Chapter 151 Black Mud (Subscription Request)

"After various commercial brands settled in the Land of Fire, Konoha is now a mixed bag. Although our dress is a bit strange, it is not strange compared to those people from the Land of Wind. I didn't expect that we were still targeted so easily."

In the field of vision of the two, the buildings on both sides were thrown back quickly.

While rushing forward and chasing Uzumaki Naruto, Kisame said with some emotion, "It was not so troublesome when we sneaked into the Rock Shadow Village and the Hidden Mist Village before, and we were not even discovered."

"I can only say that it is worthy of being the head of the five villages?"

He was targeted as soon as he entered the village. If he hadn't happened to meet Uzumaki Naruto, he might not have discovered that he was being followed.

"You worry too much. Konoha's combat power is not as strong as before. There is no gap between them and other ninja villages."

Although they invaded Konoha's headquarters and were discovered, Uchiha Itachi's face was always calm, "The reason why they were able to detect us so quickly is entirely because Konoha's Third Hokage died recently."

The Land of Fire was once the leader of the five major countries, and Konoha was also the first in military combat power among the five major ninja villages.

But recently, Konoha was invaded by a small ninja village, and even the head of the village died in the process of resistance.

This kind of thing is definitely a shame in Konoha's history.

The ninjas responsible for guarding the village entrance that night were held accountable one by one, and after that, Konoha entered an unprecedented period of vigilance.

Not only were the people in the Anbu on guard in the village, but even the task system within the village had many more patrol protection tasks, and the rewards were paid by the village.

He investigated this matter very clearly, or in other words, he investigated any intelligence information related to Konoha very clearly.

"So Konoha Village is now leaderless?"

Kisame Hoshigaki showed his fangs, "I just heard that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can control the power of the tailed beasts, so I wanted to test it out."

"Now it seems that if we have the chance, we can directly kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I think there should be few people in Konoha Village who can stop us now."

"...There should be few people who can stop me, as for you."

When Itachi Uchiha heard his proposal, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "We should still act according to the original plan. We didn't plan any routes after the capture before, and we didn't even have reinforcements."

"Kisame, if you are surrounded, I will probably give up on you."

He did not hide his ruthlessness.

And this sentence directly choked Kisame, making him not know how to respond.

However, although the two were talking, their speed was not slow at all.

In just a few words, in less than a minute, they had already approached Naruto.

But unfortunately, the people in the Anbu nearby were also not slow.

When they found that Uzumaki Naruto was being chased by the invaders, the nearby Anbu had quickly emerged from the dark and set up an ambush on the road that the invaders had to take to the center of Konoha.

When Uzumaki Naruto stepped through the empty street.

The place that could be walked on suddenly turned into a quagmire, trapping Uchiha Itachi and his two pursuers.

"Earth escape, earth flow wall."

A figure emerged, and then with Uchiha Itachi and his two as the center, high walls rose from all directions to completely trap them, leaving no gaps.

Then, a waterfall-like water flow mixed with mud poured in from above.

Until the end, the box was sealed and the fire was heated.

One by one, extremely exquisite fire escape secrets heated up the square earth prison.

The whole coordination process was smooth, and the two were completely trapped in less than a minute.

The Anbu ninjas who had no power to resist Naruto's transformation into a tailed beast, showed excellent teamwork ability when facing the ninjas who were also "humans".

But unfortunately...

"Be careful around, the other party is Uchiha Itachi!"

Kakashi and Might Guy came from afar, but their voices arrived before they arrived.

The Anbu ninjas who were originally looking at the huge earthen dungeon being heated indifferently became tense again.

This name made them more vigilant.

"Itachi, it seems that you have a high reputation in your village."

With an excited voice from a distance, the figure of Hoshigaki Kisame had left the huge "boiler" at some point and appeared at the end of the street.

As he spoke, a huge wave like clouds and mist surged into the street and rolled towards them.

"Are you not trapped?"

"With this level of water-based ninjutsu and chakra, retreat quickly."

"No! We can't retreat. There's a residential area behind us. We have to block it!"

A brief exchange of words came from under the masks of these Anbu ninjas. Facing the rolling waves, they did not retreat, but instead used their familiar ninjutsu to try to intercept the waves.

Obviously, although their cooperation just now was extremely smooth, they misjudged the opponent's strength.

The opponent was Uchiha Itachi, a genius ninja with the Sharingan. It was impossible for him not to see through their tactical arrangements.

Therefore, the figure that was chasing Naruto just now was actually just a shadow clone.

The one trapped in the earthen dungeon by them was also a shadow clone.

"Fire escape, Great Fireball Technique."

"Compound Ninjutsu, Condensed Earth Stone Wall."

The thick stone wall condensed by earth escape ninjutsu and water escape ninjutsu rose in the dark night, blocking the wave and preventing the buildings in the village from being washed away.

Then, another ninja who was proficient in fire escape jumped onto the high wall and evaporated the surging water with a scorching fireball.

The hot and bright fire attracted some Anbu ninjas farther away, and they gathered here.

"What a huge amount of chakra, is this guy a Jinchūriki?"

But unfortunately, their resistance and counterattack could only barely resist this water flow.

With the output control of Hoshigaki Kisame's chakra, this wave has always been in a stalemate with their group of people.

With only one person, they were almost unable to resist. In addition, they had recently fought against Jinchūriki, so they had to think more about this level of chakra.

"Where is Uchiha Itachi?"

At this time, Kakashi and the others finally arrived. They easily saw the whole battle from the other end of the street.

But the only ninja who was in a stalemate with the Anbu was Hoshigaki Kisame, and Uchiha Itachi had disappeared from this area...

He hurriedly ran towards the center of Konoha. Because it was already evening and close to dinner time, there were not many people along the way.

In the dark night, Naruto's speed was getting slower and slower.

His chakra control became extremely unstable and difficult to control as the Nine-Tails Seal was strengthened.

Chakra control is not only the basis for using ninjutsu, but also the basis for being a ninja.

Effectively controlling the flow of chakra in battle can increase physical fitness to a certain extent.

Especially in terms of speed, as long as the chakra is concentrated on the soles of the feet, when the proficiency reaches a certain level, you can use the advanced instant body technique like the wind.

Naruto used to be able to perform the instant body technique for a short time, but now he can't do it.

Suddenly, Naruto, who was running, jumped to the side.

Ding——

The kunai nailed to the ground where he was about to land, making a crisp sound.

Without looking back, Naruto got up and continued to run towards the center of Konoha.

Even if the invaders have caught up, his heart is very calm.

No matter who the invaders are, it seems that their target is himself.

Stopping to watch the people behind is definitely not a wise choice. Not stopping is the best way.

In fact, compared to running towards the center of Konoha, he thinks it would be wiser to run towards the Hyuga clan, because he believes that even the guy behind him who is highly valued by Teacher Kakashi can't beat Ryosuke.

But this will also easily expose Ryosuke's existence.

Naruto knew that Ryosuke had been hiding his strength.

"Why did you choose to run away? Where is your Nine-Tails?"

Uchiha Itachi was not surprised that the Kunai was avoided, and he followed closely behind calmly.

He tried to force Naruto to use the power of the tailed beast.

But Naruto turned a deaf ear to his words, not because he didn't want to use it, but because he himself had no way to unlock the five elements seal.

He fled in silence, but even if he used the Shadow Clone Technique, Uchiha Itachi could always find his true body from several figures.

Time passed by bit by bit, very slowly.

Naruto never thought that the distance from the periphery of Konoha to the center would be so far.

And along the way, no ninja from the Anbu appeared again, as if everyone had been attracted by the battle on the other side.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

But at this moment, a voice familiar to Naruto sounded from a very far distance, with strong resentment and anger.

And the voice was approaching at a very fast speed. Just by listening to the voice, he could tell that it was Uchiha Sasuke who had fought with him in the afternoon.

That's right!

Uchiha Itachi, this intruder is Sasuke's brother!

He was the S-rank rebel ninja who destroyed his family, killed everyone except Sasuke, and left the village!

Naruto, who didn't want to look back, had to look back now.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a black shadow running in the dim light. In just a blink of an eye, it came to his side and swung a sharp kunai at Uchiha Itachi.

Ding——

The crisp sound rang again.

"You haven't changed at all, Sasuke."

Holding a kunai, Uchiha Itachi, who easily blocked this stab, looked very indifferent.

His arm holding the kunai was very relaxed.

In contrast, Sasuke, who was also holding a kunai at the other end, was shaking constantly.

He gritted his teeth, and the Sharingan in his eyes had turned into three magatama at some point.

The black magatama spun in his blood-red eyes. All his strength was gathered in his arms, but he still couldn't make the kunai in his hand go deeper.

"You are still as weak as a few years ago. You don't even have the qualifications to test my ability."

With a little effort, Uchiha Itachi easily blocked Sasuke's kunai and rushed towards Naruto again.

The same hurtful words and the same cold expression made Uchiha Sasuke's suppressed emotions for so many years uncontrollably vent, "Your opponent is me!"

He roared hoarsely, regardless of the consumption of his own chakra, and his speed soared again, blocking Naruto at a speed faster than Uchiha Itachi.

With a seal in his hand, Sasuke spewed out a hot fireball from his mouth and blasted his brother at a very close distance.

"Have you lost your mind just like that? I'm so disappointed."

The firelight was reflected in his pupils, and the burning touch on his skin did not change Uchiha Itachi's expression at all.

In his pupils, the same three magatama as Sasuke's were connected in a line, turning into a windmill-like Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Under my eyes, your three magatama are as fragile as a baby."

As soon as Uchiha Itachi finished speaking, the black windmill in his eyes turned, and bright blood flowed from his eye sockets.

The red fireball that was almost within reach was suddenly covered by a black flame, and then it fell to the ground like a ball of black thread.

But what was strange was that the black flame did not extinguish even when it fell to the ground, and it did not slowly dissipate until the fireball spewed by Sasuke was completely swallowed up.

"Get out of the way. You are not qualified to stand in front of me."

With a strong look of contempt and disdain in his eyes, he did not even look at Uchiha Sasuke for a second time, and moved his sight to Uzumaki Naruto behind him, "Nine-tail Jinchuriki, show your strength."

"..."

Before Naruto could answer, Sasuke, who was standing in front of him, rushed forward again, "Why... why do you dare to appear in front of me so nonchalantly, why do you dare to say these words so confidently!"

Uchiha Itachi's words deeply hurt Sasuke.

Many memories emerged in his mind, prompting him to forget fear, forget calmness, and even forget to think.

Obviously, as long as he thought a little, he could understand the gap between them at this time, but Sasuke just couldn't examine himself.

"Die!"

Like a mad dog, he waved his kunai forward and tried to fight in close combat again.

The unsystematic offensive, although every move was aimed at Uchiha Itachi's vitals, had no effect.

The gap in physical fitness, combat experience, and bloodline ability all deepened the gap between them, which could not be made up by fighting desperately.

"You've wasted a lot of my time."

Such Sasuke made Uchiha Itachi's face, which had never fluctuated, show a hint of anger.

The next moment, the force of his hand increased. With just one stroke, the sharp kunai left a deep wound on Sasuke's body. From the flesh and blood that came out of the wound, white bones could still be seen faintly.

"Calm down Sasuke, you have no chance at all."

As a bystander, Naruto finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He chose to join the battle and pulled Sasuke out of Itachi's attack range.

Staring at Sasuke with red eyes beside him, he said seriously: "With your fighting rhythm, you can't even use half of your strength to fight me, let alone defeat Uchiha Itachi who is much stronger than me."

Although he knew that he was not sure to defeat this guy, but... Uchiha Sasuke's appearance touched him, so he couldn't help but want to help him.

At this time, far away from here.

Ryosuke was squatting on a house, hiding his figure in the darkness of the night, observing the situation here from a distance.

But the person he was observing was not Naruto or Sasuke, let alone Uchiha Itachi.

Ryosuke's eyes were fixed on this large area, and through the ability of the Byakugan, he directly penetrated the ground and saw the disgusting black shadow deep underground.

A mass of black mud with a human shape, but completely inconsistent with human characteristics!
