand, and the boulder immediately buzzed upwards, revealing the outside world.

Just as Scorpion and Didara were about to go out, Nagato's voice came from behind:

"Be careful, Scorpion, Didara, the strength of the enemy is not simple."

Scorpion snorted lightly, disapproving of Nagato's prompt.

No matter what kind of enemy he faces, the eternal art he holds firm will never be defeated.

"Boss, you can look forward to the art of me and Brother Scorpion. Yes."

Didara responded very easily, spit out a piece of clay from the mouth of the only remaining right palm, and threw it towards the ground. A huge clay white bird appeared from the smoke. Didara jumped up and landed steadily.

Shiratori flew outside with Didara on his back, and disappeared with the figure of Scorpion.

hum boom hum boom.

The boulder moved downward, re-blocking the airtight entrance of the cave.

It always feels like this is their last farewell ceremony.

I don't know who said this very cold joke.

"Ghost, don't make fun of your companion's life. This is precious time that Scorpion and Didara risked their lives to buy for us, and it must not be wasted."

Nagato lectured Kisame in a stern tone.

"Yes, Chief."

There was an inexplicable meaning in Kisame's eyes, he stopped talking, and focused on sealing the one-tailed chakra.

A group of figures leaped on the path in the forest.

Later, Aya, Naruto, and Chiyo, who caught up, caught up with Tianzang, who was acting ahead, Hinoko, Sai, and Nara Suzaku, and all of them merged together.

Just as the group of people was about to sprint to the enemy's lair in one go, a human silhouette appeared in the sky and quickly landed.

It was Yamazaki Hisao who was using flying ninja tools to explore the road nearby.

He put away the flying ninja, took a deep breath, and brought back a crucial piece of information:

"Northeast, about ten kilometers away, there is a person wearing a red cloud with a black background, rushing towards us."

"You name one?"

Chiyo caught the point of the question.

"Yes, there is only one person. According to the information collected from our ghost country, the other party's name is Hidan, who was born in Tangnin Village, and is related to the evil **** sect that was destroyed in the past."

Hisaki Yamazaki said this important information.

Chiyo and Tianzang glanced at each other, they were extremely unfamiliar with the name 'Hidan'.

Tang Ninja Village is just a little-known small Ninja Village.

As for the so-called evil **** religion, it seems that it is only famous in Tango Country.

Out of the territory of the country of soup, there is no soil for the survival of this church.

However, to be able to be absorbed into this organization, this cultist named 'Fei Duan' is probably not an ordinary ninja.

"Has it been discovered? It seems that the enemy also has excellent scouts. They sent people over to stop us before, and they found our position with great precision."

Chiyo pondered.

"I think that since the kingdom of ghosts has known the other party's identity information, why not let this ninja called 'Hidan' be dealt with by you? We Konoha and Sand Yin are responsible for the main enemies here."

Tianzang stood up and started grouping.

Naruto felt that the atmosphere here was not right, but he couldn't tell what was strange for a while.

Hinoko and Saii tacitly sided with Tianzang and Chiyo, silently expressing their support.

Xiang Ling clicked her lips unhappily, and just about to say something, Cai said first: "Yes, the cultists here, let the three of us handle it."

Saying that, Cai turned around and ran towards the northeast direction without delay.

Xiang Rin and Yamazaki saw Cai's actions, and also realized that it was a waste of time to argue with Konoha and Sand Yin here, so they turned around and followed Cai, and ran away together. Before leaving, Xiang Rin gave Konoha and Sand Yin a ninja a vicious look, as if saying 'remember it'.

Tianzang didn't take Xiang Rin's staring threats seriously at all.

It is really uneasy to act together with the ninjas from the kingdom of ghosts.

The next step is an important rescue operation. It is the best way to send them away from here before the purpose of the ghost country team is uncertain.

"What, we obviously found this place by relying on us."

On the way to the northeast direction, Xianglin muttered sullenly.

I feel very depressed about Konoha's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"No way, our purpose is not clear, and they are also aware of this, so they are on guard against us. However, this is not bad. I didn't intend to rescue Yiwei at first. It doesn't matter which side we take care of."

Cai's tone could not hear any joy or anger.

He saw the vigilance of Konoha and Sand Yin, and he naturally understood some of their little thoughts.

If it were him, he would also adopt a similar strategy to distract people with ulterior motives in key actions.

"Aren't you angry?"

"Of course I'm angry, but anger can't solve the problem. In order to complete this task, I can endure their behavior."

Cai's eyes showed no emotion, like mechanical parts working precisely.

Don't pay attention to things other than work.

"very scary."

"What?"

"No, I'm talking about, how to deal with this cultist next? According to intelligence, it seems that he is an immortal guy."

Xiang Rin cleverly changed the topic.

"Old rules, I am here to ambush, you go to recover each other's body. Immortal ninja, Dad should like this type of experimental material very much."

Cai stopped, opened her eyes, the meridians around the eyes suddenly protruded fiercely, stood skillfully on a thick tree branch, set up the sniper rifle she took from behind, and pointed the muzzle straight ahead.

"Then you have to be careful not to smash the target's head."

Karin added this sentence, and moved forward with Yamazaki Hisahisa.

There is only one person left in the forest.

The cold north wind is howling.

Cai took a deep breath, took a breath of cold air, then held her breath, and merged with the whole world, regardless of each other.

Finger is placed on the trigger of the sniper rifle, and Baiyan has also turned on the perspective and long-sighted capabilities. Compared with the so-called magnification mirror, it can more accurately lock the enemy's position, and ignore all obstacles on the road.

Xiang Rin and Yamazaki Hisahi were approaching the area where the 'target' was located. At the same time, the cultist Hidan, who was unaware of the sniping in the distance, also entered the observation range of Baiyan.

Measure the distance between yourself and the target, predict the moving speed of the target, and where the next step will be.

It's now! Cai's eyes released a cold and stern light, and he was about to press the trigger.

His neck felt cold.

A snake-like object flowed quickly around his neck and tightened quickly.

Fluffy and tough!

Cai felt that it was suddenly difficult to breathe.

"Don't even think about hurting the leader, just suffocate to death like this."

A laughing and happy voice sounded from behind.

A neutral boy with brown skin and silver hair appeared behind Cai silently.

It was Yixue.

boom!

Cai's whole body immediately gushed chakra, shattering the soft object wrapped around her neck and falling to the ground.

Yuexue's eyes immediately showed surprise, she stepped back, and jumped off the tree to avoid being hit by Cai's chakra.

"You actually broke free from my ninjutsu..."

Yixue's eyes revealed a hint of caution and solemnity.

"I should be the one who should be surprised. I used the lurking technique to directly avoid my white eyes. Your ability must be the blood succession limit."

Cai bowed her head and swept away, and those soft and tough objects had been scattered all over the ground, it was sticky and strong tough mud.

Normal latent ninjutsu, it is impossible to avoid the perception of white eyes.

But if it is the latent ninjutsu of the blood successor limit type, it is another matter.

Each blood inheritance limit is a unique power.

"Well, I use the mud tunnel, which is a combination of earth tunnel and water tunnel. Therefore, the mud I make has the hardness and thickness of soil, but also the flow and flexibility of water...Even Mr. Bai Jue, it is difficult to find me who is hiding."

Yixue nodded generously and admitted, showing a cheerful and lively smile.

"Look, like this, I can do it easily."

The ground under his feet began to shake, as if shaking in the literal sense.

Cai remembered the water bed she played with when she was a child. The earth began to soften, shake, and twist like a wave of water.

While staring blankly, Yixue's chakra swelled rapidly.

I saw him make a seal, and the undulating earth began to spew a lot of mud.

The gushing mud formed human-like clay dolls, appearing in all directions, dozens of them.

Even on some of the surrounding trees, after being sprayed with mud, this kind of clay doll appeared, hanging upside down, staring at Cai.

"Looking at it this way, it feels like I saw a lot of local generals."

Cai complained about this sentence.

No way, the image of the clay doll is too much like General Earth.

However, they are only similar in appearance.

In terms of strength, this kind of clay doll is definitely not as good as General Tu.

After all, if dozens of local generals really swarmed up, Cai felt that giving up the fight might make her die easier.

"Go."

Following Yixue's order, dozens of clay puppets attacked Cai who was standing in the center of the encirclement.
